So much went on in Mansfield last year that City Manager Clayton Chandler struggled to sift out the most significant events of 2013 for his list.
"The greatest thing I like seeing is the unity of the community as opposed to any single accomplishment, although there were a lot of those," he said. "All the downtown events, the Fourth of July, the Christmas program, the parades, all these events that the citizens have enjoyed."
But he settled on a less glamorous event, an uptick in the city's bond rating – to AA+ -- from the major rating service, Standard & Poor's, in the fall. A rating increase reflects the bond raters' confidence in the city's financial health and lowers the city's costs to borrow money.
"The last five years have been record bad years for many cities," Chandler said. "But we've been like the Energizer Bunny."
Among the other major occurrences, funding was finally approved for the main lanes of Texas 360 to be extended through Mansfield, between the frontage roads that were built years ago. The new main lanes will be toll lanes.
Also, the 168-bed Methodist Mansfield Medical Center announced late in 2013 that it plans to add a new patient tower and a second professional office building at its East Broad Street site.
Preserving an important part of Mansfield history, the city purchased the house at 604 W. Broad St. that was built by the city's co-founder, Ralph Man. Meanwhile, private interests have purchased the historic J.H. Wright House a few blocks over, at 302 W. Broad St., and are converting it into Broad Street Bistro, a steak and seafood restaurant. The restaurant is projected to open this summer, along with another interesting eatery, a Mellow Mushroom pizzeria, which is under construction in the southeast corner of Main Street and Broad Street.
Also, the City Council scrapped a bond election in early 2013 but has committed to provide for street improvements. The council plans to spend $20 million over the next three years to rebuild and widen roads to ease traffic congestion. The city will use certificates of obligation, which are similar to bonds but don't require an election.
In the outdoor realm, the city and its sales tax-funded park board broke ground in March on the 80-acre Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park at 1650 Matlock Road, and now it's getting ready for a Jan. 25 grand opening. The $3 million first phase of the park will be followed by two more phases that will add classroom structures and extend the Walnut Creek Linear Park trail eastward to Joe Pool Lake, at a cost of $10 million.
The school district was extra busy in 2013.
Perhaps most importantly, officials said, the district got a new superintendent. After Bob Morrison left for the superintendent job at the Garland school district early last year, the Mansfield school board decided against conducting a nationwide search and instead promoted Morrison's second in command, Jim Vaszauskas.
School Board President Beth Light said that after talking with focus groups and meeting with community leaders and parents, "People liked the way the district was going, and people thought very highly of him."
As part of the 2011 bond package, the district tore down J.L. Boren and Alice Ponder elementary schools last summer to make room for new buildings. Officials hope to have the new schools ready for the students and staff by the end of 2014. The new Tarver-Rendon Elementary building opened during the summer. The district also opened Judy K. Miller Elementary, which is currently hosting the students from J.L. Boren Elementary.
Meanwhile, the school board shaved 1.3 cents off the district property tax rate for the 2013-14 school year, leaving a total tax rate of $1.5271 per $100 of property value. The tax break will save about $26 a year on a home valued at $200,000.
The school district's Toys for Tots drive collected 19,000 toys for underprivileged children in December, besting its 2012 toy collections.
Also, Summit, Mansfield, Legacy and Timberview high schools all made it to at least the first round of the state football playoffs. Legacy went the farthest, advancing to the state semifinals before falling to Highland Park. The Lake Ridge High School band also advanced, marching to the top 10 in state. And Ben Barber Career Tech Academy's student-built solar-powered car won the State Energy Conservation Award for "outstanding engineering excellence."
Mansfield also welcomed some major businesses in 2013, a list topped by the newly built and opened Sam's Club store.
On the industrial side, one of the biggest projects is the ongoing expansion of Klein Tools, which is relocating many of its operations to Mansfield and has nearly completed the first of several large buildings. The 60,000-square-foot "heat treat" building is nearly complete. The 156-year-old company, which makes pliers, wire cutters and many other hand tools, is designing its second building of similar size, said Scott Welmaker, the city's economic development director. Klein has promised to invest $70 million to expand its Mansfield operations and hire 585 employees by 2021. In return, the company will receive city grants of $500,000 annually for 12 years.
"There ahead of where they're supposed to be," Welmaker said. "They've hired around 200 people."
Don Lee Farms, a California food processor that bought and is using the former Simeus Foods building, plans to increase production at the plant "because it's done so well," Welmaker said.
He noted two other companies looking to expand existing operations. Dura-Tech Processes, which makes a coating for pipes used in the oil industry, is building a 54,000-square-foot building, and Sellmark Corp., which designs, markets and distributes sporting optics like night-vision goggles, is doubling the size of its building and has bought an adjoining eight acres for future expansion.
"There's that and much, much more," Welmaker said. "Lots of expansion and lots of new businesses are coming in, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Nope, this isn't a review and there is no pie either. Booo, hisssssss. Not so quick! Halloweensie is an annual writing contest hosted by children's author Susanna Leonard Hill, and I couldn't pass up writing a little Halloween ditty for the kiddos. The contest rules are:
1) The story must be appropriate for kids and no longer than 100 words. Keep it brief, people.
2) It must be a story — beginning, middle, end. Make it arc, people.
3 ) The story must include the words ghost, spider, and moon. Let's do this, people. ENJOY!
"I don't like Halloween," Dot said.
"Me neither," York agreed.
"Here they come!" Junior shouted. "HIDE!"
"Where? There's no place to go," Reese said. "Stay still."
A ghost and spider hovered over them and stared for what seemed like hours. The ghost reached out and grabbed Junior and Dot.
"AAAAH!" they screamed.
The spider wrapped one of its legs around York and Reese.
"NOOOO!" they yelled.
"Kids? Say 'Trick or Treat.' Say 'thank you.'"
"Trick or Treat! Thank you!" The ghost and spider dropped the candy in their bags, ran to their parents, and disappeared down the moonlit street.

Eating Healthy on a Budget
Finding and preparing health food when you have a tight budget can be a real challenge.
ChooseMyPlate.gov has lots of tips for eating healthy on a budget including tips on smart shopping, ideas for stretching your fruit and vegetable budget, along with meal and menu ideas.
Search for nutrition education
Some quick tips:
- Consider food purchases very carefully, and select highly nutritious foods. High-protein foods like hamburger, chicken keep you satisfied longer than starchy foods like bread, rice or pasta. You may save money if you cut down on the amount of meat, soda, prepared foods and snacks you buy. It can also help to plan meals that produce leftovers.
- Make some "grab and go" snacks and lunches when you have time so that you don't buy lunch just because you are in a rush.
- Use the Internet as a resource (most libraries have free access if you do not have a computer). Go online and search for "Thrifty Meals." Many other people are also thinking about how to save, use their experience to spark ideas.
- Use coupons and look for store specials. The Internet can help you find the best deal.
- Have potluck dinners with friends and family instead of going out.
- Research local farmers markets, food co-ops and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms where you can get vegetables inexpensively.
- Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The swim takes place at beautiful Jamestown beach where you can watch Osprey catch their breakfast or see a pod of dolphins swim along the course. The bike course is flat, fast and parallels the Cap-Cap bike trail along Rt. 5. The run course is simply amazing as it winds through historic farmland and forest on a combination of bike paths and jogging trails. Be sure to stay for the weekend to experience all that the greater Williamsburg area has to offer, including the new Billsburg Brewery, the Jamestown Settlement and so much MORE.

Ralcorp is rumored to be acquiring Post cereal from Kraft
NEW YORK Kraft Foods may be feeding its cereal to Ralcorp Holdings for about $2.8 billion, according to reports.
Kraft, the number 3 U.S. cereal maker, is rumored to be looking to sell its dry cereal brand, Post Cereals, which produces approximately two-dozen cereals. Ralcorp, a St. Louis-based company, sells store-brand cereals and other foods.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal will most likely consist of Kraft "spinning off the cereal business and then merging with Ralcorp, making it a stock-based deal."
Kraft said that rising commodity costs, strong competition and a decision to stop advertising sugary cereal to young children have hurt sales of Post cereals. According to the Journal report, "sales of Post cereal at food retailers (excluding Wal-Mart Stores) fell 2 percent, to $699 million in the first nine months of this year. During that period, sales in the overall ready-to-eat cereal category fell flat, at nearly $5 billion."
In January, Kraft sold several sectors, including its hot cereal business and several beverage products. Last year, the company sold its Milk-Bone and Minute Rice brands.
It is believed that Irene Rosenfeld, Kraft's chief executive officer, is trying to get rid of the company's glacially-paced products.
Kraft has not commented on the cereal-sale conjecture. The announcement of the company's third-quarter earnings results, posted last week, caused rumors to swirl.
The nation's biggest food and beverage maker posted better-than-expected revenue for its third quarter ended Sept. 30, but soaring dairy prices caused Kraft's profit to tumble 20 percent from the prior-year quarter, which also included a one-time gain. Revenue rose 10 percent, to $9.05 billion from $8.24 billion in Q3 2006. Net income fell to $596 million, down from $748 million.
Coors Light to again sponsor ING New York City Marathon
GOLDEN, Colo. Coors Brewing Company, Manhattan Beer Distributors and New York Road Runners on Wednesday announced today that Coors Light will be the official beer of the ING New York City Marathon 2007 for the third consecutive year.
Coors Light will sponsor parties throughout the New York City metro area and also will provide product to all hospitality events leading up to the race. Once again, Coors Light has developed unique ING New York City Marathon graphics for its cans and packaging, available in participating retail locations throughout the metro area.
Manhattan Beer Distributors, the largest Coors distributor in the United States, will make it possible for runners and spectators to enjoy refreshing Coors Light on Marathon Sunday, providing Coors products to more than 21,000 licensed retailers in metropolitan New York on marathon day.
Nestle outlines "extreme nutrition" build-up plan
LAUSANNE, Switzerland Nestle on Tuesday laid out its plan to become the world's largest provider of "extreme nutrition," building up its high-tech health foods, with recent takeovers of Gerber baby foods and Novartis Medical Nutrition helping catapult the company into the No. 2 food spot for babies, hospitals and "pro-active health seekers."
The world's largest food company now is providing healthy nutrition products for patients leaving the operating room, cancer patients and is addressing the rising incidence of diabetes and obesity. Nestle also is targeting consumers seeking healthy foods that prevent other maladies or can enhance athletic performance.
"We deal with consumers at the extreme: extremely old, extremely young, extremely frail, or extremely fit," said Richard Laube, head of Nestle Nutrition.
But integrating the recent takeovers into the group has its challenges that will keep the division busy if it aims to reach its profitability goal in two to three years, according to Laube. Changing formulas in medical foods, such as probiotics or protein levels for example, is more complicated than changed recipes for Nestle's name-brand foods.
The Nutrition division aims to lift its operating profit margin to 20 percent in the medium term from the 16.9 percent reported at end 2006. "We'll probably have two or three years in the 16 to 17 (percent) range as we integrate our acquisitions," Laube said. "We're on a nice glide path to 20 percent."

William deBuys is the author of A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest, newly released by Oxford University Press.
A woman from Zuni, the largest of New Mexico's Indian pueblos, said to a friend of mine, "Your culture values curiosity; ours values wonder."
Her judgment seems fair to me. As a non-Indian researching A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest, I was pretty much guilty as charged. The book prompted me to visit dozens of intriguing places, to learn about those places from the people who knew them best, and to indulge my curiosity with abandon.
As a longtime Southwesterner, I wasn't new to the riddles of the region, but the book gave me reason to probe them as far as energy and interest would allow, maybe not to out-and-out answers, but at least to a deepened understanding. In the company of a range ecologist, I went to the drought-stricken plains of Janos, Chihuahua, to study the dynamics of desert grasslands. Later I journeyed to the ruins of Sand Canyon Pueblo, near Cortez, Colorado, for a tutorial from a top archaeologist. A team of humanitarian activists guided me on migrant trails along the border, and in the bowels of Grand Canyon, with the Colorado River pounding by, I had opportunity to ponder the mysteries of western water in the company of experts. There were many other such journeys and quests, and each abounded in opportunities for curious inquiry.
But if curiosity was one of the horses pulling my wagon, wonder was the other. I never stopped wondering at the immensity of the sky and the chromatic beauty of the land. For me, the Southwest is the embodiment of a love affair between space and color. Every shimmering basin is rimmed by chipped-tooth mountains, blued with distance. The stars shine at night with the intensity of a shout. The sheer drama of the vistas can reduce an otherwise hard-nosed reporter to romantic babbling, but--let's be honest--a person would have to travel with his head in a sack not to marvel at the evening light on the summit of Mount Graham or the orgiastic fury of frogs when rains finally return to the desert.
Living in the Southwest also offers plenty of occasion to wonder at abstract things. The pretzled development of western water law, for instance, is at least as bizarre as the evolutionary history of the platypus. It's a case of cumulative cultural insanity and, in a twisted way, it is oddly wonderful.
Wonder has a dark side too. One day last June, at home in northern New Mexico, I received several e-mail messages about a fire that had just broken out near Los Alamos, about sixty miles across the great valley of the Rio Grande from where I live.
One message warned: "This could get ugly."
I grabbed binoculars, camera, and a spotting scope and drove to a highway turnout affording a view of the valley and the burning mountains beyond. I backed my truck to the overlook, let down the tailgate, and settled in to watch the show.
What I saw was horrific and inspiring at the same time. Volcano-like, a dirty brown plume surged up from the Jemez Mountains for tens of thousands of feet, past where jetliners fly, literally into the stratosphere. It blotted out the sun and filled the sky. I watched successive puffs of white smoke erupt downwind from the main burn--these were spot fires ignited by wind-borne brands. In less than a minute their smoke turned black (with volatilized unburned solids) as they exploded in heat and flame, eventually to merge with the ever-expanding main conflagration. Later analyses would say that in those early hours the Las Conchas fire consumed a patch of forest the size of a football field every second. In its first fourteen hours it burned 43,000 acres. Eventually it would grow larger than any fire in New Mexico's recorded history.
Awe is an extreme form of wonder, and the Las Conchas fire was an awesome sight. It showed the Oxygen Planet in the act of strutting its stuff, flexing its muscles, as only an oxygen planet can do. The fire engendered many tragedies, and many marvels as well. In one canyon it killed all the ponderosa pines (along with everything else) but didn't burn them. Not even the needles of the trees were consumed. Strangely, however, the needles were bent horizontally and all in the same direction, as though by a ferocious wind. No one really knows how those trees died, but one explanation holds that they were flash-blazed by a superheated wind, perhaps a collapsing column of fire, and that the wind had already burned up its supply of oxygen, so that it welded the trees, by heat alone, into their final posture of death.
An experienced forest ecologist who visited the canyon told me he had never seen this form of destruction before. Such evidence suggests that a new Southwest is currently being birthed from our changing climate, from levels of heat and dryness previously unknown, even here in the continent's hottest and driest region.
I think of the Southwest today as a Desdemona of the land. American society is her Othello, a headstrong fellow who has been deluded by tens of thousands of Iagos in the employ of Big Coal, Big Oil, and the ideological Right. This Othello does violence to his Desdemona through the strangle-grip of climate change, even as he loves her. It is a tragedy of classical dimension, heartbreaking at multiple levels and rooted in the moral blindness of its protagonist. Mere curiosity cannot explain it. As the woman from Zuni might say, you have to wonder.

Project update - done for now.
Good news, and bad news. The good news is that my carving lesson went well and I am happy with the results. The bad news is that the one section took me 6 hours, and there is no way I can have this gourd ready for the North Carolina show, because we leave tomorrow morning, and I have half a dozen errands to run today. I still have to paint, gold leaf and coil the rim before putting it together.
Gary is done, however. He just needs to seal the exterior and line the inside. His carving is exquisite, and yes I know I'm biased, but I've never seen anything as delicate and fine as his work.

Don't call me Scrooge!Posted: 23.10.2013 Filed under: Christmas, Lifestyle | Tags: Christmas, presents, Scrooge Leave a comment
Just because I anticipate this time of year with a heavy dread, doesn't mean I'm an awful person.
First some literary corrections.
Ebenezer Scrooge was a miser and was mean to everyone around him all year round.
He did have a heart and compassion (you can't just develop them overnight just because you've seen a ghost – or three…)
I, on the other hand am loving, generous, and openly compassionate (often wasted on the cold and heartless. Note: remember this in 2014) most of the year.
But… the next person that calls me Scrooge gets it. A full and foul outburst where I tell them they're stupid followers and mindless slaves to consumerism ("let's hock the house and buy our kids EVERYTHING they want honey!")
I've already bought one person I don't like a gift (an in-law); will probably be invited by my neighbour (who doesn't particularly like me; it's OK, it's mutual) for drinks and sent cards to more than three people who I have no feeling for whatsoever.
Is this Christmas spirit? Is this what we've come to understand and accept as festive cheer? You can keep it.
Not liking Christmas is not liking the hypocrisy, the lies, the stepped up budgets each year for presents and the expense. Yes it bloody well does all cost too much.
The few catalogues that come through my door have this smirking section at the back: 'Gifts for £1.99.' It reaches out to those either unwilling (because they're mean) or unable (because they're poor) to spend more. It makes you feel mean and poor. What the hell's wrong with a £1.99 gift?
Frankly I like giving gifts. But I don't like the duty of buying them. I've scaled it right down this year. I gave my daughter a list (because she asked for one) but insisted she buy from charity shops. I can't stand new stuff.
Every year I get called Scrooge when I'm checking my shopping out and complaining about the season (it's not a season, it's one day.)
Sure, let's have a feast and a family gathering. But do it without presents and cards (oh the bloody cards…)
(An aside about the cards. What's the point when the sender has just written their names and your family's names inside? No greeting, no kisses, no little note…)
For the cultural ripples that this one book left, I want to put Dickens in the stocks and fling tomatoes (or cheap presents – shower gel, mince pies, keyrings that beep…) at him.
I make a supreme effort every day to do right by my children and family. I serve them (yes, serve them) and consider them in everything I do. So is Christmas for those who feel guilty at having neglected their loved ones all year? Is it a sort of plea for forgiveness? ('Soz'…)
Yep I think it is.
The social manipulation and hoping to have me complicit in everyone else's own filthy Christmas apology requiring debt, grudge, resentment and bestial overeating is unwelcome.
To you, I'm Scrooge (have they even read the novel?); in my own eyes, I'm noisily and publicly rebelling against the one massive festive apology to our loved ones.
Scrooge for a day versus Scrooge all year round? I know which I'd vote for.
Enjoy!Posted: 23.10.2013 Filed under: Dining, Food and drink | Tags: culture, dining, food Leave a comment
Most cultures have a way of wishing you a good meal. Now, in England we've settled for, 'Enjoy!'
It all started while watching Jason and the Argonauts (original). The blind man feeds heartily for the first time and good Jason shouts, 'Good appetite!' Translated from the Greek I assume. Is this what the Greeks say?
I began thinking of Spain, France and Italy; their wish revolves around the food, your appetite, even exploiting what's on offer ('Que aproveches!') There's not a hint of having to enjoy anything. The implications of this are so far reaching I feel like throwing my lemon-scented, steamy facecloths at the waiter. Enjoy that!
My problems is that it requires some sort of specific personality trait. More than filling up on food. More than satisfying your appetite. It suggests a mood, a cheerful, smiling attitude while chewing; a smiley disposition, eyes dilated with happiness, a sort of frenzied joy. Can't I just chew and swallow in my own humble way?
And then the terror that they might ask if I enjoyed my meal. What happens if I just feel quietly pleased with the experience, if I didn't enjoy it in the way they mean? It'll give the impression that I'm a sour sod who just wants to be miserable.
My complaint is that it reflects on my character. It has such far-reaching implications about the way I lead my life. Such as, do I enjoy laughter or loving relationships? Do I enjoy any hobbies? Am I even lad to be alive? You don't need to bring personality into it when you eat. Caveman didn't. He ripped his mammoth meat from the bone, drooled and slavered and felt fortified and lucky if anything.
Let's not pretend that wishing companions well before they eat is any sort of tradition in this country. Let's accept that for millennia suede, bread and ale were got rid of as quickly as possible. (interestingly, we have 'Cheers' or 'Bottoms up' for drink…)
Maybe that's how such an unreasonable command came to precede eating here. To take our minds off the taste. To help us forget that we were eating bread and dripping or sparrow (beak intact).
OK that's unfair. The upper echelons of English society probably did enjoy every mouthful of venison, spit-roast hog, fruit, pie and julienne carrots. The rest might well have dreaded mealtimes. 'What's for dinner?' 'Bread and dripping…'
So the fake-established order to enjoy is out of place and for me unwanted.
Maybe I'm being awkward and impossible to please. Isn't it nice that we now have some sort of food-enjoyment-related quip from staff? No.
You can wish me, 'Good appetite' or tell me to 'Eat hearty' (White Christmas, ahhh…) Once you start demanding that I enjoy, my meal's ruined. I instantly feel I have the wrong personality for that establishment. They'd rather have bouncy, witty customers who can tell charming anecdotes and leave monumental tips.
I'm interested to know if most countries say something before eating. Or do most just hope to be satisfied and not poisoned by their meal?
So far, I haven't succumbed to this annoying phrase. Even at Christmas, we'll just probably wish each other well and tuck in. Seems a civilised thing to do in the face no tradition of anything better.

Separately, Patrick may help produce a taped "tell all" interview between Sheen and New York Yankee Nick Swisher. This morning, Sheen recounted the mother of all media interventions:"Basically, Viacom showed up at my house and said, 'Dude, it's getting really obvious and we're really worried about you. We don't give a rat's tooey about the show, we care about your health.' So they came in and just said, man to man, we have to shut it down.This is the only person in my life with the power to do this, and for that, I'm extremely grateful."Sheen said he has never been drunk or high on the Two and a Half Men set, but that a lack of sleep would lead him to do things like ask director Jamie Widdoes to move his mark closer to a piece of furniture. Just so he could lean on it and not fall down.Sheen is working with a personal trainer to get back in shape and says he is due to report to set March 1st to begin taping four final 2010-2011 season shows. As Johnny Carson used to say: "Crazy, crazy stuff." Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kAMSS3 copy Richard Horgan@hollywoodspinRichard Horgan is co-editor of Fishbowl. Adweek Adweek

Most assisted living communities measure satisfaction levels, NCAL report finds
The survey asked NCAL members how they rate family and resident satisfaction at their facility. Members were asked if they measured this through "their own view," "a different outside organization," an "internal satisfaction survey," or "not currently measured."
The report also found that 98% of NCAL facilities conducted criminal background checks for new employees in 2010, regardless or the size of the community or region.
Additionally, the survey reported that 94% of the facilities surveyed had a licensed nurse available to staff and residents 24 hours per day.

Our NFL Week 13 Betting Preview is here, and as the season continues it's becoming a sprint to the finish. At this point half the football league is either currently sitting in, or is jockeying for a post-season berth. But enough preamble, let's get right into Week 13's biggest games.
Seattle Seahawks (-1) at Minnesota Vikings – Critical NFC Game
This is probably the biggest game of the week. The 6-5 Seahawks, who currently occupy the second wildcard spot in the NFC, fly to Minnesota to take on rushing leader Adrian Peterson and the NFC North leading Vikings. Both teams are coming off impressive wins. The Vikings went into Atlanta and doubled up the Falcons 20-10, while Seattle engaged in arguably the week's craziest game as franchise QB Russell Wilson threw five TD passes to edge the Hawks past the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At a -1 spread, this is the closest game of the week. The Hawks have only two of their six wins away from CenturyLink field, while the Vikings have only lost once at home all year. However, this is the time of the year where the Seahawks shine. Every year in the back half of the season the Hawks put together a run to get themselves into the playoffs. After last week's thriller versus the Steelers many believe we're looking at history repeating itself.
And don't look now but the Hawks have a top 10 offense and top 10 defense. Seattle also matches up very well against second year Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater. He has only eight TD passes on the season which is just three more than Wilson had LAST GAME.
On the flip side, the Vikings come in with the number one rushing attack at a whopping 146.4 ground yards per game. By eating up clock, the Vikings can keep Wilson and Co. off the field and put strain on a Hawks defense which hasn't looked nearly as dominant as in years past.
This is going to be a tight one with both teams clambering for a playoff spot. With a -1 spread and 41.5 O/U, bookmakers are predicting a close, low scoring contest.
The Houston Texans (+3) at the Buffalo Bills – Pivotal AFC Game
In a game that doesn't really jump out at you, this might be the most pivotal game in the AFC this week. The Texans are rolling with four wins a row and are led by the NFL's best defensive player in J.J. Watt. On the flip side, the Bills have lost back-to-back but are coming home for the first time in nearly a month.
Neither team possesses a franchise QB so they both lean on their respective defenses to win games. The Bills haven't had a win streak of longer than two games all year, and they probably need to string one together right now in order to get back into a wildcard spot in the AFC.
The Texans have a share of the AFC South lead and are playing their best football of the season. They've had major injury issues on both sides of the ball which has hurt them to date. Star WR Deandre Hopkins is a matchup nightmare, and if the Bills can't create enough pass rush the Texans should be able to move the ball and eat up enough clock in this pivotal road game.
With an O/U of 41.5, oddsmakers expect a low scoring affair between two up-and-coming AFC teams.
Indianapolis Colts (+6.5) at the Pittsburgh Steelers – Both Teams Need Win
The Steelers are coming off a heartbreaker in Seattle and find themselves clinging to the second AFC wildcard spot. The Colts on the other hand, have a share of the AFC South lead and have gone 4-0 without franchise QB Andrew Luck under center.
Luck won't be on the field again as the Colts turn to 41 year old QB Matt Hasselbeck. The Steelers defense has struggled all year, but it does get the benefit of not having to face perennial MVP candidate Andrew Luck on Primetime. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger left last week's game with a concussion but all signs point to him playing. At home the Steelers are tough team to beat, and are in desperation mode as their only way into the playoffs is via the wildcard.
Road teams have covered over 65% of the time on Primetime, which makes you think the Colts have a shot at keeping this close. This is huge game for both teams as many believe that if either one of these teams can get into the playoffs, either one them can go on the road and challenge the Patriots or Broncos.

Midwest Company Makes Fusion Cloud Services Provider
By Maurice Nagle
Businesses today are tasked with transformation. I don't mean migrating from selling shoes to hats; the transformation is in reference to modernizing processes, workflows and overall operations. And, one technology taking the lead in that arena is the cloud. This once hypothetical thing, is today more tangible than ever and innovation is raising the bar for what the cloud can do.
This week, a leading Midwest company set its course for the cloud by way of Fusion. The major industrial company has been in business for over one hundred years, and with a history of providing cutting edge solutions covering the gamut of healthcare equipment and services, industrial applications for business, cryogenics, gases and more.
Over the next three years, Fusion will converge cloud voice services with a cloud network solution that connects 10 of the enterprise's locations. Illustrating Fusion's single source solution capability coupled with built-in disaster recovery routing and backup and determining factors for the selection, it now has a solution in place ready to meet the firm's needs today that can adapt to tomorrow's demands.
In addition to Fusion's expertise, the Midwest company's IT director noted excitement to work with a company that is willing to create a solution that matches the client's specific demands – another key factor in choosing the cloud services provider.
Senior Vice President of Sales at Fusion, told TMC, "This company has a long and enduring history of delivering a full complement of integrated industrial and service-based solutions to its customers. The company found the answer to its rapidly expanding requirements in Fusion's single source cloud solution, with built-in disaster recovery, converged with cloud access and cloud communications for a truly all-in solution. We look forward to growing with this leading enterprise as they evolve their requirements now and in the future."
Fusion can certainly fancy itself a future-forward company; a growing player in the cloud space, not afraid to place value in innovation or facilitate growth via acquisition to enhance its offerings.

Bishop Joseph Imesch had a true passion for helping those in need. Among his many accomplishments over the years in the Diocese of Joliet was the creation of three missions that, decades later, continue to touch many lives.
Joliet Diocesan Catholic Education Foundation - Established by Bishop Imesch in 1996 and dedicated to the advancement of Catholic education through scholarships to children of families with financial need.
Catholic Charities Daybreak Shelter in Joliet - Established in 1979 by Bishop Imesch to provide emergency services such as food, shelter and clothing to the homeless in the Joliet area. Bishop Imesch often served in the cafeteria at Daybreak and listened to the life stories of those he served.
Diocesan Mission Outreach - Established in 1994 by Bishop Imesch to serve the poor in Bolivia in support of the larger universal Church. Bishop Imesch actively participated on a number of mission trips. He also played a leadership role in establishing a hospital in Sucre, Bolivia.
Please consider making a donation to continue the apostolates initiated by Bishop Imesch and indicate where your donation should be directed by clicking on one of the following: Catholic Education Foundation, Daybreak Shelter or Mission Outreach.

You can request his Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF) at the following address: U.S. Army Human Resources Command, ATTN: AHRC-PAO (FOIA), 200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA 22332-0400.
I have gotten IDPF's for my cousins, who died during WWII and Korea. It usually takes about six months to recieve.
Included in these files are the date, place and how he died. Some can be gruesome (just a warning).

Please find attached (here) the calling notice for the club's AGM from 8pm on the 24th May downstairs at The Pub on the Park, on London Fields (function room called the Bears Den).
We have the room from 7.30pm and will be staring at 8pm.
The first 5 resolutions are club wide business. I anticipate these will take 15 mins to get through. We will then break for 15 mins (while the Exec Committee will appoint the Junior Committee & club wide positions and everyone else goes to the bar), then resume at 8.30pm with the Senior business and elections. This gives the opportunity for anyone from the Junior side to depart before the Senior elections take place, which may take a little while, should they so wish.
Our constitution can be found on the hackneyrfc.co.uk website under The Club>Policy and Document>HRFC Mems & Arts – 04 April 2014. The document has both the Memorandum and Articles of Association (AA). It is the Articles Of Association that is our constitution and if I make a reference to these later in this explanation it will be to the Articles, not the Memorandum.
Voting is club wide. So eligible voters from the youth section may vote on a resolution relating to the adult and vice versa.
Eligible voters (AA5):
From the Youth section (Hackney Bulls), an eligible voter is someone who has paid the youth membership fee or has been allocated a bursary for the season. If they are 16 or over they can vote in their own right. If they are under 16 an adult representative can vote on their behalf, each family having one vote in aggregate.
Proxies - The process for Proxies is laid out in AA60. If you are attending the meeting with proxies could you let me know before the meeting to ease the process.
Resolutions 1 & 2 adopting last years AGM notes and accounts. Please find attached here (AGM notes) and here (accounts).
Resolution 3 - Exec Committee. These are the clubs Directors. Four of these positions are voted in at the AGM: President (Roy Irwin, who has departed for New Zealand); Chair (Anthony Joseph); Treasurer (this position remained vacant all year) & Secretary (John Young).
The Junior and Senior Committees nominate one member each (usually the Chair of each) to the Exec.
Resolution 4 - Wiseman. Please see AA 108-112. The club has approx £17k in a development fund (which originally came from the bar profits prior to the clubhouse getting burnt down). The three Wisemen are to ensure that if any of this money is spent it is done so to develop the club and not to just cover operational shortfalls. Seth Brook's three-year tenure has come to an end and is willing to stand for another three years. Any other nominations to me, please.
Resolution 5 – permission to not have audited accounts. I'm not entirely sure if a charity needs to do this, a company certainly needs to. No harm in getting the motion passed and I can check later.
The Junior Committee. The Committee structure and composition are appointed by the Executive Committee, which will be done in the break in the AGM. There will be no vote on these in the AGM.
Clubwide appointed positions. Appointed by the Executive Committee. Safeguarding officer (Mary Impey), Club coaching Co-ordinator (Fred Pentecost) and Director of Women and Girls Rugby (Sagan Daniels).
The Senior Committee. Once the AGM has agreed the structure (resolution 6) the members will then be voted upon (resolution 7). The proposed structure (with incumbents) is:
Voted positions: Chair (Jess Cobb); Secretary (John Young); Treasurer (Andy Pilkington); Fixtures Sec (Paul Baker); Social Secretary (Claire-Aimee Grimshaw); Registration Secretary (Dan Worth); Web Officer (Ollie Relph); Club Captain (Patch Thompson); Ladies Captain (Emily Ryan); 1s Captain (Will Bowers); 2s Captain (Shaun Rooke); 3s Captain (Chris Reay); 4s Captain (Anthony Joseph).
Senior appointed positions: Tickets (Simon Ferguson); Discipline (Ollie Hart); 7s (PJ Lloyd); Tour (Jonny Crocket).
NB: where the names are highlighted I have been informed that person is not standing for re-election for that role. All elected roles are vacated and re-appointed.
If there are any other proposed resolutions could you send these to me (email@example.com) ASAP and I will slot into the appropriate half of the meeting and circulate.
Any queries, please let me know. Hopefully we will see you on the night.
John Young
Secretary – Hackney RFC

Isabela House (Construction Log 1) Plans and Site Inspection
His construction is located here:
We arranged for a visit from an engineer of the construction management company who will be responsible for our building project. Prior to the site visit we discussed the plans for our house and then measured out the room dimensions in our yard to get some idea the size of each area.
We have been heavily influence by the space we had become accustomed to back in Wokingham on two levels. For this project we are going for a single level but with an equivalent amount of space overall. The lanai at the back will have a balcony area above and there will be provision for a swimming pool, although our priority is the house. There will also be a second smaller property in which Gina's brother and his family will live and we will have a shared garden space. The lanai will be large enough for both families to eat together and there will be a barbecue close by.
We considered a number of designs before arriving at this one. In essence we wanted to maintain the double aspect look yet have the garage in front. The windows on the right wing are in fact the forward face of the garage, with the doors to one side. Unlike many of the designs you find in the Philippines we did not need a maid or driver room so that space we used for a playroom, music room and study. The pool is out of proportion but at this stage we simply wanted to see how it would fit to the rest of the design.
Our lot is wider at the front than the back. It effectively tapers from the barangay road until it meets the boundary of another lot behind at an angle, perfectly adquate for what we need since we will cultivate what we don't use for the property itself. The actual lot area of 7,500 sqm or three quarters of a hectare (10,000 sqm) has the dimensions 50.82m wide at the front (on the barangay road), 235.74m length on the rhs to the back of the lot, 178.36m on the lhs to the back of the lot, and 49.54m wide at the back of the lot.
On 20th August an engineer from the construction company came for a site inspection:

Stop Smoking Support
Since 2004, NHS Herefordshire has encouraged community pharmacists to offer smoking cessation ('stop smoking') advice and support. Since then many people have used this service in order to stop smoking.
This pharmacy based service offers an alternative to potential quitters, outside of normal GP surgery times and often no appointment is necessary. The attached sheet shows those pharmacies which provide support for people considering stopping smoking and an intensive support programme for patients at times to suit. If you are exempt from paying prescription charges then there will be no charge for this service.
