Meriwether County Sheriff Chuck Smith reported that his personnel along with the Georgia State Fire Marshall's Office conducted an investigation into a residential fire that occurred on 12/08/2015 at 1981 Coleman Creek Circle, Luthersville, Ga. This investigation has resulted in an arrest being made for the offense of Arson 1st Degree.
"On December 8, 2015 around 12:58 p.m. the Meriwether County Fire Department responded to 1981 Coleman Creek Circle, Luthersville, Ga. in regard to an active structure fire. Upon the fire department extinguishing the fire which was in the kitchen area of the residence it was determined to be of a suspicious nature. Our patrol units responded to the location upon the initial call of the structure fire. The property owner reported to our patrol supervisor that the residence was rental property and that he suspected that the fire had been intentionally set. A dispossessory notice had been served at the location at around 08:52 a.m. by our personnel. Our investigator responded to the location for further investigation into this matter. We also contacted the Georgia State Fire Marshall's Office and they had one of their investigator's respond. Our investigator prepared and obtained a search warrant for the location. Upon the State Fire Marshal's arrival at the location we then executed the search warrant. The fire marshal obtained samples from the scene. Further investigation into this matter by both agencies led to the arrest of the tenant identified as Dewy Lee Waters, W/M, 62 years of age, of 1981 Coleman Creek Circle, Lutherville, Ga. On 12/09/2015 Waters was arrested on a warrant obtained by state fire marshal investigator for the offense of Arson 1st Degree and was transported to the Meriwether County Jail." Sheriff Smith stated.
"I appreciated the effort put forth by my personnel and all supporting agencies in making this arrest. The fire department did a good job in extinguishing this fire very quickly. This kept the fire damage to the kitchen area and minimal loss to the structure itself. The State Fire Marshal's Office and Investigators' have been very helpful whenever we have called on them. Agencies working together collaboratively makes getting the job done more effective." Sheriff Smith advised.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster – Movie review
It's not just sex that allures in the film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, there is certainly more to the movie, which is a modern-day take on Guru Dutt's classic, Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam. But the comparison ends here only because as we said there is more to it.
Saheb, Jimmy Shergill is one khoosat man trying to salvage his sinking dignity; biwi is beautiful and feels sexy most of the times, while gangster is handsome and is in run spying at the lavish bangla of Saheb. The troika forms the terrific tale which is interesting in junctures, and gets spicy in mean time.
5 reasons to watch 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster'
1) Don't miss it for Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda – apart from saucy, bold, steamy scenes there is more to their performances.
2) A gripping story with dhasu dialogues – nowadays it's hard to find a good story in a movie
3) Twist and turns – the movie engages you with its uncertain twist and turns, surprise is welcomed, isn't it!
4) Real cinema with Bollywood tadka – it's fun, ain't we fans of films like Dev D, Yeh Saali Zindagi
5) This week 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster' is a safe bet as no other film matches it standard.
If you have your views, reviews to share with us on 'Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam', do write to us, we would be happy to publish it on our site.

UK moves closer to EU divorce as Parliament clears way for Brexit talks
Britain has moved a step closer to leaving the European Union after Parliament cleared the way for Theresa May to commence formal Brexit negotiations.
The House of Lords backed down in its battle with ministers over its attempt to change the legislation that authorises the Prime Minister to invoke Article 50 of the EU treaties marking the start of the two-year withdrawal process.
The votes in the upper chamber - after the Commons overturned two amendments previously backed by peers – allow the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill to complete its passage through Parliament.
The result was hailed by Brexit Secretary David Davis who said ministers would now get on with the job of building "a positive new partnership" with the remaining member states.
"We are now on the threshold of the most important negotiation for our country in a generation," he said.
Despite speculation that Mrs May would immediately notify the European Council she was beginning the formal withdrawal process, Downing Street indicated she would wait another two weeks until the end of the month - her long-stated deadline for doing so.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman played down suggestions she was delaying due to Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's bombshell announcement of a second independence referendum in the run-up to Brexit – expected in spring 2019.
The spokesman told reporters Mrs May had always said she would trigger Article 50 by the end of March, adding: "I've said 'end' many times but it would seem I didn't put it in capital letters strongly enough."
EU leaders had been prepared for an announcement this week, with April 6 pencilled in as the date for a meeting of the other 27 to respond to the move – a gathering which will now be pushed back until later that month.
Waiting until the last week of March would not only avoid a clash with the Dutch general election on Wednesday, but also delay the start of negotiations until after a special summit of the remaining 27 in Rome on March 25 to celebrate the EU's 60th anniversary.
Earlier, the Commons voted overwhelmingly to overturn two previous Lords amendments, requiring Parliament to be given a "meaningful vote" at the end of the negotiations and guaranteeing the rights of EU nationals living in the UK.
After rebel Tory MPs who had previously backed similar moves in the Commons largely chose to abstain, Labour accepted it would be an "empty gesture" to try to reinstate them in the unelected upper chamber.
While Liberal Democrat peers continued to resist, the amendment on the meaningful vote was defeated by 274 to 118 in the Lords and the EU nationals amendment was defeated by 274 to 135.
It followed Commons votes earlier in the day rejecting the meaningful vote amendment by 331 to 286 and the EU nationals amendment by 335 to 287.
Opening the Commons debate, Mr Davis said the majority of voters, regardless of whether they backed Leave or Remain, wanted Mrs May to "get on with the job in hand" and to do so "with no strings attached".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it was "deeply disappointing" the Government had refused to give ground but it was "only the start of the process".
"Labour, at every stage, will challenge the Government's plans for a bargain basement Brexit with Labour's alternative of a Brexit that puts jobs, living standards and rights first," he said.

It's not just that the do-anything Omar Hakim rarely puts out his own albums. That's perhaps understandable, considering his over-stuffed career as a sideman alongside the likes of Sting, Weather Report, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Miles Davis and Daft Punk. What was strange was how little, well, drumming there seemed to be on his solo efforts.
Rhythm Deep, Hakim's 1989 debut, found him taking a turn at the mic. The belated follow up, 2000's Groovesmith, again offered a canny blending of jazz, pop and R&B — but could hardly be called a showcase for Hakim's unique blend of power and world-fused finesse. We Are One, just out on OZmosis Records, looked like it would make the same mistakes, considering the news that Hakim was to be featured on guitar, keyboards, bass and again on vocals.
The epic opening track "Transmigration" puts those fears to rest. Or rather, it beats them into submission. Hakim also offers moments of ferocious intellect on the brilliantly metallic "Walk the Walk," and the grease-popping, Weather Report-inspired "Listen Up!" — three highlights of a 10-song cycle of originals that moves with an old-pro's ease through funky fills, pushy rock grooves and loose-limbed jazz swing.
And yet, We Are One — as the title suggests — has a deeper spirituality running just beneath the surface. For all of the moments where Hakim asserts his place as one of today's most well-rounded practitioners of the drum arts, there are times here when he's just as sensitive, just as coiled, just as committed to talking in a quiet but insistent way about the things that connect us. Tracks like "Forever Friend" and the title song, which close out We Are One, serve as clarion calls for unity, no matter your faith.

Gamers shouldn't expect to see independent games on Xbox One right at launch, Microsoft's Phil Harrison has revealed, as it may take until early next year before those products begin to be released.
It was just over a month ago that Microsoft announced the first details of its Independent Developers @ Xbox initiative, a platform intended to encourage the development of indie games for Xbox One. Microsoft had already reversed course on indie developers' ability to self-publish, announcing in July that it plans to allow any Xbox One console to be used as a development kit and for any developer to be able to publish its own games, which was not the case on Xbox 360. But the subject of when we'll begin to see indie games appear on Xbox One had yet to be addressed until Xbox corporate vice president Phil Harrison spoke about it during an interview with GamesIndustry International.
"I don't think we're going to see things at launch," Harrison said. "I don't think it's realistic to see a developer get the program and build a game and get it into the market on November 22. It's reasonable to expect in early 2014 we'll start seeing the first games come through."
Harrison noted that interest in ID@Xbox -- which provides "qualified" developers with two free dev kits -- had been extremely strong so far, with hundreds of applications being received in the hours after its announcement.
He also spoke about Microsoft's vision for Xbox One, and how that remains intact despite the significant departure from the plan it outlined at E3.
"Our long term vision hasn't changed at all. We haven't diluted our long term vision, which is all of the benefits of a connected ecosystem and what that means for all of the stakeholders - us, developer, publisher and crucially, the player. None of that has changed," Harrison explained. "What we recognized was when you put a disc slot in the front of a machine certain expectations come with that disc slot. We had to adapt some of our policies and it was best that we did those before we launched, which we've done. All of that can be handled in the vacuum of the pre-launch activity. And it allows the players to have a choice. They can consume the content through the medium they like the best and fits with their particular situation. I don't think there's a negative to that."
Xbox One is scheduled for release on November 22 in North America and Europe, with a release in Japan coming in 2014.

Five Things We Learned In UK Sports This Week
A look back at the key storylines this week from the world of UK sports…
The Old Man Gets Respect
Senior Julius Mays wasted no time making an impression during Wednesday's Blue-White scrimmage. The Wright State transfer scored 13 points in the game, but established himself early as an offensive threat for the Blue team, registering points on a variety of drives, jumpshots and buzzer-beating runners. We joked on Twitter during the game that his relentless style and craftiness with the ball was reminiscent of Uncle Drew, Kyrie Irving's elderly alter ego in a summer Nike commercial. After the game, we talked with Mays' teammates about his performance and discovered he already has a pretty appropriate nickname.
Old Man.
On the surface, the nickname appears to be a playful jab at Mays' seniority and freshman Archie Goodwin even joked that his senior teammate is "about 50". But in talking with his teammates more in depth after the game, it became very obvious that the old man gets respect. Goodwin talked of a relationship between the two that sounded a lot like a guy leaning on his older brother for guidance. Mays talks with him at practice about keeping his emotions under control and junior Jon Hood said that Old Man is always "talking guys down off the ledge". Why? "Because he's an old man," Hood says. "He's been around forever and he knows what to do." In the first half of the Blue-White game, he was attacking the basket and pouring in points. In the second half, he settled into more of a distributor role and didn't try to do too much – the same thing he's been talking with Goodwin about. And that's part of why they've grown to love him so much.
In a fairly short period of time, Mays has earned the respect of his teammates, which is all the more impressive considering his unique circumstances. He's one-and-done, whether he'd like to be or not, and unlike many of Calipari's freshmen with much higher ceilings, he has to quickly understand how he fits on the court in a more limited role, as well as navigate his spot off it. Respect and trust is something that often can take time to earn, especially in the world of sports. But after Julius Mays excelled in two very different roles on the court Wednesday, his teammates made it clear that Old Man has their attention in the locker room too.
Willie Cauley-Stein Is A Beast
During UK's Media Day, one of the better quotes we heard came from freshman center Willie Cauley-Stein, whose reputation had grown to mythical proportions over the summer thanks to John Calipari's constant praise on Twitter and CoachCal.com. We asked Cauley-Stein about that subject and he joked that after he committed to UK, everyone was calling him a project and despite no one having seen him play over the past few months, fans kept Tweeting him and calling him "a beast". Pretty casually, the seven-footer laughed and said, "I guess I have to go be a beast now." And that's exactly what he's done.
His powerful dunk over Nerlens Noel was the trademark play of Big Blue Madness and his aggressive and efficient play inside continued in Wednesday's Blue-White scrimmage. During that exhibition, Cauley-Stein scored 11 points on 5-7 shooting and blocked 3 shots, but the stats don't tell the entire story. Starting for the Blue team, alongside Julius Mays, Jon Hood, Jarrod Polson and Twany Beckham, Cauley-Stein helped pace the reserves to a double-digit lead over the starters and dominated his one-on-one matchup with Nerlens Noel. At the half, the two bigs switched teams and Cauley-Stein continued to give the possible #1 overall pick fits, leaving Noel frustrated to the point of slapping away Cauley-Stein's hand a few times on defense. Afterward, he was again nonchalant about his performance, saying only it was just a scrimmage and they're back to competing and making each other better the following day, but the message was clear. Willie Cauley-Stein is everything John Calipari said he was this summer and he may just be that beast everyone was Tweeting about.
And we didn't even talk about his hook shot and the turnaround jumpers!
Andrew Wiggins Makes It Official
The nation's top prospect in the class of 2014 became the top prospect in the class of 2013 yesterday when Andrew Wiggins officially announced that he'd like to get to the NBA a year sooner. The announcement was not much of a shock to anyone really. We talked with Wiggins' high school coach, Rob Fulford, in July and he said that the decision would be made, but not necessarily announced, by the second week of August when school resumed. Shortly after that, Wiggins stopped doing interviews until his father announced yesterday that he'd be reclassifying.
Kentucky has been the favorite throughout the whole process and it's essentially been a two-team run between the Cats and Florida State for the past two months. But Wiggins said earlier this week that he wants more teams to recruit him and will not make a decision on where he'll attend school until the spring. To some UK fans, that was a reason to be concerned, but most likely it's just another step in the process of what seems like a fairly cut-and-dry scenario. And in the case of Wiggins, it seems to go slightly beyond the usual "Calipari puts guys in the NBA" thought.
Andrew Wiggins will be a one-and-done player, no matter where he goes to school. Barring a catastrophic injury, he's going to be the #1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. And even saying that, it may not do him justice in terms of explaining just how special the situation he is in right now because he's the type of prodigy that some say scouts haven't seen since LeBron James or Kevin Durant. His phenomenal basketball skills, as well as his style of play and personality, have put him in position to have an immediate impact both on the court and in marketing as soon as he enters the draft. It's something that he's well aware of and guess what? That may just be an extra notch on Kentucky's belt.
Wiggins's situation is a special one that LeBron James also found himself in as he closed out his prep career. But he didn't have to mess with going to college for a year. He just went with Nike and let them do the work. Kevin Durant, though probably not quite in the same stratosphere as Wiggins and James at the same point, did have to go the college route and he headed to Texas. He put together an incredible freshman season, waltzed his way into the NBA Draft and got his Nike career going. But how many people actually noticed? Outside of the college basketball world, how much of a commodity was Durant when he entered the NBA?
Now quickly compare that with Anthony Davis, who by nature of his position, is probably not the most likely of people for the general public to latch on to. But Davis (and his unibrow) became massive celebrities to casual fans and people who don't even watch basketball last season. Why? Because UK has found a way to market their players and have established themselves as the predominant topic of the basketball world. It doesn't matter what the subject may be or who is discussing it. If you're talking hoops, you're going to talk Kentucky. The players leave school with name recognition and almost something of a brand already. Andrew Wiggins will be a star anywhere he goes. At Kentucky, he could become a superstar – and not just in basketball circles.
Kentucky Fans Got Played By David Williams
For as long as fans have debated UK football, the quest for competitiveness has centered around the old chicken and the egg debate. Kentucky can't win without talent and a good coach, but they can't attract those without facilities. But Kentucky also can't attract private donors for facilities without a roster or coaching staff that's attractive to those with the cash. And for all the time it was debated, there was no clear answer…unless that money was coming from the state. Enter David Williams.
The Senate President was long viewed as the person responsible for blocking UK's ability to bond their own athletics projects and stood in the way of potential renovations to Commonwealth Stadium. But like any good politician, Williams responded to the widespread criticism from UK football fans earlier this summer by saying he would support the proposal as long as it was submitted on its own. Why the change of heart? Well, it now looks like it might have just been a game of politics.
Shortly after Williams agreed to play the role of good guy, rumors began to swirl that his 13-year run as Senate President would be ending as he was privately lobbying for the open 40th circuit judgeship. Williams even told cn|2's Ryan Alessi several weeks ago that if Governor Steve Beshear wanted to appoint him to that position, he would accept. Late Thursday, that offer was extended and Williams accepted, leaving UK football fans to wonder if the faint hope Williams' promise had brought was leaving Frankfort as well.
But Williams' desire to leave his Senate President position shortly after making the statement to support UK's football proposal wasn't the only thing that left the situation smelling a little fishy. The fact that no such proposal was on the table and, according to UK President Dr. Eli Capilouto, even in the works, leaves us all scratching our heads not only about Williams' promise, but also the future of UK football. What fans are now left with is the familar feeling of pessimistic uncertainty and a school administration that doesn't appear to think of it as much of a priority. All the while, David Williams moves into his new position being able to give the old "I tried" shoulder shrug. Gotta love politics.
UK Football Is Going All-In Against Mizzou
Remember the Bourbon Bowl at the end of The Waterboy when Dan Fouts keeps telling Brent Musberger that, "It's the last game of the year, Brent. You can't hold anything back now" after ever play? That's essentially been the storyline of UK football since the loss to Western Kentucky. Just go for it. And, for the most part, the Cats have, though the results have been less than inspiring for the most part. But Saturday brings another opportunity to Febreze away that losing smell when the Cats travel to Missouri – and Joker Phillips is again ready to go all-in with the hand he's been dealt.
Joker announced Thursday that freshman Patrick Towles will see some action, sharing snaps with starter Jalen Whitlow, after he's been cleared to return from an ankle injury. Some fans see it as the move of a desperate coach, trying like hell to conjure up some magic and keep his job. I'm not sure I necessarily agree since Towles' medical redshirt opportunity was gone the second doctors cleared him to play and because Joker took the cautious route with Max Smith earlier in the season when he could have clearly benefited personally by playing him. But that doesn't mean that playing Towles isn't a desperate act.
Towles has made it extremely clear over the past few weeks (and so has his father) that he came to Kentucky to play. And that's what he/they expect. With rumors of a transfer swirling all season and intensifying with each successive loss, a Towles transfer is still believed to be a very real possibility to many around the program. Will playing him in the final games increase the likelihood that he returns to the program next year? Maybe. But sitting him on the bench would seem to essentially appear to be the same of walking up to his dorm room and starting to load his possessions into boxes. When you have a high school All-American who went 5-5 with a touchdown in his only appearance of the season begging to see the field for a team whose marquee player is a punter, then you have to put him on the field. Especially when you may just have a shot at winning…
…seriously. The Cats are in a better spot against the Tigers than they've been in any of the last five games, even if it is on the road. Missouri, like Kentucky, is still looking for their first conference win and, like Kentucky, will not have their starting quarterback on the field. Reshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser will make his second straight start after relieving injured James Franklin against Vanderbilt two weeks ago, marking the start of the dreaded three-and-out offensive plague that UK has become so familiar with. In six-and-a-half quarters under center, Berkstresser has completed 35% of his passes and led the Tigers to nine points – six of them coming on an 85-yard pass against Vanderbilt. If the Cats are closer to the team that we saw against Georgia than they are to the team we saw against Arkansas, the 15-point spread doesn't just seem a little steep. The Cats could actually win. And with Vanderbilt, Samford and Tennessee (also winless in the SEC left), they could be primed for a big finish to the season.
Too much? You're probably right. But, hey, you can't hold anything back now.

From New York, New York, USA:
I am 26 year old with Type 1 for four months. I have been keeping tight control of my diabetes so far with my values rarely going above 150 two hours after meals. Assuming I can keep the same control for the rest of my life, what are the odds of developing severe complications?
PS: I have come to term with my having the disease, but I am really scared about the possible long term consequences.
Congratulations on your determination and desire to maintain tight control of your blood sugars. The long term complications of diabetes are much more evident in persons who neglect their diabetes over the long haul. It is a day to day decision to pay attention to your health.
Having said that, I cannot absolutely guarantee that you will never have a complication in your life -- even with superb control. Diabetes is a tricky disease and can be impacted by so many variables: stress, illness, etc. Your part of the formula is to control the things you can control. This includes your diet, exercise, medical providers, and education on diabetes.
Just as there are people who never smoke and still get lung cancer, there are people who take really good care of themselves and find themselves with diabetes challenges. Life is not predictable. But you are on the right road for a positive outcome. Do not let diabetes run your life -- live your life and live it well. That is good advice for all of us.

As of Year 13 Day 228 (July 15th, 2012), wild creatures have a small chance of dropping a Mysterious Egg when killed in combat. These eggs behave like normal trophy items and can be claimed by players. It can be hatched by interacting with an incubator, which is located in any ranch, zoo, and wildlife preserve. Mysterious Eggs always hatch into the creature type from which they were looted. Upon hatching, the resulting creature is owned by the individual who hatched the egg, and not by the owner of the egg.
- Enter the facility (zoo, ranch, wildlife preserve) and locate the Egg Incubator item.
- Equip the Mysterious Egg to a Utility slot. Do not keep the egg inside a knapsack or on ground.
- Beside the Egg Incubator there is an "Interact" button; click on it.
- If you've done everything correctly, you can see the following message:
[Egg Incubator] The Incubator beeps and whirs. Lights inside blinking seemingly at random Detecting the egg you're holding, the Incubator opens up, revealing some sort of chamber
- After that you will be asked the following:
You place the egg inside the Incubator You walk away
- Choose the first option if you want to hatch the egg, or the second option if you want to cancel the procedure.
Drop Frequency
Mysterious Eggs have a less than 5% chance of dropping from a killed creature, and larger creatures have a lower likelihood of dropping an egg than smaller creatures. Colossal creatures are the only type of creature that will never drop an egg.
Why Hatching Eggs?
The reasons why one wants to become Master (owner) of a creature are many and varied. Some people keep them for collection, some others use creatures as "body guards." Those who go hunting take their "pets" with them and let them loose against bandits or other creatures to finish the enemy down. It is also possible to sell them alive on the galactic markets (the Darkness Market or the Centrepoint Market, for example).

In a move to make information about crime activity as ubiquitous as weather data, SpotCrime – already the largest and most comprehensive online source for crime data – is introducing a new app that will make near real-time crime data available on Apple TV.
"Apps undoubtedly are the future of TV," says SpotCrime Founder and President Colin Drane. "Given Apple TV's innovative use of apps to personalize the home TV experience and the public's unquenchable demand for more information about crime activity, I believe SpotCrime's new Apple TV app not only will make crime data more readily available to be shared, but ultimately will drive greater awareness and new measures that will lead to a reduction in crime."
Using SpotCrime's Apple TV app, viewers will be able to see up-to-date details about actual crime incidents. Through its proprietary model, SpotCrime pulls crime incident data from multiple sources, including state and local police departments and validated news sources, to produce a comprehensive record of local crime information.
SpotCrime now has the largest footprint of crime data in the U.S. The company sends its 1.3 million subscribers more than 220 million crime alert emails annually, while over 40 million people interact with the crime information the company generates on a monthly basis.
Drane attributes SpotCrime's continued growth to the fact that it is the only independent crime mapping and publishing company that is self-supporting. "SpotCrime does not take any outside funding and does not charge police departments or any other organizations for the information we provide," he explains. "Our sole intent is to make all relevant crime information available to the public, taking full advantage of the Internet to allow this data to be shared."
Despite SpotCrime's efforts to make crime data available and create a higher level of transparency among both citizens and public officials, Drane admits that the firm has received occasional resistance from some government agencies.
"While most appreciate what we are trying to do, we have received pushback from some government agencies," he says. "Despite that, we remain a strong proponent of open access to data. The easier it is for a community to access and share crime data, the higher the chance that community will be proactive in the fight against crime."
In addition to its new Apple TV application, SpotCrime has partnerships with a number of major U.S. media companies, including the two largest television operators in the country, Tegna and Sinclair Broadcast Group. It also partners with such online firms as Life360 (the biggest family network on mobile), Lifeshield (the leading wireless home security provider, now owned by AT&T), and Zillow (the leading real estate marketplace).

The local movement doesn't get any closer than the rooftop. That's where a New Orleans grocer has planted herbs for the market below.
Rouses Markets officially launches its aeroponic urban farm today (May 31, 2012).
The vertical Tower Garden uses air and a timed mist rather than soil, with "plots" growing up rather than out. A former Disney greenhouse manager developed the system used at the amusement parks as well as the Chicago O'Hare Airport Eco-Farm and Manhattan's Bell Book & Candle restaurant.
The market calls the project Roots on the Rooftop.
Chef Louis "Jack" Treuting, Rouses culinary director, foresaw future-looking farm as a way to provide fresh herbs for the food the market's chefs prepare. But he quickly saw potential to expand the program to package and sell herbs as well.
"I knew if our chefs wanted it, so would our customers," he said in a press release.
Managing partner Donny Rouse envisions many possibilities for the farm.
"The flat rooftop on this store is perfect for urban farming," Rouse said. "And the view of downtown is postcard-perfect. I imagine we will do a lot of dinners up here on the farm."
A focus on local has been the way of Rouses Markets since the family started in the produce business. Anthony J. Rouse grew up working for his father's produce shipping company, City Produce, before opening his first grocery store in 1960. The company, operated by the second and third generation of the Rouse family, now has 38 locations in two states.
"My grandfather was a farmer at heart," says Rouse. "He would have loved everything about this."
New York-based BrightFarm, too, envisions a future when grocers grow produce in their own greenhouses-elevated or otherwise.
Rooftop gardens and farming, in particular, are rising trends. They have been sprouting for years but now are propagating faster than ever. Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, a trade association, earlier this month announced that the industry grew by 115 percent in 2011. Washington, D.C., led the way with more than 800,000 square feet of gardens installed in 2011. Chicago has the greenest skyline, with 5 million square feet of planted plots.
Integrating the parcels into urban farms of the future will raise the industry to great heights, especially as technology and techniques evolve.
Do you know about other local efforts like this? Natural Foods Merchandiser magazine would love to report more about the grocers growing their own. Comment below or email me.

In light of recent comic book related films, what with 'Logan' stealing all the kudos for being so realistic and how 'The Avengers' have been stealing into the hearts of millions with their knockabout Mighty Marvel at its stereotypical best, then 'Guardians of the Galaxy' has a long way to go to better those movies and yet....
'Guardians,' or so it strikes me, is a merging of 'Star Wars' with the superhero genre. A series of improbable events set in deep space with a cast of Marvel characters that are both weird and quirky. There's no guarantee that this idea will work but it does. Why? I mean, this film is adolescent at best, juvenile even, an adventure filled with Sci-Fi hi-jinks, often silly yet something quite irresistible pulses from it. The sheer fun it exudes prevents it from dallying long on anything negative. It is exuberant but it also contains pathos. The two rescue this, the second film in the franchise from being utter drivel and push it high on the register of comic books turned film. It is a thoroughly good film that had us laughing, sighing, hanging on to the edge of our seats before weeping at its touching conclusion.
The laughs come aplenty. I am talking belly-laughs that had the whole cinema audience rolling about. The story features a planet that is as old as the galaxy itself but which has grown lonely being unable to find anyone, anything at all like itself. How many planets do you know have a personality? The planet takes the form of a humanoid called Ego and is played superbly by Kurt Russell.last seen in 'The Hateful Eight.' Ego visits other planets, chiefly those containing life forms similar to Earths where he attempts to impregnate unsuspecting females with the sole purpose of gifting him a son, an heir. He finds the woman he seeks on Earth who gives birth to his son, Chris Pratt. Ego has god-like abilities unfortunately though doesn't have the associated morals. He only wants a son so the two of them can turn every planet in the known universe into clones of themselves all so that Ego no longer need be lonely. As I said, juvenile stuff but in the hands of Director James Gunn.
The cast of unlikely's include both Kurt Russell, as baddie Ego and Sly Stone but also Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel as the lovable, babyish Groot ('I Am Groot') Bradley Cooper as the risk taking, slightly bonkers, Rocket, Scotland's lovely ex-Doctor Who assistant Karen Gillan, the wonderfully stoic, if slightly rude, Drax as performed by Dave Bautista, Drax's love interest and punchbag Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Elizabeth Debiki, Sean Gunn, Chris Sullivan and of course Michael Rooker.
Worth the money spent of tickets, sweets and coke-a-cola. We loved it. Can't wait for the DVD release so we can watch it again.
After the film we, bearing in mind Squid likes her food, shot over to Nandos for a bite to eat. We always have the same meals. Don't know why but I guess we likes what we likes. For Squid Peri-Peri Chicken and for me a spicy soya burger with tomato, spring onion, green chilli and a dash of cayenne pepper both washed down with glasses of coke which come, American style, on tap. Lovely jubbly.

7 Items You Should Never Wear After Age 30 Because You Are Old, Dumb And Ugly
When you get to be a certain age you start to notice that mainstream media loves telling you what to do. Every year Vogue magazine publishes their "Age Issue" which has style guides for what every woman should wear at a certain age, their twenties, their thirties and so on. If you hit the google machine and enter in "what not to wear after age ___" you are met with many links that will tell you items that women of a certain age should never, ever put on their bodies, lest this causes swarms of locusts to descend upon the earth and anyone who encounters them to have blood start dripping from their eyeballs as they clutch their heads in agony. It's a whole mess of sartorial ageist bullshit. Here is just a sampling.
From Liz Jones, Who Wants Women Over Age 30 To Avoid Leopard Prints
If you are a teenager, a leopard-print chiffon maxi-dress can be knowing and innocent all at the same time. By 30 it should be avoided at all costs, even on a scarf or pair of tights.
I'm sorry, but leopard print is used as a neutral in my wardrobe. You can come steal all of it when I am in the nursing home and too busy playing bridge to notice.
Charla Krupp Says Women Over 30 Should Never Have A Tattoo
The best-selling author of "How Not To Look Old" says that women over 30 shouldn't have tattoos. So we should all start saving for tattoo removal?
Clinton Kelly Says Older Women Should Never Have Long Hair
Long hair can look good on anyone as long as it is in good condition, and I totally disagree here.
"I'm here to tell you that after a certain age — let's say 30 — ultralong styleless hair makes you appear to be desperately hanging onto your youth, or your man or both."
Or, you know, maybe you just LIKE long hair.
O Magazine Says Not To Wear Distressed Denim
Sadly, Julianne Moore never received this memo and she should be scorned forever for leaving the house like this because she is over the age of 30. EYEROLL.
Modern Mom Says Not To Show Off Cleavage
"Anything that shows off too much is off-limits. In other words, either boobs or legs not both, please! Or, nix both boobs and legs and show off your sexy shoulders pick an off the shoulder top that lets your shoulder and cleavage show just a hint."
Chic Stories Says Women Of A Certain Age Should Never Wear Leather
And according to this website older women should also:
Never Wear Bikinis
Here's the deal with getting older. If you are lucky enough, it happens to everyone. And what you might vow to never wear past a certain age is going to change completely when you reach that certain age. There are certain rules of style every woman should follow, don't wear stockings with runs on them out public unless it is on purpose, don't wear a T-shirt exclaiming "Fuck Religion" when you are attending a baptism, try and not wear sweaters with pudding stains on it when you are interviewing for a job. But these go for all women, regardless of age.
Due to amazing projects like Ari Seth Cohen's gorgeous Advanced Stye blog (and coffee table book! And coloring book! And upcoming documentary!) we have started to appreciate how beautiful and stylish seniors can be. But we still tend to age-shame those betwixt the twenty-year-olds and the elderly, like the worst thing a woman can do after age thirty is go sleeveless. I know how to dress myself. I know what looks good on me. I have been around the block a few times and know not to wear a tutu to the grocery store. I'm a grownass woman. Please start treating me like one.

This shea butter / coconut oil hair moisturizer is most suitable for dry hair. For this reason, it is especially useful for growing healthy natural African / black hair. Being an oil-based natural black hair moisturizer, its role is to act as a light shield that keeps moisture in the hair. For this reason, shea butter / coconut oil hair moisturizer should be used on damp hair.
- Unrefined shea butter (at room temperature)
- Unrefined coconut oil (at room temperature)
- Other optional natural ingredients for making a natural hair moisturizer:
- Olive oil / Almond oil
- Jojoba oil
- Grapeseed oil
- Essential oils (example: lavender oil)
- Hand held mixer or fork
- Mixing bowl
- Sterile plastic bag
- Storage jar
- Scissors
- Coconut oil liquefies at room temperature. If it is solid, expose the coconut oil to gentle heat. For instance, place the coconut oil container into a bowl of warm water or place it on a warm counter. I put my coconut oil on the kitchen counter close to my electric kettle.
- Gradually add the coconut oil to the shea butter. Add these ingredients while considering the desired consistency of your natural black hair moisturizer. The oils will produce a smoother consistency that will allow you to easily spread otherwise solid shea butter over your hair.
- To pack your homemade shea butter / coconut oil natural black hair moisturizer neatly into a container, do the following. Put your homemade hair moisturizer into a plastic bag. Squeeze the hair moisturizer into a single corner. Cut of the end of that corner. This will allow you to squeeze the face moisturizer neatly into your container.
- Immediately after adding water or a water-based moisturizer to your hair, apply your hair moisturizer onto damp hair. This is key for locking in the moisture. It is neither a good idea to apply moisturizer on dry or wet hair. If you apply moisturizer onto dry hair, you may lock out the moisture. If you apply moisturizer onto dripping wet hair, your moisturizer may simply drip away.
- Very gently rub your palms together about 2 to 3 times only, just to warm and spread the natural black hair moisturizer. This is useful to ensure that you apply a thin layer of moisturizer to avoid excessively oily hair.
- Apply over the full length of your hair. However, focus on the oldest part of your hair, ie the ends. Pay special attention to dampening the ends of the hair before applying the natural black hair moisturizer. This approach helps you to maintain healthy hair and to avoid split ends.

Daily Crystal Horoscope for Monday *12/14/15*
Crystals for the day: Serpentine & Herkimer Diamond.
It can be a letdown when you've had several days with exceptionally upbeat energy that suddenly changes. The Sun/Jupiter square that we experience today doesn't have to break your good mood as long as you keep a realistic outlook. Jupiter always goes to extremes, so it's easy to get carried away with high expectations. When they fail to manifest it can result in debilitating disappointment that makes it easy to give up. You can avoid that frustration by remaining determined and using your creative skills to take control and continue to move forward. Serpentine will keep your faith intact. Use Herkimer Diamond to recognize your personal power and know that you can use it to overcome any obstacles.
Number of the day: 7
7 reminds us that there is always more than what we can access with our physical senses. Use 7 and Selenite to explore new worlds.

Report: Shalit Swap to Get Underway Tuesday
According to Al-Hayat newspaper, Israel softened stance on Palestinian prisoners to be freed in exchange for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Al-Hayat newspaper reported Thursday that Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and the leader of the armed wing of Hamas Ahmed al-Ghandour reached Cairo last night in order to coordinate the final details of the Shalit prisoner exchange deal.
Egyptian sources told Al-Hayat that Shalit will be transferred to the Egyptians on Tuesday to an undisclosed location as part of the first phase.
According to Egyptian sources, Egypt presented 20 different offers to Israel and Hamas during the last three months in order to close the gap between the two sides and reach a final agreement.
In the final round of talks, Israel agreed to release 40 prisoners out of 70 that it had refused to release previously.
Also on Thursday, Abu Mujihad, a spokesman for the Salah al-Din Brigades that had been in possession of Shalit, said it intended to release a video recording documenting Shalit's 5-year captivity, adding that it would prove that the Israeli soldier was treated fairly.
The spokesman said that the video documented the relationship between Shalit's captures and the IDF soldier, as well as the various methods the Palestinian militants used in order to hide Shalit's whereabouts from Israeli security forces.
Speaking with A Shams radio, the spokesman for the Gaza group said that the recording will be released a few days following the completion of the Shalit deal, as soon as Salah al-Din Brigades, a group which participated in the IDF soldiers' abduction, sees that all of the Palestinian prisoners are released as promised.

The Ducati Panigale V4 is priced from RM129,900 and prices for the V4 S starts at RM169,900. The Multistrada 1260 S on the other hand, is priced from RM129,900.

Equipped with state-of-the-art control electronics, the new Panigale V4 features improved vehicle safety and dynamics control standards as it uses the latest generation six-axis inertial platform data (6D IMU).
Other safety features include controlled slides during braking, front wheel ABS Cornering designed for track riding and Quickshift Up & Down (DQS) that tackles lean angles.
The versatile Ducati Multistrada 1260 S, on the other hand has been equipped with a new engine, chassis and cutting-edge electronics.
Ducati says its performance and control is significantly improved when riding in any condition and on any road.
Powered by a new Euro 4 approved 1262 cc Ducati Testastretta DVT engine, the bike also comes complete with the new Ride-by-Wire system to ensure smoother throttle control and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down which significantly improves the riding experience.
Finally, the Monster 821 stays true to the original lines of its 1993 predecessor but has been given an update. Similar to the original Monster, the iconic tank also comes with a fastening hook.
For the first time on the mid-size Monster, the bike also comes with the colour TFT display with selected gear and fuel indicators. With 109 hp at 9,250 rpm, the Ducati Monster 821 is equipped with a Euro 4 compliant liquid-cooled Testastretta 11º engine.
The Ducati Safety Pack on the Monster includes Bosch ABS and Ducati Traction Control as well as three Riding Modes for easy adjustment of ABS DTC and Power Modes. The bike features Brembo brakes with dual 320 mm discs and M4-32 monobloc radial callipers up front, and adjustable shock absorber at the rear.
"Incorporating the essence of Italian style, Ducati motorcycles are engineered with performance and endurance in mind which makes it suitable for riding on the various Malaysian roads.

'Irving Berlin's White Christmas," the holiday season's newest extravaganza, is up and tapping in triplicate in theaters in Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Director Walter Bobbie ("Chicago") and choreographer, Randy Skinner ("42nd Street") rehearsed three separate casts in adjoining New York studios in the fall, before sending them on the road as alternatives to the Rockettes, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Tiny Tim.
Based on the 1954 film that starred Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a song-and-dance team who fall in love with a pair of sisters post-World War II, the stage version retells the somewhat sappy story but punches it up with extra numbers drawn from the Berlin hit parade. In addition to the title song - yes, there's a singalong for the audience - and hits "Sisters" and "Count Your Blessings," Berlin favorites such as "Blue Skies" and "I Love A Piano" augment the movie score. The production is filled with lovely dance numbers in varied styles, from Fred and Ginger to the old soft-shoe to precision tap choruses. A snow scene finale dispels the threat of global warming.
• "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" at the Orpheum Theater, San Francisco; Pantages Theatre, Los Angeles; and The Wang Theater, Boston, through year's end.
