The 105-megawatt Sarangani coal-fed plant of the Alcantara group will shore up its profitability by about R160 million this year, company executives have indicated.
According to Alsons Consolidated Resources, Inc. (ACR) chief financial officer Luis R. Ymson Jr., that estimate will account for the eight months of the plant's commercial operations that kicked off April this year.
The level of income to be generated from the facility is anticipated to be higher for 2017 because its impact both on top and bottom lines will already be felt year-round.
"For 2016, it will be 29-percent more in revenues and 19-percent more in income…about R150 million to R160 million, that's only for eight months," Ymson noted.
Alsons Power Group president Tirso G. Santillan Jr. indicated that they are anticipating increased level of profitability at the latter part of the plant's operations as their contractual arrangements generally set eventual acceleration in costs pass-on.
"The way our power supply contracts have been structured, initially the cost would be lower, but it will go up in the latter part of our operations…that is in terms of the SEC plant," he expounded.
ACR chairman Tomas I. Alcantara emphasized that the first block of their Sarangani plant had been fully contracted. And even for Sarangani unit 2 which is due to break ground third quarter this year, its capacity is now similarly covered fully with bilateral contracts.
He said the off-takers (capacity buyers) are generally electric cooperatives (ECs) and the sole industrial capacity buyer is cement firm Holcim Philippines.
For the Alcantara group's three blocks of coal plants, the total planned investment would be $1.0 billion – covering the two units of the Sarangani plant; and the 105MW San Ramon coal-fired plant in Zamboanga City.
It will be bankrolled by a typical project financing of 70:30 debt-to-equity ratio; which entails then that about $700 million will be funneled through bank borrowings.
Of the remaining projects yet to move headway into construction phase, the scale of investment for the Alcantara group and its partner Toyota Tsusho Corporation would be $600 million to $700 million. The equity portion alone would hover at $180 million to $210 million.

Carrie is American author Stephen King's first published novel, released in 1974. It revolves around the titular character Carrie, a shy high-school girl, who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who tease her. King has commented that he finds the work to be "raw" and "with a surprising power to hurt and horrify". It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools and the film version was banned in Finland. Much of the book is written in an epistolary structure, through newspaper clippings, magazine articles, letters, and excerpts from books.
Several adaptations of Carrie have been released, including a 1976 feature film, a 1988 Broadway musical, a 1999 feature film sequel, and a 2002 television movie.
Publication history:
Carrie was actually King's fourth novel but the first to be published. It was written while he was living in a trailer in Hermon, Maine, on a portable typewriter (on which he also wrote Misery) that belonged to his wife Tabitha. It began as a short story intended for Cavalier magazine, but King tossed the first three pages of his work in the garbage. Of King's published short stories at the time, he recalled,
"Some woman said, 'You write all those macho things, but you can't write about women.' I said, 'I'm not scared of women. I could write about them if I wanted to.' So I got an idea for a story about this incident in a girls' shower room, and the girl would be telekinetic. The other girls would pelt her with sanitary napkins when she got her period. The period would release the right hormones and she would rain down destruction on them... I did the shower scene, but I hated it and threw it away."
His wife fished the pages out of the garbage and encouraged him to finish the story; he followed her advice and expanded it into a novel. King said, "I persisted because I was dry and had no better ideas... my considered opinion was that I had written the world's all-time loser." The book was dedicated to his wife, Tabitha: "This is for Tabby, who got me into it – and then bailed me out of it."
According to the audio commentary for the film version of Carrie, Carrie is based on a composite of two girls who were bullied and abused at school; one who went to school with him, and one who was his student. The young girl King went to school with lived down the street from him in Durham, Maine. In an interview with Charles L. Grant for Twilight Zone Magazine in April 1981, King recalled that,
"She was a very peculiar girl who came from a very peculiar family. Her mother wasn't a religious nut like the mother in Carrie; she was a game nut, a sweepstakes nut who subscribed to magazines for people who entered contests ... the girl had one change of clothes for the entire school year, and all the other kids made fun of her. I have a very clear memory of the day she came to school with a new outfit she'd bought herself. She was a plain-looking country girl, but she'd changed the black skirt and white blouse – which was all anybody had every seen her in – for a bright-colored checkered blouse with puffed sleeves and a skirt that was fashionable at the time. And everybody made worse fun of her because nobody wanted to see her change the mold."
King says he wondered what it would have been like to have been reared by such a mother, and based the story itself on a reversal of the Cinderella fairy tale. He also told biographer George Beahm that the girl later "married a man who was as odd as her, had kids, and eventually killed herself."
Carrie's telekinesis resulted from King's earlier reading about this topic. King also did a short stint as a high school English teacher at Hampden Academy, a job he eventually quit after receiving the payment for the paperback publishing sale of Carrie.
At the time of publication, King was working as a teacher at Hampden Academy and barely making ends meet. To cut down on expenses, King had the phone company remove the telephone from his house. As a result, when King received word that the book was chosen for publication, his phone was out of service. Doubleday editor, William Thompson (who would eventually become King's close friend), sent a telegram to King's house which read: "CARRIE OFFICIALLY A DOUBLEDAY BOOK. $2,500 ADVANCE AGAINST ROYALTIES. CONGRATS, KID - THE FUTURE LIES AHEAD, BILL."
It has been presumed that King drew inspiration from his time as a teacher. New American Library bought the paperback rights for $400,000, which, according to King's contract with Doubleday, was split between them. King eventually quit the teaching job after receiving the publishing payment. The hardback sold a mere 13,000 copies, the paperback, released a year later, sold over 1 million copies in its first year.
King recalls, "Carrie was written after Rosemary's Baby, but before The Exorcist, which really opened up the field. I didn't expect much of Carrie. I thought who'd want to read a book about a poor little girl with menstrual problems? I couldn't believe I was writing it." In a talk at the University of Maine at Orono, King said of Carrie, "I'm not saying that Carrie is shit and I'm not repudiating it. She made me a star, but it was a young book by a young writer. In retrospect it reminds me of a cookie baked by a first grader—tasty enough, but kind of lumpy and burned on the bottom."

Tawatha Jeree Mitchell, 30, of Muskogee has been charged in Muskogee County District Court with child neglect after police found her five-year-old son wandering around a basketball court around 9 p.m. on July 26.
The boy told police he couldn't find his mother. Police went to the house he showed them, and Mitchell was nowhere to be found. Neighbors also told police the boy often shows up at their apartment two to three times a week, saying he doesn't know where his mother is and he's hungry and thirsty.
Police spoke to someone identifying herself as Mitchell, who said she would come pick the boy up from the police station, but she never showed, so DHS took custody of the boy.

The benefit of confidence (and experience)
Part of the reason I love trapeze is because the teachers there are really, really good at teaching. They provide constant, individual feedback that is almost always at the student's exact developmental level. While almost all the teachers are strong, a handful stand out from the crowd. I've realized that the classes where I really move my skills forward and try new, unexpected things are the classes with the most experienced, confident teachers. They're the ones who ask, "have you done [skill] yet? No? Okay, you're going to learn that right now." Or, like tonight, they see a skill I've been working on for months and say, "the reason that's so hard is because your flying is more advanced than that skill. I'm going to teach you the harder way, you'll do it next time up, and it's going to feel easier."
Making a call like that takes confidence that you know what you're doing and have the right to do it. Dozens of instructors have helped me with this skill, but tonight's teacher was the only one to say "wait, why are you doing that at all?"
I think about how this trapeze experience applies to my own teaching. One of the big changes this year is the confidence I have in moving my students forward. Last year I didn't really know what was coming, and didn't know what students should look like to get there, so I kind of tip-toed everyone forward, uncertain. This year I know where we all need to be and I'm often dragging my kids forward, more confident now that I know what they should be doing. Having experience lets me do more than coach them where they are – like the best of my trapeze instructors, I'm learning to question why we're there, and make a confident decision about where we should be instead.

We've got a plan! The cardio team here met and decided that Penelope needs to have her PDA closed tomorrow morning at 7:30. It will be the same bedside surgery that Lydia had, the only difference is that they will have an OR waiting just in case the closing of the PDA causes complications with her possible coarctation. If they close the PDA and see that her aorta is narrowing (by checking bloodpressures as well as an immediate echo) they will whisk her away to the OR and do the coarct repair surgery (resection with end to end anastomosis) despite her size. Right now, the complications she's having because of the PDA are such that they cannot wait until she reaches the ideal size for the coarct surgery. The risks are higher for such a small baby but the risks of delaying the surgery are even greater. So, this is the plan.
Jonathan and I are, understandably, pretty nervous about this. It will be a loooong hour's wait while they do the PDA surgery to see if she'll need the coarct repair or not. They say that time flies when you're having fun, maybe time will fly while we're praying our booties off! We would like to ask you to be praying your booties off too! Please pray for Drs Goldberg and Knott-Craig (the surgeons), Andrea (his nurse), and the rest of the OR team that will be doing the surgery. Also, pray for Robin and Amy (the girl's nurses), the neonatalogist, and the NICU staff that will be caring for her after the surgery. Finally, pray for our sweet Penny to have comfort and strength, to only have the PDA and no coarctation, and if she does have to have the coarct repaired pray that the Lord would protect her from any complications of the surgery.
On a personal note, she's been put on NPO (no food in her tummy) until a few days after the surgery. This means she'll be hungry and MAD about it like Lydia was. Please pray that I'll handle it well. It's actually a good sign if she gets hungry and mad, rather than lethargic. It just makes it very difficult for us to watch her and not be able to help.
Thank you so much for your prayers as we face this next section of the NICU roller coaster.
Love, The Chus
First day back on the vent. Haven't seen her face like this in a week!

"As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,

marvelous things without number:
he gives rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
he sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

Innocent Smoker - The girl you would never think smokes
Hoping that like her friend, the innocent looking one somehow smokes as well. So many times the innocent one turns out to be just that. A non-smoker. Conservatively dressed. Blonde hair pulled back. No way she smokes.
But sometimes we are treated to a truly special sighting. The innocent friend that smokes! Here we have just that. She pulls out her own cigarette and joins her friend!
The concentration on her first drag after lighting up says it all. This innocent looking girl is not a just social smoker at all. She is the real deal. A committed lover of smoke.
The pause before she inhales. The lovely look on her face before pulling the smoke deep into her waiting chest.
Her friend is clearly happy as well as she joins her innocent looking friend who she clearly corrupted. Was she the one who influenced her to start smoking a couple of years back?
This innocent looking girl smokes like a true pro. Fingers part as she takes a long drag inhaling to her toes.
Finally a talking exhale to finish our set. One of the truly good sightings of a candid smoker. The girl you would have bet your house on that she did not smoke turns out to be a pro smoker.

I saw the sweetest innocent petite dainty looking woman like she would be the chairwoman for the anti smoking group, but she had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, she was absolutely adorable. I saw her from time to time and she smoked alot a white 100 B&H and loved to dangle her cigarette. I could see her through the window at her work and she had a cigarette going constantly she smoked around 3 packs a day. She walked by and I heard her cough and she had that deep gurgling heavy smokers cough she earned from such heavy smoking. She was in her 30s but had been a chain smoker for a long time and quitting wasn't an option for this woman who lived on cigarettes. She was a dream a nicotine queen puffing on a cigarette white long and lean once she tried to quit and got real sad and mean and so she keeps on puffing she a cigarette feind.ReplyDelete

She sucked she puffed her cigarette she loved, she never thought in a million years she could get so hooked and love to smoke so much. She thought to herself, there's no possible way I could ever give up cigarette smoking, cigarettes are the love of my life, all I really want to do now is smoke, as much and as often as I can. I'm so glad I can smoke at work with the other ladies who love to smoke as much as I do. We had chain smoke Friday last week and the 5 of us smoked 168 cigarettes between us all. I smoked 32 in my shift 66 for the day and Shelia who smokes winston full flavor 100s smoked 40 in her 8 hour shift and 78 for her day. Needless to say the room was very smoky, and when we were all doing invoice reviews which is alot of close reading we all seemed to be dangling our cigarettes out of our mouths most of the time for better concentration. I arranged my vacation so I could go to a place that was smoker friendly, cause no way am I going to be somewhere where I cant have a cigarette at least every 30 minutes. Cigarettes run my life and I don't seem to care cause the euphoria I get when I smoke is more pleasureable than any pleasure I've ever had. Oh well, it's cigarettes from here on out, and great I'm going to smoke another cigarette, puff puff.ReplyDelete

The chameleon pop queen has been turned into a nude patron saint of animals and the environment by U.S artist Daniel Edwards.
His statue of Gaga – called 'Patron Saint of the Gulf' – sees the singer drenched in BP black oil and holding dying octopi, angry frogs and a struggling pelican.
Gaga, depicted as a modern-day Saint Francis of Assisi, is stood on top of the BP corporate logo and is covered in oil collected by Edwards during the infamous oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The comparisons between Lady Gaga and Saint Francis can be uncanny, said Edwards's spokesman Cory Allen.
"Lady Gaga is often depicted with animal imagery, much like Saint Francis, the son of a wealthy fashion merchant, who was also known for his fondness of flamboyant apparel."
The statue will go on display at the IAO Gallery in Oklahoma City on December 15.

I think it is. Holder is a member of the District of Columbia Bar. Under Rule 3.3(a)(3) of the Rules of Professional Conduct for D.C., entitled "Candor to the Tribunal,"
A lawyer shall not knowingly:... Fail to disclose to the tribunal legal authority in the controlling jurisdiction not disclosed by opposing counsel and known to the lawyer to be dispositive of a question at issue and directly adverse to the position of the client.
In my opinion, failing to disclose the importance of the Espy decision to the analysis of executive privilege in this case does, in fact, violate this rule of ethics. Holder would thus be theoretically sanctionable.

Scallop Ceviche with Sake-Walnut Oil Gremolata and Lime-Sake Dressing
This was an appetizer for a Kentucky Derby party I went to on Saturday (yes, the one with about 100 bottles of wine and Jason's 100 proof Mint Julep that practically killed me!). It was one of those things - "just bring wine, don't need anything else." Yeah, but it's hard to show up empty handed to a party like that. Plus, when I feel like cooking, I cannot be stopped.
So I questioned my logic of taking a seafood dish in a car ride, but trust me, I know what I'm doing. Deep ice in the ice chest, check. Also, when taking something like this from one place to another, you really need to think about flavor melds and plating. I figured I would package all the parts separate and assemble in-house. That worked just fine.
You might be wondering about the walnut oil - creativity, not confines. Since I knew I was going to use sake, I wanted an oil with nut attributes...one that worked with sake. It was a leap, but it worked.
Scallop Ceviche with Sake-Walnut Oil Gremolata:
1 pound large scallops (not Bay scallops), sliced in half across the body, i.e., left to right, not top to bottom. You will have roughly 1/2" medallions. Place those in a shallow dish, but one that will have a lid. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon, 4 Mandarin oranges, and 2 Tsp sake into dish. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced. Stir, cover, then place in fridge for 45 minutes. Stir, place back in fridge for at least another 45 minutes. (The scallops are probably ready to eat at about 60 minutes, but you can also keep them in marinade a few hours).
Meanwhile, prepare gremolata: Get about 1 Tsp lemon zest. Mince small handful of Italian parsley. Mince 2 cloves garlic. Mix it all up and add a splash of sake, and a spin of Walnut oil. Set aside.
Prepare Lime-Sake Dressing: Squeeze 2 limes into small bowl, add 1 Tsp sake, a spin of Walnut oil, and 1/4 minced Serrano chili. Add a dash of Kosher salt. Mix well and let stand at least 30 minutes before use. Mix well before using.
Now to the plating: Remove scallops to serving platter, one by one. Drain as you go, so they have a bit of moisture, but not dripping. Sprinkle a bit of Kosher salt across each one. Once they're arranged and salted, top each one with a bit of your gremolata. Then drizzle some Lime-Sake dressing all over. Finish with a small bit of lime. Ready to serve!

Chocolate and spice have a lot in common. For starters, they both have their origins in ancient civilisations which regarded these food items as magical items worthy of high reverence.
Spice, for example, can be dated back as far as 1500 BC to a time when Ancient Egyptians used spices and herbs such as garlic, fennel, coriander and thyme for the healing properties they boast. Chocolate, or cocoa as it was in its original form, was also considered to have amazing supernatural powers that would offer stamina and healing to the drinker. Montezuma, the famed leader of the Aztecs used to add a pinch of chilli to his hot cocoa in order to give it a kick.

Prudent Life-style for Children: Dietary Fat and Cholesterol
In the 1983 AAP Committee on Nutrition statement, "Toward a Prudent Diet for Children," the evidence linking dietary factors with the risk of atherosclerosis was reviewed.1 Based on the analysis of the available information, the Committee made seven recommendations concerning steps to be taken during childhood that would reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in adults. With respect to childhood eating habits, it was noted that, after 1 year of age, a varied diet that includes items from each of the major food groups is the best assurance of nutritional adequacy. The dietary trends in the United States during the last few decades, with emphasis on decreased consumption of saturated fats, cholesterol, and salt and increased intake of polyunsaturated fats, were recommended as sensible when followed with moderation.1
Since publication of that Committee statement, recommendations for alteration of childhood diets have also been made by the American Heart Association, 2 by the American Health Foundation, 3 and by a Consensus Development panel sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).4 All three of these groups have recommended more restrictive childhood diets than had been recommended by the Committee on Nutrition.
The American Heart Association2 recommends a total fat intake that would be approximately 30% of total calories; this 30% would include 10% or less from saturated fat, 10% from monounsaturated fat, and less than 10% from polyunsaturated fat. The recommendation for daily cholesterol intake was 100 mg/1,000 calories and not to exceed 300 mg/d, total.
Similar recommendations have been made by the American Health Foundation3 to achieve a target goal of serum total cholesterol values averaging 140 mg/dL for children and young adults.

I manage to make it outside after stumbling through the avalanche of books and overturned furniture on the living and dining room floors, retching violently but thankfully not actually vomiting in the mask I'm wearing. Still, I stick my head over the railing, belatedly yanking off said mask just in case I have another bout of the gags.
I suppose under normal circumstances, I might find Briscoe's horrified reaction comical, given that he has to have seen much worse in his line of work than a woman on the verge of puking her guts up. But there's nothing normal about having my home broken into and knowing it just as easily could have been me cut up into pieces instead of my belongings.
I'm lucky to be alive.
Had Dickhead not been the high-handed man he is by steamrolling me into staying at his place without asking me after heeding Briscoe's advice, it would have been me they found in there this morning.
I owe them my life.
The thought is sobering.
We go through life thinking we're invincible, thinking that nothing bad ever is going to happen to us because that kind of shit only happens to other people in other places far, far away from our perceived realities. It's only when all the terrible things we read about and see on TV every day involve us personally that we even begin to realize our own mortality.
"Sorry about the tape," I pant, referring to the yellow police tape I tore through when I thought I was going to lose my breakfast.
Still might lose my breakfast, at that.
It's going to get a lot messier if my stomach doesn't cooperate with my efforts to fight the revulsion of the unsettling scene inside.
"Understandable, given the circumstances," Briscoe says. "That's why we didn't want you going in there. I'm just glad, well, you know."
Yeah, I DO know.
That I'm alive.
"I'll need to take your statements, but I can do that later at your house," Briscoe tells us pointedly. "I hear the two of you have been very busy this weekend."
I can't wait to see Dickhead try to finagle his way out of this one.
Briscoe is pretty sharp, and I'm beginning to wonder if he might be an out-of-state transplant from a bigger city given his rather seasoned demeanor, although I can't detect a distinctive accent of any kind. I'm not so sure about his partner, though, since I've never seen him so much as open his mouth in my presence. I'll have to start calling him Harpo — as in the one Marx brother from the famous sibling comedy act who never spoke — if he doesn't start talking soon.
Briscoe escorts us downstairs to Dickhead's car once I give them the all-clear that my stomach has settled, making arrangements with Dickhead to drop by this evening after taking down his address. He also mentions his plans to contact the Derby County Sheriff's Department to beef up patrol units around Dickhead's house, particularly at night when we'll be at our most vulnerable while we're sleeping.
"Do you carry?" he quietly asks Dickhead.
"Yes," he says. "I have a handgun, but it's locked up in my safe. I didn't think to carry it on my person this morning, but I won't make that mistake again."
Briscoe gives him a look, starts to say something before Dickhead cuts him off.
"Yes, I have a valid concealed carry permit."
The detective nods.
"We have a lot to talk about later," Briscoe says instead. "Until then … "
He heads back upstairs, waving us off as Dickhead starts the car.
Dickhead doesn't attempt to make small talk as he drives, which is probably for the best.
There's nothing anyone can say or do to make me feel better, to make me forget what I've seen this weekend. Sorry. What WE'VE seen. I'm being selfish — I've been completely selfish, I'm ashamed to admit — only thinking of myself. All of this must affect Dickhead immensely, but he hides it well. Too well. I'll have to fix that. He needs to know it's OK to lean on someone else. That's how relationships work. That's how love works. He's only human like the rest of us, and it's not fair for him to comfort me and receive none in return. That's not an equal partnership, and it's damn well going to change whether he likes it or not. He'll just have to get used to it.
Our first stop is Bluegrass Mall — nothing like a little now-necessary shopping to take our minds off of everything else for a while — since it closes so early on Sundays.
My self-appointed fashion stylist takes over from there, miraculously selecting a week's worth of comfortable business attire and a few pairs of shoes at closeout prices. I still don't understand why someone who clearly has a great eye for fashion insists on dressing himself like a penguin every single day at the office. It just boggles the mind.
I am also the new owner — albeit inwardly kicking and screaming — of a cell phone, courtesy of Dickhead. It's an older Blackberry something or other like his, although I imagine his is the latest version of whatever the fuck model it is I — UGH — have sitting somewhere in the bottom of my purse. Where it will stay forever forgotten, if I have MY way.
Our next stop is Wal-Mart, where I pick out some casual clothes to wear away from the office while Dickhead is busy sending a flurry of texts nearby. But he stops as soon as I trudge to the department I dread most — lingerie — to grab the usual bras, underwear and socks, as well as a couple of sleeveless cotton nightgowns, before heading to the health and beauty department for toiletries.
He steers me to the pet section afterward, loading our cart with everything a cat could possibly need and beyond.
Dickhead doesn't let me pay for any of it, but I refrain from arguing with him after our, uh, heated confrontation in the first store we went into at the mall. We caused one hell of a commotion bickering about who was going to pay when we were at the register. Finally, after one of the sales clerks threatened to call security on us, I let him have his way so we didn't continue to make a spectacle of ourselves or ultimately get booted from the mall. I'm independent to a fault, although it doesn't seem like it lately with him coddling me so much — not that I'm complaining — and I pride myself on paying my own way. Always have and always will. It's my downfall, this hubris of mine, even though I know he means well, that he just wants to help.
One step at a time, Piccolo, one step at a time.
He calls Mandy Jo on his cell as we leave the store to ensure she's home so we can swing by to collect Stinky. Luckily for us, she is and Dickhead pulls up to her apartment complex mere minutes later. I ring the buzzer to get into her building and soon, we're inside her apartment trading pleasantries. She knows me well enough to know something's up, but Dickhead is no dummy and doesn't let the two of us out of his sight.
Stinky makes a beeline for me with a loud "prrrowww" when she hears my voice. I scoop her up and cuddle her as she purrs noisily, reveling in the attention. Dickhead reaches out to give her a tentative pet, and she rubs her face lovingly against his hand. He smiles, surprised by her uninhibited show of affection.
I wonder if he's ever had a pet. Probably not. It makes me ache for the lonely boy he was and the even lonelier man he became. But he isn't alone anymore.
He has me. And Stinky. He won't stand a chance against the two of us. I almost feel sorry for him.
Almost, but not quite.
I gently nudge Stinky into her carrier, thanking Mandy Jo for taking care of her while we were out of town. On our way out, Dickhead warns her not to go anywhere alone and orders her to stay away from my apartment because of "alarming new developments possibly related to the murder of Lester Smith," to use his exact words. She rolls her eyes until I beg her to listen to him. I want so badly to tell her about the break-in — she's bound to find out soon because she's been handling Coach Smith's story since he was found murdered Friday — but I dare not say anything until we have it out with the detectives.
It's getting late as Dickhead drives off. It's already after 5 p.m. We need to get to his place soon, else Briscoe and Harpo will beat us there.
As it is, we manage to beat them there. Just.
After depositing our packages in his bedroom, I open the carrier so Stinky can explore her unfamiliar surroundings while I set up her new litter box in the master bathroom. Dickhead, meanwhile, fills her bowls with food and water and is in the midst of placing them on the kitchen floor when we hear a knock on the front door. I enter the room as he looks through the curtains covering the massive living room window before opening it to the detectives, who nod their approval at his caution.
They sit at the table with Dickhead while I get the coffeemaker going, easily finding the supplies I need on the kitchen counter to complete the task quickly. I have a feeling we're going to need the caffeine to get through this interview.
Briscoe doesn't waste any time.
"Dead bodies seem to be turning up everywhere," he begins, carefully choosing his words while he and his partner observe us with hawk-like eyes that miss very little, if anything. "I received quite an interesting phone call from the Perrysville police chief early this morning. She said you asked her to do a welfare check on Bob Gallant. Now, why, after going to visit your employee's parents in Alabama, did you suddenly decide to go out of your way to check on the welfare of a former employee who's been gone — what? — two months? That concern seems a little overdue, don't you think?"
Dayum, he's good.
"How'd you know we went to see my parents on Friday?!" I blurt out, falling right into his trap.
"You're a reporter, aren't you?" he throws my profession up in my face like it's some kind of communicable disease. "We suspected you'd go see your parents as soon as we left the newspaper, so thank you for verifying that. I'm just glad your boss here had enough sense to go with you on your lengthy excursion. We're just curious if your parents told you something that they didn't tell the police that prompted this little detour of yours to Perrysville."
It's not a question. It's not exactly an accusation, either. In a manner of speaking.
"Would you like some coffee?" I ask, dodging their pointed stares.
"Yes, please," Briscoe says, willing, for the moment, to play the game my way. "I take mine black."
Just like Dickhead.
Harpo shakes his head. Negative.
I wait for the coffee to finish percolating before pouring three cups. I bring Briscoe and Dickhead theirs prior to doctoring mine with a bunch of milk and sugar and then seating myself at the now-crowded table.
"Piccolo here could regale you both with horror stories about me," Dickhead says, offering up a harsh truth of sorts. "I am a perfectionist, and I expect no less from those in my employ, as she will attest. I am extremely hard on my reporters and editors, and I make no apologies for it. We do things the right way or we don't do them at all. There is no in-between. I suppose the stress of working for me took its toll on Bob Gallant, as it has with others, and he quit two months ago with no notice. But that was of no consequence to me at the time because there is always someone waiting in the wings to fill an open position at the Daily Herald."
Not if they know what an asshole you really are to work for, pal.
I barely succeed in biting back the words, at once remorseful for even thinking them, knowing what I do about him NOW. I have this nasty habit of saying — out loud — what everybody's thinking, and HE knows that better than anyone else. Since Day One. But the dead giveaway, I'm sure, is the expression on my face that none of them miss.
"Sorry," I tell Dickhead, meaning it. "But you can be very difficult sometimes."
That's an understatement, if ever there was one.
"Piccolo and I have always been at odds," he admits, "but our trip to Alabama provided us with the opportunity to get to know one another outside of the office. We have since, for the most part, settled our differences, and, realizing the added stress I have placed upon her and her co-worker, Jackson MacKinnon, in our sports department, I wanted to try to make amends with Bob Gallant. He has no animosity whatsoever toward Piccolo, so it was the perfect opportunity for me to try to make things right with him. Hence, our DETOUR to Perrysville."
This right here is Dickhead at his finest. I am positively giddy.
Take that and shove it up your asses, you fuckers!
"Then why tell Maybelle Flowers you had his paycheck?" Briscoe pounces.
"In case they refused to do the welfare check, of course," he retorts.
Now, who has the upper hand?
"A welfare check that turned into another murder investigation, you mean?" Briscoe digs in, seemingly delighting in this masterful match of wits with Dickhead.
"Yes," Dickhead says wearily, "the murder of Jane Gallant, may she rest in peace."
This isn't going Briscoe's way at all, and by the looks of it, he isn't taking well to being bested by his adversary of the moment.
"And what about your, ah, new relationship with Miss Granger, here?" Briscoe purposely baits Dickhead out of pure frustration. "Maybelle Flowers had quite a lot to say about that, too."
Maybelle Flowers, bless her little heart, has a BIG mouth.
But seriously, what did we expect? That she'd keep her trap shut about us?
Not fucking likely.
Briscoe and Harpo would have a field day if they had an inkling that I'm in love with him. I wonder how he'll react if he ever finds out. Knowing him, he'll chalk it up to gratitude or trauma or shock or some other noble but lame excuse. But I know what I feel, and it's none of those things. I've been fighting it for so long, it feels good to finally welcome it with my arms outstretched.
"Why are you all staring at me like that?!" I ask, confused by the detectives' knowing looks and Dickhead's poleaxed expression.
"I believe Piccolo just answered your questions," Dickhead says as if in a daze, never taking his eyes off of me.
"But I didn't say anything!" I argue.
"Briscoe and Harpo?!" Briscoe asks incredulously. "Seriously?!"
Say it ain't so!
Even Harpo snorts at my choice of nicknames for them.
Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! I am SOOO screwed!
Did I really just say that out loud?!
"Yes, you did, Piccolo," Dickhead confirms, causing me to squirm under his relentless scrutiny.
"Do you have anything to add to that?" Briscoe recovers enough to goad Dickhead one last time.
"As a matter of fact, yes, I do," Dickhead replies thoughtfully, releasing me from that hypnotic gaze of his to focus on Briscoe again. "We know that Margaret Granger had a relationship with Lester Smith while she was separated from her husband, Bill. We also know that she went by the name Meggy O'Brien — a combination of her nickname and maiden name — when she met Lester Smith. This was about 10 months before Piccolo was born."
Briscoe impatiently taps his fingers on the table, acting as if he's bored when we all know he's anything but.
"Tell us something we don't know," he grumbles anyway.
"I will, IF you'll allow me to finish," comes the dry response. "Maybelle mentioned a rumor about Jane Gallant having an extramarital affair with a man named Smith many years ago. She also told us that Jane Gallant's husband, Jack, has been missing for about 25 years. He just disappeared one day, it seems. And no one has been able to locate Bob Gallant for two months. And after what we … we saw today, we know Piccolo is in grave danger. And possibly even her mum, er, mother.
"I believe it's all related, somehow. We just need to piece the puzzle together."
Briscoe is scribbling madly on his notepad, clearly impressed with Dickhead's hypothesis and his cool, concise demeanor while being interrogated.
"We could use someone like you on the force," the detective says wistfully.
"I'll pass," Dickhead says with a genuine smile, pausing long enough to wink at me as he gets up from his chair to walk the two detectives to the front door.
"We'll follow up on this information," Briscoe promises. "Don't go taking any chances investigating on your own. And keep your gun close."
The detective hesitates momentarily before walking back over to the table, where I'm petting Stinky, who just jumped into my lap.
"Miss Granger, we canvassed your, ah, neighborhood, and no one saw anything," he says apologetically. "Your neighbor in your apartment building was gone all weekend and didn't return until late this afternoon, so that's a dead end. The break-in was personal. Very personal. Whoever did it was in a rage and meant to harm, maybe even kill. We don't know who did this yet, but we have at least one murderer at large and possibly as many as two victims if the cases are, indeed, related. Please don't go anywhere alone, even in the daytime and even if you're just going to the bathroom.
"It's better to be safe than sorry."
Amen, brother.
Briscoe then informs Dickhead that the sheriff's department will have patrol units out to check the house at least once every hour, more if the manpower can be spared. He asks the detective to relay the message that he will be reactivating his outside motion-detector lights, having previously disabled them because animals constantly set them off.
On impulse, Briscoe whispers something to him, but I can't make out what he's saying. Dickhead nods, whispering something back just as unintelligibly. Both men snicker, clapping each other on the back.
It's almost laugh-out-loud hilarious watching them stand there talking like old chums after all of that psychological cat-and-mouse bullshit earlier.
Both give me sheepish grins.
I wonder what that's all about? Knowing THEM, it has something to do with ME.
"Good luck," Briscoe says, chuckling on his way out. "You've got your hands full with that one."
Bite me, pal.
Dickhead smirks.
"I give as good as I get."
Bring it on, boss man.
He closes the door, locks it securely, turns to face me.
"Alone at last," he says slowly, striding purposefully toward me.
"Now, about that revelation of yours … "

I had a pretty tame day at the gym this morning. I thought today might be my day off, but my husband was nice enough to go to work rather late so I could get to the gym before teaching my noon class. Thanks man!
It was all cardio today. 20 minutes on the elliptical and step-mill. I did intervals on both machines.
I taught Totally Toned at noon and that was about it today!
I am trying to figure out what my next Mission will be. I hate the transition! I am happy for taking it easy this week and am ok with not having a goal/plans either; but I know myself and this will get really old really fast! I need structure to stay on top of my game.
I do have a 10k in June, but I don't think of that as a Mission. I already have my base training down and can be ready to do a 10k by then for sure. But it's after that that I will be a fish out of water unless I make some decisions here pretty quickly. I have 3 things in mind and number 3 almost did not make the list, but who has a Top 2 List of anything?!?!
1. Figure Show in Oct.
2. Duathlons throughout this summer and fall
3. Marathon in Oct.
Pros and Cons
1. The cost, but it is local so that's a plus.
2. I don't have a bike! And a new/used bike is expensive.
3. I don't feel like training for one! I don't like to run ( very long distances) all year long. But friends are doing it and I like the group thing.
So there ya have it folks...........I have lots to figure out in the coming weeks!

Gravestones may soon completely disappear from the cemeteries of Russia, and the clearance of the churchyard becomes more vivid and colorful. According to employees of granite workshops, increasingly, their dead relatives, the Russians order a plate consisting of stones of different colors, and in place of the usual small black-and-white photos come in larger color images.
photo: Elizabeth Clasina
As suggested in an interview with "MK" experts funeral business, fotoprint on the monument, which often occupies a large part of the surface of the gravestone, in the near future, will replace traditional engraving. The perpetuation of loved ones in vivid the images became possible due to progress in the field of printing. On a special "printers" pattern is applied to the workpiece and then fix the varnish. This image should last for several decades and does not fade under the influence of external factors.
In addition, more "colored" steel and other decorations of the graves. For example, flower vases now are not one of the varieties of granite and of several different shades.
Vases made up of several stones, is a fresh solution, — says the Director of the workshop granite products Sergey Shuban. — This, however, comes much more expensive than standard vases because of the time spent on such work. But the demand for them is great, although adjusting it to the monument to the colored vase is hard enough. By the way, despite higher prices, about 20% of our business is to work on individual sketches. I would also note that the vase that is chosen by people from the standard line, vary greatly depending on the region. For example, in the Bryansk region hit records granite "tulips", and in Moscow prefer more of a classic vase form — type cropped chess pawns.
Also, the experts funeral industry noted that wrought-iron fences around the graves have ceased to be in demand. Employees attribute this to the fact that more and more people are inclined in the direction of the cemeteries of the European type in which decided not to block their plots any iron goods.

The use of mobile phones among teenagers (college and high school students) has been considerably democratized for several years. According to a TNS-Sofres survey in October 2009, almost three-quarters (73%) of adolescents aged 12-17 reported having a mobile phone (77% of girls and 70% of boys). It is the oldest, the high school students, who are the most equipped: 95% of the 16-17 year olds have a telephone, compared with 76% of the 14-15 years and 49% of the 12-13 years old.
This phenomenon of equipment massification is coupled with the arrival on the market of smartphones: true mini-computers, they also embed the functions of a personal digital assistant. Its functions are multiple: calendar, web browsing, e-mail consultation, instant messaging, GPS, etc.
If these new uses are democratized, the smartphone is used only to telephone, it is often outlawed in school; the private sphere, it is not considered a learning tool.
However, many applications related to the GPS chip could be part of geographic learning. Associated with a field trip, they can induce a different approach to the territories, linked to a new perception of the space lived or traveled. Mingling real and virtual, they participate in an "augmented geography".
How is it possible to integrate these new tools in a geared way into the teaching of geography, without succumbing to the sirens of technological innovation?

I frequently visit this restaurant before going to the nearby Schouwburg for a performance. It it very reliable and has a menu which changes with the seasons. On this visit I had a duck salad to start and then pasta with truffles. Both dishes were tasty and imaginative.

Diep dinercafe was a good place to go for a dinner, either with friends or with family and kids. We always enjoy a good braised sucadelap with a glass (or two) of good Malbec. Sucadelap was as good as always, it just melted in your mouth. Our two kids had 2 (kids)portions of zeewolf with fries and ice cream. The fish was very fresh and it was perfectly made. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. In the winter you can sit next to the fireplace. It is always worth revisiting.

Excellent quality of food. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and the price/value was fair. Service was very slow - Don't go if you are hungry, but only if you are prepared to wait and have a leisurely meal.

I've been really bummed, as last week was super busy & I missed bedtime a few nights. One of those nights was J's tball game. This bothered me a lot. I mean, tears, angry words, painful hating the fact I carry our insurance, a must have in today's world with my psoriasis kind of week.
The only bright spot was I was able to come late to work on Friday & enjoy Muffins with Mom at J's school.
Which was very delightful & fun, and I would not miss that for the world, but that is not how my heart was sent soaring last night. Being last night was Tuesday, and Muffins with Mom was Friday. Small point, I get it.
No, you make a working mom's heart soar when you approach her at tball practice to inquire if the person with J on Tuesday was in fact his after school nanny. After learning, it was in fact Miss Cheryl, you proceed to RAVE about her. Rave at how awesome she was with Jacob. Rave on how well she related to him. How well he related to her. How well she fit in a seamless transition to my being there. How she redirected him similarly to if I was at the game. Being right there after the game to congratulate him.
I cannot say enough how thankful I am to have found Miss Cheryl last Spring to join our family this past fall.
After practice, I was looking at the flower arrangement J & Matt sent me for Mother's Day and recalling the last flower arrangement Matt sent me was the day we interviewed each other for this role she would accept to play in our lives. Our wedding anniversary is May 25th, and Matt had sent a beautiful arrangement in celebration of that date. It arrived while J & I were at a birthday party for a friend of his, and was a delightful surprise opening to our interview.
Our lives have all changed since that Spring day last year, and I know without a doubt, I would not have emotionally survived these changes if it were not for the complete confidence I have in Cheryl. Thank you for all you do!!!

Tri-wheeled Omni-bot – Update II
Peter McKinnon from Rotacaster pointed out from looking at my last update the I've managed not to take into account that for proper Rotacaster Omni-wheels action to work on myOmni-directional robot, the wheels have to always remain parallel to the ground. When the legs were raised & lowered independently, or together the wheels where never parallel to the floor. My initial response to Peter was thank you for bringing it to my attention & it will be an easy fix.

Tri-wheeled Omni-bot Update
This is as far as I've managed to get without the proper Rotacaster Omni-wheels on my main Omni-directional robot. The legs can be raised & lowered independently, to lift the body 150+mm above the floor. The 3x Ultrasonic Sensors appear to be working together and measures the distance to objects o.k.I'm now working on programming the behaviours and using the Playstation 2 Controller.

The mid and north Essex strategic road network has an essential role in supporting our businesses, jobs and future. Much of that network functions effectively, but we require a final strategic link to connect the network across the north of Chelmsford.
In 2007, Essex County Council and its partners laid out a long term plan for a Chelmsford North East bypass and safeguarded the land. Safeguarding is part of the planning process, and helps protect land set aside for infrastructure projects such as this one from being used for other purposes.
In 2008, due to economic challenges and reduced funding for local authorities, the scheme was put on hold. However, the corridor has been safeguarded since then, and the new Local Plan provides an opportunity to update the safeguarded corridor, by making sure there is sufficient space for the scheme and that no land is safeguarded unnecessarily.
In 2015, Essex County Council identified additional funding to allow work to be undertaken, including a review and update of the highways design and safeguarded corridor. The work undertaken in 2015 has allowed Essex County Council to identify a more realistic footprint of the scheme and the land required to deliver the preferred route for the Bypass.
The safeguarded corridor will be allocated in Chelmsford City Council's new Local Plan.
The proposed updates to the safeguarded corridor were therefore presented as part of Chelmsford City Council's Draft Local Plan – Preferred Options consultation, which ran from March 2017 to May 2017.
Feedback received during the consultation has resulted in some further revisions to the safeguarded corridor, which are now being presented in the final round of consultation before submission of Chelmsford City Council's Local Plan.
This consultation focuses on the compliance of the Local Plan with legal requirements and national policy. It does not re-examine the case for the bypass, the preferred route or junction designs.
The proposed safeguarded corridor will generally reflect a 100m boundary, which is wide enough to ensure the bypass can be built, connect to the local road network, and provide land for environmental mitigation. In addition, the proposed safeguarded corridor would update the land required for junctions, structures and other key highway features, such as local road diversions.
The updated safeguarded corridor is shown on the Policies Map which is part of the consultation.
You can view the consultation documents on the Consultation Portal at: www.chelmsford.gov.uk/planningpolicyconsult
You can also find out more, including other ways to respond, at: www.chelmsford.gov.uk/new-local-plan
At a later date, after the corridor is safeguarded, there will be further engagement and consultation on the Chelmsford North East Bypass as part of the statutory planning process before the scheme is finalised. The scheme will be presented in detail as part of any formal planning application, providing the opportunity for further comments to be made and assessed.

Bijan's, the bar (and, now, restaurant) in the old Kili (and subsequently short-lived Cafe Piragua) space, is now serving food. The menu posted outside has a vaguely Persian bent to it -- lots of lamb dishes, Persian-spiced chicken wings, etc. -- although there's nothing specifically Persian. Kind of like pub grub with a bucket of advieh sitting by. I haven't had a chance to stop by yet, but it's good to see that kitchen in use again.
Forgot to mention, it's at 81 Hoyt, between State and Atlantic.

My husband and I tried to give our boys many different experiences, but one thing we couldn't give them was a sister. As I said earlier, we had a name picked out, but Allah never gave us a girl.
We did teach them how to treat girls and women, though. It wasn't very hard at first. When they were little, they all had female pediatricians. One day my oldest was looking at a picture book and where it indicated a nurse he said, "Doctor." They all knew early on that woman have important roles to fill in society.
As they grew I wanted to teach them how to treat their future wives. I did it through a mantra: "You never hit a girl, you never hit a woman." And as they got older they would try to trip me up with imaginary scenarios: What if she hits me first; What if she's bigger than I am; What if. . .My answer was always the same: "You never hit a girl, you never hit a woman."
I knew that abuse was, and is, an important issue in our society and I wanted to make sure my sons had no part in it. It helped that their father is gentle. In fact, that's one reason I married him. He has never laid an angry hand on me, and I know he never will.
When I read about marital abuse I think about the mothers. We need to teach our sons early. Let them know that violence is not the way to solve problems. Then model that lesson. If enough mothers teach it, and enough fathers show it, we could eliminate abuse.
I won't pretend that my boys were never "violent." They're boys. Occasionally they did hit one another or wrestle in anger. But more often it was in joshing, in fun. I worked hard to build bonds among them, and they have those still.
And my boys did wrestle. Oddly, the time they most wanted to wrestle was right before we prayed, after the call to prayer had been made and before we lined up. It seemed they needed to get out that excess energy before spending several minutes standing still and concentrating. There was a point, when they were a certain age, when this happened nearly every time. And I let them wrestle. I didn't have anything breakable in the house and I reminded them not to break each other. They never did. They were always careful that way.
I think boys have a need to be active, to be "violent" in a positive sense. And I provided them those opportunities at home, with their brothers, in an environment where nothing would be broken and no one would be hurt. I'd like to talk more about boys and "fighting," but that's a topic for another post.


text: So I am a part of another forum and have been for a few years. EVERY TIME I see new posters come in I always read them to see if they are people I may know. (I am a skydiver and lots of new jumpers take advantage of that forum.) I moved out to the country two years ago and said the first thing I wanted was chickens! Well after a few weeks we got them, after two years, something else got them, and now a few months later I am trying to "rebuild" my "flock". I now have what I was told was a rooster (weird, don't they crow?). I will keep it whether it is or not but maybe he is just too young! So hello to you all out there! Chickens are awesome!

"I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it but I didn't. Not really. Only the smudginess of it, the pink slippered all contained semiprecious eagerness of it. I didn't realise it sometimes would be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea, because it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know; don't know about the in-between bits of it. The gory bits of you and the gory bits of me."
-Like Crazy
Warning: This post contain personal feelings and emotion.
Its 2am and I'm wide awake so I decided to pull out my laptop and write while watching my favourite movie, Like Crazy (2011). Watching this film reminds me of us. And it wasn't a favourite until I met you, until I met us. I know we ask ourselves almost all the time, "Why me?". Constantly wondering and questioning the same things: why or how we've end up here, together, this long, this apart, for five years. We don't always agree on the same things, we argue about everything almost every time, we drive each other against the walls, and we have different opinions on everything. Well, except red velvet cupcakes and chicken nuggets. Like you said, why me? Why us? How us?
But this, this movie, reflects why. Like Crazy although fiction, tells the ugly truth. The actual truth about long distance relationship and how hard it is to stay in love despite being half way across the world from each other. It shows how despite how much we seek each others' time and attention
almost every second, we both have our own daily life to go on with. Unlike everyone else who gets to go to dinner with their partner, lover or husband, at the end of the day we go home to a meal alone. Having dinner for one. Cooked or take outs, still for one. Our love is all consuming, but yet at the same time, we didn't care. Its an obsession, it may be dangerous, but we still wanted it. We wanted that love. Our love. The love between us. Being apart this long and having fought many times and said horrible things til we wanted to leave us, we never did. Why? What is it about us that neither of us want to let go off.
But that's just it,
You don't give up on the people you love. No matter how darn difficult it is.
We're still working on each other, being better people for one another. Having patience and strength, and changing our bad habits or attitude. The spark between us burst in flames every season we meet. But when we're apart, that spark is a planet away to find. Some days the spark was hard to find, and some days, we couldn't find it.
And that's just it,
If things were easy to find, they wouldn't be worth finding.
I strongly feel that if I were to answer 'why', I would be writing a story that will be ending. And thats not what our love is. Our love doesn't end at the last argument we had a couple of nights ago. Our love doesn't end at our differences. Our love doesn't end at the last take off. Our love doesn't end when our fight-on-the-phone end. Our love doesn't end when you storm off my house or when I got upset wouldn't speak to you. Despite our 101 arguments, the love never ended, and in fact, it grew more for each other. With every argument or fight, we realise how wrong we are or how dumb we are, or how stupid we are in the end and what we learned for the past four years, is how we'd rather lose the argument than lose each other. We're both stubborn and hard-headed. But for the past five years I strongly feel that the absolute honest answer to why is the fact that we've grown so much together. How lucky am I to watch our love grow for each other despite always being half way across the world from you.
We've learn a lot about each other and care so much for one another. We've seen each other at our best, our worst, and our weakness, and albeit all that, we still want to be the best person we can be for each. You don't make it to 18,000 miles apart from your loved one and not have one fight that breaks you. But what we are is balance. What we are is patience (half the time!). What we are is forever. And I pray to God that no matter where life takes us, we'll always find our way back to each other. And that no matter how exhausted we get, we'll always find that spark that light us up five years ago. Catching a movie, a quick cruise on the highway, getting our favourite fast food, hiking, or just a walk at the beach. I guess that's why I have so much love for you. Is that despite all our arguments, fights, distance, you still want to love me. You still want to be with the person you fell in love with. And on darker days, you still find it in your heart to believe in us. On uglier days, you still have it in your heart to remember the person you want to be with me, you still want the person you fell in love with, and still want to find her, to find me. Which is very rare today. This half-way-across-the-world-relationship is one distance not even a phone call or plane ticket can fix. But it is us, its what we are. I hope greatly after this Summer, we will no longer have to be a world apart.
London will always have a place in our hearts.
The key to relationship is communication and effort. No matter the distance.
All my love,

Heavy rain will set in across the Whanganui region on Tuesday evening, and authorities are keeping an eye on the Waitotara river.
In 2015 the small town of Waitotara was flooded after the river rose to 15 metres.
Residents Newshub spoke to are worried their homes could be inundated again and some are moving furniture off the ground.
Farmers are moving their stock to higher ground and some paddocks in the Uruti Valley are flooded.
Waitotora Valley Road, which runs along the river, has been closed and Ngamatapouri school about 50km from Waitotara has been evacuated.
South Taranaki Mayor Ross Dunlop told Newshub the river is lower than initially thought. It's about 11-12 metres this afternoon.
He says the river is unlikely to rise above 2015 levels, when serious flooding took place, but authorities are keeping a close eye on it. A decision on whether to evacuate the town will be made before nightfall, however Mr Dunlop says that's unlikely.
Civil Defence has been activated in Taranaki. Heavy rain is expected over the region from 10:00pm and will continue through to late Wednesday morning.
Strong winds are also expected, and thunderstorms are possible.
Heavy rainfall expected across the Taranaki region:
- 250-300mm expected over Mt Taranaki from 9am today until 9pm tomorrow
- 100-150mm expected elsewhere in the region over the same period
- 20-35mm per hour during heavy periods
