Trade Talk Tuesday: With destROY #278
Its finals, so unfortunately I am only talking to a minority of DTers who are lucky enough to be in the big one. Actually, by the time I take into account this is a trade article, and not many people have 1 left, there is ever possibly I am only writing to 100 or so people.
Its finals, so unfortunately I am only talking to a minority of DTers who are lucky enough to be in the big one. Actually, by the time I take into account this is a trade article, and not many people have 1 left, there is ever possibly I am only writing to 100 or so people. In any case, if you have 1 or 2 left and are not in a final, lets use them to try and jump a few hundred spots in the rankings. Today I am going to focus on the Bombers and a popular "out" and offer a straight swap alternative.
Brent Stanton (454,900)
Name: Tom Rockliff
Price: 453,100
Av last 3: 128
AV last 5: 126
Opponent: Sydney
Thoughts: How many times have I tried to tell you its all about the Rockwizz. Yes I have a man crush etc. But why wouldn't I when he has single handily got me into the GF and to a respectable national ranking. Is it scary that his next game is against Sydney at their home ground? I say no, not with 10 straight 100 point scores with only 1 of them being under 110. You are going to have him next year so you might as well get to know him this week.
Jobe Watson (348,100)
Name: Daniel Cross
Price: 351,100
Av last 3: 98
AV last 5: 89
Opponent: Fremantle @ES
Thoughts: In the last 3 weeks Cross has not dropped below 92 and should get among what should be a feeding frenzy of points against the Dockers. His scoring has increased since the Dogs coaching staff changed and he is as close to a premium as you will get for this lowly price.
Dyson Heppell (325,900)
Name: Grant Birchall
Price: 324,700
Av last 3: 96
AV last 5: 86
Opponent: GC
Thoughts: Birch is coming off a handy 113 which makes it 2 hundred point scores in the last 3 weeks and he is coming up against the DT friendly Suns. Last time Birch went up against the GC he had a handy 101, so expect much the same this week.
Dale Thomas (376,200)
Name: Liam Shiels
Price: 364,800
Av last 3: 91
AV last 5: 89
Opponent: GC
Thoughts: Although Shiels has been inconsistent of late, the Suns provide the perfect platform to get some runs on the board in the week leading up to finals. In the last 4 weeks he has had 2 hundred point scores. The beauty of Shiels is he has a high ceiling with a number of scores over 130 during the year. Be warned: has been up and down, but it could pay off.
Well, this is the last Trade Talk for the year, so you know the routine by now. Use this as a forum to discuss all things trade, and help each other out to make the right decisions.

I started to ski 3 years ago at MT Washington. I had only ever skied one other time at another mountain all the way a cross the country. Last year I learned how to ski blue and black diamonds. This ski season, I would like to learn how to ski double blacks and how to ski the out back. If you are ever close to a ski mountain in the winter, I would recommend that you get a lesson and go skiing because it the best way to spend your winter.
I have only skied the terrain park once, and it did not go well. I ended up falling on the grind box because I was going too fast. I tried to slow down, but my legs split apart and I landed right on my back. siting on the chair lift hurt more than the fall.
This ski season the mountain is opening up earlier due to an early heavy snow fall. I am really excited to go skiing. Last year I missed quite a bit of skiing because we had to go thru rentals every ski day, but this year I got my own gear so I am ready to hit the slopes.

I found Erasing Hell to be a well throughout, easy to read, bible study on hell. In an age of political correctness Hell is a very unpopular idea – the idea of God eternally punishing and rejecting people doesn't sit easily with anyone. But the choice that we have is to either reinterpret what the Bible says about Hell to make it more palatable and God more understandable or we can accept what the Bible says about hell being a real place. Erasing Hell is not just a book that sets out to defend the existence of Hell in the light of Rob Bell's assertion that the only hell we face is hell on earth, but instead it is a very thoughtful book looking at what the bible says about hell and also asking the hard questions of what hell says about God.
I had expected this book to be more defensive, after all it is largely a response or reaction to Bell's book 'Love Wins' but yet this is not a book of gloating – Chan and Sprinkle find no joy in the existence of hell. Instead they invite us to allow God to be bigger than we can grasp or limit and spurs us on to action – if people really do face hell what are we going to do about it? Chan's book restores a reverence for God's word, awe of God's character, wonder at His grace and a call to evangelism. This is not only a book on doctrine but a call to believers to share God's grace.
Here are a few of the highlights:
- Erasing Hell on Universalism
"No passage in the Bible says that there will be a second chance after death to turn to Jesus. And that's frightening. It's frightening because the idea of an after-death conversion is the most important ingredient for the Universalist position. It makes or breaks this view. But there is no single passage in the Bible that describes, hints at, hopes for, or suggests that someone who dies without following Jesus in this life will have an opportunity to do so after death."
- Erasing Hell on Bell's theory that Gehenna is a rubbish pit outside Jerusalem
"Much of what Bell says about hell relies upon a legend from the Middle Ages"
- Erasing Hell on hell being more than just a doctrine
"It forces me back to a sobering reality: This is not just about doctrine; it's about destines. And if you're reading this book and wrestling with what the Bible says about hell, you cannot let this be a mere academic exercise. You must let Jesus' very real teaching on hell sober you up. You must let Jesus' words reconfigure the way you live, the way you talk, and the way you see the world and the people around you."
- Erasing Hell on understanding God's character
"God never asked us to figure out His justice or to see if His way of doing things is morally right. He has only asked us to embrace His word and bow the knee, to tremble at His word, as Isaiah says (66.2). Don't get so lost in deciphering that you forget to tremble.
"God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don't have the license to define love according to our own standards."
"Hell is the backdrop that reveals the profound and unbelievable grace of the cross."
- Erasing Hell on hell being a real place
"All I know is that from my best understanding of Scripture, hell is real place for those who choose to reject God. Yet God is not licking His chops looking for any poor soul that He can send to hell.

My 21-year old daughter had scoliosis surgery nearly 3 years ago, with rods placed between T2 -T12. The lower portion of the outside rod has formed a bursitis and needs to be removed. Has anyone else experienced this?
My 21-year old daughter had scoliosis surgery nearly 3 years ago, with rods placed between T2 -T12. The lower portion of the outside rod has formed a bursitis and needs to be removed. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have. I had the bars put in when I was 11 or 12. The rods were put in and then about a year later I fell down playing with some cousin's and when I got up I had a huge fluid filled lump on the top of the insision. They told me that my body literally rejected the bars. The only reason they caught it was because of my fall. They took them out and fused from T2 to T 12. The fusion has held so far without many problems. Mostly arthritis problems in the spine but thats about it. Let me know if I can be of any help :-)
26 years old. Diagnosed with severe Scoliosis/Kyphosis and CMT at the age of 8. Have had a total of 6 surgeries, 4 on my spine and 2 on both of my feet. Including rod removal surgery. I am fused from T-2 to T-12.
I had my surgery when I was 15 (17 years ago). About two years later, my body rejected the rods and I developed an infection and had them removed. The second surgery was defenitely less extreme than the first and not as hard on the body, but still, it's surgery. I didn't have any real pain or problems until about 10 years ago. It gradually gets worse over the years.
what are the type of rods that you all had these experiences with? my girl is going in for the surgery and i am worried about them being in her body for the rest of her life. how rare are complication and are there other types of rods they can use that may be better if requested? do spines stay straight after the rods are taken out?
if anyone wants to answer me direct: email@example.com
"It's what you value, not what you have that makes you rich."
My daughter has two rods and thirteen screws and is recurving. We took her to new Drs at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and they want to take them out and put in longer ones! they acted like taking them out was not to big a deal.
You said your daughter is recurving. Does that mean her spine is curving where it was before surgery, or is her spine curving above or below her fusion?

What You'll Get
Hungry stomachs are forced to contemplate cooking their own food while our brains are busy plotting ways to make Hollywood starlets fall in love with our ungainly cousins. Quell an insurgent appetite with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of food and drink at Harry's Food and Cocktails. The restaurant's downtown location makes it an excellent pre- and post-game option for watching the Twins shower the city in synchronized home runs, make daring double plays, and speak to each other in their creepy twin language.
Harry's Food and Cocktails recently coronated Ryan Stechschulte as its new chef after he proved the only applicant capable of pulling the chef's knife from its enchanted cutlery block (in accordance with the prophecy). Ryan's updated menu features an eclectic selection of steaks, chops, seafood, burgers, and more. Start with an order of poutine (house-cut french fries topped with cheese curds, pickles, and onion gravy, $9.95) or opt for a more continental beginning with an order of mussels sautéed in white wine ($10.95) or grilled asparagus ($8.95) drizzled with truffle oil, crowned with parmesan, and served with a soft-boiled egg. Lunchtimers can savor the gooey barbecue pork, pepper-jack cheese, and jalapeño-relish-covered cowboy burger ($14.95) made from Angus chuck or impress the Bavarian polka virtuoso of their dreams by ordering a liverwurst sandwich ($9.95). The beef stroganoff with roasted mushrooms and crème fraîche ($15.95) and the seared duck breast ($22.95) with potato dumplings and wilted greens will quell carnivorous cravings, and aquaphiles will find much to love in the red snapper with grits and sweet-pepper sausage ($17.95). Finally, impress your date with a dignified dessert by alternately slamming your face into a toasted fluffer-nutter sandwich, with house-made marshmallow and redskin peanut butter topped with malted vanilla ice cream ($6.95), and a caramelized banana split, with vanilla ice cream, salted caramel, and Chantilly cream ($7.95).
Sipping on one of Harry's classic cocktails such as the rum-based Havana Sidecar (Cointreau, fresh-squeezed lemon, and a sugar rim) will give you an air of the debonair as you sit at the expansive bar and watch the open kitchen through its retro white-tiled Proscenium arch. You'll get to watch the chefs prepare each meal and re-enact episodes of your favorite sitcoms. Or retreat to the eatery's tree-lined outdoor patio with a Drifter Pale Ale on tap, or a seasonal libation such as Harry's cranberry cocktail (vodka, cranberry, and cinnamon sauce) in hand when former boyfriends or driving instructors unexpectedly enter the restaurant. Reservations are recommended, so have your butler formally announce you like he does every time you enter a public restroom.
The Downtown Journal mentions new chef Ryan Stechschulte:
- Stechschulte's first goal as executive chef, then, is to re-establish a culinary identity for the Washington Avenue restaurant...And while it may not be traditionally German, the new Fluffernutter sandwich has been an early crowd pleaser. The dessert is a bite-sized sandwich, with housemade red skin peanut butter and housemade marshmallows squeezed between a few slices of buttered Texas toast. It comes with a scoop of Sebastian Joe's malted vanilla ice cream, which is dusted in milled peanut brittle. – Gregory J. Scott
Nearly 100 OpenTable users and five Citysearchers give Harry's four stars, TripAdvisors give it 3.5, Yelpers give it three, and 73% of Urbanspooners like it:
- Harry's Food and Cocktails offers an unusual blend of better-than-average food, pleasantly spacious booths, casual yet "classy" atmosphere (only slightly retro), and friendly professional servers. – OpenTable user who dined on 2/16/10
- Harry's is clicking on all cylinders. I've been there many times and have tried almost everything on the menu and have not been disappointed. – joe48, Citysearch

"Cartoons and graphics are not real art. You'll never go anywhere with this kind of crap."
That was the final summation by the Program Director of a magnet high school art program I was interviewing for in suburban Maryland. I was a teeny 8th grader with a scrappy "portfolio" (that would be a high compliment) of comic strips with emphasis on funky bubble typography.
I was never good at realism; I grew up re-drawing my favorite comic strips and carton characters since before I can even remember. I was drawn to their graphicness, simplicity, stories and character personalities.
I left feeling offended, confused and lost.
Lucky for me, I returned to my 8th grade art class next week to Career Day, where our teacher, Ms. Mullican (who pushed me to apply for the magnet program in the first place), brought in a professional who created things like books, illustrations and logos. He was what was called "a Graphic Designer". My mind was blown. "Wait - there is a career that combines drawing and these letters I have some strange affinity for? Someone got somewhere with what I was told last week was crap? There is a name for that?" That was it, I was in.
But as much as I felt kind of crushed by the brashness of that Old Curmudgeon Program Directors words I felt equally challenged. Not in an F-U kind of way. I transformed that challenge in to the drive for another challenge. Several, actually.
The challenge to make something that "cant be done", or a client can't realize on their own. The challenge to make something real, tangible, that exists at first in the mind and eventually as a tangible product. Challenge to use graphics, simplicity, story-telling, personality and problem solving to go somewhere; to enable a product or service make a real difference to the people who it is meant for.
A decade and a half later, I am still grateful for Ms Mullican and the Old Curmudgeon.

It's time for our MLB handicapping professional to once again share his two top totals picks of the day. Go inside to find out what those MLB picks are and why he chose them.
Cubs (Lester) vs. Reds (DeScalfani) 7:10 PM ET
John Lester has seen his last three starts all go under the total. During those outings, Lester posted a stellar 2.86 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The veteran southpaw has gone 19-10 (65.6%) under the total during his starts in 2015. The Cubs have gone under the total in each of their previous seven, and those contests averaged a combined 4.0 runs scored per game. The Cubbies had a horrible .547 OPS during that seven game stretch, and also a poor .194 team batting average as well.
Anthony DeScalfani hasn't been sharp during his last two outings. However, DeScalfani has pitched extremely well in four stars against the Cubs this season, posting a sparkling 1.88 ERA, and none of those games went over the total. Cincinnati enters today on a ten game losing streak, and has averaged a paltry 2.2 runs scored per outing during that futile stretch.
This has the earmarks of a low scoring game, and I'm going to follow that path when making one of my MLB picks today. When deciphering all of Wednesday's MLB odds, 5Dimes required the least amount of juice for this specific wager.
MLB Pick: Cubs & Reds Under 7.5 (-115) at 5Dimes
[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":754005, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,93,92,238,349], "LineTypeId":3, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]
Tigers (Boyd) vs. Rangers (Gallardo) 8:05 PM ET
Matt Boyd has pitched markedly better during recent starts, but I still bestow little faith in him. The Tigers southpaw has gone 0-4 in his road team starts this season with a mammoth 9.87 ERA, 2.20 WHIP, and surrendered 6 home runs in just 17 1/3 innings pitched. Detroit has seen only nine of their previous twenty-nine games stay under the total. They've also gone 46-27 (63%) over the total on the road this year.
Yovani Gallardo has displayed bad form in his previous three starts. During that stretch, Gallardo posted a large 6.43 ERA and a massive 2.07 WHIP. Texas has seen just two of their previous sixteen games stay under the total. The Rangers have averaged 6.3 runs per game and compiled an impressive .808 OPS in their last seven.
The first two games of this series have produced a combined 24 runs scored. There's no reason to believe that high scoring trend will change on Wednesday with all things being considered.
MLB Pick: Tigers & Rangers Over 9.0 (-115) at Bovada

To participate in "The 400 Short Film Fest 2014" which will take place in the period between November 18, 2014 and November 23, 2014 download the application with its attachments here (Announcement 2014).
The Cultural Association "400" organizes for the next month of November the second edition of "The 400 Short Film Fest", an international festival of short films.
The festival aims to promote, spread and valorise the cinema works made from both new talents and professionals of this field, through a review that will end with an awarding ceremony as prizes wait the short movies that will prove to excel in each category, as best direction, best acting, best script and so on… The presence of a prestigious jury of quality, which will be attended by numerous artists, members and leaders of the National – and sometimes International – film industry, represent a significant added value to this cultural event, whose basis is our bet to offer once again an International festival that has shown to work well in the past; all born from our passion for the big screen and the charm of this noble art that is cinema.
We rely on a team of people who is not acting for profit, but rather to enhance and in some way "relaunch" film culture, first locally, later institutionally. It will be a festival of quality that, as in the past years, will propose the participation among the audience, as well as in the aforementioned jury, of influential personalities from the cinema world: artists who represented, represent and will continue to represent the whole Nation and also are historical and essential landmarks of our film industry in the whole world. There will also be interventions by representatives of institutions, organs close to us in the realization of this event and, at the same time, promoters and supporters at a social level of the cinema as an artistic / cultural instrument.

Kevin Koe and his team of Kennedy, Brent Laing and Ben Hebert said they're kind of at the awkward stage of being an Olympic curling team. They're still celebrating. But they know it's now time to get serious.
CAMROSE — Kevin Koe lost his first game of the final Pinty's Grand Slam of Curling Series here Wednesday morning to Bruce Mouat of Great Britain.
That might be a good thing.
The night before, there was a bon voyage party for Koe's Canadian Men's Olympic team headed to Pyeongchang once the Meridian Canadian Open is done this week.
"Some of our sponsors and Sportsnet put it together. They're helping members of our families to go over to the Olympics with us. It was an appreciation from us for that. It was good," said Koe.
Losing to the Great Britain Olympic team in the morning? Not so much.
"We just struggled a little big early in the game. We just weren't solid," said the skip.
"It's tough," added third Marc Kennedy. "You put all that time and effort into the trials. You reach the point where we reached today, I guess, where you have to tell yourself: 'You've only done half the job. We have to get to Korea totally ready to do the other half of the job and bring home that medal.' "
Koe and his team of Kennedy, Brent Laing and Ben Hebert said they're kind of at the awkward stage of being an Olympic curling team. They're still celebrating. But they know it's now time to get serious.
"It's been a great feeling," said the skip. "It's been a bit of a whirlwind but obviously it felt great. Now it's starting to feel a little more real. And it'll keep going like that until we get closer.
"Here, we're getting a lot of congratulations and you can really feel how everyone is pulling for you. It feels great."
For Koe, there's added satisfaction, of course.
"It's kind of happiness and relief at the same time," he said of gassing his old team of Pat Simmons, Carter Rycroft and Nolan Thiessen right after they won the Brier, giving up the chance to skip the first Team Canada at the Brier, to form this team. "Some people thought I was crazy. But it was what I decided to do and I didn't look back on it with any regrets even when my old team went back as Team Canada and won that Brier. It worked out with them too. They were able to get another Brier out of it.
"But it is rewarding to see all it come together. It was rewarding a couple of years ago when we won the Worlds."
For Kennedy and Herbert, it's a return to the Olympics. They won gold with Kevin Martin of Edmonton at Vancouver 2010.
"Having been through this before, I know you have to take time to let it set in. We worked hard for four years for it to come together. You need to time to let it settle and spend time with your family," said Kennedy, a St. Albert product. "Winning in Edmonton was mostly about me. I wanted to get to the Olympics. This one was more about the people around me. I had some people on the team that I really wanted to go to the Olympics, too, and that was my major motivation.
"It was a bit different than after we won the Roar of the Rings Olympic Trials eight years ago in Edmonton. Part of that was because I knew what to expect at the end of the week. I knew what it would feel like and I knew what the nerves and pressure would be. Having experienced that pressure in Edmonton prepared us for that and I think it made a big difference."
So far, Koe said the team doesn't feel any added pressure.
"We've been Team Canada before and won a couple world championships. Obviously, this is a much bigger event with way more eyes on it but this team has done well in big events, so we'll just kind of stick with what we've done and we should be O.K."
And when it comes to putting together a plan, Koe has the added advantage of having Kennedy and Hebert as former Olympians.
"Experience never hurts, especially when it's good experience. We can rely on that a little bit," he said. "We knew the value of taking a good break over Christmas and using the Continental Cup in London to get back on the ice and get our legs back a little bit and using this one to get a little more serious and start playing well again. Then we'll head over to Japan for a training camp and get over the jet lag before we go to Korea," said Kennedy.
As was the case for last year's Brier in St. John's, NL., they're taking former Ferbey Four second Scott Pfeifer over as a fifth and have also added 2014 Olympic gold medal skip Jennifer Jones as an unofficial consultant.
Jones, of course, is married to second Brent Laing.
"She's coming," reported the curler who went to Sochi, Russia with her four years ago. "There's a lot we can ask her about the village and the Canadian Olympic Committee and working with all the people and how to deal with all the distractions. Being there as a fan was huge for me. It was motivating."

Better Than Reese's: How To Make Chocolate Nut Butter Cups Without Toxic Additives
This article is shared with permission from our friends, Jenni + Mimi, Registered Holistic Nutritionists and founders of at The Naughty Nutritionists. Download your FREE copy of the "Metabolism Reset Guide" … for 10 easy steps to reset your body for optimal energy, sustained weight loss and an amazing summer season! Download here!
This is definitely one of those 'eat this instead of that' recipes. If you are a Reese's Cups lover, you absolutely need to test out this recipe. It is your healthified version of the candy bar that you know and love. Plus, this recipe is so simple to make, you can make it in huge batches and freeze (so you don't need to keep running to the store) and it is much better for you. It has no dairy, it is low in sugar, and it is high in protein, which means that a few bites will do. We might be ditching our processed chocolate bars for a home made one, but does it really have any other health benefits? Why yes, yes it does:
5 Benefits of Eating these Nut Butter Cups and Ditching the Reese:
- High protein from nuts! Do you ever notice an afternoon slump, or that sugar craving that just won't quit post lunch? It usually means your blood sugars are crashing causing cravings, tired and hunger. The best (and healthiest) way to nip it in the bud is protein and some healthy fats. That's why munching on a handful of nuts can come in handy when you're starting to feel peckish. Protein leaves you feeling full for a great chunk of time.
- Low sugar snack. Usually when blood sugar dips, and hunger kicks in- especially hunger for a sweet treat; we tend to reach for something that is jam packed with sugar (muffin/pastry/candy bar etc.). These options don't actually leave you full and just promote your blood sugar to become out of whack again. A low sugar/high protein snack will help balance those blood sugars and hopefully help you look towards eating a healthy meal.
- Coconut oil. Most nutrition blogs will talk a great deal about coconut oil, and why not? Not only is it good for you skin, your teeth, your hair, but it is also an incredible oil to add to your food. Contrary to popular belief the Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCTs) found in coconut oil can help speed up your metabolism, aiding in weight loss. It can help with bone health, fatigue, acid reflux and helps strengthen the liver. These are just a few benefits that coconut oil has to offer.
- Bite sized. Having a pre-packaged bite sized snack to munch on post lunch is a great thing. You pack 3, you only have an option of eating 3 and by the time you are done you wont need any more. It doesn't leave you with that awful sugar spike and crash. This means you can kiss your need to mow down goodbye.
- Easy to prep, easy to take on the go. This doesn't need much explaining. When something is easy to make, it makes it much easier to pack it up and leave the house with it ready to eat for when your body is telling you to pick up a snack. This makes walking to the convenience store or vending machine to pick up something that offers no nutritional a lot less likely.
Salted Chocolate Nut Butter Cups
This is your healthified version of the Reese candy bar that you know and love.
- 3/4 cup almond flour/ meal
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour or brown rice flour
- 2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter or sunflower butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips 70%+
- 1 heaping tablespoon coconut oil
- salt
Mix the base in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
Place in muffin liners evenly and place in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes to harden.
Prepare chocolate topping by microwaving chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring in between. Microwave until liquid then place coconut oil and stir.
Top each peanut butter cup with chocolate.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt on each cup.
Place in the fridge for a few hours until chocolate solidifies (about 2 hours).
For Truffles:
Roll peanut butter into balls.
Dip in melted chocolate/coconut oil mixture
Place on parchment paper baking sheet.
Sprinkle with salt.
Place in fridge until hardened (about 2 hours).
Let them cool completely before enjoying. Double or triple the recipe for leftovers to enjoy for days.

Aspects of a proposal to replace Half Price Books with a potential coffee shop were tabled by Mentor Planning Commission at the last meeting.
Some commission members raised questions during a public hearing on conditional-use permits required for a drive-through and outdoor patio to accompany the new tenant.
Concerns mainly involved circulation of traffic in and around the site at the southeast corner of Heisley Road and Route 20.
Commission member Joseph Sidoti sought assurance that a sign would be posted indicating that the exit onto Route 20 would be clearly marked as right-turn only.
Property Manager Robyn Liberatore said a prominent sign would be installed.
The size of the drive-through lane also was at issue.
"We don't usually have a bypass lane on three sides of a building," commission member Katherine Cimperman said. "To me, this is just way, way too much traffic for a drive-through."
She also questioned whether traffic would follow the drive-though lane around the building if approaching from the north. The lane would be on the north side of the building and the pickup window on the west.
"I'm just going to scoot into the drive-through lane and place my order, rather than going all the way around the building to get into the queue," Cimperman said.
Access to the patio, which would take up a portion of sidewalk, also was her concern.
Liberatore said the site plans could be revised in response to the comments.
Commission Chairman William Snow asked that both permits be tabled in the meantime.
"I think we need to see a more definitive approach than what we're seeing here tonight, and maybe some of those questions can be answered," he said.
The patio conditional-use permit was unanimously tabled. Cimperman dissented on tabling the drive-through CUP.
Prior to the votes, Liberatore provided more details on the project.
She said the drive-through is a key selling point to attract good tenants after the bookstore closes, at the end of the day Jan. 3. Three to four tenant spaces would be created out of the building fronting Heisley Pointe Plaza.
"I know that people have been quick to speculate Starbucks is moving, but we have entertained a number of proposals from quick-service restaurants and financial institutions all seeking to have a drive-through," Liberatore said.
She said a fast food restaurant isn't among the options being considered.
"While Half Price Books has been a well-known and stable tenant, they have not been a generator of traffic, and the back building — the main strip building — has somewhat suffered as a result of that.
"We currently have six vacant spaces, and we believe by attracting a more desirable tenant with higher traffic counts that it will serve as a catalyst to attract better tenants to the main strip, and we would like to renovate that in the next couple of years."
Facade improvements are planned to the bookstore building as well, and the project must receive re-imaging approval from the commission.
"At this point, we would like to have some level of assurance to move forward with our prospects for the west end cap that the drive-through will be able to go forward," Liberatore said.
The coffee shop would occupy 2,200 square feet at the western end of the 8,000-square-foot building.
The proposed hours would be from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., Mondays through Fridays; and from 5 a.m. to midnight, Saturdays and Sundays. The store would have four to six employees per shift.
Four to six tables would be within the patio area There would be total seating for approximately 36-50 customers.
Sidoti asked whether Half Price Books would be relocating. Liberatore said not according to her information.
"They are going to keep Mayfield Heights open," she said. "They are doing this in conjunction with the expiration of their (Mentor) lease. I'm not sure how long Mayfield has left on their lease, but part of it is that their inventory intake is basically used books and they have struggled over the past couple of years to get inventory in. They have moved inventory from their North Olmsted and Mayfield locations (to Mentor)."
She said the intention is to open some of the new tenant stores by the end of 2018.
The next commission meeting is Jan. 18.

"Tell me a story," the bearded man sitting on my living-room sofa commands. The situation, I must say, is anything but pleasant. I'm someone who writes stories, not someone who tells them. And even that isn't something I do on demand. The last time anyone asked me to tell him a story, it was my son. That was a year ago. I told him something about a fairy and a ferret—I don't even remember what exactly—and within two minutes he was fast asleep. But the situation is fundamentally different. Because my son doesn't have a beard, or a pistol. Because my son asked for the story nicely, and this man is simply trying to rob me of it.

Full Review:
I bought this bike in the summer of last year and have been using it since. I absolutely agree with everyone that the bike has the best of looks in comparison to the other bikes under the same price bracket. The engine roars as soon as you turn on the key and does what it says: deliver earth shattering thrust and throttle. Though, my only concern is the lack of anti-braking system in this bike which comes in handy with most of the other bikes under the similar price bracket.

11-13 Oct 2016 Brest (France)
Eurogoos : Marine Information Workshop for Industry:From publicly available resources to innovation in the blue economy (Partners : Emodnet, Columbus)
Marine Information Workshop for Industry: Showcasing publicly available resources to support innovation
This workshop will facilitate a dialogue between two communities that do not traditionally come together, the European marine data and observation community – working to generate, aggregate and disseminate marine data – and the intermediary companies who can capitalize on these efforts to create value-added products and services. The H2020 COLUMBUS Marine Monitoring and Observations Node has identified that for European public marine data providers and aggregators, the views and opinions of these intermediaries are vital to maximize opportunities for innovation and service provision.
Marine information service providers and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) developing innovative applications are crucial intermediaries in the marine data value chain. These intermediary companies create value-added data products and services for a large number of uses. Those include, among others: risk forecast and prevention, design and optimization of infrastructure for the off-shore sector, and compliance with European Union directives such as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the Marine Spatial Planning Directive.
A gap exists between what is available in open marine data from publicly-funded intitiatives and what maritime 'end-users' need in traditional industries such as shipping, oil and gas exploration, maritime transport or fisheries. It is a challenge for marine data providers to develop in a way to be fit-for-purpose for all end-users. Intermediary users, however, can take advantage of the public marine data resources and deliver very specific services for specific customers. Engaging with intermediary users is therefore a priority for European initiatives such as European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) and SeaDataNet. The intermediary companies understand the requirements of their particular maritime sector, can access data and information resources, and deliver derived goods and services. SMEs can also act in an entrepreneurial way capitalizing on publicly available marine data and information resources to develop new applications and services in non-traditional sectors.
This workshop is co-organized by EuroGOOS and EMODnet within the activities of the H2020 COLUMBUS project, and will be held as part of 'A Connected Ocean' conference.

So I typically only write about
trashy pop music but today I feel like bringing you something else I've been obsessed with. DJ Tiësto & MOTi's "Blow Your Mind." This track was premiered during Tiësto's Ultra Miami set a few months back and has still not seen a formal release, but I sure hope it gets one. The track is bonkers amazing. I can only imagine how it felt to hear this track live for the first time!
There are two main sections to this intense track: One part of the track has a trappy, ethno, Diplo-esque flare to it. It sounds as if Indiana Jones, (played by Will Smith), broke into a Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun's crypt only to find out King Tut was a bomb ass DJ and Queen Nefertiti invented twerk teams. The 'Mumbai qualifies for the World Cup' realness of this section is pretty amazing stuff.
Oh, but that's not all! The other half of the song is rave-y and intense. It sounds as if Liu Kang and Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat got trapped in The Matrix and the only way for them to escape is to play a life-or-death round of Dance Dance Revolution on the super duper wayyyy extra hard setting. It's kind of impossible for me not to throw out my neck from overly dramatic headbanging to this section.
I honestly cannot believe this song hasn't gotten an official release yet. Was the initial reception bad or something? I can't imagine high as fuck festival goers leaving Ultra in a mixed state of exhaustion and dehydration and saying, "I really hope that horrible Tiësto & MOTi song never hits BeatPort." What are these DJ's waiting for? Release the damn thing already!

All motorists are reminded to safely "share the road" with motorcycles and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists.
Statistics show that the percentage of intoxicated motorcycle riders in fatal crashes is greater than the percentage of intoxicated drivers on our roads. This is why NHTSA urges all motorcycle riders to always ride smart and sober.
Atlanta Area President Meeting Sunday June 26th, 2016 at BLOC BURNAZ Clubhouse 905 James Jackson Pkwy Atlanta, GA
Motorcycle safety starts when a person decides to ride a motorcycle…..then once you decide to join a club, it is the responsibility of the club you decided to join to be concerned with the safety of their members.
It is great if there are organizations, coalitions, alliances', etc... that focus on and promote safety amongst the motorcycle community and those efforts should continue, but DO NOT rely on the community to teach you and your club how to be safe when riding your motorcycle. Please stop looking to another organization to teach/promote safety for you. Safety starts at home, in your house….start with your club! Ask yourself "how are you, as a LEADER, as a CLUB, as an ORGANIZATION", promoting safety amongst your members.

Un viaggio alla fine del mondo
Riesci a immaginarti 7 giorni di navigazione nei fiordi dello stretto di Magellano a rincorrere balene, a sentire il rumore che fa la parete di un ghiacciaio quando cade, a osservare gli albatros da vicino, e poi i pinguini, i sornioni leoni marini e la foca leopardo, addentrarti a piedi nella natura incontaminata ed estrema della Patagonia?
E' una esperienza che a tutti auguro di fare.
Ancora di piú auguro di farla come io l'ho fatta a bordo di questo battello il Forrest che ha un equipaggio che pensa a tutto, dalla tua sicurezza, alla tua comoditá, che ti guida e ti aiuta a capire e approfondire quello che vedi ( a bordo ci sono guide specializzate) capitanato da un organizzatore di eccezione, Luis Bertea Fotografo e amante della natura, della fotografia e di molte altre cose… (omissis) in cima la vita, che mai ti lascerá in angolo senza uno spunto, una battuta, un bicchiere di vino, un reportage sui fotografi del Messico, l'utlimo documentario della BBC sui poli..
Un viaggio emozionante che ha bisogno di compagni innamorati della natura e della fotografia come quelli che io ho incontrato. Cileni, Francesi Argentini, Colombiani, grandi e piccoli, la meraviglia ci ha sempre accompagnato. Cosa é un'esperienza se non puoi condividerla?
Se non ti ricordi piú cosa significa sentirti libero e con il cuore allegro, domandalo a noi e a Matteo, di 12 anni che ha partecipato al viaggio.
Il suo magone alla discesa dal battello era il magone di tutti noi, che torneremo di certo, per amore verso noi stessi, a ripetere questa avventura nella bellezza.
Cola cola cola… ballena ballena ballena!
Viva il Cile e buon viaggio a tutti!

My adventures with Luis:
I went in the FitzRoy Expedition, first in February of 2011 and was so delighted, that I returned in January of 2012, not to mention that I will be returning in 2013. I had been many places and in many photographic cruise but this different for many reasons. First of all is the geographic location of the navigation, the Straits of Magellan's.
Secondly is the exotic wildlife that you will encounter, such various species of penguins, whales and birds; imagine seating next to a black-browed albatross or having a whale surface next to your boat turning the watching action around. Instead of you watching the whale, it is watching you with that penetrating eye. And where else can you smell the breath of a whale; you will know what people mean if they tell you that you smell as the breath of a whale. The wildlife in this area reminds me to that in the Galapagos Islands, they show no fear of man, so getting a great image is assured. There are several opportunities a day to board the Zodiacs to go wildlife watching or ashore to photograph the mountains and glaciers.
Third, the landscapes encountered while navigating the Strait with tall mountains and glaciers coming down to the water's edge is striking. There are forest too, and these are different; mostly of smaller trees with with colorful leaves. But there also the bushes full of berries, mushrooms, colorful lichens, mosses and ferns. One thing I noticed, not many insects.
Fourth, the R/V Forrest and its crew. It carries no more than 18 passengers so it is not overcrowded. In the lower deck, it has six cabins with multiple berths and 2 full service bathrooms (yes, plenty of hot water). Surprisingly, even when one has to share baths, these are readily available and always "unspottedly clean". The cabins are freshened up daily while you are away taking photos. The middle deck, it serves as recreation and dinner area. It has large reclining seats and space for the photo gear, but most importantly, it is also the dining room. The food has two strikes against the weight conscious, first it is incredible "gourmet food" and secondly, it is abundant. And then, there is a free flow of beer and famous name liquors; no shortcuts here. Next is open air upper deck, and ideal place just to watch the scenery while crossing the historical Straits of and dreaming of being Francis Drake or with Charles Darwin in ages past.
And finally the most important; the crew. No friendly and competent crew I have found in any of my previous cruises, and encompass ships carrying from 50 to 2000 passengers. By the time you leave, may have found new friends for life. But then, there is Luis, this one is always "pestering" you wanting to know if you are having a good time and what else you need?

Dear Luis,
we would like to give you a sign of life after returning home to Germany. It was an unforgettable experience for us to be with you on board of the expedition ship to the glaciers, fjords and desert beaches and islands of Patagonia in order to watch and take photos of the impressive nature and seldom animals. Until this time we could not imagine, that it could us make happy to see, hear, touch and smell the ice of glaciers, look at elephant seals, sea lions, sea birds and baby albatrosses and be them so near………And the big whales so near, that their breath made our glasses wet and they did not harm in any way to the rubber boat, we were sitting in….. We hope all the beauty of nature we could experience will be protected for future generations as long as possible.
It was overwhelming for us. Now we are looking at the pictures and repeating the great moments we had during the journey.
We hope, you will receive our " muchas gracias" again and would be happy for a short reply and if possible, some professional made pictures of the nature and animals ( for example dolphins ) for our collection.
We wish you good health, success in your creative work and happiness in life.
Please give our regards also to your daughter and Vicente
Muchos saludos

I had the good fortune of being on one of Luis' recent expeditions in Patagonia. It was far better than I ever could have imagined.!!
– The pristine beauty that surrounds one everywhere in Patagonia,
– the boat crew and staff take care of your every need,
– Luis, Vicente and Francisco know everything about the flora, fauna, and
history of the area, Simply put, this photo safari in Patagonia was one of the peak experiences of my life. I hope to be on board next year.!

Luis, I participated in the second and third photosafaris, and in all sincerity, I believe it is no exaggeration to describe this experience as "unforgettable".
On the one hand, the common profile of the "nature photographer" inherent to this type of expedition brings together people who share a powerful admiration for nature, and due to this profile, they are able to create social bonds which are deep and altruistic, and which create a unique, cathartic sort of atmosphere during the trip.
Personally, I do not think I could ever forget this experience, the places we visited are forever engraved in my mind… so not only do I recommend it, but if possible, I will try to take part in this expedition year after year (God willing).
Thank you Luis, thank you Patagonia Photosafaris… and thank you Forrest crew for the gift and the life experience we acquired during those days.

It's been over 2 months since posting to my jewelry blog...
Thanks to all the customers that have kept me quite busy this summer while selling jewelry at the outdoor farmers markets, and at second saturday artist market this past weekend.
Finally...getting back on track with posting to my jewelry blog, and online jewelry shops. I am currently trying to get an earring only shop in order... online for all earring shoppers. All earring shoppers may go to my shop online and purchase any pair of earrings for $25 and under.
Although maintaining an online store is quite a task that I have taken on...
I plan to add a large assortment of accumulated earrings from my jewelry collection(around 100 pairs of earrings), and put the earrings up for sell in my shop over the next month. The earring assortment consist of: brass wire-worked earrings, glass beaded styles, freshwater pearl earrings, semiprecious, shells, and hand-painted leather earrings.

Cigar Box Purses
Authentic imported cigar boxes are just one of the many things that I love to embellish, and collect. Over the years, my collection of authentic cigar boxes has grown. This cigar box is a Santa Rosa executive box that once held 25 cigars in it. I found great pleasure in bringing the box back to life again by embellishing it with genuine leather scraps, turquoise, and wood beads. A handle was attached so that it may be carried as a tote. A luggage tag, and electronic boarding pass paper was added. The inside is lined with assorted fabics. Now the box is in great shape for a trip!

Genuine Leather Wire Choker
A brass wire choker was embellished with colorful scraps of genuine leather, lace, tassels, and denim. All materials were hand picked, cut to size, and attached to the brass wire choker. When worn it hangs as if it's a colorful bib.

A letter, signed by the department or program chair, should be sent to the Program Administrator. It should outline the benefits of the proposed appointment to the department's offerings and/or research, suggest possible course titles, and designate the desired period of residence. It should be accompanied by the nominee's CV. All nominations are voted on by the program's Advisory Board, which consists of representatives from Dartmouth College, as well as German academicians appointed by the German government. The Board will also from time to time propose candidates to the College for consideration by appropriate host departments.
The professorship offers generous compensation for salary, housing, travel expenses, and local transportation for visitors and their spouses. Visitors under this program come at no cost to host departments, who are required only to provide office space and general teaching support. The number of visitors each year will depend on length of stay, type of activity, and corresponding remuneration. Since most appointments require a certain lead time, nominations for specific terms in Dartmouth's academic calendar should normally be submitted several years in advance.

Less than 4% of all Realtors nationwide are qualified as Certified Residential Specialists.
One thing you will grow to love about Robby is he answers his phone almost every time you call. If not, he will return your call immediately. I have used several Realtors in the past finding this to me one of the major problems in dealing with Realtors once they get your signature on the dotted line. This is far from the only detail you will find Robby taking care of. He did not miss a trick in my four real estate transactions completed with his help. Robby and his wife Carol have my best recommendation. Robert Lewis, Viera, Florida
Go look Bull Dog up in the dictionary. You will find a photo of Robby. When it comes to working out the details and persisting with these banks, he is going to get the job done if it is humanly possible. Robby is very innovative and extremely knowledgeable in his field. His service is highly recommended.
Barry Mittleberg, Attorney At Law
I have some real easy advise for anybody in South Brevard County that is upside down with their mortgage. Call Robby and Carol and do whatever they recommend for you to do. I have shared several clients with Robby and he has gotten every one of them out of an unbelievable mess..... Art
Art W. Niergarth, Attorney At Law
IN 2009 When it was time to sell our home in Rockledge we knew it was going to be difficult. We also knew we needed the best Realtors we could find. Robby & Carol were recommended to us with the utmost trust, based on proven results. They did not disappoint!! Throughtout the entire process we got expert advise and more professionism than we could have hoped for. We do not think we could have sold our home without Robby & Carol's determination and attention to detail. Anyone considering buying or selling real estate should look no further than Pioneer Properties USA and Robby & Carol Robertson. Trust me: they are the best.
Jamie, Melissa & Natalie Ball
Oh boy, was I ever in a mess. And,all for trying to help out a friend. At one point I thought the sky was falling. Then, I called on the one guy that might be able to pull me out of this mess. Robby, you truly saved the day for me. I still do not know how you were able to pull this off, but I am just damn glad you know what you are doing (like nobody else knows). Thanks Dude!! Jerry Stag........ living debt FREE!
Oh boy do I have a story to tell. After initially meeting with Robby, he suggested a meeting with Attorney Scott Wright. Mr. Wright agreed we were victims of a real estate fraud. The bad news was going to be a fee of $10,000 would be needed to cover the cost of investigation and preparation because you cannot just go to court and accuse somebody of a crime. You have to be able to prove it. At our ages this is something we just did not want to deal with, so we decided to turn to Robby to sell our three investment properties and our residential home. Each of these properties had two mortgages and were severely past due (which was a surprise to us). Robby not only sold all four properties, but when the final sale was completed we had a check in our hand from JP Morgan Chase for $38,000.00 and we owed no debt to anyone!! What a nightmare year it was. We are now living in North Carolina and could not be more relieved. If you are looking for a REALTORS that knows what they are doing, look no further than Robby and Carol Robertson.
Charlie and Joy Howell
Having to sale a home in Florida in 2010 was going to be a near impossible task. I was recommended to Pioneer Properties by a friend. During the process I must have asked Robby Robertson a thousand questions. He answered every single one of them and his answers turned out to be right on the money every single time. There was nothing easy about getting this done, but Robby made it effortless. Pioneer Properties and Robby & Carol Robertson have my first class recommendation. I really do not think there is anyone else even close!! (Now living in North Carolina)........ Joe
Joseph Smittelli
I had been trying to sell my Florida home for some time. Having listing this home for over a year with two different Realtors without success I needed somebody that could get the job done. That is when I found Robby Robertson. Let me tell you, there was nothing easy about selling a Florida home in 2010. But, Robby was the man for the job. Thanks Robby! You got me out of a tight spot!!
Jeremey Martin, living in Pennsylvania
I had enough problems, but this one was a big head ache. An ocean front home with a million dollar balance that was worth about one half a million... Robby managed to pull this off and deal with two mortgages.... That was quite a trick!
We thought we were in a mess with this home ownership thing in 2010. But, then along came Robby and Carol Robertson. Not only did we get out of this really bad mess, but the bank PAID us. Unbelievable!! You got real estate you need to get sold, call these guys.
Needing to move out of state in 2010, we knew we had a problem with selling our Florida home. We listened to Robby carefully and he told us if we would do exactly what he recommeded, we should get our home sold with little problem. Not only was he correct, but we sold in three days and got $5,000 more than we were asking. Robby and Carol came highly recommeded to us by a relative. I would do the same. Got a home you want to get sold? Call Pioneer Properties USA...
Raymond and Gail Miller
I have been working in real estate in this area since high school (19+ years)with both of my parents. For the past few years, I have been recommending "Robby" & Carol Robertson to my clients wishing to sell their homes. After their sell, I have actually had several call and thank me for the recommendation which is extremely unusual. Each has been more than complementary of the professional service received from Robby and Carol Robertson. Teamwork Appraisal Services-Lic #0002437
Deborah E. Bartolino, CREA, MRA
You made buying a home so easy for my wife and I. We were grateful for how much patience you used in answering all of our questions and taking us to look at so many houses. You never pushed us into looking at something we were not interested in. We strongly recommend you to anyone looking at buying a new home.
Bob and Mindy Lawrence
Working with the two of you while selling our home has been a particularly positive experience.From day one, you both displayed nothing but complete professionalism while taking the time to educate us on the process of selling a home. My husband & I both were impressed with your knowledge of the real estate market as well as your strength in sales. As a seller, we could not have been more satisfied having you represent our side. With your help, the buying of our new home was completely painless. Your research and market analysis was extremely helpful in determining our offer. We both fell we not be in this beautiful home if it were not for the two of you. We are very appreciative. Sunpoint Asset Managers, Inc.
BaytreeGina Gallo, CFP, Vice President
Mr. & Mrs. Robertson were selected after interviews with several local real estate agents. My husband, a well known local attorney, is very good at interviewing people. He & I were very impressed with Mr. Robertson's professionalism and knowledge. He was very well prepared for our first meeting and he has contiuned to impress me throughout the sale & closing of my home. Robby was very helpful in assessing what was in my best interest and made very helpful suggestions. As evidence, my home was sold in two weeks time. He even noted a title company error that saved me $600+ dollars at the closing table! I feel a sincere debt of gratitude for the service.
Carol Cowan, Melbourne Beach
Previously, we had our home listed with a different Agent. We became so disgusted we removed our home from the market after 3 months of almost nothing. Later on we were recommended to Robby & Carol Robertson. Both Robby and Carol were great to work with. Our home was promoted and advertised very effectively which resulted in a quick sale. We had showing after showing and not a week went by without us hearing from them. If you want to get your home sold, we highly recommend Robby and Carol as your listing Agents. They are both very professional and highly effective. Thank you Robby and Carol for a job well done from beginning to end.......
Bill & Mary Burnette now living in Murphy, N.C.
Due to Robby & Carol's expert advise and hard work we were able to sell my mother's Melbourne home in a very short time. They made the sale happen, made up for the buyer's agent short comings and brought the sale to closing 3 weeks ahead of schedule. My mother, my wife and myself highly recommend Robby and Carol as Realtors for you to know.
Bill Ashe, Bill Ashe Studio - NY, NY
From your professional presentation when we were interviewing Realtors to both closings in the same day, you both were there for us every step of the way. Many of the items you touched upon that first day ended up coming true. I do not think I ever believed it would be that easy. Mostly we appreciate the time you spent showing us homes until we found the one that fit our family. We were impressed that you did not try to push us into a more expensive home to earn a larger commission. You were genuinely concerned that our family got what it needed. We would be happy to speak with any of your future clients and give them our highest recommendations.
Joe & Theresa Tolle, Grant, Fl
Prior to listing our home Robby & Carol gave us excellent advise on the preparation of our home for sale, which we followed closely. Within one day of the listing, we had two offers, one of which was above our asking price. During the inspection and processing period prior to closing, Robby again provided excellent guidance for handling the few issues that came up. The closing occured without a hitch. Robby & Carol are professionals, and they handle themselves accordingly at all times. We trusted them implicitly and found our trust well placed. You can do the same.
Paul & Leah Casper, Timberlake Dr, Melbourne, FL
Expecting to get approximately $400,000 from the sale of our home, you can imagine I thought you might be nuts when you told me to expect to sale for $500,000.00. After listing our river front home, approximately 15 days afterwards, here I stood with an offer of exactly your figure in my hand. Your professionalism and diligence was greatly appreciated......
Andy Garner, Melbourne, Fl
I interviewed about a dozen different agents before listing my home. Robby & Carol had a professionally prepared portfolio tailored to my needs. The best, by far. Robby made my listing contingent on a couple that had expressed an interest in my home before listing with them. The couple actually put in an offer, got financed and purchased my home. The Robertsons were true to their word. This letter is an expression of my appreciation of all of the efforts they made at the risk of no profit. Honest Realtors! What a concept. Thank you very much Robby and Carol. You are truly top rate!!

With a team of pint-sized contractors-for-a-day, a whirr of a drone motor and blessedly short speeches by dignitaries on a bright sunny day, Cambria's Main Street Bridge across Santa Rosa Creek was officially dedicated Friday, Jan. 9.
The new 150-foot-long, gently curving bridge replaced a 1922 structure. As the county's town criers, Bev and Jerry Praver of Cambria, declaimed in their rhyming patter, supervisors decided it was time to "terminate the tenure of the trembling trestle" that had been deemed too old and too narrow.
The $3.5 million project had been in the planning, permit and construction stages for about 15 years.
The ceremony included 11 pre-kindergarten students, bridge designers and the requisite officials from Souza Construction and its subcontractors, plus county and local government.
The event included some thoughtful touches: Cori Marsalek, the county's manager on the project, brought tiny yellow hard hats, juice boxes and
bubble-blowing kits to keep the tots occupied during the ceremony. Marsalek and Ann Flynn (wife of Dave Flynn, the county's deputy Public Works director) provided homemade cookies, including orange-frosted replicas of construction trucks.
But the hit of the day was a camera-toting drone controlled by quad-copter operator Jason Rath, who was also an inspector on the bridge construction. The drone glided overhead, snapping pictures of the new structure and the ceremony.
The first vehicle over the newly dedicated bridge carried longtime Curti Creek Road residents Jack and Jane Gibson, parents of county Supervisor Bruce Gibson, who escorted the couple on foot across the span.

Many of our real estate appraisal clients in Maryland have asked us if we use distressed properties (short sales and foreclosures) as comparables when doing an appraisal on non-distressed properties. The Appraisal Institute issued a paper on the subject which we feel explains the situations and circumstances when the use of distressed property sales is warranted. In […]

Allie Barke '17
At one point or another, we need someone to tell us how it is-- no matter how brutally honest. That is especially true when it comes to clothing/stylistic choices, of which Allie Barke has no trouble doing. Allie runs a blog, Allie's Fashion Alley, where she works to emphasize her the importance fashion holds in our everyday lives. It is, as she says, one of the keys to happiness and success. Plus, she adds an opinionated twist to all of her posts, making her work not only inciteful but also engaging. She has collaborated with Teen Vogue, Akira, NBC's The Voice and much more. Needless to say she is taking the world by storm. I had the opportunity to catch up with Allie amidst her busy life as a Junior at DePaul, member of DePaul's Fashion Society, and successful blogger and here is what we discussed:
Alright, let's start with the basics! What year are you at DePaul? What's your major? Any Minors? What organizations/clubs/activities are you involved in at DePaul or just in general?
I'm a junior majoring in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. I'm involved with the DePaul Fashion Society (we're in the process of planning our spring fashion show).
You have a really successful blog, Allie's Fashion Alley. What is it all about?
My blog focuses on giving style advice that's very opinionated. Recently, I've also branched out into giving advice to other bloggers.
What sparked the creation of Allie's Fashion Alley?
I've loved fashion ever since I can remember. I wanted a place where I could share my voice on my own terms.
How did AFA first begin?
I started my blog in high school. I had no direction of how I wanted my blog to look or feel at the time, but I just started and it was a major learning experience.
What were some struggles that you have faced concerning your blog?
There are so many blogs out there, so I struggled with setting my blog apart from the rest. I've also come a long way in terms of the design of my blog. I'm really happy with how it looks now, but it took a long time to get there.
A few weeks ago we met you at a Her Campus event put on by Roosevelt's chapter, Girl Boss Night! You were one of the six girl bosses mentioned! What is your #1 girl boss tip for our readers?
As an entrepreneur, you have to be extremely receptive to failure. No one gets anything perfect on the first try. If you can't bounce back from rejection, you'll never succeed.
You definitely seem to have a lot going on; how do you balance it all?
What works best for me is to dedicate blocks of time for just school work or just blogging stuff. At the start of each week, I open up my Ban.do planner (having a pretty planner that you want to use definitely helps) and split up everything that I need to get done so it's not overwhelming.
Do you have any advice for aspiring fashion bloggers?
It's so easy and inexpensive to start a blog, so there's no reason not to. But, if you want to turn your blog into a job, you have to treat it like any other business. There's a huge time commitment and you have to spend money to make money.
Who is your Role Model(s):
Hard to choose, but sticking with the blogging theme, I would say Chiara Ferragni. She's built a major business that started with her blog. Harvard Business School did a case study on her, which I still need to read!
Now let's focus on some fast facts:
Favorite food: Mexican
Favorite color: Red at the moment, but it changes a lot!
Favorite artist(s)/band(s): I don't really listen to music.
Favorite quote: "Life isn't perfect, but your outfit can be."
Favorite class thus far at DePaul: Popular Romance Fiction
Coke or Pepsi? Neither
Twitter or Instagram? Instagram
Night in or Night out? Night in, usually
Concerts or Movies? Movies
Saver or Spender? Saver
Go to clothing piece? Skirts
You have a free night, what do you do? Try out a new restaurant with friends or just relax and stay in.
Guilty pleasure? Desserts
What are you binge watching right now? New Girl

Follow The Big Takeover
Before Al Jourgensen became defined by the metal industrial sound he pioneered, Ministry began as a synthwave band blending elements of post-punk, goth and electronic krautrock into a unified sound. Now those mysterious origins are finally revealed in an essential collection of demos, outtakes, rare 12" cuts and live recordings, giving further insight into one of electronic music's most cherished icons.
Trax! Rarities opens with several live performances from July 1982 that recall "New Life"-era Depeche Mode if propelled by Killing Joke drumming and a Devo drive, all filtered through Joy Division and Bauhaus. Several demos follow, expanding the sound to include the likes of New Order, Culture Club and Psychedelic Furs. Later rough cuts reveal the sound that would come to inspire the likes of KMFDM and Front 242. Finally, super rare collaborations round out the release with songs by Revolting Cocks (the long sought-after "Drums Along the Carbine" and "banned" cover of Oliva Newton-John's "Let's Get Physical"), Pailhead (with Minor Threat/Fugazi's Ian MacKaye), PTP and 1000 Homo DJs (covering Black Sabbath's "Supernaut"). It's a perfect entry into the libraries of Ministry fans, both old and new.
Over the years, Al Jourgensen modified and expanded his sound to fit his moods as well as his sense of humor, but this is where Ministry began. Turn on the black lights, don the black clothes and raise the volume.

"Every job is unique, every customer an individual, I pride myself on personal service" – Eoin Cumming
Telephone: 07901 525594
Here you'll find some examples of my work with before and after shots. Well, if Tony Hart can have one then so can I.
It's been over a year and a half since I took the plunge to moving into a unit, it was a massive risk taking that giant step from home to a specialised space, but it had to be done. A huge thank you to all my previous customers for their support.
I'm now able to provide your one stop shop for Motorcycle bodywork repairs from plastic welding to painting. More and more customers are enquiring about custom paint jobs and this seems to be a developing part of the business.
The repairs are on everything from Sports bikes to cruisers, scooters to fridge drawers. Yes, you read that correctly I can even weld your fridge door, although no-one to date has asked me to paint their fridge but hey, never say never, I'm prepared to try anything once.
Whether you want to check out the range of my work or perhaps look for some inspiration, take some time to browse the galleries below that I've divided into categories for ease of view, although its not a definitive list as every day something new seems to crop up.
