Editor's Note: This story has been updated. A previous version of this article stated that the Cumberland County Republican Committee was not charged rent for it's previous office space on Stover Drive. A closer review of the committee's campaign finance reports shows intermittent rent payments of varying values for the Stover Drive location going back to at least 2000, at a lower and less frequent cost than currently. Payments for current the Millennium Way property appear in late 2014, according to those records, not 2015 as previously stated. A previous version also gave the committee's fundraising total for 2017-18 as $55,953. It was $50 higher, $56,003. The Sentinel regrets the errors.
The chair of the Cumberland County Republican Committee, state Rep. Greg Rothman, is coming under fire from within his own party in a schism that could have wide-ranging implications going into the 2020 election.
Local GOP leaders have cited concern about Rothman's conduct and the potential fallout from it, particularly Rothman's use of county campaign funds to have the committee rent a headquarters office in a building that he partially owns.
Rothman, who was recently named chair of the state House Republican Campaign Committee, has also come under scrutiny for focusing the county committee's 2019 election efforts almost exclusively on Silver Spring Township's municipal races, where Rothman has business interests.
The contention comes at a time when the county GOP is trying to stem its loss of electoral ground in preparation for 2020, where Cumberland County is expected to be a battleground of national importance.
As of this writing, it is possible that the GOP has lost its outright majority of registered voters in the county for the first time in decades. Numbers from the Pennsylvania Department of State, as of Monday, show 86,601 registered Republicans out of a total of 173,018 registered voters in the county — a margin of 184 voters before the GOP loses party-line dominance.
Rental space
Concerns about Rothman's ability to maintain the party's base date to 2014, when the Cumberland County Republican Committee's campaign finance filings began showing $1,000 monthly payments to Millennium Real Estate Partners LLC.
Rothman's financial interest disclosures, on file with the Pennsylvania Ethics Commission, indicate that he holds a 50 percent stake in Millennium Real Estate LLC.
The address listed for the LLC on all of the documents is the same as RSR Realtors, Rothman's real estate company. An RSR leasing sign, with Rothman's name and phone number on it, sits outside the LLC's property at 2250 Millennium Way in Hampden Township, where the committee's headquarters is located.
Prior to the fall of 2014, the committee's headquarters was listed as 8 Stover Drive in Middlesex Township, a space within the Tuckey Cos.' complex that the committee appears to have occupied at a lower cost, according to it's campaign finance history.
"I would say there is concern," Bruce McLanahan, the deputy chair of the committee, said when asked about Rothman's decision to move the committee headquarters.
"I was appointed deputy chair of the Cumberland County GOP in the fall of 2017," McLanahan said. "It wasn't until recently that I was made aware that there were substantial rent payments being made to an LLC that is owned by the chairman."
Several other people closely involved in midstate Republican politics confirmed concern over the situation, particularly given that office space does not appear to be widely used.
Rothman did not responded to multiple phone calls and text messages from The Sentinel this week as of this edition.
The GOP committee's website describes the location as a "headquarters and victory center" that "has no routine scheduled office hours." The headquarters office is almost entirely unmarked. The sign for the Millennium Way office park does not include any committee signage; signs inside the lobby of the building point visitors to other medical and professional offices but indicate nothing about the existence of the county Republican headquarters.
The only sign identifying the committee is on a door located off of a maintenance access stairway, with a "vote Republican" sign taped to a second interior entrance off a separate office suite.
The space itself is slightly over 400 square feet covered with aging green carpet. Folding tables are the only furniture in the space, and the room is littered with old campaign flyers, posters and yard signs.
Campaign funds
Campaign committees often lease offices, and it's not necessarily uncommon for them to rent space from someone involved in the campaign. But the limited utility of the space, and its relatively high rental cost, raises questions, GOP insiders said.
In 2017 and 2018 combined, the county GOP committee raised $56,003, according to its campaign finance filings. Almost half of that, $25,000 was used to pay rent to Millennium Real Estate during the two-year period (it is unclear if a month of back payment from the previous year was included, or if Rothman mistakenly paid himself for an extra month).
A decade earlier, in 2007, the committee brought in $76,895 in a single year, and showed 11 rent payments of $900. In 2010, the committee was only charged for two months of rent.
"There have been a good number of people who have expressed concerns about the fact that the party has no money whatsoever to support and promote its ticket of countywide candidates," said county commissioner Gary Eichelberger, who is seeking re-election as a Republican this year.
Eichelberger said he hopes Rothman will soon step down from his chairmanship.
You have free articles remaining.
"He's not totally oblivious to the fact that there are a great number of people who are concerned about the lack of leadership within the Cumberland County Republican Committee right now," Eichelberger said.
Eichelberger and others cited the inability of the committee, under Rothman, to prevent the atrophy of the GOP's registration advantage while simultaneously putting a great deal of time and money into electoral contests that promise little in the way of strategic return. This year, under Rothman's guidance, the committee has spent significantly on local races in Silver Spring Township, while ignoring races considered to be of larger importance to the GOP.
The committee has financed at least three Silver Spring Township-wide mailers so far this primary season to support township supervisor candidates Bob Walker and Sam Herbert, as well as Jessica Silcox and Jevon Ford, the committee's endorsed candidates for Silver Spring Township's seats on the Cumberland Valley School Board.
Although other higher-profile GOP endorsees — such as the county commissioners, district attorney and superior court judges — are listed on the backs of the mailers in small print, the majority of the space is devoted to the Silver Spring Township races.
The committee has also exclusively financed yard signs for the two sets of candidates, including the dozens of large plywood billboards for the Walker-Herbert ticket that line the Carlisle Pike.
Silcox and Ford are the only two candidates running, Republican or Democratic, for the two CV school board seats, and both candidates are cross-filed.
The Silver Spring Township supervisors' race is a four-way primary for two seats, but both are guaranteed for the GOP in November given that no Democrats are running. In that race, the committee has endorsed Walker and Herbert over two long-time township Republican officials, incumbent supervisor Nancy Konhaus Griffie and township agricultural preservation board chair Laura Brown.
Konhaus Griffie told The Sentinel that she was not privy to any endorsement process for the Silver Spring supervisors. It was only after signs for the Walker-Herbert ticket began appearing that she said she became aware that the Rothman-led committee was backing a primary challenge against her, Konhaus Griffie said. The county committee has never made endorsements before in Silver Spring municipal races.
On Thursday, all four of the committee-supported candidates in Silver Spring Township submitted 24-hour campaign finance reports, which are required for contributions over $500, received after the final regular reporting deadline on May 10, according to the county's election bureau. This includes in-kind contributions such as a candidate's inclusion on signs and mailers.
Both school board candidates reported a value of $1,712.03 received from the county GOP committee, and both supervisors candidates reported $5,878.01 each, for a total of just over $15,000 spent by the committee on the Silver Spring municipal contests.
"There have been contributors who have stated to Greg that they will not contribute any more as long as the party is using its resources to sabotage other Republicans," Eichelberger said, something that he says has been happening even before recent contention over the Silver Spring races.
Although Eichelberger and his fellow GOP incumbent in the commissioners' race, Vince DiFilippo, are unopposed in the primary, others are not.
This includes a primary race for the statewide Superior Court, in which one of the Republican-endorsed candidates, Christylee Peck, is a Cumberland County judge. The GOP-preferred candidate for county District Attorney, Skip Ebert, faces a primary challenge from Jaime Keating, the former first assistant to Dave Freed, Ebert's predecessor.
The committee's May 10 campaign filing does not indicate any direct fundraising for Peck or Ebert. Ebert also filed a 24-hour report on Wednesday showing a value of $539.04 received from the committee.
Walker, a land use attorney and current CV school board member, represented the developer of a housing subdivision that was drawn into question last year with the school district's attempted use of eminent domain over the historic McCormick Farm. Condemning and re-zoning the agricultural preserve, which Walker supported, would have made it easier for an access road to be built across the farmland to service the subdivision, something that Silver Spring Township said would be necessary for the housing development to be built out to its full extent.
RSR was the listing agent for the farm, whose owners had been looking to sell, albeit with a farmland preservation easement in place. Had the school board followed through on condemning the property, those development restrictions would have been voided.
Future challenges
Rothman's financial and strategic indiscretions have further stressed an already challenging landscape for the GOP in Pennsylvania.
"I have heard nothing but grumbling and grousing about Greg Rothman," said Charlie Gerow, a Republican strategist and a Cumberland County delegate to the state GOP committee.
Since the 2016 election, the GOP in Cumberland County has netted 1,279 registered voters, versus 2,557 additional Democrats and 2,217 new independent or third-party voters. But the county committee's campaign finance filings show no expenditures for registration drives or community events that might be expected from a party facing numerical headwinds.
Rothman was also recently appointed to lead the state House Republican Campaign Committee, making him the face of fundraising for the Pennsylvania GOP's fight to keep its legislative majority statewide in 2020.
At the same time, the county Republican committee will be expected to lead the ground game in Cumberland County for the re-election of U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, who beat his Democratic challenger by 2.5 points in 2018 after redistricting, spurred by the state Supreme Court's gerrymandering decision, put Perry in a much more closely divided district than before.
Much of the pressure Perry is facing is attributable to the leftward shift in some of Cumberland County's West Shore suburbs. Camp Hill, a traditionally Republican suburb that Rothman represents in the statehouse, turned against the GOP last year. Perry won Camp Hill's precincts by 15 points in 2016 but lost the borough by 11 points in 2018.
That race might not get any easier in 2020, particularly with the likelihood that Democrats will concentrate on the race earlier in the election cycle than they did two years ago.
"I think there's a lot of concern because the local party is going to be asked to defend Scott Perry's congressional seat," Gerow said. "That's going to require incredibly much more organization, finance and esprit-de-corps than currently exists."
albeit at a lower and less frequent cost than currently.

March 28-April 3, 2010 Days 189-195
I have been giving this new and improved blog some thought and I realize, that under my current circumstances, it is going to be very difficult to get a good grade for myself here. I decided not to worry too much about it though and here is why: In class this week we learned about vital signs. The first set is called the baseline vitals. This set of vital signs is a basis for determining how well our patient is doing when compared to later readings. We can see through trending if the patient is staying stable or if the patient's condition is deteriorating. When I thought about that, I thought the same is true of my grade in this blog. Each week's grade is a baseline vital for the following week. Keeping that in mind and knowing that I am giving my all in this endeavor to become an EMT, I feel a lot better about the grade, even though it doesn't meet the standard of where I WANT it to be.
This week's report card:
PT Who has time to exercise? D
R&R What's That? C
Health B-
Study Hall A+ and Extra Credit
Total grade for the week C+
Monday was the first day of class for me. I hope that the weather was not a sign of things to come. All day there was nothing but a giant storm cloud following me around. One minute we had a brief glimpse of blue sky and sunshine then the angry black clouds would roll in and release their wrath of rain and hail upon us. When they were through, they would quietly disappear and the sunlight would show for another moment before the next regiment rolled in. The wind was relentless and unforgiving too. All in all, it was an ugly day outside. Great day for the first day of EMT school. SIGH
I had been nervous and anxious about the first class all day. One of my child care parents came in to pick up his son before I left for school and when he saw me he asked me if I was okay. I wondered why he would ask. I was smiling. I was engaged in activities with children. I told him I was fine and asked, "Why? Is my face red or something?" (I have Rosacea, a skin condition that causes blotchy redness, among other things) Sometimes when the Rosacea acts up people think I am sick or getting sick so I assumed this was why he had asked. He said that I looked fine it was just that God had really put it on his heart to pray for me. WOW! It is always so special to be loved and acknowledged by God.
When five o'clock rolled around, I waved goodbye to my staff and the kids and I did something I have not done in over twenty years... I went to school. I walked into my classroom about 35 minutes early. There were two young male students in their seats, no where near each other. I felt very shy and uncomfortable but, since I have been trying hard to overcome my shyness, I painted on a smile and walked in. I made eye contact with the nearest student to me and said brightly, "Hi!" I got absolutely no response whatsoever. Really. I glanced at the other student, across the room and he didn't look up at me. I sat down at the seat in front of the first student and began looking through my text book again, reviewing the material that was to be covered that evening. Rough start!
Shortly after that another young male student sat next to the one I had chosen to sit in front of, the one who had so blatantly ignored me. Their conversation was annoying at best and I realized I was sitting in front of two very immature boys who were going to annoy me to no end if I did not move. Several students later, one walked in who was female and roughly my age. She sat in the front row, which is where I really wanted to sit to begin with but didn't for some reason so I moved and introduced myself. Her name was Cindy and she was at least friendly. We chatted for a few minutes and presently, Adrian, a young man who had been in my CPR for the Professional Rescuer class spotted me and sat next to me on the other side. I was very glad to see that he had made it into the class!
Our instructor, Tom, is a fire chief and paramedic for a local county fire district. (We have a second instructor, Cliff, who is an Assistant Chief for another neighboring county fire district.) Tom told us that we were no longer going to have any friends, social life or time for family or anything else for the next three months. He gave us our course outline, walked us through the process of becoming an EMT Basic in Washington State and launched into the night's materials. He was kind and understanding about people's schedules and personal lives but firm about his policies and the DOT requirements for the course. At the end of the night I went home, expecting to be entering a dark house where everyone was asleep only to find out that my hubby waited up for me for my first day of school. As soon as he hugged me and asked how it was, I burst into tears! I was so overwhelmed. I don't know how I am going to go to school and work full time. I know God knows all about it, but I have to say, I am stressed out.
Tuesday morning I did something I have never done before. I attended the housing ceremony for our local fire department's new Engine 10. As anyone familiar with the fire service knows, traditions are an important part of any department's history. Some traditions universal to fire departments include bag pipes, red fire engines and dalmations. It is even a tradition that if one firefighter gets shown on television he or she must buy icecream for the rest of their crew. Another tradition is the housing ceremony.
Housing ceremonies date back to the 19th century when fire apparatus was usually a horse drawn wagon filled with water. Even back then, when a fire company bought a new fire wagon, they invited the community to come see it. After the community came to view it the fire crew would "push" the wagon back into the firehouse because horses don't easily go in reverse!
While we no longer use horse drawn wagons for fighting fires, the tradition of a housing ceremony still exists in varying forms today.
The program was about a half an hour long, maybe a little shorter. The prelude consisted of a lovely piece by a piper from our city's honor guard. It was followed by a short speech by the fire department's spokesperson. After that the Fire Chief spoke of the many runs that Engine 10 has made in her tenure with our department. Our station 10 is the busiest in our state and the chief spoke of what great care that her crews gave her to keep her in such good shape.
The COO of the Darley Company gave a short presentation about what remarkable shape the old Engine 10 was still in. He spoke of the demanding specs that the city required of his company when ordering apparatus and how Darley Company had worked so hard to meet those needs in great detail. His speech was followed by the Vice President of Spartan Motors who shared similar information from the Spartan Comany's perspective.
Then came the fun. "A" shift pulled out old Engine 10 onto the apron and the guests of the ceremony were given an opportunity to look her over one last time and take pictures before the crew "pushed" her off the apron for the last time. Then "B" Shift backed the new Engine 10 onto the apron. Again there was time given for pictures and admiration of the new rig before the invocation and Blessing were given by the Chaplain Emeritus (he retired after many decades of service with the department this past January). His prayer was beautiful asking that Engine 10 and her crews would be a blessing to the community in their service to it and praying for protection for the crews and citizens they serve. I was very touched by it.
Once that was done, the community was invited to assist in pushing Engine 10 into the bay to begin her career and service. I was first to take position on the front passenger corner and together we all "pushed" as the "B" Shift Chaffeur backed her into place.
It was a beautiful ceremony and not something I will forget for a long time. After it was over, fire fighters and their families, administrators, citizens and the like all visited and shared light refreshments. I made my rounds to the few that I knew and then went home to study.
Here are some facts about the retiring Engine 10 which was also a Darley Pumper on a Spartan Chassis:
Engine 10 has proudly served our city's South End neighborhood since 1996. In it's lifetime it went on nearly 60,000 calls and travelled an amazing 201,428 miles in serving our community.
Some facts I learned about the new Engine 10:
The new Engine 10 is a state of the art fire engine. E-10 has enhanced safety features and is compliant with EPA emission and fuel conservation standards. The electronic pump and valve controls (for regulating the water supply) have been improved and designed to increase dependability and efficiency. Engine 10 is 9 feet 5 inches tall and 31 feet 8 inches long. It has a 1,500 gallon per minute Darley pump and two booster line reels. The Engine carries 30 gallons of foam, 2,500 feet of hose and has a 500 gallon water tank. It also contains a Class A compressed air foam system.
Tuesday after the ceremony I hit the books then went back to work. I came home and hit the books some more before going to bed. Just before going to bed, I did something I really didn't want to do. In fact, I hated to do it, but it was the right thing to do. I used my fire phone and put myself, "Canteen 7" out of service for the next 96 hours. It was not a choice really. Our code is family first, work second (including school) and Buffing third. I will not be able to respond to many fire calls until I finish school. I will be in service when it is appropriate to do so, but this class is definitely my priority. I want to live the dream!
The rest of the week consisted of getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home and studying, going back to work, then on Wednesday and Thursday I went back to school and finally came home to bed. I didn't make it to bed before 11:15 any night this week until Friday night when I came home from work and spent about two hours goofing off (catching up my email, mostly). Then it was back to the books until I went to bed about 11, but I didn't get up until 6. SEVEN WHOLE HOURS!!! WOO HOO! When I got up at six I went back to the books and finshed up preparing for today's class. Today we had lecture for four hours on lifting and moving patients and taking baseline vitals. Then after an hour lunch break we had three more hours of class to practice our skills. Monday will be our first test, both written and practicals. EEK! Class was over at 4:00 but I stayed after when Tom asked for a few volunteers. (I'm not a dummy! When the instuctor asks for volunteers, it is a learning opportunity and I was not about to pass it up!) He had a few of us stay after and participate in a test for a former student who had taken an incomplete last quarter due to some extenuating circumstances. One of us got to be his patient, the victim of a car accident, and the rest of us were part of the student's crew and were directed by him as he took charge of the scene as the EMT.
All in all it has been a very hard, challenging and trying week. I spent many hours studying, few sleeping and pretty much none recreating. I spent mostly driving time praying and did a fair amount of crying in private moments and while talking to God. I am feeling a little better right now and I am still glad I am doing this.
I don't know what I would have done with out all the support I have gotten from you, my team members, my friends, co-workers, family and the families that I serve at work. I am very blessed.
Stay safe, Team!

This Wall Clock Changes Shape When You Walk Around It
Inspired by motion capture techniques used in movies such as Lord Of The Rings and Avatar, designer J.P. Meulendijks has created a wall clock for Plankton, that appears to change shape when looked at from different angles. When you have a closer look, you can see that the numbers on the clock face area made up of little white balls that 'float' at different heights. When you move around the clock, for example side to side, the numbers dissolve and transform into different shapes resulting in an optical illusion, and making the clock appear more as a piece of art than a device to tell time.

Pink Iceland's Mission - Pink Iceland's Passion
Honesty Policy // Human Rights // Representation and Queer Values // Environmental Policies // Responsible Tourism // Guest Responsibilities
Pink Iceland strives to be the country's foremost travel agent, tour operator, event and wedding planner for LGBTQI travelers. Our goal is to always offer an exemplary service, treating our guests with the utmost respect while offering a good quality product.
Pink Iceland has clear policies regarding its responsibilities to environmental and humanitarian issues. These are reflected in the services on offer and the general attitude of the company's owners and staff.
Pink Iceland is, and will remain a beautiful, vibrant, fun and caring place of work where both owners and staff ambitiously work towards offering outstanding services to its guests
Pink Iceland is a privately owned company and as such it needs to make a profit. This profit pays the salaries of its staff, the rent, the wonderful and informative Pink Iceland website not to mention copious amounts of coffee for the owners. Most of Pink Iceland's money is made through commissions. This is how it works: If our guests let us book their tours, activities, and accommodation we collect a small (usually 10-15%) commission of the price. This basically means that you pay the same price, regardless of whether you book directly - or through us. You may think this might cause us to recommend really expensive accommodation and tours. Not so. We promise to do our utmost to come up with a plan that suits you, and your budget. We would never recommend anything without full confidence and/or personal experience of what's on offer. Our primary goal is working with and for the LGBTQI community and without the community's support or goodwill we wouldn't have lasted six months in the business. It is not least through word of mouth that we grow stronger every day. Our hope is that after reading this you too will ask for our recommendations and advice and/or book your holiday through us.
Pink Iceland is founded on the belief that more can be done to welcome LGBTQI visitors to Iceland. We strive to to offer the best available services to our guests, working with suppliers who respect and adhere to human and civil rights.
We at Pink Iceland have committed ourselves to contributing to LGBTQI communities around the world in whatever way we can. This has been done with monetary donations, education about what we've achieved in this country and how we went about it and through on-going volunteer work for Samtökin'78 the national LGBTQI organization in Iceland as well as Reykjavik Pride Week where we offer our time and expertise for various events and causes. We constantly revise our policies, processes and activities and actively work towards implementing these. Our human rights commitments may often go unnoticed but when applicable we update our audience about the work we undertake through our social media outlets and website.
Pink Iceland is founded by lesbian couple and co-owned by a gay man. Full time staff consists of 6 women (3 lesbians, 1 bisexual and 2 straight women) and 3 men (all gay). We contract 4 main guides, two lesbians and two gay men. All of the above are cisgender. Rest assured that everyone under the queer umbrella is welcome, and loved here at Pink Iceland.
We use a lot of different words to describe the community we belong to. Gay, Lesbian, Queer, LGBT, LGBTQI, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA+, etc. We use all of these terms to ensure we're easily found through online searches as different people search for different terms. Rest assured that everyone under the queer umbrella is welcome, and loved here at Pink Iceland.
We have a very strict policy of only using photographs from real tours and weddings, with real people who took part in said tours or weddings. A large part of our clientele consists of gay men, who, it must be said we owe our success to, love you boos!
We do realise that this is a reflection of the world we live in. It showcases which part of our community has it best in terms of privilege, and quite frankly, disposable income. This reality is reflected in imagery we post and share. Our hope is that by working hard towards inclusivity and diversity in our product offering we will see this change, that we will be able to reach a more diverse demographic, i.e. people of colour, queer women and trans and non-binary people, to all of our benefit.
We know we're expensive and that its hard to believe that we subsidise a lot of our queer tours but the fact is, we do. We will continue to offer our cheaper bi-monthly tours as a way to offer a tour service priced at the same level as the bigger bus companies in Iceland. Our hope is that one day we will have enough guests for these tours to stop subsidising them. If you can not afford any of our tours, please let us know and maybe we can help.
We here who own and work at Pink Iceland are aware of our privilege, of the fact that we lead lives that scores of our fellow queers in the world can only dream about. We know we can't behave like any other company, that we have to always be better, more socially aware, active and responsible. We don't always get it right. We've screwed up in the past and will probably do so again, but when we have, the community has pointed this out to us and we've evolved. To those of you who are under-represented in our imagery we encourage you to join our tours, to become a part of the Pink Iceland family and experience the welcoming atmosphere we strive to create in everything we undertake.
The Pink Iceland Team believes we can all make a difference when minimizing our environmental impact. Our goal is to operate according to sustainability principles with regards to environmental, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of tourism. Pink Iceland was the 13th company to be accepted for Vakinn, the Quality and Environmental System for Icelandic Tourism. In order to reach our goal we work according to these Pink Eco steps:
We minimize printed material, relying on web and mobile devices when possible.
We recycle recyclable materials.
We give preference to environmentally safe products and local services.
We give preference to environmentally certified suppliers.
We strive to educate the Pink Team regularly about sustainability
We work according to the guidelines Quality and Environmental System Vakinn
Pink Iceland's sustainability policy is by no means an endpoint but rather a stepping-stone on the long journey to lower our environmental impact and reinforce the local community. This policy is revised annually and updated according to possible internal and/or external changes.
Pink Iceland is proud to be among the 310 companies that have signed a declaration on responsible tourism in Iceland. The purpose of the incentive project is to maintain Iceland's status as an optimal future destination for tourists by supporting sustainability for future generations of the nation.
As a participant Pink Iceland aims to:
Demonstrate exemplary behaviour and respect for nature.
Ensure the safety of guests and treat them courteously.
Respect the rights of employees.
Have a positive impact on the local community.
The goals of Festa the Icelandic Tourist Cluster's promotional efforts are to:
Establish a clear message from companies that they strive to be responsible.
Highlight examples of good practice in sustainability and social responsibility in tourism.
Provide an incentive to companies that have yet to consider sustainability practices and social responsibility.
The declaration has been and will continue to be followed with training programs for companies on CSR and sustainability.
Organisations supporting the project are Festa - The Center of Corporate Social Responsibility and Iceland Tourism in cooperation with Icelandic Tourist Board, SAF The Icelandic Travel Industry Association, Promote Iceland, Stjórnstöð Ferðamála - Tourism Task Force, Regional Marketing Offices of Iceland, City of Reykjavik and Safe Travel.
Pink Iceland has decided to set sustainability development goals with modern needs in mind, without taking away from future opportunities. Pink Iceland does not only see these development goals as a way to protect certain aspects of the industry, such as our fragile nature, but also as a way of encouraging growth in the local community. Sustainable growth within the tourism sector should increase positive awareness and development and at the same time minimalize the negative impact of tourism. The owners and the staff of Pink Iceland pledge to do everything in their power to protect and preserve nature in every area they work in. The impact of Pink Iceland's work is diverse, but we can split the main factors into three groups: economic impact, social- and cultural impact and impact on nature.Our main goals are to fulfill economic-, social- and aesthetical needs in a way that preserves and maintains our culture, human rights, biologic diversity and necessary conditions for survival.
Pink Iceland's door sign
Pink Iceland's dog Smurf

We choose to work with environmentally certified services and products.
We aim to have a positive effect on our local community
We try our best to work with local products and services. When planning our weddings, for example, we always try to use local services (ie. Priests, hairdressers, drivers and musicians) as much as we can.
We use Icelandic products in all of our tours and weddings whether it is donuts, chocolate or music.
Our main focus is on the LGBTQI+ community. We are proud sponsors of Reykjavík Pride, Samtökin '78 (The National LGBT+ Association), Q – Queer Student Association of Iceland, The Queer Choir, DragSúgur, drag performance group, Estranged magazine and queer musicians.
All of our bottles and cans that can be returned for recycling for a deposit are donated to the local Scouts which have set themselves a goal of working against homophobia within their movement.
As our main emphasis is on the human rights of LGBTQI+ people, we have also sponsored international projects which emphasize that queer solidarity should be realized universally .
It is in the DNA of our company to enhance our guests experiences by giving them information about their surroundings.
Pink Iceland hosts numerous events which we try to encourage the queer family to take part in, ie. Rainbow Reykjavík – Winter Pride, Pink Parties and our bimonthly free Pop-up Hygge cozy concerts at the office.
We aim to respect and preserve nature
Pink Iceland recycles all trash accumulated within the company, including biodegradable waste, paper, plastic, glass and metals
Bottles and cans are donated to the Green Scouts, which return them for recycling for a deposit.
All other trash is taken to recycling centres and sorted into respective containters.
The employees at Pink Iceland are encouraged to bring their biodegradable waste to work as we have a specail bin for this waste at our office.
We usereusable coffee filters and the coffee grounds get a new life as a face scrub – that's why we all look so good!
All cleaning products used by Pink Iceland are environmentally certified.
All paper (including copy paper, serviettes and toilet paper) bears the Nordic Swan Ecolabel
We mostly use water for cleaning purposes.
We buy as little as possible in small packages, ie. Our donuts are bought straight from the supplier and come in big packaging
We measure the amount of fossil fuels we are using and carbon offset our tours by taking part in the Kolviður project. We're looking into other carbon offset programs to double our efforts as well as being on the hunt for a zero-emission vehicle to use on our tours.
99% of our promotional material is digital
We only have one printed brochure, which is printed at a Nordic Swan certified printers on environmentally certified paper.

Cholesterol is an important substance produced by the liver which helps maintain a healthy body.
Present in every cell, it aids digestion, generates Vitamin D, and produces hormones.
However, when levels of cholesterol become high, the risk of certain health conditions, including a stroke, heart disease, and a heart attack, increases.
Two Types of Cholesterol
Cholesterol is often spoken of in terms of two different types, 'good' and 'bad'. Cholesterol is an oil-based substance requiring lipoproteins to transport it around the body, and cholesterol present in high-density lipoproteins are the good variety.
They help remove the bad cholesterol which is present within low-density lipoproteins, keeping the blood vessels and arteries from becoming clogged and lessening the hardening of the artery walls.
What is High Cholesterol?
High cholesterol is when you have too much cholesterol in your blood. Certain factors over which you have little control, such as age and genetics, can increase levels of cholesterol.
However, there are a number of lifestyle factors which can lead to this condition also, including a poor diet containing too many fatty foods, lack of exercise, and smoking.
Too much cholesterol leads to blockages in the blood arteries, a process known as atherosclerosis. Plaque forms and hardens over time, stiffening and narrowing the arteries.
As the narrow arteries strain is placed on the heart, it needs to work harder to pump the blood around the body.
Eventually, blood clots may form over these hardened areas of plaque within the arteries, parts of which can break off to become stuck in an artery or vein elsewhere in the body.
Health Issues Associated With High Cholesterol
The build-up of these fatty deposits in the arteries can result in cardiovascular disease, while a blockage in the blood supply to the brain causes a stroke.
Also, as the heart works harder to pump the blood through narrowed arteries, the heart muscle becomes bigger to cope with the extra workload.
However, it will eventually weaken to the point where you may suffer heart failure. Another issue can be peripheral arterial disease, where the arteries feeding the legs and feet are clogged, reducing the level of blood reaching them. This can result in cold and painful feet, particularly when you are walking.
An artery leading to the heart becoming completely blocked, often due to a blood clot forming over the plaque which has been building up, is the leading cause of heart attacks.
The blood supply is cut off by the clot, resulting in part of the heart muscle dying.
A heart attack is a medical emergency which requires immediate medical attention, but early intervention can help remove the blockage. It's important not to confuse a heart attack with cardiac arrest as the two are very different conditions.
Testing Your Cholesterol levels
Although the dangers from too much cholesterol in the blood are severe, there are often no signs to indicate someone is suffering from the condition.
Heart attacks can be sudden, and the best way to be aware is to have regular screenings.
Your doctor may also suggest a test if he suspects your cholesterol may be high due to your age, weight, or lifestyle.
Cholesterol levels are tested with a simple blood test.
Blood is either taken from the arm with a needle (with the results received back within days) or from a finger prick test (where the sample is placed into a machine and the results processed within minutes).
As cholesterol levels can vary daily, you may need to have more than one test before any recommendation going forward is made by your doctor.
Treatment Options
If your test indicates your cholesterol is too high, there are a number of ways your doctor may advise to help you reduce it.
These could involve changes to your lifestyle, including giving up smoking, reducing your alcohol intake, increasing exercise, and eating a healthier diet.
A reduction in eating certain fatty foods will be the focus, and your doctor will be able to advise on healthy foods to eat. Losing any excess weight will also be recommended.
If lifestyle changes do not reduce your cholesterol level sufficiently, or your risk from heart disease is already high, your doctor may suggest statins - these work by slowing down the production of cholesterol in the liver.

Updated at 11:26 a.m. 11-6-2019: A notice to withdraw suspension was filed on Wednesday, November 6, in the Buena Vista County case.
Charges of driving under suspension filed against Beth Ann Vogt, a 2nd Ward candidate in the November 5 municipal election, were dismissed today by Judge William W. Ranniger, according to postings to Iowa Courts Online.
Vogt had been arrested in Denison on October 29 for driving while under suspension.
At the time of the arrest, notices of suspension had been filed in Pottawattamie County on September 3, in Buena Vista County on October 27 and in Crawford County on October 29.
Notices to withdraw suspension of driving privileges were filed today in Pottawattamie County and the $148.50 in fines, costs and surcharges on file in Buena Vista County were listed as paid today.
Vogt appeared at 9 a.m. today at the Crawford County Courthouse. Earlier today she said in a text statement to the Denison Bulletin and Review that her case would be dismissed contingent upon showing a valid license by December 6.
A filing in the Crawford County case today notes the proof of a valid license.
For Pottawattamie County, a posting on Iowa Courts Online shows that $120 was paid on Monday, November 4, toward a fine, costs and surcharges totaling $566.25 on a citation for failure to provide proof of financial liability issued on May 1. The details say the collection by the county attorney met the threshold.
The other citation in Pottawattamie County, issued on May 1 by the City of Council Bluffs, was for speeding 1-5 miles over the posted limit.
In her statement, Vogt continued, "I am waiting on the usual red tape at Pottawattomie (sic) County so my finalization of this insanity will be moved forward. I am being told that will be done by Friday per the Pottawattomie County Attorney's Office."
She added that what transpired was "nothing more than a debacle full of political games, red tape, & miscommunication between myself & the County Attorney's office in Pottawattomie County."
Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber said in a phone interview with the Denison Bulletin and Review that he was not aware of any miscommunications or anything of that nature.
"I know people get frustrated how long the process takes. As you can imagine we get a lot of people that show up and want their driver's license. They fill out the paperwork and we'll get to you in order," he said.
He explained that the $120 paid toward the fine in Pottawattamie County would be an initial payment that an individual would have to enter before the payment plan goes into effect.
Wilber explained the court process on citations. If a person cited does not pay the fine and does not show up in court by the specified date, he or she is found guilty. He said that is not unusual. If the fine is not paid within 60 days, the clerk automatically sends out a notice to the Department of Transportation to suspend the driving privileges.
He added that his office or the city attorney for Council Bluffs wouldn't be involved in that process.

Pakistan and India have cheap labour too, so how is Bangladesh surpassing them?
Lisbon, Portugal, is a scenic and hilly city which has preserved its old Christian traditions and has a hint of romance to it. It's also rare to come across any South Asians there, unless it's a Bangladeshi. So is the case in Madrid, Spain, where I lived for some time. From the deserts of Saudi Arabia to the concrete jungle of New York, wherever I have travelled in the world, I have always come across Bangladeshi people. After some research, I have found out that my chance encounters with Bangladeshis in every nook and corner of the world were ...Read Full Post
Travelling the world amongst the roaring sea: Memories of a Pakistani sailor
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Aspiring for a career and finally achieving employment is a blessing for anyone. When I was young, my dream, like many other kids, was to roam around the world, to see far off places and to experience different cultures. One practical way to achieve my goal was to join the Merchant Marine. At a young age of 17, when one is full of hope and ambition, I finally had the selection letter tucked gleefully in my pocket after a gruelling selection process. It was a pleasant February afternoon in 1974 when I joined the ...Read Full Post
The Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme is a great initiative, but can it survive the curse of corruption?
In keeping with the theme of 'change', the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government recently launched the Naya Pakistan Housing Programme, aiming to build five million homes in five years. It is evident from the very start that a project of this magnitude will require a lot more input than just land, which the government will be providing. And while they say they will not be involved in construction directly, arranging funds to provide basic amenities to residents alone will be a herculean task. We have launched our most ambitious, landmark housing policy of building 5mn homes in 5 yrs. InshaAllah this ...Read Full Post
Crazy Rich Asians may not be Oscar-worthy but it definitely is as captivating as it is entertaining
As I walked into a packed theatre in Birmingham, Michigan one evening, I was somewhat excited to see so many local 'white Americans' and 'African Americans' gathered to watch a film about 'Asian Americans' aka 'immigrants'. Our stories do matter, after all. Technically, I am also an Asian American; South Asian American to be specific. The movie Crazy Rich Asians is specified as a comedy, but according to my humble opinion, it is more of a comedic satire. A bold sarcasm on the handful of 'brand conscious', 'wealth managed' crazy rich people who are found not only in Singapore (where ...Read Full Post
Political parties are promising jobs in their manifestos but snub education – how does that work?
Pakistan has one of the largest youth population in the world. Forty-six million of these will be voting for the first time in about two weeks; a number that is by no means small. To put it into perspective, if these voters were a country, they would be the 30th largest country in the world in terms of population. They will most likely vote for the party that has promised them jobs, and no one can fault that logic because jobs get you money and as we all know, money makes the world go around. But there is a slight ...Read Full Post

"Oh, it's just a small cut so why are you complaining?" Those are the words of Filzah Sumartono from AWARE – a group dedicated to women's rights – when she tries to talk about the taboo subject with members of her community. It is astounding that people avoid this topic with a wave of the hand, branding it as a "small cut" especially when the effects of such a procedure can be damaging – both physically and mentally. According to Orchid Project, girls and women can suffer from emotional distress throughout their lives, not to mention having feelings of fear, helplessness, ...Read Full Post
Oman's inspiring cricket journey
Oman's meteoric rise in international cricket took the world by surprise, much like Afghanistan's. It all began during the Asian Cricket Council T20 Cup. Relentless prayers back home finally went answered in 2014 as Afghanistan took on the big names in the Asia Cup. Photo AFP Oman entered the World T20 2016 qualifier as the underdog, was ranked 16th in the world and was up against some of the Associate heavyweights. With nothing to lose, Oman played for the thrill of the game. After suffering an early defeat at the hands of Kenya, Oman went on to beat the much experienced Netherlands, Afghanistan and ...Read Full Post

There are expats and then there are people like me, returnees. I'm going to take a literary liberty – without meaning to offend any intellectuals – and call myself an 'inpat'. I think people like me deserve a special made-up name. Mine is a story like many others. I went to London 25 years ago to study and it took me that long to return. Not because I was particularly dumb and took 25 years to finish my education, but because the rat race rollercoaster of life took over. To cut a long story short, after 13 years in London ...Read Full Post
I am the daughter of a man who served in PIA for 37 years
In wake of PIA's possible privatisation, a lot of people have taken to social media to give their two cents worth. Fair enough, it is a debate of public interest. However, most of the statuses I have read are targeted towards PIA's employees – not the organisation as a whole, but the employees alone. Facebook statuses and subsequent comments have said things like, "Good for nothing (employees)", "Useless employees", "They are being overpaid", and "Now who would want to lose a job which pays even when you are sleeping." I am the daughter of a man who served for 37 years in PIA. All of my life, my father ...Read Full Post
#ProfileForPeace defeats the mind games Shiv Sena tried to play by using Malala
Sometimes it is easy to forget the bond between Pakistan and India. Growing up in the Middle East, I had a number of Indian friends, and there was never an ounce of animosity between us, except of course, during a Pakistan-India cricket match. During one of these events, the passive aggressive jokes were as bare knuckled as they could get. We took great pleasure in beating the Indian cricket team during matches at Sharjah, while they enjoyed returning the favour at World Cup events. But even during these hot moments, empathy somehow found its way. After Pakistan was decisively beaten by India ...Read Full Post

Mark 7:37
What a testimony the people of the 1st century said of our Lord Jesus Christ, that 'He has done everything well'. The people were overwhelmed with amazement as Jesus did the good works in which His Father gave him to do. Jesus, in everything he does, does it well.
Do you not believe this doctrine my fellow creatures? Then let me walk you through his life and you will indeed see that He does all things well.
He was born to a carpenter, a man of no reputation, poor in status. At twelve years old we find him in Jerusalem in His Father's house sitting among the elites of the religious order. He sat among them listening to them and asking them questions. He not only listened but also answered their questions and such was the answers that He gave that everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and answers. Here we see that even at twelve, being a mere boy that Jesus does all things well. (Luke 2:41-51).
Jesus began His ministry with a baptism from John the Baptist. Many before Jesus had been baptized by John, but when Jesus was being baptised, as he was coming up out of the water, John saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven saying: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" Mark 1:9-11. You see, even in baptism, Jesus does all things well.
The ministry of Jesus could be summed up in his manifesto, "The time has come, the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news". Here, he would walk the dusty streets of Israel for three years with his gang of disciples, doing miraculous signs and wonders, speaking such words that even his enemies dared not to question him further. The demons trembled at his sight, the wind obeyed his voice, the dead rise, the blind made to see, the stranger welcomed to his company, the proud silenced, the kids blessed, the woman liberated, sinners forgiven, the hungry fed, his disciples transformed apart from Judas whom he had perfectly picked to achieve his purpose. You see, in all things Jesus does all things well.
Now we embark on that bitter Friday, where Judas' purpose on being a disciple was all for this very hour; to betray his master. In that solemn garden, with many soldiers as if they were coming for a murderer, Judas led the way as fitting for a son of perdition and kissed his Lord. But he knew not that Jesus does all things well and Judas is simply fulfilling the sacred scriptures in which our Lord Jesus is the author of, for the scriptures testify about Him. Zechariah writes, 'So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said to me, "throw it to the potter"- the handsome price at which they valued me' Zechariah 11:12-13. Judas sold our precious Lord Jesus for thirty pieces of silver for that was how much he valued his Lord, the Holy one of Israel. Even in betrayal, Jesus does all things well.
In our Lord's trial, the whole chief priest and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death but they did not find any. They scuffled and howled, leaving no corners unturned in order to find a piece of condemning evidence, but in all the earth, none could be found. They lied and cheated, for they loved the darkness and hate the light, till finally they condemned him by the truth which came out from the mouth of our Lord Jesus. For Jesus gladly said that I am the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven, (Mark 14:55-62). You see, even in his trial, Jesus does all things well.
We behold the man on the tree, facing the people who once hailed him with Hosannas. And we see a crown of thorns on his head, three pierced nails nailing him to his cross; blood flowing from his head to his feet, two thieves at his side, He was thirsty and they gave him vinegar, the soldiers mocked him, they insulted him, the crowds adamant for his crucifixion. And we behold the man on the tree with the marred face, looking with sorrowful eyes at pain not his own, and dared to utter the words, 'Father forgive them'. He glared up into heaven and gave up is spirit to His beloved Father. The centurion who saw all this (that is how Jesus died), remarked that 'surely this man was the Son of God!'. Will this not also be your cry after the survey you have just witnessed. Are you not yet convinced that Jesus does all things well. Isaiah tells us the deeper meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus, and that it was all for you. For Jesus took up your infirmities and carried your sorrows, but you may consider him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted. But neigh; he was wounded for your sins, yea, your blackest sins, and was crushed for your iniquities. He endured such opposition from sinful men for your sake. The punishment that brings you peace was upon him, and by his wounds you are healed. You are like a sheep who has gone astray, turned to his own way and God laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all.(Isaiah 53). You see even in his cross, He does all things well.
But there is one more event to be mentioned, and this of all events, crowns his victory. This event, he does perfectly well and only in the end of the ages will such marvellous works be displayed again. Although the devil and his sons had crucified Jesus, they knew not that Jesus does all things well. For in three days, the tomb which held captive the body of Jesus, will be broken out of by the resurrected Christ. For Jesus had risen, he conquered death for death could not hold him. The life in our Lord was too delightful for the bitterness of death, His love too overwhelming and his power too great. He arose in the dawn of the morning like the sun and his opened eyes sparked a tremendous rejoicing among all the low and high creatures who delight in the glory of God. Even in death, Jesus does all things well. Will you not also be amazed, will you not also be in wonder? And today will you not commit thyself to the one who does all things well. Can you say that about any other captain, or about any other Lord's. But we can with confidence say it about Jesus, that He does all things well!.
There are many more things that could be spoken of here, for example, Jesus is a perfect saviour, a perfect sanctifier, a perfect redeemer, and also the good shepherded, who brings all of his sheep to the green pastures although their path may at times be rocky and at times they may fall in the waves of the river, yet the good shepherded brings all of his sheep home. So if you are a sheep of our Lord today, dance with overwhelming confidence that He will bring you home. Jesus has done all things well.

When I am around my friend Renee, I feel that wonderful things are going to happen. Perhaps it's her quick sense of humor and easygoing affection. Regardless, it's great fun to be around her.
Some people make me hopeful, because of their sheer determination to make the world a better place. That's how she is, and the funny thing is that she makes the world a better place just by showing up.
Renee and I were talking about the future and what we would want it to be like. I want many of the typical things: to exercise more regularly, to learn to play a musical instrument, to watch what I eat, and to love what I do. We talked about the fact that all of these desires can be met. None depends on anyone else. The future is liberating.

The plastic alignment tabs are not where they needed to be. After pulling them out with a vise-grips the bolt holes lined up fine. The new supplied bolts with the mount did not thread into the holes nicely at all so I reused the old ones. Other than that this appears to be a good product so far. Can't speak for the longevity as they have only been on for a couple thousand miles but I have heard good things from the car world and had great luck with Moog products in the past. These are not made in the USA like some other Moog products which was disappointing to see.

Unfortunately, I have had bad luck with this part. The factory part lasted over 100,000 miles and I have had two of these mounts fail in approximately 25,000 miles. In both cases, the part started making noise within the first 2,000 miles. Were it not for the free part replacement, I would not consider buying this part again.
