Art auction sales were down globally last year. London-based auction house Christie's recently reported a 27 percent decline in art sales from a year earlier—and a 36 percent drop from the market's peak two years ago. And New York-based Sotheby's has already reported a rather sharp decline. It reports art auction sales down 30 percent from the year before. Similarly, smaller boutique house Phillips said its own art auctions produced 1.5 percent less than the previous year.
While tried and true masterworks like Claude Monet's "Grainstock", Willem de Kooning's "Untitled XXV", and Pablo Picasso's cubist portrait of a "Seated Woman" did well garnering profits in the millions, other art categories suffered. Contemporary art was down significantly by 41 percent. Modern and impressionist art sales fell as well, by 50 percent.
While the decline of the art sales market is indeed sad, before calling the market a total loser, there are a few bright spots: Christie's sold 10 percent more art via private brokered sales and its sales of Old Master paintings, along with 19th-century art and Russian art, grew by 31 percent to $312 million.
While Guillaume Cerutti, Christie's new CEO, said the past year has been "challenging" he is optimistic sales will be on the rise going forward. Because a third of bidders last year were first-timers, he is confident they will be an uptick in the near future with a possible influx of new and repeat buyers. He told the WSJ, he plans to invest more in "collector hotspots" like Beijing and Los Angeles.
It's also optimistic to note that the art market is still very much alive in the U.S., with Christie's selling $2 billion in art in the states last year. [WSJ]

Lower Merion Township, PAHome Menu
Planning Commission
The purpose of the Planning Commission is to guide and direct land use and development at the municipal level. This is primarily achieved through the following two ways: (1) development and implementation of the municipal comprehensive plan and (2) through the reviews of land development proposals and municipal projects. The Planning Commission is an independent advisory body. It makes recommendations concerning land use and development directly to the municipal governing body, which is then charged with making the final land development decisions. The Pennsylvania MPC is the enabling legislation that grants municipal governing bodies the ability to create a planning commission and planning department.
The Township's Planning Commission is composed of seven members. The members are resident volunteers and are appointed by the Township Commissioners for a four-year term. The Planning Commission generally meets once a month.
The Township Planning Commission is supported by staff from the Planning Division of the Township's Building and Planning Department. One of the Department's three divisions (the other two being Building and Economic Development), the Planning Division responsibilities include the processing of land development and subdivision applications and overseeing the development of subdivision and zoning code amendments, in addition to preparing long-term planning projects.
- Past Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
- Lower Merion Township's Subdivision & Land Development Process

Nearly 250 student-musicians participate in All-County Music Festival
Inside a packed Watson Theater at Coker College, 249 student-musicians from across the Darlington County School District (DCSD) participated in the All-County Music Festival on Jan. 11.
The students study in several programs such as choral music, band and strings. A music instructor nominated each student based on musical knowledge, showmanship and talent. Participating students came from middle and high schools.
"I am extremely proud of our students on their performance this year," said Marisa Johnson, DCSD's coordinator of Arts and Innovative Programs. "We have so many talented students in Darlington County, and this festival highlights our brightest musicians. Their performance is proof that the arts matter in a child's life. The music instructors are to be commended for all of their hard work in preparing their students for this event."
The purpose of the All-County Music Festival is to broaden the music education of Darlington County students while providing opportunities for more advanced training in instrumental and vocal music through clinical study and performance. The annual festival provides students a chance to receive in-depth music instruction from guest clinicians, who are experts in their chosen music field.
Dr. Jerron Jorgensen, vocal music, and Leah Cordé, instrumental music, graciously served as guest clinicians.
Jorgensen is an assistant professor of voice and coordinator of vocal studies at Coker College. Jorgensen holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Voice Performance from The Hartt School, a Master of Music in Voice Performance from Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Voice from South Dakota State University. His résumé includes professional work as a soloist, chorister, director, teacher and arranger.
Cordé is in her 20th year of teaching and 12th year as director of bands at Kelly Mill Middle School in Blythewood. She holds a Master of Music with an emphasis in Conducting from the American Band College of Sam Houston State University and a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the University of South Carolina. She currently serves as president of the South Carolina Band Directors Association and serves on the executive board of the South Carolina Music Educators Association.
DCSD's very own Cole Davis, director of band and chorus at Mayo High School for Math, Science and Technology, and Jordan Jefferson from Clarendon School District 2 served as middle school clinicians. Cameron Watkins, director of bands for Hartsville High School, coordinated the event.

London – 10 November 2016: This week marks the launch of use a brand new online tool that will allow chefs to earn a globally recognised professional certification without even having to leave the kitchen.
WORLDCHEFS joined forces with the City & Guilds Group to create a new digital platform which allows chefs to be fully recognised for their experience gained whilst working in the industry. Using the tool, users can verify their expertise at nine different levels which include professional cook, master chefs, master pastry chef and culinary educator.
The WORLDCHEFS Global Culinary Certification enables experienced chefs, cooks and culinary educators, as well as students who are embarking on their career, to have their skills and experience validated by the industry professionals at WORLDCHEFS whilst earning the stamp of quality that the City & Guilds brand assures.
Best of all the certification will be recognised globally, literally serving up a world of opportunities to chefs who want to work internationally.
Kirstie Donnelly, Managing Director, City & Guilds said: "As people's palettes grow ever more adventurous, seeking out new and undiscovered cuisines, chefs from all corners of the globe are increasingly demand in countries other than their own.
"Having internationally recognised standards that are earned online and recognised across the world will allow chefs to travel wherever their talents are in demand and help employers across the globe access the skilled workforces they need.
"The WORLDCHEFS global culinary certification has been well received by governments around the world and applauded by the industry and we are really excited about its potential to raise global standards of culinary excellence."
The WORLDCHEFS certification offers a new way for employers to recruit staff and it assists with career development. It allows chefs to showcase their skills and experience online, using sharable digital 'badges' which can be displayed on social media and job sites, giving employers instant information on each candidate.
And it's not just for experienced chefs or their employers. Culinary schools can also use the system to certify trainee chefs and cooks finishing their studies, allowing them to demonstrate their skills to prospective employers when they hit the marketplace and giving them a competitive edge as they set out on their career.
The innovative on-line platform was designed by DigitalMe a company who work with teachers, charities and employers across the world to create a new digital currency that recognises people's skills and talents.
Thomas A. Gugler, President of WORLDCHEFS, said: "We are incredibly proud of the work we have done with City & Guilds. The industry has been crying out for a standard which reflects the highly mobile nature of the workforce. There are millions of highly talented chefs and cooks around the world who cannot afford to take time out from their busy jobs, but still want demonstrate the wealth of experience they have gained over the years. We also wanted to recognise the fantastic work done by culinary educators who nurture and inspire the future generation of the chefs.
"Our main aim is to have global equal opportunities and career aspects which enable chefs to work all around the globe with a reputed recognition, certification and with pride."

The launch of the all-electric Nissan Leaf in 2010 rocked the automotive world by becoming the first all-electric vehicle aimed at mainstream consumers. It made Nissan a true pioneer in the form of locomotion that is expected to gain significantly more traction in the years ahead and became the world's best-selling electric car.
Nissan continues its pursuit toward a clean-energy future with the new-and-improved 2018 Leaf, which not only picks up where the first model left off but also threatens to steal a march on Tesla, which plans to release its own mainstream-priced EV.
The new Leaf boasts, among other features, a range of about 150 miles—about 40 percent more than the first Leaf—along with self-parking technology and other autonomous-driving features. All of that for only about $30,000, which is about $5,000 less than the first Leaf, to retain its title as the most affordable mass-market EV in the world.
The next evolution of its zero-emission electric vehicle has been completely reinvented, combining greater range with a dynamic new design and advanced technologies which represent Nissan's technological leadership. It's part of Nissan's vision to move people to a better world and offers a new driving experience for customers, that is more exciting, more confident, more pleasurable and more efficient.
But turning over a new Leaf is only one of the reasons that automotive cognoscenti are betting on a further ascension of Nissan and Renault-Nissan.
In the US, for instance, Nissan has been leveraging the market's significant shift toward SUVs and crossover vehicles with strong sales by its hefty Armada SUV. Its significantly overhauled Titan pickup trucks also has been a strong seller lately.
And worldwide, the Renault-Nissan Alliance (which also includes Mitsubishi) is threatening the top spot in overall sales that is now held by Volkswagen and for which Toyota and General Motors also have been regular competitors.
Below, watch José Muñoz, Chief Performance Officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Chairman, Nissan North America, Inc., unveil the 2018 Nissan LEAF at a media event in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, immediately following the LEAF's global launch in Tokyo, Japan, where EVP Daniele Schillaci argued that the new Nissan Leaf isn't an EV but a model of intelligent mobility:

Furthermore, as anyone who lives in Greenburgh will agree, Greenburgh has an outstanding record in welcoming all religions, and I dispute any suggestion to the contrary. During my administration, numerous and diverse religious institutions have applied for and received approval for their projects. I have always maintained, and continue to maintain, that the Town would welcome the Fortress Bible Church at an appropriate and safe location in Greenburgh.
I will be discussing with the Town Board and the Town's attorneys an appeal of Judge Robinson's Order and Opinion.
How are leaves, composting and money linked?
Last year the Irvington DPW collected 2,000 tons of leaves in the Village. Dumping fees alone (not including labor, fuel, transport) cost $15/ton.
$15/ton x 2,000 tons = $30,000 ---YOUR TAXES!
Learn how to keep those leaves on your property and turn them into GOLD!!!! --high quality compost to fertilize your own garden beds and lawn.

Term 2 we have been focusing on Measurement.
We have done a lot of things in regards to Measurement where we came up with our own understanding of measurement tools.
Together as a class we came up with different sorts of measuring tools.
We used this information to then measure 10 different things around the class.
|Working on their measuring calculations
As soon as we finished exploring our classroom we went outside to find 10 other objects for us to measure.

In the last decade, the reality of law firms has changed dramatically, and will continue to change at an increased rate. Quite a few world experts even go so far as to predict the "death of the profession." Managing partners around the world feel every day that the rules of the game for success have changed and that their past success and the branding of the firms they are leading do not guarantee any future success.
Ayala Reuven Lelong, Madalina Racovitan
Ten factors have created these stormy "white waters" and are the main things that keep sleep away from executive partners:
First reason: technology is changing the rules of the game!
As for other consulting professions, developments in IT and Big Data are likely to dramatically affect law firms. In many of the services currently provided by law firms, the advent of technology will dramatically affect fees and cause significant cutting.
A clear example of this change is the introduction of a system called ROSS – the first digital lawyer. One of the firms that has already announced the use of this system is Baker & Hostetler, a reputable US based law firm. Ross is able to scan vast amounts of information, find connections based on existing laws, and even answer specific questions about files or guidelines that users have already entered.
Second reason: We have tough competition for every customer, customers are not loyal and want more for less!
The days have ended when clients came to law firms and agreed to pay high prices for expensive working hours. The aggressive competition in the market and the desire of today's client to get more significant added value for the money he or she pays has created new challenges for growth. If the customer feels that what he or she receives from the firm is a commodity, then he or she will look for the cheapest rate. Managing partners understand today that partners and managers in the firm must be much more proactive, enter new market sectors and use modern marketing methods, and know that in order to provide significant added value to the client, the law firm will need to know the client closely and the industry in which he or she operates. Proactive, creative and innovative – the challenge is that many partners do not have the appropriate set of skills or the motivation to achieve this.
Third reason: Generation Y and Z – we do not understand them and they are not with us!
We have all witnessed a significant change in the world of work since the Y generation entered the labor market about a decade ago. This change has continued as the Z generation have entered the last few years. These two generations are very motivational, global thinkers, entrepreneurs, lovers of change and moving quickly from one job to the next. Law firms must build strategic processes to attract, promote and retain the best in the firm and sustain high levels of enthusiasm and motivation. In addition, these generations do not intend to wait 15 years until they are promoted to be partners. Today, many managing partners understand that they cannot simply set wages and promotions to suit themselves. They understand that they must create a winning organizational value proposition for these workers and be more flexible to their wants and needs if they want the most talented to reach them and stay with them over time.
Fourth reason: My partners do not want to change!
Anyone familiar with the legal profession knows it to be conservative and "tough" on change. Many of the firm's partners feel they are respected experts in their field. They often do not internalize that the world is changing and that they have to adapt to the new world of work. It does not matter that all the red lights are lit – these partners still resist change and continue to stay in the well known comfort circle, failing to recognize that firms that do not plan effectively for the new world of work and do not invest in the right areas will disappear. And yet, the leadership of many firms often still does not know how to successfully cope with the conservatism and rigidity of their partners and encourage them to leave their comfort zone.
Fifth reason: Business organizations have set up legal departments
Many business organizations that have used the services of law firms have realized that it is cheaper to hire professionals in house. This makes it much more difficult for law firms, which must work harder to demonstrate that their professionals provide added value above what a client can achieve by using in-house talent. They will have to be sharp, creative, innovative and have a broad and in-depth perspective. However, not all partners are in this place.
Sixth reason: Our corporate culture is from the 19th century!
Leading global strategy companies have concluded that the most significant differentiation lies in the corporate culture of the firm. The challenge of most firms today is to build an organizational culture where people feel important and meaningful, and want to do the best they can for their clients. An organizational culture that has transparency, positive relationships, teamwork and concern for the wellbeing of managers and employees. An organizational culture where creativity and innovation are at the heart of professional endeavor. Many executives understand that their existing organizational culture is a long way from the one they have to build and that if they want to deliver a winning value proposition to their customers, they must do so as quickly as possible. However, this is a major shift, so many of them fail to convince their partners that organizational culture is important.
Seventh reason: I do not have partners and managers with a set of abilities suitable for the new world of work!
While in the past, managers and partners were promoted on the basis of professional abilities, today these capabilities are not enough. In today's complex and changing world, lifelong learning is at the heart of the success of partners and managers. Each partner must develop capabilities in five areas and become a "complete consultant": The first area is, of course, the professional field – their area of expertise. The second is the business and marketing field – the days when the partners would sit in the office and the customers would come to them have ended. Today, each partner must step out of his or her comfort zone to develop a set of capabilities and become a "marketing person" and a Trusted Advisor for his or her existing and future clients. The third area is the field of emotional intelligence – abilities such as emotional self-awareness, empathy, flexibility of thought and behavior, determination and motivation. The fourth area is technology. Lawyers will have to be smart users of existing technologies and even invent future technologies. The last area is leadership – a partner will have to become an inspiring leader who encourages his or her staff to follow and do the best they can. Managing partners around the world feel that there is a huge shortage of partners and managers with the "complete consultant" capabilities required for success in the new era of work. Moreover, executives feel that many partners have "fixed mindsets," meaning that it is impossible for them to develop this set of abilities.
Eighth reason: We have no inner motive force: vision, values and a sense of destiny.
The story of each organization consists of three parts: 1. The sense of mission – who are we? And what are we doing here? 2. Organizational vision – where are we going? 3. Organizational Values - What will guide us on the way?
Most partners in the various firms do not understand the importance of these ingredients, and subject them to ridicule and cynicism. Leading global strategic companies mark the "organizational story" as the most important driving force in a reality where change has become permanent and the water is turbulent. Most management partners understand that "the firm's story" is important, but they have no idea how to create it, and especially how to assimilate it, so that all partners and employees will "stir it up in the belly", behave according to its values and, above all, feel a sense of purpose and profound meaning.
Ninth reason: We are at the end of the shareholder era!
The business world has experienced the end of the shareholders' era and the beginning of a new era – the era of stakeholders. In the past, managers mainly thought about the short term, and especially about high returns for their shareholders – their partners. A new era is beginning. In this era, the firms that will achieve long term success will think of all their stakeholders – employees, suppliers and the community.
The tenth reason – I have no idea where to start
The language of the 21st century is still alien to many leaders. Many of the concepts of organizational culture, vision, sense of purpose, innovation and emotional intelligence sound like an incomprehensible language. Many managing partners feel that they have no idea where to start the change and how to connect the dots and so are still stuck in the past. At the same time, they realize that the hourglass has been reversed and that their time to prepare the firm for the future is limited. Richard Susskind, the author of reference books on the future of the profession, predicts that the profession will not die, but the coming decade will be a struggle for the survival of those who did not take the right steps to modernize. On the other hand, successful firms will welcome new technologies that will build a winning corporate culture, drive their partners and managers to develop the full set of capabilities of the consultant, and ultimately deliver a winning value proposition to employees and their clients. The remaining question is: how can this be achieved?
Ayala Reuven Lelong is an expert in the new world of work and leads strategic processes in Israel and around the world, assisting consulting firms and business companies to adapt themselves to the new era of work. Ayala has created tools for measurement and evaluation that measure the readiness of organizations and practices for the new work world and models for creating a winning corporate culture that suits the new reality and for developing the capabilities for the success in the 21st century. In recent years based on in-depth processes led by various organizations and practitioners, she has authored three books: White Water Paddling – Success in the 21st Century, Being Tomorrow's Doctor – Journey on Five Continents and Riding the White Water Rapids – The Story of My Success at KPMG.
Madalina Racovitan is a Tax Partner of KPMG in Romania and Head of the firm's People Services practice, which combines the work of Global Mobility, Payroll Outsourcing, Employment Law and Human Resources Advisory. A key area of focus for Madalina is the Future of Work, a KPMG framework aiming to assist clients in navigating throughout the 21st century challenges. The framework includes solutions in the attraction, development and retention of personnel as well as solutions targeted at organizational level (organizational culture, change management, organizational development and effectiveness, performance management).

Brookside Mall
Steeped in clouded nostalgia, open wounds and a weighty, permanent what-if, Preservation is Brookside Mall's sophomore effort. Gently defiant and grievously plainspoken, Preservation's nervous pangs and vulnerable inflections are an elegy for the in-between: Though its serpentine delivery is still marred by loss and naiveté, this album clutches at acceptance rather than longing for absolution. Teeming with raw melodies that have ossified with time and distance, Preservation is anthemic, maudlin and disaffected.

Fast-food Chain Wendy's Admits POS Security Breach
North American fast-food chain chain Wendy's confirmed that a recent data breach has hit around 300 of the burger chain's 5,500 franchised ...
North American fast-food chain chain Wendy's confirmed that a recent data breach has hit around 300 of the burger chain's 5,500 franchised stores, or about five per cent of all its restaurants in North America.
Wendy's issued the confirmation, five months after reports of a possible data breach. In January, reports about a possible point-of-sale (POS) data breach at an undisclosed number of locations affiliated with the Wendy's and its chain of quick-serve restaurants. On May 11, in its fiscal 2016 first-quarter financial report, the company officially confirmed that some of its locations were the victim of a POS data breach.
In its press release, Wendy's noted that the Aloha point of sale system installed in all company-operated restaurants and most franchise-operated restaurants was not impacted by the malicious activity.
"The company has worked aggressively with its investigator to identify the source of the malware and quantify the extent of the malicious cyber-attacks, and has disabled and eradicated the malware in affected restaurants," Wendy's stated. "The Company continues to work through a defined process with the payment card brands, its investigator and federal law enforcement authorities to complete the investigation."
Tod Beardsley, security research manager at cybersecurity specialist Rapid 7, believes the breach illustrates a number of recurring themes with point-of-sale system-based financial crime. "The length of time the compromise went undetected, then unmitigated, is troubling news for any retailer that depends on a third-party POS vendor for security."

Meet Shae! Shae has the sweetest personality. She prefers to be with people and would like a family that will include her in daily activities!
Maple is doing well. She started letting me pet her just a bit last night and now she is head butting me, arching her back for me to scratch her body length, and even rolling over for belly rubs, purring the whole time. She just started walking around the room in my presence a few minutes ago and is spending time near the door, curious about the rest of the house. She has made very significant progress in just a couple of days. I think soon enough she will be ruling the roost.
Mavis (previously Jewels)
We adopted a 4 month old kitten from POA at the end of August this year. Since you've seen her last, Mavis (previously known as Jewels), is now spending her days cuddling on her favorite fuzzy blanket, attentively watching birds outside from her favorite window-sill perch, and being spoiled by her grandma with fun new toys! She has grown from the tiny 4 lb kitten we brought home as into a healthy and strong adult. Mavis loves to play almost as much as she loves to nap, and she is fascinated by any kind of running water (she can't quite seem to figure out where it goes when it runs down the drain, and we sometimes catch her just staring into the bathroom sink). Above all else, she is very loved and we, her new parents, are lucky to have her. Mavis is the sweetest, most well-behaved, charming, and loving cat I have ever known. We would like to thank you all at POA and the foster parents for the amazing work you do.
To my dear family at POA, Martha, Manny and the rest of the staff I want to thank you for helping me get to my new forever home. I am enjoying my new digs; especially my window where I watch the birds at their feeder. My scratching post and hammock are pretty cool too. Lucy the dog doesn't bother me but I don't quite like her yet. Maggie and Mr. Brad think I am the bee's knees whatever that means. I wrap my self around their legs and purr a whole lot. They like when I do that. They love me lots and are taking good care of me. My new momma calls me her Kitty Girl but I am still your Claire.
Colette, now named Chloe
Colette, now named Chloe, has fully adjusted to our family. She and our male cat Crookshanks (who is about 7) are very fond of each other. It had taken less than 48 hours for them to get acquainted. Chloe is doing very well with her active playfulness and hefty appetite.

Bigger push into men's grooming may mean more dollars for retailers
WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT — Does Family Dollar's expansion of health and beauty items, which contributed to its overall inventory growth during the third quarter, and Ulta's plan to create men's grooming boutiques within most of its nearly 400 stores mean a new competitive threat for drug stores?
(THE NEWS: Inventories swell as Family Dollar boosts beauty. For the full story, click here.)
(THE NEWS: Report: Ulta seeks to bring men to stores with in-store boutiques. For the full story, click here.)
Family Dollar reported that a 25% boost in its health and beauty care product assortment at 5,000-of-its-6,900 stores helped fuel overall inventory growth and bolstered in-store traffic. A glimpse at Family Dollar's website also illustrates the retailer's effort to promote beauty. The site highlights such items as N.Y.C. New York Color makeup, CoverGirl Clean makeup, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, and Luster's Pink relaxer kit and glosser.
Meanwhile, Ulta's president and CEO Chuck Rubin told attendees of the Reuters Consumer and Retail Summit that it will carve out dedicated space — likely near the front of the store — for men's grooming products. Yes, the beauty retailer already sells such products, but pulling these items together into one area and placing them near the front of the store clearly represents an opportunity for Ulta to better reach him. Rubin acknowledged that the bulk of the items probably will still be purchased by a woman for the man in her life, but it isn't unrealistic to think that the initiative is bound to increase the number of men who shop the store.
And Ulta isn't alone in its efforts. Procter & Gamble teamed up with retailer H-E-B to implement the Men's Zone in select store locations. The store-within-a-store is specially tailored to meet his grooming needs, bringing together more than 530 personal care products for men. To further appeal to him, the Men's Zone has touchscreens so he can get grooming tips and discover new products and even has flat-screen TVs that can show sporting events or other information.
When looking at the numbers, it is evident why such retailers as Ulta and H-E-B are making a greater push into men's grooming. According to a Packaged Facts' report, "Men's Grooming Products: A Global Analysis," male-specific body wash, deodorant, hair gel, shaving cream, razors and moisturizers constitute one of those markets that now outpaces the overall beauty/grooming retail markets in many countries of the world. Valued at $19.7 billion worldwide in 2009, male-specific products are expected to mushroom to $28 billion by 2014.

Ahold appoints chief commercial development officer
AMSTERDAM — Ahold has tapped retail veteran James McCann to serve in the newly created role of chief commercial development officer.
McCann, who most recently served as executive director for Carrefour France and a member of Carrefour's group executive board, will focus on developing new and innovative ways to serve customer needs, build customer loyalty and broaden Ahold's offering. He also will be responsible for leading Ahold's e-commerce initiatives and will strengthen the company's online business globally.
In addition, McCann will play a key role in expanding the company's operations in new markets. In these capacities, he will work with the chief operating officers for Ahold Europe and Ahold USA divisions, according to Ahold CEO Dick Boer.
The Ahold supervisory board plans to nominate McCann for appointment to Ahold's corporate executive board at its annual shareholders meeting next April 17. Until that time, McCann will be an acting member of the corporate executive board.
Ahold's U.S. division operates such chains as Stop & Shop, Giant-Landover, Giant-Carlisle and Martin's.

No president has ever had so few Cabinet members confirmed at this late date, just as no president has been confronted with such open talk of assassination and impeachment.
Speaking of which, have you heard a single Democrat decry the talk of assassination? Have you heard a single Democrat denounce the violence carried out by so-called protesters?
The answer is no and no because Dems see the riots and threats of violence as legitimate expressions of disapproval — and convenient for their purposes. Their contribution to the "resistance" started when 70 Democrats boycotted Trump's inauguration and many senators boycotted confirmation hearings and votes. Maybe they'll soon throw rocks through windows.
The madness was on full display Monday night when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer boasted in a tweet from outside the Capitol that "While the GOP is pushing a vote on Betsy DeVos, the people are rallying outside. We're with them."
Think of that: the Democrats' leader walks out on his job to play the role of a man of the people in a staged demonstration. This is a party that has lost its mind, as well as its soul.
It is noteworthy that Schumer started the Trump era by talking about a willingness to work with the new president on infrastructure and other areas of common ground. It was too good to last.


text: Hello list, We have just implemented OWA as a pilot. Here is the problem description. I have a XP Pro workstation running IE 6. The browser is configured to use an internal proxy server which is running ISA server. The ISA server authenticates only users with access permissions. Both ISA and Exchange 2000 server are in the same domain, which is the accounts domain. The OWA folder "Exchange" has been configured to allow Plaintext and Windows CHAP. I have logged on as my user account which has access to my exchange mailbox and proxy. When I open the IE and type "server.domain.com/exchange", I am prompted to enter my username and password, I type in my username/password, the OWA page starts loading. But after a few seconds, IE challenges to enter the username and password for my proxy. AT this point, even if I enter the valid username and password IE keeps challenging again and again. After a few tries I can cancel this logon box for proxy and the OWA Inbox page is downloaded completely. This problem doesn't happen with Windows 2000 Pro running IE 5. Has anyone seen a similar problem with OWA, any inputs suggestions ..? Raj

Designing and remodeling your kitchen will be an thrilling experience, full of great decisions that may positively impact your life on a daily basis for years to come, or it may be a nightmare, plagued by price overruns, poor design, disruption and delays. Whether or not you are a connoisseur chef or a microwave chef, the kitchen is the guts of your own home. Additionally, residence life can be disrupted for months throughout remodeling so families must be ready for disruptions. In our survey, almost 20 p.c of general contractors lacked a state license or insurance coverage, and 9 {d018269200faa0a5b0c0105741cf130ed5c1f13983606e49a23ac9a7e251ee32} lacked both.
On the opposite aspect of the spectrum, those homeowners who wish to prepare dinner, host dinner parties or have babies would greatly benefit from an open kitchen layout with a big island. Devote more of your budget towards objects that last a very long time, equivalent to an oven or cooktop.
This kitchen install was proving rather more difficult than assembling the IKEA futon and chairs we purchased a number of years back. This award-profitable kitchen evokes the Old World whereas offering all the fashionable conveniences of up to date life. Reworking kitchens for greater than 20 years provides us the power to know the exact price, and allows us to ensure this value won't change until you make a change to the contract.
On your own kitchen design and transform inspiration, we invite you to check out some of our completed kitchen remodeling projects. Rely on extent of rework you should change the ground design, fixtures, walls, and ceilings and some times it id better to change the cupboards.
Occasionally, and relying on the home's present structure, a kitchen may be expanded into the dining room with base cupboards for storage. The principle concept of this kitchen design is to supply a place that is not solely for cooking, but the place on a regular basis social interplay can happen.

I recently returned for a adventure through New Mexico and Colorado. While on the trip I wanted to try some different techniques that I have been interested in. I wanted to try shooting images by the full moon - which makes them appear they are shot in during the day but the stars expose, painting with light at night , in camera double exposures and shooting with on camera flash with the white balance set to tungsten. I achieved a few images that I think are successful and many that were not but that is not the point. The point was to try different creative techniques and create something new and different while out shooting in nature.
I also learned through out the process once I got home that I had issues with the auto white balance in my D800. I had not noticed this issue before with the setting but upon post processing a # of my RAW images I began to see that blue cast. I can fix this in post processing but it is better to get it in camera so now my mission will be to work on getting a custom white balance setting set up in camera to resolve this issue.
Other then that I will be working on editing ,processing and creating new images for another month or so because we went to quite a few interesting locations. In New Mexico we visited Fort Union, Carlsbad Caverns, National Petroglyph site, White Sands and the Pueblo in Taos and in Colorado we camped at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and drove the West Elk mountain loop, just in time for the changing of the aspens and camped at Ruby Mountain campground - oh boy was that a colorful trip.
painting with light - stars and trees at campsite Ruby Mtn near Buena Vista,CO. The red is from the fire,blue from flashlight and yellow from the city of Buena Vista. 25 sec exposure at 3200 ISO while moving around with light.
double exposure in camera - mtns west of campsite - the blue cast is from the white balance in camera being off but I liked it
At our campsite a Sumner Lake in New Mexico- the moon was full and the stars were out so I decided to try out this technique. Due to the longer exposure I got some movement in the clouds from the winds that would not stop but it help the image I think.
This image is deep in the Carlsbad Caverns. I wanted to add more light to the scene because yes it is quite dark 80 stories down in the cave. I set the camera for tungsten light white balance and popped up my on camera flash and had at it. It was hard to get a good overall images to represent the size and the shapes created in the cave but I hope this one gives and idea of those things.

Yesterday, I took Alexander to the DPS for his driving permit.
And then I let him drive halfway home.
This morning, he drove us to school.
My stomach is still a bit queasy from the ride……
So I'm left wondering, how did all this happen? How is it possible that my youngest child will be 16 in less than two weeks? I'm not sure, considering in my mind, he is still this size:
Which reminds me – he's not. Of course, he's about two inches taller than me now, and it has become quite obvious that his growth is not slowing down anytime soon, as evidenced by the amount of grocery shopping I do almost every day, and the fact that his clothes, once again, are becoming increasingly ill-fitting. We made a trip to DSW on Sunday, so he could pick up a few new pairs of shoes that actually fit properly, weren't torn to shreds on one side from skateboarding, and will be acceptable to wear in public so he can attend his sister's high school graduation ceremony, which, conveniently, takes place the day after his birthday.
Next trip? New, properly fitting clothes for him. And you know how much teenage boys loooooove to go clothes shopping. Although, now that he can drive us there, it might make the trip a bit more bearable.
Might is the operative word. Wish me luck…….
S'More's Bars – adapted from Food and Wine/Cheryl Day
I'm not a marshmallow fan by any stretch, but I have to admit that I really liked these. The key is not to over-bake the brownie filling. Watch it closely after about 10 minutes – you really do want the center to appear underdone.
- 3 cups corn flake crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbs. packed light brown sugar
Brownie Filling
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- MAKE THE CRUST Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with foil, allowing 2 inches of overhang on two sides. In a medium bowl, using a fork, mix all of the ingredients until evenly moistened. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until lightly browned. Let cool completely. Leave the oven on.
- MAKE THE FILLING In a heatproof medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter with the chocolate over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs until smooth, then stir in the flour until just incorporated. Spread the batter evenly over the cooled crust. Bake for about 13 minutes, until the edge is set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- MAKE THE MERINGUE Preheat the broiler. In a heatproof medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until the whites are warm and the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk. Add the vanilla and cream of tartar and beat at medium speed until firm. Increase the speed to high and beat the meringue until stiff and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Mound the meringue on top of the filling, swirling it decoratively. Broil the meringue 8 inches from the heat until lightly browned at the tips, about 1 minute. Cut into bars and serve.

Japan, Thailand Eyeing Arms Deal
Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's P-1 patrol aircraft (photo : animesuki)
TOKYO -- Japan and Thailand are looking into a deal that would essentially make them limited defense partners.
Tokyo is considering a contract that would allow transfers of defense equipment to Thailand and call for technological cooperation with the country, people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
Thailand is interested in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's P-1 patrol aircraft and US-2 large amphibious rescue aircraft.
Japan wants to get between Beijing and Thailand's military government, and the cooperation deal could serve as an effective wedge.
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani on Tuesday will meet Prawit Wongsuwan, Thailand's deputy prime minister and defense minister, in Bangkok to discuss the defense equipment deal.
The contract, a prerequisite for exports of defense equipment from Japan, would require Thailand to get Japan's nod before transferring or using any of the supplied equipment and related technologies for purposes other than those initially set forth.
Japanese companies Kawasaki Heavy Industries and NEC in November participated in an international exhibition of defense equipment held in Bangkok that Prawit attended.
The P-1, made by Kawasaki, is used to detect submarines and other vessels. It uses NEC sound detection technology and a high-performance IHI engine. IHI is a Japanese heavy machinery specialist.
The US-2, produced by ShinMaywa Industries, is known for its advanced sea-landing capacity, low-speed flight and long range. Japan is also discussing a deal to export the aircraft to India.
Japan has one defense equipment contract with a Southeast Asian nation, the Philippines. Under the contract, Japan is to lease the MSDF's TC-90 training aircraft in expectation of search and rescue missions during disasters, humanitarian assistance runs, and warning and surveillance activities.
Japan is negotiating similar pacts with Malaysia and Indonesia.
The U.S. and Europe have put Thailand at arm's length since its military staged a coup in May 2014. Japan is concerned that China is exploiting the situation and trying to increase its influence. Some Japanese defense officials say China is trying to drive wedges of its own between members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It also has territorial and jurisdictional disputes in the South China Sea with a number of ASEAN members.
Japan has yet to overcome a variety of hurdles for defense equipment exports to other countries. Earlier this spring it lost an Australian submarine order to France. "The loss revealed our lack of marketing experience," a senior official at Japan's Defense Ministry said.
In April 2014, Japan replaced its so-called "three principles," which in principle banned arms exports. It is now trying to export defense equipment and participate in international weapons development programs.

JOHNSON, Jr., Allan Barrett (Al), age 72, died peacefully on the afternoon of April 12 at Hospice Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. Born on June 25, 1944 in New York City to Allan Barrett Johnson and Margaret Frances Carson Johnson, Allan grew up in Atlanta and attended North Fulton High School, graduating from The Westminster Schools. After earning a degree in economics from Yale University in 1966, Allan served at the Pentagon in the United States Army. He received the Army Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service and was a First Lieutenant when he was honorably discharged in 1969. Allan later attended Emory University and Georgia State University, studying business, finance, and law, earning multiple Master's level degrees and a law degree. Over the years, Allan worked for C & S Bank, was Director of Contracts and Procurement for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), and practiced law as a general attorney in solo practice before retiring and moving to Lawrenceville and later to Greensboro, Georgia. Allan was the oldest of four brothers, and he is survived by all three of his younger siblings: Samuel Carson Johnson, Charles Stewart Johnson (Kathi), and Jan James (Jim) Johnson (Florrie).

Family and friends will remember Allan for his love of the outdoors, camping and canoeing trips, summer weekends at the cabin, fishing on Johnson Lake, and watching the deer.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse 2014
As we wait for the 2017 Urus, the second coming of the Lamborghini SUV, and next year's yet-to-be-released replacement for the Gallardo, rumored to be called the Deimos, a Greek god of "terror," we have another special, high-performance derivative that pays tribute to the Blancpain Super Trofeo racecar. If it seems familiar, that's because it is. It features many of the same components found on the LP570-4 SuperTrofeo Stradale that came before it, and the LP570-4 Blancpain that came before that.
Squadra Corse refers to a new department within Lamborghini that manages all motorsport activities, enticing new owners and seasoned racers to compete within the Lamborghini marque, home to the only one-make all-wheel-drive series. As you would expect, the Gallardo Squadra Corse is very close to the racecar. They share the same rear wing, achieving, under the best aerodynamic conditions, three times the downforce of the Gallardo LP560-4, but it also slows the car's top speed down to 199 mph. Another element taken directly from the racecar is the quick-release, removable engine hood. Propulsion for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse comes courtesy of the 562-horsepower V-10 that first appeared in the new Superleggera. The Squadra Corse has a dry weight of just 2,954 pounds, also the same as the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. So, performance is on-par with the Superleggera, dashing to 62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds and 124 coming 6.8 seconds later.
Price: $240,000 (estimated)
Engine: 5.2-liter V-10
Horsepower: 562
0-62: 3.4 seconds
Top Speed: 199 mph
Transmission: 6-speed automated manual
Torque: 398 foot-pounds

The very popular 2 day Mental Health First Aid Course is to be offered in Walgett on the 24th and 25th June – hosted by the Anglican Counselling Service (ACS) in conjunction with the CWA.
ACS has offered this course throughout the region on a number of occasions and the response has always been very positive.
Fay Jackson, a well known advocate for mental health education will be the presenter. The aim of the course is to increase community awareness about mental health. It does not teach people to be therapists. Rather, it teaches how to recognise the symptoms of mental health problems, how to provide initial help and how to go about guiding a person towards appropriate professional help.
The number of people seeking professional counselling help from ACS for depression and related issues continues to increase. It is estimated that 20 per cent of the population will experience mental health problems in any one year.
There is a limit of 50 places in the Course and it is offered free of charge courtesy of funding from the Federal Government. Full attendance (12 hours) is required to receive the certificate.
The course will be held at the CWA Hall, Wee Waa Street from 9.00am – 5.00pm each day with lunch, morning and afternoon tea provided. Those wishing to attend will need to register by phoning ACS on 6765 2527 by 19th June 2008.
