The Mashantucket Pequots may have found a casino siting solution that is agreeable to Philadelphia city officials as described below in a Philadelphia Inquirer article today:
Rendell, Nutter hail casino plan
By Jeff Shields and Jennifer Lin
Philadelphia Inquirer
September 11, 2008
A proposal to switch the Foxwoods location to the Gallery from the riverfront could enhance the Market East area, they said.
A proposal to build the Foxwoods Casino within the Gallery at Market East rather than on the South Philadelphia waterfront would allow the city to reinvent one of its dreariest downtown thoroughfares and improve nearby neighborhoods, Gov. Rendell and Mayor Nutter said yesterday.
Rendell, Nutter and Foxwoods officials formally introduced their plan, which calls for building a 3,000-machine slots parlor in part of the Gallery, a 1970s-era attempt at urban retail redevelopment that never quite took.
Instead of erecting an automobile-oriented complex on Columbus Boulevard, Foxwoods would build a public-transit-friendly casino in 300,000 square feet on the section of the Gallery anchored by a Burlington Coat Factory.
Rendell said that, in the past, he was sensitive to the potential effect of a Center City casino on the city's important tourism industry and the nearby historic district. He said he was now comfortable that the half-mile buffer between the Gallery and Independence Mall would suffice.
If executed properly, Nutter said, the remaking of the Gallery as part of a broader plan for the Market East Corridor "gives us a new opportunity to completely reevaluate how we're doing planning and economic development in our downtown central core."
The concept presents Foxwoods with a chance to build retail and hotel space and act as a catalyst for a grander redevelopment of the Market East Corridor, officials said. Foxwoods does not have city approval to build subsequent phases at its South Philadelphia location.
"This, frankly, gives us a shot at an even more exciting outcome," said Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation chairman Michael Thomas, whose tribe is in partnership with local investors to build its first project outside its successful casino complex in Ledyard, Conn.
"We would like to be part of longer-term phases of development for the city," said Thomas. "We don't build slot rooms."
One option would be to expand atop the Gallery, which was constructed with a foundation that would support building on top of it.
Paul Levy, president of the Center City District, called the proposal "a path-breaking opportunity."
"What we should do with this opportunity is not simply focus on the casino project itself, but think about how this is a catalyst for the entire Market Street East development," he said.
Nutter and Rendell took pains to present the proposal as an "option" that requires vetting by the public, and multiple hoops to be jumped through. Those include City Council zoning legislation and public hearings, approval by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, and possibly state legislation.
"Our commitment is to try and get something reasonably done," said Nutter, whose promise of an open process was already under attack yesterday.
Helen Gym of Asian Americans United, one of the groups that helped kill a proposal to build a baseball park in Chinatown several years ago, was one of those faulting the deal.
"Right now, this process has taken the community by surprise and follows a pattern of redevelopment that's been going on for 30 years," Gym said.
She and Deborah Wei, principal of the Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School in Chinatown, wore "No Stadium in Chinatown" T-shirts to the City Hall news conference where the proposal was unveiled.
Casino-Free Philadelphia, which has provided the political savvy for the anti-casino movement, issued a statement yesterday calling the proposal a "huge win," but also a "betrayal."
"Instead of using a transparent process with public input as a guide, our elected officials are now trying to place a casino in a neighborhood with no bigger planning, no principles, and no relationship to citizens who will be affected," the statement said.
Rendell said that if Foxwoods failed in its attempt at the Gallery, it would proceed with its original waterfront scheme.
"That's not a threat - that's their right, that's their livelihood," he said. "They've already put a lot of money into this, and they have to begin the process of recouping it, and we understand that."
Foxwoods has invested $120 million in licensing fees and its South Philadelphia property alone, said Thomas, the tribal chairman.
Foxwoods has been trying to build a $670 million facility in Pennsport since December 2006, when it was awarded one of two Philadelphia slots licenses.
Neighbors, joined by anti-casino activists, City Councilman Frank DiCicco (whose district encompasses Pennsport), and state legislators, have argued that it would ruin their neighborhood.
Nutter, when he took office in January, joined their opposition, saying casinos did not fit his vision for the waterfront.
In July, Rendell asked Foxwoods to meet with him in a deal with Philadelphia legislators who were holding up a critical economic-development bill. Last month, he and Nutter announced that Foxwoods was willing to explore other properties. What he didn't say was that Foxwoods was already targeting the Gallery.
Tim Caramanico, chairman of the Friends of Independence National Historical Park, said a casino could actually attract more visitors to the historic district.
"I don't think it will be a negative issue for the park," he said.
The development would bring more traffic, but Rendell said that the extensive Market East SEPTA station would cut down on cars.
Nutter said casino traffic would reach its peak at night, when East Market Street was a "dead zone," as DiCicco described it.
Foxwoods Casino Philadelphia is owned by Foxwoods Development, the development arm of the Mashantucket Pequots, in partnership with a local ownership group founded by developer Ronald Rubin, Comcast/Spectacor chairman Ed Snider, and entrepreneur Lewis Katz. The local ownership has vested its share of the partnership in charitable trusts and will take no profit from the deal. Rubin is also chairman and chief executive officer of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, which owns the Gallery.

WIFT sat down with Gaylene to talk about what she learned from making the film, feminism and how outrage can be invigorating.
At one point in the film, Helen said that women have to believe in themselves and it's up to any woman of influence to encourage others to believe in themselves. Have you always had that confidence or have you learned it over time?
I think you can decide whether you're going to be confident or not. I think resilience is more important, actually. Being able to take the knocks is really the important thing.

Note: This information is about charitable contributions pertaining to tax year 2017. For information about tax year 2018, meet with Tom.
The Internal Revenue Service allows taxpayers to deduct cash and non-cash charitable donations to 501(c)(3) organizations. Donations to most organizations that are not a 501(c)(3) do not count as a charitable donation to the IRS, even if the donation is for a local fundraiser. There are some exemptions to this rule, however, including donations to local government institutions and non-profit schools. The IRS outlines what can and cannot qualify as a charitable contribution in IRS Publication 526.
Deduct these contributions on Schedule A, attached to the Form 1040 individual tax return.
For both cash and non-cash donations, taxpayers should receive a receipt from a charitable organization for any donation valued over $250. Do not lose this receipt as the IRS requires it as proof of donation, and most organizations will not reprint a new receipt.
Charitable cash contributions
Taxpayers wishing to deduct cash donations must maintain receipts of their cash donations as required by the IRS. Common 501(c)(3) organizations taxpayers donate to include their church, local boys and girls clubs, Goodwill, Salvation Army and some animal rescue organizations including Animal Humane Society.
Churches often are able to provide an end-of-year print out for all cash donations to the church for the tax year. Please contact your church for more information about print-outs.
Non-cash contributions
The IRS requires donors to attach a value to their donated items. Record every item donated in a list with an item condition, description of the item and a value attached to each item. Include photographs of donated goods too, if possible. In addition to assisting you in remembering exactly what you donated, this will further act as proof to the IRS. Organizations such as Goodwill and Salvation Army have itemized lists available online to assist taxpayers in valuing commonly donated goods. Also, hang on to any donation receipts you obtain from charitable organizations to accompany your itemized valuation list.
Aside from being required by the IRS, taxpayers may find that by maintaining an itemized, value-assigned list that their donated items are worth more than they initially guessed. Do not guess, though, as the IRS requires a documented, itemized list.
If your claimed value exceeds $500, the Internal Revenue Service requires Form 8283 to be filed. If a taxpayer claims a non-cash donation of over $5,000, a qualified appraisal of the donation is also required.
To assist in filing tax year 2018 forms, include your itemized list when providing our firm with your tax documents. Our firm will not create fictitious values to assign with your non-cash donation forms. Meet with Tom if you have any further questions about charitable donations.

When I was watching Jack the other day, he said he wanted to play a game. I asked him what game, and he said, "Scrabble."
First I was really confused. "Scrabble?"
"Yeah, animal Scrabble."
I was wondering why he wanted to play Scrabble (and I knew he wouldn't be like, really playing it, but still), and wondering what "animal" Scrabble was. I asked him where it was, he directed me to the closet and pointed to the box.
Animal Scramble. That made much more sense.
I think my favorite part of yesterday was when he asked for a drink after snack. He said he wanted milk or orange juice, which I was pretty sure would be okay, but wasn't positive. I said, "How about water?" And he gave me a funny look and said, "How about not water?"
I love that kid. :)
I'm currently working on my hair school application. I'm supposed to write a letter of intent. I'm not entirely sure what that's supposed to be about. "I intend to go to your school." Then what? I don't know if this is supposed to be like, what I plan to do after, or if I'm supposed to talk myself up in it, or if I'm supposed to suck up in it.
I think it's going to end up being kind of a personal mission statement thing, what I plan to do after. We'll see.
Oh yeah, the Higher One guy hasn't called. He said he would on Monday or Tuesday. :/
I've started knitting this (the one in the bottom right corner, because that's what the pattern is for, although I really like the green one above it). I'm excited to see how it turns out. I guess I'm pretending that when I get to hair school I'll be all stylish. With my hat. It's a dream, don't judge.
I'm also looking at my options for jobs. It would be great to do reception in a salon before I get to hair school, and it might be a job I could keep once I start. But I'm also thinking that once I start, I'm going to be wanting all the breaks I can get. Classes are from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm Tuesday thru Saturday. That's right, Saturday. Sunday and Monday will be my weekend. I'd rather not work on Sundays, which leaves only Monday to work. I don't know if I'll be able to hold a job for one day a week. Unless I work after classes. Which at this point, sounds not fun at all. We'll see how things go, I guess.

Define: Unbelievable
Remember that $117 purchase at a Korean website on my debit card?
My dispute was denied.
I couldn't believe it.
"Thank you for contacting Customer Service. We have been working to win your dispute case and have received documentation (known as re-presentment documents) from the merchant involved in the transaction. Unfortunately the information that they supplied substantiates their assertion that the charge was valid...
...Based on the information supplied by the merchant as well as the other available facts, we must deny your dispute. We had initially supplied a provisional credit for the transaction pending the full investigation. At this time, we have debited your OneAccount for the amount that was originally credited and consider the claim a closed item."
I want to know what the other "available facts" were. Because the fact is, I didn't do it. I was at camp (family camp, actually) and I don't speak Korean.
Oh, it also said, "We regret that this was the outcome of you case." At least make sure that the crushing e-mail is typo free, geez.
My first reaction was to cry (as it usually is). I couldn't believe it had been denied. All that the documents have on them is my card number and my name. It's not my e-mail, it's not my phone number, and it's a company that try as I might, I have not been able to find to be in existence. What about that substantiates the assertion that the charge was valid? It was obviously going to have my name and card number on it, duh. But that's all there is. There is absolutely NOTHING there "proving" that it was me. And it wasn't me.
My aunt walked by while I was still
crying looking through the information, and dialed the number for customer service and handed me the phone. She told me that they probably bank (pardon the pun) on college kids getting their claims denied, crying and giving up. Which, honestly, I probably would have done if she hadn't been here. She works at the Washtenaw County Police Department, and said we could file a police report for stolen identity or something and send it in.
The customer service lady I talked to was really nice (not super helpful, but nice). There wasn't much I could do right then, since the report hadn't actually been filed, and she said I needed to fax it in. I ended up tweeting about it, and thank goodness for Melanie and Kevin. My debit card was issued through Spring Arbor, and Kevin's dad does work with that. I called him, and he was able to connect me with someone a little higher up, who said he would look into it. He couldn't understand why the claim had been denied either. He's supposed to be giving me a call Monday or Tuesday. He did say that he wasn't promising to get the money back - it could be that once a dispute is denied, it's denied and there's nothing you can do, which is really really discouraging. If I can't get the money back, I at least want to know why it was denied. There's no evidence. And also, I didn't do it.
Jamin's mom also offered to help - she works at an attorney's office, and she said that if she wrote up a letter, her boss would probably be able to sign it for her. Maybe if they see that there's a possibility of legal action, they'll change their minds.
It's just been a really frustrating process. And it's sort of upsetting to lose that much money.
We'll see where it goes. :/

Family Camp Music Guy
I know what I forgot from this summer: the music guy from family camp.
I ended up playing with him a few times, since Wellspring wasn't at camp yet. He didn't have a band put together like, four days before family camp started, so two counselors and myself were going to help him out.
Now, I know that I always think people don't like me. But I didn't go into this thinking that he didn't like me right off the bat. But after a "Koz, if we play Kelly Clarkson I'm totally playing the drums" joke, things were weird. No, actually, they were weird when he realized that I was the one playing guitar instead of Jamin. Which probably would have worked out better all around.
I felt like he kind of ignored me during practice, but again, I'm a little paranoid about things like that. I knew that he wasn't impressed with my skills (or lack of, I guess), but I didn't tell him I was awesome, and I'm pretty sure Kyle didn't either.
The best part came during the Sunday morning service when he said something about being able to hear the praise in the music. "You can hear the praise in the bass, and the drums, and I hope that you can hear it in the keys (which is what he was playing)! And...and I hope you can hear it in all the other instruments too."
Let's review the band:
Nate - bass
Koz - drums
Guy - keys and vocals
Me - guitar
Praise in bass: check.
Praise in drums: check.
Praise in keys: check.
Praise in "all the other instruments": afterthought.
It wasn't horrible. It was just...frustrating, I guess.
But it's kind of funny to think about now. Which is a lot better than still being embarrassing.

Catching Up
I've already forgotten a lot of the things I wanted to write about from last week, I'm sure. But I'll share the things I do remember.
I had a great week with a fantastic group of girls. I was a little nervous going in, knowing I had 10 girls (I hate having a cot in the room, and it was so nice to not have a top bunk over my bed!). Thinking about shower schedules in big rooms make me nervous. I'm always afraid that everyone will want to take a shower in the morning and I'll have to start waking them up at 5:00 to get them all finished up. But despite all that, I had a really really great week. My girls were so, so awesome. I got to practice french braiding, and we played a new version of Mafia. Becca's room had played a lot the week before, and she was a little sick of the death theme, so we changed things up a little. We eventually came up with...well, I forgot what we decided to name it, actually. So I told my girls it was called Danger Island. I asked Becca later and I think she said Danger in the Tropics. But I can't remember for sure. Anyway, it's pretty much the same as Mafia, except it's set on an undiscovered primitive island. The Mafia becomes the Spy who is kidnapping the tribes-people and selling them to the circus. The Nurse is the Tribe Leader, who chooses someone to protect. The Sheriff is an agent from the CIA, and is trying to discover who is the Spy. It was pretty intense, and so much fun.
There was a girl in my beach bums class who was
the most hypochondriac person I've ever met a little nervous about health issues. She asked me if people had to take a test to see if they had any diseases before they could swim in the lake. A few days later she had put on too much sunscreen and couldn't get it all rubbed in. After a few minutes it had been absorbed (as sunscreen does), and she kept asking me if it was supposed to do that, if it was bad for her, if something bad would happen. During a game she came up to me waggling her finger in my face, telling me she thought it was broken. She wasn't a bad kid at all, just a little overly concerned. About everything. Her counselor said that she thought she was going deaf because someone yelled in her ear and wouldn't stop crying about it for like two hours.
Another girl at camp was...well, she was difficult. At one point during a game, she ran up to a counselor near me, crying, telling him that a boy had just kicked her. The boy said she'd kicked him first. I didn't see her kick him, but I knew the boy, and I knew the girl, and I'm sure she did kick him. The other counselor told the boy not to kick people, and as soon as his back was turned, the girl stopped crying, looked over her shoulder and "Ha!"-ed at the boy. I didn't even know what to say.
Oh yes, I almost forgot about the cougher. I had a girl in my room who on the first night, coughed for probably an hour and a half. Which kept me awake. It was pretty frustrating. The next night, she coughed for another hour. I thought I was going to lose it. She is such a sweet, sweet girl, but I could not handle the coughing and throat clearing while I was trying to sleep. I'm a person who likes it quiet. And it was keeping other girls awake as well. Tuesday night the fabulous nurses had her do a treatment from her nebulizer (I think?), and that solved the problem. It was glorious.
I'm sad that camp is over. It's nice to get a little more sleep, but I already miss the people.
Friday afternoon, Becca, Nate and I made some candles for Jon and Lauren's wedding. We used shells from the beach in them, since Jon worked at camp. They weren't awesome, but we tried. That's what counts, right? I mean, they could have been worse. I should have taken pictures. Oh well. We know for next time that you need to save a little wax, cause when they cool off they get little "wells" in the middle. Whoops.
Saturday was the wedding, and it was great. Not so great was the blister that my new shoes gave me. Somehow, it happened before we even got to the wedding. Like, during the car ride to the wedding. Which is bizarre, but true. I so so so hope that they just need to be broken in.
Yesterday I went through all my clothes and got rid of some more stuff. It felt awesome. Then I went through other stuff and got rid of some of that too. It was a productive day.
Oh! Then Daniel made tomato soup. I helped. It was delicious. Even though it was super hot outside.
Now I've gotta find something to do for the rest of the day. I had a dream last night that I mowed the lawn. Maybe I'll go do that. But probably not.

Favorite Quote: "Girls who think boobs are their most distracting assets haven't been watched by a vampire."
Secret's best friend, Mercedes, has the perfect man for her. Secret's life doesn't lend itself to many possible romantic interests so she decides to accept the latest blind date offering. When Secret meets her blind date, the luscious Detective Tyler Nowakowski, she decides that perhaps the Gods are finally smiling down on her. But Secret should know by now that her life is far from easy so when her handler, Holden, shows up with a job from the Tribunial, Secret does her best to keep her date and her life.

My role brings me into contact with many people from different parts of the world who are striving to attain the next step in their career. This may mean getting on to a PhD program at Leicester, elsewhere in the UK or somewhere overseas; It may mean moving on to a "post-doc" or "early career position"; It may mean moving on to the next stage of a research or academic career; it may mean moving out of the world of academia/research to work in a different sector; it may mean moving on within one's sector; it may mean changing sectors etc… You get the idea.
The commonality I see across all of these contexts is that within this process people seek to present what they believe to be their 'best' self, or perhaps I should say their most appropriate self. They present that self which they believe is what the employer wants to see. How close is this 'best' self to their authentic self? Who knows? However, it is worth considering the factors which mediate the closeness of this 'best' to the candidate's authentic self.
Is it the self that the profession wants? Whatever that means. Often I hear people speak about being 'professional'. I am never quite sure if this means being the best they can be, in a professional context or if it is living up to some 'ideal', the shape of which may well be unclear. Is there a gap between the true self and the 'professional' self? If no, not a problem. If such a gap exists, how wide can it be and what might it look like. Most importantly, how incongruous do the professional self and the true self have to be before the person begins to feel unwell?
Is it the self the employing organisation wants? Employee-organisation fit is important. However, it appears that on occasion fitting in with the organisation norms supersedes both the true self and professional expectations. Success appears to stem from 'networking' taken to an extreme, where knowledge, skills and abilities are secondary to 'having coffee with the right people'.
So, for any young professional the question may appear to be: 'how do I mix my professional standards and effective networking?". However, the appropriate question may be: 'how far am I prepared to drift from my authentic self?"

Your credit standing can have an effect on your ability to borrow cash using products comparable to credit cards, loans and mortgages. I consider that 2 states have already passed laws prohibiting the observe of credit score checks for employment and 16 other states are in the process of revising this apply. Millennials are particularly hit onerous on the subject of credit scores, since a recent survey found that more than six in 10 folks between 18 and 29 have no credit cards in any respect. One out of four People have needed to undergo an employer credit score check, and one out of 10 are denied work due to a low credit score score. These folks could also be willing to co-signal Federal Housing Administration guidelines allow for a co-signer on loans.
Most lenders who provide automotive loans for unemployed with bad credit score often supply two kinds of loans, secured auto mortgage which will require the borrower to place something as collateral and unsecured car loan that does not require any collateral. Keep in mind that bank cards are meant for normal, small purchases and surprising bills, for example, utility and medical payments, auto insurance coverage, plumbing and electrical problems, car repairs, and others. When you do not, you might want to take a look at among the different sorts of loans which might be on the market.
If you are turned down for a job due to credit score issues, the employer has to offer you a replica of the report and clarify your rights beneath the Truthful Credit score Reporting Act. Getting it by way of the fraud dept is best although, because the credit score will stay until the conclusion of the investigation… at which era it just adjustments to a daily credit.
Right this moment, student loans are made immediately via the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program Direct loans provide some of the frequent funding sources for school students, partly because they are issued without credit checks. Properties and assets registered underneath your name needn't be pledged in order to get a licensed cash loan, though you may nonetheless choose to do if your corporation profile isn't established yet, you want more money or to get a decrease charges on the borrowed money since giant money loans are concerned right here. Below are our favourite playing cards for poor credit offered by our credit card companions.
Nonetheless, the excellent news is that you could scale back the rate by always paying on time and remaining within your credit score limit. Once my funds have been reflected in my credit report, banks and credit card issuers started emailing me asking me if I wished to get a credit card. When you open a secured card, you put down a deposit and the lender offers you a line of credit.

RHONY Season 7 Wrap-Up
Glenn Rowley
Season 7 of RHONY has come to an end. From the Battle of the Brunches and Atlantic City to girl code and the Turks and Caicos, it was a season full of drama, catfights and an unprecedented dose of girl power among the New York 'Wives. It truly was a season to remember, reigniting the franchise and catapulting RHONY back to the level of must-see TV. Below I break down what made the season so fantastic, what could change for Season 8 and where the season ranks in the history of RHONY.
- The perfect cast: In the beginning of the season, many questioned how well the cast would work with eight full-time Housewives, a previously unheard-of number. However, the decision just worked - there was a natural ebb and flow among the storylines, each woman had her moment in the spotlight and every Housewife was an integral part of the season's success. In addition, the mix of personalities this year was really great. The women clicked because of their similarities and clashed because of their differences, but no one was a toxic cloud on the proceedings like Aviva had been the previous year. Moral of the story: Trust Andy Cohen when he says eight Housewives will work.
- The return of the B: No single moment in the Housewives franchise caused more hype this year than the return of Bethenny Frankel. Sure, she needed some time to get her sea legs back under her at the beginning of the season, and there were enough tears to warrant a Bethenny crying montage at the reunion, but her return delivered on its promise to put the spark back in the franchise. After three years away from Bravo, fans saw a completely new version of Bethenny, who arguably became the most successful Housewives alum of all time. However, also coming off the cancellation of her eponymous talk show and still in the midst of an ugly divorce from her ex, Bethenny came to the season with plenty of baggage to work through while inserting herself back into this group of ladies. Watching Bethenny navigate conflicts and put out fires with Heather and Kristen, newer 'Wives who had taken the reins in her absence, was endlessly entertaining to watch. Get off my jock!
- Personal storylines: Yes we had the fights and feuds we've come to love on the Housewives, but among the arguing, we watched the women go through very real and raw life experiences. Carole and Dorinda's widows' trip to London to retrieve the ashes of Carole's late husband was a powerful bonding moment for the two and one of the highlights of the season. We also watched a new and improved Ramona navigate through her separation from Mario and Bethenny confront her childhood by meeting her stepfather in Miami for the first time in decades. The long overdue conversation finally allowed the Skinnygirl to begin to find healing from her abusive, chaotic childhood.
- Girl power: Much has been made this season of the concept of girl code, mostly by Luann for obviously self-interested reasons, but the heart of the season was really all about girl power. As Bethenny pointed out at the reunion, this season felt different from the last time she was on the show because the drama wasn't dark, nasty or ugly. Yes, the women fought and argued over Adam the hot chef, being know-it-alls and the appropriate time to use the F-word, but at the end of the day they really, truly liked each other. This cast-wide camaraderie was something viewers had literally never seen before on any season of any city in the franchise, and it was honestly refreshing to see a group of Housewives who could all go out to dinner together after filming a contentious, dramatic reunion. Long live RHONY girl power!
- Cast shake-ups: Every season, the rotating door of Housewives inevitably changes a bit, so as perfect as Season 7's cast was, it won't stay the same for Season 8. If I had it my way, I'd keep the cast the exact same - even with 23 episodes, the season still felt like it ended too soon. That's how much I like watching this group of women. However, Heather Thomson already announced this week that she won't be returning next year and there's a possibility that one or two 'Wives may be let go or demoted to Friend of status.
- The problem with Lady Morgan: How do you solve a problem like Sonja? Amidst a close-to-perfect season, Sonja's smoke and mirrors show remained the one dark spot. Whether she was getting plastered in Atlantic City, having an angry meltdown in the Turks and Caicos or defending her "international fashion lifestyle brand" to the other ladies, Sonja's storyline remained frustrating. It just gets to a point where it's not entertaining to watch anymore, and I feel like that point is way past due. I don't want to read one more defensive blog about how the women don't believe in her or see one more scene where she is sloppily showing off her vagina in a state of intoxication. It's not a good look, and her delusions run so deep that I don't know what can be done at this point. Yes, the season ended on a high for Sonja - she managed to pull off her fashion show and finally dug herself out of the financial hole she'd been in since her introduction to the series. I think now is as good a time as any to put Sonja out to pasture: her story has had a beginning and a middle, and ended on a decently high note. Judging by the fact that she found herself on the end of the couch at the reunion, it makes sense to either demote her next year to a Friend of the Housewives or let her go completely. I honestly can't watch any more of the smoky eye, up-do, Gstaad circus.
- Kristen in the spotlight: I would say Kristen Taekman had a good season. Her storyline this year focused on launching her nail polish line Pop of Color, her fashion blog Last Night's Look and also included her charity work with SmileTrain. However, her life since the show finished airing has been all shook up, and not in an Elvis way. Following the Ashley Madison hack, it was discovered that Kristen's husband Josh had an account on the social network designed for facilitating affairs and suddenly RHONY's resident pretty girl found herself in the middle of a headline-making scandal. While she hasn't directly addressed the news besides thanking her fans for their support on Twitter, Ramona and Sonja have both given statements to the press about the situation and reports have swirled in the media that Kristen will be asked back next year because of the scandal. If she comes back for Season 8, we should expect her marriage and the fallout from the Ashley Madison news to be a major part of her storyline.
1. Season 7: I'm just going to say it. This was the best season RHONY has ever had. I may be biased because it just ended, but I honestly loved every minute of it. Perfect cast + perfect amounts of drama, laughter and human moments. Do you agree?
2. Season 3: The popularity of Season 3 is an undisputed fact among Housewives fans. The Jill vs. Bethenny feud ushered in a new era for the franchise in terms of narrative storytelling and remains one of the all-time high marks in Housewives history. Plus, Scary Island and Kelly's jellybean meltdown as well as Sonja's introduction to the show back when she was "classy not trashy."
3. Season 4: The loss of Bethenny was a blow, but the women kept the momentum going in the war between the blondes and the brunettes. Morocco, the march for marriage equality, Alex McCord's Herman Munster shoes - this season was full of great moments and memorable one-liners. However, the season also got too nasty for fans, prompting the network to fire half the cast after a particularly dark reunion. Ya habibi, baby!
4. Season 5: Season 5 was a hard reset for the show that introduced fans to Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson and Avivia Drescher. With half the cast being replaced, it took a while for the women to gel, but Aviva's "white trash" meltdown on Slutty Island goes down as one of the most memorable Housewives vacation moments in history. Plus, this is the season that gave us Sonja's non-existent toaster oven and Luann's tryst with the pirate in St. Barths.
5. Season 2: In hindsight, the early seasons look quaint in comparison to what Housewives has become, but we did get Kelly's epic "I'm up here and you're down here" feud with Bethenny this season as well as better days in the friendship of Jill and Bethenny.
6. Season 6: I liked the sixth season when it was airing, but after some time away, it just doesn't stack up against many of the other seasons. Kristen was a great addition to the cast, but Aviva proved to be one of the least-effective villains in Housewives history by refusing to go on any of the season's trips and being cut out of the opening credits entirely in half a dozen episodes. Plus, the leg throw in the season finale was so over-hyped and felt too premeditated on Aviva's part to have any authentic impact. I did love BookGate, however. Note to self: don't mess with Writer Girl about her career.
7. Season 1: The debut season is at the bottom of the pack solely because it feels like a prototype compared to all the subsequent seasons we've been given. However, there's definitely something about the original five 'Wives that brings back a flood of nostalgia for simpler times.

Hurricanes likely to be quiet at NHL trade deadline, and that's fine
It's pretty clear at this point that big moves aren't Ron Francis' style. At this particular trade deadline, at this particular juncture for the Carolina Hurricanes, that's actually the right approach for the general manager to take.
This team hasn't proven itself competitive enough to be worth overpaying for a rental player by Monday's trade deadline – if there's even one out there that's a fit and worth the price – and it doesn't have any expiring contracts that figure to be worth much to actual contenders. So maybe flip impending free agents Derek Ryan or Lee Stempniak for a late draft pick if you can, if there's any interest, but no move is likely to be the right move for the Hurricanes.
That's going to be frustrating to fans who clamor for a goalscorer or a center. The Hurricanes definitely need help in those areas, but this isn't likely to be the right time to make that move, barring a feat of unprecedented creativity from Francis. The deadline is a time for tweaks, for short-term moves, when demand far outpaces the supply of quality players. Big moves, long-term moves, are best saved for the offseason, when the salary cap isn't a pressing issue for trade partners and teams are less concerned about tinkering with established chemistry and more concerned about shaking things up, especially teams unhappy with their postseason performance.
It's the offseason inaction that makes the Hurricanes' incremental progress in Year 4 under Francis so frustrating – the Hurricanes are four points ahead of where they were last year through 60 games – but the limited inventory and inflated prices at the trade deadline typically make this the wrong time for corrective action.
That's certainly true of the Hurricanes, who are on the outside of the playoff race looking in and have fallen back quickly each time they have clawed their way into the wild-card picture. For a general manager looking at the bigger picture, as Francis has, that's anything but a sure thing, hardly worth mortgaging even a tiny part of the future. There may be a point where Francis goes to new owner Thomas Dundon with a big proposal, but this isn't likely to be it – and given the prices typically paid around the deadline, probably shouldn't be it, although anything's possible.
The Hurricanes can still make the playoffs, even if their recent skid against division opponents has made it significantly tougher than it looked a week ago, with another division game coming up Friday night when the Hurricanes host the Pittsburgh Penguins at PNC Arena. But whatever its chances are, this group is most likely going to have to do it without reinforcements – same as when Hurricanes coach Bill Peters all but demanded call-ups from the AHL earlier this month and wasn't given any.
Peters was clearly resigned to that reality Thursday, but didn't seem unsatisfied with it, either.
With our group, the way it currently is, we can get in. If there's some additions to it, then that'll help. But if it's the group that's out there today at practice, that'll be good, too.
Carolina Hurricanes coach Bill Peters
"With our group, the way it currently is, we can get in," Peters said. "If there's some additions to it, then that'll help. But if it's the group that's out there today at practice, that'll be good, too."
The deadline is always a nervous time for players and an exciting one for fans. Hurricanes fans in particular are desperate for any kind of movement, which is going to fill the run-up to Monday with anticipation even if they should be prepared for disappointment at 3 p.m. The time for bigger moves is coming, but it's still a few months away, whether the Hurricanes make the playoffs this season or not.

When a civil judicial enforcement action record is created in ICIS the first milestone is the date a referral is made to DOJ. If the referral to DOJ is returned to the Region or withdrawn by the Region because in some cases the Region decides instead to pursue the action administratively, the original enforcement action in ICIS must be closed. An enforcement action conclusion should NOT be entered into ICIS. Rather, a date should be entered for the milestone "Closed." If the action is settled administratively, then a new administrative enforcement action can be opened and the results of the conclusion should be captured. The original judicial referral should not be flagged "Combined with Another Case." Nothing was combined-the judicial action simply never went forward.

Collins and his better half were halted at a light when the shooter, who wore a hoodie, pulled down to darken his face, began shooting through the driver's side window, said his legal advisor, John Stella.
"He looked to one side. He saw that the person had a weapon and was going to discharge, and he began heading out," Stella said.

Now that you have your web blog ready and up and operating, you need to acquire people to find out about your site! This is when the advertising promotion of your site also comes in. This is the key and most important part of having your own website.

Howdy ... this might be a stoopit question, but are all those limericks in Mark Cowan's book? I couldn't see examples in the snippets available, but as a collector of limerick books, they are my primary interest.
Meanwhile, here's one of mine:
Spare a thought for the bear that is polar --
put the brakes on the carbon steamroller!
Having power is sure nice,
But we're melting his ice!
Can't we harvest a little more solar?
Thanks and best regards,
Doug Harris

Nothing Barren About the Pine Barrens
Where is the Massachusetts Coastal Pine Barrens?
If you're visiting us in Plymouth County chances are you're standing in it.
Whether you are sailing, swimming, hiking, biking or birding during your visit, you are most likely enjoying yourself in the Pine Barrens.
Sand is the common denominator: There's more of it in the woods than on the beach.
Rare plants and species abound here, from the Pine Barrens Moth, to the Red Bellied Cooter, to the Plymouth Gentian and the New England Boneset.
Just as rare are the communities on which these species depend: 48 natural communities including coastal plain ponds, sand plain grasslands and pitch pine/scrub oak forests – a fire-dependent community.
This is the second largest coastal pine barrens in the world!
We could say so much more. Instead, we'll just say, welcome.

Heinz Ketchup Banned! Here is Why You Should Avoid It (Video)
Ketchup is used as a dressing sauce all around the world. It is a based product in pizza, hot dogs, eggs, burgers, and all the other fast food.
Did you know that one of the biggest ketchup brands is banned in some countries? Heinz Ketchup doesn't have enough tomatoes in his composition, so it can't be even classified as a ketchup. For this reason it is banned from calling itself ketchup in Israel.
In addition you can find five reasons why you should avoid ketchup from this brand:
1. It contains a lot of sugar. In every 100 grams of Heinz Ketchup, there is 23.6 grams of sugar.
2. In his composition it is found high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient which is linked to obesity, heart attacks and cancer.
3. It is well known that sodium is bad for our organism. Heinz Ketchup contains a lot – 190 milligrams of sodium per tablespoon.
4. Heinz doesn't use distilled vinegar in their ketchup, rather a modified form of corn, according to a lawsuit filed in 2014.
5. The corn they use has a high probability of being genetically modified. Non-GMO people should stay away from using this product!

We would like a report of all the Virtual Servers (inclusing Name, IP and Port, for all of our F5s. The built in "List of Virtual Servers" is a great start, however we would like it for all the F5s and in a format where we can export it to excel. Neither of those options are available with the built in report.
Is there a way to look at the SWIS syntax that the built-in report is using?
Our goal is to automate a report that lists all of the F5 virtual servers so we can ensure that we have SSL certificate date check monitoring enabled.

Every year, Pantone releases popular colors for each season. This fall, it has highlighted the following colors as the most popular:
PANTONE 17-1558 Grenadine: A powerful, evocative, dynamic red, Grenadine is a confident and self-assured attention-getter.
PANTONE 19-1725 Tawny Port: Taking the red family to new depths, Tawny Port is elegant, sophisticated, and tasteful.
PANTONE 13-2808 Ballet Slipper: Descended from the red family but with a softer touch, Ballet Slipper is always flattering and reminiscent of the rosy glow of health.
PANTONE 16-1341 Butterum: This snug, warming, and toasty shade is evocative of drinking a glass of Butterrum by a roaring fire on a cool autumn evening.
PANTONE 19-4029 Navy Peony: A mainstay for the season for both palettes, Navy Peony is a dependable and an anchoring shade. Solid and stable, the hue takes some of the load off of black as a go-to neutral.
PANTONE 17-4402 Neutral Gray: The standard bearer of all neutrals, Neutral Gray shares the anchoring role with Navy Peony in this palette. It can be used as an accent or a head-to-toe statement shade.
PANTONE 19-4524 Shaded Spruce: This is a green you might see in the forest—sheltering and protective as evergreen trees.
PANTONE 16-0543 Golden Lime: Earthy tones with a twist, the golden undertones of Golden Lime make this yellow-green shade a refreshing complement to fall classics.
PANTONE 17-4041 Marina: Cool with an enhanced vitality, Marina is the only truly cool color in the fall palette that brings with it freshness and brightness.
PANTONE 17-1145 Autumn Maple: A quintessential autumn color, Autumn Maple is tawny and russet, introducing warmth into the palette.

I am literally only a minute or two from finishing reading this book. Unusually, I don't have that feeling that I often get when I finish a book, where I am deeply sad that it is over and I have to leave that world, only to return to reality. That's not to say that I didn't like it. Rather, everything was so perfectly resolved that I don't have to know anything more! I'm not aching for it to continue. I'm content.
Quite simply, this is a beautiful story. The setting in seaside Cornwall, and the occasional reference to childish fairy tales and magic is lovely and relaxing. It's an easy and immersive read.
In a nutshell: a child goes missing from a rich family in Cornwall in 1933. They never find him. In 2003, a Detective Sadie Sparrow (why does that name seem a bit corny?) comes across the old abandoned house while on enforced leave, after getting into some trouble with her own case. So, she picks up the case of the missing Edevane child, whose older sister is still alive and writing detective novels…
The clever thing about The Lake House is that there are several plots intertwined.
- We have the main plot, of missing Theo Edevane in Cornwall in 1933.
- The story of Sadie's case – the Bailey case – which got her into trouble.
- Sadie's own life story: she got pregnant young and adopted her daughter, and now the daughter is reaching out to her.
- Alice Edevane, detective writer and older sister of missing child Theo. She has her own theory about what happened to him, and is now living in London.
- Eleanor Edevane – mother of Theo, and her history and story of love, loss, sacrifice.
I like the structure of this novel, in that it is non-linear and jumps back and forth between 1933, 2003, and then back before 1933 when Eleanor was young. This style lends to its mystery nature, as it allows more important details to be uncovered as it progresses. We also see different points of view from the different characters, at different stages in their life, which justify their thoughts, actions and outcomes.
I've never read any mystery novels before, and while this has a healthy dose of romance, drama and historical fiction, I was loving the slow progression of the Edevane case. I found myself confident of one theory, only to have it disproved and a new suspect to pop up! Utterly enjoyable 🙂
I've always been a bit of a sucker for happy endings – and this is very much what we get here. However, as I mentioned at the beginning, this has left me feeling okay that the book has ended. I don't need any more. After nearly 600 pages, I guess fair enough. Kate Morton has just done a very good job of tying up all loose ends and making sure everyone is happy. Kind of. A few people die in a pretty sad way.
All in all, a good read, a bit simple, but lovely with a solid resolution.

Miya Folick's new EP, 'Give It To Me' is an electrifying and bold instalment into the LA-born's catalogue. From the head-banging opener, 'Trouble Adjusting' to the gentle cover of Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock' – Folick's crafted a collection of songs that are both soaring and gut-wrenchingly honest.
We spoke to Folick about meeting her band on Tinder, the EP and vomiting extras.
I heard you but your band together through Tinder…
That is true. I wasn't really a part of the LA music scene at the time and I wasn't on Tinder but a friend of mine was. She would show me the people she matched with and they were always artists and musicians – so I thought I should make a profile that says I'm looking for a band. Lucky my bass player saw it and he reached out to me on Instagram – because we didn't match on Tinder. It's a very 21st century band meeting.
Was releasing these songs as an EP always the plan?
I've been writing these songs for probably a year and a half, but it wasn't really deliberately for an EP. I just wanted new material to play live – and we've been performing a lot of that material for a while and they just don't stylistically work for the album I'm working on. They were songs I didn't want to disappear. I like that it works out that way – it feels like a nice collection of memories for us now.
Give It To Me
Give It To Me, an album by Miya Folick on Spotify
Why did they not feel like they belong on the album?
You'll understand immediately when you hear the album why. I didn't want to make an album that was just a collection of songs – but is purposeful and intense. It didn't make sense to try and fit in things just because I had them.
The song 'Give It To Me' is the bold centre-piece – what's it about?
It's one of those songs that just have some kind of magic. The song is not specific enough so that it relatable in a lot of different situations – I don't really like to talk about what it specifically means because it doesn't really matter. Plus it always changes for me. I don't remember what I was talking about when I wrote it – I have no idea. Every time it means something new.
You filmed this video on a rollercoaster. Why?
Rollercoasters are fucking delightful. But the process was really fun and actually pretty easy. I ended up quite bruised by the end of the day. I had to perform it 2 and a half time the speed because it was shot in slow motion. It was so fast that I couldn't really think – so came up with these really spontaneous reactions. One of the extras puked after riding it – but he was a champ, he soldiered through. I would have 100% left after that.
'Give It To Me' EP is out now

sentence in a personal narrative essay: I typically eat olives in the afternoon and dislike Peter Pan. Call upon descriptive words or phrases (you might find these descriptive examples online) that spark emotional response to make the reader feel as if they are a part of the story. Personal narrative essays come in all shapes and sizes, but what they have in common is that they should be about you.
Sometimes, a great story cant be told without dialogue. Let me give you some examples. What did you smell, etc. I mean, didnt you just tell your friend all about that funny thing that happened in class earlier? Finally, you can buy a unique and high quality paper inexpensively and at one of the best websites. And they start searching who can help me write an essay. It may be helpful to have someone else read over your piece for you to provide a fresh view before the final product is delivered.

Why Is It So Hard To Find Alternatives For Plastic Straws?
1st November 2017
We would really like to stop stocking plastic straws, but we do need to offer customers an alternative. We just need long straws in clear (or white) and black, and black sip straws. Paper alternatives all seem to be striped and we have added a few of those but they don't suit every event. The black and white stripe ones we've added are a great look but we can only find them in one size. Bio-degradable straws come in green. We have tracked down a black paper alternative but they are 10 times – yes, 10 times – the price of plastic. We were prepared for a price hike and hoped to persuade customers the environmental benefits are worth it, but at 10x the price, we're not confident we'd win that argument. The price differential in paper vs. plastic plates is 2-3 times, so what is it with straws?
So, come on someone. Manufacture some recyclable / compostable straws that won't choke turtles at a price that won't choke consumers.

Next Tuesday evening, August 15, is a vital one for activism in our area. The Conejo Valley Unified School District board of trustees will hold its first meeting of the new school year that evening ... and its agenda is expected to (finally!) include a vote on approving the use of Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" for the high school English curriculum. Many of you know what a contentious issue this has been over the last two months -- and you have seen board president Mike Dunn behave with an appalling lack of professionalism or rationality where curriculum materials are concerned. It's essential that we achieve a strong presence of First Amendment and education advocates at Tuesday's meeting -- including activists who are willing to speak. We'll keep you updated as the week progresses, the board's agenda is set, and our strategy develops. The public portion of the meeting is set for 6 p.m..

Bogor, W Java (Antaranews Babel) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) along with Prime Minister (PM) Li Keqiang planted a sapling of camphor, or "Dryobalanops lanceolata," in the backyard of the Bogor Presidential Palace.
The Indonesian head of state and head of the government of China planted a camphor sapling on Monday as a sign of growing friendship between the two countries.
After a state welcome ceremony, Jokowi and Li then headed to the backyard of the Bogor Presidential Palace through the verandah of the palace.
They then walked to the park in the palace and planted a camphor sapling.
The leaders then watered the sapling with a green bucket. After planting the sapling with a few ground hoes and watering it using a water scoop, Jokowi invited Li to wash his hands.
However, as the bucket was half-filled with water, PM Li invited President Jokowi to pour it on the plant.
PM Li held up the green bucket, assisted by President Jokowi, and then poured the water together while laughing.
After watering the sapling, they shook hands and smiled for the media.
Furthermore, President Jokowi and PM Li held a bilateral meeting with the delegation and representatives of the Indonesian government in a room.
According to the Center of Plant Conservation Bogor Botanical Garden data, camphor is a type of plant belonging to the Dipterocarpaceae family.
The wood, having a strong class II-(I) and durable class III, can be utilized to make boats and roof construction poles of houses.
Camphor wood also has other economic value, as the camphor and its sap can be used for medical and cosmetic purposes.
This rare plant is usually found on the Sumatra and Borneo islands.
The planting of the sapling symbolizes the hope of both governments to make their relationship stronger and more mutually beneficial in various sectors of cooperation.
