Resolute Forest Products (RFP)
I haven't really posted in-depth about my Resolute Forest Products position, but I think it's time to look at the company again as the stock is up about 15% over the last 2 weeks. The company first came to my attention in 2011 when I noticed that it was a substantial holding of Fairfax Financial. After a cursory review of the company's financials I noted that it was trading at about 40% of book value which really piqued my interest; I'm a sucker for companies trading below book value! And, of course, I'm always attracted to shares in a company that has just emerged from bankruptcy, especially situations where bondholders are given a majority of the post-bankruptcy equity; we know from Joel Greenblatt that bondholders are often uninterested in holding their post-bankruptcy equity, and that their primary interest is not always price. (It's the "Just get rid of it!" phenomenon). I'm always ready to buy when the sellers don't care about price!
Resolute Forest Products (then known as Abitibi-Bowater) emerged from bankruptcy toward the end of 2010. Fairfax, being a large bondholder (purchased, I believe, while the company was in bankruptcy), owned a substantial chunk of the equity when it emerged, about 26%. It still owns those shares today. On emergence from bankruptcy shares were initially quoted around $22, then, in the subsequent 2 months, rose to around $30 before beginning a long, slow decline. The share price bottomed in August of 2012 at around $9, bounced up in the subsequent two months then tested the lows (this time around $10.50) in November before beginning an uptrend. In the past 10 days on no real news the shares have popped 15%+.
Resolute Forest Products produces paper, newsprint and magazine paper (about 80%) and some lumber related products (20%) as well as earning returns on its cogeneration facilities. 2012 operations produced a small loss compared to income in the $200 million range during 2011. Much of last year's loss has to do with impairment costs due to closures and restructurings. The question is, are we through with all the impairments and has the market for paper hardened up? Well, I don't know. I had hoped that restructurings had been completed during bankruptcy. Obviously that's not the case, or the market for paper and pulp has changed, requiring a change in strategy and more restructurings. The company produces commodities, and future prices of these commodities, like every commodity, can't be predicted with any accuracy. AT ALL! Right, so why would a commodity producer be an interesting investment? In this case, bankruptcy has allowed reduction of debt to a reasonable level, as well as the usual asset write-downs. Hopefully this means we purchased shares in a company when its market cap was significantly below replacement cost. RFP, like FTP, is in a highly cyclical, capital-intensive business. When a company is a low-cost producer it, theoretically, has a competitive advantage. If you can buy a low-cost producer with low/no debt at a price below replacement cost you really should find yourself with a 'moat', even in a commodity business.
As usual I began purchasing RFP shares too soon. My first purchase was in August 2011 at around $17 a share, my second was in January 2012 at around $15 and my third in April at around $14. But that wasn't the real mistake. My real mistake was to stop buying as the price fell, especially as it dropped through $10. Now with the price back up to about $17, I've made a 'round trip' on my first share purchases and am only up a bit on my overall position. Had I kept buying as the shares dropped below $10, I could be ahead 10%, 20% or 30%! It's definitely hard to have that discipline, though, unless you are have a conviction of the company's intrinsic value (well, of course, you should have some idea of the company's value if you are buying shares in the first place).
The real question is, what is the company worth? The quick answer is that I don't know as I haven't calculated an 'intrinsic value' for RFP, at least not one I'm willing to share with everyone. But even if you don't have a conviction 'intrinsic value' you should have some idea whether the shares are a good value. (It's the old adage that you can tell whether a person is fat by looking at them; you don't need to know their exact weight!) So, along these lines, let's look at some measures of relative valuation. According to Yahoo Finance, RFP's closest 'competitor' is Weyerhauser (WY).
2012 operating results
$ in millions unless otherwise indicated
|Net Income
|Share price ($)
|Market Cap
|L/T Debt
Revenues at WY are 1.6x those at RFP, and EBITDA margins are almost twice as high (16% vs 9%). Perhaps RFP can improve, but let's assume not. Now let's look at the relative valuations. WY has a market cap about 10x that of RFP. That multiple doesn't seem justified given the relative size of revenue, even considering WY's superior EBITDA margins. In effect, RFP is trading at only 15% of WY on a per revenue dollar basis, and even if we adjust for the difference in EBITDA margins, RFP is trading at a valuation of 27% of WY. What gives? Why should RFP trade at such a lower relative valuation? Is WY riskier (i.e. more leveraged)? Not at all. WY has 5x as much leverage as RFP. Perhaps it has to do with product mix. This I can't really speak to as I have little industry expertise. Perhaps the issue is the continuing restructuring charges that RFP seems to incur. I can see that investors might be a bit spooked by this, as the company went into bankruptcy due to its high level of debt (which I might attribute to poor management), and the continuing restructuring charges might be construed as further management ineptitude. So it looks to me like the shares are currently priced for continuing poor operational performance. That leaves upside in my book. I only want to be invested in companies where investors have a negative view, as any change in investor sentiment can be transformed into significant share price increases, as opposed to situations where operational expectations are high and negative surprises can translate into significant capital losses.
So, from this back-of-the-envelope comparison, can I determine what the company is worth? Not really. I do know, however, that Mister Market is expecting RFP to continue to perform worse than its closest peer. This presents significant upside potential for RFP investors were to the company to perform only as well as its closest competitor, or even if operations are only half as efficient as its nearest competitor. Furthermore, RFP seems well positioned for a market decline with its relative low-level of debt.
You see, I'm avoiding any DCF valuation because I simply don't feel that projecting paper, pulp and lumber prices will serve me well. I would rather invest in a commodity business where I know the company is a low-cost producer as, I believe, in the long run the company will best its competitors and eventually produce a market beating return.
Share Ownership
Another key factor I am always interested in as an investor is management incentive. Unfortunately at RFP management owns less than 1% of outstanding shares. Such low share ownership is often a reason to stay away from investing in companies. In this case, however, there are countervailing factors. As noted above, Fairfax Financial owns 26% of RFP. Furthermore there are two other major hedge fund owners, Steelhead Partners with 14% and Donald Smith & Co with 10%. I put all of these owners in the 'value' camp, which means that around 50% of the company's ownership in rather stable hands. Aboveall, however, it means that there will be effective oversight in matters of capital allocation, extremely useful in a cyclical, capital-intensive business like this.
Overall RFP is a small position for me which, at this point, I don't intend increasing. However, I believe that with patience (and I've already had a good deal), I think the company can show significant profitability. It's currently a hold in my book.

Golden Lamb in Lebanon Ohio celebrates 75,000 days in business
Posted By RichC on April 28, 2009
An article in our local paper highlighted the Golden Lamb restaurant and hotel in historic Lebanon, Ohio this week. It has been in business for75,000 consecutive days. That's long enough to have seen a civil war, two world wars and 40 presidents. The celebration on April 27th marked the 206 years of business for this notable Ohio "house of public entertainment," as it was called when Jonas Seaman purchased the $4 license in 1803. The Monday celebration was marked by several national, state and local political leaders recognizing the historic and successful long standing operation.
Golden Lamb celebrates 75,000 days in business
By Justin McClelland, Staff Writer, Monday, April 27, 2009
A lot has happened in the past 75,000 days. Two world wars were fought. Forty presidents have taken office. An entire nation was built. But through it all, the Golden Lamb has stayed in business.
The Golden Lamb celebrated its 75,000 consecutive day in business in Lebanon on Monday, April 27. National, state, and local political leaders appeared at the Lamb Monday to help celebrate its anniversary.
"The Golden Lamb is the primary historic and economic anchor for Lebanon," said mayor Amy Brewer. "It has played an important role in the community for the past 206 years."
The restaurant and hotel first opened its doors on Dec. 23, 1803. According to historian John Zimkus, Jonas Seaman spent $4 to purchase a license to operate a "house of public entertainment." Because many people were illiterate, restaurants took their names from distinctive signs, such as a drawing of a colorful animal, that could be used as a guidepost.
The restaurant was situated on Broadway to catch stage coach traffic passing through town. Seaman served traditional frontier food such as wild turkey and bear and charged between five and 10 cents for a meal. As was the custom at the time, overnight guests did not rent rooms, only parts of a bed that they would share with others. Zimkus said for a reduced rate, guests could sleep on the floor.
In the 1930s (somewhere in its 40,000 day of business), Robert Jones, a college-age Dayton man with virtually no experience running a restaurant, purchased the Lamb. Jones was a history buff who refurbished the building to an early-1800s style and also emphasized the history in its marketing.
"He loved people," said Jones's grandson, Rob Portman, one of the Lamb's current owners and a 2010 Ohio senatorial candidate. "He would pour water for guests so he could interact with them."
Portman, a former U.S. congressman from the Cincinnati area and the director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush, credited his grandmother with helping the restaurant survive the Great Depression.
"She kept the books and was the enforcer," Portman said. "Grandpa ran the restaurant, but she had the mind for business."
Portman said the restaurant has survived hardship through being both innovative and keeping alive popular traditions that draw the community back time and again.
"The Golden Lamb has remained a consistent and reliable place for people to gather," Portman said.
General manager Ty Borger said he was already looking forward to the Golden Lamb reaching its 100,000 day of business, which according to his calculations will be Oct. 7, 2077.

I heard an Indian tribe on the Amazon cursed their enemy by saying, "stay just the way you are." They know that if humans don't change and grow, death is right around the corner.
Staying the same was exactly what I was after while I was drinking. I never saw the need to change. I wanted you to change. I wanted life to change. But not me. After all I was a pretty special guy. I had been winning at the game of life. I was just having a run of bad luck is all. Besides, change is uncomfortable. Why would I want that when getting comfortable and staying that way was the only thing that mattered?
When water doesn't flow it becomes stagnant and starts to smell after a while. I was real stinky when I stumbled through the door to my first meeting. The twelve steps helped me get a good whiff of myself.
The doctor says in our book I need to change or I'll drink again. One old timer in one of my first meetings put it more bluntly, "change or die, M-Fer!" The doctor goes on to say this change can't be a "self-help" change. Change has to happen deep down in the center of me. That's God's territory.
I can't change myself in any real,lasting way. I'm pretty sure I could sit and meditate on a mountaintop for twenty years, but unless God (or Life, or Consciousness, or whatever you call HP) has changed me I'll still be basically the same schmuck I was twenty years earlier. In the same way, AA doesn't change me. The AA program connects me to God. God changes me.
I invite God into my life first by really, really wanting to be changed. I keep God in the center of my life by remaining willing to take the recovery actions suggested to me in my first week. I seem to grow automatically when I consistently practice the principles. Most days I'm willing to practice. Some days I'm not.
If God gave me a two word job description for my life on earth, it would read, "love more." Growing along spiritual lines is long hand for learning to love more. As I grow through the years in AA, I come into fuller expression of the loving God seed in the center of my being. Life is pretty darn good most of the time.

In the United States and Canada, more than 4 million people receive orthodontic treatment, reports the Canadian Association of Orthodontists. Orthodontic treatment, which includes braces, can lead to straighter teeth, but that's far from the only benefit. Untreated orthodontic problems may cause a number of dental health concerns, including gum disease, tooth decay and bone destruction. A misaligned bite may even lead to dental injuries or speech impairments.
If you're getting braces to treat any of these conditions, you may be wondering: How are braces put on?
The Consultation
Getting braces usually requires more than one appointment. During your first appointment, the orthodontist will examine your mouth and may ask you questions about your oral health history. This examination may also include X-rays and dental impressions. Panorex x-rays are taken of the entire mouth so the orthodontist can visually see how the teeth are erupting in the mouth. Dental impressions are used to create a model of your teeth, which the orthodontist references while planning your treatment. Getting an impression made can be uncomfortable and may trigger your gag reflex, but fortunately, it doesn't take long. After reviewing the x-rays and dental impressions, the orthodontist will begin putting together the treatment plan.
Preparing for Braces
You will meet with your orthodontist again to go over the treatment plan in more detail and the timeline for when he will begin to put the braces on and how often your appointments will be at his office. A range of time will be discussed for how long the braces will be on to correct the malocclussion (or bad bite).
Before you see your orthodontist to have your braces put on, it's a good idea to see your dentist and dental hygienist for aprofessional cleaning. Once your dental hygienist removes the plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline and polishes your teeth, your teeth will be clean and ready for the braces.
Make sure to brush and floss immediately prior to your braces application appointment to remove any food particles or other residue from your teeth.
How Are Braces Put On?
You'll need to return to your orthodontist to have the braces put on. The application of the braces can take between one and two hours, depending on individual circumstances. First, the orthodontist will ensure your teeth are clean and dry. They may need to clean your teeth with a polishing paste to ensure they're clean enough for the braces to be applied. Then, they can begin the braces application process.
They will apply bonding cement, an adhesive substance, to the teeth, and carefully affix the brackets to the teeth. Once the brackets are in place, the orthodontist will fit the arch wire into each bracket to connect them. Then, they attach small elastics, called ligatures, to the brackets to hold the arch wire in place.
What to Expect After Getting Braces
If you're getting braces soon, you may want to know if braces hurt. When braces are first put on, there should be minimal pain. Once the teeth start to realign in the first three days after the application, you may experience some discomfort. Don't worry — this discomfort is typically short-lived as you get used to the pressure of the braces.
Your orthodontist may recommend taking an over-the-counter pain medication as needed to manage the discomfort. If these medications don't reduce your pain, talk to your orthodontist about other options. Eating soft foods, such as soups, smoothies, yogurt and pudding, may also help you manage if you're feeling sore.
New braces may rub uncomfortably against the inside of the mouth. While you're getting used to the sensation of having braces, your orthodontist may recommend applying dental wax to the brackets to cover any sharp surfaces.
Getting braces can be a nerve-wracking and exciting experience. Knowing what to expect during the process may help you feel more confident about your decision to get braces. For more information about braces and the application process, don't hesitate to ask your dentist or orthodontist.

Floorball, especially when considering which equipment to purchase, can be an undertaking. That is why Floorball Guru exists, to separate the hobbyist education on the various components of the sport from those professional brands and equipment that will help you increase your game on the floor. Floorball is often confused with ice hockey, and there creates the need for differentials between the two games.
Stick-based sports have an education level to them. Floorball is no different than ice hockey and floor hockey.
Throughout my schooling and into college we always played floor hockey. Due to a love of hockey I was always excited when we got to play hockey in PE, and my brothers and I would normally play street hockey at home. One year we even froze our driveway and built a rink. Needless to say our parents were not too thrilled to come home to that. The problem I ran into when playing was that the equipment was without skates and hockey sticks tended to be too long and cumbersome, and you needed to wear extra equipment, which wasn't as fun in the summer heat. Then one day in Kelowna, B.C. I came across Floorball. Instantly I loved the sport, and noticed that it was a more technical and faster sport.
Floor hockey players tend to need to wear protective equipment and can have a similar aggressive style of play as hockey. Floorball on the other hand uses lightweight stick and ball, as well as rules of play that promote a safer and less aggressive style of play. While there is contact in the sport, in general the rules are designed to minimize contact. Floorball is a universal sport that can be played by anyone regardless of age, or ability. Unlike a hockey stick, Floorball sticks are sized around the waist, and the rules require stick play to be under the waist. With a lighter stick giving more overall control, and rules helping to keep sticks down makes it a friendlier game.
Another difference pertains to the goalies. In floor hockey goalies wear the same, or similar equipment that they do in ice hockey. This equipment can be cumbersome and difficult to manage off the ice. In floorball goalies wear a mask but they wear lower profile padding on the torso and legs and play primarily from their knees. Floorball goalies are also allowed to grab the ball within their box and throw the ball to a teammate. In many cases this style of play can create numerous counter attacking options for the offense.
One of the bigger factors between the two is that overall the cost to get started in Floorball is relatively low in comparison. A stick and ball is all a player needs to get started, and games can be played on just about any surface making Floorball a versatile sport for hockey organizations, University intramural sports, and Parks and Rec departments.

Washington (Web Desk): The daughter of Trump Ivanka has raised eyebrows in Washington wearing an off-the-shoulder dress that cost nearly $4000 to her father's first speech in Congress.
instead of wearing any costume from her own clothing-line, Ivanka supported a burgundy frock by French designer Roland Mouret to the State of the Union address.
However, her fashion sense could not win any fans for Ivanka, with social media branding the outfit "inappropriate", "awkward" and more fitting for cocktails than Congress.
Whereas her father US President Donald Trump spoke about saving American jobs, Ivanka stood at his State of the Union address in the expensive frock.
The social media users slammed her for not wearing an American brand ... and for showing too much skin, while there are few who praised her fashion sense.
An international website describes the "Rawlings" dress as being "orchid pink double faced satin" and "an easy choice for that evening affair when you think you have 'nothing to wear'".
Nevertheless it can be perceived as another contrast to former First Lady Michelle Obama, who wore American designers and was consistently praised for her tasteful and classy styling.
Ivanka faced Fashion problems regarding her dress code since her father entered the White House.
Donald Trump and his top adviser Kellyanne Conway defended it, "Nordstrom dropped her clothing line".

Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition
Hello and welcome to Saturday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Love Elisabeth, but really prefer her as a brunette. That color does nothing for her complexion.
Now, Garrett's style, on the other hand, is hot stuff!
Why does Ben look so rough?
Not sure why she's covering her stomach when what she should be covering up is that horrible top.
Jackets are not shirts!

Yes. There was really no problem showing on the majority of your visitors (as seen on my last screenshot). The problem is only with visitors on Desktop that have a resolution width of 1024 or lower. This resolution is mostly on mobiles now so they are being shown a mobile version. Anyway, I'll consider lowering it to 900 on the next update.

How Do You Charge For Remote Access Service Calls?
Hourly? Per service? No toll until you roll?
Any customer pushback?
same as regular service call (hourly), no truck charge involved though for obvious reasons... in the past we would include a smalle fee for using the remote software (teamviewer) however we don't do that anymore... no customer pushback... I think everyone understands that time is time no matter where it is spent... you are also saving them money by not being on site...
In my experience, you still bill for hourly labor but you don't bill out a trip charge or mileage.
flat fee at our shop, Access, Video and Alarm. Sometimes we get a request to "provide all of the Video, from all the cameras, for the past 3 or 4 days". We charge that by the hour to discourage it.
We typically haven't charged for anything under 5-10 minutes.
However, recently we have been billing a minimum $35 for all remote service calls even if they take only 2 minutes or we are working on multiple things and what we have found is not a single customer has pushed back at all. So far every customer appreciates the service being completed quickly without the need to meet someone at site, etc. I bet we could raise the minimum charge and our customers we still be happy as long as we are responsive and help them as soon as they call.
Our hourly rate for remote service is $85.00 which is also billed accordingly without any pushback. If we have a guy working on multiple sites for the same customer simultaneously it is billed at $85 but if we are working on two different customers simultaneously both are billed. We use integrated time keeping in our remote software to automatically bill. We don't waste time so if we start a large download for an upgrade, etc we will end the session and start a new one later in the day. Any remote session over an hour is not automatically billed - it is reviewed to cross reference with tech notes, etc.
What we have found is customers are willing to pay for good service and pay even more for great service. We lay out service rates and terms with customers up front so there are no surprises.
Be clear, honest and accountable and you shouldn't have any problem getting paid for all of your time. If a customer complains every time they get a bill make sure to review your billing policies with them and if they keep complaining then fire the customer. A customer that does not appreciate your time is not worth your time unless of course you are making a lot of money with them!
All of our installation contracts have a remote access charge in them. At the bottom of every proposal or bid we put our rates for business hours and emergency remote service. Never had a problem getting paid for it. We tell them it's less expensive for us to do it remotely than to send someone out.
We offer 24/7 free telephonic and remote support for the life of our install.
Thank you John. It's not the popular or maybe even smart move financially but we like that Avigilon doesn't have recurring license fees nor SMA's and we are confident in our work. We also may be different then other integrators because we are a full service electrical contractor that has a lot more then just security to offer to our customers. We are specific in the markets we service and believe in long term partnerships. Trust me!!! I often consider offering service contracts but I'm currently not a fan of how they are structured. I've strategized on possible variations but haven't come up with one that is a "win win". I'm open to suggestions.
The biggest reason we charge for remote service is because its what we do. We have a customer service department dedicated to updating pass-codes (we change thousands of pass-codes every month). Without charging for this service those customer service reps wouldn't have a paycheck (remote service is their only responsibility). Some of our customers have hundreds of accounts, most of them are on POTS lines, its very costly to dial onto the panel and update pass-codes or arm/disarm their security systems.
I have read through most of these replies and have seen a variety of responses. Our business is primaraly IP Telephony. If a customer has a support agreement with us, we will not charge for a remote service call if it is simple and under a half hour. If a customer has not made a commitment to us, we will charge a half hour minumum. They are already saving because with new technology we dont have to roll a vehcile in most cases. The fact is all of our technicans cost along with taxes, overhead and Insurance both business and health. You still have to pay the salary and yourself even if you are doing the work remotley. The savings for the customer, we no longer have to charge a premise visit fee and a one hour minimum.
Good info, thanks!
Does anyone do any scheduled maintenence remotely? Maybe like a 6 month health-check:
- Inspect all views for picture quality degradation or scene changes
- Insure recordings exist at the correct res/frame rate up to the retention period.
- Evaluate disk usage run rate, adjust bit rates
- Optimize motion detection settings
- Remote Refocusing
- Seasonal adjustments to WDR / DayNight Params
- OS level check, delete logs etc.
- Software Version/firmware updates

All formats/editions
From the acclaimed author of Speak Softly, She Can Hear, a literary page-turner about a proper New England family and the dark secrets that undo them. Pony Carteret -- the lovely headstrong youngest member of the Carteret family -- has always been a strong swimmer. So when she is discovered drowned at the family's summer home on Lake Aral, Vermont, her red hair tangled in an anchor chain and her baby abandoned on shore, her family is stunned by disbelief. As the police conduct their investigation, Jasper Carteret, the patriarch, calls an urgent family meeting. Had any of her siblings known that Pony would be at the house that day? Was she having personal problems, was she depressed? Had she ever revealed the true identity of her baby's father? Neither sister -- Tinker, the family caretaker, nor Mira, the moody, thoughtful one -- has any information, and ultimately the police rule the drowning an accident. But William Carteret, Pony's older brother, can't accept the explanation that his favorite sister's death was an accident. Determined to uncover the truth, he eventually learns the disturbing fact that a stranger had been present at the house the evening Pony died. Who was this man, what was he doing at the house, and why hasn't he stepped forward? As William digs deeper, his investigations quickly lead him to a new and more daunting series of questions, not only about the mysteries in Pony's life but also about the shadowy details of his deceased mother's past and even his own. Before long, he has opened a Pandora's box of family secrets, including one dangerous fact his mother has kept hidden for a generation. Pam Lewis's Perfect Family is a masterful, atmospheric tale about the ways in which family secrets, no matter how long they're buried, can wield their tremendous power.

Professional reviews
"Old money and perfect manners have buried secrets that threaten to tear the Carteret family apart. When Pony Carteret mysteriously drowns at the family summer home, leaving her baby deserted on the beach, the past pushes its way to the surface. Richard Poe tells the story from the perspective of each of the surviving siblings, William, Tinker, and Minerva. In a compelling voice, he uses well-modulated, enunciated tones that ratchet up the tension. Although mystery fans will find no surprises, the dynamics of a family dedicated to preserving its image at all costs will keep listeners engaged. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine"

Mississippi Man Guns Down Wife And Two Friends After She Wouldn't Let Him Drive Home Drunk, Police Say
Marlee Barnhill's 27th birthday party ended in tragedy after her husband Michael's drunken anger turned deadly, police say.
A Mississippi woman celebrating her birthday had no clue it would be her last. When she grabbed her husband's keys to prevent him from driving home drunk, he grabbed a gun and fatally shot her and two friends, police say.
Michael Martin Barnhill was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in the March 1 shooting deaths of his wife, Marlee Barnhill and friends Jim and Brooks Harrell. Marlee was marking her 27th birthday at the Harrells' home when the shooting started shortly before midnight, police said.
Carroll County Sheriff Clint Walker said Michael Barnhill had become "drunk and belligerent," and then "angry and combative," at the party, prompting Marlee to grab the keys to both of their vehicles so he wouldn't drive drunk.
Then, Barnhill "went outside to the vehicle, went back inside, slapped a cigarette from his wife's hand, and shot her in the chest," Walker said, according to WTVA, a Tupelo, Mississippi-based news organization.
The Harrells attempted to intervene, but were fatally shot as well, according to the sheriff.
Two other guests, who remain unnamed in reports, ran upstairs to protect the Harrell's 10-year-old child by locking themselves in a closet and barricading the door. Barnhill ran from the house but returned shortly thereafter, disoriented.
Barnhill was finally taken into police custody after being subdued with a taser.
Mike Rozier, a friend of the Harrells, was "in total shock" after hearing the news of their deaths.
"Jim was in my office last Wednesday afternoon," said Rozier. "It's one of these things that if you hear it you don't believe it and you don't want to believe it."
State Rep. Karl Oliver, a friend of the Barnhill family, remembered Marlee with fondness.
"She was just a young lady who dedicated her life to helping others," Oliver told The Jackson Clarion Ledger. "She had a sweet personality, just a precious soul."
Michael Barnhill is being held without bond at the Carroll County Jail.

European Union officials are expected to issue a record fine of at least 1.1 billion euros, or $1.2 billion, against Google as soon as Tuesday for breaking the region's tough competition rules.
Yet the hefty penalty and its timing, which were confirmed by two people with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity, are likely to be quickly overshadowed by a more complex problem: How should Google comply with the decision to rein in its power?
That dilemma will now take center stage as the tech giant fights doggedly to protect its crown jewel — its closely guarded search algorithm — from the prying eyes of regulators and, possibly, its competitors.
Potentially heavy-handed intervention may raise the hackles of Google and other companies in the American tech world, which could claim that, once again, Europe is unfairly targeting companies from the United States. The region's officials deny such accusations.
No matter the final outcome, analysts warn that jockeying for greater regulatory control over Google's services in Europe will drag on for months, if not years, as the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, tries to turn its expected antitrust decision against Google into a reality.
"The issue they're facing is, how does the European Commission solve the underlying problem" of Google's suspected antitrust abuse, said Christian Bergqvist, an associate professor of competition law at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. "It will be very difficult to structure any remedy."
As part of her decision, which is likely on Tuesday but may be delayed, Margrethe Vestager, Europe's competition chief, is expected to call for Google to change how it ranks some of its search products to give its rivals — a collection of mostly small European and American tech companies — greater prominence when people search online.
How Google responds to these demands will be left to the company, which must provide the region's authorities with potential technical solutions to counter its perceived antitrust abuse. Officials can ask for more changes if they are not satisfied with Google's initial proposals.
Experts and some of the company's competitors claim that any changes would most likely require greater oversight of Google's products, including a potential independent monitor over its search services (and, potentially, its algorithms) in Europe to guarantee that it continues to comply with the antitrust ruling.
A spokeswoman for the European Commission declined to comment on the potential announcement.
Google, which has repeatedly said that it has not done anything illegal, said that it continued to work with the region's authorities on the antitrust investigation, which began in 2010.
"We believe strongly that our innovations in online shopping have been good for shoppers, retailers and competition," Al Verney, a company spokesman, said in a statement.
The coming announcement against Google represents a watershed moment for the search giant, which holds more than 90 percent of the market in online search across Europe. Still, the potential fine represents a mere fraction of the company's $90.3 billion in revenue in 2016.
Ms. Vestager first charged the company in 2015 with unfairly diverting online traffic from competitors to favor its own comparison shopping site. That investigation was followed a year later by similar European antitrust charges against Android, Google's popular mobile software, and, in July 2016, accusations that Google illegally promoted some of its advertising services over those of others. The company denies all of the charges.
Other American tech companies, including Apple, Facebook and Amazon, also remain under investigation by European officials for a variety of antitrust, tax and privacy reasons. And while the companies deny any wrongdoing, the continued focus, and potential hefty fines, have given European authorities an increasingly large say over how much of the internet is regulated. That position comes despite European tech companies mostly failing to keep pace with their American counterparts.
"Europe has been more aggressive in enforcement against monopolies than the U.S.," said Nicolas Petit, a professor of competition law and economics at the University of Liège in Belgium. "In Europe, we're more threatened by the dominance of big companies."
As Google and its foes prepare for battle over how the search giant should comply with Europe's upcoming antitrust decision, much attention will focus on lessons from a previous failed attempt to settle the online shopping case in 2014.
Joaquín Almunia, Europe's then-competition chief, had won concessions from Google that allowed its rivals to be given greater prominence in people's specialized search results related to shopping, restaurants and local business reviews.
Yet that deal quickly fell apart after competitors complained that they would have to pay Google to be shown next to individuals' online queries. French and German politicians also warned that the proposed agreement still allowed the search giant to maintain its online dominance. European antitrust officials eventually scrapped the deal, and reopened the investigation.
Analysts and Google's rivals stressed that any new proposal must go further than these previous efforts, which included placing competitors' ads online alongside Google's own digital advertising.
To ensure the company complies, one remedy may include the regular monitoring of Google's action by an outside group. The company, however, also has the option of removing some of its specialized search results altogether, or returning them to what they looked like before Europe's investigation began almost a decade ago.
"All that the complainants are asking for is that Google restores the level playing field," said Shivaun Raff, a founder of Foundem, a British comparison shopping site that was the first company to file a complaint against Google.
For Michael Weber, director of Hot Maps, a German digital mapping company, the conclusion to Europe's antitrust investigation into Google's online shopping service cannot come soon enough.
Hot Maps has filed a complaint against the search giant for favoring its mapping product over those of rivals. Google denies the accusations, but Mr. Weber hopes that Europe's pending antitrust decision — and large fine — can be used as a precedent in his case, which is separate, but connected, to the online shopping charges.
"I can't image life without being a complainant against Google, it's been going on for such a long time," said Mr. Weber, who first filed his claim in 2011. "It has become something like a marriage."

"The teacher assigns each student a partner and asks a question related to whatever topic the students are studying. The students are given time to think of their answer (and maybe jot down a few notes. Then, at the teacher's signal, they turn and discuss their answers with their partners. The teacher can wander around and eavesdrop on the conversations, providing support when needed. After a few minutes, the teacher may call on pairs of students to report what they talked about." (Wright, 2015, pg. 171).
"This relatively simple and quick technique gives all students a chance to think and speak about the topic, instead of just two or three students," (Echevarris, Vogt, Short, 2014, pg. 198).
think-pair-share with el students
"Think-Pair-Share provides build-in wait time in a low-risk environment. Everyone is talking at once, and the ELLs are talking with only one peer. If their answers are not quite right, their partners may be able to help them clarify misunderstanding. If they are asked to report their answer to the class, they have already had a chance to practice answering with their partners and thus can answer with greater confidence." (Wright 2015, pg. 171).
This is an example of a graphic organizer that can be used in a think-pair-share. This image has columns that help the students organize their thoughts and helps them to be prepared when they are asked to talk about what they discussed in front of the whole class.

Kyaaa!!! Bamboo's second single, Last Days on a Cruise Ship from their album Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday is already out! The video was awesome! Aside from the amazing song, I also loved the outfits being used by the women in the video. The "dog" or whatever you call it (seeing it makes me remember the TV drama, Lobo) is pretty cool. I want to have one! haha
I've watched it last week and from then on, I've been waiting for it to be uploaded on Youtube. Looks like Lady Luck isn't on my side since I can't find the official video on Youtube or any video streaming sites... So, to those who haven't watched it yet... blee! Just kidding! Anyways, visit Bamboo's Official Site to see the video or just click the photo!
