Sorry for the delay here at the SeedFinder, but during the last months our developers have worn out several keyboards and designed a phenomenal shopping- and auction system especially for cannabis seeds! We like to introduce it to you, although the new project has nothing to do directly with the SeedFinder - but it is a cool and unique system - and also connected quite closely with our strain-database.
The most important first:
Of course the SeedFinder don't sell any cannabis-seeds! It is a completely external and independent Shopsytem, operated by well-known and popular Hemcy.at/Cannapot Webshop in Austria. We have produced only the code, do a little advertising here on the site and provide the interface for the strain-info!
To cut a long story short:
If you're looking for seed-rarities, for limited editions, coveted remnants or for cannabis varieties of small farmers - or if you yourself are a breeder, and if you are maybe like to sell or auction your own hybrids - then the new system might be interesting for you! All offers and prices here are made directly from the breeders themselves, but all the the (worldwide) shipping and handling of payments carried from a single source - with the usual excellent service from Hemcy.at/Cannapot!
Allright, here we go:
-> MyCannapot - Cannabis Seed-Auctions and Shop
The whole order and auction system was created and customized by us extra for cannabis seeds, and of course with a special emphasis on safety and anonymity! But please remember, the shop is still in a beta phase - you are one of the first visitors ;-) So it might not look that great yet - but it works - and it will expanded and tuned step by step over the time :)
P.S.: The choice may seem a little sparse at the moment, but that will change soon! Until then, there are already various specialties from Alpine-Seeds and Earth-Seeds ready to bid or buy, some more stuff is onto the way! Well - check it out - and have fun with the new system! We hope you like it - and if you miss a function or if you have a question: let us know!

Helen Carroll first met Cindy Davies in 2005, when Carroll drove across the dusty plains of Texas to hear a tale of discrimination and heartache.
Davies had played basketball at Penn State under coach Rene Portland in the early 1980s, until Portland's harassment regarding her sexual orientation drove her from the team. She was one of several targets of a coach openly biased against gay athletes. When Carroll met Davies years later, she saw a woman still devastated by the theft of her sports dreams.
"I felt I was talking to a person who didn't have much confidence, who was broken down,'' said Carroll, director of the sports project at the National Center for Lesbian Rights. "I think when the details of the Penn State case came out, people in the sports world were shocked at the extent of the effect on the athletes. But when I saw her Sunday, she was standing tall, walking with a confidence I couldn't believe.''
That's because Carroll, Jen Harris, and filmmakers Dee Mosbacher and Fawn Yacker helped give Davies and other Lady Lions a voice. When Harris was kicked off the team in 2005, she sought help from the NCLR, which filed charges against Penn State and shed new light on homophobia in women's sports. Mosbacher and Yacker tell the stories of Harris, Davies and other athletes in their new documentary film "Training Rules,'' which will be shown Wednesday at the Walker Art Center.
The film focuses on Harris' well-known case, which led to Portland's resignation in 2007. It also grants a forum to women who had no recourse when Portland harassed them and shoved them out of the program. Several featured athletes attended a screening Sunday at San Francisco's Castro Theatre, marking another step in a journey of personal healing and cultural awakening.
"One of them said, 'Finally, somebody listened to my story, and something is actually being done to make things better,'" Carroll said. "Jen had resources like the NCLR, which wasn't around when they were going through it.
"As the film says, this is just one case. I work with athletes almost every day, across the U.S., that this is happening to. We're making progress, but like sexism and racism, this is something that will require us to be ever vigilant.''
The problem of homophobia in women's sports springs from stereotypes about female athletes and the desire to create culturally acceptable images. Some coaches worry that having lesbians on their staff or roster will alienate boosters, make the program hard to sell to a wide audience and limit media coverage. Negative recruiting has flourished, as coaches try to sway recruits and their parents by suggesting other programs have gay coaches or players.
Carroll said some coaches and administrators simply feel lesbians are bad for women's sports -- a ridiculous idea to anyone who appreciates Billie Jean King, Sheryl Swoopes or Babe Didrikson Zaharias. But such powerful people as Portland have wielded their biases with impunity, even as universities began adding sexual orientation to their nondiscrimination policies.
By pulling back the curtain on Portland's policies -- the "training rules'' of the film's title are no drinking, no drugs and no lesbians -- Harris and the NCLR launched a long-overdue discussion. In addition to helping individual athletes, Carroll runs workshops to educate coaches and administrators on how to prevent homophobia from poisoning their programs.
Recently, she has found more coaches willing to tackle the issue, as well as parents who fiercely support daughters who have come out. The NCAA also has become proactive; it has co-sponsored a think tank with the NCLR on how to identify and eliminate negative recruiting, which Carroll views as a major component in propagating homophobia.
A former athletic director at Division III Mills College, Carroll views the Portland case as "the Title IX moment'' for lesbians in sport. Her work, and Mosbacher and Yacker's film, have kept momentum rolling toward a day when an athlete's sexual orientation isn't an issue.
"After the Penn State case, our workshops were standing room only,'' she said. "We've taken that first big step, where people are receptive to speaking about the issue and trying to find a solution. Now we have to continue to educate people, and when problems arise, take care of them -- instead of sweeping them under the rug.''

The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton
The town of Lake Woebegotton, MN is a small town, filled with ordinary (yet above average) people, leading ordinary lives. Ordinary, that is, until the dead start coming back to life, with the intent to feast upon the living! Now this small town of above average citizens must overcome their petty rivalries and hidden secrets in order to survive an onslaught of the dead.

Unexpectedly awesome
I was a little dubious about this title but eventually decided to go ahead and buy it and I am so pleased I did.
Phil Gigante is a delight to listen to as always and the story itself is a satirical tale of stoic Minnesotans facing a zombie uprising alongside the 'usual' real life issues of serial killers and homicidal women. I was entranced throughout.
If you are looking for a zombie novel with a side of dark humour then this should entertain you for a few hours.

So funny and entertaining!
This is the best book I've listened to so far in 2019.
Small town over run with zombies and the locals take it in their stride! First time I've ever came across an eighty year old serial killer. It's just so funny and it reminds me of 'Fargo' which is one of my all time favorite movies. I really hope the author has written more like this ! Highly recommended :)
'She slammed a pair of decaying noggings together....'. Ha ha ha ....so so funny and enjoyable.

Was there a story line?
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Have a story line...
What will your next listen be?
Wheel of time probably
What about Phil Gigante's performance did you like?
Just a great range of voices and he brings the story to life
Did The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton inspire you to do anything?
Any additional comments?
It started off fairly well but went down hill rapidly with no real purpose and no main character.

Some good parts, but average overall.
What did you like best about The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton? What did you like least?
I liked quite a few bits of the book, but hard to tell you which bits or what characters without giving away some of the plot.
I didn't like that some facts changed and some of the characters were so stupid it beggared belief. Cops that forget to read someone their rights and forget to search them etc. And a man who's age is eighty to begin with but is seventy later in the book.
I really hated the middle part of the book where the author put chapters in random order for no good reason that I could see. It was like he dropped the chapters on the floor and didn't bother to sort them out again. And so for the middle part of the book you jump forward and back in time and get stuff happening in an odd order. I didn't see the point in this and found it a little distracting. Others may find it fine, but I didn't.
What about Phil Gigante's performance did you like?
The narration is very good overall, though I did find the beginning a bit annoying where he seems to either not be using a wind-guard, or is to close to the microphone. This lead to hearing every single in breath he took, and listening to it on headphones it was very annoying. Fortunately it only lasted a chapter or two otherwise I'd have given up on it.
Was The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton worth the listening time?
Yes, I found it enjoyable overall, even if I found the characters a little dumb and annoying. Certainly most of the male characters seemed to be idiots, and some of them having mental issues that bordered on crazy town.
Any additional comments?
I think the biggest thing that stood out to me was that in a whole town of people where the dead are raising - including people that have died long before - that no-one thinks about one of the most obvious dangers to them. It was the first thing I thought of when they learnt the dead were raising, and yet only one person in the whole town did. Didn't feel this was believable.

Why is no one making a movie out of this?
...or at least a televised mini-series as a comedic companion piece to AMC's "The Walking Dead?"
This book is hilarious. And the people who will find it hilarious are those that find Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" hilarious and also enjoy the odd zombie story from time to time.
This is not for those looking for a gritty, gory, zombie apocalypse blood-fest, or for those who don't appreciate satire. The story is more about the people and the personalities in a small town than it is about zombies or survivors toiling in a post-apocalyptic world. Each character is distinct and well-drawn. They have secrets and quirky foibles that more often than not lead them to their doom.
But what makes the audiobook is Phil Gigante. The man is a genius. He's got Garrison Keillor's cadence and raspy-throated storytelling down perfectly.
Keillor fans should not feel insulted. You can tell, both Geillor and Gigante conduct their mimicry out of love and respect.
A very enjoyable audiobook. I've listened to it more than a few times, and it makes me smile every time.

It was worth the gamble!
I wasn't too sure at first of this book at first. I hadn't read any reviews, so I had no idea what I was in for... other than the zombies. I was pleasantly surprise. I haven't laughed out aloud at the antics in a book for a long time. It was definitely worth the token (and the late nights staying up to listen to it).

Kept me laughing the whole time
Anyone who is a fan of Garrison Keillor will get a huge kick out of this book. Unlike other recent parodies (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies springs to mind) this novel is more than a one-trick pony. In fact, the zombie part of the book is pretty straight on. Maybe it's because I am from the Midwest, but the characters in this book felt extremely real to me and the way they dealt with the zombie apocalypse seemed more realistic than in many other zombie/post apocalyptic novels I have read (and I have read quite a few). So the zombies are not the joke, it is the setting that is endlessly—and lovingly—lampooned.
It is evident that the author admires Keillor's Lake Wobegon stories; only someone who appreciates the sly wit and self-awareness of those yarns could have written such a spot-on imitation. The people of this tiny town in the middle of Minnesota react to the rise of the undead with a laconic "Well, that sure is somethin' ya don't see everyday" attitude that made me laugh out loud. Short asides examining everything from the nature of winter ("it wasn't as cold as the first time he went fishing with his father as a boy, the coldest winter on record hereabouts, when your ears would pretty much just turn to ice and snap right off") to how to make hot dish could have been taken from any of Keillor's stream-of consciousness Lake Wobegon radio stories. The characters, too, exhibited Keillor touches, like the kid who had taken a college course in zombie literature and kept trying to analyze the zombie mayhem around him (""It seems to me we're dealing with the classic George Romero Night of the Living Dead sort of zombies") and the Norwegian bachelor farmers. And like the object of his parody, the author understands that beneath the perfect façade of a perfect small town, there lurk enough nutcases to fill several novels.
Many times, I caught myself wondering if Keillor actually did write this book, that's how good it was. I must add that I listened to this book in its Brilliance Audio version, narrated by Phil Gigante. This actor does a really fantastic imitation of Garrison Keillor that added even more to my enjoyment of the piece. He does many different voices, too, so that each character really comes alive. I will definitely be listening to it again, on the next road trip my husband and I take to Minnesota.

Suprisingly Good Twisted Version of Lake Woebegone
Witty, twisted, funny and well read. I was hilariously suprised by this intelligently twisted humor spoof of a zombie invasion of Lake Woebegone. The story like a zombie infused twilight zone version of, 'A Prairie Home Companion' and kept me laughing. The narrator was very good at trying to master many different types of voices and characters, shining at a few and doing quite well with the rest. This audio book is a great treat!

Not bad
This book was ok - not like the guts n gore of the Actual Zombie APOCOLYPSE _
I thought there were some pretty funny parts in this - its story line is weak they author could have really played more into some of these characters - the book has a lot of potential to go deeper if there were a #2

If the Coen Brothers made a Zombie Movie...
Where does The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
Very High
What did you like best about this story?
This story is unique - its not your typical zombie apocalypse tale. The characters of the small town are the focus and their antics made me laugh out loud. The narrator is actually a character himself and his rambling story telling drew me in from the first few minutes. I love the language and I love the humor.
Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Who was the most memorable character of The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton and why?
There are so many! The elderly serial killer, the zealous Catholic priest from Texas, the drunk that lives on the edge of town and calls the zombies,
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for an action/horror story, this is not the one for you. If you liked books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and have a dry sense of humor, you will probably like this book.

Watch out for the zombdog!
What did you love best about The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton?
All of it. I'm a big Prairie Home Companion fan and the author did a great job of creating that PHC sense of reality. The reader was not Garrison Keillor, but he came close enough and did a stellar job with the multiple voices.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Zombies of Lake Woebegotton?
Zombie walleye. Zombie dogs. Oh, and zombie people. Not the metaphysical or philosophical zombies you might be used to in your Zombies As Metaphor class at the Lake Woebegotton Community College. But they're Lutherans, mostly, so dutiful and polite. Except for those "insufficiently dead husbands" that refuse to just lay down and die already. It's been reported by National Public Radio so it must be true. 'Nuff said. An aging serial killer gets a brief visit from the victims he should have concreted over in his basement, but he gets by with a little help from his neighbors. Because that's what good neighbors are for, right? In the immortal words of the Lake Woebegotton Interfaith Anti-Zombie Task Force: "As Jesus said, I've come, not to bring peace but a sword. And the only reason He said sword is because assault rifles hadn't been invented yet." So call your ladies church auxiliary and your neighborhood munitions stock-piler, and you too will be able to survive the end of days. If you need ideas for what to serve at your town meeting announcing the zombie apocalypse, may I suggest the tuna hot dish.

This is one of the strange books that doesn't really make the jump to horror or comedy much less back again. Would I listen to it again...NO. Was it worth a credit...Maybe. I did recommend it to my wife and she thought it was as cornball as I did. I still don't think it was zombie book but more of soap opera with a zombies tossed in to add drama.

Goldilocks would have liked it
Zombies of Lake Woebegotton: i bet Goldilocks wood have liked it: not to silly not to stupid but just rite.
However Goldie probably didn't know s*** about zombies, but fortunately I do. At least a thing or two bout zombie stories. And this one is pretty good. It's cute. Cute that is as far as a zombie story goes. It has good killing and gore and such, it is a zombie story after all. But it is a story of a small town, with small town folx and small town scenarios. The small town zombie story. If you have ever lived in a small town you'll know what I mean. If you have never lived in a small town you might not like it.
Now days, there are two types of zombie story: serious or funny. The funny ones are usually dumb. But the funny in this one is subtle-ish. It is small town funny. And that is what separates it from the funny ones that end up being dumb. And the humor is not a focus of the story.
there are a good series of character surprises that are truly surprising. like the old man school teacher who is a chainsaw serial killer in secret. Or the lady who is married to the guy that has paraphilia: person who enjoys sex with objects, like chairs or fire hydrants or cars.
I do have a pet-peeve when it comes to zombie stories: when they mention zombie movies or stories. Don't know why this bugs me, but it does. Guess what – they do it here. I was bummed, at first. But they did it better or different than anyone had ever done it before: part of the guys liberal-arts class in college.
In short this story is not Chekhov, but zombie books never are. This is a nice break away from the hustle and bustle of serious literature, a fresh take on a dead genre.
yup – woebegone is a good time for the slightly twisted.

Concerns about a liquidity crunch in the world's second largest economy, reflected by an unsuccessful bond auction last week and a spike in interbank lending rates, threaten to derail financial markets just as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to restore some calm this week.
China's Finance Ministry failed to sell all of the $2.45 billion worth of government bonds on offer at an auction on Friday – the first time it has not reached its target in almost two years – amid a strain in liquidity conditions.
Reflecting tightness in the money market, the 7-day repo rate - a key indicator of market liquidity - has risen to around 7 percent, compared with an average level of 3 percent over the past year, according to Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Bank.
(Read More: Former US Treasury Secretary Urges Change in China)
"We should be very careful about the news flow in China and what's going on. A negative headline out of China related to the financial sector could undo some efforts of the Fed to keep markets calm," Richard Yetsenga, head of global markets research at ANZ told CNBC Asia's "Squawk Box" on Monday.
Expectations that the Fed could start to take back its aggressive monetary stimulus this year as the economy improves has led to a sharp sell-off in global markets in recent weeks and the U.S. central bank is expected to use this week's monetary policy meeting as an opportunity to calm the nerves.
But signs of trouble in China's financial system could give markets a reason to remain on edge.
While seasonal factors such as last week's three-day national holiday and corporate tax payments at the end of May have driven tightness in the money market, experts say overall financial stress in the economy is rising.
"The problem in China is that mounting bad debt is making it harder and harder to refinance all that bad debt while simultaneously funding ever-rising levels of investment which has been a major factor in fueling GDP [gross domestic product] growth," said Patrick Chovanec, chief strategist at Silvercrest Asset Management.

"Even at alarmingly high levels of credit expansion, there just isn't enough liquidity to paper over past losses and drive growth. The failed auction is just one symptom of this liquidity crunch," Chovanec added.

David Bowie
Glamorous. Futuristic. Alien. Mortal. You can never fully encapsulate the many faces of David Bowie.
Bowie's fifty-year career is one of constant evolution, brilliant innovation, and enduring artistry. His legacy endures as one of a talent that defied form and a man who defied definition.
David Bowie was rock's foremost futurist and a genre-bending pioneer, chameleon and transformer. Throughout his solo career and in his alliances with other artists—including Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and Nine Inch Nails—Bowie has positioned himself on the cutting edge of rock and roll. His innovations created or furthered several major trends in rock and roll, including glam-rock, art-rock and the very notion of the self-mythologized, larger-than-life rock star.
The London-born Bowie entered the music scene via a series of short-lived British bands in the mid-Sixties—among them, the Manish Boys and the Lower Third—before embarking on a solo career in 1966. He released the moody, existential "Space Oddity" in 1969—the year America landed a man on the moon. On the strength of such early albums as Man of Words/Man of Music (1969) and The Man Who Sold the World (1970), Bowie became a cult figure to rock fans looking for something new and challenging to fill the post-Sixties void. A driven, polymorphic artist who breaks all the molds, Bowie has attracted attention from the beginning for his frequent, fascinating changes of guise and the high quality of his unpredictable music. "I'm the last one to understand the material I write," Bowie once protested. But it surely has always had something to do with imagining and moving forward into the future.
Bowie's breakthrough came with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), a thoroughly modern album that promulgated the notion of rock star as space alien. Bowie melded rock with theater, creating the provocative character and alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Flirting with decadence and embracing theatricality like no rock and roller before him, Bowie erupted from cult figure to rock icon in Ziggy's wake. He dressed the part of the flamboyant "starman," affecting costumes that fused British mod and Japanese kabuki styles. Rainbow-hued knit body suits, metallic bomber jackets, space-samurai outfits, white satin kimonos, and see-through mesh tops were among the fanciful threads worn by Bowie in the guise of Ziggy Stardust and his successor, the paranoid androgyne Aladdin Sane. Boasting sharp, propulsive music from the Spiders from Mars—which included the late guitarist Mick Ronson—The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and its followup, Aladdin Sane (1973), heralded a paradigm shift in the early Seventies. Bowie also displayed his affection for the mod "London underground" of the mid-to-late Sixties with Pin Ups (1973), an album of cover songs by the Pretty Things, Pink Floyd, Them and other hitmakers of the day.
During the Seventies, Bowie pioneered and embodied the notion of rock style. For much of the decade he projected a calculating aloofness, and many wondered where the characters ended and the "real Bowie" began. "Bowie's conceit is to treat human feeling as technology and technology as feeling," wrote music critic Tom Carson. In the mid-to-late Seventies, however, Bowie took refuge from fame—and a drug problem—in Berlin, where he embarked on a fruitful union with producer Brian Eno (though the albums were produced by Tony Visconti) that resulted in the celebrated Berlin Trilogy: three largely experimental, atmospheric albums on which Bowie reinvented himself yet again. With Low (1977), Heroes (1977) and Lodger (1979), Bowie peeled away his masks while creating music that anticipated the ambient and industrial soundscapes of the coming decades.
In 1980, Bowie released Scary Monsters, which summed up and closed the door on the previous decade. The album even cast a final nod to Bowie's "Major Tom" character from "Space Oddity" with the sequel "Ashes to Ashes." Moving into theater, Bowie worked on Broadway for four months in 1980, garnering rave reviews for his portrayal of John Merrick in the lead role of The Elephant Man. Musically, Bowie's commercial masterstroke came in 1983 with Let's Dance, an accessible set of modern-minded dance music that gave Bowie his second Number One hit with the brassy, swaggering title track, as well as "China Girl" (Number Ten) and "Modern Love" (Number Fourteen). That same year, the D.A. Pennebaker-produced film documentary of Bowie's final tour from the Ziggy days, Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture, was released.
Admittedly, Bowie didn't dominate and define the Eighties as he did the Seventies. However, he released intermittent albums (Tonight in 1984 and Never Let Me Down in 1987) and collaborated with the likes of Queen, Mick Jagger, Bing Crosby and the Pat Metheny Band while further pursuing his lifelong interest in alternate media, including film, theater and painting. In 1989, the Ryko label reissued Bowie's back catalog—from Space Oddity through Scary Monsters, as well as singles compilations and a spectacular box set, Sound + Vision. Bowie supported the reissue program with the Sound + Vision Tour, during which he performed a largely retrospective repertoire for what he claimed would be the last time. He also formed a band, Tin Machine, submerging his ego as an equal member of this edgy, hard-rocking entity. Tin Machine didn't enjoy the commercial or critical acclaim of Bowie's solo works, but the very idea of Bowie as a bandmate spoke intriguingly of his more human-scaled prerogatives at middle age.
During the Nineties, Bowie returned to pushing the envelope as never before while also moving into the most settled phase of his personal life. On April 24th 1992, Bowie married the Somalian model Iman at a civil ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland. He commemorated the event with "The Wedding," from the 1993 album Black Tie White Noise. Subsequently, Bowie embarked on a startlingly ambitious and uncompromising series of albums. The unsettling Outside (1995) was a self-described "non-linear Gothic Drama Hyper-cycle" based on characters from a Bowie short story. The accompanying tour found him joined by the extremist electronic act Nine Inch Nails. In 1997, Bowie released Earthling, an album that showed the influence of the underground dance-music scene on Bowie (and vice versa). A year later, he was the first rock star to launch his own internet service provider, BowieNet. The autobiographical, angst-filled studio album Hours appeared in 1999, providing mortal musings from Bowie on the eve of the new millennium.
Bowie remained an important, cutting-edge artist into the 21st Century. In October 2001, he opened the Concert for New York City, a tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks. The following year, he released the album Heathen; and one year later, in 2003, Reality. In 2006, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. On January 8, 2013, Bowie released his first single in a decade, "Where Are We Now?," coinciding with his 66th birthday. His The Next Day (2013) album followed, his first new studio album in a decade.
As critic Brad Filicky wrote, "Bowie has become known as a musical chameleon, changing and dictating trends as much as he has altered his style to fit, influencing fashion and pop culture." David Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016, just two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his critically acclaimed album Blackstar.

With Pensions At Risk, Government Workers Must Demand Better Retirement Plans
The firm has pioneered the emerging field of forensic investigations of the money management industry and has conducted investigations worldwide involving in excess of $1 trillion in assets under management.
We believe, based upon our experience as industry experts, that breaches of fiduciary duty by money managers result in substantial, quantifiable harm. That is, conflicts of interest, unethical business practices, and undisclosed compensation agreements that are pervasive throughout the money management industry, will undermine the integrity of an investment process and detrimentally impact performance. Moreover, as recent spectacular failures in third party due diligence demonstrate, investors need enhanced integrity investigative services to protect themselves from fraud and operational risks.
As a result of our historic representation of institutional investors with substantial assets managed by external investment advisors, we are afforded, in connection with our due diligence and forensic reviews, enhanced access to public and non-public information regarding professional money managers. The firm has the most substantial body of specialized knowledge regarding securities brokerage and investment management abuses available outside of governmental organizations. Our groundbreaking investigations have had a profound impact upon the management of institutional assets and have helped redefine the investment consulting industry.
Today Benchmark offers all investors, including individuals, access to the most depthful fiduciary consulting and investigative services related to investment management available anywhere -- knowledge once reserved for fiduciaries to the largest pensions. Our enhanced integrity approach meets or exceeds the highest standard of care recognized under law - the fiduciary standard.

"I had never been summoned to Number 208 [by the park] before; I nervously adjusted my coat . . ." A person could book a pick-up online or by phoning into FedEx but you couldn't summon a particular delivery person, could you?
"April, it means what I said," Becky from the warehouse told me on the phone, "I'm not being rude, the lady who lives there wanted you, specifically, at her home."
The door was open when I arrived. "I'm here," a frail female voice rasped.
Walking into the house I heard the respirations of a woman on a ventilator. She was all hollows and sallow skin. Her hair was whispy white and thinning. Eyes the color of blue-bells greeted me but they were bloodshot.
The woman grasped a yellow envelope with a trembling hand. She shook the envelope and a key dropped out.
Her shaking fingers held it out, "For me?" I asked.
I took the key staring at it in confusion; it appeared ancient. As I examined it I heard the woman gasp something. I moved closer to her and held her hand attempting to hear her strained voice. She shook her head with a ragged sigh and breathed her last.

Collection Overview
The GIS Data collection spans the years 1947-2009, with the bulk of the items ranging from 1999-2009. The collection is a product of the Geospatial Multistate Archive and Preservation Partnership (GeoMAPP) project. This project aims to address the preservation of "at risk" and temporally significant digital geospatial content by identifying at-risk or temporally valuable geospatial content, developing an archives process to ingest and manage these superseded snapshots of geospatial data, and implementing strategies to enable long-term access and preservation of geospatial content.
The collection currently consists of "demonstration" data or purposely identified datasets to capture as part of the demonstration portion of the project. The dataset categories include local and state government datasets, orthoimagery, centralized datasets (Framework and Non-Framework data), project files and digitized maps.
To view the attributes of a geospatial PDF, either Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 or higher (free download) or Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (licensed product) can be used. Specialized software is required to view and manipulate shapefiles and MrSID images. To install a free GIS viewing tool from ESRI, download the ArcGIS Explorer on www.esri.com
Collection Arrangement
The collection is arranged into 4 series: Digitized Maps, Orthoimagery (digital imagery), Project Files and Vector Data (spatial data represented by points, lines and polygons). Within each series are further delineations primarily distinguishing whether the data represented is county based or statewide. The datasets in Vector Data have a different folder structure, beginning with the classification of items first by ISO 19115 Categories and then by Ramona GIS Inventory Data Layers. The items are further distinguished as either county based or statewide, followed by the dataset name and then by the year the dataset was published.
Historical Note
These materials are part of the Geospatial Multistate Archive and Preservation Partnership (GeoMAPP) project. The GeoMAPP effort is driven by a partnership between the Library of Congress and state geospatial and archives staff from North Carolina, Kentucky and Utah. The partners include: the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA), North Carolina State Archives, North Carolina State University Libraries, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (KDLA), Kentucky Division of Geographic Information (DGI), Utah State Archives and Records Service and Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC).
The GeoMAPP effort aims to address the preservation of at risk and temporally significant digital geospatial content. Geospatial data layers containing information about land parcels, zoning, roads, and jurisdictional boundaries change regularly. Existing copies of these data are often at risk of being overwritten when updates or changes are made and these superseded snapshots of data are then lost for future use and analysis. The project also intends to identify other geospatial data sets that would be valuable to preserve due to their utility in analysis such as land use, land cover or population change or content that would be valuable for historic mapping or cultural preservation.

Weston Child Support Attorney
In Florida all parents must contribute to the support of their minor children. A minor child is defined as a child who has not yet celebrated his/her 18th birthday. If however, the child is 18 but is still a full time student in high school, than support can be extended until either high school graduation or the child's 19th birthday; whichever occurs first.
Child support in Weston is based upon our Florida Child Support Guidelines and the net income of both parents. It is based solely upon income and parent's expenses or cost of living is never considered. Parents cannot legally waive child support, since the support is not theirs to waive. Therefore, in every case where there are minor children, child support must be determined. Day care or after school care is an expense which is added to the basic support in addition to childrens' health insurance premiums.
An experienced child support attorney has the legal expertise to assist parents through the child support process in Weston, Pembroke Pines and all of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade County. Evan H. Baron & Associates can help you negotiate appropriate child support terms while expediting the filing process to ensure all Weston child support legal requirements are met.
Contact child support attorney Evan H. Baron at his Weston law firm for a family law consultation.

Newman Battles Ill-Handling Race Car, Finishes 21st
November 16, 2008
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (Nov. 16, 2008) - Ryan Newman, in the No. 12 Penske Racing Alltel Dodge, finished a hard-fought 21st place in the 2008 NASCAR Cup Series finale, Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Newman finished the 2008 NASCAR Cup Series season 17th in the driver points standings in his final season with Penske Racing.
"The way that we ran tonight, I guess I'm glad that the season is over. We really struggled tonight, and that's not how I wanted this last race to go," Newman said after the 400-mile race. "Despite our run tonight, I'm very, very grateful for the opportunity that Roger (Penske) has given me over the last several years. The friendships and relationships that I've made over the last several years are priceless."
Newman continued his positive sentiments. "To win the Daytona 500 for Roger is something that I'll never forget," he said. "Our year ended in a struggle, but my entire Alltel Dodge team fought every race to get the best finish that we could. I want to wish Kurt (Busch) and Sam (Hornish Jr.) and all the guys the best as I transition into a new race team."
Newman finished the year with one pole, one win, two top-five and eight top-10 finishes.
On Friday, Newman qualified in 29th place at the 1.5 mile Homestead-Miami Speedway for the season-ending 267-lap event.
Just a handful of laps into the race on Sunday, Newman radioed crew chief Roy McCauley that the Alltel Dodge was "too tight." The tight-handling condition caused Newman to fall back into 36th place by lap five. As the race wore on, Newman was able to gain back a few of those spots, but he continued to battle an ill-handling race car.
At lap 40, McCauley told Newman to do the best that he could on the track and that the team was ready to make "sizable adjustments" at their first opportunity to pit.
Newman pitted under the green flag at lap 51. The team made substantial track bar and wedge adjustments, hoping to improve the car's handling. The pit crew also changed four tires and added fuel. Newman returned to the track in 34th place.
Shortly following the green flag stop, Newman fell one lap down to the leaders while still running in 34th place.
Newman told his crew that the Alltel Dodge wasn't as tight as it had been during the first long run of the day, but the car had now gotten too loose on exit. Newman said the car was so 'free" getting in to the corner that he couldn't drive it in the way that he wanted to. He was also fighting a tight-handling issue in the center of the turns.
A caution flag at lap 69 gave the Alltel pit crew the opportunity to continue to work on the Alltel Dodge's handling problems. The crew made an air pressure adjustment to the left side tires in addition to another track bar and wedge adjustment. They also changed four tires and added fuel. Newman returned to the track in 35th place, still one lap down to the leaders.
With the race leaders setting a blistering pace on the field, Newman's goal was to be awarded the "Lucky Dog" free pass to get back on the lead lap should the opportunity present itself.
Newman continued to battle the ill-handling race car and was pestered with grip issues throughout the course of the race. However, with each opportunity, the Alltel crew made adjustments to the car on pit lane in hopes of assisting Newman's handling problems.
The team's hard work and perseverance paid off following a caution period that began at lap 198. Newman told the crew that his car was "plowing tight." Under the caution flag, Newman's crew changed four tires, added fuel and made a track bar adjustment. Newman restarted in 26th place, the second car one lap down to the leaders.
A daring three-wide move on the restart put Newman in the position to be awarded the "Lucky Dog" free pass, which would put him back on the lead lap with just over 50 laps remaining in the race. A quick caution flag at lap 207 proved to be the break that Newman needed to get back on the lead lap.
Under the caution flag, Newman made his final pit stop of the night for four tires and fuel. The No. 12 machine returned to the track in 25th place. McCauley instructed Newman to conserve his fuel because he was about five laps shy because the team did not plan on pitting again.
As the laps wound down, Newman continued to fight with a race car that wouldn't turn in the center of the corner and was loose on exit. Newman told his crew that he was doing everything he could with the Alltel Dodge, but with just 11 laps remaining, Newman once again went one lap down to the leaders. But over the final laps of the race, Newman was able to gain spots on the tracks as several teams opted to pit for fuel and others ran out of gas.
Newman crossed the finish line in 21st place. His Penske Racing teammate, Kurt Busch, finished 43rd.

Hi Team,
After my last blog post on the new clickable results arrows inside Market Samurai, I wanted to give you some insights into search engines that will save you a lot of unnecessary confusion and frustration – and give you a better understanding of the way search engines work.
Now that you're getting closer to the raw data sources, and doing deeper analysis, it's important that you know about the way that Google, Yahoo and other search engines keep their data.
Otherwise, some of their "quirks" can cause confusion.
The Beast with 1,000 Heads…
Most people believe that Google is a single mega-computer.
This is untrue.
In fact, it's a series of perhaps thousands of computers (servers) – all working together to provide Google users with results for their search queries.
Keeping thousands of computers up-to-date with all of the changes that are happening online is a mammoth task!
These thousands of servers are constantly being updated with new information – but it doesn't all happen at once.
This means, depending on which server Google gets your results from, you can see slightly different results server-to-server.
Which Data Source is Correct?
It can be confusing for some people, when they see an SEO Competitor count of [say] 104,000 for a keyword inside Market Samurai, and 102,000 when doing a search manually on the same keyword – in "quotes", just like Market Samurai does.
They ask "Which data source is correct?" or start to wonder if they can trust Market Samurai results since they're different to what they see manually.
It can be confusing for people if they don't understand the way servers are structured – but the truth is simple if you know…
Both numbers are accurate.
They both come from the same data source (Google) – and an end user is just as likely to see either.
When you're doing analysis, it's rare that the numbers will be substantially different (normally they'll be fairly close to one-another if there is ANY difference at all.) So it shouldn't make too much difference to any analysis.
However, if you have concerns, it's wise to use the more conservative number – the number that works least in your favor.
And now that you know this little tit-bit about how search engines operate, you now know more about the technology behind search engines than many professional SEO's.

ASHEVILLE NC – The return of warmer temperatures offers the opportunity for relaxation and exploration outdoors. Whether you're relaxing in the backyard, turning up your garden, enjoying the pool or taking part in another outdoor activity, you'll want to be sure and keep your distance from disease-causing pests. Here are some ways you and your family can remain healthy while outdoors this spring and summer.
Prevent Mosquito and Tick Bites
Warmer temperatures aren't just attractive to people, but to mosquitoes and ticks as well. Small as they are, these tiny creatures can cause severe illness, and in some cases, even death. There are several simple and effective ways to avoid their bite without missing out on your favorite outdoor activities.
One of the most recommended ways to avoid mosquitoes is to avoid going outdoors when they are most likely to bite – from dusk to dawn. Unfortunately, in Western North Carolina, we have some mosquitoes, such as the tree-hole mosquito, that tend to be out and bite all day.
To enjoy your outdoor activities at any time, repel mosquitoes by regularly using a mosquito and tick repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
- In addition to using mosquito repellant on exposed skin, wear long pants tucked into your socks and long sleeves to protect yourself from bites.
- Treat clothing with permethrin (which protects through several washings) or buy clothes that are pre-treated with permethrin.
- Always follow the directions on repellent packages carefully and use caution when treating small children.
Ticks are out all the time. Young ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see, but both young and adult ticks look to animals and sometimes people to bite.
Keep ticks at a distance by avoiding tick-infested areas, especially places with leaf-litter, brush, and high grasses.
- Use a mosquito and tick repellent containing 20% DEET.
- Shower as soon as possible after coming indoors and check your body for ticks. Make sure that your children also bathe or shower and check them for ticks as well.
- Wash and tumble dry your clothes.
- Don't forget to check your pets for ticks.
- If you find an attached tick:
- Carefully remove it with a pair of fine-tipped tweezers.
- Call your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms of a tick-borne illness 1 – 3 weeks following a bite. Symptoms may include rash, fever, body aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck or disorientation.
Keep Mosquitoes and Ticks out of Your Yard
Look around your yard and neighborhood and remove any items that may collect standing water, such as buckets, old tires, toys and flowerpots.
- Mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of water in just a few days.
- Replace or repair torn window screens to keep mosquitoes out of the house.
- You can reduce the likelihood that ticks will live around your home by removing leaf litter, brush and woodpiles around your house and at the edge of your yard.
Beware of Bats
Bats are fun to watch as they flutter around at dusk. In many camp areas, the sighting of bats is common and normal; however, bats can be infected with rabies and may pose a risk for exposure to humans.
What To Do If You Find a Bat
- Get everyone out of the room, cabin, or tent and close the bat inside.
- Whenever possible, the bat should be captured and sent to a lab for rabies testing. Follow instructions for capturing bats.
- Knowing if a bat has rabies helps those who may have been exposed decide if they should get rabies post-exposure vaccines. This is especially important if someone was sleeping in the room where the bat was found because the bite of a bat can be very small and go unnoticed. Once symptoms of rabies begin, it is almost always fatal.
- If you are bitten by a bat, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical advice right away. In Buncombe County go to the Emergency Department at Mission Hospital.
- Remind children to never touch a bat.
If you find a bat in your residence, do not release it. Leave the room, closing the bat inside if possible, and call animal control or law enforcement for your area.
Don't forget to protect your pets!
While you're outside enjoying the weather, remember to protect your pets too. Keeping healthy pets will help keep you and your family healthy.
Dogs, cats and ferrets need to be kept up-to-date on their rabies vaccines. In Buncombe County you can get low-cost rabies vaccines for your furry friends at clinics sponsored by Buncombe County and the Asheville Humane Society. Click here to learn more.
Protect family pets from ticks and fleas by keeping them on a flea and tick control program. Talk to your veterinarian for advice on the appropriate anti-bug products to use on your pet.
You don't have to let the threat of illness from mosquitoes, ticks or bats dampen your outdoor fun in warm weather. Take these simple precautions, get on outside and enjoy! Have a safe and healthy spring and summer!
For More Information
If you have questions or concerns about diseases that may be transmitted through bites, contact your healthcare provider or the Buncombe County Communicable Disease Program at 250-5109.
For questions about eliminating ticks or mosquitoes from your yard, you may call Buncombe County Environmental Health at 250-5016.

The Recreation Vehicle Education Safety Foundation (RVSEF) will take on an expanded role educating consumers about RVs and the RV lifestyle during a Sept. 13-16 clinc prior to the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show in Hershey, Pa.
"The number of RVers attending rallies is down, but the percentage of people attending our weighing and driving seminars actually is up," said Walter Cannon, executive director of the Merrit Island, Fla.-based RVSEF.
Seminars will be presented by Workhorse Custom Chassis Inc., Spartan Chassis Inc., Freightliner Custom Chassis Inc., Cummins Inc.'s Onan generator division and Gary Motley of Motley RV Repair, Oklahoma City, Okla., in addition to the Geeks on Tour, who will teach Internet-related subjects, Nick Russell, publisher of Gypsy Journal, an RV lifestyle magazine, and Mac McCoy, who will instruct on fire and personal safety.
Cannon's foundation has a full-time team on the road attending about 40 rallies a year sponsoring safety seminars focused on weighing loaded RVs and providing weight-safety instruction. RVSEF — the successor organization to "A'Weigh We Go" founded by John Anderson in Chucky, Tenn. — weighed about 1,500 motorhomes and towable RVs last year.
"We are seeing a decrease in the number of RVers who are overloading their tires," Cannon said. "The tire manufacturers … have convinced RV manufacturers to install tires for how RVers are using their coaches."
E-mails promoting the Pennsylvania clinic have gone out to potential RVers visiting the Go RVing Coalition's gorving.com website, with another round of e-mail and postal mail followups planned early this summer.
The RVSEF clinic at the Wildwood Conference Center at Harrisburg (Pa.) Community College, in a manner of speaking, will fill a vacancy left by the poplar Life On Wheels program, which shut its doors in October following the death of founder Gaylord Maxwell. Maxwell sponsored his last Life on Wheels conference the week before the 2008 Hershey Show.
Dry camping for 100 rigs will be available at the college, and those attending for $249 for the first person and $199 for the second also will receive a three-day pass to the Hershey Show Sept. 16-20. Retail days are Sept. 14-15.
"The general need for a program like this is two-pronged," Cannon said. "For the new owners, it enables them to understand their RV and the RV lifestyle so that they can get the most enjoyment out of their RV dollar.
"The second thing is that 30% of the attendees at Life on Wheels were non-RV owners. They were educating themselves about RVs before committing themselves to the expense. And about 90% of them purchased an RV during the next six months. It wasn't a dealer or manufacturer talking to them, and they left Gaylord's clinics feeling that they had the tools to make a decision about how to spend their money wisely."

Jeanson Issued U.S. Licence
We have just received confirmation that Genevieve Jeanson has just been issued a USA Cycling licence. An announcement from USA Cycling is expected to be issued shortly.
Jeanson has been without a licence thus far in the season because the Quebec federation (FQSC) has delayed her application, citing concerns over information received with respect to the high hematocrit level she recorded at the Road World Championships last October. Jeanson met with CCA and FQSC officials in December to provide an explanation as to why the high level occurred. The FQSC felt that the information provided was not sufficient to determine the cause (and, in their view, to determine whether there was continued health risk), and delayed issuing a licence.
The delay in issuing a licence meant that Jeanson missed the Tour of the Sun stage race in Arizona last month, and could not, in fact, race in any early season events. The Team Rona rider first approached the Ontario Cycling Association to receive a licence and then USA Cycling, citing her residence in Arizona as sufficient reason for being eligible for a U.S.-based licence.
The issuance of a licence in the U.S. has no effect on her status as a Canadian rider, and she can still represent Canada as a member of the national team.

Sebelius back to Hill for more
Kathleen Sebelius isn't going anywhere — but the White House isn't exactly pulling out all the stops to defend her work.
That's the reality of Sebelius's uncomfortable status as she returns to the Hill on Wednesday to catch more arrows over Obamacare. The Health and Human Services secretary seems to have largely escaped the early GOP calls for her resignation over the website fiasco, and by most accounts she still has a good personal relationship with President Barack Obama.
Story Continued Below
But that doesn't mean Sebelius, or HHS in general, are getting a lot of visible support from the rest of the White House. A damaging New York Times story reported that unnamed Sebelius aides had made fun of an Obamacare "countdown calendar" put together by White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, a leak that suggested the traditional tensions between the two camps have gotten even worse in the aftermath of the botched rollout.
( PHOTOS: 10 Sebelius quotes about Obamacare website)
And when Jeff Zients, the management consultant the White House recruited to head the website repair efforts, declared the fixes largely successful at the end of November, he suggested his team had discovered "weaknesses in how the project was being managed" — comments that were hard not to read as a slap at the oversight that took place under Sebelius, or at least on her watch.
Obama and his team have given Sebelius the obligatory statements of support when asked. White House spokesman Josh Earnest has said Obama has "complete confidence" in her, and Obama himself has said Sebelius did a "great job" under tough circumstances. But he didn't take the bait when NBC's Chuck Todd asked directly if he still has confidence in her — and he hasn't offered morale-boosting shout-outs, at least at his public events, on the other days when Sebelius has defended the rollout on Capitol Hill.
And although the official line from the White House has always been that Obama and Sebelius are in lock step — they were both unsatisfied with the website and pushed for the fixes — even Obama has played a bit of the "not me" game, telling Chris Matthews that the failures had nothing to do with his own management style.
( Understanding Obamacare: POLITICO's guide to the ACA)
There's a lot more to the story of the disastrous rollout, of course, including the management by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services — the agency within HHS that's heading the implementation — and the performance of CGI Federal, the main contractor on the website.
But Sebelius is the highest-profile figure, other than Obama himself, who had responsibility for implementing the law and getting it right. She's already put herself through two grillings on Capitol Hill, and as she goes through her third one on Wednesday — before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee — she'll be in the awkward position of taking the hits for Obama but not getting a lot of confidence-bolstering statements from the White House in return.
And she'll most likely have to answer Republican attacks on an ever-growing list of uncomfortable topics, from the canceled policies to "sticker shock" to the latest GOP theme — that people in certain situations won't be able to keep their doctors, contrary to Obama's promises.
( PHOTOS: Sebelius testifies on Obamacare rollout)
Those who know Sebelius say she'll just take the hits and not try to push back at the White House, even indirectly. Because that's the tradition at HHS — you're expected to be the fall guys for the White House, even if your view is that, yeah, they do share some of the blame.
"Part of everyone's role, when you serve the president, is that you serve the president, whatever way that happens," said one former HHS aide who worked under Sebelius. "I don't see her engaging in anything other than moving ahead. She's not going to throw up her hands and say the president botched the whole thing."
Others say she's politically savvy enough to take a hint if Obama does lose confidence in her — but that, until then, she's so committed to the Affordable Care Act that she'll ride out the criticisms.
"She's done this for a long time. I really do think she understands how to play the game. That said, I think she's completely committed to the success of the Affordable Care Act," said Burdett Loomis, a political science professor at the University of Kansas who briefly worked for Sebelius when she was Kansas governor.
( Also on POLITICO: Polls: Obamacare still not popular)
"She could have gotten out of the administration after four years and gone to a really good job, and said, 'Good luck.' But she did not do that," Loomis said.
Sebelius's current aides insist she's focused on accomplishing the law's goal of expanding coverage to millions of Americans and that she's learned from growing up in a political family — especially from her father, former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan — to shrug off whatever criticisms come her way.
"Under her leadership, the site is now vastly improved from the beginning of October, and enrollment is far outpacing where it was in the initial weeks," said a source close to Sebelius. "The secretary is used to the spotlight and to pressure. She learned early on from her father not to take criticisms personally."
