The Town of El Paso is located nearly in the center of Pierce County, WI. It is bordered on the West by the Town of Ellsworth, on the East by the Town of Rock Elm, on the North, by the Town of Gilman, and on the South by the Town of Salem. The Town of El Paso has one small village named El Paso, which is usually a quite town with the exception of the third weekend of August, at which time the annual El Paso Days celebration takes place. Then the tiny hamlet swells to perhaps 2,000 people! There are games for all ages, a horse pull, a horseshoe tournament, and a greased pig contest, all topped off with a grand parade and dancing.
The river that flows through the Town of El Paso is the Rush River. There are a few creeks. They are Brush Creek, Cave Creek, and Lost Creek. The river and creek valleys are picturesque places to visit. There are farms situated on the rolling hills as well as the homes of many people that commute to work.
The regular town board meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 PM at the town hall. There is a portion of this meeting set aside for public input. If you wish to have an item put on the agenda please call the Town Chair or alternately the Town Clerk. Notices for the meetings are published in the Pierce County Herald.
The Annual Town meeting is held every Spring on the third Tuesday in April. At the town meeting the voting residents of the Town of El Paso can inspect the Financial Report of the previous year and raise concerns regarding the town.
The Budget Hearing is held in November of each year. Town residents are encouraged to attend for input and information.

Summer Shorts: PLASTIC PIECES
I can't even with how incredible this idea is. Rob Kristoffersen has a singular mind, and misses nothing.
by Robert Kristoffersen
In a circle sat seven individuals, all here for healing.
All of them suffered from the traumatic nature of being a toy.
Where imagination was encouraged in the human race, these seven
were the means by which the children of the world experimented.
To them, it was utterly terrifying, but that was their purpose
and the being(s) that made them consciously aware, what kind of
sick joke was that?
"Before we begin this Toys Support Group meeting, we should
begin with the healing mantra. Let's all say it together."
A humanoid shaped – a plastic man headed up these meetings.
His reputation among the toy community was the same as his name
and his appearance: Clean. Height wise, he appeared to be godlike
to fellow toys. He towered over Barbie by a good six inches
or so. His white pants and shirt were…

text: Legionnaires Outbreak In Stoke-On-Trent: Number Of Victims Rises To At Least Nine Legal Experts Representing Victims Voice Their Initial Concerns 25.07.2012 Illness experts at Irwin Mitchell who are representing dozens of victims of Legionnaires' Disease in Edinburgh and elsewhere in the UK and abroad have revealed their concerns over reports of at least nine people being treated for the disease in Stoke-on-Trent. As the number of confirmed cases has increased today from 7 to 9, there are concerns that this number may rise further. The Health Protection Agency ( HPA) has stated that two other cases are being investigated from earlier this year which may also be linked to this latest outbreak. The disease has a typical incubation period of between 2-10 days. Clive Garner, a specialist at Irwin Mitchell, has extensive experience of representing victims of Legionnaires' Disease and the families of those tragically killed by the disease. Garner said: "It is very worrying to see the number of confirmed Legionnaires' Disease cases increasing and sadly until the source of the outbreak is detected and made safe there is a clear risk that others may fall victim to this terrible illness. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this latest outbreak in Stoke. "The immediate priority is the health and welfare of the victims and detection of the source of the Legionella bacteria to prevent the infection spreading to other members of the public. The authorities will be working hard to detect the source of the infections and it is crucial that if members of the public do start experiencing any of the symptoms of Legionnaires' Disease, they seek immediate medical assistance." Irwin Mitchell is currently representing more than 30 people who fell victim to the recent Legionnaires' outbreak in Edinburgh . Lawyers in the firm including Garner have vast experience of acting for victims of Legionnaires' Disease. Other recent cases being pursued by the firm include those for the victims of the recent outbreak among guests at the Diamante Beach hotel in Calpe, Spain. In that case the law firm has been instructed by the families of four British guests who sadly died as well as several other victims left seriously ill. Garner added: "There are simple steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of infection with Legionella bacteria. The disease is normally contracted by inhaling contaminated droplets of water. Typically sources include contaminated water droplets from cooling towers, showers, air conditioning systems, fountains or water features. "In our experience the reason for infection has usually been the failure to take simple preventative steps. These include maintaining stored water within the safe temperature range and making use of an appropriate level of chlorination. Protocols specifically designed to reduce the risk of infection are widely known and it is a concern to see several major outbreaks within a few months."

World Gym International, Los Angeles, gathered 200 of its associates in Las Vegas for the annual World Gym International Convention, Sept. 6-9 at the Mirage Hotel & Casino.
Company franchisees and associates from 11 countries, including Egypt, Mexico and Brazil, were represented. The event's theme was "Made of Iron," a nod to World Gym's renewed focus on the barbell, an integral piece of equipment in its small-group training program, World Gym Athletics.
The convention celebrated new company initiatives, such as the launch of World Gym Athletics, the new WorldGym.com, a new brand app and a new 25,000-square-foot corporate-owned gym in San Antonio, Texas.
The event featured an awards gala, a keynote presentation from speaker and trainer Boaz Rauchwerger and a trade show that counted Precor, Matrix and ABC Financial among its exhibitors.
"I look forward to the convention every year, which really feels more like a family reunion," World Gym CEO Guy Cammilleri said in a media release. "Our global network comes to the convention to train together, learn together, support each other, share ideas and help each other improve our businesses. This year's convention was our most successful yet."
World Gym Athletics was a focal point of the convention. The training program, developed and launched earlier this year, has since certified more than 300 trainers at dozens of World Gym facilities. According to the release, every gym that has implemented the program has seen a "dramatic increase" in personal training revenue and retention.
Next year's convention will be held Sept. 5-7 at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
World Gym operates more than 200 facilities in 22 countries. Recently, the company has focused on international growth, following through on a plan to open 30 new international gyms by summer's end, specifically in Asian markets. Cammilleri has credited the franchising program's global success to World Gym's active peer network and strong brand marketing.

The Importance of Child Safety with Window Treatments
Child safety is an important concern for all parents. Because of the inherent dangers of some older-style blinds and window treatments, it's important to evaluate both existing and new treatments for child safety. Window treatments that are child safe have either no cords at all or have lift cords without a loop. If you are considering child-proofing your home or are renovating and have children who live in or visit your home, make sure that any new window treatment you choose has child safety features. Here are a few helpful tips for parents. Replace all window blinds, draperies, and corded [READ MORE]

Travelogue is the title of Tom Farthing's solo exhibition of new paintings at Arundel's Zimmer Stewart Gallery running until April 27.
Gallery director James Stewart said: "Tom gained his MA from Chelsea College of Art and his BA from the Ruskin School, Oxford University.
"With a palette reminiscent of Sickert's landscapes, these paintings have a timeless quality.
"Tom's work is concerned with re-imagining figurative painting in a contemporary context.
"In 2018 he was artist in residence at NES in Iceland where he made drawings, watercolours and oil paintings from the landscape in and around Skagaströnd. He developed more work from his research on his return to London.
"Currently taking part in the studio programme at Turps Banana, Tom is enjoying further developing his practice within a dynamic structure of mentoring, peer-led learning, talks and visitors within an open-studio environment.
"He has been particularly interested in the relationship between architecture and landscape as can be seen in The Red House, Iceland. Previous bodies of work have developed out of collage, found photographs and most recently still lives exhibited at the Zimmer Stewart Gallery in 2015 and 2017.
"Tom is also a printmaker, creating thought provoking, semi-abstract screen prints."

Multiple fire departments called out to battle Newburgh Heights factory fire
NEWBURGH HEIGHTS, Ohio – Crews from a number of area fire departments spent Sunday afternoon battling a factory fire on Harvard Avenue in Newburgh Heights.
Fire officials tell Fox 8 that the fire began in the White Dove Mattress Factory shortly after 4 p.m. Eight departments were called in to assist until the blaze was under control.
Investigators will be on the scene Monday to try to determine a cause.
Workers will not be able to return to work until that investigation is completed, so the business will be closed until that happens.
No injuries were reported.

Taking the High Road from Point A to Point B
By Garrod Massey
There's generally more than one way to get where you need to be. There are usually shortcuts or more scenic routes. Depending on how fast we need to get where we're going, we might choose a different route on a different day.
With wiring duct, there are a few ways to get from Here to There. You can throw your wires in, put a cover on it and it looks clean. Or, you can take the extra steps of running the wires cleanly, without criss-crossing or overlapping. If we take the easier, faster way, the panel might look nice but underneath the wire duct cover, it's a mess.
At UCEC, how we run wires inside wiring duct is a point of pride. We're thinking of our end user and what's best for them. Wiring neatly and cleanly, even when you can't see it when the panel is complete, makes it easier on everyone else down the road. It makes it easier to find a wire if you can pull on it. No "bird's nests" here! Also, clean wiring saves time and money. It gives more space in the panel, too.
We also include service loops when we run wires. This method ensures that if the equipment moves around, the wires will still reach where they need to go.
Quality custom panel work is our legacy at UCEC. Clean, tight wiring is one part of that proud tradition that we practice every day.
Garrod is an Operations Support Manager for UCEC.

For people recovering from alcohol and other drug addictions, First Night is more than a good time � it�s a community model that shows them how to celebrate sober.
�For our program participants, it�s a way to sample a culture where celebrations without alcohol or other drugs are possible and enjoyable,� said Heather Harlan, a prevention specialist at Phoenix Programs in Columbia. �So much of our culture is challenged to figure out a way to celebrate without alcohol.�
Phoenix Programs is one of several community groups that receive vouchers to distribute to participants allowing them to attend First Night for free.
Case managers there dole out the passes to those who have successfully completed substance abuse treatment programs. Those chosen to receive the vouchers were program graduates who �needed an extra boost,� Harlan said.
First Night is scheduled from 7 p.m. to midnight tomorrow in downtown Columbia. Tickets in advance are $8 at Gerbes, Streetside Records and the ARC, or $10 at the event, which includes children�s activities, musical performances and dance venues. Last year, First Night drew about 8,000 attendees, Director Jane Accurso said. She expects larger crowds this year because of unseasonably warm weather forecasts.
Having a chance to participate in activities that don�t involve alcohol is a critical part of staying sober, Harlan said.
First Night �is an opportunity for people to try new forms of entertainment,� she said. �Maybe they�ve never heard a live storyteller or never had a chance to paint a picture as an adult or to hear different sorts of music. Finding positive leisure activities is important in recovery.�
St. Francis House also received 10 vouchers to distribute among its residents, but so far there have been no takers, Director Steve Jacobs said. That could be because residents there have a 10 p.m. curfew, though Jacobs said homeless individuals not residing at the house haven�t been interested. The vouchers are up for grabs if anybody needs them, Jacobs said. St. Francis House is located at 901 Range Line St.

Canada's economy will avoid slipping back into recession, but growth will remain modest in 2011 and 2012, according to the Conference Board's Canadian Outlook– Autumn 2011. Their U.S. forecast for 2011 has been downgraded to less than 2 per cent growth, but it too is still expected to avoid recession.
Canadian real gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to register only modest growth of 2.1 per cent in 2011. Real GDP growth is expected to edge up to 2.4 per cent in 2012, as still-strong commodity prices drive business investment and production in the resource sector. Household spending will be bolstered by record-low financing rates and steady employment gains. But for the first time since 1997, overall government spending will be a drag on the economy in 2012, due to a sharp decline in infrastructure investment and restraint on other government services.
A Look Back In Time…
The Board's no-recession outlook would be positive news in these uncertain economic times had they been able to accurately predict earlier recessions:
January 16, 2008: The U.S. economy is headed for tough times but won't fall into recession, the Conference Board of Canada predicts in its winter economic outlook for the United States.
The Conference Board has been maintaining for months that the U.S. economy will avoid a recession, although other economic observers think it's headed that way or has already slipped into a recession. (Source)
October 16, 2008: Recession not in Canada's future: Conference Board
November 3, 2008: Conference Board revises canadian economic outlook downward, but still forecasts no recession
And then 2 months later:
January 14, 2009: Canada Heading into 9-month recession: Conference Board
Then again, this is the same think-tank that has been forecasting 5-7% house price growth in Calgary for over a year now.

I felt all beat up yesterday, at first I thought from riding Fountainhead. But then I had an epiphany. Fountainhead isn't that rough anymore excluding 2 spots really. So why was I sore? I pondered this for many hours till my light bulb went on. Viola!
I spent about an hour and a half on Tuesday wrestling with our 2 big projects and trying to change the lamps in them. This involves human contortion-ism to climb under the screens, under the projects and then laying on the beams/supports at a VERY uncomfortable angle and then undoing the back plate, fans, and such. Due to issues with bulbs I got to do it 4 times. Argh. If I assume the standing version of the position I was in my body starts complaining loudly.
Fountainhead from where we parked was 11.03 miles. My gps only came up with 8.74. On the cyclecomputer I averaged just above 7.1 miles per hour. Not stunningly fast but not slow either.
Wake-o-Tink again today. Looking forward on trying to push maybe 20+ miles today but we'll see.
Gotta start getting ready for the Big PA trip in May.

Juan Manuel Santos, former defense minister of Colombia and standard-bearer for outgoing president Alvaro Uribe's Party of the U, received 69% of the vote in Colombia's presidential runoff on June 20th, over 27.5% for Green Party candidate Antanas Mockus. The New York Times reports:
Dissatisfaction over Colombia's social inequalities and resilient corruption during Mr. Uribe's government had buoyed the candidacy of Mr. Mockus, the former Bogotá mayor, until a series of gaffes derailed his chances. Mr. Mockus, a soft-spoken intellectual and the son of Lithuanian immigrants, still ran one of the most innovative campaigns in recent Latin American history, using social-media outlets, like Facebook and Twitter, to champion an anticorruption platform and unconventional ideas like raising taxes.

What to expect in a class with Kasie: High energy and a positive attitude!
About Kasie: I'm a New Hampshire native and love outdoor recreation in the Upper Valley. I've practiced yoga for 10+ years and stumbled upon Barre when I joined the Mighty studio. I quickly became hooked and completed my training in the Rasamaya method.
How did you get introduced to Barre? I accidentally (and thankfully!) discovered barre at Mighty when I joined the studio with the original intention of practicing yoga. I decided to try several different classes when I first joined the studio and was hooked on barre after my first class!
What do you like about Barre? I love the combination of power, energy, and balance play.
Why did you decide to teach Barre? I couldn't get enough of the energy. I suppose I "drank the Kool-Aid" as Tamara would say.
Any tips for someone new to Barre? Barre is simple - find your edge, and stay there. That's what we're all doing really, and it will look a little different on every mat.
What is your favorite pose or poses? Why? Wide second. Yup, that's right. I was never a dancer and the only reason I am somewhat flexible is that I've been practicing yoga for 10+ years. I don't have much turnout and enjoy seeing my oh-so- slow progress in this pose. Also mountain pose - nothing makes you feel stronger than standing balanced on your own two feet.
What fuels you? Food, what a silly question. Preferably chocolate.
What makes you Mighty? A positive attitude and the support of my loved ones and friends.

(in)famous once-a-decade top-ten lists since that poll's inception in 1952.
Me, I only got around to seeing it this last weekend—a nice Criterion Collection edition for my birthday.
In this comedy of manners about a group of French aristocrats and their tangled extra-marital affairs, writer-director Jean Renoir took aim at the whole of French society and found everybody wanting. Aristocrats are weak, generals are stupid, workers are lazy, men think with their you-know-whats and women are weary with the task of leading them around by it. Even the aviator, hailed as a hero for crossing the Atlantic in record time, reveals himself to be an empty flight suit.
They all meet in a country house, ostensibly for a shooting party, but really to play a game of ring-around-the-rosies where everybody loves somebody they shouldn't and nobody loves the one they're with. In the course of the weekend, Renoir makes clear that any supposed superiority on the part of the ruling class is purely a fiction. Indeed, how they got to be in charge of anything, much less an entire country, is a mystery.
No wonder French audiences were miffed.
But when a year later the German army crushed France like a bug, Renoir suddenly looked like a prescient genius and history has been trying to make it up to him ever since.
Of those movies released in 1939, which many consider the greatest year for films ever, I'd go with Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka and maybe even Only Angels Have Wings, in roughly that order, and then The Rules of the Game. But I'm a barbarian.
And ultimately, such considerations are irrelevant anyway. The question is, is this something you might enjoy on a Saturday night when you're in the mood for something frothy and fun? You bet.
Starring Marcel Dalio (aka the croupier in Casablanca), Jean Renoir, Nora Gregor, Julien Carette, from a screenplay by Jean Renoir and Carl Koch.
My rating: 4 stars (out of 5).

Tut tut. The law is an ass, but you are a fine fellow, the best of fellows, and a very good lawyer.

Responding to Tony Blair's email: The information in the national identity register
In his recent email to those who signed this petition against the government's identity card scheme, Tony Blair said that the National Identity Register (i.e. the database that forms the core of the identity card scheme) will:
…contain less information on individuals than the data collected by the average store card…
I have several points to make in response to this:
- Store cards are voluntary, where registering on the national identity register will eventually be compulsory under the government's plans. Indeed starting in April 2007, some first time applicants for passports will be required to register, and eventually (in 2009 according to current plans) all applicants for passports will be required to register, before finally extending the scheme to all permanent residents of Britain.
It is disingenuous to compare an entirely voluntary scheme, with one that passport applicants, and eventually all permanent residents, will be legally required to sign up to, and provide data for.
- The retail company that issues a store card cannot legally share store card data with other parties without the customer's consent, and the retailer will only get information about that customer's shopping habits at their stores (or perhaps any allied stores that allow their card to be used).
E.g. the Tesco store card won't record purchases made with other store cards, credit cards or with cash - you are thus in complete control over how much you let Tesco know about your shopping habits, being able to choose whether to have a card, whether to use Tesco at all, and whether to use the card for any particular purchase.
However, the information on the National Identity Register can legally be shared with the police, security services and public bodies without your consent. Indeed some of the data, including your fingerprints and National Identity Registration Number (NIRN), will be shared with anyone who checks your identity in order to carry out the ID check. The NIRN will also enable entries in the NIR to be cross referenced with other databases held by public authorities and government departments.
Note that there are also moves afoot to enable general sharing of personal data across government departments when it is deemed by the government to be "in the public interest".
Finally, Blair's email itself implies some sharing of NIR data with other governments:
Another benefit from biometric technology will be to improve the flow of information between countries on the identity of offenders.
- The Store Card will not store the following information that will be in the NIR (see Schedule 1 of the Identity Cards Act 2006 for the complete list of information):
- Every address you've ever lived at.
- Every name you've ever been known by.
- Every immigration status you've ever held.
- Your fingerprints.
- The number of every official identity document issued to you, such as driving licences, passports, visas, etc.
- The details of every occasion on which your identity is checked, and thus a record of, for example, each time you register with a doctor/clinic, sign up for benefits, enroll your kids in a state school, open a bank account, apply for a credit card or take out a mortgage (to provide a selection of the situations where the government envisage you needing to provide your identity card to access a service).

Land of Scones, Tea, The LochNess Monster and the Queen
January 1, 1970
by Debs X
A visit to my place of birth : United Kingdom
I am in love with the United Kingdom… Every country that is within it had amazing places to visit and holds special treasures. I grew up here as a child and learned to appreciate history here.
I thought a good place to start would be to name my all time favourites and what I love about them. Each place is different and these may not be the top tourist spots in the UK but they are places I love and have enjoyed re-visiting over the years. So here goes my absolute favourite places to visit in Scotland and England to start with.
Scotland: Stirling
Stirling Castle is beautiful. It is unique and special. There is tour guides available or you can wander the beautiful halls yourself.
There is low for the kids and big kids to do in the hall of activities. Each room holds a suprise… The best room is the dress up room!
There is also a museum within the Castle about the soldiers of the area who fought in the many different wars Britain has taken part in.
Adventure fact: if you have family members who came from this area, ask the staff for help to find the medals they may have earned.
The last time I visited here it has recently snowed. If you find yourself there in this situation still make your way up there cause they likely won't be shut. It made the whole experience all the more magical wandering through while the snow flurried around us.
If you take a short walk down the hill you will also find the old prison which is small but fun :).
Scotland: Edinburgh- The Capital
Well it's the capital so of course it is great and has tonnes to do.
You can do shopping on the famous Princess street, maybe get a kilt hand made for you or take a stroll through the beautiful gardens.
You can have a look at Hollyrood palace where Mary Queen of Scots supposedly murdered on of her husbands with the help of her lover.
If you visit around Christmas time then they have the most beautful Belgin markets set up with rides, Waffles, Ice Skating and the best of all Scottish food.
My absolute two favourite places to visit in Edinburgh is the castle and Mary Kings Close.
The Castle is again full of history and a unique one at that. Each castle has its own story so it's not just another castle. They have awesome tours and events that run all year round. They also have hand held 'do it yourself' tours which are great for kids. Make sure you give yourself a few hours to walk around here so you can fully explore this beautiful Castle.
Once you have done this head out of the castle and take a stroll down the beautiful Royal mile. Which is full of little closes and shops and pubs which are all just as lovely as you can imagine. Keep a close eye out for the Mary Kings Close tours. It's an underground tour of street that was built over the top of during the plague. There are lots of rumours and it even has its very own Ghost. This is an actor lead tour and is worth the money.
England: York
My number ONE place in the whole of the U.K.
Do it, Do it, Do it!
This place is incredible. It has tonn d to do and you can easily fill a few days with non stop activities.
Me and my favourite person spent a day here and loved it. I would go back again and stay for a few days if not longer.
The York Dungeons are fun and really entertaining not for the faint hearted though. Be prepared to be picked on my the tour guides who use people in demonstrations of how things used to work in the darker side of York. I won't say too much as it would ruin it but this is a great activity and you'll find yourself reliving childhood joy and excitement.
The Jorvik museum is incredible and it allows you to experience the the way the Vikings lived. It has an interactive ride which takes you round a Viking village. It has an audio tour and be prepared for the smells of a Viking village cause it isn't pleasant. You can then look at the various artefacts and learn at the information stations and guides showing you up and close artifacts and answering your questions you may have.
The best part is your entry fee earns you a whole years admission meaning you can visit more than once and have as many goes on the ride as your nose can handle.
The York Tower is also worth the hike up the hill and the museum near by is also very cool.
There is tonnes to do here and the locals are lovely!
Scotland: Loch Ness
Well obviously it's a must do! It's great fun trying to find the monster and the village is cute with good food. There is another castle near by which is nice and again has a colourful history. If the Monster is your main focus then there is a museum on the Loch side that you can learn all about the history and sightings of Nessie.
Bonus: Fort George is up this way and is an active military camp with a museum attached. It's really cool and super fun for kids or…. Adults who like guns ?.
Other cool places to visit are:
Wells- movie Hot Fuzz was filmed here
Linlithgow- Birthplace of Mary Queen of Scott's
Nottingham- Robin Hood
Bath – Roman history
These are just a few of my all time favourites. London isn't included because I haven't made it there yet. I'm still on my adventure but I hope this gives you an insight into where you can go in this beautiful land and know for sure you will love it.

Rob Fetters Tone Jones
"I sometimes use tone to express feelings such as warmth, danger, anger, or love," says Fetters. "For instance, on the song 'Zero,' I'm describing a person who calculates the success of her relationships with a spreadsheet. So, I used really harsh and edgy distortion created with a ProCo Rat, and then I put a Boss TR-1 tremolo in sync with the music, panning each eighth-note hit alternately left or right. It has an almost surreal on-off, binary vibe that represents her manipulative nature."
"Tell the Truth," a song about co-dependence, finds Fetters combining two distinctly different acoustic guitar sounds. "I wanted to have the acoustic solo on that track really defined," he explains. "So, I double-tracked it using a Godin Multiac nylon-string panned left, and a Taylor 612 CE steel-string panned right. The combination of steel and nylon results in a sort of 'chewy' articulation that I use a lot now. The wide panning also sounds great with rhythm guitar parts."
Fetters took an even more ambitious approach on "I Didn't Know," an acidic look at infidelity. "There's a mellow stew of guitars on that one," he says. "I used a Kimble Parlor guitar on the quarter-note chord rhythm, and I layered a Danelectro DC-3—which sounds like a vintage Gretsch—through a Wavelength custom amp. I also added a cascade of subtle descending notes with a '65 Rickenbacker 625 through a Fender Cyber-Twin set on 'Super Reverb,' and then doubled those notes with a Fender Nashville Telecaster 12-string. Next, I panned these guitars quite wide in the mix so they can be picked out if you listen carefully. The trick is to define the space of each guitar, and try not to double up on too many of the same frequencies. I rely on my ears—I don't look at meters, knobs, or plug-in graphics to determine the right balance. Trusting your ears and your intuition is usually the best way to go."

The Show – Vegas 2012
The water and a glass-lined desert protect me
from the harsh fade of heat.
The flashing heat mirrors across faces
the commercial drum beat strums
hot skin and thumping hearts
pounding out a healthy tune.
People come to Vegas to be someone else
step into studded slippers, swing through crystal curtains at The Cosmopolitan
oval ceiling float over black jack tables
gold tassels pull back an open dangling atrium.
You may swim from between the glistening towers at the Monte Carlo, and come into a world built for enjoyment, an open show of 'life' on the streets, just as real as
diamonds floating in the desert.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the Government will be making cash contributions totalling US$200,000 to help with hurricane relief in Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica.
One-hundred-thousand dollars will be provided to each country.
More than two weeks ago, category five storm, Hurricane Irma, devastated Barbuda which resulted in the government evacuating the entire island.
Last Monday another category five storm, Hurricane Maria, caused widespread displacement, destruction, and death in Dominica.
Holness told parliamentarians that the Government sympathises with the affected countries and has stepped forward to provide a helping hand.
The Prime Minister also told the House that 120 Jamaica Defence Force soldiers are to be deployed to Dominica to, among other things, help with maintaining law and order as well as provide relief support.
He said the first batch arrived in the island Tuesday and the two other teams are expected to arrive Wednesday morning.
Additionally, Jamaica is to send a four-member technical and advisory support team to the eastern Caribbean country to provide support in rebuilding.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Holness disclosed this afternoon that the government has spent $50 million to bring home more than 200 Jamaicans from islands affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Citing a change in use at the Jack Hammett Sports Complex, an initiative to install artificial turf on two of its fields will be scrapped, and the City of Costa Mesa will negotiate with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District for possible improvements to sports fields at two elementary schools to increase the number of playable hours.
The Costa Mesa City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 5, agreed 4-0 to reduce upgrades to the sports complex to an expansion of the parking lot, creating permanent storage facilities, the construction of walkways to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and restroom upgrades.
Mayor Katrina Foley recused herself from the vote, citing the proximity of the complex to her home.
Councilman Jim Righeimer, a longtime supporter of youth sports programs in the city, praised the parents at the meeting, many of whom stayed until 11:30 p.m. to discuss the matter.
"Everywhere I go, whether it's baseball, soccer, basketball, the moms and the dads that are out there just donating their time are absolutely phenomenal," Righeimer said.
The change of plans for the sports complex stems from the Los Angeles Chargers use of the 14.5-acre facility during the summer months for its preseason training camp, meaning the turf fields would not be used, said Raja Sethuraman, director of public services for the city.
The sports complex is primarily used by the local AYSO groups, flag football teams and other youth sports clubs.
Other plans call for the city to partner with the Newport-Mesa Unified School District to implement improvements to fields at Kaiser Elementary School and Davis Magnet School.
At Kaiser, permanent lighting would be installed at two multi-use sports fields, along with improvements to two baseball fields, ADA improvements and parking lot upgrades.
A track field at Davis Magnet School would receive artificial turf to allow for various activities and its parking lot would be redesigned.
City staff also recommended constructing a multi-use field and practice field at Parsons School, but placed the work at Davis and Kaiser as greater priorities.
The almost $10 million price tag for all three projects would be funded through $4.9 million slated for the originally intended work at Jack Hammett, with the rest coming from grants, park fees and other sources.
Mark Arblaster, president of the Newport Mesa Soccer Club, said the group spends around $3,000 each month to rent lights from Hertz for six months each year to play at Davis, in addition to thousands more to rent the fields.
"It's expensive, but we do it because we care about the kids. But we need help," Arblaster told the council.
Youth sports advocates have campaigned for years to have the fields lighted at night, particularly in the fall and winter months when the sun sets earlier in the day.
"This is just a huge, huge opportunity for us to bring the light so to speak to the community," said Costa Mesa United board member Brett Eckles. "This is a way to get those 10,000-plus Costa Mesa resident kids on fields throughout the year."
Once agreements with Newport-Mesa are in place, the city will move forward with public outreach efforts before bringing the matter to the Parks and Recreation Commission.

For those who are purist fans of Jane Austen… this movie may have lost your interest after reading the title. But for those who love zombie flicks — and need a movie with a dash of romance to keep your date interested — then Pride and Prejudice and Zombies offers just that!
The movie is fun, with the first laugh of the film coming from the title itself. It is truly as ridiculous and wonderful as it sounds. Jane Austen crossed with zombies, you say? Sword-wielding zombie-slaying ladies in Victorian dresses?? Why not?! The film is based on the mashup of Austen's 1813 classic and a parody novel released in 2009 of the same name; and this adaption of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel brings together two favorite things in popular culture – Austen and zombies.
The story plays pretty true to the original P&P, with the premise set in a parallel world where the black plague led to the zombie apocalypse. With only a handful of people left, the aristocracy have retreated to their country estates to defend themselves.
Children are trained how to slay the zombie hordes by studying with masters in Japan and China. Then upon return they also learn the delicate balance of how to behave properly at the dinner table and how to court a suitor. That alone ensures some awkward and comedic moments of the film as Lily James, who plays as Elizabeth, the strongest zombie slaying sister, attempts to find a balance between being a warrior and a lady. Additionally, Matt Smith and Lena Headey offer particularly strong performances as Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourgh, which helps to carry the film through.
Mostly the film offers a good laugh and a fun movie date as the classic story is retold with the undead threatening every decision and event. The film does a fairly good job of convincingly bringing together the Pride and Prejudice storyline with zombies. Although the film doesn't seem to always work but it will provide you with some jovial entertainment.

A man has been jailed for attempted murder after shooting another man in a targeted attack following a row at a birthday party.
Perry Wilson, 24 and of Hammersmith, was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment at the Old Bailey on Tuesday December 19 after being found guilty of attempted murder and possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to 8 years for possession of the firearm to be served concurrently.
Khalid Amer, 21 and also of Hammersmith, was sentenced to two years and eight months' imprisonment for assisting an offender. He received a four-month sentence for contempt of court, to be served consecutively - total three years.
The trial took place at the Old Bailey in November.
Police were called to Albion Mews, Hammersmith, at approximately 11.10pm on Saturday April 15 to reports of a man being shot. London Ambulance Service also attended and found a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a West London hospital.
The victim was shot twice in the abdomen and required major surgery, although he has now made a complete recovery.
The victim had attended a birthday party, and the court heard during the trial that he was targeted by the gunman, a former friend, after they fell out. Their dispute escalated which led to the near-fatal shooting
The Met's Trident and Area Crime Command - North West Reactive team launched an investigation.
Wilson was quickly identified as a suspect. It is believed that he travelled to Dover to stay at a friend's house in the days after the shooting, in an attempt to evade capture.
He was arrested on Thursday April 27 on suspicion of attempted murder after attending a police station and knowing he was wanted in connection with this incident, gave a no comment interview. The firearm has not been recovered.
Wilson was arrested on Wednesday April 26 and charged on Friday April 28 with one count of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm.
Enquiries revealed that Wilson was in close contact with Amer, a close associate, after the shooting and that Amer had organised and put into motion plans to remove Wilson from London to Dover to lay low.
DC Shon Young, investigating officer from Trident and Area Crime Command said: "The victim was shot once in the stomach at point-blank range, and had it not been for the initial first aid given by people at the scene it is unlikely that he would have survived.
"It is believed that Wilson went to Albion Mews that day knowing the victim would be there, with the intent to kill him. The motive behind this attack will never truly be known, however Wilsons involvement in the shooting was discovered following an investigation by Trident officers.
"There can be no justification for the use of illegal firearms on the streets of London. This sentence sends out a clear message that such criminality will not be tolerated and as a result another person who is prepared to use violence with a firearm is now in jail serving a long sentence."

Don't get me wrong, I love the cover for Brothers-in-Arms. I think it is simple and captures the idea of the book so well.
Which is one reason I love the cover for Finding the Magic so much, and am so eager to show you all! It fits the book perfectly and I LOVE it. This cover is just so pretty and I am still in awe that my publisher made it for me.
So here you go! The brand new, shinny cover for Finding the Magic!!

I'm doing some home-improvement type stuff for my attitude. Like real home improvement programs, I will most likely abandon it after expending a bunch of money and effort. Who am I kidding, I haven't attempted or even thought to attempt a single home-improvement project in my life. I think you need an actual home for that, which I do not have or want until I have a trampoline to put inside of it. That's right, inside.
My thought, anyway, was to challenge myself to not say anything negative about another person. I know what you're thinking–how am I going to write successful posts without saying anything negative about others? Well, my self-deprecating sense of humor has the upshot of focusing most negative comments on myself, but just in case I suppose I should qualify this experiment in a few ways.
I will only try it for a specific amount of time because, if nothing else, I'm realistic. We'll start with two weeks and further limit, if needed, to virtually nothing. I would also limit this experiment to those whom I know personally. At all times, I place a premium on shit talking to strangers. Plus, as I have alluded to in prior posts, snowboard season is in full gear and there are few ways aside from talking shit to get your point across to both the morons of Summit County and the out-of-town assholes that flock to my great state with their less-than great families. I'm also going to apply this rule only to those with whom I am friends. That may sound strange to you, but as a girl (or a female far too old to be referring to herself as a girl) I am 100% positive that my friends talk shit about me in one way or another. It doesn't bother me, it's just the reality of being a girl who is inevitably bitchy from time to time. In my case 'from time to time' means every second I'm awake. We're all like this, some women just delude themselves into thinking what they are doing is venting to their partner or chatting with another girlfriend. Nope, shit talker! But I don't mind, haters hate, just get it out of the way before we go get hammered and spin around on a stripper pole like uncoordinated morons. Because when that's happening, I don't want drama, just dollars.
Anyway, I'm going to give it two weeks, starting NOW. I'll be honest and report back on my failures and/or successes and if it doesn't work out, then everyone I know can go fuck themselves. OK, starting now …

The rats are two-and-a-half years old now! To celebrate such a big milestone, I let them out to play on my bedroom floor (I don't normally do that these days). It was certainly different from what I was expecting. Instead of bounding around the room like they would in the past, Bunny and Button waddled about, calmly exploring the area until they both found a comfy box to relax in.
Tonight my sister and I also made them little birthday cookies out of Mini Nilla Wafers and melted semi-sweet chocolate chips. The rats definitely appreciated this extra special treat, though Button kept moving around and getting in Bunny's way of eating! 😛
According to this rat age calculator, Bunny and Button are now 70 "rat years" old. Wow!

Review: Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me.
For those of you who have seen or participated in the Circles of Change Book Club, you know that I'm all for anything that changes the way we talk about health, beauty, and our bodies. I'm especially interested when these conversation-changers come in the form of a book.
While I was eager to pick up Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling's nonfiction publications, Lily Collins's book initially didn't pop up on my radar. While I was familiar with the brand of feminism and wit I could expect from the aforementioned comedic powerhouses, I wasn't familiar enough with who Collins was outside of her movie roles.
So color me surprised when I learned that "Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me." was about self-acceptance and recovery after eating disorders. And color me excited when there wasn't a single bit of gossip or hyperbolic self-congratulation in this book, but that kind of self-praise that absolutely should come from genuine self-love.
There are more than a few descriptions of what her various eating disorders looked like that can feel borderline "how-to" and some of her lifestyle choices while in recovery still feel like they border on disordered eating behavior, but Collins is also quick to point out that her recovery isn't done, and that there's always more to learn and adjust.
When it feels like every female celebrity is quick to perpetuate the unrealistic beauty standards of our culture, Collins is set on making every reader feel that as she embraces what she calls quirks, that you can do the same.
While the book is short, the brevity of the content allows the main message to shine.
The book is as honest as the title suggests. I recommend this book for women of all ages, but especially young women, who need a quick reminder of the joys that come with a full and colorful life, or for anyone who needs to take that first step on the path to recovery. Collins includes links in the back of the book for resources available for eating disorders, dating abuse, bullying, and general mental health.
4/5 Stars for being a book that casts a light on the unrealistic expectations of female beauty, and for offering ideas about how to confront the people and things in your life that make you unhappy. The 1 star deduction comes from how compact the book was, and that for me it wasn't exploring new ideas but rather nodding along to ideas I already embrace and appreciate.

A New Zealand scientist has called for a ban on the use of plastic to protect marine life.
Trisia Farrelly, an environmental anthropologist at Massey University, said there are other alternatives that could replace plastic sequins made of PE.
Plastic sequins are a small part of the problem of plastic particulate contamination, but a New Zealand scientist says there is a better, more sustainable alternative.
Her research is based on the findings of toxicologists and endocrinologists.
Farrelly said: "There is growing evidence that the toxins released by plastic particles and the additional contaminants that plastics absorb in the aquatic environment - which some marine scientists call 'poison pills' - can accumulate in the food chain and may Destroys the endocrine system of marine life, and we humans eat seafood. "
She acknowledged that plastic sequins are "a relatively small part of many of the world's plastic particle problems," but she hopes "to raise awareness of environmentally responsible production and consumption, as well as awareness of issues related to plastic particles."
She said: "If plastic sequins are a tool to get more conversations, I welcome."
Farrelly also hopes to strengthen cooperation in the scientific community.
"The damage of plastic particles is a serious and extremely complex global problem that requires thorough interdisciplinary research with natural and social scientists to help raise awareness among decision makers, health professionals and the general public."
She said there are many eco-friendly plastic sequins to choose from, but this is a producer responsibility.
"Why does a manufacturer benefit from the production of single-use plastic products, such as plastic sequins, without any liability whatsoever for the environmental damage they cause?"

Sub[urban] Creation
Jayne English
"A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid."
—J.R.R. Tolkien
I grew up in the suburbs. Those places where you could only see distance if you looked up, because the houses and yards and hedges of your neighbors and their neighbors became the extent of your horizon. These views were vastly different from the ones that inspired Coleridge and Wordsworth on their walking tour through moorland and woodland, and along the coast of Bristol Channel. They weren't like Emily Dickinson's views at the Homestead, where she wandered through orchard and gardens, tending the flowers that thrived in her poetry. And they're not the English countryside Tolkien knew as a child that charmed his Hobbits' Shire.
Having places to explore as a child, places to wander across landscapes far broader and varied than the one I grew up in, seems important for creative inspiration. But even in the suburbs, there were things that kindled imagination. Like the small rock pile the builders left next to our house, where we found quartz rocks, smooth and dull on the outside but glistening with soft colors inside. There were Indian paint pots scattered there, and in my young mind I pictured Indian children, stepping deftly over the rock pile in softly moccasined feet. On winter mornings I was captivated by delicate designs the cold wind painted on warm windows.
Our creative powers have little to do with where we find ourselves geographically, and everything to do with the fact that we are "located" in the image of God. At a talk delivered to the William Blake Society, Malcolm Guite points out that Coleridge goes so far as to say "the image of God in us is imagination."
Tolkien considered part of the creative process as creating worlds. He believed that being made in the image of God means that we "subcreate" through imagination. "Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker."
In his blog about Tolkien and subcreation, John Carswell writes: "Subcreation is inherently focused on the other, on providing a beautiful territory of the imagination in which the other may dwell." The poem "Neighbors, Throwing Knives," by David Bottoms shows how this "beautiful territory" can be imagined in the suburbs when we "gauge the fine balance/between what is real and what is imagined":
In the woods at the corner of our yards
we hang the plywood squares,
the Magic Marker images of pronghorn, panther,
grizzly, whitetail,
and step off the paces we use to measure
our skill.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In our own hearts
we love what they might be, their shapes
frozen in brush as though, suddenly,
they had turned from wood
and caught our scent drifting in a wind-shift.
So we hunt this suburb, whet our aim
to move among them in the little wilderness
As an adult I once again find myself in a suburb. Here I watch the sprinkler pass through a shaft of light. I pick up the binoculars and am startled to see that each drop is now a gem in its arc of color. Tolkien writes:
Man is not wholly lost nor wholly changed.
Disgraced he may be, yet is not de-throned,
and keeps the rags of lordship once he owned:
Man, Sub-creator, the refracted Light
through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind.
In the suburbs, in the image of God, I write to splinter light to many hues.
