There is something about Sacramento! Time and time again we hear about how geographically Sacramento is in the middle of everything: water, mountains, deserts… But there is some inexplicable appeal to this small metropolis, because when locals leave, they frequently return.
Erica and Keegan, for example, grew up in Sacramento and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in the early 2000s. Erica headed for the bay area for college, and after she graduated, found herself back here. Now she has a career as an environmental scientist. Keegan chose to aid and protect others by becoming a police officer.
This congenial couple lived modestly for about two years in the Freeport/Land Park area. They enjoyed its proximity to downtown, but it simply wasn't enough space for them. After renting for a while, they realized that as nice as their landlords were they wanted to make their own changes, and invest in something bigger. They were engaged, and knew they needed space to expand their family, wink, wink.
Married last May, they found their place by happenstance. Erica said "we weren't that serious when we found the house." They would surf the net and look at things here and there, but had the luxury of time. Keegan said they had a vague conception of the home buying process, but really needed guidance. These two are eternally grateful for the services Michael Glascock provided because he helped them through the home buying process from beginning to end. They especially appreciated his responsiveness and availability. Because of this assistance they found a home in a cluster of homes with similar designs, and they got one of the last two in the group, the show house. This provided them the opportunity, as Erica said, to get more "bang for your buck." The bang she refers to is a three bedroom/two bathroom house with a spacious back yard.
When they moved in in September, they had next to no remodeling or touching up to do. They added curtains, that's about it! However, their back yard was simply a dirt lot with a small slab of concrete outside the back door, and some weeds. About five weeks ago they finished the yard which is now a carpet of grass outlined by wood chips. They also have a space dedicated for harnessing the cats because, well, they are runners, and their neighbors have dogs. They go above and beyond to care for their little furry felines. If their attention to them is any indication of their parenting prowess, they will be just fine!
Now that they have all this open space, they host more often, and what great hosts they are! They are free to enjoy their barbecue patio, their drum set and a garage. Erica and Keegan, we wish you the best!

Why would I need two different tests? What is a companion instrument?
Insight Assessment critical thinking tests are used world wide to assess critical thinking skills (cognitive strategies usually measured as critical thinking ability) and critical thinking dispositions (mindset/attributes/habits of mind associated with excellence in critical thinking).
Skills tests target the core critical thinking skills essential to the kind of thinking and reasoning required to decide what to believe or what to do in novel problem situations. Skills measured by Insight Assessment's critical thinking skills tests include: analysis, interpretation, inference, evaluation, explanation, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.
Dispositions (Mindset) Tests measure the attributes and values that influence the test taker's capacity to learn and to effectively apply critical thinking skills. Habits of mind measured by Insight Assessment's dispositions tests include: disposition toward truth seeking or bias, toward open mindedness or intolerance, toward anticipating possible consequences, toward proceeding in a systematic or unsystematic way, toward being confident in the powers of reasoning, toward being inquisitive and toward mature and nuanced judgment.
For a complete assessment of a test taker's critical thinking, it is recommended that the test taker be offered both a skills and a dispositions test. Insight Assessment offers an extensive array of test instruments calibrated to specific test takers. Companion measures are targeted to the same test takers. Together the companion instruments provide a comprehensive measurement of whether a test taker is 'willing and able' to think well.

A good online travel agent provides personalized services. (Photo: travel airport image by jeancliclac from Fotolia.com )
In this age of book-it-yourself and bid-for-the-deal travel Websites, securing the services of an online travel agent can seem redundant. However, there are good reasons that travel agents are not obsolete, as these travel professionals have expertise and provide personalized recommendations and services not found anywhere else. The key is to find and choose an online travel agent that will be the best fit for helping you plan your perfect getaway.
Ask friends, family or coworkers for recommendations to online travel agents they have used in the past. Word-of-mouth is still the best way to find a great travel agent. Ask specific questions about their experiences, such as why they chose a particular online travel agent, destinations they booked and the level of customer service received, which helps to determine if the agent is a good fit for your plans.
Perform a search and plan on spending time analyzing the results. Online travel agents generally have a prominent Web presence. Search for \"travel agent,\" but include other, more specific search terms that describe the type of trip you are trying to book (such as \"honeymoon\" or \"educational tour\"), the destination (for instance, \"Bali,\" \"The Pacific Northwest,\" or \"Europe\") and any specific needs or wants you have (such as \"child friendly,\" \"handicapped accessible,\" \"budget,\" or \"senior\"). This will whittle down your internet searches somewhat, however, many websites do still \"stuff\" themselves with keywords that may or may not be applicable. Look for professional-looking websites that appear to have been recently updated and which feature customer testimonials.
Review the agentâ??s specializations. While many are generalists, travel agents do tend to have a niche in which they have expertise. Twenty-year veteran travel agent Molly Sumption, owner of Mollyâ??s Caribbean in the Pacific Northwest, says, â??A good travel agent will be able to give you recommendations based on their personal experience at the destination--give you  a personal view beyond tourism brochures.â?
Contact the agent directly, either by email or phone, and speak with them about the services they provide. A good online travel agent should be available to you before and during your travel, advising on how to find the best rates, how to prepare for your trip, things you should expect or look out for during your travels and be available to you should something unexpected happen (for example, sudden hurricanes in the Caribbean or other natural disasters).

Starting a new job can be an exciting yet daunting process. When starting as a senior leader, it is likely that your new colleagues will have similar feelings about your appointment. In this article, Nathan Waites sets out a number of ways to make the transition easier, for both you and your colleagues.
Stress continues to be a problem in schools, and can affect individual staff and leaders, as well as the school overall. Andrew Blench considers the different manifestations of stress, and the ways in which different personalities can handle stress to ensure an efficient, productive workplace.
Many SBMs are responsible for managing the school site and health and safety, and 'learning walks' are a great way of staying on top of this significant and complex remit. In the first article in a two-part series, Matt Bromley outlines some best practice for conducting learning walks.
Claire Ashton, of IT Governance, considers the implications for schools of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

How Brand became a Legit Financial Asset
Brands are potent, valuable and rare. Successful brands drive consumer loyalty, creating long-term economic benefits and confirming with the definition of an asset. However, as late as the 1980s accountancy was unable to accommodate these assets.
Following the lead of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, the British Bakeries and foods company, Ranks Hovis McDougall, valued it brands $1 billion on its 1988 balance sheet. Next in line was the mighty Grand Metropolitan (now Diageo).
These brand valuations went largely unremarked till 1988 when Ranks Hovis McDougall (RHM), Britain's major Flour and baking company, decided to value all its brands, acquired and otherwise, and to place this valuation on its balance sheet. In 1989, the London Stock Exchange endorsed the concept of brand valuation as used by RHM by allowing inclusion of intangible assets in the class tests for shareholder approvals during takeovers. This proved to be the impetus for a wave of major branded-goods companies to recognize the value of brands as intangible assets on their balance sheets.
As of the year ended June 30, 2017, P&G carries $24 Billion of brand value on its balance sheet. The majority of this is for the Gillette brand, which it acquired in 2005, just after the new rules had come into effect.

Recreation of Thrones is the title of the first e book in a but to be completed fantasy series by George R.R. Martin, entitled A Music Of Fire And Ice. I had a 3ds since launch and it was just depressing till some months in the past, now I've too much to play, should you ever get one fo for a XL. I still suppose it is best to play 999 even if you principally know the "big plot twist" by now. By the time the patch got here out, DR solely barely worked on one emulator, PPSSPP, and it required some awkward hacks to make it work.
There are additionally a large number of great VN in English, including both Hotel Nightfall video games and the Ace Legal professional collection. It's a mix of VN story with grid-based tactical RPG gameplay. Steins;Gate's story relies on its enjoyable lead characters and is a pleasure to learn through.
Steins;Gate is a sci-fi time travel story remarkably totally different from some other. It is a good game, whereas I sometimes play my video games on PC this can be a good recreation to play with a controller sitting on the couch. The sport is a direct continuation of the unique Steins;Gate from 2009.
One other sequel that ranks high on our prime visual novels for Vita list is Zero Escape: Advantage's Final Reward. Steins Gate is coming this year for both PS3 and Vita. All through the story, glimpses into an Illusionary World are proven. Perhaps males far much less prone to read a romance story if it would not function pornography so the marketplace for all-ages titles skew in direction of women and creators of these need to concentrate on that demographic solely.
For textual content heavy, id advocate ateliers or simply get persona from ps2 classics. She'll want all of her cunning, dedication, and exceptional perception to get herself and her fellow members-all obtainable bachelors-out alive and perhaps, with a little bit luck, find love along the best way.

Peace in the Pacific
Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God, who raises the dead … On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
2 Corinthians 1:9 &10b
As soon as the ocean water covered my feet I could not believe the undertow. It felt like a magnet pulling and tugging at me. Not the strongest swimmer, I decided I better not venture out very far into the Pacific Ocean.
Thinking I would not go out too far and not going out too far proved two different things entirely. Before I knew it the waves crashed over my head.
The realization that I could very well drown hit me with each mighty wave. I tried to do all of the things I had heard one should do in that situation -- remain calm, not grab for anyone, tread water, swim parallel to the beach. Nothing worked.
I finally gave up the struggle and admitted to God that I could not make it. I told Him that I would drown out there without His intervention.
As I talked to Him, it seemed like time stopped for a few long seconds.
Suddenly, a peace washed over me. The fear totally left me. I did not really care about the end result which would soon follow whether life or death. I remembered the little song from childhood about the "peace which passes understanding," but I had not experienced it so tremendously until that precise moment.
Amazingly, the next thing I knew, the waves subsided and the water went down to my knees. In spite of the undertow, I managed to trudge out of the ocean and onto the safety of the sandy beach.
God had given me a most meaningful gift, one which still gives me strength to this day, the gift of His Peace in the Pacific.
God, thank you for Your peace which certainly does pass all understanding. You are our deliverer. Amen.

We need a new environmental consciousness on a global basis. To do this, we need to educate people.
—Mikhail Gorbachev
We are thrilled to announce really exciting news!
Colchester High School recently won a $2,000 Vermont VPA Service Learning and Leadership Project grant offered through a partnership with the Vermont Principals' Association (VPA) and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
The Corporation for National and Community Service is the primary funding source for the award. It it a federal program focusing upon programs aimed at addressing human needs as well as issues concerning education, the environment, and poverty. Its mission, according to its website, is "to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering."
CHS won the award for its plan—which is spearheaded by Humanities teacher Sean MacArdle and sophomore Christopher Prado—to design student learning opportunities about sustainability by creating and pioneering a sustainability-oriented student organization.
The project is called Net Impact High School, and it is modeled after the nonprofit organization Net Impact. Net Impact, founded in 1993 under a different name, champions social and environmental causes through a vast network of dedicated college students and professionals consisting of more than 280 chapters around the world. CHS's Net Impact High School will be the nation's first high school chapter, and its mission has far-reaching—perhaps even national—potential.
The program was initially devised partly in response to the identified lack of sustainability-related learning opportunities currently available to CHS students and partly in an effort to conserve and protect Vermont's beauty and resources. By trailblazing this important organization, CHS students will have the opportunity to not only positively impact our community's efforts to manage social and environmental challenges but will also grow as better agents of social and environmental responsibility. One of the anticipated outcomes of this project is the increased incorporation of sustainable practices into CHS's culture and climate. And, from an academic and career-oriented perspective, it will further facilitate exposure to a number of growing sustainability-focused employment fields, thereby linking student learning and sustainability-related efforts to their futures while simultaneously enhancing the participating students' leadership skills.
In addition to the monetary award through the VPA, the program has considerable support from CHS's student body and faculty as well as from Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR). Some of VBSR's green technologies and practices could be implemented into Colchester High School, and a number of area professionals in affiliation with the organization are willing to lend their expertise and experience to the Net Impact High School initiative.
This project is an all-around win-win, and its anticipated benefits—both immediate and long-term—are invigorating. Facilitating an increased emphasis on sustainability education—and providing opportunities for leadership development and career preparation in the process—is an excellent example of the forward thinking that the district works hard to promote and encourage. And that CHS's Net Impact High School will be the first ever of its kind is truly exciting and inspiring.

In a direct assault on the freedoms of speech and religion, the California Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill that would, in effect, prohibit the dissemination of traditional Christian teaching on homosexuality and transgenderism.
The Assembly voted 50-14 to criminalize "a transaction intended to result or that results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer" that consists of "advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual." The bill defines "sexual orientation change efforts" as "any practices that seek to change an individual's sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex."
Because the bill amends the state's consumer fraud act, which applies to goods and services, its critics suggest "it would go so far as to ban the sale of books endorsing the practice, as well as other forms of constitutionally-protected speech," reports LifeSiteNews.
In its legal analysis of the bill, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) writes: "At its core, AB 2943 outlaws speech, whether offered by a licensed counselor, a best-selling author, or even a minister or religious leader. It targets a specific message — that an adult who is experiencing unwanted same-sex attraction or gender identity confusion can find help to address those issues — for censorship. The breadth of this censorship is staggering."
In short, any time money changes hands, it would be illegal to challenge the prevailing LGBT orthodoxy.
Dr. Robert Gagnon lists several potential outcomes of the bill:
To sell any materials or offer any counseling for a fee that present homosexual practice and transgender identity as wrong or a sin, including all commentaries on the Bible and theological or exegetical treatments that affirm the biblical position on these matters (perhaps even the Bible itself) is to incur criminal sanctions in the state of California….
Any counselor that suggests to clients that homosexual practice or transgender identification is in any way wrong or unhealthy, irrespective of whether they offer "orientation change" services will become a criminal in the eyes of the state.
No one in the state of California could teach a course at an institution where tuition is paid that in any way challenged LGBTQ ideology, nor could students be required or recommended to purchase books that challenged such.
No church, Christian bookstore, or internet site could be a conduit for the sale of any literature that challenges homosexual practice or transgender identity. Amazon could not sell to California residents any such literature.
The bill's supporters, naturally, deny that it would be construed so broadly. Questioned about the bill's implications, Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low, who introduced it, "claimed that preaching and other forms of speech would be safe; only advertising or selling conversion therapy would be illegal," says LifeSiteNews.
However, as the American Conservative's Rod Dreher observed, "Christians who pay attention are by now immune to the reassurances from the cultural left that their worst fears are overblown." Indeed, it seems few Christians in the know are buying what Left is selling.
"The State of California has no right to deny its residents the resources to help them find happiness or to shut down counselors, schools, and religious organizations that provide those services," California Family Council CEO Jonathan Keller said in a statement. "Every person experiencing unwanted same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria must be allowed to pursue help in achieving their desired goals and outcomes."
The California Catholic Conference also opposes the legislation, saying, "The broad reach of [the bill] leaves even simple religious speech on same-sex attraction or activities open to legal action and impinges on the basic human right of freedom of religion."
The bill still has to be passed by the state Senate and signed by Governor Jerry Brown to become law. After that, it will almost certainly be challenged in court, where many observers believe it would be struck down as unconstitutional. Whether that turns out to be the case or not, the fact that the bill has gotten this far demonstrates that the militant LGBT crowd and its allies will stop at nothing to silence dissenters.

I am home for a few days from a Chicago wedding and field work in Nebraska. I was hoping to have better internet access at each location. I have finished the green socks. I had plenty of yarn - yeah!!!. But no pictures today. Now I am worrying about having enough of my handspun yarn!
I have made some progress on my swimming pool socks, but the fabric does not feel as soft as I would like and I may start over with larger needles.
Other than that, we are packing away and getting ready to move.

Calcium Carbonate Powder Mill
Calcium Carbonate Powder Mill Introduction
Including heavy calcium carbonate powder general light calcium, heavy calcium carbonate known as TSP, white powder processing quality calcite raw materials, the main ingredient is CaCO3, high whiteness, high purity, tone soft chemicals, heavy calcium powder. Ingredients are stable. Therefore, GCC is often used as a good filler in industry. Light calcium powder is limestone and the resulting carbon dioxide dehydration, drying and grinding system. Calcium carbonate is a white odorless powder, is one of the most widely used inorganic filler. As a high quality white pigment and filler, calcium carbonate is cheap, rich in resources, good quality, widely used in paint, plastics, rubber. Calcium carbonate powder coating is applied to achieve high extraction rate, high spraying area, no sand, no heavy metal and other excellent properties.
For calcium carbonate products, there are some exports in terms of the total output balance between supply and demand, but the product structure, the oversupply of medium and low-grade products and the shortage of high-end products, still need to rely on imports. In recent years, China's calcium carbonate imports have been high, mainly in the form of fine ground calcium carbonate for paper, as well as ultra-fine calcium. According to the import analysis of this region, the large amount of calcium carbonate imported by China are guangdong, jiangsu, henan, fujian, zhejiang and Beijing, among which the pulp is basically calcium carbonate products. The domestic calcium carbonate pulverizer, high-strength pulverizer technology constantly improves, carries on the deep processing to the calcium carbonate fine powder, has been able to apply to many fields, including in the papermaking aspect, completely can with the import calcium carries on the showdown.
Milling machine for processing superfine heavy calcium carbonate
Light and heavy calcium is required for the fineness and purity of calcium powder. Zenith medium speed mill, superfine mill can effectively solve these problems, especially suitable for the processing of heavy calcium powder. With the closed system of medium-speed mill and the matching of pulsed dust removal equipment, raw materials can be used to guarantee the avoidance of dust and noise pollution in the process, and the equipment operates stably with high efficiency. TSP mill is very popular. We can say that the company's calcium carbonate powder mill is the preferred preparation technology and technology of heavy calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate powder fineness heavy calcium carbonate processing equipment, mainly processing 300-3000 mesh, can be adjusted freely, different fine calcium carbonate powder use, customers can be based on their actual needs production, general fly powder fineness requirements are very high, about 300 purpose fineness. The main advantage of using this calcium carbonate processing device is that you can say processing heavy calcium powder fineness and cutting high yield is relatively large.
Therefore, in most applications, calcium carbonate must have been processed into powder that can be added to other materials and fully integrated. This requires strong support from the calcium carbonate powder mill. In its crushing process, ramon talked about the grinding process that needs or other high pressure grinding. There are many fields for different requirements of calcium carbonate. Zenith launched the depth of grinding equipment of calcium carbonate grinding process, the care package Raymond calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate, high-pressure suspension mill, high pressure grinding calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate, micro grinding, can make good use of calcium carbonate grinding processing, but different model have different fineness, can undertake choosing according to the specific needs of users.

Its hard to build trust with a customer in an industry where so many things might go wrong. She wrote four papers for me in total and I am not going to order any more, but if not for her I dont think I wouldve graduated with such flying colours. We need to store some of your contact and ordering details for discount purposes, but the ones that we store are encrypted and protected from any unauthorized access. I could cope with all those papers by myself but having someone else do it saved me a lot of time. Our offer is simple: here you can get a custom written paper in any subject and of any length and type. It is completely unique, well-researched and properly-referenced. You can request a plagiarism report with your paper to review the results yourself. There are many other options available for international, and any other student that may be struggling to keep up, from study groups, to programs within schools and Universities, such as writing centers. "I have witnessed the steady growth of this industry for years.

London taxi driver, Allan Lewis has had his cab decorated with the image of Strictly Come Dancing stars Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara in a bid to impress his wife.
The idea arose when Lewis picked up the dance stars back in November 2016 and mentioned that his wife, Janice was a huge fan and would be impressed if he wrapped his taxi to advertise 'Remembering Fred' starring both Skorjanec and Manrara.
The dancers then promised to get Allan and his wife front row seats if he did decorate his taxi so he took them up on the offer.
Tickets are now available for the show which arrives at the London Palladium in April.

Psalm 37:23 (NASB) The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way.
It gently steered me back to center. I had the opportunity to drive a newer vehicle, and I was amazed at the technology. I weaved a little in my lane of traffic and the sensors picked it up and began to correct my course of travel. Today's verse speaks of the steps we may take. If they are the ones established by the Lord, He will delight in our way. There are times in a man's life where he may begin to drift off center. It seems that his steps are going in the right direction, but he has fallen off the path of His way. It's times like these that we could use the guidance of the Holy Spirit to gently put us back on center course. Do you have the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a few godly men to steer you straight?
Personal Application: Continue spending time with the Lord daily. Sow righteousness and reap the fruit of God's unfailing love.
Family Devotion: Read this chapter with your family. Ask them if anything spoke to them and discuss. Pray with them.

LONDON (Reuters) - If there is a lesson for Prime Minister David Cameron from Denmark's 'No' vote, it may be that complacency could allow Britain to drop out of the European Union when voters decide on membership in a referendum likely next year.
Denmark's voters ignored advice from politicians, business leaders and the media, and said "No" to more EU laws aimed at fighting cross-border crime, underscoring a broader disenchantment across Europe after years of crisis and sluggish economic growth.
Cameron faces a harder task than Denmark's elite. He must convince 27 other EU leaders to grant him a deal and then sell that package to voters who polls show are jaded by EU crises over everything from Greece to an influx of migrants.
"The Danish referendum shows you cannot be complacent: You can't as a political elite say 'Ah yes, this is in the bag' because it is not, certainly in Britain," said Sara Hobolt, professor of European Institutions at the London School of Economics' European Institute.
Hobolt, who is from Denmark, said the referendum showed how views of the mainstream elite could not be relied upon to sway voters. She added that she would not bet money on the British referendum as the outcome was still far from clear.
A divorce between Britain and the EU would shake, and could possibly sink, the 28-country Union, ripping away its second largest economy and one of its top two military powers.
Britain's future is also at stake. Some pro-Europeans warn an exit from the EU would hurt the economy and could prompt another vote on Scottish independence. Opponents of EU membership say Britain would prosper outside and that warnings from pro-Europeans are overblown.
European Council President Donald Tusk said on Thursday that a discussion with Cameron at an EU summit this month should pave the way for a deal in February, opening up the possibility of a referendum from around mid-year.
Tusk, who is leading the EU negotiations with Britain, also wrote on Twitter that he would send a letter to national leaders on Monday with his assessment of the British negotiations.
Cameron is betting the fear of Britain leaving the bloc will focus the minds of other EU leaders so that he can get the deal he thinks he can sell to British voters and his own party.
But some diplomats caution that although German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants Britain to stay, Cameron has previously misjudged her appetite and capacity to sway the entire bloc behind Britain's demands.
Cameron, who opposes any further transfer of sovereignty to the EU and says voters are unhappy with the current state of affairs, is demanding that EU migrants should contribute for four years to Britain's social security system before they qualify for in-work benefits or social housing.
This is proving an extremely difficult demand and has worried Berlin and other EU capitals as Cameron has repeatedly hinted that he could oppose membership if he doesn't get what he wants, diplomats close to the talks said.
Cameron said on Friday that he was "fighting like mad" to get the substance right and British officials dismissed any sense of complacency, pointing to some of the involvement of Britain's senior politicians and officials in the negotiations.
"The chances of Brexit (Britain leaving the EU) have gone up because there is a small chance - small but greater than zero - that there won't be a deal because Cameron asks for something the rest of the EU cannot give him," said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform think-tank.
"If Cameron can't get a deal then he can't recommend Britain stays in and in that case Britain would vote to leave the EU."
If Cameron does win a deal, he still needs to pitch it to a public which, like Denmark's, is worried about immigration and sceptical about both the political elite and the EU itself, though he has the benefit of arguing for the status quo.
"In terms of the British debate, framing what an 'in' means or what an 'out' means is entirely up in the air," said Hobolt, who added that perceptions of the EU in Britain were volatile.
An opinion poll published after Islamist militants killed 130 people in Paris, showed that more than half of Britons would vote to leave the European Union.
A source familiar with Britain's talks to renegotiate ties to the EU said the result did not bode well for Britain's continued EU membership, adding fear of losing control of immigration was crucial: "The same factor, the same fear."
"The tide in Europe is turning against the European Union," Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party, which opposes EU membership, said of the result in Denmark.
"It is wonderful to see a political establishment stitch-up be knocked back so emphatically and hopefully our British equivalent will suffer a similar fate."

iPad Keyboard Tricks
Macworld's Dan Miller shows off some pretty neat tricks for the iPad's keyboard:[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDw6B5ibD6Q&w=640&h=360]
While I admittedly prefer typing on iPad via my Origami Workstation, the soft keyboard on the iPad is very good -- especially in landscape. I wouldn't recommend using the soft keyboard for any sort of long-form writing, but the tips in the video are handy nonetheless. (Think emails and/or quick blog posts.)

"Pay it forward" is Rosa Ruiz Mendez's mantra. Education has always been an influential part of her life, and after studying at the heels of inspirational teachers, she is poised to become the next encourager, motivating generations to come.
Ruiz Mendez, freshman education major, holds deep meaning and attachment to the field. "When I first started school, I didn't speak English. I was put into ESL classes," says Ruiz Mendez. "I have made it a long way since then and I want to help students in similar situations." She admits there were obstacles along her educational journey. "School was hard for me, and I want to help my students become successful, no matter their background."
Though her educational journey has been difficult, her accomplishments show otherwise. During all four years of high school Ruiz Mendez was a member of Southern Guilford Academy, a program of advanced study. She was also a member of the National Honor Society, Tri-M music honor society, a Junior Marshall and a four-year member of the Century Club, which recognizes the top 100 students at the school. She participated in All-State and All-County chorus for 2 years.
During high school, she became seriously interested in teaching. "I had several opportunities to work with younger students and I loved being in elementary school the most," says Ruiz Mendez. "For my senior project I was able to create and teach my own class lessons to first, third and fourth grade ESL students at Sumner Elementary."
When it was time to select a college, she didn't have to look far. "I chose UNCG because it is close to home and the School of Education has a great teaching program. It's also a beautiful campus and diverse school. UNCG felt like the perfect place for me."
Any student who lands Ruiz Mendez as their teacher can count themselves lucky. Her dedication is fierce and her purpose, selfless. "I hope to shape the minds of my students. I want to motivate, encourage and inspire them the way my own teachers have inspired me."

Mitch McConnell, emboldened by improving political fortunes, is fulfilling his promise to wife Elaine Chao about going after the coal reserves a landscaper found while planting Gerbera Daisies in McConnell's front yard.
McConnell's Louisville Neighborhood Association is having none of it.
Said Association President Lou Screws on the assurance of anonymity, but then saying, "What the hell, I'm so pissed, go ahead and use my name!":
"We frown upon backyard gazebos, for God's sake, even when hidden by trees, so you can imagine how we view our neighbor's recent activity. I can't even say his name without downing my blood pressure medicine. He's so shameless, I heard he wanted to dig up coal on the beautiful 14th hole at the Louisville Country Club, which is the only easy par on that whole course!"
McConnell defended his neighborhood position with Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation," saying he (McConnell) had no regrets about possibly ruining his pastoral neighborhood, and could justify using the Army Corps of Engineers to do the digging:
"Listen Bob, what's good for Mitch McConnell is good for Kentucky…and America!" :

While stationed in Germany, Rick read the unusual story of "The Tracker" in Readers' Digest. He located Tom Brown, Jr., a white man who was taught from the age of seven by probably the last Apache Medicine Tracker, Nuacano, Stalking Wolf. Also called Grandfather from his early twenties because of his remarkable wisdom and abilities, Nuacano searched over 60 years to find the "white coyote" to teach his knowledge, his skills, and leave his legacy to! It is almost unfathomable to perceive of the magnitude of that task, taking Grandfather from the desert Southwest to New Jersey in 1957! Tom was finally found at the age of 7, the right age the Apache started teaching their children their special skills beyond camp and kitchen type skills. He eventually became the Apache medicine tracker who has taught our special forces and covert ops escape and evasion as well as thousands of students survival, tracking, stalking, and Apache Scout skills...
- Like living off the land with just a knife and the clothes (or none) on your back.
- Like tracking a deer over any terrain...or bear, or fox, or an ant across gravel or stone, how fast, or...?
- Like aging tracks and determining size, sex, or its health.
Rick kept in touch with the Tracker Family, writing articles for Tom's "The Tracker" newsletter and corresponding with Tom himself about tracking and survival problems and situations.
It was 1981 when he learned from these men the many skills that some consider to be lost arts or useless information in this day and age.
Rick shared his skills with the boy scouts at the Woodland Trails Scouting Reservation of Ohio in 1982. He made two mule deer skins into buckskin pants, lived in a teepee, rode an Appaloosa mare, taught wilderness survival and Indian lore merit badges, taught tracking and stalking skills, as well as his unique buckskinning abilities in specialized classes.
But the real test of his abilities came when Rick homesteaded the wilderness of Alaska in February, 1984.

Summer has winded down, vacations are over and the weather has gone from hot humid days to cool crisp mornings. Many of us take the summer to relax, unwind, and have fun with family and friends, not really focusing 100% on business or real life situations that could make or break your business. With the focus back on work, now is the perfect time to make a SMART decision for you and your business.
My Internship at Osprey Accounting
Matt Reims and I have worked together for the past three years at a restaurant in my hometown. When he told me about Osprey Accounting, the company he and his brother, Chris, had started, I was intrigued. I have a strong interest in Entrepreneurship and I like to take advantage of experiences that are related to entrepreneurship.
A Bird's-Eye View
The following is a story told by one of our own 'birds' on staff. They describe Soar Accounting in a way that any business owner can relate too.
10 Tips for Keeping Your Books Out of the Red
No one plans on their business being in the red. To say that "it just happens" is so wrong. It's plain and simple a business's numbers plummet into a deep red due to lack of good accounting and bookkeeping.
There are plenty of ways to avoid it though. Two top reasons businesses fail are due to poor accounting and the lack of a "cash cushion" when they would need it in an emergency to help them stay afloat or just break even.
Here are 10 ways to be sure to keep your books out of the red, and to help your small business stay in the air, not on the ground.
Why You Should ACTUALLY Listen to the Customer Buying Your Software
There is no doubt that I could find about 6 different types of software that would each best handle what I need for managing a small business. Plenty exist, but most specialize in just one type of function. One for payroll, one for doing taxes, one for producing the best invoices, one for CRM, one for inventory, and one for time clock. The problem: who wants 6 different types of software?
5 Steps for Mastering Your Elevator Pitch
How are you supposed to shrink down years of your hard work, dedication, and stress that you put into your 'baby,' into just 60 seconds? The answer isn't that simple, but Shark Tank has made it evident that it is able to be done. Getting investors to fund your startup is one of the most challenging steps you will encounter when it comes to the different stages of a business. So what is the key to success?
The Meaning Behind the 'Quick' in 'Quickbooks'
Stuck On Cloud Nine or Using The Cloud? Your Choice.
Why OutSOARcing is Smart!
Outsourcing your bookkeeping to Osprey Accounting is a much lower cost than hiring a full or part time employee. The average salary for a bookkeeper is $40,000 per year. Once you factor in payroll costs, health insurance, vacation time, and the cost to hire and oversee an employee you could end up spending on average $56,000 per year. But what if you could spend as little as $1,200 per year? That's saving almost $55,000. Can anyone say brand new car?

NAC postpones Ondangwa airport closure… As NCCI issues ultimatum
Windhoek The planned closure of Ondangwa Airport for more than a month has taken on a new twist after the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) placed renovation plans on ice until mid-December. New Era reported yesterday that there would be no flights between Eros and Ondangwa airport from November 12 to December 17, as Ondangwa Airport will be temporarily closed to allow for rehabilitation works on the airport's runway. Official sources yesterday said the date has been shifted to December 20 until the end of January 2016. Although he did not confirm or deny the new dates, NAC chief executive officer Tamer El-Kallawi yesterday confirmed that the dates have been shifted to some time in December. "That is right. It was postponed because the contractor will not be ready on 12 November, but I do not know why Air Namibia went ahead to announce this because we agreed that they would wait until we confirm the date," El-Kallawi said. The news triggered concerns yesterday from the northern business community, who condemned NAC for taking such a drastic decision on such short notice. Despite El-Kallawi indicating on Monday that the NAC was left with no choice but to temporarily close the airport to allow for rehabilitation works on the runway, the business community in the north is not impressed by the planned closure. Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry northern branch chairman Tomas Iindji yesterday issued a statement, in which he expressed disappointment on behalf of the northern business community. "We at the NCCI northern branch are disappointed in the decision taken by Namibia Airports Company and wish to condemn them for mismanagement and the inconsiderate decision to close the Ondangwa airport at such very short notice, and without consideration of the considerable costs," said Iindji, whose branch represents the business interests of at least 1 200 businesspeople in northern Namibia. Iindji accused the NAC of failing to properly consult stakeholders in order to assess the impact of their decision, while maintaining and doing construction on the runway at the Ondangwa airport. "We hold our public management officials in highest esteem and, therefore, expect them to exercise sound business judgment before making such decisions. This delay and negligence is costing the public considerable amounts of money, whilst displacing thousands of travelers and delaying businessmen and women," he said. Air Namibia on Monday told New Era that the airport closure would affect at least 4 100 prospective passengers and would result in losses of millions of dollars in revenue, while it also revealed that 250 bookings have already been confirmed for the period that the NAC initially wanted to close the airport. "The NCCI northern branch hereby provides NAC five days to come up with alternative solutions, as we cannot allow this to happen," Iindji charged. He further said: "We condemn the short notice of this announcement. We condemn the untimely closure of this airport at a time of high demand. We condemn the absent-minded position of NAC toward their customers and we condemn the disregard for the economic impact this will have." The Ondangwa-Eros route is mostly utilised by business people who prefer the 45-minute trip, instead of travelling by road, which can take up to eight hours. According to Iindji: "Businessmen and women from the north commonly use these short flights to quickly and efficiently conduct business trips to and from the capital city. "As a result, they will be forced to use the congested roads, just as the holiday season is picking up. This is also the end of the fiscal year for many, and companies are urgently conducting business to finish their year and meet their goals." Air Namibia currently operates two flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as three flights on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a single flight on Saturdays.

An anonymous official with the U.S. Central Command told Voice of America News that the U.S. military has been giving Russia advance notice of airstrikes in Syria ever since a strike from the U.S.-led coalition struck Syrian government forces in September.
The source said these warnings were issued using a special safety hotline, which was originally established to avoid midair collisions between Russian and coalition aircraft over Syria.
Oddly enough, the hotline was used to give the Russians advance notice about the strike near Deir Ezzor that killed Syrian troops in September, due to the large number of planes involved, and frequent Russian use of the Deir Ezzor airfield.
The official who spoke to VOA News said the Russians have also used the hotline to tip off the U.S. military about airstrikes in Syria, but much less frequently, and the locations given by the Russians are more vague.
The Russians issued a stern public warning against U.S. bombing of Syrian forces after the attack, and went so far as to imply they would shoot down American planes that threatened Syrian forces.
They even threatened the U.S. on Twitter: "USA wonders why Russia would want to carry the S-300 to Syria? Because you never really know what kind of assistance terrorists might get." The Tweet was illustrated with a goofy photo of White House spokesman Josh Earnest, and portrayed as a joke… except it also wasn't a joke, because Russia declared it would "take every defensive measure necessary to protect its personnel stationed in Syria from terrorist threats."

Itsy is a super small shitzu mix (she's usually mistaken for even younger than she is due to her size).
At the time she went missing she had her hair in a top knot with a black rubber band and no bow. She is mainly white with a few light brown patches. Her hair is a little longer than a puppy cut but not quite as long as would normal for a shitzu. She has double soft spots on the top of her head (not noticeable unless you know where to feel for them). When she gets excited or nervous she spins in circles. I can be reached by cell at 704-870-9165 or at home at 828-386-1955.

Tool Review-DeWalt 18 Volt NiCad Fluorescent Area Light
Dewalt has a series of light sources that utilize the same batteries that power their various cordless tools. Since I had decided to use their 18volt systems years ago, I have a good supply of these batteries for use with extra tools and lights. Although I have a Dewalt flashlight and "snake light", I often find their illumination too narrow in larger spaces. Dewalt has solved that with their new DC527 18 Volt NiCad Fluorescent Area Light. -Read More

Home Repair-Dual Flush Toilet Conversions
One of the great ways to save money and "GO GREEN" is to convert an older toilet into a dual flush model that reduces water usage. There are numerous methods of doing this and the various conversion kits on the market range from $20 to $100. Further the complexity of making these conversions can range from a quick installation to nearly replacing to the toilet.
After some research I have found a reasonably priced and easily installed dual flush conversion kit that will pay for itself as soon as it is installed.-Read More

By J. Cullen Howe, Environmental Law Specialist, Arnold & Porter LLP
On June 22, 2011, the New York State Legislature passed The Power NY Act of 2011 (A. 8510/S. 5844) (PNY Act).[1] Governor Cuomo is expected to sign it. The new law, once enacted, would do two very important things: (1) provide a mechanism to allow owners of residential and non-residential buildings to borrow money for energy efficiency projects, and pay it back over a period of years through their electric and gas bills; and (2) revive Article X of the Public Service Law, which creates an expedited, state-led program for permitting electric generating facilities while preempting local requirements. Additionally, the new law requires a study with respect to increasing solar photovoltaic generation in the state. This blog post will explain the first part of the bill-the on-bill recovery program.
"On-bill" financing is a mechanism that allows utility customers to pay back loans for energy efficiency upgrades through a charge on their monthly utility bill. This type of financing mechanism helps to overcome some common barriers to energy efficiency, including the up-front capital cost and the complexity of taking out a loan from a third-party lender that requires payment through a separate invoice. In addition, on-bill recovery allows the charge to stay with the property upon its sale or lease. This type of financing is also advantageous because it does not require a separate loan be taken out by a homeowner in the form of a mortgage, which could exclude persons who have poor credit. Although several municipalities and individual utilities have implemented limited on-bill financing programs, this is the first statewide program of its kind in the nation that allows residents, non-profits, and small businesses access to on-bill recovery for energy efficiency upgrades.
The new program will serve much the same function as the Property Assisted Clean Energy (PACE) program, which issued loans for energy efficiency and paid them back through charges on property taxes. PACE collapsed in 2010 because of objections from federal mortgage lenders who did not want their liens to be second priority behind PACE loans. PACE also required municipalities to adopt implementing legislation; on-bill financing does not.
Background: Green Jobs/Green New York Act
In 2009, the Legislature enacted the Green Jobs/Green New York Act (GJGNY Act).[2] The GJGNY Act directs the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) to establish a revolving loan fund to finance "qualified energy efficiency services" for residential, small business, not-for-profit, and multi-family structures.[3] These services include modifications to a structure based on the recommendations of an energy audit approved by NYSERDA that will increase its energy efficiency.[4]
The GJGNY Act further directs NYSERDA to use $112 million that represented a portion of New York's share of the proceeds from the sale of carbon allowances under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) for the revolving loan fund.[5] RGGI is the first mandatory carbon dioxide mitigation trading system in the U.S. Its members include 10 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states (though Governor Chris Christie is pulling New Jersey out of the program).[6] RGGI regulates carbon dioxide emissions from electric power plants that have a capacity of at least 25 megawatts. Emissions are capped at a certain level and regulated utilities must purchase carbon allowances via auction, the proceeds of which are then returned to the member states.[7]
The GJGNY Act limited the amount of each loan as follows: loans are not to exceed $13,000 per applicant for approved qualified energy efficiency services for residential structures and $26,000 per applicant for approved qualified energy efficiency services for non-residential structures. For multi-family structures, loans are to be in amounts determined by NYSERDA, provided that it assures that a significant number of residential structures are included in the program.[8]
On-Bill Recovery Provisions of the PNY Act
The PNY Act makes no substantive changes to the GJGNY Act. Instead, it provides a mechanism that allows customers who take out loans pursuant to the GJGNY Act to repay these loans through a charge on their monthly utility bill.
The on-bill recovery program is located in Sections 2-11 of the PNY Act, the most important of which are Sections 5,8 and 11.
Section 5 amends the Public Service Law by adding a new Section 66-m. This section requires the Public Service Commission (PSC), within 45 days of the effective date of the Act, to commence a proceeding leading to the establishment of billing and collection services for on-bill charges for customers of gas and electric utilities with respect to payment of obligations for energy efficiency projects under the GJGNY Act. Covered utilities are directed to use existing billing systems, to the extent practical, to collect on-bill charges and use money available from NYSERDA for improvements that would streamline the collection of these charges. The program is initially limited to no more than 0.5% of the customers of a covered utility; NYSERDA can increase this limit as long as the PSC finds that the program is not causing significant harm to the utility or its ratepayers. (PNY Act § 5; Public Service Law (PSL) § 66-M(1)(A)-(1)(B)). This is an important provision, as it allows for NYSERDA (with PSC approval) to scale up the program without requiring additional action by the legislature.
Participation in the program for residential customers is limited to those individuals who hold primary ownership of the premises and hold primary meter account responsibility for all meters to which such on-site recovery charges will apply. (PNY Act § 5; PSL§ 66-M(2)(A)).
Unless fully satisfied prior to sale or transfer of the property, the on-bill charges for any services provided at a particular premises will survive changes in ownership, tenancy, or meter account responsibility. In addition, any arrears in on-bill charges at the time of account closure or meter transfer will remain the responsibility of the incurring customer, unless expressly assumed by a subsequent purchaser of the property. It will be NYSERDA's responsibility, rather than the utility, to collect such arrears. (PNY Act § 5; PSL § 66-M(2)(D)-(2)(E)).
While the loan amounts for each applicant remain $13,000 for residential structures and $26,000 for non-residential structures, NYSERDA can increase these amounts to as much as $25,000 for residential structures and $50,000 for non-residential structures if the total cost of the energy efficiency measures will achieve a payback period of 15 years or less. Further, the monthly repayment amount cannot exceed 1/12 of the annual savings projected to result from the installation of energy efficiency measures financed by the program. (PNY Act § 8; Pub. Auth. L. § 1896(2)(b)(ii), (2)(e)(i)).
For each loan, NYSERDA is required to file a mortgage upon the property that received the loan, which is subordinate to any existing or future mortgage on the property. (PNY Act § 8; Pub. Auth. L. § 1896(4)(a)).
Any entity offering to sell real property that is subject to an on-bill charge pursuant to the GJGNY Act must provide a prospective purchaser with written notice prior to the acceptance of a written offer detailing the property's obligations to the program, the amount of the original charge, the payment schedule, the remaining balance, and a description of the energy efficiency service performed on the property. (PNY Act § 11; Real Prop. L. 242(4)).

"Non-residential structure" is defined as a building that is used or occupied by a small business or not-for-profit corporation. "Small business" is defined as a business that is a resident of New York that employs 100 or less people. See Econ. Dev. Law § 131. "Residential structure" is defined as a residential building that has four or fewer dwelling units. "Multi-family structure" is defined as a residential building with five or more dwelling units.
