We have a unique 30′ permanent counter in our space. We designed it to be multi-functional. It's 36″ high and 2′ deep with nice, thick iron legs. You could use it for just about anything, it's up to you. We got to see the sample for the first time today and just about fell out of our chairs at how gorgeous it was.
As you may know, we include tables and chairs in our rental rate. We were originally going to be lame and get prom style 66″ rounds but we've changed our tune. The Publican is catering one of our weddings in October and we got to thinking about how much better our space would look with rustic wooden tables. Here's a shorter version of the 8′ table we're going with. We tracked down the wood at a place called Minnesota Barnwood and the tables are all being custom made. Communal seating anyone? Oh and the best part? No more exorbitant fees to rent linens. You're welcome.

Drew Parsons has a father who's a college soccer coach, and a mother who's a college admissions counselor. So yes, there is some occasional discussion as to where Drew would like to play soccer in college.
With the events of the past two months, Parsons is on the way to expanding his options.
Parsons, who will be a junior at Mt. Blue High School this fall and made first-team all-Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference last year, competed in an Olympic Developmental Program camp, becoming one of about 40 players from a process involving players from 17 states.
"I got to play at the highest level that I've ever played at," Parsons said. "Everything's really fast. The kids are bigger."
The way the process works is like this: US Youth Soccer divides the country into four regions, with Maine to Virginia representing Region 1. There are six age groups, from U12 to U17.
At a four day camp in June at Rider University in New Jersey, the players from Region 1 were whittled down to approximately 40 in each age group, who attended an ID camp last month in Pennsylvania. From there, the top 18 out of that 40 play in a tournament in November against teams from the other three regions. The best of those players represent the U.S. in an international tournament.
Parsons will find out next month whether he made the cut for the final 18 in Region 1. By making the final 40, he can participate in a training camp at Penn State in January, which is attended by national team coaches.
"He's the only boy in any of the age groups (in the final 40) in Maine, from U12 to U17," said Chris Parsons, Drew's father and the men's soccer coach at Thomas College.
Drew, who plays center midfielder and forward, goes about 6 foot 2, 140 lbs.
"I was one of the taller kids there," he said. "But I'm pretty skinny, so I was on the weaker side, I guess."
Still, Drew thought he held his own at the ID camp.
"I did the same process last year," he said. "Last year, I was probably in the lower half of the kids in the pool. This year, I felt like I was one of the better kids there, and I have a chance to make the region team."
And those conversations about Drew's soccer future?
"We've definitely thought about it," he said. "I don't know right now. I'd like to play at the highest level possible."

Harvey: Flight cancellations soar to 2,700, extend into Monday
SUNDAY'S UPDATE TO THIS STORY CAN BE FOUND HERE: Harvey cancellations soar to 3,000; All Houston Hobby flights grounded Sunday
Last update: Saturday, 8:30 p.m. ET
Flight cancellations soared Saturday as Hurricane Harvey's effects were felt at airports across large parts of Texas. Additionally, airlines were waiving change fees for fliers ticketed to fly to airports in the storm's path.
More than 1,060 flights were canceled nationwide as of 8:30 p.m. ET, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. The bulk of that total came in Texas, where many of those cancellations were made preemptively even before Harvey made landfall. An additional 1,115 flights had been preemptively grounded for Sunday while another 360 have already come off the books for Monday.
That follows roughly another 200 Harvey-related cancellations from Friday. Combined, nearly 2,700 flights have been canceled since Harvey began affecting flights on Friday.
On Saturday In Houston, some Saturday flights were taking off and landing at the city's Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports, though fliers faced mounting delays and cancellations.
FLIGHT TRACKER: Is your flight on time?
At Intercontinental airport, where United is the dominant carrier, about 725 flights had been canceled for Saturday, as of 8:30 p.m. ET. That spiked sharply since Saturday morning, when less than 100 cancellations were reported. So far, Saturday's cancellations account for a about two-thirds of the daily schedule there, according to FlightAware's calculation. The outlook for Sunday looked even worse; more than 800 flights had already been canceled, nearly 70% of the entire day's schedule.
For Saturday, United ultimately grounded all of its United Express regional flights and canceled most of its "mainline" flights except for those flying to international destinations and to its other hubs.
"We plan to continue operating flights from Houston to our hubs and most international destinations," United spokesman Charles Hobart said in a statement to Bloomberg News.
At Hobby – a major base for Southwest – about 130 flights had been canceled as of 8:30 p.m. ET, representing about 40% of the day's schedule there. The number of cancellations there had roughly doubled since early Saturday morning.
USA TODAY: Flooding from Hurricane Harvey, now Category 1, could leave communities underwater for days
Flights at the airport in Corpus Christi had been suspended altogether since Friday afternoon. It was unclear when they might resume. The airport also took the unusual step of closing its terminal Friday evening.
At the Valley International Airport near Harlingen and South Padre Island, Southwest had suspended its entire schedule at least through late Sunday.
LIST: Airlines waive change fees as Harvey hits Texas
Travelers heading through other airports in south and central Texas should be prepared for disruptions. In Austin and San Antonio, for example, Southwest warned its schedules at those airports were expected to see "some adjustments" on Saturday – largely the ripple effect of Harvey-related schedule changes at Houston Hobby.
As of 8:30 p.m. ET, about a quarter of the entire day's schedule had been canceled at both the Austin and San Antonio airports. About the same number of flights had also been preemptively canceled for Sunday.
Customers flying to any airport in the region during the next few days should check ahead on the status of their flights. Fliers should also consider airlines' flexible rebooking policies to move their flights to dates after the storm.
TODAY IN THE SKY: WOW Air, known for $99 Europe fares, adds four new U.S. cities | Austin airport's new indoor/outdoor South Terminal is now open
Even nationwide, Harvey could create sporadic disruptions. A flight from Chicago to San Francisco, for example, could become delayed or canceled if the plane or crew scheduled to fly it gets knocked off track by the problems in Texas.
However, airlines have become more aggressive in trying to prevent that scenario in recent years. That's why it's more common to see large blocks of preemptive cancellations these days; it's all part of the industry's efforts to contain weather-related ripple effects during extreme storms.
By grounding flights altogether ahead of poor weather, airlines hope to accomplish two main objectives. First, they can try to keep their aircraft and crews from becoming unexpectedly stranded if weather worsens faster than expected. Second, by having idled planes (and crews) waiting at the ready, carriers say they're able mobilize quickly with a nearly full schedule once conditions allow flights to resume.

The tax-free status of payments of up to £30,000 paid to an employee as part of a settlement agreement has long been a useful element in negotiating a mutually acceptable and (relatively) affordable 'parting of the ways' between an employer and employee. Typically under a settlement agreement employment terminates immediately and there is no requirement for the employee to work his or her notice period. The employer and employee, having acknowledged that the employment has come to an end, can then move on having made a 'clean break'.
In the (very) old days this payment could, in most cases, be made tax-free regardless of the employee's contractual notice period and whether the employer had a contractual right to make a payment in lieu of notice (a PILON). EMI Group Electronics v Caldicott put an end to this in 1999. The employment contract contained a provision for a PILON. It was found that the element of the compensation payment that equated to the amount due to the employee as a PILON was an emolument arising out of employment and therefore taxable. As a consequence, many organisations had their contracts of employment re-drafted to remove the right for them to make a payment in lieu of notice.
From 6th April 2018, amounts within a settlement agreement that can be attributed to contractual amounts the employee would otherwise have been entitled to, in particular pay for his or her notice period, will be subject to Tax and NI. This is regardless of whether there is a PILON clause within the employment contract or not. This will result in added costs (essentially to the employer) and make an agreement more difficult to reach. For many 'common sense' reasons there is something intuitively wrong with this development. However, since there is now no longer a benefit in not having a PILON clause in an employment contract it is worth considering re-introducing one as it may afford a degree of protection against one particular ground for a constructive dismissal claim.

THE former MP for Castle Point has been left "disgusted" after hateful graffiti was sprayed over properties on Canvey.
Jewish, racist and homophobic slurs were painted on cars, walls and garages across Canvey on Remembrance Sunday during a spate of hate crimes against minority groups the Nazis had persecuted.
Rebecca Harris, Conservative candidate for Castle Point, and the region's former member of parliament, said she is proud of the Jewish communities on Canvey.
She said: "I could not be more appalled at the racist and homophobic graffiti that appeared on Canvey over the weekend.
"These horrible actions are unacceptable anywhere in society and it disgusts me that it has happened in our area.
"What makes matters worse is that it has happened on a weekend where we remember the thousands of men and women who have fought for this country, many of which gave the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts against those who seek to promote these fascist and antisemitic ideologies.
"I am proud of the strong Jewish community that calls Canvey Island their home and I will be speaking to members of the community about the events.
"I know that Essex Police have CCTV footage of the suspect and are investigating the issue as a matter of urgency. I have full trust that the Police will deal with this with the level of severity it deserves.
Essex Police are keen to speak to a man who was seen in Southwalters between 2.15am and 3.45am on Sunday morning.
He is described as being white, around 6ft 2ins tall and wore a light-coloured jacket, jogging bottoms and trainers with a reflective strip on the back.
Anyone with information should contact officers on 101 quoting incident number 307 of November 10.

ABOUT DARK LIAISONIn DARK LIAISON, Book One in the COIL Series, we meet protagonist Corban Dowler.
It is an age of prophetic strife when spiritual darkness collides with servants of the Cross. Christians worldwide are persecuted on a heightened level, and while no safety seems to exist, one man steps forward to lend a hand to the defenseless laborers.
Corban Dowler is an old-school spy. Six years ago, he accepted Christ's gift of salvation and then resigned from the morally compromising C.I.A. As Corban desires to fulfill God's Great Commission, he builds an organization called the Commission of International Laborers, (COIL), where he devotes his skills and resources to assist persecuted or kidnapped Christian servants in the most dangerous environments worldwide.
There are times in this age when Corban Dowler must hastily extract missionary families and Christian workers from danger zones before death steals them from their righteous work. For these operations, Corban has developed commando-style teams using non-lethal weapons to extract the threatened or persecuted servants of the Lord.
These covert multiethnic teams are ex-military or ex-CIA, and all believers in Christ.
Satan is every bit the adversary as he operates through his demonic workers of iniquity. They are set on claiming the lives of the righteous that stand for Truth. While COIL is working tirelessly to rescue Christians in need, Satan's followers are placing roadblocks, destroying, and kidnapping believers in Christ to thwart the efforts of COIL. The operatives find themselves prey to the very wickedness that they are committed to fight, and a battle between good and evil emerges.
Dark Liaison, written by D.I. Telbat, cover art by Carrie E. Smith, is an 83,000-word Christian action-suspense novel of espionage and spiritual warfare. This Book One in the COIL Series contrasts the lives of satanic antagonists bent on hatred with the COIL laborers who protect the Christian men and women servants standing for righteousness. And we learn that… there is no redemption without sacrifice.

AUTHOR AT 14 MONTHS-picture
David I. Telbat is a Christian author who writes in many genres, but especially Christian action-adventure, espionage, and suspense. For his writing, David draws from his experiences in travel, athletics, sportsmanship, the church, and family. David wrote his first novel at age 14, and hasn't stopped since!
Telbat's Tablet, David's website (http://ditelbat.com), offers free weekly Christian action, adventure, and suspense short stories to entertain. He also shares his author reflections, occasional writing tips, and a list of his publishing credits and honors. The credits include both print and digital publications, anthologies, and a 2nd place People's Choice Award with print magazine, The Storyteller.
D.I. Telbat's novel, Dark Liaison, Book One in the COIL Series, is available as a Kindle book from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and from other retailers (soon). His newest suspense novella, Jaguar Dusk, is now serialized and is being posted as free weekly chapters from his Telbat's Tablet site.
Getting into trouble with the law as a young man became a turning point in David's life. The Lord used that experience to draw David into a personal relationship with Him. Re-focusing his life for Christ, David now seeks to honor God with his life and his writing.
Because of his interest in the Persecuted Church and Christian missions, many of D.I. Telbat's stories are about persecuted Christians, their hardships, and their sacrifice to serve the Lord. Several of his novels include battles in the spiritual realm, as well as espionage.
D.I. Telbat is a new author for me and I just love his style. This book Dark Liaison is a book I will cherish and reread. I will read any of D.I.'s other books, because he's that great of an author.
This story is my favorite kind. It talks about the persecuted church and is a suspense/secret agent type of book. I couldn't put this book down and I so look forward to book two in the series.
The characters are highly developed and very likable or unlikable. I didn't know how Dark Liaison was going to end and I love that in a book. I also loved all of the different disguises that Corban used. He is quite an intriguing character.
Corban was once a spy and thought nothing of killing the enemy but now he is a Christian and can't kill anymore. So Corban and a band of other individuals form a group that gets Christians and Missionaries out of harm from religious persecution. They are many times in dangerous situations, but never do any of them kill or harm another human. It is so interesting the many ways they do this.
I really can't say enough for all of the wonderful parts of this book. If you never read any other book this year, you need to read Dark Liaison. It is such a fantastic book, full of excitement and adventure. I highly recommend this book and wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Here are ways to get in touch with D.I. Telbat or to read about his book.

Via Kulusuk
Start your East Greenland adventure at Kulusuk airport, one of the world's smallest international hubs.
You're sitting in a small fixed-wing plane on the way to East Greenland, passing by the world's largest fjord system filled with icebergs as big as high-rise buildings. This is when you realise that you're about to land in Kulusuk International Airport.
That's right, international. There's curiously no cities or motorways visible, no obvious signs of a metropolis that you would find if you flew towards larger hubs like London Heathrow or Singapore Changi. You probably expected that anyway, it's part of the lure of Greenland.
Land in Kulusuk International Airport. That's right, international.

Plastic pallets have become the hero of a massive industry. Traditional wooden pallets were made to suit the needs of logistics companies around the world and are still widely used today, but that is about it. Plastic pallets hold distinct advantages over traditional wooden pallets. We think some change is long warranted. In the content below, we explore the top ten plastic pallet advantages that leave wooden pallets in the dust!
Top Ten Plastic Pallet Advantages
Increased Longevity and Durability
Plastic pallets have proven time and time again the ability to stand up to the repeated abuse of a closed-loop system. On average, the standard wooden pallet typically lasts about a dozen uses, whereas plastic pallets can be reused over 200 times!
Lighter Weight
Plastic pallets generally weigh less than your standard wood pallet. This advantage is two-fold. The lighter weight makes handling easier and reduces strain on employees. It also reduces the overall shipping cost due to a lesser load on the truck
Plastic pallets can pull double-duty. Not only will they make the haul from point A to point B, but because they don't scuff, warp, or crack like a wood pallet, you can display product on the floor if you want.
Plastic pallets reduce workforce hazards like wood splinters, nails, or loose joints making for a healthier, more efficient crew.
Earth Friendly
Reduce, reuse, recycle. We all learned in grade school that saving trees is good! Plastic pallets last longer than wood pallets, thus reducing your overall material waste. One plastic pallet for every 15+ wooden pallets. Plastic pallets are also completely recyclable, thus greatly reducing your company's disposal and landfill costs.
More Sanitary
Plastic pallets meet requirements for specific food grade and pharmaceutical applications which reduce the risk of contamination. Not to mention they're easy to clean between uses.
Weather Resistant
Plastic pallets won't warp in situations where water may be an issue. They are rigid and therefore suitable for any climate conditions. Plastic pallets are also impermeable to most chemicals, unlike wood pallets.
Easier Forklift Access
Plastic pallets offer four-way forklift access, unlike their wooden brethren.
Wider Range of Sizes
Nesting models that nest neatly together for easy handling and saving floor space; stackable pallets that optimize unitization; and rackable pallets that fit in open pallet racks.
Because of the construction method used to create plastic pallets, surface variability is nearly eliminated, making plastic pallets better suited for automated applications, reducing jamming and malfunctions.

Raise not raze: Franklin might lift houses out of the floodplain
Franklin aldermen could approve using federal dollars to raise the floors of 26 homes threatened by the 100-year floodplain.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers presented a new program to the City of Franklin that would elevate floors in homes from the Harpeth Meadows, Rebel Meadows and Ewingville subdivisions.
Nashville and Williamson County residents experienced monumental devastation from the 2010 floods, which prompted the federal government to study the areas that waters most affected. Floodwaters rushed Franklin's streets in the historic flood, affecting areas along Fifth Avenue, homes in the Cottonwood subdivision, homes near Pinkerton Park and portions of Leiper's Fork.
Franklin engineers met with federal engineers in April to discuss what a program would look like to physically raise the elevation of homes.
"It's a voluntary program," Franklin City Administrator Eric Stuckey said at the aldermen meeting Tuesday night. "We've looked at retention facilities. There are situations where individual property owners have done it themselves. We've not had public dollars go into something like that to this point."

What the program looks like
The federal government engineers calculated it would cost $2.5 million to elevate the homes.
Back in June 2013, Franklin leaders signed an initial feasibility study agreement to analyze flood risk management options in the Harpeth River watershed. The study facilitated a second agreement in 2016 to develop two flood risk management projects: the Franklin Road channel modifications and the nonstructural home raisings.
Federal government funds would make up 65 percent of the costs, with aldermen then having to decide who pays for the remaining 35 percent. No other homes could be added, as these houses were identified by federal engineers as in the most need.
Aldermen could have up to three options: The remaining 35 percent could come from the city's stormwater fund, homeowners who decide to participate in the program or a split between the two.
Crews could elevate houses anywhere between 4 to 10 feet. Home construction cost estimates include the elevation, construction of a new foundation, connecting utilities and landscape restoration. The overall estimated price tag also includes the cost of alternate housing for up to three months.
'Fault of the city'
A 1968 study of Franklin's floodplain sat in front of At-Large Alderman Ann Petersen.
Inside the study, Petersen pointed to maps that showed where the watershed could most impact land in the city's core.
"The introduction in this study was prepared at the request of the mayor and aldermen at that time," Petersen said. "There were commercial and residential houses vulnerable to major floods. Hillsboro Road and Fifth Avenue suffered flood waters in 1948 and 1951. Now, 16 of the 26 houses we might raise were built after the areas they were constructed in were identified in this report."
Petersen said she felt the city should pay the remaining 35 percent as a result of the city allowing for the construction in the floodplain.
"Having your house flooded is something you won't forget, and it will change your life," Petersen said. "Since it's the fault of the city that those houses were permitted to be built even though they had the (floodplain) info, I support the option where the city pays."
Not all aldermen said they felt the city was at fault for a decision made 50 years ago. Ward 1 Alderman Bev Burger said the decision to ask for the city to pay was difficult. She's personally experienced floods living in other parts of the country. She's watched her cars float out of her driveway, and water rise in her house.
"This isn't an easy question," Burger said. "I don't like making repatriations for past governments that none of us sitting here were a part of it. People want repatriations for all sorts of things that happened in the past. I don't go there."
Aldermen will decide later this summer how they will approach the program.
