Open to trade-ins. Financing is available.
118' AB Yacht 116 2009
Great opportunity for this AB 116 for sale – Great conditions.
The AB 116 is fully in line with the philosophy that's underpinned our production since the start – a winning combination of extensive technical content, high performance and outstanding sailing comfort," says Marco Arnaboldi, technical manager of AB Yachts.
"The hull, which is quite deep and has a nineteen-degree dihedral to stern, is very stable and can easily support extremely high speeds." She is a very fast-moving yacht! Her three 2,400 MTUs coupled with MJP or Rolls-Royce Kamewa waterjets means that she can reach 46 knots with ease, with a range of 500 miles. And we're not talking about an off-shore hotrod – what we're looking at is a 36.20-metre luxury cruiser in full possession of all the bells and whistles the modern owner demands! Advanced materials have been used in her build, creating a light yet sturdy construction (Kevlar reinforced fibreglass and vacuum-processed Divinycell sandwich). She displays the sleek, tapered and harmonious lines of an open, emphasised by an iridescent, lightly gilded livery.
There's also a generous flying bridge – though this, in fact, is invisible to onlookers. "The interiors," says Arnaboldi, "are entirely custom-built. Clients have a wide range of options for choosing layouts, woods, fabrics and all the details, including taps, bathroom fittings and door handles." So the description that follows, and the photos illustrating the feature, refer to a particular example called Musa, furnished by Barbara Tognon, the architect chosen by the owner. Designed for long cruises, the AB 116 has two garages – the very large on aft can host a 5.40-meters tender and a jetski, while the smaller forward garage can be used to hold an inflatable service dinghy.

The Little Mac Book used to be really little—way back in 1989. In 100 pages, it told you everything you needed to know. The Mac itself was also little in those days.
Over the years, as the Mac got bigger and more powerful, The Little Mac Book got bigger and heavier—it finally morphed into an 850-page behemoth, and that doesn't even include information on iTunes, iPhoto, and the other applications!
But here is a "little" book again with just the very basic information to get you started using your new Macintosh. Of course, being little means there is a lot less information! This book should get you started and keep you going for quite a while. If you ever feel the need to know more, check out Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Peachpit Learning Series for general Mac stuff, and Cool Mac Apps, second edition for detailed directions on how to use all the really fun stuff like iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, the .Mac account and its tools, and more.
Here's to a grand adventure!

Don't pull your Kleenex yet…the lights out perhaps are just temporary.
Via a Media Bistro report it appears like many shoppes these doors are closed due to some back taxes. Pay up owners!
"In an e-mail sent today to friends and colleagues of Moss, owners Murray Moss and Franklin Getchell attribute the store closure to "our failure to file a document (one of literally hundreds!) with the Department [of Taxation and Finance]" and emphasize that they consider the shuttering temporary. "Our tax advisors, lawyers, and accountant have been great, working throughout the evening and morning to satisfy this State bureaucratic situation…"

Hi and welcome to another week of Gluten Free Wednesdays, which I co-host with Linda fromThe Gluten Free Homemaker and Lynn from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures! Gluten Free Wednesdays is a great way share recipes and get new gluten free ideas. As usual, we had some great recipes shared last week and I'm really looking forward to another great week!
What Is Gluten Free Wednesdays?
When your diet is restricted, figuring out what to eat can be challenging. Gluten Free Wednesdays is a weekly carnival where people can link up their favorite gluten free recipes. The goal of this weekly carnival is to provide people with gluten-free eating ideas and information. Plus, once you link up a recipe, it will show up on all three sites and I will highlight several of the recipes that were shared the next week – YAY!
I would love for you to participate in this carnival, and participation is easy. Every Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning I will put up a new "Gluten-Free Wednesdays" post. You will be able to add your link until midnight on Thursday. Please read over these guidelines, and you'll know what to do.
Last Weeks Most Popular Links:
We had a tie! The top two most popular were Customisable 3 Ingredient Paleo Cookies from The Big Man's World
and Turtle Cheesecake With Gluten Free Granola Crust From Gluten Free Yumms
My Pics From Last Week:
Lemon Honey Cake From Gluten Free & Paleo Travels
and Gluten and Egg Free Empanadas or Hand Pies From Tessa Domestic Diva!
My Submission:
Shrimp Tacos With Pineapple Salsa {Gluten & Dairy Free With Paleo Option} – this is one of our favorite summer recipes!!!
The Carnival:
We appreciate your participation and are happy to share many of the links on social media sites. However, as much as we hate to put a damper on this fun carnival, entries that do not follow the guidelines will not be shared and will be deleted from the linky.
- You must link back to one of the co-hosts in the text of your post (not on a separate page with a bunch of carnival links).
- Links should be about a gluten-free eating idea. While it doesn't have to be a recipe, it should be food related.
- Recipes should have gluten-free ingredients or options in the recipe (not just elsewhere in the text).
- If you're new, please read all the carnival guidelines.
Note: Linking up indicates you are giving permission for us to share your submitted photo and your link via social media or in next week's post if it is selected as the most popular post for the week or featured as a highlight.

Welcome to the Open Enrollment Period for the 2018 plan year! All employees of the Superior Court should have received an Open Enrollment letter which was mailed on October 13, 2017. In our continuing effort to keep heath plan costs low, the Court has opted to continue to conduct its Open Enrollment period electronically. All documents are available by clicking on the appropriate links below.
Open Enrollment periods are an excellent time to make changes to your health benefit plan; such as adding or deleting dependents, when otherwise you would be unable to do so without sustaining a qualifying life event, such as a marriage, divorce, birth or death, or the gaining or loss of benefit coverage elsewhere during the course of the year. Additionally, Open Enrollment is also the time each year when elections to the FSA Plans must be made, as participation in this plan must be renewed each year.
The Court's Open Enrollment period will run from October 16, 2017 through November 17, 2017, with all forms being received by Human Resources, no later than Friday, November 17, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. It is important to note that any changes made during this Open Enrollment period do not take effect until January 1st of the new plan year (January 1, 2018). Please also note that in order to add new dependents, you must complete and return the 2018 HealthComp Enrollment Form and attach a copy of all supporting documentation of the dependent(s) relation to you, such as a marriage certificate (if adding a spouse), or a birth certificate or other Court-related documentation (if adding a child under the age of 26).
The Court will continue to offer employees the ability to enroll in the Court's PPO Medical, Prescription, Dental and Vision plans; or, if you are presently enrolled in an HMO plan that you are pleased with, but are lacking the Dental and Vision components, you have the ability to obtain just the Dental and Vision component available through the Court. Unfortunately, our PPO Medical and Prescription plans do not coordinate benefit coverage with HMO plans and enrolling in full coverage with the Court's PPO Plan while staying covered by another plans HMO could become problematic for some employees and/or their dependents, if enrolled in both plans simultaneously. *Please note that proof of other health insurance is required at the time of enrollment if you will be dropping the Court's coverage, or if you will be electing the Dental and Vision only component.
We are pleased to announce that for the third straight year, the Court's Benefit Plan will not experience any premium increases! However, the bi-weekly premium rates for the 2018 plan year will look slightly different due to a change in the new payroll system being implemented in January 2018. Since the new payroll system will re-number and convert the existing pay periods based on the date paid, rather than time worked, pay period 2017-25 (which is time worked from December 9th, 2017 through December 22, 2017, and paid on Tuesday, January 2, 2018), will be considered pay period 2018-01 under the new system. Additionally, this change will result in 27 pay periods for the plan year. Although the premiums will sustain no change, it will appear as though there is a slight premium decrease because we will spread the annual premium deductions across 27 pay periods rather than the standard 26 pay periods.
As such, the bi-weekly premium rates for the 2018 plan year are as follows:
The rates above continue to be extraordinary! Year after year, the Court's benefit plans have been able to continue to incorporate all changes required under the federally-mandated Health Care Reform Laws while still keeping costs to its members at a near constant level, with minimal to no increase in monthly premiums! As always, the Court will cover 100% of the monthly premiums for employees and their eligible dependents that were hired prior to April 15, 1997.

Alex Ovechkin had a busy Friday.
First, he had practice with his teammates at Kettler IcePlex at 11:00 a.m. But instead of unwinding Friday afternoon, he had another shift to handle.
Before the Capitals' captain gets focused on the Flyers, who are in town on Saturday night, "The Great Eight" had some business to take care of.
Ovechkin was in Sterling, Va. on Friday afternoon to work a shfit at Papa John's, who he is a spokesperson for.
Ovi donned the red uniform and went to work.

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system that brought your business through one of the harshest winters on record also will be required to operate reliably during the upcoming summer cooling season.
Consider calling your service firm to arrange service and inspection of your HVAC equipment before the summer heat arrives.
In my days as a boiler inspector, owners of older boilers would frequently ask: "So, how much longer do you think [the boiler] has to live?" To which I would respond: "I cannot tell you what day it is going to fail; but I can tell you what kind of day it is going to be. It is going to be the coldest day of the year; and the boiler service guy is going to be buried with work."
The same is true for air conditioning. Remember that:
Before the cooling season starts, ask your HVAC provider to:
Oh, and check the filters. Clogged filters restrict air circulation in your environmental system, reducing efficiency and costing you more in energy expenses. Replacing a dirty filter is like putting money in the bank.
Thank you to Cincinnati Insurance for the information in this blog! http://blog.cinfin.com/2014/05/06/service-air-conditioning/#sthash.sg6YbTlU.dpbs

The new issue of the Claremont Review of Books is in the mail and available online to subscribers (subscribe here). Our friends at the Claremont Institute have allowed me to select a few of my favorite pieces from the issue to introduce to our readers.
The funny thing about President Obama, Charles Kesler notes in "The Stakes of Obamacare," is how resolute he is despite poll numbers that ought to be discouraging. Forty-two percent of Americans now call themselves conservative, compared to 20 percent who call themselves liberal; and the president's job approval ratings have steadily eroded since he took office. With midterm elections on the horizon, one might expect the president to stand a little less firmly, to give a little. But Obama, Kesler argues, will do no such thing. He is the most ambitious and the most ideological president we've had in decades, and he's playing a very long game.
His cause is perpetuating the era of big government, "building a bigger and better state that will grant people new kinds of rights" and making the country anew. He believes, like all Progressives, that history is on his side, and that progress requires a leader like him and changes like these. Professor Kesler examines the consequences the Obamacare legislation, explaining why it will have deleterious effects on the economy, our political system, and our character as a people. He concludes that the bill must be repealed because, despite the Progressive vision, not all change is inevitable, or for the best.
Professor Kesler is a leading student of the words and deeds of President Obama. He has taken Obama's measure in the CRB essay "The audacity of Barack Obama," in the Christian Science Monitor column "How will Obama's liberalism shape America?" and in the Imprimis essay "The New New Deal." To these we now add Professor Kesler's important essay on Obamacare.

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Al Simmons - UEFA Euro 2016 News
The Italian football has regressed; no one can deny that. Can they pull an upset and be one of the teams to beat in the Euro 2016?
Italy Odds To Win Euro 2016 are the sixth best amongst the 24 participants, but is it really worth the risk? The Italians got to the Euro final four years ago before getting hammered by Spain in the final with a 4-0 result. The odds listed them at 17.0 to win the European title.
They have lacked playmakers since winning the 2006 World Cup, and in recent tournaments, meaning the last two WC, they haven't been able to advance more than just the group stage.
Let's face it; there isn't anybody that can really carry this team. Andrew Pirlo is old and unlikely to be called for the tournament. He's in the MLS close to retirement. Their next big name also plays in the MLS; Sebastian Giovinco decided to cut his career short and give a shot on the other side of the world.
Unlike Pirlo, in certain Giovinco will be called for this tournament, but how much he can impact his team is yet to be determinate.
By this time Italy was hoping their star would be Mario Balotelli, but we are far away from that possibility. Since 2012, perhaps Mario's best tournament, he has wondered around several teams, including Liverpool and AC Milan.
Currently playing with the Rossoneri, Balotelli comes off the bench and hasn't really made an impact on his team.
Italy will be in group E along Belgium (2.0), Sweden (7.0) and the Republic of Ireland (13.0). The Italians are second favorites to win the zone, listed at 2.63 at the online sportsbook Bodog, behind the Belgian.
"I think Belgium are an excellent team and are among the favourites for the final stages," the Azzurri coach, Antonio Conte said. "They have a young team and a lot of top players in their ranks.
"Then I see pretty equal teams with Sweden, us and Ireland. I think Belgium are among the favourites."
Italy will open against Belgium on June 13 at the State de Lyon. Their second challenge will be against Sweden on June 17 at the Stadium de Toulouse, and they close the group stage against Ireland on June 22 at the State Pierre Mauroy in Lille.
Italy have a great coach in Antonio Conte, but a manager is as good as his options on the pitch. The Italians are not a great bet for this tournament; although they should get to the second stage.

Fabrication and Characterization of Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Publication Title
International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology
Publication Date
Document Type
tubular solid oxide fuel cells
Chemical Engineering
Processes to fabricate tubular solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using various electrolyte and electrode materials have been investigated. Single-phase perovskite strontium- and magnesium-doped lanthanum gallate (LSGM) was synthesized. Mechanical and thermal properties, and the cell performance of LSGM electrolyte fuel cells were studied and compared with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte systems. Paste extrusion was identified as a suitable method for high-speed manufacture of the tubular support components. Procedures were developed to extrude dense, straight, round (OD: 2–4±0.1 mm), thin-walled (0.2±0.02 mm) tubular LSGM and YSZ electrolytes, and porous anode or cathode support (5–20 mm OD, 0.5–2 mm wall thickness). The research systematically investigated developing a fabrication process, designing the extrusion die, the effects of formulation and process additives, and how to handle, dry, and sinter the extrudate. Dip coating, brush painting, vacuum infiltration, electrophoretic coating, and plasma spray were examined for applying thin films on the tubular support. The average three-point bending strengths of extruded and sintered LSGM were determined to be 287, 195, 184, and 147 MPa at room temperature, 600°C, 800°C, and 1000°C, respectively. Room-temperature burst strengths (average) of the tubular electrolytes made from YSZ and LSGM were 127 and 40 MPa, respectively. Room-temperature bending strength and burst strength (average) of the as-sintered NiO–YSZ anode were 300 and 100 MPa, respectively. The average thermal expansion coefficients of YSZ and LSGM were 10.18 × 10−6/°C and 11.01 × 10−6/°C, respectively, between room temperature and 800°C. The maximum power density at 800°C for a 220-μm-thick LSGM electrolyte was 460–482 mW/cm2, which is more than double the power density for YSZ cells (200–220 mW/cm2) at 850°C. Reducing LSGM thickness from 550 to 220 μm increased the maximum power densities by more than 30%. Repeatable cell power outputs per cell of 2.5 W at 800°C and 2.8 W at 850°C were obtained. The cell durability was evaluated during a 500-h test.

Irrespective of how huge or small your bump is, you'll most likely obtain feedback about it each day.

Apart from being irritating, the feedback might depart you feeling anxious. However is it price worrying about bump measurement?
Firstly, it's essential to do not forget that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all with regards to being pregnant bumps. You might be distinctive, and your child is exclusive, you aren't going to measure up precisely the identical as Jane from HR. It's additionally essential to do not forget that the folks making the feedback should not the consultants. They're not midwives or medical doctors working over to you on the street to criticise your bump, they're buddies, relations or complete strangers. Take their opinions with a really giant pinch of salt.
Bump measurement could be affected by:
- the variety of pregnancies – if this isn't your first child, your abdomen muscle tissues received't be as tight, and so you might discover that you just present earlier within the being pregnant
- the variety of infants – for those who're carrying a couple of child, your bump measurement is prone to be greater
- the newborn's place – your bump might seem smaller when your child is tucked in near your backbone, and larger when your child is stretching out in opposition to your bump
- amniotic fluid – some ladies have extra amniotic fluid than others. This might make your bump seem a lot greater or smaller
- your posture – sure stances and positions will make your bump look greater
- your garments – sure garments might make your bump look greater than others. Whether or not you go for a bump-hugging t-shirt, or a floaty maternity shirt may make all of the distinction
Is it price worrying about bump measurement?
No. Depart the worrying to your healthcare supplier. In the event that they're not anxious, you needn't be both. Your healthcare supplier will measure the newborn at every prenatal appointment. You may be requested to lie down on the mattress, in order that your healthcare supplier can study you, test the newborn's place, and measure the newborn. The outcomes might be plotted on a chart, to permit your healthcare supplier to trace your child's development.
In case your healthcare supplier is worried about your child's measurement, you can be supplied additional ultrasound scans to permit for extra correct measurements.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb. 24, 2015) - Crown Point Energy Inc.

Darien, Conn. (PRWEB) February 20, 2015
William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty Darien, Conn. agents Nancy and Phil Crosland represented the buyer in the highest sale Darien has seen since October 2013, the firm announced today. The Long Island Sound-front property, located on Long Neck Point Road and owned at one time by actor Christopher Plummer, sold for $11,200,000.
With over 200 feet of direct waterfront, the property offers more than two manicured acres with a private beach, stone terrace and custom-designed oceanfront swimming pool with spa. Originally built in 1866 as a carriage house, the home has been transformed over the years to maintain its historic integrity by several owners, including the actor Christopher Plummer. The result is a 7,739 square-foot estate designed to emphasize its water views, particularly from the kitchen, adjoining family room, library, master suite, office, guest suite and four balconies overlooking the shoreline. Additional living spaces include a large great room and dining room with 12 foot ceilings, nine baths and a lower-level recreation room and gym.
This transaction was the highest in Darien since October 2013, when another Long Neck Point home sold for $14,900,000. In this January 2015 sale, Halstead represented the seller.
"This property's understated elegance, warmth and historic architectural detail, combined with its prime waterfront location, make it one of a kind. We are honored to have taken part in this sale," said Nancy Crosland.
"This sale demonstrates that there will always be strong and ongoing demand for unique waterfront properties such as this one, with its coveted location and breathtaking views," said Phil Crosland.

Book Notes - Mickey Hess ("Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory")
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that is in some way relevant to their recently published books.
When Mickey Hess graduated and started taking college teaching positions, he was forced to take other jobs to augment his income. Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory chronicle these experiences that range from carnival ride attendant to stand-up comedian, and Hess approaches each job with an open mind and his unique sense of humor.
Curled Up with a Good Book wrote of the book:
"Mickey Hess will make you laugh. His book will ring very true for that segment of the population (statistically growing) that can't quite let go of school once college is over and can't quite settle into the career path that leads to middle age and death, without having just a few existential yucks beforehand. However, even if you went straight from university to marriage and the nine-to-five, you can still enjoy this book as a look at how the other half struggles."
In his own words, here is Mickey Hess's Book Notes essay for his book, Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory:
I wrote Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory when I was teaching part-time at all these different colleges and universities around Louisville, Kentucky. I went in with the idea that teaching college was some kind of prestigious job, but I discovered that's not the case for the more than sixty percent of faculty hired on a part-time, semester-to-semester basis. One of my co-workers managed a Subway restaurant, another was a male stripper, and another ran a side business selling curtains. I was already working as a waiter to support my teaching job, so I decided to apply for a bunch of other weird, low-level jobs, and I always made sure to emphasize College Professor under the current employment section. I worked as an ice cream man, a haunted house character, Billy Graham crusader, inept house sitter, and ball-pit attendant at this weird arcade in the mall. The bosses always asked me about my other job teaching college, but nobody ever turned me down because of it.
I listen to music a lot when I write, and song lyrics run through my head constantly. I think the most about Pavement-era Stephen Malkmus and Ghostface Killah, because both of them weave together these beautifully-detailed stories and Surrealist nonsense. Why have those two never teamed up?
Here's my soundtrack to Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory:
Operation Ivy "Junkies Runnin' Dry"
I got into punk music pretty late, in my junior or senior year of high school. Before that I was mainly listening to rap and these Johnny Horton tapes I bought at the truck stop. That's how it was growing up in Eubank, Kentucky. When I was writing Big Wheel, I was going to a lot of shows put on by Whitehouse Records in and around Louisville, and catching up on all the punk I'd been missing out on. All the kids at the shows were five or six years younger than me, so I'd always run into my students.
I thought about this Operation Ivy song a lot while I wrote Big Wheel. I was embarking on a career and I was fascinated by their comparison of working to a drug addiction in this song, especially when I caught myself getting out of bed to check my work email in the middle of the night. I listened to it so much that I can't stand hearing it anymore.
Tha Alkaholiks "Last Call"
In Big Wheel, I drive to Cincinnati to see Tha Alkaholiks, and no one will go with me. I think it was the first out-of-town show I ever went to alone, and it totally changed the experience. I don't exactly recommend it, but if you ever get the chance to see Tha Alkaholiks live, go, even if you have to drive two hours by yourself. "Last Call" is off their first album 21 and Over, which I hear they're playing at the new style of shows where a band plays one entire album.
Digital Underground "Doowhutchyalike"
I also went to see Digital Underground play in a country bar in Louisville. There were cactuses painted on the stage. They had a disco ball shaped like a saddle.
"Doowhutchyalike" isn't as famous as "The Humpty Dance," off the same album, Sex Packets, but I heard it first and I've always preferred it. Not to take away from "The Humpty Dance," but seeing Digital Underground play this song live realized a lifelong dream of mine. I finally got to see how one man who plays two different rappers pulls it off in concert. In my book Is Hip Hop Dead?, I devote a whole chapter to rappers who wear masks.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg "Next Episode" (censored)
The February weekend I drove the ice cream truck, Louisville radio played this song incessantly, and I had absolutely no problem with that. I still prefer the radio-friendly, censored version. At the end of the original song the music stops for a few seconds before Nate Dogg sings, a capella, "Smoke weed every day."
When the radio plays the song, they cut out "weed" and create this additional awkward pause that makes it sound like someone just pointed at Nate Dogg and he couldn't think of what to say to end the song: "Smoke … every day."
Del the Funky Homosapien "Catch a Bad One"
This song absolutely blows my mind. When I teach Hip Hop and American Culture at Rider, I use this song as an example of flow and rhyme style. Del has one of the smoothest flows on this song. It's absolutely seamless. And I love that he threatens to shoot someone with a BB gun.
While I was writing Big Wheel, I saw Del play live. It was the end of his tour and the opening band was so sick they were all in the hospital. Even though he'd been riding around in the same van as them, and even though he had to stop between songs to go into dry heaves, Del played the show.
This song is built around an amazing cello loop. If anyone out there plays cello and raps, I would love nothing more in my life than to see you cover "Catch a Bad One" as a one-man -- or even better, one-woman -- band, rapping while you play the cello.
Ghostface Killah "Mighty Healthy"
"Eatin' dead birds, chose the pharmacy over herbs.
Men marryin' men, ill, they got the urge. Pulsar.
Scissor hand, wig vanished in the winter."
The man is a genius. No question.
Pavement "Fillmore Jive"
"Jasper's skinny arms"
Nirvana "Lithium"
When I was revising Big Wheel, I actually borrowed and reworked a little snippet from my old zine-fried novel El Cumpleanos de Paco, which I copied and gave away for free. My first year of college, I saw Nirvana play a concert in Dayton, Ohio. There was a blizzard during the concert and Kurt Cobain reminded us all to be careful on the way home.
Just a few months later, the day after Kurt Cobain died, I sneaked into a bar called the Toy Tiger and saw a guy twirling in circles while "Lithium" played on the jukebox over and over. And I can't get this image out of my head.
Dead Milkmen "Sri Lanka Sex Hotel"
I took a guitar class with my tuition benefits when I taught college in Indiana. I got to take a free class for every two classes I taught, which sounded great, but the professor wanted us to learn to read music and everything, and after teaching all day, I never really had the patience for it. The Dead Milkmen's "Sri Lanka Sex Hotel" was one of the first songs I learned to play on my own.
I spent all my time learning Dead Milkmen songs and never studied for my guitar class. I made a D, which meant I actually had to pay for the class anyway. Doesn't that seem unfair?
Nice N Smooth "Hip Hop Junkies"
The word "also" is not a very chorus-friendly word. Only Nice N Smooth can pull off using "also" in their chorus (or hook, as they call it in hip hop): "Nice N Smooth is funky, also hip hop junkies."
I'm going to lay down a challenge. The first person who emails me with the name of one other song that uses the word "also" in the hook, I will mail you a free copy of Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory.
People don't seem to remember Nice N Smooth, but Ain't a Damn Thang Changed is an album I found myself returning to as I wrote Big Wheel. "Hip Hop Junkies" samples the theme song from The Partridge Family, and the first verse is sheer genius:
Greg Nice, my life's like a fairy tail
Orca was a great big whale
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale
You won't tell, I won't tell
Elsewhere on this album, Greg Nice says he's the "type of man that the girls want to read about." I guess I hope I am too.

Connecticut is unveiling the second phase of a two-year, nearly $27 million tourism campaign, focusing on the state's economic development efforts.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office announced Monday that the fall initiative will tell the stories of companies in Connecticut that are "inventing the future today through innovation." It will feature companies such as ESPN and Alexion Pharmaceuticals.
The "Still Revolutionary" campaign is intended to highlight what the state has to offer businesses as well as tourists. Launched in May, the state's tourism website has seen a 100 percent jump in traffic.
The marketing campaign includes TV, print and digital advertising, as well as a new website, www.ctforbusiness.com, that promotes the state as a good place to start or bring a business. There's also a focus on fall tourism destinations.

HOUSTON -- There are three ways to write about Trae tha Truth. One is to talk about his music, and that's important because he is a rapper and making music is what he does. The other is to talk about him as a human, and that's important, because he has done some truly monumental and impressive things. The third is to talk about the intersection of him as a rapper and his as a humanitarian, because that's where Trae really belongs. Only a handful of people have ever blurred the borders of what it means to be a musician, and what it means to be a civic leader and then able to blend them together as well as Trae has.
Well, with a description like that, no wonder he has his own day! Trae Day, an annual festival commemorating the day the City of Houston gave Trae for his role as a civic leader, made him the first rapper in Texas to be given an official holiday by the city. He's also founded a nonprofit organization, helped counsel inmates, sponsored at-risk high school students and more.
The official Trae Day kicks off Saturday, but the party started a day early at the Children's Museum of Houston.
"My motto is free, free, free for the kids. We ended up coming together and got like 600 tickets. Everybody in line out there will get in today courtesy of me and the Houston Children's Museum," Trae said.
"He's a real good person for that. He's taking care of his people here in H-Town. I wouldn't expect nothing less from him. He's a good man. I knew he was gonna be like that, he's cool," said Leo Gonzalez, a parent.
"We couldn't be happier that he's here today. When we talked about the partnership in December, we definitely wanted to do something," an official with the Children's Museum of Houston said, "Since Trae works with the kids so well, we figured we'd be the perfect place to come to have some sort of day here with the children."
For the past 10 years, Trae tha Truth has been giving back to the Bayou City in a big way, On Saturdayk the free fun continues at Discovery Green, and on Sunday, Trae and the Houston Public Library are giving away 10 scholarships to local students.
Also in the mix on Friday, Caesar, celebrity tattoo artist from the VH1 hit show, "Black Ink Crew,"
flew to H-Town from New York to support Trae's charity work.
"He could have made it all about partying and what not, but he's trying to show that it's positive,' Caesar said.
Caesar loves the city so much, he told NewsFix that he is considering setting up a shop for Houstonians to get inked up.
"That's one of the more reasons why I want to come to Houston. I see that everyone support each other."
So great job Houston, cheers to a weekend filled with food, fun and philanthropy!

Most of the country experienced heavy rainfall this week leading to flash floods in the Negev and washed out streets in Haifa.
Here's a one minute video of the rain in Jerusalem.
One of the few places in the country to have some sunshine was Tuesday, so we took a trip down to Arad to look at some properties for a client.
I lived in the Negev and I've never seen so much water in the desert. Normally dry Wadis were flowing with water and ponds formed around trees in the desert.
Here are a few photos of the trip…

OAKLAND RAIDERS FOOTBALL TEAM Shrouded in silver and black, the Oakland Raiders have become one of the most iconic brands in the National Football League. With a successful history and a devoted pack of supporters that span the country, this team possesses many of building blocks for a strong franchise. However, this once elite organization has become overshadowed by their alternative business strategies and a reputation for mayhem. The goals of the rebrand are to increase pride for the team, both in Oakland and nationally. The strategy is to focus on the Raider core values of teamwork and brotherhood, with a design emphasizing the masculine appeal of this team of scrappy underdogs.
ART DIRECTION Once the terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad and a major port city, Oakland has a strong industrial history. The imagery and textures incorporated into the Raiders' identity system represent this heritage creating a sense of authenticity, connecting the team to their fan base, as well as their home city.
THERE IS A PLACE IN RAIDER NATION FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN MISTREATED, MISJUDGED, AND UNDERVALUED. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF DEDICATION, PERSEVERANCE, AND COURAGE. WE UNITE TO DEFEND OUR Tribe OF PLAYERS AND FANS. WE PERSEVERE WHEN FACED WITH ADVERSITY. WE fight against intolerance in an unjust world.
PRIMARY LOGO In redesigning the Raider logo the goal is to preserve the existing brand equity, while creating a mark that truly represents the tenacity and masculinity of the Raider spirit. The shield holding-shape and eye patch are carried through to the new identity however, the overall face of the Raider is simplified, becoming angular and menacing.
Aa Aa
Tungsten - Semi Bold
Oakland Raiders
Gotham - Medium Oakland Raiders
The typeface chosen to represent the Oakland Raiders is Tungsten. This face was chosen for its bold masculinity and because it stacks well. Additionally, Tungsten is a perfect match with the football franchise because it is highly readable without compromising the design of other elements.
The color palette for the Oakland Raiders remains consistent with its historical legacy of sharpness and power. The use of black with bold metallics demonstrates the swagger of the Raiders while adding to their overall visual strength.
Oakland City Banners Street banners throughout Oakland promote the idea that the Raiders are an integral part of the city, and convey the core values of loyalty and brotherhood that are associated with the team and its fans. These banners also direct viewers to the Raider website where they can learn more about the team.
Website The rebranding of the Raiders continues on their official website, where visitors can learn more about the ideals of the Raiders, join the Raider Nation, purchase merchandise and more. Silver and black fans ordering tickets through the website will have access to cross-promotional package deals with Raider corporate partners and the opportunity to attain exclusive stadium seating.
Game Day Banners
Street banners outside the stadium in Oakland at home games mark Raider territory and playfully taunt the opposition of that day, which fires up fans and adds to a spirited game day experience for all.
Stadium Banners
Large banners at the entrance gates of the Oakland stadium as well as banners inside the stadium are welcoming to fans of both the Raiders and the opposing team of the day.
The identity components of the brand are further carried out by the team as they battle opponents on the field. Uniforms worn by the Raiders incorporate metallic textures to create a dynamic presence on the field. The alternate attire embraces the color gold, referencing uniforms from their hall of fame past.
Field of Play The field design is masculine and edgy, continuing to support the brand identity and create excitement and movement on field during the game.
Season Ticket Package As a special perk for Raider season ticket holders, the season ticket package comes in a sleek, reusable metal tin. The package includes a leather-bound schedule for the current season, a Raider flag, and perforated tickets for the ten games of the season. Since avid fans would like to frame the tickets and display them with pride, the ten tickets together form the metallic image of the Raider logo.
