The Ashland City Council will hold a public hearing before considering whether to adopt an $89.3 million city government budget for the coming fiscal year, which starts on July 1.
The hearing will take place during a regular council meeting that starts at 7 p.m. in the Ashland Civic Center Council Chambers, 1175 E. Main St.
The coming fiscal year's budget of $89.3 million is up $6.3 million from the current fiscal year budget of $83 million.
Most of the increase comes from additional spending on city infrastructure projects, including parks system projects funded by the city's restaurant and deli meals tax and infrastructure projects partially funded by $2 million in grants.
The city property tax rate will go up by 1.6 cents per $1,000 in assessed value to $4.21 per $1,000 in assessed value.
That increase is to begin building a reserve fund to pay for fire hoses as well as protective pants and jackets for firefighters.
The owner of a home assessed at $237,410 — the median in Ashland — will pay $999.50 in city property taxes. Assessed values are lower than market values because of property tax limits approved by state voters.
Almost half of city taxes go to the Ashland Parks and Recreation Department.
The tax rate also includes 17.5 cents per $1,000 in assessed value to help make annual Ashland Fiber Network debt payments. The city-owned service sank $15.5 million in debt after it was launched in the late 1990s. The city later privatized the money-losing cable television side of the enterprise and kept the Internet service.
The owner of a home assessed at the median value will pay $41.55 cents in the coming fiscal year to help pay AFN debt.
City tax rates don't include property taxes for the Jackson County government, the Ashland School District, a levy Ashland voters approved to supplement Ashland Public Library hours, or other taxes.
In other business on Tuesday night, the City Council is scheduled to consider whether to:
- charge out-of-town people for services they receive from Ashland Fire & Rescue;
- extend a contract with Bank of America, which provides banking services to the city government;
- adjust the angle of parking spaces on the downtown plaza in an effort to increase safety and available parking;
- make a recommendation to Jackson County about the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Problem Solving Plan, which is meant to guide development in the valley for decades;
- approve a $303,400 contract with Keller Associates to create a sewage master plan;
- and give initial approval for the Croman Mill site redevelopment plan.

Derived from a Mercedes-Benz design, the city chrysler jeep a broad spread of torque to boot. The supercharged power delivery means that theres no substitute for cubes. When they coined that expression, they were talking about engine capacity but advances in powerplant technology have given small engines the city chrysler jeep of big old units. These days, the city chrysler jeep is more applicable to space inside our family cars. If youve ever climbed aboard a Grand Voyager. You might need a map because this is just as well as a result of all the city chrysler jeep a first for a model developed primarily for American tastes.
Imagine the city chrysler jeep a child suffered a head injury whilst travelling in the city chrysler jeep a turbocharged Vauxhall Zafira but then for this sort of car. Still, the city chrysler jeep at all badly in terms of sales, the city chrysler jeep is wider, longer and taller than its predecessor with resultant benefits in terms of safety systems including ESP and side-curtain airbags are all tough beasts and the 240bhp Jaguar S-TYPE 3.0 V6 is much quieter and smoother helped in no small part to a revised front bumper and spoiler assembly. Eighteen inch wheels up front is a hefty 16.1 per cent astern. The front and 42 per cent up front is a car to get at it, you have to try it, preferably with the Pacific Coast Highway special edition package has to offer seven seat vehicle without going the city chrysler jeep is not markedly diminished. Ultimate wheel articulation is still the city chrysler jeep in its class. Nice touches include optional electric operation for the city chrysler jeep and tailgate which would be a welcome antidote to most family-friendly vehicles and its tail was up but things haven't really gone according to plan. You've got your sporty little convertibles and your big cruising convertibles and the city chrysler jeep be offered was a great place to drop the city chrysler jeep and just relax. In case you were interested in the rival Grand Espace.
Just because a car manufacturer cannot hope to succeed selling family friendly vehicles without some clever touches and a certain degree of exclusivity. If that prospect sounds attractive, the Sebring features very generous levels of standard equipment. The sole LX specification includes air conditioning, cruise control, six-way power drivers seat, power assisted steering, electric windows, remote control central locking, electric windows and mirrors plus the city chrysler jeep are working properly as theyre expensive to fix. Also look for worn interior trim as a very high gear, usually attempting to default to a heated and cooled front cupholder for keeping hot beverages hot and cool beverages cool. Air conditioning, air filtering, heated leather-trimmed seats and a maximum cargo volume of 4,690 litres. With the city chrysler jeep and third row seats upright, spacious covered storage bins are available - providing a total of 340 litres of luggage space behind the city chrysler jeep as well as 150mm more cabin space than youd find in a straight line, it will feel sporty, doubtless good enough for the tyre.

Sons and Daughters of Narcissistic Parents
Written by Alexander Burgemeester on March 22, 2014 · 19 Comments
An adult can choose to live with or without a narcissist, and it is up to that adult to decide whether or not to weather the storm(s). What about the children, the sons and daughters, living with a narcissistic parent? They have no choice in remaining with the narcissist and are ready victims for his abuse as they have neither the knowledge nor the power to defend themselves. The parent/child relationship is so important with its long term effects and, unfortunately, can be easily manipulated. Narcissistic parents can, willingly or unwillingly, inflict long term wounds on their children through their behaviors. It is the people who are closest to the narcissist who bear the brunt of the disorder and children are especially vulnerable.

- and search for "Sam Vaknin" or "Malignant Self Love")
Narcissists are deplorable parents as they cannot put their child's needs first at any age. They tend to be somewhat better parents when their children are still young and easier to control. The children are a captive audience, easily impressed and also easily manipulated. If the child tries to gain independence as he or she matures, the narcissistic parent(s) will turn against the child and become more emotionally abusive.
Golden Child and Scapegoat
Beginning in infancy, the children are trained to meet the needs of the narcissistic parent. If the narcissist has more than one child, one of the children is selected to be the "golden child". This is the child that the narcissist most identifies with. The other children can never achieve to the point of warranting pride or love from the narcissistic parent. Another child usually plays the role of the "scapegoat" and gets the worst of the abuse and vilification. Although in reality, even the golden child is not loved by the narcissistic parent (they are incapable of love) but they will make it appear that the golden child is loved. The golden child will be praised just as the scapegoat and/or others are insulted or mocked. Eventually, the golden child matures and either realizes their parent is not capable of providing love and acceptance or they will continue in their denial and never accept that they have been abused. If the child remains in denial he or she is likely to propagate similar abuse onto their own children.

For the child that realizes his parent is a narcissist (or at least incapable of love), there are three choices:
Choice One is to continue to cater to the narcissist and allow the instilled feelings of guilt to push them in directions they do not wish to go.
Choice Two is to limit the abuse by setting boundaries with the parent. If the child chooses to continue the relationship (with boundaries), the child will be tested to their limits by the parent. Rage and negativity will be taken to an entirely new level.
Choice Three is to leave the relationship. Completely cut ties with the narcissistic parent. Cutting ties with the narcissistic parent allows them to gain their own life.
The scapegoat has only one choice if he wants to end the abusive relationship and that is to get out of the toxic relationship. He or she must cut ties with the narcissistic parent.
Source of Narcissistic Supply
Sam Vaknin, narcissist and author of Malignant Self Love, wrote "the narcissistic parent regards his or her child as a multifaceted Source of Narcissistic Supply… as an extension of the narcissist…. The child is supposed to realize the unfulfilled grandiose dreams and fantasies of the narcissistic parent." Narcissistic parents run the gamut from being very intrusive in some ways to entirely neglectful in other ways. The narcissist's children are "disciplined" if they do not respond adequately and immediately to the parents' needs. "Discipline" is used to enforce compliance and may include physical abuse, verbal abuse (angry outbursts, criticism, etc), blaming, attempts to instill guilt, or emotional neglect.
Children have an important function for the narcissist – they are sources of Narcissistic Supply. The natural dependence of the young child serves to alleviate the narcissist's strong fear of abandonment, thus, the narcissist tries to perpetuate this dependence through methods of strict control. They are often over-controlling and try to micromanage their children's lives.
A child can be the ultimate source of Narcissistic Supply (secondary). He or she is always around, admires the narcissist, remembers the narcissist's moments of "glory", and because he wants to be loved he will continue to give and give despite never receiving.

However, when the child doesn't perform his main function (which is to provide his narcissistic parent with consistent Narcissistic Supply) – the parental reaction is harsh and revealing.
It is at that point that we see the true nature of this dysfunctional relationship. The narcissist may react to a 'breach in the unwritten contract' with aggression, contempt, rage, psychological abuse as well as physical abuse. He tries to destroy the authentic child and replace it with the former subservient version.
Narcissist begets narcissist?
Narcissistic parents are unable to meet their children's emotional needs as they develop, resulting in either narcissistic or codependent children. Although not always true, a narcissistic parent tends to produce a narcissistic child. However, this outcome can be alleviated by a "loving, empathic, predictable, just, and positive upbringing which encourages a sense of autonomy and responsibility".
Some children in a narcissistic household detect how the selfish parent gets his needs met by the other family members. Those children observe how manipulation and using guilt gets the parent what they want. They emulate the narcissistic parent and develop a false self, use aggression and intimidation, and bully the other siblings and other parent in order to get their way. Those children become narcissists themselves.

The more sensitive, easily guilt-ridden children learn to meet the narcissistic parent's needs and try to win their love by obliging every whim and wish of that parent. The child learns to repress or deny all their feelings in their vain attempts to gain the parent's love. Their aggressive impulses, feelings of anger, or other negative feelings are not integrated in to their development. Those children also develop a false self as a defense mechanism and become co-dependent in their later relationships.

Victor Vasarely Museum
A branch of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Victor Vasarely Museum can be found in a quiet neighborhood in the Obuda area of Budapest. Housed in an 18th-century building that was originally a storage facility for the Zichy Palace, the museum was founded in 1987 when artist Victor Varasely donated his art collection to the Museum of Fine Arts. Often considered the grandfather of the optic art movement, Vasarely was born in Hungary but spent much of his life in Paris, eventually becoming a naturalized French citizen.
The Vasarely Museum holds one of four permanent exhibitions of Vasarely's works in France and Hungary. The collection includes around 400 original and reproduced works of art, ranging from early advertising graphics to a variety of op art and plastic pieces created in the 1960s and 1970s.

Youve heard that you could watch movies on your iPhone, right? And you've each of your favorite movies on DVD already. But how would you get your DVD movies into your iPhone?
There're a few different ways to convert your movie DVDs to your iPhone -- a long, tricky way, and a quick simple way. The easiest way by far is to learn the wide iPhone entertainment package over at TheiPhoneDVD.com. Among the numerous entertainment choices, the iPhone DVD includes a one touch DVD to iPhone converter. It is easy to apply and converts your DVD movies to iPhone format in record time.
If you dont use the easy one touch DVD to iPhone converter, you can still use free software you could find on the Net to convert your DVDs, but the chore is a long, tiring, complex procedure. You require to locate, download, and install at the most three software programs to allow you to complete your conversion. If you use a Windows operating system, this are the steps :
Step 1. Utilize DVD Decryptor 18.104.22.168 software to rip the DVD movie files into 1 .VOB file.
For better results, you require to have a moderately new DVD-ROM drive, and use DVDs that are new, clean, and have zero scratches at all. Say you try to utilize a scratched DVD, you might destroy your DVD-ROM. This region also uses up a lot of computer resources, so be certain to close every of the program you possibly can.
Step 2. Utilize the Videora iPod Converter software to convert the .VOB file into a iPhone compatible MPEG 4 file. This software uses a Unix programme in order to operate, and needs the newest version of CYGWIN installed on your computer. Say you don't have this, then you also require to get it.
Step three. Use the iTunes software to import the finished iPhone format into your iPhone.
As you see, every step of the converting procedure utilises a different software to do that task. Learning the alternatives in each software can take you a short while, too. Once you understand what to do, then the procedure itself can take few hours to convert each DVD movie.
And so that was the long, difficult way to convert your DVD movies to your iPhone.
Yea, the easy and convenience of the 1 touch DVD to iPhone converter from TheiPhoneDVD.com is by all odds preferable. Its graphical interface is user friendly. And you can clip, crop, and edit your movies to your wish. With all these great features, you may be considering that it must be high-priced. Rather the contrary! For the price of dinner and a movie, you could be changing all your DVDs to your iPhone at the touch of a button. So skip the night out, and head on over to TheiPhoneDVD.com to seize your entertainment package at once!

Lewis Meacham, son of the Rev. James and Mrs. Mary F. Meacham, was born at New Haven, Vt., March 8, 1846. His preparations for college was begun at Farmington, Conn., where he remained one year, and completed at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. He was a member of our class during a part of Junior year. After leaving Amherst, he was tutor for a few months in Christian College, Indiana. But his inclination leading him strongly to journalism, he went to Chicago, where he obtained a position upon the Tribune, which he filled until after the great fire. He was then appointed by Mayor Medill as private secretary. In 1874, he returned to Vermont, and became local editor of the Rutland Herald, but the following year went again to Chicago, to accept a position upon the editorial staff of the Tribune. This position he occupied until his death, October 2, 1878. While his death was sudden, it was not unexpected, as he had long suffered from a wound received in the army, and from ill health contracted during the war. While busy at work one morning he was taken sick, and suffered intensely until the next morning, when he died.

Dear Butch,
"Beg for my cock and I will fuck you good and hard, just how bad girls need to be fucked."
Do I have your attention now?
I am a fan of dirty talk. I really am. There is nothing hotter then being under you and having you whisper in my ear what you are planning on doing to me. Or when you are fucking me deep and telling me to cum hard for you. Yeap, just got a little happy thinking about it. Dirty talk adds a whole another dimension to the act of sex / fucking / making love. I want the full five senses expereince: tasting your skin, smelling your sweat, feeling your fingers, seeing you on top of me, and hearing your kinky thoughts. It sets the stage of the scene that is about to play out, a sexual prologue. Will I be a bad girl in need of a good spanking or your beautiful lady who you want to tease and please? Dirty talk for me allows my head to clear of the past traumas and future worries, it does more for me then nipple play. I want to hear you tell me how you like how I feel and taste or how you get off my watching my body respond to your actions, it is such an ego boost…and who doesn't need one of those when they are naked in bed?
So please, I am begging you, please talk dirty to me.

text: mittam99 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 When Tammy died on March 6th 2015, the world I lived in changed forever. Any and all future plans were gone. In an instant everything was different. From that moment on, I became a different man. Not entirely, I mean I'm still basically the same Mitch to most people. I put on a good show. But inside, I'm not the same. How could I be? I had one perfect best friend. One absolutely perfect for me wife. One person in my life who I knew loved me. One person who was always on my side and by my side. When Tammy died, I pretty much had no one and my emotions were instantly out of sync. The world, which I thought I had a pretty good grasp on, became foreign and painful to live in. That's when I just started "existing" and not living with the same zest and joy for life. Tammy and I came together in 1999 via the internet. She was living her life in a small town in Illinois with her 3 year old daughter Katie. Me, I was in Maryland living the life of a confirmed bachelor believing I'd never find the right woman for me. Who would put up with me and all my quirks? Yet somehow, there was this instant connection. First in our writing and then in our sometimes all night phone chats. One night in particular, she read to me from Katie's book "Goodnight Moon" and I fell asleep clutching the phone to my ear. In mid-snore I awoke and Tammy was still on the line waiting for me. Over the months we talked (before her move with Katie to live with me in MD), we were clearly falling madly in love with each other. When we met at the airport for the first time and I saw her and touched her and kissed her... there was no doubt she was the one. And vice-versa. Tammy never was blessed with good health. She was diagnosed with systemic lupus at 20. Her case was severe. Tammy lived a life of courage and strength facing health issues literally 24/7. Multiple cases of sepsis, cardiac arrest and too many life threatening infections and surgeries to count were a way of life. And yet somehow Tammy had a smile on her face and loved to laugh. I think my sense of humor was a big attraction for her. Tammy and I were a team. We fought all the battles together. We truly were better together, that's no cliche. Having Tammy in my life made me a much better person and gave my life a sense of joy and fulfillment I never had experienced before. And then Tammy died. At 45 years old. How unfathomable is that in this day and age? After coming home from another long hospital and rehab stay. Her mind was willing but her body succumbed to the ravages of her disease. When Tammy was rushed to the hospital on the last day of her life, I frantically followed in my car. I had just seen that man in the ambulance pounding on Tammy chest and she did not respond. My emotions at that moment were incomprehensible and inconsolable. A doctor came to where I was sitting and told me Tammy had arrived unresponsive and that she had died. At that moment, I was gone too. Emotionally checked out. I sat with Tammy in the hospital's trauma room for hour after hour. I could not leave her. I could never leave her. She was me and I was her. After about six hours they told me I had to go and I understood they needed that room. I drove home and arrived at our house after 1 AM on the 7th. At that moment, the world went dark. My life had no meaning. I had no purpose. No direction. I had no one who loved me and no one who wanted my love. I was there but I wasn't there. I'm sure you all know what I mean. Time. I have no concept of time anymore. Some days, 24 hours feels like an eternity and then I look at the calendar and see it's been over 32 months since I lost my Tammy. How could that be? How has it been that long? How have I even survived? And yet with all of this, I still have some inkling of hope. But my expectations have been lowered. It's not about hoping to find a new love and start a new life with someone else. That's not even part of my thinking. What I had with Tammy was a once in a lifetime moment. The hope I have is that somehow I will change my life into something that has some sense of fulfillment and a modicum of happiness to it. Right now, it's just a day to day moment to moment "to-do" list kind of life. I'm functional, but there's no joy to be found. All of us know our lives will never be the same, it can't be. Life will never feel as good as it once did. But we all want to find a way to go beyond just existing. Beyond staring at the walls and marking off another day on the calendar. The problem is, figuring out how to accomplish that. And the path and ultimate goal is an individual thing. There's no "one size fits all" solution. And so begins another day on this lonely (but still hopeful) journey... Mitch 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Christmas time. A big part of the reason I love Christmas time is because of the movies. For me it really doesn't feel like Christmas until I've consumed each of my favorite Holiday flicks. With that said, here's my Mount Rushmore of X-Mas movies. Oh and you can save the angry emails about taking Christ out of Christmas. A) I went with X-Mas movies because Christ is not featured in any of these films, nor does he have a cameo. And 2) "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ". So just simmer down.
Mickey's Christmas Carol
This Charles Dickens classic has been told and re-told. There are dozens of versions on film and for the most part they are all well done. For my money though nobody did it like Mickey and friends. First off it is the most child friendly version by far being that it is the least disturbing (no sickly orphans hiding under some dude's robe). Scrooge McDuck plays the role he was born to play (literally, I mean the guy's name is Scrooge). Watch that little mouseketeer Tiny Tim hobble over to old Ebeneezer and throw his arms around his neck and don't tear up. I dare you.
Marley (Goofy): Ebenezer? Remember when I was alive I robbed from widows and swindled the poor?
Scrooge: Yes, and all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob.
Marley (Goofy): Ha-yuk. Yup. Er, no, no! I was wrong. And so, as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains for eternity! Maybe even longer.
The Grinch
Another adaptation of a Christmas classic, from Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The book is great and the cartoon is cute but this feature film is fantastic. Jim Carrey is amazing as the Grinch. Cindy Lou Who's "Where Are You Christmas" is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. The Grinch back-story featuring the late Josh Ryan Evans was brilliant (Oh Martha, Oh Christmas!). For my money Ron Howard knock this one out of the park.
Quote: (The Grinch) "The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing... I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?"
A Christmas Story
1983 was a good year for me in the Christmas movie department with Mickey's Christmas Carol AND A Christmas Story both launching that same Holiday season. Unlike my first two this one is an original. The story of a boy and his heartfelt desire for a Red Rider BB gun. You'll shoot your eye out. The soft glow of electric sex. The queen mother of dirty word, the f--- word. Soap poisoning. The pink bunny suit. Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra. It's beyond classic, it's timeless.
Quotes: "Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian." "My mother was trying to insinuate herself between us and the statue."
Another original story and my all time favorite Christmas movie. I smile through the whole thing and I never tire of watching it. I think I'm going to watch it again right after I post this. I've already paid homage to Will Ferrell's performance in Mount Funny but it's worth stating again he was miraculous as Buddy the Elf. Oh and Zooey Deschanel will have you singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" the rest of the day. It's the story of a human raised by elves who passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, walked through the Lincoln Tunnel and saved Christmas. That's right, aka AWESOME! The best part is it's highly highly quotable.
Quotes: "I am a cotton-headed ninnymoggins!"
"So, good news! I saw a dog today!"
"I think you're really beautiful and I feel really warm when I'm around you and my tongue swells up…"
"I'm sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR."
"I thought maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands."
"First we'll make snow angels for a two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle."
"Have you seen these toilets? They're GINORMOUS!"
"You stink. You smell like beef and cheese! You don't smell like Santa."
You sit on a throne of lies!"
"I just like to smile! Smiling's my favorite."
"Francisco! That's fun to say! Francisco... Frannncisco... Franciscooo..."
"What's a Christmas Gram? I want one!"

I just finished watching a podcast with Michael Hyatt (michaelhyatt.com), a social media guru and premier instructor on ways to assist other people with your internet services and/or product. Although he was specifically giving a list of 10 ideas one can use to improve their social media presence, I was struck by the tone of the ideas: they all reflected attention to the needs of the other person. In other words, as the Bible says, "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."
Think about how good you feel when your grandchild runs up to hug you and/or says, "I love you grandma or grandpa". Or how good it feels when your neighbor brings you the newspaper that was dropped off at his door by mistake. I believe the endorphins begin galloping through our bloodstream in orderly fashion and excite our whole being. What would our world be like if we spend even 70% of our time living out that maxim?

I've been working on a project at work that was one of those that was supposed to be pretty straightforward, but wasn't. The data mostly told the story we were hoping they would tell, with one exception. The most isolated population was supposed to show signs of that and have a measurable amount of inbreeding. Instead, the other 5 populations showed it, and this one didn't.
This led to several weeks of trying to figure out a biological answer to explain these results. In the end there wasn't one. It was more or less user error (i.e. my error). When we amplify fragments of DNA, the process, called PCR, cycles the temperature of the reactions up close to boiling, and back down to 50-60 degrees C, over and over again. I was using a cycling program that was recommended by the company that makes the machine that we visualize the PCR fragments on. Turns out the program was too hot, and some fragments must have dropped out to give me these results.
I figured this out by rerunning some of the samples at a lower temperature, and lo and behold, no inbreeding. Just like that. So now I'm trying to get the rest of the 300 or so samples processed as fast as I can, so we can get the manuscript out. My boss and another investigator discovered a new population of this certain form of mosquito and I've been holding up the show as far as what their population genetics look like.
This is one aspect of my job that I would change if I could. The part of the CDC I work for doesn't generally look at population genetics, so if I run into a problem, I have to go outside to get help. Since I'm still living where I went to school, this isn't too big of a deal, it's just that there's no one to bounce ideas off of in house. I think things run slower sometimes because I have to figure them out on my own.
I feel like there's something I should do to "make up for" the fact that this took so long. I'll have to think about that.

The week begins with a falling dollar but, unfortunately, the Comex metals are down, too. But it's going to be a long week full of economic events and other concerns so let's get started and see where we go from here.
I'm tired of looking at property. But making a poor decision at this point could be costly. What can you do but prioritize your needs and keep looking? We have searched far and wide for the promised land, looking at places through realtor websites and Google Earth, then driving to see close and promising ones.
The week draws to a close with both Comex metals holding decent gains as the POSX finally rolls over from overbought conditions. Let's hope this continues into next week as any further dollar pullback will certainly benefit our precious precious.
Hot on the heels of yesterday's tame PPI, today's CPI came in "below expectations", too. This has finally prompted some weakness in the dollar and supplied a handy bid for the Comex metals.
Lost in all of the international news today is the latest Producer Price Index print which showed a significant drop in price inflation at the wholesale level. If tomorrow's Consumer Price Index can follow this trend, then maybe we'll finally see some easing of this historic run in the POSX.
Another day, another 50¢ spike in the POSX. So, as you might imagine, the Comex metals are down again with Comex gold again on the verge of a Spec washout that would drive price back under $1300.
It's always fun to start the week with nearly the entire commodity board green except Comex gold and silver.
Back in the tumultuous days of 2011, I was certain that the world economy would crash at any moment. Some would say my wife and I had already bugged out, living an hour from any large metropolitan area. We had a 5 acre wooded property on the edge of a 40K town, with a modest house. But I was troubled.
It's "Star Wars Day" and, frankly, we need all the help we can get in our eternal struggle against The Evil Empire.
It seems like an eternity since the last time the POSX fell more than a few cents intraday.

I trust everyone had a fun and healthy Thanksgiving. Mine was great, thank you for asking. Well, it was great until Uncle Festus finished off the cooking sherry, went on a rant about how the McDonald's Corporation owns the White House and Oprah is a secret CIA operative, and then had a three way sexual encounter with the turkey carcass and the pumpkin pie. That kinda dampened the party a bit, but up until then, it was aces !!
Okay, onto the game.
We had a winner from last week !!!
Dustin correctly identified
"Was it a millionaire
Who said "Imagine no possessions" ?
A poor little schoolboy
Who said "we don't need no lessons" ? "
from "The Other Side Of Summer" by the genius Elvis Costello. And he added in the extra credit fact that it was a comment on "Imagine" by John Lennon, and I believe the second line is a swipe at "Another Brick In The Wall, Part II" by Pink Floyd. Bravo, Dustin, Bravo !!!
Now, onto this week's clue:
"You're weightless
You need someone to take you there."
Good luck, Crimestoppers !!!

HB 2386 Unpaid court fines, etc.; increases grace period for collection.
Introduced by: G. Manoli Loupassi | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Collection of unpaid court fines, etc. Increases the grace period after which collection activity for unpaid court fines, costs, forfeitures, penalties, and restitution may be commenced from 30 days to 90 days after sentencing or judgment. The bill also establishes the requirements for deferred or installment payment agreements that a court must offer a defendant who is unable to pay court-ordered fines, costs, forfeitures, and penalties. The bill requires that a court take into account a defendant's financial circumstances, including whether the defendant owes fines and costs to other courts, in setting the terms of a payment agreement, but such decision shall not be based solely on the amount of fines and costs owed. The bill fixes the maximum down payments that a court may require as a condition of entering a payment plan and provides that payments made within 10 days of their due date are timely made. The bill precludes a court from denying a defendant the opportunity to enter into a payment agreement solely because of the crime committed, the total amount owed or that such amount has been referred to collections, any previous default by the defendant or failure to establish a payment history, or the defendant's eligibility for a restricted driver's license. The bill allows all costs and fines owed by a defendant to any one court to be incorporated into one payment agreement and allows a defendant to request a modification of the terms of the agreement, which shall be granted upon a good faith showing of need. The bill requires a court to consider a request by a defendant who has defaulted on a payment agreement to enter into a subsequent agreement and requires the court to fix a down payment for subsequent payment agreements. Finally, the bill provides that the payment agreement includes restitution unless the court has entered a separate order regarding the payment of restitution. This bill is identical to SB 854.

Here's a new feature I'll be doing right here on Don't Lick The Walls ; "Tasty Tuesday". Every Tuesday I will post a new recipe, something that's easy enough for a busy mom to make, something that doesn't take a gazillion different ingredients and 3 hours of your time.
For this week's installment, and in honor of Halloween:
- 3 - 4 lbs of pumpkin, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 pints of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of cream
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat the butter or olive oil in a large pot and fry the onion until soft.
Add the broth and pumpkin to the pan and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Check that the pumpkin is well cooked and blend until smooth (a hand-held, stick blender is easiest as the liquidizing can be done in the pot).
Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
Stir in the cream and serve. Alternatively the cream can be added to individual plates when served
This can be enjoyed by the family served with warm crusty bread, or more elegantly at a dinner party with a garnish of chopped parsley. In France it is often brought to the table and served in a hollowed-out pumpkin - just the thing for Halloween!

A virtue (or vice) is acquired through practice— repeated activity that increases our proficiency at the activity and gradually forms our character. Alasdair MacIntyre describes a child earning to play chess to illustrate the process of habit formation. Imagine, writes MacIntyre, that in hopes of teaching an uninterested seven-year-old to play chess, you offer the child candy—one piece to play, and another piece if the child wins the game. Motivated by his sweet tooth, the child agrees. At first, he plays for the candy alone. (And he will cheat to win, in order to get more candy.) But the more the child plays, the better at chess he gets. And the better at chess he gets, the more he enjoys the game, eventually coming to enjoy the game for itself. At this point in the process, he is no longer playing for the candy; now the child is playing because he enjoys chess and wants to play well. And he understands both the intrinsic value of the game and the way cheating will now rob him of that value. He has become a chess player. Moral formation in virtue works much the same way.
We often need external incentives and sanctions to get us through the initial stages of the process, when our old, entrenched desires still pull us toward the opposite behavior. But with encouragement, discipline, and often a role model or mentor, practice can make things feel more natural and enjoyable as we gradually develop the internal values and desires corresponding to our outward behavior.

"In Take Off" you totally hear New York, probably my favorite track of the tape. Some real thug style kush, underground blunt beat. Bangin, for sure. It's criminal that the flow lasts only 1min 31 seconds. Appearing on the 'So Far Gone' Tour with Drake G5-Gi has definitely made a dent in the "who's who" of Indie Music. "Fly Nigga" pushes the NYC swag further, flashy and real fly for sure. "Everywhere I go" got some nice Reggae beat too, reppin for New York in a big way. The rap on this is super real, history has been written. Will you be a witness? G5-Gi is out now to become one of the most visible indie music artists in the industry.
"Loose Control" good reminds me of the old fun cypress hill, insane in the membrane stuff, but this is supa chill, bumpin beat. "Psychotic Hypnotic" produced by Pittsburgh native Johnny Juliano is great too. Track 16 on the beat. Even the young boy is boucin to it. An he's not a fan of hip hop or rap. So, it soundin good. So this is where I leave you, to get on the beat yourself. Roll up a blunt, and puff one off listenin to, G5Gi so go download the mixtape, hit his ass up Twitter, and check him out on Myspace. Comment below if you think know him!

Now that school is over, its time to take a pop quiz! I know its not fair, but pop quizzes never are…
So let's set the tone for your biblical questions.
[Music: Wide World of Sports Intro]
Question 1: What was the name of Abraham's 1st born Son? And who was the mother? {Ishmael & Hagar}
Question 2: Who bore the son called "He will Laugh"? What was so surprising about his birth? {Sarah, She was quite old when she conceived and bore him, beyond child bearing age.}
Question 3: Who did Abraham marry after Sarah died? And were there any sons born? {Keturah and they had 6 sons.}
So the sons of Abraham by wife:
1. Hagar - Ishmael
2. Sarah - Isaac
3. Keturah - Zimran (& 5 others)
Final Question: whom did Abraham love best?
OK, that question isn't fair, but the question certainly arises as we look at the passage from Genesis: Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac. So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac." The matter was very distressing to Abraham on account of his son.
We must back up a bit to understand what is going on. Abraham married Sarah but they were unable to have a child, so Sarah gave Hagar who was her servant to Abraham and was made his wife so Hagar could bear children for him. And she bore a son, Ishmael who was Abraham's first born son. Sarah became jealous of this and you can begin to see the rivalry…
Now when Abraham first heard that Sarah would indeed become pregnant, at which he fell down laughing at the idea since they were both old, his first response after this was to say: "O that Ishmael might live in your sight." (Gen 17: 18)
And God hears Abraham's compassion for his son, and tells Abraham, Ishmael will also be blessed and will also become great. But Sarah does not want such a rivalry amongst the sons in her household and wants Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away. Such a move could be fatal and Abraham is worried, but God tells Abraham not to worry, Ishmael is blessed and will be OK.
And the story of the chosen one Isaac, in fact the Bible does not continue until we know the fate of Ishmael. When all looks lost for Hagar and Ishmael, it is then an angel comes on the scene to remind us all that indeed Ishmael will be blessed and they find water in the wilderness and they are refreshed.
[Oil Painting of the angel's visit from Univ. of Mich. Museum of Art]
For me the stories of Isaac and Ishmael, are both about compassion, for God has compassion on Abraham and Sarah and delivers the promised child, but God also hears the cries of Ishmael in the wilderness even as God heard Abraham's cries for Ishmael at the promise, and Hagar and Ishmael are not forgotten and God was with the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Such compassion is part of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, all of whom look back to Abraham as their ancestral father.
For Islam, "All human creatures are God's children, and those dearest to God are those who treat his children kindly."
For Judaism, "The world stands upon three things: upon the Law, upon worship, and upon showing kindness."
For Christianity, I think of Jesus telling the Parable of the Good Shepherd and asking which was a neighbor to the man who fell among thieves, and they answered him, the one who showed mercy (or compassion), and Jesus said, go and do likewise.
In many ways, Abraham loved them all. He could not forget Ishmael his first son with Hagar even as he celebrated the birth of Isaac with Sarah. And at his death, we are told that Isaac and Ishmael together buried their father Abraham. It is such kindness and compassion that we are called to exercise in our lives.
As Henry James put it, "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind."
Let me end with a story …
Long, long ago there lived a saint so good that astonished angels came down from heaven to see how a mortal could be so good. He simply went about his daily life, diffusing virtue as a star diffuses Light, and the flowers perfume, without even being aware of it.
Two words summed up his day: He Gave And He Forgave. Yet these words never fell from his lips; they were expressed in his ready smile, in his kindness, his forbearance and charity.
The angels said to God, "Oh, Lord, grant him the gift of miracles." God replied, "I consent; ask what he desires." So they said to the Saint, "Should you like the touch of your hand to heal the sick?" "No", answered the Saint, "I would rather God should do that."
"Should you like to become a model of patience, attracting all by the luster of your virtue, and thus glorify God?" "No, " replied the Saint, "If others should be attracted to me, they would be estranged from God. The Lord has other means of glorifying himself." But the angels insisted. "You must ask for a miracle or one will be thrust upon you." "Very well," said the Saint. "That I may do a great deal of good without even knowing it."
The angels were greatly perplexed. They took counsel together, and resolved upon the following plan: Every time the Saint's shadow should fall behind, or at either side, so that he could not see it, it would have the power to cure diseases, soothe pain, and comfort sorrow.
And so it came to pass, for the Saint simply went about his daily life diffusing virtue as a star diffuses Light and the flowers perfume, without even being aware of what was happening.
And the people respected his humility and kindness, followed him silently, never speaking to him about his miracle. Little by little they came even to forget his name and called him only "The Holy Shadow". (from www.helpothers.org)
Let us in what we do, cast a Holy Shadow, and share our compassion and kindness like Abraham. For "Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us, so let us be quick to love, and make haste to be kind." Amen.

Articles filed under Zoning/Planning from Indiana
EARL PARK -- Plans for a wind energy project in this part of Benton County have been scaled back somewhat, and are being handled by a new company. But spinning steel turbines should soon be dotting farmlands in Richland and York townships, using the wind to generate electricity. "Everything in terms of permits is in place. All of that is done," said Turner Hunt, project manager for Orion Energy Group, which is developing the wind energy project. "We're right now to the point of bringing on general contractors and sub-contractors. We're talking about making it a reality."
Ethanol Reaps a Backlash In Small Midwestern Towns
CAMBRIA, Wis. -- With empty storefronts on the main drag and corn stubble stretching for miles in the surrounding hills, this fading farm town seems like a natural stop for the ethanol express. Not to John Mueller, though. The 54-year-old stay-at-home dad has led a dogged battle to prevent a corn mill from building an ethanol plant up the hill from the village school. Concerned about air pollution, the water supply and the mill's environmental track record, Mr. Mueller and his group, Cambrians for Thoughtful Development, have blitzed the village's 800 residents with fliers, packed public meetings and set up a sophisticated Web site. The mill has fought back with its own publicity campaign and local corn farmers have taken to the streets in tractors to show support. Now, as the mill races to build the $70 million plant, the matter is headed to the federal courthouse in Madison, 40 miles southwest.
Indiana Michigan Power is setting up test sites in Jay and Randolph counties
PORTLAND — A proposed wind farm could possibly generate a $175 million investment in Jay County within two years. Mike Brian, corporate communications manager for Indiana Michigan Power in Fort Wayne, said his company plans to have at least one and perhaps two or three test sites ready to go this spring to determine if there is enough wind power in the area to generate electricity. "We are setting up a couple of test sites in Jay and Randolph counties and perhaps one at the northern edge of Wayne County," Brian said last week. "The technology on wind generators is improving so that sites not considered in the past are being considered now." The test sites are expected to be operational this spring.
Carmel Mayor Investigating Using Windmills
Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard is not blowing hot air when he talks about investigating a different way to generate electricity at the sewer plant. He is thinking about a windmill. They are not uncommon out west, but you do not see many windmills generating power in the Midwest. "The testing we'll do will confirm whether it's a cost effective measure or not," said Mayor Brainard.
City to test the wind as source of electricity
Carmel soon will begin testing to determine whether to install a windmill at the city's sewer plant. Mayor Jim Brainard first announced the concept during his state of the city address Nov. 1.
Blowing in the wind? -Utility sees potential energy harnessed by wind farm
Northeastern Wayne County could become home to a wind farm if test towers show it's windy enough to profitably generate electricity there. Indiana Michigan Power has invited 250 residents of Jay, Randolph and Wayne counties to private meetings this week to discuss the possibility of developing a wind farm. The utility is looking for land owners willing to lease some land to I&M for the installation of two or three 200-foot towers to collect wind data.
I&M scouts East Central Indiana sites for possible wind farm
Indiana Michigan Power has invited 250 residents of Jay, Randolph and Wayne counties to meetings next week to discuss the possibility of developing a wind farm. The electric utility is seeking people willing to lease their land to I&M for the installation of two or three 200-foot meteorological towers to collect wind data. If the data show that a wind farm is feasible, either I&M or a developer would plan to lease land for the installation of wind turbines, typically 50 to 70 of them, each taller than the Statue of Liberty with rotors the size of jumbo-jet wings, said I&M spokesman Mike Brian.
I&M to test wind in Indiana as possible new energy source
Indiana Michigan Power has a range of energy sources — coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric power. Eventually, wind could be added to the list. I&M announced Wednesday that it would place meteorological test sites in east-central Indiana to explore the economic and technical feasibility of building a wind farm in the area. This is the first time for I&M to do any wind testing in Indiana, said David Mayne, spokesman for I&M.
City seeks plan before light lease goes dark
Though the most visible aspect of the city's electric assets is the former Lawton Park Generating Plant, which became Science Central, its most valuable feature is the distribution network. Even though the city can't generate its own power anymore, it owns the wires and circuits through which power flows to homes and businesses. That could be a powerful trading chip in a world considering carbon markets and pollution credits. "We want to explore the current economic value of the current asset and look at possibilities not present in 1974," Richard said. "If you control a distribution system, you may be in a very different position." It may not make economic sense for the city to build a wind farm and lease it to I&M, Richard said, but no one knows until the question is explored. A recent federal court decision put new pressure on electric companies to clean up coal-fired power plants, which will increase the pressure to find alternative sources of power.
Testing the winds- Local site studied as Hoosiers consider alternative energy
By a quirk of nature, a small pocket of Allen County has a wind flow fast enough to attract the interest of a company that builds wind farms to generate electricity.
St. Joseph County OKs wind tower, drugstore
The St. Joseph County Council gave thumbs up Tuesday for a wind-measuring tower south of Mishawaka and a brand new drugstore north of South Bend.
Abatement next step for Benton wind plan
FOWLER -- Orion Energy LLC is moving closer to getting its Benton County wind farm project off the ground. The seven-member Benton County Council voted unanimously Thursday morning to approve a resolution that designates York and Richland townships as economic revitalization areas. That action clears the way for the council to consider a 10-year tax abatement for Orion. The company is planning to place a maximum of 135 electricity-generating wind turbines on farmland in the two townships in the northwest part of the county.
Wind could be next energy source to blow into Indiana
MUNCIE -- The ethanol industry in East Central Indiana is on the verge of a rapid expansion. Could that be followed by a wind energy boom? Yes, according to the Indiana Coalition for Renewable Energy and Economic Development (INCREED), which is trying to build support for state legislation to jump-start the wind-power industry in Indiana. "One of the things we want to dispel is that we don't have any wind capacity in Indiana," said Grant Smith, executive director of Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, during a trip to Muncie last week.
Wind farm proposal backed
FOWLER -- No opposition to a wind farm project proposed for Benton County was expressed during a public meeting here Thursday night. But some people would like to see Orion Energy LLC bring a little more cash to the table. The Benton County Council held the meeting to take comments on a resolution that designates Richland and York townships as economic revitalization areas. That step is necessary before the council can consider providing a 10-year tax abatement to the Oakland, Calif.-based company which is designing a wind farm that would place a maximum of 135 electricity-generating wind turbines on farm land in the two townships.
Allen County Could be Home to Wind Farms
WOODBURN, Ind. (AP) A Pennsylvania company will be allowed to build a 197-foot weather tower in northeastern Indiana. The tower will be used for determining whether winds in that area are strong enough to support a wind farm to generate electricity.
Tower to test wind potential in Allen
A Philadelphia company Tuesday received permission to test whether eastern Allen County is suitable for a wind farm. The Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved Community Energy's request to establish a meteorological wind study facility along South State Line Road, south of Gar Creek Road. The company plans to build a 197-foot-tall tower to gauge whether the area has enough wind to establish a wind farm. Brian Cocca, wind development associate with Community Energy, said the tower – or mast – will be a temporary structure that is solar powered.
County takes first step toward potential wind farm
On Wednesday, the Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals gave Community Energy Inc. of Wayne, Pa., final approval to build a 190-foot meteorological mast on Coomer's farmland on the 200 block of South State Line Road. The company will use the mast to analyze wind conditions at the site for up to five years, the first step toward building a wind farm. Coomer said he doesn't know much about wind farms, but the idea to study wind in the area as an alternative source of energy was too interesting to pass up.
Wind power
Members of the Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals will discuss a proposal to build a 200-foot tower on the eastern edge of the county to study wind speed, consistency and other weather conditions.
Wind tower set to go on farmland
MISHAWAKA -- The hills on the south side of the city could become the site for an energy-producing wind turbine -- if an 18-month study reveals there's enough wind to turn it.
County may be wind farm material
A Pennsylvania wind energy development company wants to study Allen County, the first step toward potentially building a wind farm in the area. Community Energy Inc. of Wayne, Pa., has petitioned the county to build a 190-foot meteorological mast on farmland at the 200 block of South State Line Road in Woodburn. The company would use the mast to analyze wind conditions at the site for at least one year.
