After more than two years, several water-pressure problems and two extended deadlines, the town's controversial backflow-prevention ordinance implementation deadline is set for Tuesday, June 30.
Or is it?
After learning that approximately 331 town water users have yet to install a backflow-prevention device before the deadline, Mayor Lee Rothenberg requested that the ordinance be discussed at the Town Commission's 2 p.m. Thursday, June 18 regular workshop.
"We need to look at how many still need to be done, what their circumstances are and collectively decide what to do about it," Rothenberg said.
Rothenberg made the request at the Monday, June 1 regular meeting, after Commissioner Peter O'Connor suggested that a certified letter sent out to non-compliant water users was "rather threatening."
The letter warns water customers that if a backflow-prevention device isn't installed by the end of the month, the town may shut off their water after 14 days.
Said O'Connor: "I implore the town manager that before we implement the actions of this ordinance, we be absolutely certain our data is correct."
The Longboat Observer obtained a list of the non-compliant water users. Nine homeowners and business owners out of 17 who were contacted by The Observer said they were either in the process of installing a backflow-prevention device or already had one installed.
Although some of the data on the list is incorrect, Public Works Director Juan Florensa said there's a good reason for it.
"Some residents pulled permits for backflows months ago, but their plumber never turned in a completion of work certification form to the Planning, Zoning and Building Department," Florensa said. "We are finding that there may be less people in non-compliance than we originally thought, and that's a good thing."
Despite the decrease in non-compliance, some commissioners are concerned about the strict requirements of the ordinance, especially at a time when many Key residents have left for the summer months.
The Town Commission unanimously agreed to extend the ordinance deadline to June 30 after hearing in December that 1,141 water users had yet to install one or more backflow-prevention devices on their property.
The controversial ordinance — which has been under review and discussed since 2007 before being approved last year — will implement a routine control system Key-wide to detect and manage water cross-connections and prevent the backflow of contaminants into the town's water system.
The ordinance, created to comply with federal and state health department standards, calls for all town water users who don't have a backflow-prevention device to install one or face fines of up to $250 per day.
But the commission agreed to change the fine from $250 per day to $50 per day last year after staff reported that a water user could easily accrue $3,500 in 14 days before the town could shut the water off.
But, although the fines have been reduced, shutting the water off to vacant homes is still allowed.
"The danger could be that some of these people are gone for the summer, and they will come back to brown lawns," O'Connor said.
Florensa, however, said certified letters were sent to the properties in question and the address on record for each property owner.
Florensa also said that at the end of the month, his staff would be visiting each home to confirm whether a backflow-prevention device is in place.
"We will make every effort to help property owners comply before starting the clock for fines and water shutoffs," Florensa said. "We are doing our best to help every resident and business owner."
Residents and business owners can also ask for personal extensions, as long as they are making an effort to comply with the ordinance.
Don Roberts, owner of The Centre Shops, and Howard Rooks, owner of Avenue of the Flowers Town Plaza II, were glad to hear that.
Both business owners are still getting quotes for multiple backflow-prevention devices that are needed on their properties.
"I have to come up with more than $3,000 worth of backflows for The Centre Shops," said Roberts, who said a jackhammer will have to break up one of his concrete sidewalks to perform the work. "It's an unexpected expense in a tough economic climate."
Despite the issues that remain as the deadline approaches, Commissioner George Spoll hopes that the deadline is not extended for a third time.
"I got a lot of criticism from people who installed backflows and didn't like that we gave out extensions," Spoll said. "If we keep extending this, we will lose credibility."
After more than two years, several water-pressure problems and two extended deadlines, the town's controversial backflow-prevention ordinance implementation deadline is set for Tuesday, June 30.

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in Swindon? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
How To Start A Buy To Let Investment Property Business Or Portfolio | Your First Four Houses
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in Swindon the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in Swindon who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Swindon Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Swindon Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Swindon will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Swindon around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Swindon remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
Welcome to Property Investments UK,and today we're going to be looking at a couple of client's questions.
This one is regardinghow to best work out rental demand, so if the property is going to be popular when youcome to rent it out.
The question is "Hi, Rob.
Hope you're well.
Just a quick question.
What is the best way to work out rental demand?" There's a couple of ways to do this, whetheryou're looking at maybe single lets or HMOs which are classed as houses of multiple occupation.
They're slightly different, you see, depending on how you're looking to see what the levelof demand in a particular area for those types of listings.
The first way is to simply checkhow many listings there are in an area and how long they've been on the market for.
Ifa property's been on the market for a long time, available to let, it might be somethingto do with that property or it might be an indication that in the area, there might be toomuch supply and not enough demand, so it might not be the best of area to currently buy inor you need to do something slightly different with your property strategy in terms of providinga slightly different type of property or different standard or property to make sure yours isrented over and above anyone else's.
Essentially you're looking to see how much propertiesthere are in an area and how long they've been on the market.
That's key for not only properties that arecurrently showing as lives, properties that are available to let, but it's also good tohave a look at properties that have currently lets, so when you're looking at Rightmove andZoopla, they're the two main property portals you'll probably be using on a day to day basis,you can check on there or tick a filter that gives you access to properties that have "LetAgreed" on it.
If you do a property search in your chosen area, so whether that's Manchesteror Liverpool or London, whatever the location might be, and tick "Property" or "Let Agreed"it'll give you an indication of how active that property market is and how many of thoseproperties.
If you're showing 50 property listings and only 2 of those are let agreedthan maybe there's a bit too much supply.
If you're showing 50 listings and 20, 30,40 of those are let agreed, then you can have a bit more confidence and more active demandor buoyant area.
One thing Rightmove and Zoopla will also showyou is how long the listing has been live, so you can see when that listing first cameon the market.
For example if you're checking listings in March and the listings showingwas 1st of January or was 2nd of January, you know it'd been on the market for a coupleof months.
That's probably an indication that the market isn't that buoyant.
As we saidearlier it might be a problem with that particular property, either the description, the photos,or the type of listing, but I'd also look at not just one property but a couple of otherdifferent listings in that area to see if maybe is actually the area.
There's just notas much demand for rental properties.
Obviously the key thing to look for is thelowest listing time possible, so if you're in a very buoyant area those properties willbe coming on the market and then getting rented very quick.
If they're only on the marketfor a couple of days, perfect.
If it's a couple of weeks, that's generally okay.
That's probablyactive for most locations around the UK.
If it's been on for a couple of months then that'sprobably an indication that it's not as quite an active area.
When it comes to HMOs we tend to use slightlydifferent property portals, so Rightmove and Zoopla is fantastic for straight forward vanillabuy to lets to check that kind of rental demand, but the majority of listings for HMOs or sharedaccommodation, individual rooms, is going to be using the main website if the momentis Spare Room.
You look for something similar.
You look for the level of listings, the amountof kind of demand and supply within these particular areas and how long listings havebeen live for.
You just follow the same kind of process just use probably slightly differentportals.
For straightforward vanilla buy to lets, Rightmove and Zoopla are great.
If you'relooking at HMOs then Spare Room is great, so hopefully that helps give you a bit ofan indication of how to check the rental demand in any particular area.

What Is A Corporate Buy To Let?
Hi I'm James Hill from The Locks Heath Property Blog and this is my Buy to Let Deal of the Week.
Now here I am in Lawson Close in Lower Swanwick where Walker & Waterer have just listed a three bedroom terraced house for offers in excess of £240,000.
Now it looks in really good condition with very little to do in order to get your first tenant.
As you can see from the photos it's got a recently refitted kitchen, a nice modern bathroom and what looks like recently fitted carpets throughout.
In today's rental market this property would rent out around £950 per calendar month.
If we times that rent by twelve to give us the annual rent and divide that by the asking price, in this instance £240,000, it gives us a nice healthy yield of 4.
As I said, this is a really good opportunity to snap this property up so get in touch with the guys at Walker and Waterer and they'll be happy to show you around.
If you want any further information about the Locks Heath property market give me a call on 01489 570011.
I'll see you soon.

There are students in Rochester who are looking for a meaningful career in the trades, but because of a giant barrier, they are unable to learn the skills necessary to get one.
That barrier is the absence of a state-recognized career and technical education diploma.
It isn't because we aren't trying. We recently helped to create legislation for an additional New York State high school diploma—a CTE Regents diploma—which is working its way through the Legislature. Passage of the legislation and implementation of the program will expand academic options for our students and be an equally important benefit for the economy of our region.
As we know, the number of middle-skills jobs in Rochester is growing at an exponential rate. Some of the area's major projects—including Midtown revitalization, College Town at the University of Rochester and the Rochester City School District's facilities modernization project—have created and will create hundreds of opportunities for employment in the construction industry over the next decade.
So what's the problem?
Studies by Monroe Community College and other institutions show a serious lack of skilled workers to fill the number of jobs available—what has been called the "skills gap."
Our solution to the skills gap is to offer current high school students the necessary training for the skilled workforce—a career and technical education. Under the plan, students would be exposed to various trade skill programs, allowing them to get a better understanding of how the demands match their abilities.
Upon completion of the program, students will receive a CTE diploma, and then they will advance to apprenticeship programs and to satisfying, successful careers.
This program is designed to complement, not compete with, the current model that requires all students to earn a Regents diploma. It will focus the students on the Regents design of the educational model by incorporating instruction based on the skills needed for the trade.
For example, we know that an electrician needs an understanding of mathematics, physics and material science chemistry, so those areas will be included in the lesson plan and not handled as separate pieces of unrelated information.
Under the proposed CTE legislation, we believe that these changes will allow the student to find success in the classroom and will ensure the programs operate in a manner that will increase the success and graduation rates for the school districts.
In January, Superintendent Bolgen Vargas commissioned a study regarding the status of CTE programs in the Rochester City School District. This study was prepared by a New York-based company that provides recommendations for high school CTE programs. In committing to this study, Vargas has proved his commitment to CTE in the school district. The time for change is now. The recommendations in the study will work in conjunction with a new CTE Regents diploma.
The success of our economy, our city and our education system are forever linked. With the passage of the legislation creating a CTE diploma, we could begin to train students to be skilled workers with meaningful careers. The future of our families depends on it.

Akademy 2010 in Tampere, Finland
The KDE community is proud to announce the location of next year's Akademy: Tampere, Finland. Akademy is the yearly world conference held by the KDE community to celebrate the Free Software desktop and work towards the future of KDE.
After a successful Akademy 2009 on the Canary Islands, as part of the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit, Akademy heads north to the birthplace of Linux where contributors will enjoy the midnight sun as they spend a week to present, plan and participate in the development of KDE software.
Akademy 2010 will be organized by COSS, the Finnish Centre for Open Source Solutions in cooperation with KDE e.V. "We were happy to meet Mr. Ilkka Lehtinen at GCDS," says Sebastian Kügler, board member of KDE e.V., "and we spent some time discussing what really goes into Akademy to make it such a vibrant event." The conference is planned for late June or early July, and announcements will be made when the date is finalized and contributors to the Free Software desktop can start to make their summer plans.
Cornelius Schumacher, president of KDE e.V., says of the coming conference, "it will be great to show our technology in new areas and to reach out to the business community and Finland in particular with this Akademy. The release of KDE 4.5 is scheduled around Akademy in 2010 and it will be a good moment to look back at the road from KDE 4.0 to stability, beauty and elegance."
Sorry, no midnight sun in Tammerfors
Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no midnight sun in Tammerfors, which is only at 61.5° N. Midnight sun begins at the arctic circle at 66.56° N, where it lasts 1 night (the midsummer night). The further north, the longer it lasts (half the year at the north pole).
By odalman at Fri, 2009/09/04 - 6:58pm
Daylight Savings Time
Well, if you account for daylight-savings time, there might indeed by sun at mignight, even if there isn't 24h sun.
By carewolf at Mon, 2009/09/07 - 11:34am
Well, officially you need to go over the city of Oulu to see the sun stays always on sky. But even under the Tampere, there does not come dark. The Sun goes down for 15-20 minutes just under littlebit under horisont, but still shines everything nicely.
For those who lives on mid-european (france, germany) or on same level, for them it is still something to see.
In short, Tervetuloa tampereelle (Welcome to tampere)

This is a two part question to avoid making two seperate threads to keep things, with hope, more simple...
1) What is the consensus at present time about "the look" from contact printing a 5X7 or larger piece of film vs. scanning the film and printing it off the inkjet?
2) I have read probably way too many threads on digital scanners, with too many different views. Of course the Epson V750, Microtek 1800, etc. scanners are said to be either comparable/just as good as a drum scan (especially since these files go into extensive photoshop anyhow) OR they are greatly inferior and more importantly "limited" to final output print size. In other words, the drum scan will allow, say, an 8X10 negative to be enlarged to 40X60, whereas a flatbed would be limited and should not be used to more than 16X20 (usually said about 4X5 scanning, but seemingly applicable to any size film since it is clipping at a certain size so it doesn't matter what size the film is due to the scanner's "limiting threshold". At the same time, I have heard people say the flatbeds can indeed produce massive prints with zero distortion/grain/and perfect clarity, etc. So my question here is, what do people that have had "extensive" experience with the highest end flatbeds such as the V750/Microtek/etc. have to say about what can be achieved with them AND if film size makes any difference (i.e. if there is the threshold factor with respect to the scanner's limitation=no reason to bother with 8X10 other than to keep grain minimized if doing b/w and 4X5).
Hope this all makes sense and it will spark some interesting conversation about where things are at in this day of age with regards to "the final print".

Water Can't Put Out A Fire-Ant Raft
You've seen ants. Thousands of them. And most of the time, you've seen them in colonies, living as a group. But have you seen them float as a group? Apparently a single fire ant will struggle in water, but a cluster of them can bob happily for months. A new study has used time lapse photography to figure out why — and how — that is.
The above fire ants, or Solenopsis invicta, have evolved so remarkably, that they can self-assemble into structural tools utilized by the entire colony. They have been known to build ladders, chains and walls — out of themselves — that ensure their colony remains intact.
To survive a flood, for example, they can link in a matter of seconds by mandibles, tarsal claws, and adhesive pads on their feet — to form, in essence, a raft. In short: by joining this way the ants are able to decrease their mean density as a whole and become a buoyant raft; if left alone they would sink.
Sightings of ant rafts were reported following flooding from Hurricane Katrina. These findings may contribute to future technologies for floating devices and waterproof materials.

Shellie Zimmerman, attorney hold news conference in Orlando
Wife of George Zimmerman speaks out for 1st time since domestic incident
ORLANDO, Fla. – Shellie Zimmerman and her attorney held a news conference to discuss the alleged domestic disturbance incident with her estranged husband, George Zimmerman.
[READ: Police report | DASH CAM VIDEO: Zimmerman in cuffs | VIDEO: Surveillance released | Shellie holds news conference | PICS: Zimmerman apprehended | Zimmerman questioned | AUDIO: 911 call ]
Attorney Kelly Sims started off the news conference by apologizing to Shellie Zimmerman, Lake Mary police and the "rest of the world" for not calling police in the first place to retrieve her belongings from the home shared by the Zimmermans.
Sims then gave a play-by-play of what events led to the Monday incident, reading text messages between Shellie and George. Sims said that George Zimmerman was at the home when Shellie was trying to move things out, taking pictures and not saying anything.
Sims said Shellie and George had an agreement that they wouldn't be at the house together at the same time, but George still "showed up" to the home on Sprucewood Road even though he "knew he wasn't supposed to be there."
After Shellie called authorities, police were investigating and George Zimmerman did not give police surveillance video but later relented after his attorney arrived, Sims said.
Sims also said that George Zimmerman had recently purchased new "junior G-man" shoulder holster and his shirt was open, so Shellie Zimmerman feared a gun.
"Shellie had valid reason why she believed George was armed," Sims said, adding that Shellie wants her divorce "to end with a whimper, not with a bang."
Sims also described Shellie Zimmerman's life since George's July 2013 acquittal in Travyon Martin's death as like the "Tower of Terror," but said that neither Shellie, nor George want to press charges and that Shellie is not seeking an injunction.
"I hope Mr. Zimmerman stays away. Shellie will stay away," Sims said, adding that George Zimmerman brought his bodyguard and another woman to the house.
Police released the report earlier Wednesday detailing what Shellie Zimmerman claims happened and what George Zimmerman claims happened.
At an earlier news conference Wednesday, police said the focus of the investigation is the video from Shellie Zimmerman's broken iPad, which was recording the incident as it happened. Police said it may take months to get the video out of the destroyed iPad.
The incident came days after Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce and discussed her relationship with George Zimmerman during a TV interview.
George Zimmerman is still legally allowed to carry a weapon.
Since being acquitted in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has been pulled over twice for speeding.
Lake Mary is located about 20 miles north of Orlando and 5 miles southwest of Sanford, where Zimmerman fatally shot Martin.

A common pre-draft sentiment regarding Johnny Manziel had the Texas A&M quarterback playing a Fran Tarkenton-type in the NFL.
In a Friday appearance on the (award-winning) "Around The League Podcast," NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks shared a conversation with one league executive who believes Manziel is likely to remind us of a more recent NFC passer.
"(The executive) said, 'Envision Johnny Manziel playing like Jeff Garcia in San Francisco rather than the Doug Flutie or Fran Tarkenton comparison,'" Brooks said. "Think about how Jeff Garcia played at his prime, at his best when Steve Mariucci was there. That's how I can see Johnny Manziel playing in the National Football League."
Brooks believes some of the misconceptions about Manziel's future come from incorrect assumptions about new Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
"I think when you look at what Kyle Shanahan has done, he has experience in the West Coast offense from his time with Gary Kubiak in Houston," Brooks said, echoing the thoughts of another league executive. "I envision that offense looking very much like the Houston Texans' offense looked. When you have a lot of boot, rollout action, a lot of stretch runs.
"When you look at the two running backs they have: Terrance West and Ben Tate, both of those guys come out of the zone-based running game. So as I'm connecting the dots, it leads me to believe they're going to run the zone-based system and they're going to have Johnny Manziel always sneak out the back door."
The Garcia comparison is an intriguing one. In his San Francisco heyday, Garcia was one of the most productive quarterbacks in football, a truth that feels strangely forgotten.
If Manziel becomes the early aughts version of Garcia, the Browns will have -- at long last -- found their franchise quarterback.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" predicts 2014 starting lineups and talks insider goodness with Bucky Brooks.

This is a primitive cat that I picked up for $3.00 at a thrift store. I found one just like it on ebay sell for $1000.00. They called it Sewer Tile Folk Art. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I haven't been able to find one on ebay since other than those not glazed.
It is 8" tall and 7" at the base. What do you think Mike? Is this a good pick?

Hand-carved ivory figures from antiquity are very valuable, both historically and monetarily. When deciding to spend a half-million dollars for one ivory art piece, all parties involved want to make sure it is authentic. From private collectors to Sotheby's, prospective buyers often call in Penn State's own fake buster, Anthony Cutler, Evan Pugh Professor of Art History, to determine if the carved ivory is real or a forgery.
According to Cutler, there has been a recent increase in ivory forgeries because of their potential high economic value. "Ivory is the second hardest organic substance and thus extremely difficult to carve intricate details," explains Cutler. "Plus ivory itself has become rare with hunting of elephants and whales banned in most countries. Many people who are in the business of carving ivory today make very little money for their efforts, except when they sell forgeries." In the current market where 99 percent of ivory being sold is identifiable as forgery, Cutler's expertise is in great demand.
Flown around the world to review one-of-a-kind works of ivory, Cutler personally examines each piece to find the minutest discrepancies that would mark the ivory as a fake. Comparing the ivory piece in question to what he knows about the carving methods of its alleged period in history, Cutler can spot details that are not consistent. Finding discrepancies requires an extensive knowledge of the original piece. For example, Figure 1 is the real sixth-century imperial diptych representing empress Ariadne, currently in a museum in Florence, Italy. Figure 2 is a forgery. There are numerous glaring differences between the two, making this forgery easy to spot. Most are not so obvious. The forgers are often skilled artists and can capture even the tiniest detail.
Sometimes the clue to whether the piece is real or false is hidden on the back or sides, where the unique shape and growth patterns of the animal's tusk are more visible. It is here that the skill and tools of sixth-century carvers will contrast with modern techniques. The forgers may duplicate the front of the work of art perfectly but miss crucial details on the back.
Cutler is recognized as a world authority in Byzantine studies, particularly in the specialized area of carved ivories. When not solving the mysteries of ivory forgeries, he is unraveling the complex cultural exchanges of an interdisciplinary approach including art history and anthropology to decipher the cultural history.
Cutler attributes his extensive awareness of ancient ivory to his many decades in studying forgeries. "An understanding of the means by which a carved ivory statuette, box, or plaque comes into being is normally not considered integral to its aesthetic appreciation or the comprehension of its intellectual content," Cutler explains. "… Such information not only can elucidate its origins and history, including its occasional reworking, but also can be instrumental in the identification of modern forgeries."
