June 14, 2013 – Maine Leads the Nation in Dealing with EMP!
By Ambassador Henry F. Cooper
June 14, 2013
I also serve on the Board of the Foundation for Resilient Societies, which on June 11 issued the following press release regarding an initiative by Maine State Legislator Andrea Boland (D-Sanford) which became law on the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 2013, as highlighted in our June 7, 2013 email report: Remember Maine and June 6!
June 11, 2013
AUGUSTA ME—The State of Maine is the first in the nation to mandate a study of electric grid threats from solar storms and man-made electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A bill directing the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to examine measures to mitigate the effects of geomagnetic disturbances caused by solar storms and nuclear electromagnetic pulse on the state's electric grid transmission system was recently passed by a unanimous vote of the Maine House of Representatives and a 32-3 vote in the Senate. This new law requires the PUC to identify the most vulnerable components of the State's transmission system, and also identify potential protective measures, their costs, and probable timeframes to implement.
When sunspots erupt, they send masses of charged particles toward the earth. These particles interact with the earth's magnetic field causing so-called "geomagnetic disturbances". Solar storms can induce harmful currents in high voltage transmission lines. In March 1989, a relatively small solar storm plunged the Province of Quebec into a widespread grid blackout affecting six million electric customers. According to multiple U.S. Government reports, a five to ten-times larger solar storm—a historical example being the Carrington Event of 1859—could cause a years-long blackout for the State of Maine and much of the eastern United States.
Current operational procedures of ISO-New England for solar storms are inadequate to protect the Maine and larger New England electric grids, according to testimony heard at a March 21 work session of the Energy, Utilities, and Technology Committee of the Maine State Legislature.
A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could send an electromagnetic pulse downward and permanently damage electric grid transformers, according to reports from the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Commission and Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
"I am proud that Maine has taken the lead on an issue that paralysis in Congress has let go unattended for too long," said Representative Andrea Boland of Sanford, sponsor of the bill. "Maine is particularly vulnerable to solar storms, due to its northerly latitude, geology, and proximity to the ocean. Legislators, the PUC, and the Governor understood what the experts were telling them, and responded."
The $1.4 billion Maine Power Reliability Program (MPRP), a high voltage transmission system upgrade, would substantially increase the risk of long-term electric grid blackout from solar storms, according to John Kappenman, one of the nation's foremost experts on the effects of sunspot eruptions on power grids. "While the new transmission lines add capacity, most of them parallel existing lines and terminate near existing substations," said Mr. Kappenman. "As a result, the redundant lines could result in a near-doubling of harmful currents induced by these storms in transmission lines in Maine. The antenna will be twice as big, and the storm impact to the power grid is likely to be twice as severe."
"Maine has narrowly missed blackouts due to solar storms, with numerous 'trips' of critical grid equipment," said Thomas Popik, Chairman of the Foundation for Resilient Societies, a non-profit group that conducts scientific studies on solar storms and their effect on electric grids. "Our recent study of the New England grid shows that generation and transmission capacity likely to be lost during a solar storm is several times the available reserves. We look forward to the upcoming study of the Maine PUC on this important issue."
"Maine has accomplished in less than six months what Washington has failed to accomplish in years. For a half decade, Washington has tried, and failed, to pass the GRID Act, the SHIELD Act, and other legislation to protect the national electric grid and the lives of millions of the American people from a natural or nuclear EMP Catastrophe," exulted Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a Congressional Advisory Board. "Now Maine has succeeded where Washington has failed and is setting an excellent example that other states can follow by launching state initiatives to protect their own electric grids, instead of waiting for the leadership that Washington seems no longer able to provide. It is perhaps symptomatic of how deeply corrupt and incompetent Washington has become that billions of dollars are spent snooping through the phone calls and e-mails of average Americans, frisking grandmas and babies at airports, and living in fear of the next Underwear Bomber, while Washington ignores the truly existential threat from EMP, and leaves it up to the State of Maine to take the lead on EMP protection. In this Electronic Age, in this era of Cyber Warfare, the passage of LD-131 is akin to the charge of the 20th Maine at Little Roundtop during the Battle of Gettysburg that saved the Union. Once again the brave little State of Maine has come to the Nation's rescue. I would add that protection of the Maine electric grid from EMP would make it the ideal site to locate the new high-tech military base on the East Coast to support the expansion of the National Missile Defense recently authorized by the House Armed Services Committee."

The full text of the bill can be found at:
All of us who worked to help Andrea are gratified by her success and hope it will lead other states' legislatures and local authorities to follow suit—and, eventually, perhaps even the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee will get the message that all Americans need to be protected from this existential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threat to our way of life and permit the The Shield Act to be voted upon by the full U.S. House of Representatives.
I believe that this D-Day success was due to Maine's past experience with the effects of less than massive but still major solar storms and Representative Boland's persistent public inquiry and sponsorship of expert public testimony. Her proposed Act was supported by the entire Maine House of Representatives and all but three Senators. In particular these factors helped foil the attempts of biased studies that have downplayed this existential threat—including studies by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which is supposed to be looking out for the public interest. The House Energy and Commerce Committee should follow her lead with a similar effort to expose the facts to the light of day.
As we have previously written, a recent international conference on this subject indicated that the United Kingdom and Israel have focused their activities to seriously deal with the EMP threat. See The Telegraph's June 7 article that seeks to educate the U.K. on key factors of the solar storms that threaten them.
Meanwhile the U.S. interagency process seems dysfunctional, and is not dealing effectively with these issues. Thus, High Frontier has plans to take these issues to the American people in any way that we can, and inform them also of the things that can be done to deal with the threat—beginning at home, just as illustrated by Andrea! Ultimately, we must have effective defenses against this existential threat—which may come from either of two sources: one man-made, and one from natural causes. Please click here to learn more.
What can you do?
We can use your help in spreading the word to the grass roots and local authorities so that they will understand the existential EMP threat and press the powers that be to provide for the common defense as they in turn are sworn to do. Follow Andrea Boland's example! Will you do your part?

The Last Will and Testament (Will for short) is probably the most common piece of an Estate Plan, with which people are even somewhat familiar. While it is not the entirety of a good Estate Plan, it is a good foundational component.
Your Will should provide all of the essential details as to four important issues:
- Who will serve as the Personal Representative or Executor – meaning the person who will be in charge of settling your final affairs and ensuring that your beneficiaries will receive their inheritance;
- What powers your Executor will have;
- Who will inherit your property; and
- How when your property will ultimately be transferred to your beneficiaries.
It is very important to note, if you have Minor Children, then your Last Will and Testament will also cover a fifth, and sometimes most important point:
Who will serve as the Guardian for your minor children until they become adults.
It is only through a Will, that the appointment of such a guardian can be completed.
It is our sincere belief that while everyone should have an Estate Plan in place, at a minimum you MUST at least have a Will.

New Year's Eve is a time of huge celebration, and while many people opt to go out for parties and celebratory events, there is a growing number of people who are choosing to have gatherings and parties in their own homes. While this can be a more relaxing and safer alternative to venturing out, there are still risks associated with New Year's Eve parties at home. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your New Year's Eve party and avoid problems for you as a Homeowner.
- It's a good idea to help guests arrange cab rides or designated drivers, if necessary, to get home safely. If an accident does occur after a guest leaves your home, you could be held liable as the homeowner where alcohol was served. If necessary, provide blankets and air mattresses and invite your guests to stay the night at in your home. Be sure to offer plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and water to your guests.
- Never serve alcohol to a minor, even if their parents are present. It's against the law to serve alcohol to any person under 19 years of age, regardless of parental consent. You as the host, providing alcohol can be held legally responsible.
- Be aware of all guests in attendance. If you are expecting a large number of people or perhaps guests who are unfamiliar to you, it's a good idea to place valuables in a safe or other locked location during the party.
- Before having a party, check that all your home's alarm systems and locks are functioning properly. It's also important to ensure that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors working properly.
- Homeowners should also use their security system after going to bed on New Year's Eve. Many criminals believe New Year's Eve is a good time to strike because so many people are out for the evening or distracted by the party and alcohol.
- If you are expecting a lot of guests or there will be a lot of alcohol consumed, perhaps avoid the use of open flame candles. It's a huge fire hazard to have alcohol and intoxicated guests around lit candles. Choose flameless candles or festive strings of lights to spruce up your party. If you need to have candles, place them in secure locations, check on them periodically and remember to extinguish all candles at the end of the party.
- If you have house pets keep them inside tonight, as the roads and your neighbourhood could be unsafe for them. Ensure that your pet has a dog license on the collar, so that if something happens and they manage to exit your home, they can be easily returned to you. Loud noises can scare pets, consider keeping them in a closed room with a comfortable bed, treats and maybe some music to drown out the sounds of strangers arriving, noisemakers and champagne bottles etc.
- Remember that all your neighbours may not enjoy being disturbed late into the night by loud music and raucous party guests. Try to maintain the volume, intensity and ripple effect of your party under control and it won't cause you interpersonal issues with your neighbours.
- Ensure that you keep your party and the guests under control at all times. Altercations and injuries incurred while in your home can be a liability to you as the homeowner. Also, damage to your personal property that occurs during a party with alcohol involved, may not be covered under your homeowners insurance policy. It's best to be careful and not risk any person being injured or property being damaged during a party in your home….because that's no way to start the New Year!
- Have Fun! You will be surrounded by friends and family, living in the best country in the world and you are blessed to be rolling in another NEW YEAR! There is so much to celebrate, take a few minutes amidst the party, to reflect on the last 365 days and look forward to everything that 2014 will hold for you!
This evening as you and your family ring in the New Year, you want to have a celebration that is memorable for all the right reasons. Make sure you are prepared to offer a party environment that is festive and fun but also safe and secure for your family, your guests, your home and property and your neighbourhood. Happy New Year!

Update on the Goals for 2013
I have heard that most New Year's resolutions are long forgotten by mid-February so I thought I would take a look and see how I am doing on my 2 main goals for 2013.
Goal Number 1: Lose Weight
I thought I would start with the simplest and most straight forward of the 2 goals, losing weight. I want to lose 15 pounds by May to get me to about 215 in time for softball season. I want to still be able to make it down the line quickly and not hurt my knees so much so getting to 215 is a start.
On the day that I hit the heaviest I have ever been, I weighed in at 230.4 pounds. Since that day, I have managed to weigh in at even or down each week. Yesterday, I was 224.8 for a total 5.6 pound weight loss in a little over 6 weeks. A pound per week should be quite sustainable. Also, I have not lost any strength although my upper body workout has been less than stellar these past 2 weeks due to muscle spasms in my upper back. It should be better in the next week or two.
Goal Number 2: Lose Debt
This is a little more complicated as technically my liabilities have increased over the past month, but that is because the PLUS loans that are paid out for fall and spring semesters go into repayment starting in February. So that total has been added to the overall mix. But the debts that I have wanted to focus on (namely consumer debt) has been decreasing. In January, I managed to knock about $6000 off the total.
Now I started a new blog to more closely follow and share my progress. It is called Shredding Debt, which is exactly what I am looking forward to doing to all my credit cards when I get them paid off. Shred them for good! Be sure to stop by and check out the blog. The design and logo is the work of Andrea at Nuts and Bolts Media. I think she did a fabulous job for a reasonable cost. All I have to do is log in and start writing.
February will not end up as good. This is because I am hoarding cash for a possible business purchase or investment. I have been meeting with bankers and a consultant to see what can be worked out. I am keeping the cash in case I need to put up some equity into the deal to make it happen. Once the picture is clearer, I can resume my efforts.
Nevertheless, there will be some debt payoff simply from principal repayments. At least I am able to track my progress closely. I have been updating my spreadsheet monthly since October of 2012 working on getting debt paid off and freeing up some monthly cash flow.
Finally, here are the carnivals that featured my blogs in the past few weeks:
Categories: Basic Tags: Weight loss, credit, loans, paying off debt
Refinancing Rental Property Mortgages
Since I am having to liquidate my retirement portfolio to pay for some tax debt, I want to have something financial that I can focus on and consider a project. So I am spending the next 3 years really focused on maximizing monthly cash flow and paying off debt. If I can pay off just the debts that I have listed in my spreadsheet, I can cut about 30% out of my monthly budget and free up cash for other purposes. Besides, paying off debt is a great way to improve my net worth without having to pay taxes on the gains.
Refinancing the Rental Property
I met with a banker yesterday to look at doing a refinance on 4 of my rental houses. I have anywhere from 20-29% equity in the properties with 20 years 10 months to 22 years 11 months left on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. The interest rates range from 6.375% to 7%.
Even though I am unable to get the best deal due to my credit score (I have a lot of debt relative to the credit lines), it does seem worth it and is consistent with my goal of decreasing expenses and improving cash flow in order to pay off as much debt as possible in the next 36 months. This includes rolling some closing costs into the mortgage. Of course, I will have to see the final deal but the initial numbers looked reasonable.
Assuming everything continues as expected, I would only be saving from $60-70 per month, but multiplied across several houses, the savings will add up and allow me to use the money for paying off higher interest rate debt. I will also be able to eliminate PMI on the one property on which I only put 10% down.
Decreasing the Term
The best part of the deal, though, is that I will not only save a bit of money each month, but I will be saving anywhere from 10 months to 2 years and 11 months on the mortgages since they will all be 20 year loans with a fixed interest rate. This will add up to some additional savings on the back end.
When I add it all up, it looks like I will end up saving $132,000 over the next 20 years which works out to be a decent return on about $10,000 in total closing costs. I will report actual numbers after the closing.
This is just one of the steps that will help me pay off a lot of debt over the next 36 months and free up some cash flow that can be put to better use besides lining the pockets of the bankers.
Here are the carnivals that had articles from my blogs in them this past week:

On Hold with the Internal Revenue Service
Last Friday, I spent about 90 minutes on the phone with the United States Internal Revenue Service, much of the time on hold. I really didn't expect that it would take that long seeing as the tax season is just getting started, and I doubt that there could be that many questions yet. Part of the problem is the fact that I am a "special situation", although I think they might have changed names for that division.
You see, I owe some back taxes. And I really don't mean some. It is a long story, and one that I am not quite ready to share. Let's just say that some poor decisions on my part and the financial crisis of 2008 combined to lead to the fact that I owe enough for 2010 to qualify as a special situation. So in order to keep the IRS at bay, I have about 2 months to come up with just over $1000 per day. That will get my balance to the point where I would no longer be so special.
Problem Solving Skills
I like to tackle problems with solutions and come up with several options. In this case, I devised a plan A, as well as a plan B, C, and D. I wasn't exactly expecting the short time frame, but was happy to have some time nonetheless. Plan A was to use the Lending Club and Prosper to come up with $60,00. I could easily put together the remainder in order to qualify for a payment plan. Well wouldn't you know that the Lending Club lends to 42 states, but Indiana is one of the eight.
So I went to Prosper figuring a combination of plan A and plan B could get the job done. The process was fairly easy and quick, and I learned my credit score was 737. I am sure that isn't the best, but I do have a high level of debt of which much is mortgage debt. It turns out that 737 is not high enough to qualify for the $25,000 maximum, but I could get $15,000 instead. I decided to go with it in case there are problems with some of the other plans that I have.
If you want, you can check out my Prosper listing. It is already 4% funded which I think is cool. Plus, I will have enough material for another post in a few weeks when I can review the entire process.
Moving on to Implement Plan B
Actually, plan D is probably going to move into the second spot. My wife suggested it, but I really wanted to avoid it which is why I was really hoping for plan A to work. I am sure that it will work without a hitch, and would be a win-win for both of us. The problem is swallowing my pride and going to ask my mom if I can borrow some money.
You see, my mom got an inheritance from her aunt almost 2 years ago. It has been sitting in a savings account earning less than 1% interest. We sat down to review all of her finances in November 2010 when my dad got suddenly severe with Alzheimer's following shoulder surgery. He was in the nursing home for almost 2 months. I learned a lot about financial planning for medical costs at that time. Again more posts someday.
Anyway, she knows that some day when my dad (who is back at home) passes, she will need some added income for her budget since she will lose his pension. She needs more income from money just sitting around, and I could use a loan. Paying a reasonable 10% interest rate amortized over 5 years would accomplish both purposes. I am sure that she will help me out. The problem lies on me having to ask.
I am a very independent person, rarely asking anyone for help. It is a characteristic that has helped me get far and yet simultaneously holds me back. I am working to figure out how to balance those two extremes and using my drive to keep pushing while asking for help when necessary in order to create win-win type situations.
So I plan to put together my personal financial statement and a sample budget for my mom and sit down in the next few weeks to explain my dilemma. It is not something to which I am looking forward, and it will be very painful for me. But ultimately it will be the easiest and quickest solution given the time frame.
Plans C and D on Back Burner
That means I will be putting plans C and D on the back burner. Plan C involved using some personal collateral and going out to get a bank loan. I figured that I could probably come up with $35,000 in this manner and get the rest when taking some money from the 529 accounts (only earnings are taxed not the original deposits) and the Health Savings Account.
Having to sell a kidney is on the back burner as well (LOL)!
Liquidity Problems
My problem is the fact that I have been a life long saver and underestimated the amount of liquidity needed to raise 6 kids. Next week, I will actually have 5 teenagers at the same time for several months. I have more than enough in my retirement accounts where I have been saving for over a decade and in real estate equity with rental houses to knock out my tax liability for 2010 and 2011. I started implementing two of the three branches of my retirement plan without paying close enough attention to the third.
Now it is effectively impossible to get at those funds. Obviously, I was a little naive thinking that it would be easier to access that money when needed. The good thing is that I do tend to learn from my mistakes and by making so many will have plenty of wisdom as I come over the crest of that mid-life hill.
So there you have another piece of my complex life to mull over. Advice? Don't strain your liquidity by putting everything into retirement accounts and real estate because one day, credit may be cut off. Also, don't let financial issues drag you down.

Growing opposition to Mental Capacity Bill in House of Lords
Some of the most eminent peers spanning all parties have joined together to table an amendment to the Mental Capacity Bill (MCB) to prevent euthanasia through omission. They are led by Lord Walton of Detchant - former President of the General Medical Council and Chairman of the House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics (1994) which examined in depth the whole issue of euthanasia. The amendment has the support of the Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff, the Rt Revd Peter Smith. Lord Walton is supported by leading doctors and lawyers in the Lords Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Professor of Palliative Medicine); Lord McColl of Dulwich (Emeritus Professor of Surgery, Guy's Hospital, London), a Conservative Spokesman on Health; Lord Brennan QC and Lord Carlile of Berriew QC. Others include Baroness Williams of Crosby (Shirley Williams), former leader of the Lib Dem Party in the Lords; Lord Ahmed; Lord Alton of Liverpool, Baroness Howells of hospital) St Davids, Baroness Masham; Baroness Chapman, Lord Patten, Baroness Blatch (Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party); Baroness Chalker of Wallasey; Baroness Cox, and Baroness Knight of Collingtree. Other peers are adding their names, daily, as sponsors of the amendment. The MCB is due to begin its Report Stage debates on March 15. "Most people are aware that the Government amendments have certainly improved some of the most questionable aspects of the Bill" said Phyllis Bowman of Right To Life, a pressure group. "Thankfully, however, an increasing number of peers are recognising the fact that unless there is a further amendment suicidally motivated advance decisions would compel doctors to withdraw treatment (including assisted food and fluids) thus causing death through dehydration and starvation. Any doctor opposed to suicide would be compelled to conform with the advance directive - or he would be charged with assault and battery. "As the Bill has no conscience clause the doctor would be debarred from withdrawing from the case. However, a further amendment has been tabled to protect doctors with conscientious objections - but this is also opposed by the Government like the first amendment "Support is building in the Lords and we have every hope of achieving amendments if the campaign develops speedily enough. Our greatest fear is that the Government may schedule the debate so late in the day that peers will have left the House before the votes take place. Another concern is the fact that the Report Stage debates were originally to have begun on March 1 - but have been deferred because of the controversies regarding the Terrorist Bill. It is imperative that supporters throughout the country maintain the pressure in urging Peers and MPs to support the pro-life amendments and do not become disconcerted by the dates being changed." David Alton - Lord Alton of Liverpool - commented: "Such have been the improvements to the Bill that the offending clause would affect very few cases - but it is essential that we do all we can to ensure that the Bill is watertight. We are anxious that people throughout the country continue to show their support for the pro-life amendments. We must make the Government aware of public feeling on the issue."

The Nano Tornado is a quadcopter that uses four ducted fans instead of the usual exposed propellers. Exposed propellers don't just have the potential to hurt people, they can also easily be damaged in crashes. This is why Pasadena, California-based Polyhelo decided to go ahead with this drone, a 3D-printed flying prototype of which already exists.
Because the Nano Tornado doesn't have exposed propellers, it can be used in applications considered too risky for regular drones, such as flying in narrow spaces or near branches or obstacles. Moreover, it can easily be carried around in a bag and can safely be landed on users' outstretched arms.
The market for drones is expanding at a phenomenal rate, but this quadcopter still manages to stand out because of its hidden-propeller design.

Graph-based task replication for workflow applications

The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replication to overcome failures in a set of independent tasks, and in workflow applications, but they do not consider possible resource limitations when scheduling the replicas. In this paper, we focus on the use of task replication techniques for workflow applications, trying to achieve not only tolerance to the possible failures in an execution, but also to speed up the computation without demanding the user to implement an application-level checkpoint, which may be a difficult task depending on the application. Moreover, we also study what to do when there are not enough resources for replicating all running tasks. We establish different priorities of replication depending on the graph of the workflow application, giving more priority to tasks with a higher output degree. We have implemented our proposed policy in the GRID superscalar system, and we have run the fastDNAml as an experiment to prove our objectives are reached. Finally, we have identified and studied a problem which may arise due to the use of replication in workflow applications: the replication wait time.

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Aitor Karanka has made his first signing of the summer by snapping up Real Madrid goalkeeper Tomas Mejias.
The 25-year-old stopper was on loan at Boro from the Spanish giants last season but only made one appearance for the club after suffering a hand injury in his debut at Sheffield Wednesday.
Despite that, Karanka has moved quickly to tie Mejias down on a permanent basis with the Spaniard signing a two-year deal at the Riverside.
The signing again raises questions about the future of Jason Steele.
The England under-21 international was Boro's regular between the sticks while Tony Mowbray was in charge but was never able to nail down a spot in Karanka's side after seeing red in the Spaniard's first game in charge at Leeds United.
Former Hartlepool United keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos made the number one jersey his own after Christmas and his fine form earned him a one-year contract extension.
Mejias made one appearance for the Real Madrid first team during his time in the Spanish capital.
He also has six caps for Spain's under 20 team and two international appearances at under 19 level to his name.

Tees For Tots: Trendy Tadpole
Introducing another line of children's clothing that makes tees and onesies in the USA, it's Trendy Tadpole. Started in 2004, they use American Apparel which is sweatshop free. Their designers create eye popping graphics that are humorous, whimsical and retro. Here are a few examples:
Price for all designs is $22. The only thing I advise is buying one size larger as the clothes will shrink in the wash.

The pizza is fresh and delicious. We order by the pie when we are staying in town. Try the grandpa pizza its our favorite
I go here sometimes with my friends after school. They have very good pizza. I suggest getting it for takeout because there is not much seating. I would go back again.
Best pizza around and really good meatball sandwiches. Best for takeout but they do have a small outdoor space for eating. Have been returning there for years.
The pizza is amazing. The owner is a sweetheart and makes the expirence and atom sphere very enjoyable. You'll want to keep coming back. The inside is decorated with fire department items and gives you a little history of the area. Great people great food...More
Nice small little restaurant with a good new york slice. Great prices for amount you get. Place is set up like a small fire station.
I think firehouse does the best Pizza in Westhampton Beach. Owner is friendly and makes you feel welcome. Pizza not tioo greasy, which means quality ingredients,
It's decorated really cool with things from a fire dept. The prices are reasonable and it's excellent pizza. It's not really crowded so it makes it better.
friendly service and less crowds for takeout than the chaos that is its neighbor down the highway. great pizza -- not even sure if they serve other foods!

There is a reason for everything… the reason why I began this segment of writing called Flagler's Finest is because of a particular person who represents the special-ness of Flagler Beach and it's residents. If she lived in Hollywood, you'd think they named the town after her. Hollie Mahoney is indeed one of Flagler's Finest people and she has the most awesome laugh to prove it.
I first met Hollie through her son Jeremiah, who is now my dentist. They were a family of five living in a two bedroom, 750 square foot apartment. Downstairs was their meat market, which was the hub for all the town chatter. Her husband Bug, who is also her high school sweetheart and three kids, migrated down from Minnesota for a life at the beach. They resided in her sister's garage until they purchased the market and upstairs apartment. With a hundred dollars in the register and 28$ in the bank they embarked on an adventure that would affect more lives than just slicing a person a fine cut of beef.
The Mahoney apartment was like a clubhouse, as kids would pop in and out throughout the course of the day. Bug and Hollie were like surrogate parents to most of the children living in Flagler, and if you didn't know them you would definitely think they had more than just two daughters and a son. Their business also reflected their close family life as every customer that came in had a story to share and there was nothing like a meat market sub!!
Things have changed but Hollie has stayed the same wonderful person that everyone loves. She has brought her charisma and warmth to City Hall and gifted Publix with her skills behind the sub counter; and let me add that her fantastic laugh can be heard from across the aisles, bringing an instant smile to your face. Her personality and sense of humor are something that I count as a true life possession. And of course I asked her what her favorite thing about Flagler Beach is and she replied, "We just love driving over the bridge and I always say how lucky we are!"
Thank you Hollie for being an inspiration in my life!!

Scottish Premier:
The Effect
by Lucy Prebble (Spring 2015)
All the symptoms of real love
Following the critical and popular success of their productions of Iron and Outlying Islands, award-winning Firebrand produced the Scottish premiere of an unconventional and moving love story: a sexy, funny, and thought-provoking exploration of the limits of medicine in today's pill-popping culture.
Connie is a psychology student. Tristan is a charming drifter. Both have signed up to a clinical trial for a new antidepressant super-drug. Sealed off from the outside world, the attraction between them turns into deeper feelings as their doses get stronger. They've been warned of side effects – can they trust their feelings, or is this just a chemical romance?
"An astonishingly rich and rewarding play, as intelligent as it is deeply felt." ***** Daily Telegraph

"Impressive…outstanding performances" The Scotsman

Competition Policy and Regional Integration in Developing Countries
Edited by Josef Drexl, Mor Bakhoum, Eleanor M. Fox, Michal S. Gal and David J. Gerber
Chapter 3: Southern African Development Community (SADC) Regional Competition Policy
Gladmore Mamhare
Gladmore Mamhare 1. BACKGROUND The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has been in existence since 1980, when it was formed as a loose alliance of nine1 states in Southern Africa known as the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC), with the aim of coordinating development projects. It was transformed into a Development Community in 1992, when the Declaration and Treaty was signed, thereby giving the organization a legal character. The SADC now consists of 15 member states.2 The total population of the SADC was 277 million people in 2010 and its total gross domestic product (GDP) was US$577 billion.3 South Africa is the biggest economy in the Community, with a GDP of over US$282 billion, representing about 65 percent of the total SADC market. The largest country in terms of population is the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a population of about 61 million. In contrast, Botswana, Seychelles, Mauritius, Namibia and Swaziland each have populations of two million or less. The per capita GDP also varies widely, ranging from as high as US$7690 to as low as US$160. The average per capita GDP for the SADC region in 2010 was US$2074. The average growth in 2008 was 4.5 percent and declined to 2.7 percent in 2009, most likely due to the global financial crisis. 1 Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 2 Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland,...

Flip and watch Tell Me How I Die, Tell Me How I Die + Demon movie trailers…
What do you get when you mix experimental drugs and bloodthirsty murders?
Tell Me How I Die presented by Big Block Media and Base Station in association with SUPERGRAVITY pictures. This is a horror movie that takes out its victims with drugs. Cool? NOT!
The film is a sci-fi flavored fear-fest from director D.J. Viola and tells the tale of a group of college kids scarfing down an experimental drug for a study. All goes well at first, until the side effects take hold, the likes of which include the ability to see the graphic ways in which they're designed to die.
In a Final Destination-esque narrative arc, the kids try to outsmart their demises until they learn that the killer who is meant to murder them is among them. And he too can see the future…
When a group of college students take part in a clinical drug trial, an unexpected side effect of the experimental medicine gives them terrifying visions of their own deaths…which begin to come true. As they scramble to escape their fate, they discover that the killer is among them and shares their ability to see the future – only he seems to be one step ahead of their efforts to survive.
Will the victims outsmart the killer?
Probably not, but checkout the trailer:
Tell Me How I Die stars Ryan Higa (YouTube's "NigaHiga"), Nathan Kress ("iCarly"), Virginia Gardner (Project Almanac), Ethan Peck (10 Things I Hate About You), and Kirby Bliss Blanton (Project X).
Look for it in select theaters & On Demand on September 16.
If you are fans of "The Collector" and "The Collection" then this is your horror flick. This one is NOT heading to Theaters, but you can find it This September on VOD.
Josh Stewart (The Collector, The Collection) may have survived those films but his is back to fight The Neighbor.
Set in Cutter Mississippi, the film follows a man who discovers the dark truth about his neighbor and the secrets he may be keeping in the cellar. John (Josh Stewart) is left searching for his missing girlfriend,Rosie (Alex Essoe). A man sneaks into his secretive neighbor Troy's (Bill Engvall) house only to find several kidnapped people in the cellar. He must lead them out of the house of horrors before his neighbor returns.
This new face of horror is written and directed by Marcus Dunstan. The same man who brought you The Collector + The Collection. With that said, you already know the movie is going to be extra scary, horrific and terrifying to watch.
Watch the trailer for The Neighbor:
The Neighbor stars; Josh Stewart, Melissa Bolona, Alex Essoe, Bill Engvall, Ronnie Blevins, Jaqueline Fleming, and Luke Edwards this film looks like it's going to be well worth a watch.
You can see Josh Stewart in Insidious: Chapter 4 set to hit theaters October 20, 2017. The fourth intallment of Insidious will be directed by Adam Robitel and penned by Leigh Whannell.
The film tackles an old Jewish folklore. The legend of the dybbuk, is a malicious possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal, sometimes after being helped.
Demon follows
A bridegroom named Piotr 'Pyton' (Itay Tiran), who is possessed by an unquiet spirit in the midst of his own wedding celebration to his wife Zaneta (Agnieszka Zulewska), after they find a new home. They tear down a mysterious barn which awakens an evil presences. Demon is clever take on the Jewish legend of the dybbuk.

Disclosure: I received the item below to facilitate my review. All opinions stated here are my own.
School is almost out here in Florida which means Summer vacation! My son will be attending a Science and Technology camp run by the city. He loves exploring and learning new things so I knew it would be perfect. My only concern was having some educational products that will help him while he is out of school. I want to reinforce what he has learned throughout the year. Lakeshore Learning offers a variety of educational toys and games to help kids learn while still having fun.
About Lakeshore Learning
Lakeshore is dedicated to creating innovative educational materials that spark young imaginations, instill a sense of wonder and foster a lifelong love of learning. With materials for infants & toddlers through the 6th grade, we help children reach developmental milestones and achieve educational goals—while still having fun! We know that each child is unique, and we strive to develop materials that appeal to children of all interests, backgrounds and abilities.
The game setup was pretty easy. You receive the game stand, card tray holder (to place correct cards answered and incorrect cards), play money, 198 question cards, awards, and score card. The main question cards are broken up into $1, $2, and $3. The challenger cards are worth $5 if correctly answered. My son was reluctant to play because he thought he wouldn't know any of the answers. I encouraged him to play as I know he is brighter than he thinks he is. He was able to correctly answer the first few cards with no hesitation, that's when he got excited. He enjoyed the game so much that we ended up playing two rounds.
The game show game has your little contestant answering questions on language and Math. The questions were right on for things he has been learning in school. Basic addition and subtraction, word recognition, counting in the higher number range, and many more.
Once the game is complete take your child's score sheet and log on to the Lakeshore Learning website. Enter the game card number into the designated area and see what your child needs help with. My son got 6 questions wrong so I went to the Lakeshore Learning website, clicked on the "Are you Ready? Games" area, pulled up his game, entered the answers he got wrong and I received a list of printable activity sheets to help him with those skills. I enjoyed playing with my son and it really helped me see what areas he is struggling with. It is something I can work on with him this Summer. The game show game made it fun for him to learn instead of sitting down doing multiple pages of a workbook. The game is more interactive. If you have a school age kid I definitely recommend it for an educational Summer fun item.

It makes me giggle to think of Roger sitting in front of his battery-powered tv, realizing how little people think of him after he lied to Congress…
Estranged former Yankee Roger Clemens was "heartbroken" when his former team left him out of Sunday night's Stadium-farewell festivities, which included a video montage honoring the Bronx Bombers' greatest pitchers – but not him, a relative told The Post yesterday.
Clemens was sitting at home in hurricane-ravaged Texas, in front of a battery-operated television on his living room couch, when the team delivered a final crushing blow to its former star.
Clutching wife Debbie's hand on one side and mother-in-law Jan Wild's on the other, Clemens tuned in to his final team's last home game hoping for some recognition for helping win two World Series titles, Wild said.
But that Rocket never launched.
When the team played the video celebrating its greatest players at every position, the steroid-scandal-scarred Clemens was nowhere to be seen.
"Debbie and I held his hand while we watched the game, and he was heartbroken," said Wild, 70. "Not mad. He still loves baseball and the Yankees, but it was sad what they did to him."

First-order relatives of schizophrenic patients are not impaired in the Continuous Performance Test
Sustained attention deficits measured by the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) have been reportedly proposed as an endophenotype of schizophrenia. One requirement for an endophenotype is that unaffected first-order relatives must show deteriorated performance compared to healthy controls. We investigated 56 schizophrenic patients, 33 nonaffected first-order relatives, and 36 healthy controls in a degraded and an undegraded version of the CPT of the AX type. Performance of relatives and controls was roughly identical whereas schizophrenic patients performed worse right from the beginning. These results add further evidence that a deficit in the CPT performance is not an endophenotype of schizophrenia in accordance with previous studies.

Have you already made or are you going to make any purchases or upgrades for the new boat or associated gear/accessories for this year? Also, any noteworthy trips you plan or intend to plan to make for 2017? Any multi days or just lot of day trips or a combination of the above? I myself am slowing accumulating the stuff to get my Cataraft together (in my sig is what I will have in the very near future, already have some of the things). The plan is to get comfortable on the new boat this year doing lots of day trips on weekends and then maybe a week off or two for a trip somewhere (still deciding on where, have a few ideas right now for the short range and long range for trips). Some whitewater trips, some fishing/boating trips, etc. Lots of ideas. Lots of day dreaming these days. Can't wait to get out on the new boat soon!

A quick and easy lunch option for topping any salad or filling a sandwich with. Low-fat, gluten free and the delicious, sweet flavors of apple and curry in one chicken salad recipe.
"Ever get in a lunch rut? Need new ideas for packing your kids or your own lunch? Are packable noontime options dwindling? Surely youve met the What shall I pack for lunch? question head-on with creative ideas."
This was the Recipe Redux's theme for April, and I began thinking…what do I turn to when I'm sick of bringing my typical turkey sandwich or salad with chicken breast on it for lunch?
Instantly I remembered one of my favorite staples to make and keep on hand for when I'm feeling lazy. Chicken Salad!
But not the typical, heavy, mayo-based chicken salad. This one uses Greek Yogurt to keep the recipe low in fat, yet still making it just as creamy and delicious!
Free of those not-so-healthy additives…my kinda recipe!
Which reminds me… Look at this COOL tank top my friend Lauren from SewRedeemed hand-stitched for me based on my #FreshFitNFREE theme!
Isn't it awesome? I love it, because it has so many meanings, depending on what you're needing freedom from today 🙂
Anyways…then for the add-ins to this delicious recipe: diced apple, walnuts, dried cranberries, celery, red onion, and curry spice!
I'm not sure about you, but I LOVE curry powder. It adds such a delicious flavor! (probably why I LOVE Indian food too).
Curry powder has TONS of benefits too. To list a few:
- prevention of cancer, protection against heart disease, reduce Alzheimers disease symptoms, ease pain and inflammation, boost bone health, protect the immune system from bacterial infections, and increase the livers ability to remove toxins from the body!
This chicken salad used to be a staple in my house when I lived at home, and now has come back into my life as a grad student, because, it's super simple and cheap! You can use leftover chicken breasts and shred it…or buy the canned chicken which I typically do! (I promise it's not nasty like you may think!)
Top a salad with it, fill up a sandwich or croissant with it, or just eat it on it's own with some veggies and crackers! Any way you eat it, it will be delicious!
Remember my leftover I made after Thanksgiving? Well, this is basically the same thing with a few changes!
Yep, curry is that good, I use it in any salad I make! 🙂
So before I go:
- What is YOUR favorite lunch to pack on the go?
- If you use curry spice, how is your favorite way to do so?
- What are your thoughts on the tank top? What are you wanting freedom from today?!
xo, Sarah Grace
Serves: 2-3
- 1 12.5-oz can Chicken Breast
- 6 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup Walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup Dried Cranberries or Raisins
- ¼ cup Celery, diced

- 1 small Apple, diced
- 1 tbsp Curry Powder
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- Optional: 1 tbsp Honey if apple and cranberries aren't sweet enough for you! (I was fine without)
- Drain chicken breast and place in bowl.
- Add in all other ingredients and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate until using.
- Top a salad, fill a sandwich or croissant, or simply eat plain with some veggies on the side!

Infinity Ward Rushes To Fix POW Servers
The hoards of PlayStation 3 gamers eager to try out Call of Duty 4 online proved to be too much for the servers, which gave up the fight after a short while. With connection errors bombing the game experience to the ground during the weekend, Infinity Ward had to get back in action and save the day.
November 13, 2007
"The only real issue is that the servers we're getting hit really hard, especially with the launch in Europe doubling that traffic, just something that requires optimising on the server side and we've been working with the PSN COD4 Server team from the moment it started having issues assisting any way we can to help them get them up to speed faster."
As it follows, the firm announced that they were "upgrading all server hardware as well as dedicated an individual database to each functionality to improve performance and handle the traffic hitting the servers". Gamers are warned that the "Downloading Game Settings" message might pop up during the update: "just let it download and you will eventually drop into a lobby and play just fine."
"Remember, this is just short term, eventually once everything is upgraded you won't be receiving Downloading Game Settings at all. However, if you do, just wait it out and you will be dropped into a lobby," the message states.
So have a little patience for the time being.

It's a reminder of the great little innovation bubble we live in that we always hear about startups trying to grow while the rest of the business world seems to be shrinking. Sure, startups are affected by the recession but that doesn't mean firing is a bigger concern than hiring. Just the opposite.
We've just launched a new section of our site where we'll be highlighting jobs at great startups in the Flow Ventures network (our investments, our clients and our friends). We'll also be promoting entrepreneurs who are looking to find co-founders. If you're looking for co-founders (no matter where you are), send us a bit about yourself and who you're looking for. We'll help get the word out.
Take a look: http://flowventures.standoutjobs.com
At Flow Ventures, we have the privilege of working with startups from the idea stage to periods of rapid growth. One thing experienced entrepreneurs know is that there isn't anything more important than building a great team. But it's not easy. You have to find people with a combination of skill, passion (bordering on fanaticism), and humor. When you're trying to find co-founders, you need people who understand that your project is a long-term commitment.
We're launching with postings for a senior C# Web developer, two front-end developers (here and here), a project manager, and a PHP developer/founder for a file-sharing startup. Stay tuned for more.

I got all excited there for a minute when I saw this new iTunes Widget thingy. But it doesn't do the one thing I'd like it to, List currently playing songs on MY iTunes. It shows album/songs I recently purchased, albums/songs I've reviewed (none) or my Favorites which is merely a list of the artists I've purchased most at iTunes. It would be cooler if this was actual data from MY iTunes listening.
If you look in the sidebar to the right you will see a heading called "iTunes is Playing". This is a near realtime list of what I am listening to right now. The only lag is that is is a very bandaged together system that uses the old KungTunes to publish locally and then an Interarchy mirror to upload because KungTunes stopped being able to directly upload a long time ago, like at iTunes 4 or 5 and development stopped back then (2004).
Right below that is a Last FM widget that does even more. Not only does it list tracks scrobbled from iTunes but it lists songs that I listen to right on the Last FM radio stations.
I liked my band-aid solution because it serves MY interest, not Apple's or Last FM's by automatically generating a link to Amazon where you could grease me a bit through the affiliate program if you bought the album there. Obviously both Apple and Last FM want you to go to there sites and spend your rupees there. I guess we are all self serving!
If the iTunes Widget let me make coin from my iTunes affiliate account maybe it would be more useful to me. Also, I went through my library and of the nearly 5,000 songs about 250 have been purchased at iTunes. the iTunes Widget is hardly representative of my total listening habits.
Anyway, here is what my Apple iTunes Widget looks like:
Oh, if you looked at the "Songs" section and noticed "That's What Friend's Are For" in three versions, don't hate me. My daughter had to sing it for a 2nd Grade project so I got those for her to practice with!

Results 1 to 15 of 36
What Information Does Casey Receive Now?
I have been thinking...with ICA locked up for 2 years and little communication with the outside world except from her lawyers....what reality is she living in? Who gives her information? And what kind of information? TV, guards, clergy, inmates? Does she have a clue about the evidence against her? Or are her lawyers spinning a different story/hope for her. AND....if she had real, true info...would that lead her to finally confess? Is anyone speaking truth to her?
Good Question!
This is something I've been wondering about for quite awhile. I know a number of posters here and on other sites think ICA is directing every move of her defense, but I don't see how that is possible.
According to her visitor lists, Baez and her other lawyers seldom visit - it doesn't even seem to be once a month, so how can she possibly know what goes on. She gets - what - an hour each day out of her cell, so I doubt she would be able to watch much television, she doesn't have any computer access or cell phone, she has no other visitors, but does have a radio.
I wonder how much this case is being discussed on the airwaves. Does anyone in Florida know? Probably not much. I think she is pretty much shut away in her own little world and spends the day dreaming the time away and planning for when she is free again.
Also, I suspect she is on some kind of anti-anxiety medication to keep her calm.
Don't mean to be the only poster on my thread....but I guess what I am getting to is that I don't think I am the only one here that is hoping that Truth will come out in the end. Deep down, we all hope she will finally confess. But confession often comes when there is no where else to turn. I am worried that her lawyers are presenting a false hope to her and thus preventing a normal heartfelt confession that would serve KC, her parents, her community, her country and ultimately, baby Caylee justice and peace
I think some of you are giving Casey too much credit for being a pawn. I believe she thinks she is running the show, teaching her lawyers the law, and crabbing about being a celebrity in the media. I believe she is living in a fantasy world with her attorneys. Which is probably why Baez does not want her family to see her. If they leaked that Casey's thinking is bizarre to the media it would be detrimental to her defense.
I love this kitten licking avatar. Every time I see it (when I'm logged into WS) I'm amused.
I know she has a radio as she mentioned that in her letters.....so from that I think she would get a bit of news, however radio news (and am assuming it's not internet radio) is nowhere near as comprehensive as TV news (well here anyway, correct me if the US is different) so I can't imagine her getting the commentary.....actually, I just realized....Casey listening to anything other than the music channels...pretty unlikely.
I doubt if she really has a 'feel' for reality. And I am also concerned that her lawyers have given her false hope, and am concerned that she is somewhat isolated by Baez in that she does not have contact with her family / friends anymore, and that she may also be a future meal ticket for him.
Not good.

Hello WS
Well, whatever is being talked about between Casey and her lawyers, my guess is there is no truth or honesty involved. Casey is busy lying and deceiving them as they do the same to her. I would bet the farm on that simply because it has been shown none of them can tell the truth or follow the rules.
After reading in Today's news, with the latest press conference and addition of members of Casey's team...and(sigh)a thread I have not gone to yet that said something about "deadlines extended." I swear, if this judge lets the defense team hold up this trial any longer...I will do nothing...because there is NOTHING I can do about it. I have no power. There are people with power...but they do not seem as upset as I am about how justice is being carried out. Ah, growing up and realizing it is not the good people who run the world: priceless.
In Casey's letters to Robyn, it seemed like she had access to television, internet and we know her family was able to pass her letters through JB. She gets to sit in court and hear what non-sense is coming out of her attys mouths and we hear her tell the judge she is fine with her defense. I wouldn't think a person can be in jail(they have not been found guilty yet)and be "cut off" from understanding the process they are involved in-from what I have learned from this case: the perp has ALL THE RIGHTS. When it comes to the innocent, I am certainly glad and support our system of Republic where the rights of the individual outweigh the rights of the majority. But, IMHO Casey is guilty and so we watch a system that, I feel has let her "team" get away with murder. (Pun intended). I said in a post on another thread, earlier: JB has made a mockery of our system. Has been ALLOWED to make a mockery of justice. IMHO.
I have come to the conclusion that JB/the whole team except those who have left and Casey all think this is the OJ trial. Casey is not OJ and JB is not Johnny C! The whole world was waiting with bated breath during that ordeal. It was on TV all the time! There were shows on tv about what was going on, news programs, etc.
This is NOT what is going on here. I think JB/the team, Casey and all who are looking for the money to come rolling in because of this case-are in for a rude awakening. They thought stretching this out was what would bring in the most money, but they will find time has passed them by...

Beautiful Rox.
Sept. 18, 1997 - May 26 2012
Rest peacefully my love I'll forever miss you.
Does she have access to a daily newspaper? I've wondered about this a few times.Neighborhood Watch is...
NOT the Vigilante Police
But the reality that I perceive is that Casey is not being mislead, played or deceived by her legal team. I think they are all gaming one another. I don't think Casey has ever told them the truth, they're happy she hasn't, and they in turn are playing her right along for their best interest. I don't think there is any truth to be found in that entire corner of the courtroom. They all deserve one another.
Please do not worry your pure heart (which I admire you for having!) because Casey's perspective is probably that she recognizes someone of her same ilk and either thinks they are buddies and can overcome the truth or that she can outsmart everyone. I don't think it would matter to her what the truth or reality of the situation is ~ IMO her attitude would remain one of superiority in spite of all facts.The heart of the pure can see, but my eyes have never seen the unicorn . . .

Baez is treating Casey like a mushroom -- keeping her in the dark and feeding her moo-poo.
And she doesn't care.We have enough youth. How about looking for a Fountain of Smart?
Casey is probably doing some Bible studies, reading a lot, but is she corresponding with people who write her? I'd like to know if she tries to chat and manipulate the guards who let her out of the cell and bring her food daily. I read an opinion written by a mental health expert who does not believe that Casey will ever confess or give any details of what happened. She said that if it were an accident Casey would have shown signs of guilt after awhile and confess, but since there has been no confession or true guilt, Casey truly must have premeditated and will never tell.
Here are the potential things/information she could be missing:
-Tony might have a beautiful, loving girlfriend
-Maybe Amy got a great job and bought a house
-Ryan could be getting married and/or expecting his first child
-JP could be moving on to major film productions
-Sean could be ready to buy his own tattoo shop
-Brandon could be risking his life in Afghanistan
KC stated in one of her letters that she was somewhat relieved that Caylee would not experience the hurts that come in life....yet she never acknowledged the beautiful road that we all travel, what is to come, how we can all succeed and have varying and gratifying stories. Her short-sighted idiocy....I hope she is way out of the loop on some very good things that are happening to the people she surrounded herself with.
drip~drop,I am waiting for the day!! When she cried in court I thought AH she is beginning to crack.I really think LA.meant his remark to be sarcastic and that is the way she took it.Same when Ashton came out with duct tape etc.I dont think she is going to be able to hold up.They are not preparing her for what is coming,but just sugar coating things. I cant wait to see it!!!!My Buffy. He lives in Heaven now
with my loved ones..xoxox
