If you push somebody out of a moving car, you are probably going to pay a steep price. Gucci Mane…not so much. Here is what TMZ is saying:
Gucci Mane learned the hard way … DO NOT shove a woman out of a moving Hummer … because that woman will sue you and then a judge will order you to cough up almost $60,000 in punitive damages.
Gucci was arrested in 2011 after he allegedly pushed a woman named Diana Graham out of a moving Hummer — all because she refused to go to a hotel room with him. He pled guilty to several charges and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Diana then sued the rapper for damages following the incident … claiming mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.
A Georgia judge recently ruled in her favor … a default judgement because Gucci failed to show up in court and submitted false testimony. The judge awarded Diana $58,161.24 for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering.
The judge also signed an order allowing Diana to go after the rapper's cars, bank accounts and other assets to settle her debt.
Calls to Gucci's rep have not been returned.
According to the Huffington Post, there is and wasn't ever any beef between Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. As you recall, they were saying that B had to son Kim at the Made In America tour for trying to get chummy with director Ron Howard. They report:
A source who knows both Kim Kardashian and Beyonce tells The Huffington Post, "Anyone who knows Kim can tell you that she doesn't even talk like that. She never saw Ron Howard that day and no such conversation ever took place — between Kim and Ron Howard or Kim and Beyonce. Beyonce and Kim have gotten along perfectly since the very first day that they met. They have no reason to not get along. The person who came up with this story has a very wild imagination."

This ain't no rumor, but Snoop Lion took a moment to defend the Pres while promoting his reggae album.
"I mean Bush [screwed] up for eight years. It ain't like y'all gave him a clean house," explained Snoop, all in white, from toe to tam. "Y'all gave him a house where the TV didn't work, the toilet was stuffed up – everything was wrong with the house."
Mitt Romney about to take that L.
Sad…BUT STUPID!
A dude was freaking driving drunk and tweeted "YOLO" before crashing his car, killing four others. Man. Wow.
The full report and then the tweets:
ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) — Five people were killed in a car accident in Ontario after the driver blew through a red light early Sunday morning.
According to Ontario police, a 2005 Nissan Sentra was traveling southbound on Haven Avenue, when it ran a red light. The car lost control and hit a wall along the west side of Haven Avenue, coming to rest in the rear yard of a house.
The incident happened at about 1:41 a.m. on Haven Avenue, south of Creekside Drive.
Four people inside the Nissan were pronounced dead at the scene. Another occupant was transported to an area hospital but was later pronounced dead. The identities of the crash victims were not released, pending family notification.

Minor injuries were reported when a bus carrying the Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps from Ohio struck the back of a semi truck on U.S. Interstate 80 near Shepley Road, according to state police.
The Corps' Web site said the accident occurred around 6 a.m. as the truck was leaving a service plaza on eastbound side of the highway.
"At this time, it appears that the bus driver was the only one to sustain injuries, but as a precautionary measure three volunteers were also taken to be checked out," the Web site said.

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species classified Lynx lynxbalcanicusas critically endangered species
Our attempts to emphasize the importance of the Balkan Lynx and to save this species are now in a right way this due to the positive news because IUCN Red List of Threatened Species classified as Critically Endangered species. The Balkan Lynx is a subspecies of the Eurasian lynx and it is considered as Critically Endangered. It occurs in the southwest Balkan Mountains in the border areas between Macedonia and Albania.
To prevent the extinction of the Balkan Lynx, PPNEA in collaboration with the MES (Macedonian ecological society) also with the support of MAVA Foundation, are implementing since 2006 the "Balkan Lynx Recovery Programme", which is probably the most important project that PPNEA has implemented in Albania. The aim of this program is to save the Critically Endangered Balkan lynx from extinction and to prepare the ground for a future recovery of this emblematic flagship species for nature conservation in the SW Balkans.
In addition, IUCN (International Union for Conservation of the Nature) Red List of Threatened Species it is a system that includes information on plants, fungi and animals that are facing global extinction. As we mention above, IUCN Red List classified the Balkan Lynx as Critically Endangered (CR)species with this purpose:
"According to the IUCN Red List Criteria, the Balkan Lynx is classified as Critically Endangered CR under criterion D as the number of mature individuals is estimated to be less than 50. The total size of the population is estimated to be 27-52 independent (adult and subadult) lynx, corresponding to about 20–39 mature individuals. The range is divided into two nuclei, indicating population fragmentation.One of these nuclei is in Albania in and around the region of Munella Mountain, bordering Puke and Mirdita districts.
Through the work of PPNEA a small surviving population of 4-6 individuals has been proven to exist here, which alongside the subpopulation of Mavrovo National Park in Macedonia are the only remaining nuclei of lynx in the south-west Balkans. During 1990-1995 as well as 1996-2001 Pan-European assessments based on experts from the regional countries indicated a decrease for both population size and distribution range. The latest assessments conducted by the Balkan Lynx Recovery Programme in Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro have revealed a stabilization in population size and area of occupancy since about 2008."
For us it is a great possibility that IUCN Red List of Threatened Species gave the (CR)Critically Endangered status to the Balkan Lynx because this will bring global awareness for the conservation of the populations.

I am a Grade 5 teacher at Albania College Tirana and a group of 4 students in my class are doing in depth research on endangered animals in Albania. Would someone from PPNEA be available for interview either in person or via skype to help this group further their research? Please, let me know. Part of their research will include an ACTION component where they will increase awareness and may include fund raising. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Where is your agency located? Maybe they could visit on a field trip, if you are close by.

Three years ago I signed a Telus contract, where for $62/month I got a Google Nexus S phone, and as it turns out, a few headaches as well. Over the 3 years the actual phone experience was not bad, with few dropped calls and fairly complete cellular coverage, so I would give Telus fairly good marks in this regard. Another fairly positive experience was that it was generally easy to get in contact with customer support. Unfortunately I have a reasonable large sample size to come to this conclusion.
Shortly after I started with Telus I noticed an extra $10/month on the bills. After quite a bit of phone tag it turned out I was being billed for an extra ring tone from some company in the eastern US that Telus was adding to my bill. This seemed easy to deal with - I had not purchased a ring tone so just refund me for the amount you have billed me and we're good to go. I'm sorry Mr Hill, but this is a third party so we can't do that. Say what? After more discussion and escalation of the issue Telus ended up refunding the money already paid and giving me a number to text with a STOP code. Did that. Next month same old extra $10. I went through this cycle for 13 months before Telus finally stopped billing me for something I never agreed to. That probably adds up to a day of my life I would do differently.
The plan included unlimited texting. I'm not much of a text guy, so months would go by without my making or receiving texts. As you can guess, by this time I was watching the Telus bills like a hawk. Every now and then I would get an extra billing for texts. Every time I would call customer service and they would very graciously credit my account with the billed texts to solve the problem, and every time they would promise it would not happen again. I kept getting billed for texts right through to the end of the contract 3 years later.
At the end of the contract all I can think about is I'll finally be out from under the Telus yoke. I call them up to make sure they cancel my service at the end of the plan. It turned out allowing the plan to lapse is a non-trivial event. It took me three phone calls and 90 minutes to do this simple thing. I was forced to listen to Telus offers of better plans and deals, even when I told them "JUST CANCEL THE PLAN". After that I received 4 phone calls from Telus and several emails trying to offer me better plans. I felt like a victim of corporate stalking.
In the process of switching to another provider I needed to know how to proceed so they could transfer my cell number to my new provider. A very nice young lady warned me that Telus would charge me a fee to transfer the number while it was still under my Telus plan. Once more I'm back at Telus customer service, asking how do I transfer the number without being charged a transfer fee, which is really a plan cancellation penalty in my case. The Telus lady said no problem. We are cancelling your service on May 26. Better leave it a day to be safe, so just go to your new provider on May 27 and they can claim the number. On May 27 I do this and guess what - Telus has no record of my number because the service has been terminated. Hey, I'm not surprised. I'll just get a new number, but thanks again Telus. At least with the new number I'm not getting any more calls from Telus trying to keep me as a customer.
For some reason I don't understand my Telus billing cycle is different than the contract cycle, so I have one more Telus bill coming in June. I'm guessing they will give me one more reason to call customer support...

I couldn't very well leave this out, could I?
Marcel et Janelle pose for us:
You can find them here in the shop!
I grew up just across the bay from Blackpool Tower. Maybe not generally seen as quite as romantic and now I look at it, pretty stunted-looking in comparison to the Eiffel, but all the same, it's what I was used to, so eventually coming face-to-face with this was kind of mind-blowing. IT'S MASSIVE!
...and architecturally stunning...
I'm so glad we went, and hope that one day soon, if you haven't already, you will too!

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit tired of the store bought name tags after so many years. I decided to simplify my name tags, make them smaller and just include a number line, shapes and colors. I also wanted to make them match my classroom. =) Here's what I came up with.

Andy Warhol's 200 One Dollar Bills Sells for a Lot More Than $200
Who says the art market is dead?
Think the art market is dead? Think again! Andy Warhol's silk-screen painting 200 One Dollar Bills sold for $43.8 million at Sotheby's today, more than four times its estimated selling price. The seven-and-a-half-foot-wide canvas is one of Warhol's earliest works and looks like just what you'd think — 200 one-dollar bills.

A Missouri expert is warning motorists they may encounter a slew of box turtles on roadways in the coming weeks.
Missouri's state herpetologist, Jeff Briggler, says he's concerned that the box turtles' peak seasonal movement begins soon and could collide with the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the summer vacation season.
Box turtles sometimes cross roads and busy highways during their travels and are no match for oncoming vehicles.
Briggler says the next two weeks or so will be the turtles' peak travel period. He hopes drivers will slow down when they spot a turtle crossing a highway or go around it, but he acknowledges that is not always possible on busier thoroughfares.

Pet Owner in Conroe
I am looking for a sitter tomorrow night through Monday evening. We have a super nice pit. He is 75 lbs, up to date on all shots and is 2 years old. He was a rescue so we don't want to kennel him. He needs a more family atmosphere. He is very friendly with other animals, small and large. Small dogs and cats don't like him though because he is big. He loves children but because he doesn't know his size he does need supervision with small kids.

You have seen puppies for sale called Designer Breeds. They are usually represented as a truncation of the purebreds that have made the new 'breed'. A Yorkie/Maltese is often called a Yorktese; a Schnauzer/Poodle will often be called a Schnoodle. These are not new breeds. These are mixed breeds. Mixes don't always reflect the other breeds behind them, i.e., the Yorktese is not just Yorkie and Maltese; there are other breeds in the mix somewhere. The breeder you bought your puppy from cannot possibly know who or what breeds went into the grandparents, great grandparents and so on back in the family tree of that new puppy you bought.
Mixed breeds do not breed true. A Maltipoo, a mix of Maltese and Poodle, can be anywhere from very small (5 lb) to quite large (30lb.). It depends on what is behind both parents. There may be Maltese and toy Poodle but the toy Poodle might have been a small miniature poodle that goes back to larger miniature Poodles or even standard Poodles. Again, what other breeds may also be in the background of either parent?
You likely will not get the same Maltipoo that your friend or neighbour has when you want to get a Maltipoo. It can look like either parent, everything in between or neither parent. It could reflect something further back in its parentage.
Designer breeds do not have hybrid vigour. Any of the genetic problems that can occur in any of the purebreds comprising that mix can occur in the mixed breed. Genes that carry genetic problems don't care if they have the right combination to express the disease in a purebred or a mixed breed.
An example is liver shunt, a genetic disease that can occur in Yorkies and Maltese. The disease will also potentially show up in the Yorkie Maltese mix. A Golden Doodle can still have hip dysplasia or any other genetic problems in the Golden Retriever or Poodle. A Labradoodle and Golden Doodle is a mix, not a breed. They are not always hypoallergenic. Too much Labrador or too much Golden Retriever will produce a dog that grows hair and sheds at the same time. Talk to a reputable Standard Poodle breeder and they will tell you that a Poodle also does its share of shedding.
Grooming coated mixed breeds can be more challenging than grooming a purebred because the blends of coat on a mix can mat so much more. Again, it can shed and grow coat at the same time.
Many small breed mixed breeds have severe under or overshot bites with the result that there could be additional dental problems as the puppy matures and ages.
If the preference of the buyer is a mixed breed, that certainly is up to the buyer but he should be aware of exactly what it is that he is buying.

Trivia: The First Cookbook Ever Written
The first cookbook ever was written by a Sicilian Greek named Archestratus in 350 BC. It was called Hedypatheia (Pleasant Living or Life of Luxury).

Special equipment: 11 by 17-inch baking sheet pan
To make the dough, put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon and slowly add the water until a dough begins to form. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
To make the filling, pour the olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring until they dissolve. Add the onions, salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
On a well floured work surface, roll out 1 of the disks to about 1/8-inch thick rectangle to fit the size of the sheet pan and line the pan with the dough. Spread the filling out over the dough, roll out the second disk a little larger than the sheet pan and place it over the onions. Crimp the edges, brush with olive oil and cut vent slits into the top. Transfer the pan into the top half of the oven and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool, slice and serve at room temperature.

From Pennsylvania, USA:
I recently read an article which discussed subcutaneous adipose 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 activity and messenger ribonucleic acid levels, associated with adiposity and insulinemia in Pima Indians and Caucasians. Another study from the same journal discussed low adiponectin levels in adolescents as a marker for intramyocellular lipid accumulation. Now that I spit that all out, would it be theoretically possible for this theory to substantiate a situation in which an adolescent with diabetes could be so drastically insulin resistant that there could be little reaction to higher than normal subcutaneous insulin doses but increased sensitivity to intravenous insulin administration?
I am not sure how completely I can answer your questions; but you have certainly touched on some themes that are of considerable topical interest in diabetes. To begin with, I am assuming that the subject of your enquiry was designated as type 1 diabetes on the basis of an acute insulin dependant onset that was confirmed by positive antibody tests and that the type 2 component was because of accompanying obesity. With the recent increases in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, this combination has attracted some interest. It been supposed that the insulin resistance that accompanies obesity increases the rate of the beta cells destruction caused by the autoimmunity. It is certainly possible that adiponectin, a rather abundant adipocytokine is playing a role in this situation. Expectedly the serum levels would be low and accompanied by the increased insulin resistance which has been observed. This subject has recently been rather extensively reviewed, and of course the special interest is that adiponectin has been synthesized and shown to combat both obesity and diabetes in laboratory mice. Since it also has significant anti-inflammatory properties for vascular epithelium and as a moderator of lipid metabolism, it is likely to be a promising target for clinical studies in man.
The study on Pima Indians was, I thought, less relevant, but nonetheless an explanation of the weight gain that accompanies cortisone treatment. Again the danger of over-interpreting these kinds of studies is that the fundamental defect may still be a more distant one in one or other of the various transcription factors that may be involved in the synthesis of an active principle.
I can't account for the apparent increased sensitivity to intravenous insulin and in any case would want to review the validity of that statement. One final thought is that what is important for the time being is not so much the specific molecular problem as the effective control of the blood sugar.

Click here to view an interactive map of the Northern Ireland dataset as currently collated by CEDaR.
The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This common epiphyte forms small patches of granular-scurvy thallus on smooth-barked twigs and wooden fence railings. The scattered discs are slightly glazed over, yellow to pinkish and with a distinctive yellow crumpled margin. It is not powdery (sorediate). It is widespread in Ireland, but not frequent in the south-east.

An inmate was back in custody Saturday less than 24 hours after escaping from the James A. Musick Facility in Irvine, Lt. Jeff Hallock of the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.
Max Edward Fernandez, 27, turned up missing during a security check at the facility Friday evening, according to the department.
Fernandez had been in custody for possession of stolen property and a narcotics violation.
He was located at an Oceanside fast food restaurant in northern San Diego County shortly before 2 p.m., Hallock said
An investigation was underway Saturday to determine how Fernandez was able to escape from the facility.
His previous criminal record included burglary, theft, a narcotics violation, auto theft and resisting arrest, according to officials.

We all know that humans are making a negative impact on the environment. In fact, worldwide, we lose plant and insect species at an alarming rate-something on the order of 10,000 species annually. The U.S. ranks high among nations in the loss of biodiversity; the per capita 'ecological footprint' (a measure of how much land is needed for a population's lifestyle) is almost five times the world's average-far beyond sustainable. Richard Louv, author of No Child Left in the Woods, attributes our disregard for the Earth to a decreasing number of children who play outside, build forts, or explore nature.
In 2006, the Kaiser Family Foundation concluded that "the multitasking generation" spends their time juggling TV/DVD, videogames, music, and computers. When considered separately, these activities add up to more than a 24-hour day. Childhood experiences with nature frame how we think about the natural world and how we treat people, the Earth's other species, and physical environments.
My eldest son knows that I enjoy the outdoors, yet he also knows that I am a busy adult. Working hard also equates to personal sacrifices, which means my son is exposed to a lot more television, movies, and video games than I'd prefer. How can we, as parents, help improve the environment and instill in our children a love for nature and conservation?
Teaching Children to Value Nature
My university life is centered on ways to collaborate with science teachers in order to promote responsibility for cultural diversity, biodiversity, habitats, and nature's harmony. I have recently learned how to incorporate these values into my relationship with my son by collecting data while hiking, playing outside, or bird watching. About a year ago we began doing citizen science by selecting different methods of investigating, collecting, and analyzing data on regional birds, insects, plants, and rocks.
What is Citizen Science?
Citizen scientists are predominately involved in monitoring environmental indicators and the biodiversity of species related to regional climate change, which range in scope from the micrometer to the cosmos. There are now over 200 citizen science projects available worldwide, allowing for ordinary adults and their children to collect data that supports scientific studies and local policymaking. In fact, the longest running citizen science project is more than 100 years old.
What Are Some Citizen Science Projects I Can Do With My Child?
Monarch larva and butterfly migration monitoring
Ant surveys
Worm and weed watches
Lake ice and weather monitoring
Weather reports
Municipal air and water quality
Bird surveys
Bird feeder watches
Global Reach of Projects
Beyond developing an appreciation and understanding of what scientists themselves do, citizen science projects help adults and youth investigate the social and environmental impacts of scientific practices. These programs provide an opportunity for students to become pen pals and share data internationally. For example, "Our Shared Forests" gets youth in Georgia and Ecuador to collaboratively study the impacts of coffee trees on migratory birds and insects. Through citizen science, youth begin to recognize how the choices we make in our kitchens can impact species biodiversity both locally and around the world.
Citizen Science Encourages Civic Engagement
The educational literature suggests that citizen science cultivates citizen development. This means that while youth are engaged as citizen scientists they are also being engaged as participants in the democratic process of decision-making in their local communities. This participation equates to civic responsibility later in life when children become voters. In other words, when youth are engaged in tangible opportunities to develop as citizens, they are more likely to participate in making choices about adverse environmental issues.
Our children may eventually be the only advocates for the flora and fauna that lack economic worth. With fewer agricultural and natural resources per capita on the horizon, today's kids will soon be making important choices about where to invest scarce resources. If we are diligent about finding ways to renew our children's love for nature, they will help do their part to ensure a more sustainable future.

Microlite74 Supplement 2: Wary's Grimoire Now Available
Version 1.0 of Wary's Grimoire, the second supplement for Microlite74, is now available for download. Wary's Grimoire takes some of Microlite75 and "backports" it to Microlite74 by stripping it of the house rules and extras that make Microlite75 what it is. In other words, Wary's Grimoire contains the new classes, new spells, minor rules changes (like variable damage) from the 0e supplements and adds them to Microlite74 in much more "pure" 0e form than in Microlite75. If you want to play a relatively "pure" Microlite20 version of 0e and its supplements, you want Microlite74 and Wary's Grimoire, not Microlite75.
Wary's Grimoire adds half-elves and the following classes to Microlite74: Paladin, Ranger, Monk, Illusionist, Druid, Thief and Bard. It also adds the 0e 7th-9th level Magic-User spells, the 0e 6th and 7th level Clerical spells, and the entire set (1st-7th level) of the 0e Druid and Illusionist spells. This supplement also includes variable weapon damage, monster reactions, and a rewritten monster list including monster morale and variable damage. This is a fairly major update from the playtest version published last spring as all the spells have the description clarifications from Microlite75 Version 1.01.
As with all my regular edition old school Microlite20 games, Microlite74 Supplement 2: Wary's Grimoire is free! Download your copy from Mediafire today:

Yalumba was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith, British migrant and English brewer, who had brought his family to Angaston seeking a new life. After purchasing a 30-acre parcel of land just beyond the southern-eastern boundary of Angaston, Smith and his son began planting the first vines by moonlight. Samuel named his patch "Yalumba" – aboriginal for "all the land around". Five generations and 160 years later Yalumba, Australia's oldest family owned winery, has grown in sizeand stature, embodying all that has made the Australian wine success story the envy of winemakers the world over.
The Reserve represents the finest twenty barrels of red wine from the cellars of Yalumba, and is made only in exceptional vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from South Australia's Barossa region was blended to create an extraordinarily intense wine of great richness and harmony with a structure that will reward patient cellaring. Aged in oak barrels, seasoned and coopered at Yalumba, the wine is rich in chocolate and mocha flavours.
The 2006 The Reserve was sourced from 3 individual growers' blocks from the Eden Valley and the Barossa Valley floor. Sourced from Shiraz plantings dating back to 1919 and Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1974, these individual vineyards consistently provide exceptional fruit. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon ex Eden Valley 56%, Barossa Valley 22% Shiraz ex Barossa Valley.
This wine has a dark and intense aroma with hints of mint, blackberry and spicy cedary flavours. The palate is full, rich and concentrated with a firm core of red berry currants and layers of blackcurrant paste and boysenberry.

Guest Report
Danny & Caroline from Netherlands visited in January 2007 and awarded
We stayed at Candles for almost three weeks. We just loved the place. Candles is situated on a excellent spot! Both beaches are within walking distance.
Andrew the owner of the guesthouse really wants his guests to enjoy themselves and to have the best holiday they can get.
The place has dormbeds and rooms. this mix will ensure that you'll meet various people from all around the world. Because of the shared kitchens you'll have the opportunity to meet them if you want to.
Reply To Paolo Franchetto's Comment.
Firstly, I would like to thank "Ronald" of Sweden for his response and comments also.
As the Owner of Candles in the Wind, I would like to comment briefly on what was said.
Prior to the Franchettos' visit to to Tobago I called and arrange for a Guest house in Trinidad to accommodate them on their first night of arrival.
I discounted their daily rate from US$65.00 to US$60.00 and have also replied to Paolo no fewer than five times answering various questions including answering questions as stated in the following e-mail:-

Hello Paolo, I am happy to provide the following info.
Hope that I have been of help to you.
See next to your questions.
On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 5:18 PM, Paolo Franchetto
Dear Andrew
I write to taking advantage of your kindness to ask you a few informations reguarding your island.
these are the questions:
Is it possible to rent a car?
Are there any ATM for cash?
Do I have to bring with me towels and bed sheets?
I've seen in the Meteo it is raining now, is this normal?
Is Carneval time in Tobago?
Sorry to take your time but if you can spare me some answers, I would apreceate
See you soon
Firstly, I am located in the Bon Accord Development among numerous other Villas and Guest Houses where Guests all access the nearby beaches in the Crown Point area either by foot or car ..What other way is there?.
There are very few beach front properties on the island of Tobago...no other Guests have made this an issue in the past....The nearest beach is at Swallows which is adjacent to Coco Reef Hotel and is about eight minutes by foot
At no time did PAOLO FRANCHETTO express any dissatifaction with his stay, or the lack of cleaniness of their room or the place in general, while his wife spoke no English. and was unable to communicate directly with me..I did offer a choice of rooms on both the ground and upper floor and they choose one on the ground floor with Two Double beds.
All of my rooms are cleaned every 3-4 days , linen changes , towels rotated, garbage emptied and toileteries replenished..If Mr Franchetto claimed that we never had our (his) bedroom sweeped up once or the bathroom cleaned ...and was so dissatisfied why did he not ask for a refund ,or bring it to my attention and / or leave ?
I am a retired person and it is my privilege to read the newspaper or be on the computer as often as I wish.........notwithstanding I did mention my additional services of taking these guests to Sunday School in the village of Buccoo at a cost of US$25.00 / return for the both of them including leaving them with a Cell phone to call me at their convenience. Regretfully this service was never paid for as the guests checked themselves out before 5.00am when I awoke as I usually do. ...I presumed that they were leaving on the evening of that day as they made no mention of their early departure.
On such occasions I would collect outstanding monies and be available to offer airport drop off or arrange ground transport to the Ferry Terminal for them as was done with other guests in the past..
This reply is not intender to engage in a debate with Mr Franchetto but merely to place on record the facts surrounding their stay with Candles in the wind.
Contrary to what they have said, all other guest comments report differently.
Andrew Leekit (Owner).

Officers also found a bullet hole in the back windshield, as well as a handgun in the front seat.
Police said Truss was friends with the victims.

Every American under the age of 40 should shudder at this quote from a Foxnews story–NY Dem Wins Seat in Heavily GOP District:
Hochul's victory gave a lift to Democrats still reeling from an electoral drubbing last November that cost the party control of the House. It also bolstered their resolve to push back on GOP efforts to cut Medicare and other entitlements — efforts that have drawn support among some tea party members but are widely opposed by independent voters.
"The three reasons a Democrat was elected to Congress in the district were Medicare, Medicare and Medicare," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said in an interview . . .
Hochul said she would work to balance the federal budget but refused to "decimate" Medicare . . .
Her supporters at a union hall in Amherst, outside Buffalo, chanted "Medicare! Medicare!"
Folks, this may make for good politics, but it is an economic impossibility. This chart from the Heritage Foundation shows that all revenue post-2049 will be consumed by entitlements. From the chart caption:
If the average historical level of tax revenue is extended, spending on Medicare, Medicaid and the Obamacare subsidy program, and Social Security will consume all revenues by 2049. Because entitlement spending is funded on autopilot, no revenue will be left to pay for other government spending, including constitutional functions such as defense.
If this election becomes a national trend, then folks under the age 40 may be staring a form of indentured servitude right in the face–lets call it "entitlement slavery" . . . brought to you by the ballot box because there are simply more voters over 40 (who also have a higher voter turnout rate) than those under 40.

Actress Claire Danes saw a therapist as a youngster after she was plagued by "demonic" visions at night.
The "Homeland" star reveals her "active imagination" often got the better of her before sleep and at six years old, she claimed to see ghosts, gargoyles and demons.
Her parents enrolled her in therapy sessions to deal with her fears, and Danes admits her visions were a little unusual.
She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "It was a little wobble. I've always had a really active imagination. Lots of kids have imaginary friends. Mine just took on a rather demonic form."

Sometimes, most times, I do things the hard way because it is the hard way, and I take satisfaction in doing it the hard way. It's not an accident, adversity builds emotional and mental resilience. Ego built on accomplishment rather than ownership. This explains why someone with a world class marathon time, decides to swim and bike an equally absurd distance. Our bodies, minds and spirits crave resistance, challenge and testing as well as appeal of the underdog and the come from behind win. We live in a world where our results are most often far divorced from our real efforts. So when any opportunity presents itself, where we can take up a challenge, something that forces us to push harder. When we are successful we appreciate it at a cellular level. Look at the explosion of adventure/obstacle races. This applies to all your comfort zones, I remember my first major car repair, not a priority in my house growing up. I looked like Tom Hank's building his first fire is Castaway, both in my frustrated efforts and eventual celebration.
Think about the reverse, when someone lets us win we suffer cheap victory and it feels far more infuriating and saddening than any loss where our full effort falls short. It's so sour because simply put, that's how lies taste. I would rather strike out against a major league fast ball than get a home run off of a sympathy pitch. Leave me bloody and beaten, or let me know you really need to go easy on me, either way I will still give my best, but never, never lie to me?
My wife hates that I play my son full tilt at chess. Now I'm no Kasperov, but I give him pointers and the occasional "are you sure that's what you want to do", but never thought about rolling over. Now at age eight, he often gets the old man on the ropes, the occasional "check" but no "mate", yet. The day he does win, he and I will be equally proud…and then I will figure out how to up my game.
