City responds to state AG's open meeting complaint investigation
KINGMAN – City Attorney Carl Cooper has sent a letter to Arizona Attorney General's Office stating that the city has committed no violations of open meeting laws that were alleged in a Nov. 9 letter.
The AG is investigating a complaint that the city released the performance evaluation of fired City Manager John Dougherty in violation of the open meeting law.
The office is investigating another complaint that proper notice was not provided for discussion and a vote on Aug. 15 regarding the increase in the Transaction Privilege Tax, or sales tax.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the discussion was supposed to be about using the money for pavement preservation, and instead the discussion and vote was for both pavement preservation and capital improvement projects that included interchanges on Interstate 40.
The complaint further alleges that a quorum of City Council members may have discussed the TPT rate increase prior to the public meeting.
In his letter, Cooper said the city manager's evaluation was conducted in executive session, and the minutes of the meeting were not released. The evaluation was condensed to a document that Dougherty agreed to release.
"It is the city's position that transparency of senior employee's job performance is something that the public should be aware of, let alone the City Manager's desire to release it to the public," Cooper said.
Performance evaluations from three past contract positions have been released to the public, he added.
As for the second complaint, Cooper said the City Council discussed amending the TPT over the course of several months. They were "bemoaning" the fact that the city doesn't have enough revenue to repair the streets or complete major capital improvement projects.
Council held a public hearing regarding the TPT on Aug. 15 that was properly agendized and noticed according to state law, Cooper said.
"There appears to be some confusion amongst the folks complaining about the TPT rate," Cooper said in his letter to the AG. "It appears that they think the city has to designate where that increased revenue will be spent. Nowhere in the statutes (cited in the letter) require notice as to where the revenues will be spent."
He went on to say the Council has worked "tirelessly" to ensure transparency in its actions, and was "dismayed" at the allegations.
Mayor Monica Gates also sent a letter to Arizona Assistant Attorney General O.H. Skinner informing him that the council voted in open session not to renew the city manager's contract.
Shortly thereafter, a council member posted elements of the confidential discussion in executive session to a personal social media forum.
She expressed "grave concern" about the council not being transparent with city business outside of public meetings.
The notice of intent to increase the TPT did not include potential use of the additional revenue to fund two new interchanges at a price tag of $80 million to $100 million, Gates said.
"During the public hearing, the discussion focused on pavement preservation, the need to repair and maintain our existing streets and roadways," the mayor noted. "After the public hearing was closed, a council member made a motion to approve a half-cent sales tax increase for the purpose of funding the interchanges vis-à-vis capital improvement projects."
Gates said three council members created an agenda to not renew the city manager's contract without cause, and those same three members created an agenda that would combine the two interchanges and rename it the I-11 East Kingman Connection Project, and establish financing from the TPT increase. Neither of those meetings allowed for public comment, she added.
"Whether any open meeting laws have expressly been violated will be determined by your office," Gates said in her letter. "I believe in transparency, accountability and ensuring that the will and the needs of the community are met and upholding the letter, as well as the spirit of the law."

Encarmine looks a treat for adventure / novel game fans with it's fantastic gothic visual style and dark fantasy story featuring two demon hunters.
Encarmine is a gothic fantasy/adventure game featuring stark pulp visuals about Lucia and Maurus, two friends tracking a wayward spirit across the countryside. Play through two parallel campaigns to experience the complete story.
It was originally prototyped for Ludum Dare 24′s theme of "evolution." The Encarmine prototype, which included just Lucia's story, placed in the top 5 for Mood and in the top 20 for both Graphics and Audio. Since then, the graphics and story were refined and a second campaign told from Maurus's perspective was added.
Music for this game was composed within the 72 hour time limit by Yan "Nucleose" Rodriguez.

AskMen: Things All Guys Should Stop Doing by Age 30
Original Article: https://www.askmen.com/entertainment/austin/things-all-guys-should-stop-doing-by-age-30.html
1. Not Fighting For What You Believe In
Remember how when you were little you used to think the grown-ups had everything figured out? By now you've probably realized that there's no such thing as a "grown-up" and we're all just trying to do our best while making sense of this world. Well, the same applies to our goals, dreams, and personal standards. Many of us go through our teens and twenties with a feeling that change is going to come eventually, and when it does we'll start living the lives we envisioned for ourselves. Spoiler alert: That day never comes. You have to create it. And the sooner you start creating that life, the sooner you'll get to live it. "Not fighting for what you believe in is the same as quitting," says George Foreman III, founder of EverybodyFights. "Whether it's in the gym, at work, or in a relationship, you have to fight for what you want. You may not always win, and that's okay; but it's not yours until you fight for it."
8. Dogging it at the Gym
Listen, if you're over 30 and you're managing to make your way to the gym, you're already doing better than most guys your age. It's unfortunate, but true. But enough about them — you're doing great! That said, let's be honest: proximity to the treadmill doesn't increase your fitness. You have to get after it. You already found time to get to the gym, and your body needs these workouts now more than ever, so don't waste your time. "Your time is valuable, so make the most of your workout," says Foreman. "Don't go in and cruise on the elliptical machine." And if you simply feel like you just don't have it in you to motivate yourself to exercise with the kind of intensity you'd like to, consider taking up a physical activity or sport that you actually enjoy, like boxing, and then use that as a vehicle to upgrade your fitness. "A high-intensity workout like mitt work or a boxing circuit will get you in fighting shape," says Foreman. "And you'll also learn a new skill while you're at it!

Alright, I know I said I was going to post it in a few minutes, but I got distracted. C'mon, don't you know me by now? Hand me a pair of scissors, glue, and glitter and I'll be busy for 2 hours and 37 minutes! Haha!
So listen, I'm a bit of a movie fanatic and have been watching many movies since graduation (and before, duh. Late night study sessions meant it took me too long to pick which movie I wanted to watch). My problem is that I've come to the point where I think I've run out of movies on my "must-see" list, which isn't actually a real list at all yet a continuous mental checklist of "oh shit, gotta see that at some point".
Lets trade:
The movie "The Story of Luke" is a brilliant cinematic adventure of an autistic man named Luke who finds himself in a curious conundrum of finding a job and finding himself. And no, I didn't copy and paste that, I literally just mentally vomited on the page, wow. That description should go on my awesome one-liners list. Again, not really a list.
So now you tell me a great movie that I should watch! I'm open to television shows as well, though I should say that I'm very hooked on Scandal and am in the process of watching all seasons starting with episode 1. I've got some time to blow while waiting for job app responses.
Also, I've recently gotten an Instagram. Feel free to follow me. My username is chocolatesasquatch of course 😉

How many accidents have recently occurred at your work site lately? Accordingly, falls from high heights and scaffoldings hold the number one spot for construction site accidents. Scissor Lift is the simplest answer to this problem to avoid any more injuries.
Accordingly to Law Offices of Pat Maloney website, construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs. It is a high-risk environment due to the hazards of building materials, tools, machinery and others. One of the scariest parts of this is when you are required to do something in a high-place without any safety.
Most of the time, workers only use ladders or scaffoldings to extend on those places. Accidents usually happen due to these unsafe situations. Injuries and even death are the results of the results these mishaps.
If you are a construction business owners, you surely don't want any accidents on your site. Besides the nuisances, you should protect your personnel. That is the reason why cherry pickers and other aerial platforms are famous nowadays.
One of the most used platforms is the scissor lift. It is a machine where you can move up a worker and its equipment vertically in the safest way possible. There isn't a need for ladders, towers, and scaffoldings. An operator will help you carry out any job that requires height with it.
The other aerial platforms aside from the stated above are so famous that they can be hired now. Boom lift hires in Sydney is an example of it. Technically, buying yourself this machine can be beneficial but it's so expensive. If you only need it for some time, you can just hire and use it for a single job or two.
To emphasize, scissor lifts can provide a steady platform for your personnel to work. You can extend this one to 60 feet to fix windows or anything. It is so easy to manipulate to move around and to increase its height. Although, you will still need a proper operator to work on it.
The lift is made of strong steel with railings to support event the equipment needed. There is a safety harness for both the person and his things. The foundation is so dependable due to the design of the machine. Its called by its name because of its design too. The X pattern open and close when it goes up and down.
If you are thinking about electricity, it has too! A scissor lift is also electrically operated. Hence, you can really enjoy its benefits. Although, outside works aren't its only specialty because it can also be used inside any building provided with enough space.
In all, aerial platforms such as this lift must really be on your construction site now. Be awed at how fast you can finish and earn more with this new technology.

It's not uncommon for a rapper and a brand to link up. Just take Kanye West and Adidas, Travis Scott and Helmut Lang, Lil Yachty and Nautica and even Snoop Dogg and Joyrich. But what happens when the result is not a collection, but a song?
Drake has the answer for you, and it involves Louis Vuitton. The Toronto rapper announced today that he's releasing a new track based on the French house's upcoming menswear collection, which the label unveils tomorrow in Paris during Men's Fashion Week. Drizzy posted a graphic reading "Drake signs" and the Vuitton logo today, hinting at the new project. According to his caption, the track was produced by his record label OVO, too.
Drake's Vuitton-inspired song premieres tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. Paris time on louisvuitton.com. We're sure it'll stack up to other designer-influenced tracks we've heard this year, like "Raf" by A$AP Mob and "Chanel" by Frank Ocean.

Visit to Eastbrook Farm – Winner of the 2016 RASE National Agricultural Award
A huge thank you to Helen Browning and her sterling team for a thoroughly enjoyable and informative visit to Eastbrook Farm.
Organically farming since 1986, this fabulously quirky farm was thoroughly deserving of the 2016 RASE National Agricultural Award.
A tour of Eastbrook's diverse enterprises included dairy; dairy bred beef/veal and heifers; pigs from farrow to finish; arable (wheat, barley, oats, pulses) and sheep.
The day was rounded off at the award winning Royal Oak pub whereby members were spoilt with a superb lunch.

First, I am here in class, participating. Gold star.
Okay, I don't like this article.
It tastes bad.
Bleh. There was an extended characterization of Obama; it was well-done... nice imagery, color, all that. Since it was so well done, it probably made me like the article less.
I guess the part that's getting to me is what Obama said to the business owner. I'm not saying it wasn't a good point, I'm not saying it wasn't a perfectly framed media moment. He just sounds like a snot, and that makes me bristle.
Normally, when I'm reading political material, I try to keep an open mind and give the benefit of the doubt. Since the author certainly wasn't aiming for objectivity, I'm not going to bother to stifle my irritation.

When you write a check to a charity or give online with a credit card, how do you know the organization is putting the money to good use? That's a question many people are asking--especially those who are in the 33% of Americans who lack faith in charities according to a Chronicle of Philanthropy study.
Measuring return on charitable dollars is becoming a hot topic as our culture's definition of "philanthropy" continues to expand to include a wide range of social impact activities, including volunteering, serving on boards, purchasing products that support a cause, and caring for overall health and wellness.
So what's the best approach for families, individuals, and businesses who are evaluating investments in the community? Here are three tips to help you get more out of your charitable giving.
Brush up on best practices
If you enjoy diving into research, you're in luck! A comprehensive body of literature is available to help you understand factors and techniques for effective charitable giving. What these resources have in common is that they look at the giving from the charity's perspective and offer you--the donor--information and advice on how and where to give for the highest impact. Some of these resources focus on providing donors objective information about charities; some include rankings or evaluations of charities; and others advise donors on how to be "high impact" or more effective in reaching philanthropic goals.
Check out the 2014 Donor Experience Study for a comprehensive literature review, as well as insights about "impact," including this one:
. . . the notion of impact itself is a challenge because it is so difficult to measure in the social sector. Few donor-focused philanthropic institutions are addressing "impact" at a donor-by-donor level because the mechanics are so challenging. Furthermore, of the work that is underway, most of it only addresses "impact" at an output level (e.g., "The grant from my donor advised fund allowed a nonprofit to purchase shoes for 100 people."). Technically, "outputs" are not the same thing as "impact," from a professional evaluation and measurement standpoint. An impact level statement would look something more like this: "The grant from my donor advised fund allowed a nonprofit to purchase shoes for 100 people, and those shoes prevented those people from catching a communicable disease and extended their lives by an average of 15 years." For examples of best practices in impact and measurement, see the work of FSG at www.fsg.org.
Focus on your own experience and satisfaction
Regardless of the causes people choose to support, giving to charities will grow if people feel better about their experiences with philanthropy. In other words, if we can find ways for people to like it more, at home and in the workplace, all boats will rise in our social impact culture. That's why it's important to factor your own experience and satisfaction into the social impact equation.
Consider these ideas:
- Give to what you know. Most Americans get the greatest joy from giving to causes with which they are personally familiar. This makes it easier to understand how the charity is using your dollars. So, for example, if you've had experience with helping foster children, you are likely to understand how the organization is using your donation to support training for foster parents. Or if someone in your family suffers from a disability, you will understand what it means to give money to support an individual to receive an extra six weeks of therapy beyond what insurance will pay. And do not be afraid to ask! Most organizations are happy to share the tangible impact of your donation—whether it is $10, $100, $1,000 or more.
- Give where you are. Many Americans support charitable causes overseas, and that is wonderful. But don't forget that sometimes the greatest needs are right here at home. Look for opportunities to support local charities who are celebrating year-end giving by offering information about the overall need, the mission they serve to meet that need, and the positive impact of a year-end gift on the lives of others. When you give local, you are in a much better position to have confidence in your gift.
- Give to what you love. Above all, give to the charities you love. Gifts that are aligned with a passion and your own love of humanity carry the most energy and ultimately make the most difference. The bottom line is that giving should feel good. Certainly understanding how a charity is using the money is a part of that. But don't let that get in the way of doing good and enjoying every minute of it.
Add up the good you are already doing
Most Americans' social impact activities reach far beyond writing checks to charities. Contemporary philanthropy embraces the full range of social impact behaviors:
- Caring about health and wellness
- Giving to charities
- Volunteering at a charity
- Serving on a charity's board of directors
- Purchasing products that support a cause
- Recycling and respecting a sustainable environment
- Donating items of food and clothing
- Marketing a favorite charity
- Sharing with family and friends in need
- Celebrating at community events
Take a moment to reflect on all the good you are already doing.
Next, think about the social impact activities going on in your workplace. See which features sound familiar as you skim this sample summary of a corporate citizenship program:
A recycling bin next to every desk. A rain garden on the roof. A scholarship fund for fellow employees who need help. A program to encourage time off for volunteering. Disaster relief funds to help employees make donations to tornado victims. Organized clothing drives and canned food drives. A corporate foundation. A donor-advised fund for every employee. The gift of a giving card to each employee on a birthday or anniversary of employment. Annual donations by the company to a few favorite charities. Purchasing tables at charity events. A matching gifts program. Lights that turn off automatically. Credit to employees for service on nonprofit boards of directors. A special place in the break room to post cookie order forms and sell fitness bracelets and collect pop tabs and display a list of all of the charities that the employees collectively support and the impressive tally of total donations. Employee participation in the grant making decisions of the company's foundation. A program where the company pays half of the cost of season tickets to support employee attendance at local performing arts productions.
Indeed, it's important to consider the "doing good" opportunities you experience with your employer and colleagues. As work, life, community, and wellness converge in our society, social impact has become an important part of our personal and professional success.
The net-net here is that no matter what causes you support, you can make a difference in the community you love and feel good about it, too. In fact, your social impact footprint is probably already bigger than you think. And that's measurement worth celebrating.

Movie: Parental Guidance, 1 hour and 45 min. This 2012 romp stars Billy Crystal as Artie Decker and Bette Midler as his wife, Diane, the self-described "Other Grandparents." The Deckers agree to babysit their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents, played by Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott, must leave town for work and find themselves without coverage for the kids. Somewhat estranged from their daughter, the Deckers don't know what they are in for when they pull up to her house and are confronted with Harper's high achievement syndrome, Turner's stutter, and Barker's imaginary friend, Carl.
Needless to say, there is bound to be a clash when the kids' totally PC upbringing meets their grandparents' old-school childrearing style. There is too much potty humor, the writing is pedestrian, and the Deckers' ultimate reconciliation with their adult daughter is schmaltzy. Nevertheless, there are three good reasons to watch Parental Guidance: 1) The charm of Crystal as a washed-up minor league sports commentator and Midler as an eager-to-please housewife more than make up for the plot's deficiencies. 2) Every grandparent can identify with the Deckers' plight of supervising young kids in a strange house with little direction. 3) We all need a good, uncomplicated laugh now and then—especially now.

Coral Triangle Initiative - Southeast Asia Books Launched!
Today, I'm excited to unveil the project that I'm most proud to have been a part of this year: a set of publications showcasing the work, the people, and the success of the Coral Triangle Initiative/ CTI-Southeast Asia (CTI-SEA) project. Funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in partnership with Global Environment Facility (GEF), the CTI-SEA project was a five-year effort that successfully sought out and implemented initiatives that helped coastal communities deal with climate change. These included mangrove forest restoration, seaweed farming, climate-resilient rice planting, and the development of the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme.
I traveled to the beautiful cities of Taytay, Palawan, and Pagadian, Zamboanga del Sur to photograph and document the projects, both above and below water. I was fortunate to have met and worked with amazing people who are committed to the conservation and management of our marine ecosystem. Most inspiring were the kids—high school students who carry out their own projects with the guidance of the team.
Conservation photography is what I love doing, and I'm extremely blessed to have these materials as my first commissioned project. Sadly, I wasn't able to visit the Turtle Islands as planned due to security issues, but that would be a case of having my cake and eating it, too. :p

Sledgehammers banging, big guys offering loudly their bus-trips across the city, cars in every directions, hundreds of food stalls offering your the smells of the world's cuisine - that's what meets you a summer day at the very start of Broadway, downtown Manhattan.
Arriving to Broadway, you pass through the Battery Park with thousands of tourists heading for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty - but I will take you to the opposite direction: walking up North on Broadway - a street I know well, as I lived there for four years.
Just up from number one Broadway you will meet the holy cow - and no I have not switched to New Delhi - we are still in New York. Well, it's not exactly the holy cow of Broadway but the Wall Street Bull, once the symbol of the bullish dealers in the City now a mere tourist attraction. Here you also find the important NYC city office if you wish to open your own business, but forget about selling your Nation's food these days - NYC has stopped issuing licenses for any new food stores.
On this stretch of Broadway, you literally have the history of the world at your feet. Every two meters or so, you'll find these concrete bronze strips in the pavement telling which personalities have marked Broadway's history in parades held for them. On one single morning, I came across the couple flying around the world for the first time, the Norwegian Crown Prince of the thirties, Charles de Gaulle, former French President (you stumble over him when exiting one of the Fulton Street station's exits!), one or two former Pakistan presidents and many many more.
The history of this "pavement world declaration" dates back to the 1880s, when a parade was dedicated to the Statue of Liberty. Since then many parades have been held on this stretch of Broadway called "the Canyon of Heroes" - precisely commemorating heroes of the time. Don't confuse the dates with any achievements of these personalities - the dates refer solely to the day of the parade honouring them.

DVD Release Date: March 17, 2008 (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
Number of Discs: 3
Number of Episodes: 26
Running Time: 588 minutes
Runtime of Special Features: N/A
Languages, Subtitles, Closed Captioning: English; Closed-Captioned
Special Features: None
The Bundys are back for the next-to-last season of the hit former Fox sitcom, Married... with Children! They're all grown up now (but not out of the house, of course), and just as dysfunctional as they always have been. The tenth season brings us a new character that we had heard of in the past, but never actually saw (and we still don't see in this season either, even though she lives with the Bundy's now), Al's mother-in-law, and she is as beastly as Al has described her! We also get to see more of Al's NO MA'AM group and we even see Peggy leave the series (but only temporarily) as Katey Segal takes a leave of absence for her real-life pregnancy. It's time for more love and marriage, once again!
Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:
The tenth season starts out big (and I mean huge) when Peggy's whale of a mother moves in to the Bundy house in "Guess Who's Coming to Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner." It is a sad day in the Bundy house when Buck dies (and we also find out that not all dogs go to heaven) in "Requiem for a Dead Briard." Ben Stein guest stars. Al starts his own church for NO MA'AM in "Reverend Al." Kelly comes up with a cure for baldness in "How Bleen Was My Kelly," but it has some side effects that the wives really like. It is a case of revenge of the nerds, and Kelly is the victim, in "Blonde & Blonder." Shannon Tweed guest stars in "The Two That Got Away."
Terry Bradshaw guest stars in "Dud Bowl II," where Al is determined to have his high school football field named after himself. Will Peggy's father (played by Tim Conway) take Peggy's mom back to Wanker County? Find out in "Bearly Men." Peggy's mom gets a job working as a phone sex operator in "I Can't Believe It's Butter," and Griff seems to have a thing for Butter! It is anniversary time for Marcy and Jefferson in "The Agony and the Extra C," but will it be so happy when Jefferson gets a tattoo that has the "c" missing in Marcy's name?
It is spring break time in the two-part episode "Spring Break," and Kelly may become Miss Spring Break with a little help from Al and his friends--unless Marcy, Bud, and his fraternity can stop it! Pat Morita guest stars in "Turning Japanese" as Marcy's boss, and he wants something that the Bundys have--the Dodge! Every dog needs a house, and Marcy teaches Al that it must be up to the building codes in "Al Goes to the Dogs." Nicole Eggert and Alan Thicke guest star in "Enemies," an episode that was to be a pilot for a spinoff that never got off the ground. Beverly Archer plays the librarian in "Bud Hits the Books," where Bud has some, umm, unauthorized use of the school library, thanks in part to his sex-crazed librarian! Jefferson and Kelly are going to do it--a TV commercial that is--in "Kiss of the Coffee Woman," but how will Al and Marcy react when they have to do a commercial together that actually makes it look like they are doing it? The season ends with "The Joke's on Al," where it is a race of practical jokes between Jefferson and Al.
We have slim cases for this set, once again. They've been using slim cases since season eight. This time, though, it is nothing to truly get all that excited about, but that isn't to say it isn't creative either. The cover art clearly refers to the "Spring Break" episodes and has a shot of the entire family on the beach (even though Peggy did not go to the beach as the rest of the family did...). Inside, we have slim cases that are designed to represent the Bundy refrigerator. Unfortunately, the DVDs open from the opposite side of where the handle is located... oh well. The back of each slim case lists the episodes contained on the discs with brief descriptions. Disc 1 features a picture of Al and Peggy, Disc 2 features a picture of Kelly, and Disc 3 features a picture of Bud. Disc 1 contains episodes 1-9, Disc 2 contains episodes 10-17, and Disc 3 contains episodes 18-26.
Menu Design and Navigation:
The menus are pretty much the same on each disc, with the main menu having a family snapshot and options of Play All Episodes and Episode Selection. It isn't anything fancy, and that should be of no surprise to fans. Once you select Episode Selections, you get a menu that shows you the episodes, with a snapshot from each episode. There aren't any scene selection menus, but chapters are placed at all of the appropriate places.
Video and Audio Quality:
As far as the video and audio are concerned, we should just say that it is below average, particularly in regards to the video. The episodes seem to have some contrast issues (some being too dark, others too light) that are somewhat bothersome to me, as I have NOT seen these problems in syndication. There are other minor defects here and there too that have a tendency to bother me. The audio isn't quite a disaster, but it isn't a great sounding audio track that is going to impress anybody. Truth be told, though, the series never really did have a great audio track anyway. Still, they could have done better. Each episode is presented in Dolby Digital Surround Sound (or, as the opening credits logo proclaims, "In Stereo Where Available"), and is closed-captioned.
We have the edited theme song once again. That doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me is the fact that somebody felt a necessity to remove the "Love and Marriage" credit from the closing credits by redoing the entire credits, completely destroying virtually EVERY SINGLE scene that ran with the closing credits! In the past, we've had audio with still photos, which was awkward, but at least it was something. Now, in most cases, we have just a still photo from the missing scene with the new closing music instead of the audio from the scene! So, basically, we do have things missing from these episodes! It is incredibly obnoxious. There is one episode though that does have the original closing scene intact with the video, though--the episode "Kiss of the Coffee Woman." Other than these edits, however, there seem to be no further edits. None of the episodes appear to be syndicated episodes, and original music is intact aside from the theme song. That is always great news. But how great is that news with the other problems this set is plagued with?
Runtimes for each episode are as follows:
Disc 1:
Guess Who's Coming to Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (22:49)
A Shoe Room With a View (22:50)

Special Features:
We have nothing at all as far as special features are concerned on this set. I am incredibly disappointed that they didn't include the special "The Al Bundy Sports Spectacular" that Fox aired in the tenth season! And why can't they do some interviews for these sets???
Final Comments:
I can't say that I am too thrilled with this set. I've been giving this series a pass in the past despite the theme song issue, but when they mess with the closing scenes like this, plus provide video quality that just seems disappointing at times, I can't be too excited. I guess there is a ray of hope with season 11, since most episodes in that season did not feature any closing credit scenes, but still, will the video quality be this disappointing? Will we still have no special features? My guess is that the answer is "yes" to both questions. Still, this is a hilarious show (that will come as no surprise to the fans), and is definitely fun to watch. But make sure that when you do watch it, that you hold your nose when you think about the problems that plague this set, because much like Al's feet, it stinks!
Final Numbers (out of 5 stars - How our point system works)
Video Quality: 3.5/5
Audio Quality: 4/5
Special Features: 0/5
Menu Design/Navigation: 4.5/5
Overall: 3/5

Massey Fergusonis extending and expanding the appeal its MF 5700 Global tractor Series with its Dyna-4 transmission now available for the four-cylinder MF 5710 and MF 5711 models.
These 100hp and 110hp Dyna-4 models will also be available with the option of cab suspension.
The new additions join the MF 5708 and MF 5709 Dyna-4, three-cylinder models introduced recently at the Agritechnica Show in 2017.
Equipped with the new performance enhancing Dyna-4 transmission and optional cab suspension, the MF 5700 Global Series range now offers more choice and a higher specification for those looking for a modern, rugged and hardworking tractor.
These latest additions broaden Massey Ferguson's Global Series, which now provides customers with an even wider choice of either clutchless control of the Dyna-4 transmission, or easy operation with the existing, most modern 12×12 mechanical transmission.
"Equipped with the Dyna-4 transmission, the new MF 5710 and MF 5711 tractors, will appeal to a wide range of farmers looking for extra performance and versatility – particularly for field operations," says Francesco Quaranta, Vice-President Sales, Marketing & Product Management MF EME.
The addition of the Dyna-4 semi-powershift transmission, as well as the option of added cab suspension comfort on the new 100hp and 110hp models in the Massey Ferguson MF 5700 Series further refines the Global Series' modern, straightforward design.
Dyna-4 is a highly efficient transmission that provides simple and convenient control of 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds with four Dynashift (powershift) speeds in four ranges A 'creep' speed is an option.
With four change-on-the move Dynashift speeds in each gear, it offers ultimate ease of operation with the left-hand Power Control lever and console-mounted T-lever.
On top of straightforward, clutchless range changes, it also offers further sophistication with optional AutoDrive. In the 'Automatic' setting this changes gears automatically, according to the engine load and speed. As well easing operation, this also selects the best setting for performance and fuel economy.
With Dyna-4 comes the further option of the practical brake-to-neutral facility. This superb control greatly enhances and eases loader operation. Activated with a simple rocker switch, this engages neutral whenever the brakes are depressed, which means operators need to use just one pedal.
A new cab suspension option greatly enhances operator comfort on the MF 5700 Dyna-4 models.
The entirely mechanical system employs two silent block bushes to support the cab at the front, with a pair of spring-assisted shock absorbers mounted on the two rear corners. The mechanical system requires no operator input, with the damping set to pre-determined levels by the shock absorbers and springs.

A little while ago I started a new habit - I create something every day. I draw and paint a little character using limited supplies in my ten minute journal and post it on Instagram daily. I have found this small but consistent practice enormously helpful. Want to check it out? Here you go...
Then I came across Elle Luna's 100 days project over at The Great Discontent. These words really spoke to me.
I had only been doing my daily journal page for a few weeks but already I knew this to be true. The muse doesn't come and chase you down. You have to keep showing up consistently and then she can find you. Of course I signed up to #the100dayproject and today will be the 26th day out of 100 for my #100daysof10minutejournals.
The point of the exercise is process and discipline. I have realised that making time to sit down and create every day has helped me so much more than the counting of the art hours that I have been doing up until now. So I am changing tack. Actually it feels more like getting back on track. What I really want is to make art. The best way to do it is to do a little bit every day.
So the theme for this first month of May is flower faces.
This is Flower Faces No 1.
I have had a few challenges since the art bug bit me. Like the fact that I was a maths/science kid at school, and then a business graduate and professional who had never before considered painting or drawing. So knowing where to begin was rather tricky (not to mention entirely daunting!)
I started with books, then online courses. It's all good. When you don't know where to start the solution is simple…. Start anywhere! And then for the last year or two I have noticed that I only tended to do artwork from online classes - assigned tasks if you will. Now I want to do something that has nothing to do with anyone's class. (I'm a classaholic, so I won't be giving that up) but I am challenging myself to make something every day, Monday to Friday and post it here. I am picking a different theme for each month.

In ministry we teach "it's all about the community". But sometimes we as the ministers don't really follow our own advice. If you are not careful, leading can be a very lonely, lonely place. Because we are the ones students and leaders go to for help, the amount of time we actually have to get some help for ourselves get tougher. If we are not careful, this can cause some serious damage.
One of the most important things I would say in my own spiritual life is having people I have intentionally placed in my life who can be a sounding board for decisions I need to make in my personal, spiritual, and ministerial life.
These people I trust greatly. These people I know I can go to for anything. These people I know will tell me the truth and not just what I want to hear. They ask me the tough questions, question my reasoning, challenge me in areas of my life I need to be challenged in. All in all, they make me a better Christ follower which makes me a better pastor. When we do not have these people in our lives and ministry, you will not only pay the price but your students will suffer the consequences of your actions and decisions because you had no one to go to.
We really are better together. We were not created to do anything alone. God wants a relationship with us. He wants us to have relationships with others. Pastors and youth workers need relationships to thrive. Thriving ministers have people in their lives who ask them the tough things and thriving ministers have people they can go to for anything in life and ministry to be a sounding board.
So the question is: who is your sounding board and who are you being a sounding board to?

I know it's July, but I started knitting a sweater last night. I'm making it with sheep wool and alpaca which I am carding together and spinning. I have a few balls of yarn done, but not enough for the whole sweater so I'll have to stop and spin more from time to time. I hope I can get it done in time to wear it this winter! But with size 11 needles, it is going fast.
What they are saying about my books!"MR. RIGHT'S BABY is a heart-warming read continuing to tug at your heartstrings long after the final page. Stegman's characters are so natural they feel like old friends." Linda Keller, RWA Bookseller of the Year. From Goodreads about FORTUNE'S FOE: "Ms. Stegman has succeeded in combining history and romance in a well-written story that is sure to grab the interest of all fans of the genre. The action and plot is non-stop and gripping, keeping you turning the pages to see what happens next. Alejandro de Silva is my kind of hunky, adorable hero with a sense of decency and morality and Mariette is my kind of heroine who is strong and loyal and willing to sacrifice herself for those she loves. All in all, a very enjoyable read." Cheryl Landmark

Double Closet Doors For Bedrooms - Building cupboards is a multi-million dollar business. Homeowners spend hours combing through magazines, catalogs, and websites to locate the cabinet designs that are perfect for their house. But those sliding cabinet doors tend to be overlooked. Spending time plus money on an ideal cabinet makes little sense when the doors are dated and impractical.
As you consider whether to modernize your cabinet doors, there are several questions you should ask yourself. The first is whether you now possess the correct fashion of the door in your cabinet. According to how big the cabinet, you might find that a distinct form of door functions best. You need to also consider your door's shade in addition to whether you like vinyl, wood or a different material. Eventually, you'll find many cosmetic choices that you can think about based on the door type.
To get your cabinet job underway, step one is to take some time to consider the type of doors you wish to work with for your own new, organized cabinets. Most cabinets use one of four varieties of doors: swinging, bifold, sliding, or accordion. Each type of cabinet door has its particular unique uses and its advantages. A swinging door is your fundamental panel door which you open out for access in your cabinet. While a door that is versatile, it may also take up plenty of space when open, rendering it fairly unpopular except when used in rooms which have large spaces.
Bifold cabinet doors are really two narrow doors that are hinged together. They normally are made with lesser quality stuff, although space saving and are prone to warping. Accordion doors have fallen from favor and for great reason. These doors fold up like an accordion or a fan, when open. To create the flexibility needed to open in this way, flimsy substances are usually used which make accordion doors unattractive and easily broken.

The 11 year old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, and her 17 year old sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Thompson are not afraid to tell what is on their mind and even Kim Kardashian is not safe when it comes to their disses!
The young reality TV siblings recently appeared on The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro and they were ready to openly throw shade at the Kardashian clan!
Honey Boo Boo revealed that she likes two people from the famous Kardashian family but was not so impressed by Kim however.
"I would LOVE love to meet Khloe or Kylie."
In fact, neither Honey Boo Boo nor her sister was impressed by the queen of social media.
"Kim, I feel like, is overdramatic," Pumpkin savagely explained.
"I just love Kylie. . .Kim, like Pumpkin said, is a little overdramatic," Honey Boo Boo stated in a sassy manner.
As you may already know, the girls appeared alongside Mama June this week on her new show – Mama June: From Not to Hot?
"She had gastric sleeve back in May of 2015, and then she slowly started losing weight, and the reason she got the gastric sleeve was because she hit a plateau — she couldn't lose any weight," Pumpkin revealed.
"And then it came to a point where [the trainer] had to step in because she hit another plateau with the gastric sleeve, and wasn't losing any more weight."
"It was hanging from where she lost so much weight, and her arms and her chin, so she got [the skin on] her stomach removed."
According to her daughters, Shannon also got her breasts done.
"She got her boobies done. She got them from a 44 long to 36 up."

text: Richard Dickson, technical analyst at Lowry Research, feels the market is set up to for another rally attempt in the short-term, as momentum indicators are all pointing higher and trend indicators are close to giving "buy" signals. He maintained his "guarded outlook" for the intermediate term, however, due to poor action among buying power and selling pressure indicators, which suggest any break to the downside could quickly accelerate into a "substantial" drop. Dickson's targets for a market bounce are 8,300 to 8,500 for the Dow industrials DJIA, +0.96%, 880 to 890 for the S&P 500 Index SPX, +1.21% and 1,400 for the Nasdaq Composite $compq, versus current levels of 7,968, 850 and 1,350, respectively.

Save Your Breath by Letting these Bandages Explain What Really Happened Wednesday, 06 June 2012
Sadly these amazing bandages are currently out of stock over to Urban Outfitters but if they were, I would make them an essential part of my wilderness first aid kit replacing the Dora the Explorer band-aids I currently use. My extensive research tells me that while adults love Dora the Explorer, given the choice, 2 of 3 injured people would choose "Ninja Fight" over a jumping blue monkey and a weird looking girl with huge eyes. A box of band-aids are $7 so make sure you save them only for your most injured clients/kids.
Zombies Can't Swim, Buy a Kayak. Spread the Word with this Awesome T-Shirt Friday, 01 June 2012
Blogger and friend of the site, Bryan Hansel from paddlinglight.com is currently taking pre-orders for an awesome t-shirt he got designed. You need to purchase one of these shirts. Just think of it as a public service announcement for your friends to get prepared because when our zombie overloads finally descend it will be too late for everybody. This whole zombie swimming thing originally came out of a post I did back a year ago where I fantasized about somebody making a t-shirt so I'm glad Bryan came through for us. Shortly after I posted the original article, a paddling/hiking shop in Kitchener,Ontario got famous for 3 minutes when their store marquee was featured on the Fail/Win! Blog. Bryan's black t-shirts with white ink are selling for $16.99 with $6 shipping to U.S. addresses. If you live outside the U.S of A, contact Bryan and he will let you know shipping costs. Order it here.

Take Charge of that Campfire Sing-Along like a Captain Thursday, 05 April 2012
We all know that the worst part of campfires is sitting in the dirt. Sure you can bring along one of those Crazy Creek camping chairs but why settle when you can rule the outdoors like God intended? There is only two problems with the officially licensed Star Trek captain's chair. The first is that it's inflatable so watch for sparks and the second is that it's only for somebody up to 120lbs. The description on the site says that it's designed for kids but I like to believe it's a weight management motivator for fat camping geeks. Other than those minor drawbacks, I give this and official rating of, "Set course for awesome". Pick up your own chair at thinkgeek.com for only $24.99.

This was my very first nursery to design, and it's safe to say that I'm feeling a little baby fever after finishing this calm, whimsical and oh-so cute room! I've done a few designs so far for kids and teens. But, this project in particular was a fun challenge, because my clients wanted to keep the gender of their new baby a complete surprise!
Gender Neutral spaces are becoming more and more popular for children's rooms, as we see designs branch out from the traditional baby blues and pinks. So, luckily there was no shortage of adorable furnishings to choose from! And it helped that my client and mom-to-be, Amy, already had a great design style in mind for this cozy room.
She had selected this adorable vintage-inspired Hawaiian wave wallpaper, and a West Elm glider to pair with an existing warm tone dresser her and her husband had in the space. Amy just wanted a little help brining these three cornerstone pieces together into a cohesive design that didn't feel under or over done. For these reasons, and the added convenience of e-design, the Spruce Kit made the most sense for this project!
From our collaboration on their private Pinterest board, I observed that Amy and her husband gravitated toward cool colors, and warm wood tones. And in particular, they were mostly drawn to blues and greens. While these are both typically seen as "masculine" colors, I knew I could design a space that incorporated all of their preferences with a neutral spin — a room that would feel engaging and inspiring for their new baby, regardless the gender.
In order to balance out the bold blue statement wall, I softened the room up with white shiplap along the wall of windows and added texture with woven rope, shag and wicker elements. I also can't get over how adorable this muted pastel rainbow pillow is. Is it weird that I really want one for myself?
I also recommended Amy keep the dresser as is, instead of painting it. I think the wood tone warms up the space nicely, and keeps it from feeling too "baby"—even after converting it to a changing table of sorts!
And guess, what?! The day after I delivered their Spruce Kit design, they introduced a healthy baby B O Y into their beautiful family. Welcome to the world, Witten! I hope you love living in your room as much as I enjoyed designing it for you.

COLORADO SPRINGS — A Fort Carson soldier accused of trying to strangle a prostitute was arrested about two weeks after he went to a Colorado Springs police station to ask if they were investigating him, court records show.
Sgt. Nilark Bates, 22, of Augusta, Ga., — a decorated medical laboratory specialist with more than four years of military service — was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony attempted murder, robbery and menacing, and misdemeanor solicitation for prostitution.
According to court records, a woman told police that on Nov. 28, she agreed to have a "quick visit" with Bates at a Colorado Springs hotel in exchange for $100. When she started performing oral sex on him, records show, he allegedly demanded she take off her pants, even though she told police she had never agreed to have intercourse with Bates.
The woman was afraid she was about to be assaulted, documents say. She turned her back to Bates to try to call police for help, and he allegedly stepped toward her and wrapped his arm tightly around her neck until she lost consciousness, Bates' arrest affidavit says. He is being held on $50,000 bond.
