Transformation: Christopher Chiott Cuts an Inspiring 90 Pounds!
I played for football for 15 years of my life and I was always a big kid. My sophomore season I tore my knee apart and got up to 316 pounds and felt awful both mentally and physically. I decided it was time for a change.
After football I began researching how to eat and train as opposed to dieting and rebounding.
My major turning point was stepping on the scale and seeing a number above 300lbs.
What Were Your Major Struggles or Challenges?
Staying focused on my mission while being a full time student and working in order to pay for things, i.e. food and life.
Detail Your Workout and Cardio Plan During Your Transformation
I would do about 40 minutes of cardio a day and never less than 20. I would train a typical 6 day split resting on Sunday but still doing active recovery.
Once I dropped the first 40lbs my mobility improved so did my training.
Detail Your Diet/Eating Plan During Your Transformation
Bro food. Complex carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats. After a while I would experiment with different foods in order to break plateaus and different diets such at Keto and Paleo.
Detail Your Supplement Plan During Your Transformation
- Whey Protein
- Multi
- Fish Oil
- BCAA's
- Thermogenics
What Was Your Major Accomplishment, or Major Milestones?
Major milestone has been the biggest thing I've accomplished in my weight loss journey and that's keeping the weight off for 4 years now.
Detail Your 3 Biggest Mistakes
- Not listening to my body and resting.
- Thinking too much.
- Partying in college.
- Never give up because you never know who you're motivating.
- You're going to have bad days: what separates you is how you handle it.
- Also be open to trying new things and listen.
You can do it. We all can do it. At the end of the day you have to be a little selfish and a little self-servicing but your true friends and the people who care will be there after just as they were before.
Surround yourself with like-minded people and always be humble when you see someone else working hard because they might have been where you were once, so lend a hand.

April 21, 2013 (NORTHFIELD, Ill.) --Four people were reportedly injured in a fiery crash involving a semi-truck and another vehicle along the Edens Expressway Sunday evening.
The truck was apparently on top of the other vehicle, according to state police.
The accident happened in the northbound lanes of the Edens near Tower Road in north suburban Northfield.
Police and firefighters remained on the scene for several hours, and traffic was redirected off the Edens in both directions temporarily.
All lanes were reopened later.

Facebook isn't just for wasting time at your current job, it's now able to help you find a new job entirely.
The social network has unveiled its new 'Jobs' page, which allows businesses to list all kinds of work for you to find. You can even apply for the job and make contact with recruiters directly through Facebook.
"Jobs may appear in the Fews Feed, in the new bookmark for jobs, and alongside other posts on business pages," Facebook's blog post reads. "When [an applicant] clicks on the Apply Now button, a form will open that's pre-populated with information from their profile."
While I'm in favour of any service that helps people find work, this does seem to make it even easier for potential employees to trawl your Facebook profile to find personal info on you.
The jobs service will only be available in the US and Canada at launch, but I've contacted Facebook to see if there are plans for a global rollout.

Gun Education Beats Gun Control
Letter to the editor
January 4, 2014
Kudos to the Yale professors who convened a class to assess gun violence in our society [Dec. 20, op-ed, "Firearm Violence: A Public Health Problem"]. After a year of gun-banners' banal slogans and misdirected legislation, it was a relief to see that, finally, the cause of such violence and common-sense ways of resolving it are finally being discussed. We do the sweet victims of Sandy Hook a favor when we finally direct our attention toward the causes of gun violence insead of feel-good legislation passed because we had to "do something.
Panera Announces New Gun Policy
By JENNY WILSON
September 8, 2014
After the defeat of gun control legislation in the U.S. Senate, Newtown activists have instead focused on private sector advocacy - and got a win Monday when Panera announced it would adopt a gun-free policy. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun control group founded in response to Newtown, announced Monday that Panera Bread CEO Ronald M. Shaich had announced "that the company will proactively ask guests at its 1,800 bakery-cafés in 40 states to leave their firearms at home.
Gun Hearing Tests Tolerance
January 29, 2013
Our democracy shows its strength when we disagree the most. On Monday, hundreds of people shuffled in the snow for an hour or more just to get into the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, where a hearing on gun controls was underway. People who harbored memories of loved ones brought down by gunfire mingled with others who clung as tightly to copies of the Second Amendment and their interpretation of it. The views of each were so deeply entrenched that there seemed little likelihood anyone's mind would change.
Man Involved In 2005 Fatal Police Shooting In Hartford Faces Assault, Gun Charges
By DAVID OWENS, firstname.lastname@example.com
September 8, 2014
HARTFORD — Brandon Henry, who with his friend Jashon Bryant, was shot by a Hartford police officer in 2005 and later testified at the officer's trial on assault and manslaughter charges, was arrested late Friday by Hartford detectives and East Hartford police. Henry, 31, of East Hartford, faces charges of first-degree assault, criminal use of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit, police said. The charges relate to a shooting about 11:30 p.m. March 26 at 30 Hughes St., police said.
LETTER: Guns And Courage
April 20, 2013
Opponents of universal background checks may believe they are brave. But like many bullies, who like to think they are courageous, what we actually see demonstrated is cowardice. After all, a truly brave person doesn't need a gun. And really brave U.S. senators and congressmen would vote for what their constituents want, and what may help keep them safe, not what their wealthy campaign contributors, like the NRA and the gun makers lobby, scare them into doing. Although background checks may not prevent all tragedies such as Newtown, any strengthening of our laws will give law enforcement a greater ability to prevent and prosecute potential killers and may give pause to anyone providing guns to those who might use them against innocents.
LETTER: Untrained Gun Owners Dangerous
March 7, 2013
In the ongoing debate about gun control, the question most addressed is who can own a gun, with little attention paid to who can safely and effectively use a gun. There is almost no discussion about who can responsibly use a gun for defense. Firing a gun accurately in a dangerous situation is not the same as shooting at a paper target or a deer grazing in a meadow. A recent article in The Courant, "Source: Police Fired 41 Shots At Man Holding Fake Gun" [March 2, news] reported that several officers fired 41 shots but only six of these (15 percent)
Man With Toy Gun Arrested
By The Hartford Courant
January 19, 2010
Police early today arrested a 36-year-old man who they said was holding what looked like a gun. The gun turned out to be a toy, Sgt. Christene Mertes said. About 1:35 a.m., the officers approached the man, who was in the area of 104 Putnam St. As they walked toward him, the man turned away and brought his hands close to his chest, Mertes said. The man, who police identify as Jose Lopez, dropped what appeared to be a black handgun to the ground. Police then learned it was plastic.
LETTER: Pro-Gun Rally Appalling
January 25, 2013
The people who participated in Saturday's pro-gun rally in Hartford and other locations throughout this state and nation demonstrated an appalling lack of compassion, understanding and community, all the while revealing their irrational, childish and self-centered beliefs. The timing of their rally, given recent events in this state and country, is nothing short of disgusting. The perceived threat to Second Amendment rights is nothing but fiction. And their collective belief in their own "rightness" in gun ownership and the good it does for this nation is little more than collective hallucination.
LETTER: Gun Advocates Wrong Twice
January 25, 2013
Letter writer Donald Lewis asserts that the Second Amendment is all about self-defense "Jan. 19, "Assault Weapons For Self-Defense"]. No, it's about a "well regulated militia. " Gun enthusiasts conveniently forget that part of the terribly written amendment. On the same page, letter writer Donald K. Martin cites an "endless" list of laws he deems useless because people don't obey them. He concludes we shouldn't bother with gun control laws -- because people won't obey them. Yes, people break laws, but laws define conduct that society finds unacceptable because it harms others.
Market Robbed By Men With Knife, Gun
April 21, 2010
Two men, one with a knife and the other with a gun, robbed the Tropical Mini Market on Whiting Street late Monday, police said. Neither of the clerks working at the store was hurt. Police said a possible third accomplice entered the store shortly after 9 p.m., looked around and left. The two robbers entered immediately afterward. One of them had a gun. The other grabbed a knife from inside the store and used it during the robbery. "Nobody move. Give me everything," the robbers said, according to police.
Hamden Teen Takes Gun To Middle School
By DAVID OWENS, email@example.com
September 8, 2014
HAMDEN — A 13-year-old local girl was charged with stealing her father's loaded Ruger 9mm handgun and taking it to school on Friday. The girl later told police that after school, she gave the gun to a 13-year-old boy. The theft came to the attention of police when the girl's father went to police headquarters about 9 p.m. Friday to report that his daughter had taken the gun, which was locked in the glove compartment of his vehicle. The girl put the gun into her backpack, police said, and took it to Hamden Middle School.
Panera Asks Customers To Leave Guns At Home
By JENNY WILSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
September 8, 2014
Newtown gun control activists won another victory Monday when the CEO of Panera Bread announced company plans to adopt a stricter firearms policy. Last year, advocates focused their lobbying efforts on legislatures, but since the defeat of gun control in the U.S. Senate, groups like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America have launched a corporate policy advocacy push, hoping to improve safety through private sector lobbying efforts. In the past year, Target, Chipotle, Sonic, Jack in the Box and Chili's all agreed to revise their firearms policies.
Objects To Gun Control
Letter to the editor
September 8, 2014
Letter writer Jay Greer is simply wrong [Sept. 3, "Foley On Wrong Side Of CCDL"]. Maybe Greer and state Rep. William Tong would like to let us know what laws criminals follow? Much like Dan Malloy, they want to look to gun legislation as a way to reduce crime. Malloy has recently stated in his debate that crime is on the decline. He is right, but it has nothing to do with the new laws as gun ownership and permits are up among every demographic. There are more than 205,000 permits in Connecticut alone.
Gun Sculpture Questioned
Letter to the editor
September 4, 2014
Regarding the story "A Goodwill Message: Artist Brings Sculpture Made Of Shredded Weapons To Bushnell Park" [Aug. 31, Arts]: How can art be expected to be critically accepted if the fundamental premise is not valid? The New Jersey gun buyback program, which provided the artist with his raw materials, is not restricted to illegal weapons. Michael Kalish, the sculptor, may be making a political, social or artistic point, but it undermines the message when the claim that his sculpture is made of only illegal guns is very likely not true.
Colt Is Unspoken Context For Gun Sculpture
Letter to the editor
September 4, 2014
I read, reread, and re-reread "A Goodwill Message: Artist Brings Sculpture Made Of Shredded Weapons To Bushnell Park" [Aug. 31, Arts] to be sure I didn't miss the reference to Samuel Colt. Although the tragedy of Sandy Hook makes Hartford the appropriate and poignant place for the initiation of Michael Kalish's sculpture, the city's inexorable link with gun manufacturing was surprisingly overlooked. That aspect of our history brings even more depth and color to Kalish's art, opening avenues to explore additional thoughts and conversations.
Sculpture Made of Gun Parts Unveiled in Bushnell Park
By ALEXANDER PUTTERMAN, email@example.com
September 3, 2014
HARTFORD - Henrietta Beckman looked at the sculpture made of guns before her Wednesday afternoon and contemplated where they had once been and what they had become. "It just does something to me to know that those were guns that were used to kill people," she said. "Those are guns that won't be used ever again. " Beckman, whose son was shot and killed in 2002, is a vocal anti-gun-violence activist and member of Mothers United Against Violence. She was among about 120 people in attendance for the unveiling of the sculpture, crafted from used firearms, in Bushnell Park.
Pedestrian With Child Points Gun At Motorist
May 11, 2010
A man with a gun who police said was walking with a child on Albany Avenue has been arrested, police said. Angel Martinez, 36, of Ogilby Drive, was arrested on seven charges, including first-degree reckless endangerment, risk of injury to a minor and criminal possession of a firearm, police said. According to Sgt. Christene Mertes, a driver was headed west on Albany Avenue, near Westbourne Parkway, about 7:30 p.m. Saturday when the pedestrian, later identified as Martinez, pointed a gun at him and yelled, "What are you trying to do, run me over?"
Police Chase Stolen Car, Fire On Suspect After Police Say He Points Gun At Officers
By DAVID OWENS, firstname.lastname@example.com
September 2, 2014
WASHINGTON, Conn. — A state trooper and a Woodbury police officer fired on a man Monday morning who allegedly pointed a gun at them at the end of a police chase. The chase began about 11:15 a.m. in Woodbury when the trooper and Woodbury officer spotted the Chevy SUV, which had been reported stolen in Southbury on Friday. Police were also told that there was a handgun in the vehicle. The chase ended at Wykeham Road and Bell Hill Road in Washington, when the man crashed. Lt. J. Paul Vance said the man, identified Tuesday as Tyler Santoro, 31, of Old Waterbury Road in Southbury, tried to ram a police car, and then pointed a gun at the officers.
Gun Group Backs Foley for Governor
By DANIELA ALTIMARI and JENNY WILSON, email@example.com
August 29, 2014
HARTFORD – The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a grassroots gun owners group, is backing Republican Tom Foley in the race for governor, passing over pistol-permit holding petitioning candidate Joe Visconti. The organization's executive board met Tuesday night in New Britain to discuss the upcoming political races but its endorsements were closely guarded until Friday morning, when they were posted on the CCDL website. The group has about 15,000 members across the state. The board concluded that Foley and his running mate, Heather Somers, have the best chance of defeating Democrat Dannel P. Malloy, who helped craft stricter gun control measures after the Newtown school shootings.

I am loving this tag doing the rounds introduced to us by Shantala. It has been fun reading other's responses. For a change, this one is not about books but a little more about me. Read through and pick up the #AnythingButBooks tag. I would love to read yours too.
Name a cartoon(s) that you love.
I grew up at a time when there was just one hour of cartoon shown on Sunday mornings at 9 called Mickey and Donald which I loved. Then there were the video cassettes of Tom and Jerry we used to watch for endless hours. Among the recent cartoons, I love binge-watching Shinchan. I have to watch it, I have 2 boys.
What is your favorite song right now?
It is a not so current song. But, I have been listening to this on endless loop as I discovered it recently.
Kehte hain khuda ne is jahan mein sabhi ke liye
Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye
Tera milna hai us rab ka ishara maano
Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye
For the non-Hindi speaking, here is the translation –
"It says God has created someone for everyone,
Finding you is a sign from Him,
That I am made for someone like you."
I love the way the music goes around in circles. If you loved the lyrics, the music is even better. Here is the link
What could you do for hours (that isn't reading)?
I can spend hours walking. I love to go for long walks, walk in a market, shopping, walking to anywhere. All I need is a pair of comfortable and strong shoes.
What is something you love to do that your followers would be surprised by?
I love to spend time in Museums and in ruins. I can spend hours and hours going through each and every exhibit and reading all the notes written below it and I can remember them too. On my last weekend in London, I spent the whole day, yes the whole day, at the Victoria and Albert Museum and at the Natural History Museum. It was pure bliss.
As for the ruins, I stay near Bassein fort and I love to walk around the ruins of the fort. The fort is used for movie, music videos, ads and TV serial shootings too. It helps to maintain this historical monument. But, it could also damage the original features of the fort. I wish our Archeological department does more to protect this fort. You can see the fort in this famous song from Heropanti. Ignore the foreground dancers, just see the beautiful fort in the background.
What is your favorite unnecessarily specific thing to learn about (this can do with books, I guess)?
I want to learn about editing videos. Why? To create book reviews with videos. I don't want to be staring into a camera and showing people book hauls. But, more like an edited video which will show what the book is about. Anyone help me with where can I start?
What is something unusual you know how to do?
There really is nothing unusual I know that the rest of us doesn't know. In fact, there are too many things I do not know to do.
Name something you've made in the last year (and show us, if you can).
Well, last year I made this website. I used tutorials on Youtube to understand how to customise the themes, how to add code and lot of nitty-gritties. I am a techie and code loves me. It was pure bliss to seep through endless code after ages.
What is your most recent personal project?
It has to be growing capsicums. It did grow, I posted the pictures on Instagram. But, now I want to create a fairy garden or a miniature garden. All my time is now spent in watching their videos and Pinterest is full of ideas.
Tell us something you think about often (maybe while staring out of windows).
When I look out of my window, it is to a main road which is 100 feet wide. So, loads to think about like cars, clothes, signals. Just before the road is a peepul tree inhabited with birds of all kinds. Their morning activities are fun to watch. There is also crow's nest and I love watching their antics. Beyond the road is an unkempt open ground. It is green now due to the first rains and a delight to watch.
Give us something that's your favorite, but make it something oddly specific, not like your favorite food, but like your favorite food when you've been studying for hours and forgot to eat. Or, you know, something like that.
I am not really a foodie but I love to listen to music when studying or working very hard. If it needs me to concentrate and stay awake, music is the best. It helps me focus.
Now that you know me a little more, tell me about yourself.

My husband and I have 894 books archived in our Kindle Library on Amazon. We each have installed the Kindle Reading App on our iPads, iPhones and iPad Mini, so we can read any of those books at any given time.
Some Disadvantages to Reading ebooks:
1. It is not so easy to lend a book to a friend. Some books in the Kindle Archive are "lending enabled", but most of them are not.
2. I also do not like paying for a book. Although the Kindle edition is usually cheaper than the paperback, I still miss going to Bookman's Used Book Store and using my trade credit to pick up a book. To help with the cost, I follow Book Bub.
Kindle Books and Tips, a blog by Michael Gallagher to see what is free or discounted. Many of our 894 books were free or very inexpensive.
You can subscribe by email or follow those two sites on Facebook.
Another way to help with the cost of reading ebooks is to use Overdrive and the Pima County Library. Pima County Library now has its own app in the App Store. You can now access Overdrive through that App.
Overdrive enables you to reserve an ebook and then add it to your iPad or other device. You can keep it for three weeks. They do not have a huge selection, but they do have a variety of good books. I wanted to read Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I put a reserve with the library, and I think I was, like, 53rd on the list, but the library has 12 copies of the ebook. I was surprised how quickly I received my email notice saying that I could now check out the book.
You can download the book in epub format, which works with most devices, or if you have an Amazon Kindle Account like I do, you can download it in Kindle format. More on that in a later post.
If you own a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone of any type, you can download the Overdrive App (Pima County Library App if you are local ) and the Kindle Reading App for your device. Happy reading!

Houston (CBS HOUSTON) – The 2013 season was not at all what the Houston Texans were hoping for. But the season is over and the time is already upon us to look to the future. 2014 will look a lot different for the Texans. They will have a new head coach, possibly a new quarterback and certainly a new number one overall pick to try and turn the team around.
And only hours after the 2013 season is over, we know who the Houston Texans will be facing to try and turn 2014 into what many were hoping 2013 would be.
Here are who the Houston Texans will face in 2014. We do not have dates just the teams:
Home: Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington,
Away: Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas, NY Giants, Oakland
Time to begin analyzing how the Texans will do, a whole eight months before any of these games will be played.
The games that jump out are getting to face Baltimore again and heading to Dallas to battle for Texas supremacy against the Cowboys.

Bean Waffles
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Adapted from Alicia Silverstone's recipe for Protein-Packed Waffles in her book Kind Mama, the base for these vegan and gluten-free waffles are beans, soaked overnight and pureed - no pre-cooking. At first I was skeptical - would they be too starchy, or cause too much, ahem, discomfort. Nope. They're amazing, hefty and satisfying with a very subtle bean flavor. I tweaked the recipe, reducing the oat quantity, adding more flax, plus a touch of honey and EVOO (the latter crucial to prevent sticking). These are now in constant rotation in our household - even the baby loves them (his first finger food!) —WineWithDinner
Serves: 6
cup dried white beans (I use great northern or navy), soaked overnight and drained
4 1/2
cups water
cups rolled oats
tablespoons whole flaxseed
tablespoons baking powder
teaspoons sea salt
tablespoons honey
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
- Add the soaked beans to a blender with the water (yes, you don't need to cook them first!) Start on low and gradually increase the speed until the beans are completely smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until fully incorporated. You may need to do this in two batches, especially if you don't have a high-speed blender (like a Vita-mix).
- Heat your waffle iron. I don't oil mine, as it's pretty good at living up to the non-stick promise. If yours isn't, brush on some coconut butter or use some coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
- When fully heated, pour in batter and cook until waffles are golden brown and cooked all the way through - about 6-8 minutes.
- Leftovers are great for quick breakfasts - just reheat in a toaster. These also freeze really well. Adapted from The Kind Mama by Alicia Silverstone
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Recipe with Beans

SKIES and FOGS
Here we will look at why I can not stand people who say,
"It was such a gorgeous day. Not a cloud in the sky. "
I love when it's freaking late summer and I get to work to find this:
Makes it really easy to pretend the giant Cthulhu Cow from The Mist (2007)
is standing there when it gets this thick.
Here's the view from my deck, looking like The End of the World.
The Christmas lights look like hand lightning from the Emperor which is nice.
I'm walking home and *BoOm*, there's a postcard.
Now these are blurry, but I think you can get a sense of the Wagnerian majesty.
This was like Odin was coming to Seattle. The clouds were moving super fast.

Cryptolocker Virus: Dangerous virus hits PCsPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- Computer hackers are becoming a real threat. And experts say they're becoming more aggressive and sophisticated.
The latest scheme involves hackers trying to force convince you to pay up or lose everything. It's called Cryptolocker, and it tricks people into clicking on a link that pops up on their computer.
"All they have to do is get in, lock everything up and you're going to pay between $300 and $2,500 to get your information back," says Ken Colburn of Data Doctors.
He says you're unable to access any of your computer files. "Pictures documents spread sheets, stuff that they know is really important to all of us, and they go and basically scramble it with a special key."
Colburn says tons of consumers continue to be affected by the virus. And he says businesses in particular should be cautious. "Any one employee that clicks on the wrong thing can basically cause the entire company's information to become locked up and cryptic."
One of the most common tricks to infect comes to you as an e-mail attachment that appears as a PDF file from well-known companies such as FedEx, UPS or others. Once you open the file, the chaos ensues.
"Even with a backup, if it is set up improperly, this virus can get in there, encrypt everything and basically hold you hostage," he tells us.
Colburn says he's never seen such a potent virus. "Without question, this is one of the most dangerous viruses we've seen since in the 25 years we've been doing this."
Colburn says the best way to protect yourself is to be extra cautious of any email, link, or download you open or click on. Also, Data Doctors has created a free download to help you protect yourself.

Publisher: September 28, 2014
Publication Date: REUTS Publications, LLC
Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Isra Kalb has grown up starving in the slums of Islamabad. But hunger is only the beginning. When her father is mysteriously murdered and madness corrupts her mother's mind, she's left alone to fend for herself and her sister. Homeless and destitute, the only thing she has to remember her loving family by is a commonplace necklace--an amulet barely worth keeping.
Or so she thinks.
Swept into a web of lies, deceit and turmoil, Isra struggles to find a place for herself and Zaffirah, wondering if the strange creatures and visions she's seeing are indications of the madness that took her mother. But when Snatchers capture Zaffirah, Isra learns her amulet isn't so useless after all.
Transported to Zarcane--the beastly garden where Adam and Eve were born--Isra comes face to face with her destiny. She's a Keeper, charged with protecting the borders of Zarcane and keeping the demon hordes lurking in the shadows from taking realms that are not their own. And she's not the only one; there's a second Keeper, a boy whose identity hasn't been revealed.
Now, in order to save her sister and fulfill her family's legacy as Keeper of the Amulet, she has to find the second Keeper and close the borders. Surrounded by betrayal, trapped between warring factions of angels, and desperate to save the only family she has left, Isra must decide:
Who can she trust when nothing is what it seems?
Author Bio: Anoosha Lalani has always had an insatiable desire to escape reality. It was a childhood trait that never seemed to fade out. If Anoosha were to make one wish, it would be to have wings to journey off the face of this planet and into the worlds of her stories.
When she's not writing, you may find Anoosha attending high school in Singapore. Having moved around so much, she has had the wonderful opportunity to be exposed to a vibrant range of cultures, which often seem to find their way into her stories. Anoosha was born in Pakistan, the setting of her most recent novel, The Keepers.
Connect with Anoosha on her website and twitter.
Guest Post: The Keepers: Playlist
So I'm always wishing I was one of those writers who could sit on a park bench, headphones in, pen in hand, writing in a moleskin notebook. Unfortunately I'm the kind of writer that curls up in bed in my pajamas and types on my laptop, alone in the dark. Parks are too loud, notebooks don't have backspace and music distracts me from doing actual writing. That's why me doing a blog post about music might come off as a little strange to my writer friends who know my habits.
Nonetheless, I am here to tell you that even though I don't write with music, music has inspired the world and characters of The Keepers. It has allowed me to create images in my head that I later describe through words in my book. So without further ado, here is the playlist for The Keepers!
Wallflower by Peacock Affect
Peacock Affect is an indie musician based in the UK. Through this song, he placed me in Isra's head and every time I hear it, I feel all her emotions. She's been thrust into a situation she has no control over, being a keeper, and she can simply watch, as her family is ripped apart. In a sense, she is a wallflower.
Home by Karsh Kale
Karsh Kale is an Indian American musician and he mixes the East Asian sound with more contemporary pop. This song brought me to streets of Islamabad and Isra's home.
Butterfly Culture by Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Benjamin Francis Leftwich is another indie singer. This song specifically hits on Zaffirah's innocence and her optimism. Just like Isra, she has been put through a lot but despite this, she has a head full of hope.
Desert Rose by Sting
The lyrics of this part Arabic song talks about gardens, deserts and roses. This is the song that played in the background when I daydreamed of Zarcane and the beautiful Abaddon. Sting also references Eden throughout his song and the temptation of the serpent.
Human by Christina Perri
Throughout the book when Isra is with her sister, she puts on a smile to support her. The song reflects on everything Isra has survived through. She doesn't let it destroy her. The one scene that comes to my mind when I hear this song is in the cave where Isra finally loses it. Her sister has just been taken, her parents are dead and she's just realized she has this magical amulet that could have saved her.
We Both Know by Colbie Caillat - ft. Gavin DeGraw
You might have heard this song in Safe Haven. This is also the song I believe best fits Ammun and Isra. The two of them only realize what they have when they're not together. Time apart makes their connection stronger.
Listen to complete the playlist on 8tracks!

EU and Palestinian Relations
- A five-year "Interim Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement on Trade and Co-operation" was signed between the European Community and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) on 24 February 1997 (see EU-PLO Agreements). The agreement was approved by the European Parliament on 9 April 1997 (372 votes in favour, 5 against, 4 abstentions). Because the Oslo Agreements did not allow the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to sign international agreements, it was signed by the PLO on behalf of the PNA. The first Joint Committee pursuant to this Interim Association Agreement was held on 23 May 2000 in Brussels.
- After the start of the Oslo peace process, the European Community launched a special programme of assistance to the Palestinian population. The total amount of EU aid for the period 1994-98 was 1.5 billion of which 441 MECU on the EC budget, 864 MECU from member states and 184 MECU in loans from the European Investment Bank. To this figure should be added 0.5 billion ECU (169 MECU from EC budget and 336 from member states) to UNRWA. Thus the total amount of European aid for that period was 2 billion ECU.

take a walk on the wild side in the art lab and one-to-one tactical intervention board game transformer.
this provocative incubation platform invited emerging university artists to undertake some serious play and consider ways in which they can creatively transform their immediate surroundings.
with workshops with 35 students and emerging practitioners at the university of the free state for two weeks, pvi created this site-specific, one-day-only game that the students performed en masse for the public in hertzog square as part of vrystaat kunstefees in bloemfontein, south africa.
the transformer game aims to activate players to undertake creative interventions within their immediate surroundings which temporarily transform the site. upon the roll of a dice you could be invited to quickly make and sail an origami paper boat on the square's lake or undertake some guerrilla gardening. each intervention was devised with the university students during the lab in consultation with the local community at hertzog square.
transformer aims to activate public space through participation and serious play, to question our capacity as citizens to enact positive change.
the transformer board was adapted from some of the earliest pre historic board games that existed before written language and have since evolved into classic games that we know today. the board was populated with new content, and so, for example instead of the 'properties' found in monopoly there was local sites and historical events and in place of 'chance' cards we have 'transform' cards which contain task based provocations for immediate undertaking.
the actions were devised in consultation with the students, incorporating on-the-ground research with members of the public in the city.

Defense powers St. Paul girls basketball to pair of vicitories
ST. PAUL — A year ago, St. Paul showed flashes of great potential and had a couple of hot streaks that put them in contention for a long-awaited berth in the 2A state playoffs.
The Bucks were unable to maintain their high level of play down the stretch and were eliminated from playoff contention in a league-tiebreaker contest.
That inconsistency, however, appears to be a thing of the past, as coach Dave Matlock's team has avoided the slow starts and underwhelming efforts that plagued it for stretches in 2016-2017.
It was evident over the weekend as St. Paul dismantled Western Mennonite 48-28 Friday night in a key Tri-River Conference tilt, then rolled over Crosshill Christian 39-12 Saturday.
The Pioneers are not the powerhouse they've been in recent seasons, including runner-up, third- and first-place finishes at state the past three seasons, but at 3-0 in league entering the contest, they're no slouches either.
The Bucks, however, wasted little time in establishing who the dominant team was and raced to a 30-16 halftime lead.
"The biggest maturing step we've made this year is we are ready to play every game," Matlock said. "At times last year we were real slow starters and I couldn't even tell you why. This year, they I think have realized that and their mindset is to go out and get after it. Our mantra, as a team, is that we have to win the first three minutes of the first and third quarters."
St. Paul had impressive stretches last year, even against top-notch competition, but often was unable to sustain it for an entire game and let teams hang around or charge right back into games.
That wasn't the case Friday night, mostly because of how the Bucks defended Western Mennonite's top scoring threats Annika Hess, Peyton Hopper and Makennan Hopper. In a two-game stretch against Regis and Gervais, the trio scored 103 of the Pioneers' 106 points, but St. Paul did an excellent job of preventing all three from driving the lane and forcing them to pass.
The Bucks limited Western Mennonite (7-10, 3-1) to five points in the third quarter, which pushed the advantage to 18 points at 41-23 and allowed Matlock to substitute pretty freely in the fourth quarter.
"They know how to set you up for moves and they know how to finish," Matlock said. "So we knew the key was to have multiple girls because one on one you can't stop them. So that was the game plan, every time (Hess) or the Hoppers were on the ball and they're trying to drive was to double and even triple. We knew we had to make the other two girls shoot the ball and score points, which they hadn't done."
It wasn't the best shooting night for St. Paul, but Matlock's team dominated on the glass, getting many of its points on put-backs. Even then the Bucks weren't finishing at a high rate, but they made more than enough to put the game out of reach.
"We didn't shoot the ball as well tonight, but we knew that we were going to be able to get the boards tonight," he said. "We just rushed our finishes. We didn't gather. But to get those looks is key. With a little more maturity as we go forward, they'll finish those and we'll easily score 60."
Sophomore guard Erin Counts paced the offense with 18 points on medium-range jumpers and drives to the basket, while sophomore post Isabelle Wyss led the effort inside and posted 17 points.
With just one league contest on the schedule, St. Paul (13-3, 3-1) opened the week with a non-conference win over 1A Country Christian and closed it with a trip to future Casco League rival Crosshill Christian on Saturday.
The Eagles have been a solid 1A program in recent years, but are rebuilding this winter and struggled mightily to score the ball in the 39-12 loss.
The Bucks weren't at their best offensively, but didn't need to be either, with Counts notching 14 points and Wyss 10.
St. Paul will face a pair of important league road tests this week, traveling to Santiam Wednesday and to East Linn Christian Friday.

Robitussin Is Basically #FutureHive Now, Sneaks a DS2 Plug Into New Commercial
Should someone tell them?
Future's addiction to lean has been heavily publicized (but hopefully not emulated by his #FutureHive), and now it has a super on-brand endorsement. In a new Robitussin commercial, the cough-syrup company (or, more likely, someone at their ad agency) managed to sneak in a reference to the vibrant-colored Shutterstock image from Future's DS2 album cover in the germs one contagious guy coughs up all over a crowded elevator. Cover your mouth, dude! It's either Robitussin's way of supporting dirty Sprite without actually putting Styrofoam cups in all their commercials, or it's a shameless ploy to get Future to stop advertising their competitor Actavis in all his lyrics. (Hey, at least they got that one Drake shout-out.) You be the judge! Here's the DS2 cover for reference:

After stints with KMFDM, Marilyn Manson and SKOLD vs. KMFDM, as producer/songwriter/guitarist/bassist,
Tim Skold once again records as SKOLD.
Growing from production duties on Marilyn Manson's cover versions of "Tainted Love" and "Personal Jesus"
to songwriting and production duties on the Marilyn Manson albums "Golden Age Of Grotesque" and "Eat Me, Drink Me",
SKOLD has returned darker, harder and heavier than ever.
3 songs, "I Will Not Forget" , "A Dark Star" and "Bullets Ricochet" are also available. For previews and links go to 'MUSIC'
The full length SKOLD album release is slated for 2011.
Check out sound samples: http://www.skold.com
SKOLD waylays 2011 with his first full-length solo album in 15 years.
Delivering a snarky CD single prelude on April 12, setting the stage for a May 10th full Album release - SKOLD steps up once again, supplying sonic solvent for the huffing social cynics.
Gestating through production and composition with such artists as KMFDM and Marilyn Manson, producing feats like the #1 Billboard charting album The Golden Age of Grotesque [feat. "mOBSCENE" nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.] and the critically acclaimed Eat Me, Drink Me, SKOLD arrived prodigiously throughout 2009, having dispatched the album SKOLD vs. KMFDM and three new solo teaser tracks: "I Will Not Forget", "Bullets Ricochet" and "A Dark Star" garnished with validation by accolades of TV placement in shows like NCIS and FlashForward, and rabid fan consumption.
The product of an active 2010, the May album and its first single, "Suck", are munitions ready to go and renowned label Metropolis Records has signed on as gunner to make sure those salvos hit on target. The April CD single raises a flag taken up by cohorts and allies like Combichrist, KMFDM, 16Volt and Front Line Assembly who have shown up to contribute their own remixes of the track.
Always one to fight on all fronts, 2010-turn-2011 will also see SKOLD continuing with the new Scandinavian metal/hard rock supergroup, Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult. Already finished recordings with the line up of underground heroes Hank von Hell [Turbonegro], Anders Odden [Celtic Frost, Satyricon], Audun Stengel [Apoptygma Berzerk] and David Husvik [Extol] look set to form an album band of brothers in the new year.
These releases and more lie in waiting for a smug and self-assured 2011 and all she carries with her.

To members, especially ones getting login errors on snipes - 2017-03-22
A few members are getting login errors for their snipes, preventing them from executing.
It could be that you entered your ebay login info (your password most likely) incorrectly, but I'm guessing you entered it correctly and that ebay showed a captcha image to the sniper engine, which the sniper engine can not work through.
I'm also guessing that if you visit ebay and login, you'll be shown a captcha image that you need to type in before logging in. Maybe more than once.
When testing code that we plan on adding to hidbid, I purposely entered wrong ebay login info. I did that 3 times. After that, I logged into ebay manually maybe 5 times through the day, and each time I had to enter a captcha shown, sometimes twice.
Maybe the 6th time however, no captcha was shown, and a snipe I had set up before testing failed login attempts, did execute, early the next day.
So, if you'd like to try another snipe, I'd recommend logging into ebay manually a few times through the day, working through any captcha images shown. If you do encounter them but after a few successful logins, they're no longer shown, you should be good to go with another snipe. JUST BE SURE THAT YOU ENTER YOUR CORRECT EBAY INFO FOR ANY SNIPE OR THE CYCLE WILL PROBABLY REPEAT.
You may also see a security questions page, or some other similar page that I have not yet encountered. Work through them as well, before setting up another snipe.
eBay's automated security system is set up to prevent hijacked accounts, and failed login attempts trigger it.
Please let me know if you have had login errors with your snipe(s), and you do attempt to set up another snipe and if the things above I mentioned are how things played out.
Still looking ok - 2017-03-17
Snipes are still executing as they should. Still working on some changes, second guessing some others.
I'll make another update when I have more news.
Still looking ok - 2017-03-16
Snipes are still executing ok. We had one today that had a login error, that could have been because the member input the wrong username or password when setting up the snipe. It could also have been a case where ebay rejected the login even though the login info was correct.
We've not checked, still working on the planned code changes/additions.
When we add some of them to the site, a login attempt to ebay will be made when you set up a snipe. If the login is rejected (some sort of special response page is shown rather that prevents the login), you'll be shown that page here (you can then do what is needed to prevent the special page from showing in the future - maybe pay for items you've not yet paid for, whatever else it may be, if possible) on hidbid, and the snipe will be rejected. There's no sense in allowing a snipe to be set up that won't execute.
It may be a few days still before that and other things are changed added.
I'll keep posting here, monitoring the stats.

A Jeffco-based advocacy group that supports the effort to recall the school board's conservative majority has filed a complaint alleging charitable fraud against an opposing group over a website domain name.
Lakewood police officers made an appearance at a Jeffco Public Schools orientation for new teachers Aug. 4 after union representatives passing out fliers were told they were trespassing.
The relationship between the Jefferson County Education Association and the school district has been strained in recent months over two lawsuits, contract negotiations, and an attempt to recall the district's three conservative school board members.
Negotiators for Jeffco Public Schools and the teachers union Thursday evening preliminarily agreed to a 10-month contract after a three-week stalemate over the agreement's duration.
Bargaining team members for the Jefferson County Education Association, who had originally said they would hold out for a three-year contract, said they agreed to the shorter pact in the interest of teachers, who return to schools Monday.
Negotiators for the Jeffco school district and the teachers union will head back to the bargaining table this week after a disagreement over the contract's length stalled bargaining for more than three weeks.
Representatives of the two sides, which are more than five months into negotiating a new contract, walked out of the last bargaining session July 15 without agreeing on the length of the contract. The Jefferson County Education Association wants a three-year contract guaranteed for teachers, while Jeffco Public Schools wants to limit the contract to 10 months.
Four grades of Jeffco Public Schools students outperformed the state average on social studies and science exams this spring but showed a drop in performance from last year in several categories.
The Colorado Department of Education on July 16 released test performance and participation figures for several categories of Colorado Measures of Academic Success testing from the past school year: fourth- and seventh-grade social studies, and fifth- and eighth-grade science.
The group trying to recall Jeffco's three conservative school board members has collected the signatures it needs to move forward with a recall election, a spokeswoman said.
Jeffco United for Action over the weekend stopped gathering signatures to recall John Newkirk, Ken Witt and Julie Williams, according to spokeswoman Lynea Hansen. The group announced Tuesday afternoon that it had collected more than 110,000 signatures.
A former commercial property manager and a veteran teacher will vie for a seat on the Jeffco school board this fall.
Arvada resident Kim Johnson, who touts her years in the business world and time spent volunteering in the Jeffco district, and Applewood resident Ali Lasell, who points to her 26 years of teaching and curriculum writing mostly at Adams 12 Five Star Schools, will compete for Jill Fellman's seat in District 3, which includes parts of Lakewood and Arvada.
Negotiations between Jeffco Public Schools and the teachers union have hit a snag over the length of the next contract.
The Jefferson County Education Association's bargaining team wants a three-year contract for teachers. The school district wants to limit the contract to 10 months.
The two sides seemed to be nearing an agreement before the issue came up at a July 15 negotiating session. Negotiators left the meeting without a resolution and with no date for the next session.
Both supporters and critics agree that the group trying to unseat Jeffco's three conservative school board members will likely have no trouble gathering the signatures needed to trigger a recall election.
The question is whether the signatures will be collected in time for the Jeffco Elections Division to decide that the recall election should be part of the regular off-year November ballot, thereby saving the district about $500,000 for a special election.
A group of Chatfield High students watched a year's worth of work go up in flames when a SpaceX cargo mission to the International Space Station exploded after liftoff on June 7.
The unmanned Falcon rocket was carrying an experiment developed last school year by the Chatfield students that was designed to produce rocket fuel in space using algae.
The Chatfield experiment was one of nine from schools across the country that was on its way, along with several tons of supplies, to the astronauts on the space station.

August in London is rather wonderful.
Simply, it's very quiet.
Ahhh, lovely.
Just listen to…nothing.
Okay, that's a slight exaggeration!
But there is less noise, fewer frenetic drivers, more relaxed people, as everyone's blood pressure drops a notch.
It's calmer, a time to regroup, to catch up…even the email spammers seem to be taking a break.
I adore silence. Probably like many musicians.
This may seem strange.
But it's really not.
For musicians, silence is the soil
into which we have to plant music;
we must nourish the soil, make sure it's of good quality
so that our seeds will take root.
Stephen Hough
After all, it's the intervals between notes, the spaces, that give music its shape.
It's the rests, the pauses, that make sense of the sound.
And it's silence that allows us to 'hear' our lives more clearly.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists.
But the pauses between the notes – ah, that is where the art resides.
Arthur Schnabel
Silence seems increasingly hard to find.
And we're becoming unused to it.
So much so that many of us have become uncomfortable with it.
The quiet – the space it creates and our thoughts that emerge from it – unsettle us.
We find ways to distract ourselves from it.
Still, despite this distancing, we recognise that we need silence.
We're looking for it in our personal lives, as evidenced in the rise of mindfulness.
And we're starting to prioritise it in the workplace. For example, the ubiquitous open-plan office is becoming recognised as a great concept if you want to alienate introverts, reduce productivity, and use noise pollution to drive people crazy!
This desire for a quieter working environment isn't some whinge from the oldies – it's younger people who are seeking it the most.
A quiet working environment is top of millennials' wish list!
So research shows us that silence is a necessary and wonderful thing.
Go on then!
Turn everything off, even just for five minutes.
Indulge yourself.
And, wherever you are, have a lovely, quiet August.

Program Purpose:
The National Institutes of Health-Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program is an accelerated, individualized doctoral training program for outstanding science students committed to biomedical research. The Program strives for high impact research outcomes, whether basic or clinical. For the Ph.D. track, basic research is aimed at fundamental biological questions that will influence thinking in established disciplines, and drive research across disciplines to create new areas of research. For the M.D./Ph.D. track, the same aims are pursued in clinical research.
Program Description:
Description of the Doctoral Program: The Program's distinguishing characteristics include dual-mentoring by NIH and UK investigators on a collaborative project. Scholars undertake a collaborative project in any area of biomedical investigation involving two mentors – one at the NIH intramural campus in Maryland and one at either Oxford or Cambridge University, and complete the Ph.D. in about 4 years – half the time of most American biomedical doctoral students. The projects culminate in the award of a D.Phil or Ph.D. in science from either Oxford or Cambridge. Description of the M.D./Ph.D. Partnership Training Program: The NIH-Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program can accommodate students seeking combined M.D./Ph.D. training as the pathway to a career as a physician-scientist. Students admitted to NIH M.D./Ph.D. Partnership Training Program conduct research in the NIH intramural research program as part of a coordinated plan of dual-degree training with a U.S. medical school in preparation for a career as a physician-investigator in basic or translational science. Applicants to the combined M.D./Ph.D. Program should apply to US medical schools with an NIH Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) and the NIH-Oxford- Cambridge program simultaneously. If accepted to both, they may be eligible for combined degree funding. This will provide an international collaborative dimension to the Ph.D. portion of a combined program and allows the student to progress more rapidly to completion of both degrees. Students pursuing the combined degree program enjoy access to the NIH Clinical Research Center and similar clinical schools at Oxford and Cambridge.
Program Benefits:
Students receive tuition, fees, and a living stipend to carry out their medical studies at a US medical school, and their Ph.D. work in the NIH Oxford-Cambridge program. Health insurance, travel allowance, and other educational expenses are also provided.
Application Process:
Doctoral Program Application Process: Only the GPP application is required for admission consideration to the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program. Matriculants submit their University applications to Oxford and/or Cambridge in early spring when they are admitted to the NIH-Oxford-Cambridge Program, although they are free to submit sooner in order to reserve spaces at the colleges of their choice. Students may submit applications to both universities if they are unclear at the time of admission which one they plan to attend. MD/PhD Partnership Training Program Application Process. Track 1: Simultaneous admission to medical school and the Scholars Ph.D. Program. Undergraduate or post-baccalaureate students can apply for MSTP programs at medical schools and the GPP (Graduate Partnership Programs) during the same admission cycle. Students must apply to medical schools for combined-degree training to be considered for the partnership pathway. If admitted to both programs, the student enters the partnering NIH Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) medical school with the permission of the GPP and MSTP program directors. For a list of NIH MSTP partnership programs, see: http://gpp.nih.gov/Prospective/InstitutionalPartnerships/AppInfoProspective.htm For students in Track 1, the process of mentor selection and laboratory rotations is accelerated so that the student is ready to begin Ph.D. thesis work in the fall of the third year of study after completion of the first two years of medical school – as much as one year ahead of other M.D./Ph.D. training programs. Track 2: Admission to Ph.D. training from medical school. Medical students can apply to an NIH GPP program and begin graduate training generally after completing the pre-clinical medical school curriculum. Students in 'year-out' programs such as the NIH-HHMI Research Scholars Program or the Clinical Research Training Program can also apply for Ph.D. training in this track. Upon acceptance to the GPP, students can then apply for MSTP status to the MSTP program of their medical school. Track 3: Admission to medical school and a MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) during Ph.D. training. Students wishing to pursue this pathway should apply to medical schools for combined degree training (not medical school only) so their applications are considered by the MSTP admissions committee at the medical school. Applying to this pathway during the first or second year of Ph.D. training is preferred so the training can be as integrated as possible. Because the 'Ph.D. First' pathway is non-traditional, admissions standards may be higher than in tracks 1 and 2.
For the Doctoral Program: Applicants with undergraduate degrees applying to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences at one or more of the GPP Institutional Partnership universities. For the M.D./Ph.D. Program. Track 1: Undergraduate or post-baccalaureate students applying to MSTP programs at medical schools and the GPP during the same admission cycle. Track 2: Medical students, generally those who have completed the pre-clinical medical school curriculum, or students in 'year-out' programs. Track 3: Ph.D. students, generally those in the first or second year of graduate school.
U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Program Deadline:
Deadlines vary, but are generally December through February. Consult the foundation website for more information.
How To Apply:
Students or alumni, as applicable, may apply directly to this program. Applicants are encouraged, however, to work with SF State's fellowship advisor well in advance of the program deadline to perfect their application essays and other materials.

What is the connection between junction temp. and thermal resistance?
Latest Updated:08/01/2005
What is the relationship between the junction temperature and the thermal resistance?
When using a power device, the relationship between the junction temperature and the thermal resistance, which indicates the resistance to the conductivity of heat, is important.
The junction temperature (Tj) can be expressed as follows:
Tj = Ta + θj-a x P Ta: Ambient temperature θj-a: Thermal resistance between a junction and ambient air (= between junction and case + between case and ambient air) P: Power consumption Based on this fact, the following can be stated
In the case of the same power consumption, the smaller thermal resistance makes smaller rise in temperature at the junction.
Therefore, the device can be used in a higher ambient temperature.
Conversely, if using the device at the same ambient temperature, the smaller thermal resistance allowes greater power consumption.

The meeting began quietly with Buzz Thielemann and Angalee Sutton from RHT Energy Solutions giving the planning commission the same presentation they had previously given to City Council on April 1st regarding the building of an energy efficient model home in Shady Cove. From there it moved to a continuance of the Public Hearing regarding zoning issues on property owned by Flywater, LLC.
It was then on to the matter of a site review on the aforementioned log home, owned by E.F. (Ernie) Dodson; the planning commission badges went on and the Ordinances were pulled out. In bygone days (2007) Dodson had initially applied for and received a Conditional Use Permit allowing him to remodel the log home for commercial use. Then life happened, years passed and Dodson did not get the remodeling done. The Use Permit changed to a Site Review as Dodson modified his initial application; however he had not modified the original site plan and therein the conundrum lay. With the property being highly visible landscaping was on the minds of not only the planning commission, but also City Planner Dick Converse and Public Works Manager George Bostic. Converse suggested xeriscaping (xeriscaping refers to landscaping and gardening in ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental irrigation – from the Greek "xeros," meaning dry.) as a water savvy and attractive option.
Dodson was thrown by the landscaping caveat to approval and even questioned if it were legal for the planning commission to request same. He was assured it is and is part of the ordinances. Commissioner Donna Barret advised Dodson that with his property being so highly visible and right at the "gateway" to the City the planning commission is very concerned that the finished product is an aesthetic one.
Other issues surrounding approval included some confusion on highway access and the key issue of would Dodson, if given another approval, actually complete the work in the 6 months granted. The six month deadline was imposed to ensure either the work gets done, or the log structure is removed. Again "there's a new Sheriff in town".
Dodson assured with a deadline in place, complete the remodel, though he continued to fret over all matters landscaping, he had not planned nor expected to be required to landscape to the degree the planning commission is now requiring.
In the end the matter was continued to the June 10 meeting so Dodson can have an updated site plan prepared and everyone will have a clear view of what is being approved (or declined). Additionally research can be done on the previous application and the matter of Highway access can also be clarified.
What will happen with Dodson's property remains to be seen, but the message is clear; if you plan to build in Shady Cove aesthetics will matter so Google xeriscaping and have a clear vision for your landscaping on paper before you come before the planning commission.
