On February 22, 2010, the Staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will hold a workshop on the procedures and process for holding and commenting on an open season for an Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Project. The Workshop is being held at the Commission's headquarters in Washington and has been rescheduled from the previous date of February 11, 2010 due to the weather emergency closure of the Commission's offices.
In 2005, in the above-referenced docket, FERC enacted regulations under the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act which established the procedures for conducting open seasons for the purpose of making binding commitments for the acquisition of capacity on Alaska natural gas transportation projects. TransCanada Alaska Company LLC (TC Alaska) has recently filed its request for approval of its Open Season plan for its Alaska Pipeline Project in Docket No. PF09-11-001. Denali—The Alaska Gas Pipeline LLC has publicly stated that it intends to hold an open season for its project in 2010.
Under FERC's open season regulations, prior to conducting an open season for an Alaskan natural gas transportation project, each project sponsor is required to submit a detailed open season plan to FERC. After receiving the project sponsor's open season plan, FERC will issue a notice requesting public comments on the open season plan and explain the procedure for submitting such comments. Absent unusual circumstances, FERC will act on the open season plan within 60 days of its submission by the project sponsor.
Both of these project sponsors have initiated FERC's pre-filing process, which is typically focused on FERC's environmental review of a project. However in this instance, the pre-filing process also includes FERC's review, approval, and oversight of the project sponsors' open season. FERC Staff is holding this Open Season Pre-Filing Workshop to provide interested parties an opportunity to learn about and discuss the procedures and process for commenting upon and holding an open season.
The workshop will be held on February 22, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (EST) at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 1st Street, NE.—Room 3M-2 A&B, Washington, DC 20426.
All interested parties may attend. The agenda for the Open Season Pre-Filing Workshop is attached. There will be no discussion of TC Alaska's filing in Docket No. PF09-11-001, or any other aspect of the proposed Alaska pipeline projects. Rather, the Workshop will focus on the requirements of the Commission's regulations and procedures and process for commenting upon and holding an open season. In order to ensure that questions could be appropriately answered, it was previously requested that interested parties provide any questions in advance to Commission Staff and these questions have been added to the Agenda without attribution. Any further new questions or follow-up questions will also be entertained at the Workshop.
The Workshop will not be transcribed by the FERC Staff. Telephone participation will be available; by calling:
Conference number: (888) 566-6129
Participant passcode: 43634
For security reasons, the passcode will be required to join the call. Restrictions may exist when accessing freephone/toll free numbers using a mobile telephone.
For additional information concerning this event, please contact Richard Foley at (202) 502-8955 or Mary O'Driscoll at (202) 502-8680.Start Signature

This afternoon included looking at new office space for the churches, the space we looked at is owned by a Catholic Church. In the course of the afternoon I was absolved from my sins.
Yes you real that right, Absolution people…for my sins. From a Catholic priest. Cause I went to a Jesuit university.
Absolved. For my sins.
This. Is. Awesome.

I had a similar problem in October 09 -- but I had been using and still use Webroot software. Somehow the virus got buy it. I went round and round with Dell to the tune of $176 and 20hours on the phone over several days. With Dell taking control of my machine. Trouble with Dell is each time you talk with a techie, he starts from the beginning. Seems they work from home in India so they are not in the same room. So they do not have the same answers to your problem.
The first guy I talked with had programs he put on my computer that trapped the virus. He also had programs to reinstall my XP with service pack II. He was really great. They always say "I will call you back at this time tomorrow". But it was a different guy that called back. And the next guy didn't have those programs and had to go to Microsoft for the fix which didn't work. I never did get XP back on my computer. So beware of Dell. (I have since learned that you can ask the Dell Support for someone in America).
I would say your problem is not with Webroot. That said, if they have a policy to get your $$ back within a short time, you may want to give that a try.
Dell asked me to purchase Norton 360 from them for $100. But I refused, knowing I could get it cheaper elsewhere. Also, I have heard horror stories about Norton.
I ended up giving up because I was so frustrated and upset; so I bought a new HP computer -- with Windows 7 which created a whole set of new problems trying to get my programs to work on in.
Still wonder if I can take my Dell to a techie here in Los Angeles and get some of my stuff off of it. My bad for not backing it all up. At least my photos were backed up.
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 Pentium 4 desk top with Windows XP. I was getting a few pop-ups so I baught Webroot Internet Security Essentials. I installed it, did a sweep and when I restarted the system I had more problems so I did another sweep and had even more problems. Called Webroot, sat on hold for over an hour and while I was waiting I foolishly did another sweep and now my system won't even start in save mode. Now if I tap F8 as I turn it on it just logs me in and logs me out back to the admin page. Webroot told me I now need to take my system to a tech so they can get it started. Does anyone know how I can get logged in or past this problem? Webroot is nice enough to offer me a clean up for another $99.00 (They are so nice) if I can get into the system and on the net.

Winter Blast 2016 is in the books!
One of the things we love about races is the stories our runners carry with them. Mlive.com featured an inspiring story about longtime Winter Blast runner and Grandville resident Harold Plaisier, who at age 82, was the elder statesman of our race! If you haven't read his story yet, you'll want to do so. It's worth your time.

The Winter Blast is known as a race "for runners put on by runners" and benefits the athletic boosters and the cross country teams I coach at Calvin Christian High School in Grandville, MI. My passion for running is one many of you have as well so watch our blog for posts on what has worked well for my team and myself over the years -- topics such as winter running tips, core & active warm-up, benefits of physical therapy as a preventative measure, diet, workouts, goal setting, and more.

Below are some examples of wide range of projects we have worked on.
A major raw material company asked us to examine the industrial inkjet space with a view to identifying market opportunities and potential acquisition companies. We conducted the research, including extensive telephone and face-to-face interviews, and made recommendations in a custom study. The study contained quantitative market sizes and forecasts, and a target list of companies based on the agreed criteria. Our client is in the process of making an acquisition.
A leading private equity firm commissioned us to evaluate the commercial and technology potential of a European inkjet ink supplier. This involved site visits, primary research and a complete strategic assessment. Following the completion of our report, the sale was concluded of the inkjet ink supplier.
A global investment company needed technical due diligence and market advisory work on an investment in the security printing industry. They chose us as we were able to offer the right mix of technical and market knowledge in such a secretive and difficult-to-research industry. The investment company made the acquisition following the delivery of our study.
We provided a market advisory service to a major private equity firm with a controlling stake in a leading raw material, inks and coatings supplier. The service included a full, global evaluation of the market, with segmentation by process, end-use and geography, and five-year forecasts. The final report was used to help evaluate the supplier in preparation for its sale.
A global brand owner commissioned us to forecast consumer trends and attitudes towards a range packaging substrates and products. We conducted a full primary research program, and delivered quantitative data and a report with actionable recommendations. The final report used a blend of technology insight, market data on global packaging trends, and consumer perceptions. Our client used this data as justification for switching from metal cans to plastic bottles and pouches, and has seen sales grow as a result.
A leading packaging converter was developing its strategy for the personal care and cosmetics industry, and needed to understand the profitability of different packaging products by end-use (e.g. sun care, skin care, make up etc.). We undertook the research which included utilising our global network of personal care and packaging experts. A key deliverable was a matrix of 20+ packaging products in 10 end-use markets, with market size, profitability, growth rates etc. In addition, we provided actionable recommendations based on our analysis of the data in both report and PowerPoint format. Our client used this information to develop its R&D funnel for new product development.
A major Japanese film producer needed to understand the competitive landscape for transparent barrier films, with particular focus on opportunities for high-barrier and active packaging technologies. We carried out a custom study incorporating in-depth face-to-face interviews with suppliers and packaging converters, supplemented with telephone interviews across the value chain. The final report provided a comprehensive overview of the markets and identified a number of specific opportunities. Our client is now in discussions with potential partners in Europe and North America.
One of the biggest suppliers of paper-based packaging commissioned us to undertake a study on the European market for food service packaging market. The study required extensive detail on the cup stock market, which was achieved through primary research with suppliers, converters and end-users. The final report contained actionable recommendations for growth in this sector.
Further case studies can be provided on request. Contact us now.

Wildlife Travel
Support the Trust and take a holiday!
Would you like to raise money for the Trust whilst enjoying the spring flowers of Cyprus or Crete, birdwatching from your houseboat in the Romanian Danube Delta or enjoying a 'trip of a lifetime' in the Galapagos Islands? Wildlife Travel was set up in 1988 with the aim of supporting nature conservation by organising wildlife holidays in the UK, Europe and worldwide. Their profits are donated to The Wildlife Trusts and they also work with local conservation organisations in the countries they visit.
Wildlife Travel will make a donation to our Trust if you mention us on booking with them. The amount of donation depends on the profits available but if you have not travelled with them before the donation would be at least £50 per person.

Around Lucknow
Around Lucknow :
With little over 10 sq Km in area, lying on the banks of the river Ghagra or Saryu, this ancient city is believed to be the birth place of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The holy book of Hindus- the Ramayana- says, the city was founded by Manu. Later, it became the capital of the descendants of the Surya dynasty. Lord Rama was the most celebrated King of this dynasty. Known as 'Kosaldesa' in ancient times, the place has been
described as "a city built by gods and being as prosperous as paradise itself", in the Atharvaveda.From the time immemorial, this place has been noted for the performance of various rituals and Yajnas, including 'Asvamedha Yajna'. From the epic and puranic ages, Ayodhya rose to prominence again in the 6th century B.C,the times of Buddha. Situated just about 10 Km from the district headquarters of Faizabad, Ayodhya is a city of temples of several religions. Various faiths have grown and prospered simultaneously and that also in different periods of time in the history. Jain traditions, for example, consider that five Tirthankaras were born at Ayodhya including Rishabhadeva, the first Tirthankar. Don't miss the remnants of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Jainism, that can still be found in Ayodhya.
Chappiya :
Chhapaiya is a village in Gonda District in the state of Uttar Pradesh about 50 km from district headquarter Gonda and 40 kilometers from the major city of Ayodhya. Its singular claim to fame is as the birthplace of God Swaminarayan. Swaminarayan (1781 - 1830 CE) was incarnated here on 2 April 1781 as Ghanshyam, making this village a pilgrim place for his followers world wide. Akshardham temples in Ahmedabad & Delhi (New Delhi) are dedicated to Swaminarayan. Gujratis are the main followers of this sect and regard Chappiya as a very sacred place to visit.
There are legends associated with places like Birth Place, Gangajal well, Narayan Sarovar, Dharmadev Bhaktimata Oata, Kalidatt Oata, Three cornered filed, Min Sarovar, Bhutio (ghost) well, jira bhari Talao. Jambu tree, Moksh pipal, Khapa Jalavdi, Kalyan sagar, Gay ghat, Shravan talavdi, Makhoda ghat, Ram sagar etc. It is the sacred wish of the followers of the sect to visit these places once in life time.
Nawabganj Birds' Sanctuary :
One of the major wildlife sanctuaries attractions of Uttar Pradesh, Nawabganj Birds Sanctuary is a great weekend trip from Kanpur. The small sanctuary, spread in an area of 3 sq km, attracts hundreds of migratory birds species during winters. The sanctuary is mainly the area around a shallow lake The lake forms a perfect place for the migratory and water birds for a long stay. As a part of conservation of lake and its surroundings, Government of Uttar Pradesh declared the area as a sanctuary in 1984.
The picturesque sanctuary is an ideal for photographers and picnic lovers. To enhance the knowledge of visitors regarding birds, an Interpretation Centre is established in the Sanctuary. It has the provision of film shows related to wildlife. A motel, restaraunt and small eateries around the sanctuary makes it an ideal location for a great weekend trip.
Kanpur Bithur :
Kanpur (90 km from Lucknow) was established as a trade center on the banks of the river Ganges by the early British settlers. Even today it is purely a commercial and industrial city. Kanpur is said to have been the center of the most tragic events of the Mutiny of 1857. Today the All Souls Garrison Church that stands on the site that was the Wheelers entrenchment bears testimony to some of the most horrific events of that time. Sati Chaura Ghat is also called the Massacre Ghats (river bank) is situated on the banks of the Ganges.
Bithur is situated on the banks of the Ganges 24km upstream from Kanpur and about 114 km from Lucknow. According to Hindu mythology Bithur was known as Brahmateerth and Rishi Valmiki is supposed to have composed the Ramayana here. Life on earth is said to have begun from here by Lord Brahma. This is also the site where the Sepoys followed by the British crossed over the Ganges on their way to Lucknow in 1857. Places of interest here are the Brahmavarta Ghat, the temples of Luv-Kush Dhruv Tila and the Valmiki Ashram.
Washer Men :
This is not an ordinary dhobi ghat but with a difference as most of the clothes are chikan embroidered. Chikan is the embroidery work of Lucknow and is famous world over. The washermen collect these colourful chikan garments and dress materials from the manufacturers in the morning and wash them on the banks of river. As these chikan garments get dirty when going under the master crafts women for quite a long time (as it takes a fortnight or so to complete the work depending on the design),
these garments and dress materials are sent for a last wash, starching and ironing before being delivered to emporia. Each moment looks very beautiful – the sound of beating clothes on the boulders, sprinkling of water in the air, colourful garments being hung on the strings to dry in the Sun. The entire bank looks so colourful that the scene will leave you spellbound. Moreover, the local folk songs sung by the washer men add the beauty of the scene. We arrange chilled lassi or thandai served in earthen cups called kulhar along with charpoys (jute cots) to sit. You may talk to the washer men and know about their community or just roam around the ghats and appreciate the beauty of the infinite chikan embroidered garments on the ghat. Though the washermen stay at one end of the river but by beating and washing the clothes they try to making both their ends meet somehow. Through this programme we salute their hard work.

Home / The Country House Hotel by the Sea / Grounds
The hotel is set in 50 beautiful acres overlooking its private beach. Lawns lead on to open meadow and parkland with a strip of wonderful woodland growing down the coastal slope.
The extensive grounds are a magical haven for wildlife and fauna, including rare birds of prey, owls, red squirrels, dragonflies and butterflies.
The lawns and terraced gardens were designed by the famous doyenne of landscape design, Gertrude Jekyll. Queen Victoria is reputed to have sat beneath the magnificent magnolias at "Mr Grose's little cottage"!
The amazing diversity of this small estate makes it ideal for families: children can wander safely and freely within the grounds while couples, wishing to escape the hectic metropolis, can enjoy romantic coastal and woodland walks.

American Red Cross says donating blood can help save lives
The American Red Cross issued an emergency call for blood donations.
The non-profit said winter storms across the country forced it to cancel more than 200 blood drives at the end of March. Now it's in desperate need of type o-negative and a-b blood.
On May 1st, NTV will host its annual blood drive.
A representative from the American Red Cross says the amount of people that donate blood really makes a difference in the community.
"We have done pretty well with our blood drives. In over 14 years, we have collected 1,892 pints of blood. And if each of those pints can help up to three people, that's a lot of life saving going on in this drive," said Samantha Pollard.
Pollard also said those wishing to donate blood should be feeling their best the day of the drive.

John Hiatt Til I Get My Lovin' Back
In the midst of a North American tour, I do not see any shows yet booked for Montreal. He was in Rochester, NY in September, and Toronto in October. But nothing closer. Perhaps Billy Bob Productions will bring the great Hiatt back to Montreal.
Something surprising on his very own website. I clicked play on the video on the main page and the following message appears "This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it from display on this website." And look like the same thing is happening here...
From John Hiatt's terrifc album Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns, here is Til I Get My Lovin' Back.
5 comments:
Love John Hiatt. Been following him for years. Must have almost all his CDs. Did you know he's currently performing on a cruise with the likes of Lyle Lovett and Lucinda Williams? I'd love to see the guy live.ReplyDeleteReplies
Duf, I discovered Hiatt in '88 with Slow Turning. I have ten or 11 of his albums. Saw him perform once in Montreal. Great show.Delete
But Hiatt, Lovett & Williams? Wow! That would be something to see.
Here's the link to the line up. http://www.cayamo.com/Artists/View/Id/69 The cruise is sold out. But there's always next year.Delete
Sorry, it's not only sold out. That ship has sailed. Feb 5-12.Delete
Ha! That ship has sailed.Delete
Just double checked, I saw him in 1997 when he was touring in support of the Little Head album. He played at the Spectrum in Montreal, Sherri Jackson was the opening act. She is terrific too. She's got a pop, blues, funk sound.

A New Account and Sales Tax (fun stuff here)
After my meeting, I'm feeling a little bit better about all the mumbo jumbo tax and legal stuff I've been reading and trying to comprehend. To start things off, on Friday morning I opened a checking account just for the business (Pat graciously provided me with the initial investment money.) Next, will be linking my Etsy PayPal account to the new account.
I still need to figure out sales tax on purchases. I know that PayPal has a setting for that, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what amount of sales tax to charge. The state's is 4%, the county's is 3%, and my location (outside city limits) is 1%. I know all this adds up to 8%, but I don't have to charge the 3% to anyone outside this county . . . etc, etc, etc. That may be a task for another day. I'm boring you, I know. It bores me too, but this is the kind of stuff I'm struggling with before I can really start selling my creations.
I'm not even sure where to look to find the answers to these questions. Anybody else know?
1 comment:
Good Morning! The basics of sales taxes is that they are based on where the point of sale took place. If locals are buying from you & they pick it up, the sales taxes are based on where you are. If you are shipping, the sales taxes are based on where they are.ReplyDelete
PayPal should help with calculating the taxes when shipping, however, I'm not sure if PayPal actually pays the taxes they collect for your sales. I've never done shipping, so I'm not sure about how that works. I will ask around to see if I can find that out. You may be able to find it in the FAQ section on PayPal.
Have you applied for your tax ID yet? It's a fairly simple process and they will send you a bunch of coupons for filing the taxes. It's easier to do it online, so I recommend setting that up when your information comes in. :)
Let me know if you have any questions. My e-mail address is on my website. I hope this helps, at least a little. :)

LAFAYETTE — City-parish government this month will consider annexing more than 100 acres into Lafayette in a continuing effort to extend the city's boundaries after years of limited expansion.
The City-Parish Council on Tuesday is scheduled to begin consideration of five different annexations totaling 128 acres and then vote on the annexations later this month.
That is on top of 109 acres that the council has already brought into the city, according to figures from the City-Parish Department of Planning, Zoning and Codes.
The annexation push began last year, when the city annexed more than 1,400 acres.
The bulk of the 2010 annexations were for city-owned property that was outside the city limits and 735 acres at the Lafayette Regional Airport.
But the city last year also annexed about 220 acres along the new stretch of Ambassador Caffery Parkway in south Lafayette, sparking an ongoing legal battle with neighbor Broussard, which wanted some of the land Lafayette had annexed.
The recent annexation activity stands in stark contrast to prior years.
There were no annexations in 2008, and the city brought in 11 acres in 2009, according to figures from city-parish government.
Most of the annexations this year have been driven by businesses or residents seeking city amenities, such as curbside recycling, city utilities and access to the city's fiber-optic Internet, telephone and television service, said Frank Thibeaux, the annexation coordinator in the Planning, Zoning and Codes Department.
"I think there is continued interest in getting municipal services," Thibeaux said.
City-Parish President Joey Durel has also taken a more active role in annexation issues during the past year, and city-parish government has been doing public outreach to gauge interest in annexation and to make the case for why residents might want to make the switch from country to city.
City residents pay more in property taxes, but Thibeaux said that home insurance rates are generally lower because of the city's fire and police protection and utilities are often less expensive.
"With the savings they get from other services, it's basically a wash in many cases," Thibeaux said.
City-Parish Council Chairman Kenneth Boudreaux said annexations are a critical part of Lafayette's future growth, especially considering that some smaller municipalities in the parish have been aggressive in expanding toward their larger neighbor.
"Land is the one thing you can't get any more of," Boudreaux said.
Boudreaux also said that the city already provides fire and police protection to some pockets of unincorporated areas and that those residents should be urged to come into the city limits to pay the property taxes that support the police and fire departments.
The annexations that the council will consider this month are a mix of commercial and residential properties, with the largest tract being about 85-acres in south Lafayette off of La Neuville Road.
The area includes the Walker's Lake subdivision, about half of which is already within the city.
Councilman William Theriot, who represents the area, said the remaining residents have differing opinions on the annexation.
If more than 50 percent of the residents in the area sign a petition to be annexed, the council could approve the annexation despite the protests of the other residents.
"That's a decision the subdivision has to make," Theriot said.

Zinedine Zidane 'knows nothing' of Real Madrid pursuit of Kepa Arrizabalaga
Real Madrid remain tight-lipped over ongoing reports linking Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with a move to the Bernabeu during the January transfer window.
Marca claims that the 20-year-old underwent tests at Sanitas La Moraleja hospital in Madrid on Thursday with a view to completing his transfer to Madrid.
Kepa has been heavily linked with a move to Los Blancos for months and the Spain international is yet to sign a contract extension with Athletic, with his current deal ending in June 2018.
"I cannot confirm this [Kepa passing a medical with Real], I know nothing about it," Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said following his team's 3-0 victory at Numancia in the Copa del Rey round-of-16 first leg on Thursday.
Real Madrid director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno added: "We don't speak about players who are not ours."
Kepa missed Athletic's last two games of 2017 with a minor right foot injury but was present at the club's training ground in Lezama on Thursday morning.
"Kepa is injured and did not train with the team but continued his recovery process in Lezama on Thursday," an Ahtletic Bilbao source told ESPN FC. "He wasn't there for the whole day and we don't know what he did in his spare time."
Athletic are unwilling to sell the player and according to Marca, Real will have to pay Kepa's €20 million release clause to acquire his services.
Athletic left-back Enric Saborit says constant reports linking Kepa with a move away from Bilbao are not affecting the team.
"In the changing room there is no issue regarding Kepa, but rather regarding the team," Saborit told a news conference. "We are not being affected whatsoever by this. Everything is good."
Athletic are 12th in La Liga and host Alaves on Sunday.
Adriana Garcia is a Valencia-based football writer who covers La Liga for ESPN FC.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
This Charming Cabin (located 12 miles north of Traverse City and 30 miles east of Sleeping Bear Sand dunes) offers plenty of room for two families to vacation together or is cozy for one family to enjoy as well. Swimming/boating in the all sports lake, building campfires and singing songs, grilling and enjoying a great meal on the large deck are just a small fraction of things to enjoy on your vacation. Let the children explore the 3 1/2 acre property while you relax in the hot tub. Cooking is a dream in the large kitchen.
Curl up with a good book by the gas/stone fireplace or play one of the many card or board games offered in the cabin. Have your first cup of coffee in the gazebo and watch the sun rise. Bring your bikes and ride the Leelanau Trail to Suttons Bay or Traverse city. You will build lasting memories with your friends and family at our cabin on the lake.
Keywords: Cabin, waterfront, fireplace, famiy get away
Our family operated the resort that this cabin is a part of since 1976. The other cabins were sold to seperate owners in 2001. Dad operates this cabin with the help of his adult children and their families.
We did not need to take a vacation because we were living at the best vacation spot in the world. Our family memories of growing up on the lake, playing in the water, singing songs around the campfire and watersking are special times we hope to pass on to other families.
One of our many favorite things to do at our cabin is sit in the hot tub after a dip in the lake and watch the sun set. Going on little adventures to the sand dunes, Lake Michigan or canoeing down local rivers are treasured memories to our families.
During our stay there was construction and our outdoor space was unusable. We had to leave all day to get away from machine noise. The owner gave us no warning so we could book elsewhere.
Another great stay at this lovely cabin. It's close to the bicycle trails, lake front and not far from town. The sunsets are spectacular!
The stay was great! Wish we had better weather to enjoy a fire but other then that was fun!
We chose this place due the setting with serene lake, bonfire and hot tub. It comfortably slept 8, and can sleep up to 10. We were surprised how big the home actually is. Perfect for our ladies weekend! Shelly was so easy to work with, very responsive. A pleasant experience all around.
Our group stayed the weekend of October 12-15th for a low key bachelorette party. Plenty of room to sleep for our 6 girls!
The hot tub was amazing!
I would only caution on a couple of things which did not get in the way of our stay as we are not picky...
1. Bring bottled water and gallons of water. We had bottles only which worked fine but the sulfur in the water is pretty intense.
2. The oven would not fully heat up for us so we were creative with our cooking strategies.
3. The coffee maker was a bit slow so I would start brewing your coffee about 30 or more minutes before you want to drink it. Or go north on Lake Leelanau Rd to 204 and get fresh brewed. It's only a few minutes away.
4. The fridge seal seems like it doesn't shut but it does... just keep your food to the front as the food we had in the far back got pretty frosty.
As I said- these things did not interfere with the great fun had this weekend. Would definitely recommend.
Enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub! Large, open living and dining area, with main bath near bedrooms (each with door for privacy).
Kitchen well stocked with large toaster, coffee pot, stove, kitchen towels, and dishes.
The resort was safe and well lighted-probably would have liked a little more light blockage for bedroom windows.
Very nice stay!
Approximately 13 miles north of downtown Traverse City, about a 20 minute drive.

In Episode #7, we discuss how your boss can be liable to you for creating a hostile work environment based on age. The main example we cover is Elizabeth Parks v. Lebhar-Friedman, Inc., 2008 WL 4449345 (SDNY) (Oct. 2, 2008). Parks' worked for her employer, Drug Store News, for 26 years. Even after that much time with nothing but good reviews, Parks felt like her boss was trying to make life miserable for her and push her out. Her boss concocted excuses to "write her up" and criticize her work for vague reasons that no one could understand, much less act upon. Parks' boss, however, wasn't planning on Parks pushing back. To learn how she did it, and how she got some smoking gun evidence against her boss and other executives at her company, just listen to the show.

Lady Gaga played a surprise show at an intimate venue in London on Tuesday (09Jun15) just hours after her performing partner Tony Bennett called off their gig at the city's Royal Albert Hall that night.
The pair had been due to perform at the famous London venue, but the show was axed after Bennett fell ill with flu. Gaga decided not to let her time in the British capital go to waste, so she headed to Soho jazz bar Ronnie Scott's and performed as a surprise addition to the night's bill.
Video footage posted online shows Gaga singing jazz songs at the small venue.
After the show, Gaga stepped left the club to find her Rolls-Royce, which had been sitting outside Ronnie Scott's during her performance, had been slapped with a parking ticket.

Diversified Recycling, based in Homewood, Illinois, plans to upgrade its traditional paper screens with four new Non-Wrapping 440 screens from Van Dyk Recycling Solutions (VDRS), Stamford, Connecticut. The 440 screen is Van Dyk's latest offering designed to drastically reduce film wrapping in star screens, the company says.
Two percent of Diversified's stream is plastic film. According to VDRS, even with a presort station that removes film, a significant amount of wrapping occurs around the screens. The wrapping prevents the screens from sorting properly. Materials are unable to fall through and wind up conveyed over the screen.
VDRS says the Non-Wrapping 440 screen maintains its screening performance throughout an entire shift, reducing containers in the overs by up to 80 percent and resulting in higher quality paper and container streams heading to the commingled line.
Diversified says it hopes the new 440 screens will help it to cut down on maintenance and cleaning efforts. Other installations with the 440 screens have reported cleaning and maintenance times per shift reduced from over an hour to 10 minutes per shift, VDRS claims.
The company also is replacing its commingled screens with two of VDRS's elliptical separators. With fewer wearable parts, the elliptical is expected to bring down the costs associated with replacement parts. At 3.3 meters (nearly 11 feet) wide, the elliptical screens will be the widest ever installed in the U.S., VDRS says.
More information on the installation is available by contacting VDRS at 203-967-1100 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Election Results Example of Co-Operative Values in Action
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 2, 2014) - Vancity is pleased to announce Anita Braha, Lily Grewal and Theodora Lamb have been elected to its board of directors, each for a three-year term.
"Democratic member control is an essential part of being a co-operative, and we thank the 16 members who made the commitment to run in our board of directors election this year," says Greg McDade, chair of the nominations and election committee. "We also want to thank all our members who participated in the process and made sure their voice was heard."

Top Cubs Prospect Eloy Jimenez Has a Bone Bruise in His Shoulder
Last week, top Chicago Cubs prospect Eloy Jimenez uncorked a wild throw in the outfield, and then didn't play thereafter. Nervousness was warranted. This weekend, he had tests done on his throwing shoulder to determine whether there was a serious injury lurking in there.
All things considered, the news is good:
#Cubs GM Jed Hoyer says tests on Eloy Jimenez showed a bone bruise but no structural damage with top prospect's right shoulder.
— Patrick Mooney (@CSNMooney) March 20, 2017
#Cubs Jimenez has bone bruise in right shoulder. Will rest 3 weeks.
— Carrie Muskat (@CarrieMuskat) March 20, 2017
Shoulder structurally fine. No word on where he starts season, but extended spring likely.
— Mark Gonzales (@MDGonzales) March 20, 2017
It's not entirely clear how the injury happened – was it the throw, itself? or was that simply the moment that the bone bruise reared its head in a way that Jimenez could no longer ignore? GM Jed Hoyer suggested it was probably the latter – but a bone bruise is infinitely better than a structural problem with the shoulder, even for a positional player.
Jimenez, 20, will now rest for three weeks, which will cut into his regular season no matter how quickly he returns. Playing it safe is generally the Cubs' approach in these matters, so you can expect that Jimenez will stick around Arizona even after he begins baseball activities again. He will eventually play in Extended Spring Training games with other young Cubs prospects, before most likely being assigned to High-A Myrtle Beach. Hopefully he doesn't miss too much time, but, again, having to sit out three weeks or a month right now is much better than having to miss half a season or more following surgery.
As far as Cubs-related implications here, there aren't too many. Jimenez was not a threat to make the big league team at this point, or even later this year. Further, given his standing in the organization, he's not a clear trade candidate right now, either.

You Don't Have To Be Retired To Enjoy Walking
Walking at least 30 minutes most days has been linked to all sorts of health benefits, but I've also noticed other advantages to making this regular practice a priority in my life:
It's meditative. Are you one of those people (like I am!) who understands the benefits of meditation but has a hard time incorporating it into your daily activities? Try taking a quiet walk to have a meditative experience that also gives you other benefits. It's win-win. This applies more to solo walks, which can be a nice change from walking with a partner. The key is to clear your mind by dismissing thoughts that emerge (without judgement) and focus on noticing your surroundings, your breathing, or possibly a mantra. Check out this site for a beautiful guide to walking meditation written by Thich Nhat Hanh.
It connects you with your community. I love walking in my neighborhood and noticing the diversity of homes and front yard landscapes. It's a fun practice to walk a different route or take a different street each time so that you have the opportunity to notice new things each time. When we do these types of walks, we also make an effort to smile and wave at other walkers and neighbors. I also enjoy the exposure to nature when we walk on trails or in mountains and canyons.
It's a good foundation for an exercise program. Walking is a great first step in an exercise regimen for those who have not been previously exercising, who are overweight, etc., but it is also beneficial for more athletic people. It promotes recovery and natural movement patterns (especially when walking on uneven surfaces such as trails) with very little negative effect on other training performed during the week. Low intensity walking can help to promote fat burning when combined with other intense activities such as strength training in already trained individuals.
I started walking as much as I could tolerate the day after I came home from the hospital. While I admit that a big component of this was an impressive amount of diuresis, I had lost all of my pregnancy weight (50 lbs!) by 2-3 weeks postpartum with walking as my only form of exercise. However, the lasting effect is that I have managed to maintain that weight loss and even begin some good body recomposition postpartum with continued long walks and a minimal kettlebell lifting program. And walking is a way to move that doesn't add stress to my (already stressed and sleep deprived) system.
It facilitates brainstorming/creativity. When we walk together, my husband and I have the best and most productive conversations. We talk about home improvement projects, finances, trips we want to take, philosophies on parenting... I could go on. I always come up with great ideas, including subjects to write about on this blog, during our walking sessions.
What about you? Do you walk regularly? Share the benefits you've encountered here!

Ductless Mini Split Repair Install Johnson City TN
You've just added an addition to your home or you have converted your attic or basement into living space. You need to heat and cool it. Or you have a room that is a little too cool or too hot and there is no duct work in the room. If your room has a ceiling or a wall, why not install a ductless mini split unit?!
Instead of losing a window and a view to a bulky window air conditioner, a ductless system is installed high on a wall or even in the ceiling where it is less noticeable.
The ductless system consists of a compact indoor wall unit, tubing, and wiring connections that goes through a small hole in the wall to a small outdoor unit, and is very energy-efficient. Some units even get up to 23 SEER and 10 HSPF!
U.S. Department of Energy
According to a March 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Study, ductless mini-split heat pumps offer several advantages over conventional ducted heating and cooling systems. They may save energy, eliminate the potential for in-duct mold growth, eliminate the space consumed for duct runs, and are easy to install in retrofits, as they do not need ducts.
A ductless system can save you
energy because with an average
HVAC system, you loose up to 30%
energy leakage in the ductwork. It's
also zonal which means, you are heating
or cooling only areas where you need it.
What if I already have ductwork in the room?
If you already have ductwork in the room you're considering installing a ductless split system, you'll first want to consider having your ductwork looked at. Why add on the cost of more equipment if all that really needs to happen is for your ductwork to have some repairs. It's actually not a complicated process to have your ductwork cleaned and repaired. Call a Leinbach Services technician to come take a look at your ductwork first, then we can talk about the benefits of installing a mini-split system, if it's in your home's best interest.

The 164th Infantry Regiment World War II Memorial Rededicated on Flag Day
American Legion Post 2 performed a rededication ceremony for the 164th Infantry Regiment World War II Memorial on Flag Day at Lindenwood Park. Post 2 Commander, Christopher Hanson of Fargo officiated over the ceremony. The event featured remarks by Dave Piepkorn (Fargo City Commissioner), Sylvan Melroe (Memorial Relocation Lead), Joel Vettel (Fargo Parks Director), and Vern Fetch (President of the 164th Infantry Association). Speeches were followed by a rededication of the monument and honors to all 164th Infantry Soldiers who have passed over the years.
The 164th Infantry Monument was originally erected on the northeast corner of 3rd Avenue and 5th Street in Fargo on a plot provided by Gilbert C. Grafton American Legion Post 2, in front of their building in downtown Fargo. The granite monument recognized 216 men who were called to active duty in 1941. The men were assigned to Bravo Company and Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the 164th Infantry Regiment, North Dakota National Guard. During over four and a half years of activation, these Soldiers proved that on the fields of international conflict, a citizen Soldier could excel and could meet the best the enemy had to offer and could prevail. They served North Dakota and the United States with distinction and honor. And they provided North Dakota and its military with an unequaled record of accomplishment.
The 164th Infantry Regiment was an outstanding military organization that accumulated over 600 days of jungle combat in numerous locations and battles, most notably Guadalcanal in October of 1942. Among their many decorations were five Distinguished Service Crosses and a Navy Cross. They suffered an astounding 50% casualty rate including 325 who did not return.
The monument was originally dedicated by Major General Alexander P. McDonald, the North Dakota Adjutant General at that time, on October 24th of 1987. The monument served as a reminder to the community of the young men who assembled in North Dakota on a cold February of 1941 and set off to serve in World War II.
After nearly 30 years calling the intersection of 3rd Avenue and 5th Street its home, a decision to move the monument was made. Post 2 had sold their downtown building and was in the process of moving to their new home. The choice was made to seek out a new appropriate home where all could continue to view and admire this beautiful monument. Under the supervision of Adjutant Sylvan Melroe and with the cooperation of Fargo Parks, arrangements were made and agreed upon to move the monument to Lindenwood Park. And through generous donations by L. Gnoinsky Concrete/Construction, Inc. Aggregate Industries of Fargo-Moorhead, and Dakota Moument Company with cooperation and coordination with the Fargo Park District, the monument was removed from downtown, given a good cleaning, and placed at Lindenwood Park in early November of 2016.

Black Friday: It's not just for shopping anymore, insert your protest name here ____.
Black Lives Matter and related groups made it known they would be attempting to shut down Black Friday shopping in major cities across the county and also on Chicago's Magnificent mile again this year.
Two main hashtags have popped up on Twitter: #CPACNOW and #BlackOutBlackFriday. Ironically, CPAC is well-known to stand for Conservative Political Action Committee, but according to the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR), their use of CPAC stands for Civilian Police Accountability Council.
In Chicago, a branch of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) promises "80 Allies" to aid in the harassing shoppers and businesses.

Triangle SURJ was responsible for organizing the recent 'Concede McCrory' protest that took place in front of the Governor's mansion earlier this week in North Carolina.
Black Lives Matter has not commented nor engaged on the nearly daily shootings in Chicago. Since the start of 2016, Chicago has seen 3,998 shootings resulting in 645 deaths. Not a single Black Lives Matter protest has been held despite most of the deaths involved black citizens.
In Seattle, Washington, a Facebook page event has been set up called "BlackLivesMatterFriday 3.0 The Revolution Begins."
The Seattle Facebook event lists a phone number for contact, which tracks back to a group called Young Voters Empowerment.
Details of the event include, "#BlackFriday Cheap Deals do NOT matter #BlackLivesMatter" and for protesters to show up at 1 pm and stay until 8 pm. The timing is curious; Most serious Black Friday shoppers are done before noon.
In New York, Shoppers at Macys were treated to protests inside store for the "Economic Shutdown 2.0."

Violence broke out in other locations, like Atlantic City, New Jersey. A man was fatally shot and his brother was wounded in a Macys store parking lot. Meanwhile, in Reno, Nevada another person was shot over a parking space at a Walmart.
More incidents seemed to happen at Walmart than anywhere else this year. Video out of Illinois shows shoppers brawling in line and someone possibly fainting.
In Houston, elbows are thrown to grab merchandise and fighting ensues.
