The Northern Territory is Australia's land of plenty and its good fortune can not be taken for granted or squandered, says Treasurer Dave Tollner.
His second budget, worth $6 billion, is short on dramatic cuts, instead making many small nips across government in an attempt to reduce the $723 million deficit to $39 million - or perhaps even bring the budget back to surplus - by 2017-18.
The government is keen to position the Territory as the driver of development in northern Australia, pointing to its large gas reserves and capacity to meet the growing global demand for food.
The Territory economy is outpacing the national economy's growth due to private investment in the INPEX Ichthys LNG project, mine expansions and oilfield developments, and economic growth is expected to reach six per cent next year.
But this budget doesn't offer indigenous people much, said Palmer United Party member Alison Anderson.
Most money for the bush is rolled up in national partnership agreements, rather than being funded by the NT, she said.
"They talk about economic development but there's no inclusiveness of indigenous economic development in their plan for the future of the north", she told AAP.
"It sends the message that they don't care about the bush," she said.
But Mr Tollner rejected this: "If we are ever going to realise the dream of a developed north Australia, we cannot just focus on (urban) areas."
The Territory is fundamentally driven by products from the bush such as tourism, mining, agriculture, and gas exploration, he said, and money was being funnelled into roads and infrastructure, and into regional and remote schools.
"We need to diversify the economy; we're trying to get rid of the boom and bust cycle," he said.
But the high cost of living is still an obstacle, said Opposition Leader Delia Lawrie.
"There's too much pain on Territorians right now," she said.
With taxation revenue expected to increase by $83 million to $568.6 million next year, Ms Lawrie said the current administration "is the highest-taxing government in the Territory's history".
Mr Tollner said his budget was a "miracle" for being able to save with so many small efficiency measures, and no jobs or services were cut, save through natural attrition.
Education spending grew from $845 million to $871 million in "the most family-friendly budget ever handed down in the NT", he said.
Infrastructure spending was down $11 million to $1.14 billion, with $224 for housing and $378 million for roads and national highways.
Health received the biggest slice - $1.35 billion - with $22.8 million to upgrade the overstretched Royal Darwin Hospital, and $28 million to expand the mandatory rehabilitation program for problem drinkers.
The $723 million fiscal deficit is almost double what was forecast last year owing to the late completion of the $521 million Darwin prison.
The delayed project is also partially behind the rise in net debt to $4.1 billion, up from $3.4 billion in last year's estimate.
It is expected to reach $4.16 billion by 2017-18, which is lower than expected.

Greetings everyone,
I have been lurking around on the forums for a long time while I have been studying Hebrew. Now I am on my way to learning Greek (classical and Koine, and little Latin when I get bored) and I have no real concept of Greek pronunciation. I was curious if there is an audio component for Homeric Greek or any complementary resources. I have searched the forums and these resources seem either scant, non-existant, or have been deleted by their owners.
Does anyone have any good resources for pronunciation and/or links to sound files for pronunciation?

Car buffs now have the opportunity to use a tire shine that's been favored for years by professional detailers, car dealers, and auto enthusiasts. It's new and improved More Shine from Stoner, Inc. According to Stoner national product manager John Goldbach, "the product's name tells part of the story – it gives dull tires a 'like new' shine. The rest of the story is discovered in the convenient aerosol packaging. One big benefit here is that, More Shine absolutely will not drip, foam, or leave a milky mess that has to be wiped with a rag. It's the fastest and easiest way to make tires look their best."
More Shine sprays on quickly and easily, instantly restoring color and shine to faded tires. In fact, a set of four tires can be impressively shined in just 60 seconds! No mess, no rags, no dirty hands. The easy-to-apply aerosol performs equally well on dry or wet tires. Goldbach says the secret is in the formulation -- no water is used like in other products. In fact, the dressing repels water and water-borne dirt for a longer lasting shine.
It's easier than ever for consumers to purchase Stoner's More Shine, says General Manager, Rob Marchalonis. "As of March 2006, More Shine is available in newly redesigned, 4-color cans at over 2000 locations throughout the U.S., such as Murray's, Checkers, Shucks, Kragen and O'Reilly Auto," he says. In addition, consumers can order the product in a kit direct from Stoner that includes 3 cans of More Shine, plus a bonus can of Stoner's no-streak window cleaner, Invisible Glass, for $19.95 plus $4.50 shipping and handling. A larger, 12-can Complete Car Care kit for $49.95 includes all of Stoner's most popular auto detailing products. "If they prefer, consumers can order from our web site, www.moreshine.com, which is devoted to all our retail auto detailing products," adds Goldbach. If the product does not perform to customers' satisfaction, they may return the unused portion within 30 days for a full refund.

BANGUI, Central African Republic Renewed fighting between government forces and rebels seeking to overthrow the president broke out Friday in Central African Republic's third-largest city, a military official said, hours after the U.S. ambassador and his team were evacuated from the capital.
Government soldiers appeared to be in control of Bambari after the clashes, according to military officials. The town is located about 240 miles from the capital and had been under rebel control for five days.
The United States evacuated about 40 people, including the U.S. ambassador, on an U.S. Air Force plane bound for Kenya, said U.S. officials who insisted on anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the operation. The United States has special forces troops in the country who are assisting in the hunt for Joseph Kony, the fugitive rebel leader of another rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army.
The U.S. special forces remain in the country, the U.S. military's Africa Command said from its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
The evacuation of the U.S. diplomats came in the wake of criticism of how the U.S. handled diplomatic security before and during the attack on its consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11. The ambassador and three other Americans were killed in that attack.

Tiny House Infographic
A week ago people from all corners of the world participated in Tiny House Survey where we wanted to compare how people in tiny houses compared to the rest of America. What started out as a simple question, lead to more than 2,400 people responding! We were so humbled and excited by the response that we wanted to do something special. So we wanted to make an infographic about people who live in Tiny Houses.
What is an infographic?
Infographics are a visual way to share data about an interesting topic. Instead of boring graphs and spreadsheets, we are working with a graphic designer to tell the story with color and vivid graphics. You can find many examples of Infographics on the web to get an idea of what we hope to put together.
How kickstarter works:
Kickstarter is a crowd funding website, meaning that the community comes together to help fund an interesting project. The trick with it is that you must set a goal, if you meet that goal in the allotted time (for us 14 days), then you get the money. If you fall short of that goal, even a dollar short, you get nothing, not one penny. So its really important to reach that goal in under two weeks.
So we invite you to join us in telling the tale of tiny house people, but we also have some neat rewards for your help in our project!

Rush is among the new honorees set to receive The Guitar Center's coveted RockWalk award. The RockWalk was established in 1985 at the original Guitar Center location on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Unlike with similar awards, RockWalk inductees are selected solely by those who've been inducted in the past.
Joining Rush in this year's honors are fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette and Grammy-winning Latin rockers Mana. Each will have their own ceremony, where invitation-only attendants will deliver speeches and the handprints of the honored artists will be place in cement. Rush, Morissette and Mana join such past RockWalk honorees as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, AC/DC, B.B. King and Van Halen. The dates for the inductions are:
August 21 – Alanis Morissette
September 17 – Mana
November 20 -- Rush

New York Giant Receivers = Gun Magnets?
Once again I had to travel no further than the NFL website for my article. So let me shoot straight here i think that the Giants receivers are gun magnets. 1. Steve Smith robbed at gun point, 2. Plaxico Burress shot himself, and now the most recent Taye Biddle(read article).
New York Giants receiver Taye Biddle is recovering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg after being shot while visiting family in his hometown.
Decatur police said in a statement Thursday that Biddle was shot outside a residence and was treated and released from a hospital. Police said there was no evidence Biddle caused or provoked the shooting.
"He had surgery on his hand today," Biddle's friend, Bruce Jones, told The Decatur Daily Thursday. "He told me his leg is OK, and he ought to be fine."
The 25-year-old Biddle grew up in Decatur and played college football at the University of Mississippi.
Police have not made any arrests in the case.
Biddle was promoted from the Giants' practice squad after receiver Plaxico Burress was suspended for a game in September.
After this I cant help but wonder why are all their receivers dealing with guns going against them here lately. My hopes and prayers go out to Taye Biddle for a speedy recovery even though I hate the Giants with all my heart. I also pray that all this non-sense with guns should end sometime soon how many people are going to have to get hurt and killed for this to sink in to people. The NFL has already lost one great player in Sean Taylor due to some stupid people with a gun breaking into house. So with that I will end this entry with my prayers going out to every NFL player along with every person in the world and to our new President Barrack Obama and may he be safe throughout his term and for the rest of his life.

I did hesitate, never attending Reunion before and wondering what to expect at my 35th, but the class dinner's open seats beckoned. Selecting one, I chatted with people on either side, sampling my soup as the slide show began. Music pressed the hum of conversation from the room while images of our graduation and vintage campus headlines moved us back in time. Something flashed by me on the screen. I wasn't sure what I had seen, but paid closer attention. There. On the next slide: Two figures. One faced front, her suit skirt taut over a wide lap, upturned chin under a bell of gleaming light hair; the second in feathery curls, darker-than-midnight, heavily rimmed sunglasses over a bold-print dress. Each sported a large square purse, held firmly against an erect midriff, anchoring family dignity. Beaming at me out of the May '73 commencement sunshine sat my two grandmothers. I hadn't remembered their attendance at my graduation, yet with their presence so documented, the Grandmas had come to Reunion. Stunned at how easily I might have missed them by failing to attend the dinner or reaching for a roll, I whispered around my table, "I just saw my Grandmas up there."
Widowed early in life, each lived alone, dwelling in Cord-Meyer's apartment forest, north of Queens Boulevard, Jamaica Estates expatriates, but New Yorkers, from birth through the Depression and two World Wars. In fine weather, they would band together across the front seat of a wide-finned Buick and barrel out to Long Island's north shore, joining us and staying for dinner. The afternoon passed in heated debate over memories of the city and society they had shared, while my mother kept her eye on the oven. Listening from my corner of the kitchen table, they seemed as eternal a pairing as the moon and the tides.
Though neither had been to college, their opinions were sought with an expectation of closure. One had studied drama and been a beauty of stage and silent screen. She could make a party of a thick Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake and, turning business-woman, managed her husband's properties when he died. The other worked in her family's jewelry concern before marriage and played piano accompaniment in the silent-movie theaters. She knew which colors and styles one should wear and how a nearly right garment might be altered. While shopping on Fifth Avenue one evening, she declined to leave the store despite the announced early closing. She remained for dinner in the employees' cafeteria and spent the night of the 1965 East Coast black-out in the mattress department of B. Altman & Co.
The Grandmas ventured to my summer camps, upstate and in New Hampshire, and to my adult home in Minnesota. Barnard pleased them unseen, on familiar territory and well known. My mother, a distinguished student, graduated from Vassar in the '40s. With passion for books, art, politics, and volunteer work, her strong sense of the Seven Sisters accompanied me through childhood, along with her fierce encouragement of me, her only daughter.
The reunion events swirled on. But the marvel to me was my Grandmas. How good it was to see them again, to think of them, alive and seated in that very courtyard. The thought carried awareness of converging currents: my mother's zeal in staking out the front row; Barnard, taking and preserving pictures; the Reunion committee, unearthing gems I didn't suspect the College had; time propelling me across the country and back to campus. Barnard's archivist sped the pictures to me, identifying them and realizing their value. Identifying value is probably what reunions are about, such value as people discover understanding the past, enhancing their present. I had touched treasure so rare I could hardly speak of it above a whisper, returning from Reunion with the unexpected awe of an archaeologist whose emotion eclipses the bare facts of her find.

A Thomasville man died Saturday afternoon in a fire at his Fairgrove Road house that started in the kitchen.
A Thomasville man died Saturday afternoon in a fire at his Fairgrove Road house that started in the kitchen.
Firefighters found Jerry Lee Thomas, 46, dead inside the house at 475 Fairgrove Road. Fire Chief Martin Dailey said firefighters discovered him near a door that led from an open carport into the house. He apparently died from smoke inhalation.
"It appears he may have tried to get out and must have been overcome and collapsed right there," Dailey said.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The incident appears to be accidental, said Robbie Binkley, battalion chief with the Thomasville Fire Department.
The call for the fire came in a little after 4 p.m. Binkley said the fire was out within 45 minutes, and the house was declared a total loss. The fire took place in the back of the house in the kitchen. Dailey said it appeared Thomas may have been cooking in the kitchen.
All of the Thomasville Fire Department units along with the Fair Grove and Pilot volunteer fire departments responded to the fire.
Brinkley said Thomas was the only one at the house at the time. He said another adult and four children also live in the home; however, the other adult and two of the children were out of town while the other children were with family members.
The local chapter of the American Red Cross will provide assistance.
The State Bureau of Investigation is investing the cause of the fire.

Reliever Brad Lidge will be activated from the disabled list in time for tomorrow night's game against the New York Mets, the Phillies announced.
Lidge, 33, was placed on the disabled list on March 26, while recovering from right elbow surgery. He combined to go 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA with four walks and eight strikeouts in eight rehab appearances between Triple A Lehigh Valley, Double A Reading and Single A Clearwater. After allowing five runs over his first two rehab appearances in 1.2 innings, Lidge pitched 7.0 scoreless innings over his final six appearances.
To make room for Lidge on the 25-man roster, lefthanded pitcher Antonio Bastardo was optioned to Lehigh Valley after yesterday's game.

And if she had wished it, Chicagoan DeLois Barrett Campbell surely could have been a far bigger star singing solo in jazz, blues, pop, Broadway, you name it.
But Campbell and her siblings, who for more than 60 years performed as the Barrett Sisters, early in life found a kind of personal salvation in sacred music and clung to it despite hardships that never really flagged.
Campbell died Tuesday at a Chicago hospital of complications from pneumonia, said her sister, Billie Barrett GreenBey. She was 85 and had been battling arthritis, cardiac problems and other ailments for years.

Dear Mamas, please help! DD is 5.5 months old and is EBF since birth. Her neck is reddish almost like it's bleeding or about to and has some whitish stuff which initially i thought was milk (we co sleep and do side lying position a lot) residue from her dreamfeeds. I tried to wipe it with a damp cotton ball. Couldnt really do much cleaning as she starts to cry/fuss when I even just slightly touch that area... Today, we tried to put baby powder but it just turned the powder into a chalk like texture and most of her neck still wet. DD is 8kgs last time we checked so she is a bit on the chubby side so that part of her neck doesnt see the light of day.
Is this normal or is this a yeast infection? I was thinking of applying nappy rash cream or should I use other ointments? Vaseline maybe or should I just continue with the powder? We bathe her daily in the morning or afternoon but by evening time her neck is really red... how can I know if it's a yeast infection?

U.S. Department of Energy Programs Support Wind Energy
AWEADry Lake Wind Power Project, in Navajo Country, Arizona, is the state's first utility-scale wind farm with 30 turbines.
Kenneth Alston, Special Assistant for Finance, U.S. Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through a wide portfolio of activities, aids the development and deployment of wind energy, and the results are taking hold: This clean energy technology has doubled its generating capacity in the United States over the past four years.
A Growing Market
Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing energy technologies in the nation. In 2012, wind energy was the number one source of new energy generation capacity installed in the United States, contributing more than 40 percent of all new generating capacity. Total installed wind capacity in the country has reached more than 60,000 megawatts—enough to power 15.2 million homes annually, more than the number of homes in the states of California and Washington combined.
At the end of 2012, nine states met more than 10 percent of their total electricity needs with wind power, 39 states had utility-scale1 wind projects, and 15 states had more than 1,000 megawatts of installed capacity wind power. Wind energy generates more than 3 percent of the nation's electricity portfolio, and according to a 2008 DOE report, wind energy could power as much as 20 percent of the nation's electricity by 2030.
What We Do
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy oversees the DOE's Wind Program. The program, which had a budget of more than $88 million in 2013, helps accelerate deployment of wind power technologies by improving turbine performance, driving down the levelized cost2 of energy, and reducing market barriers to wind energy deployment. The program works with national laboratories, industry, universities, and other federal agencies on both land-based and offshore wind power projects.
Other organizations within the DOE also play an important role in fostering wind energy development. The Loan Program Office has supported more than $1.7 billion in new wind project financing, while the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has issued funding awards for early-stage research and development in wind energy components, materials, and turbines.
Our Activities
The DOE's wind energy activities focus on four areas:
Through these programs and projects, the DOE will continue to support the growth of the nation's wind industry and the promotion of a clean-energy economy.
For more information, visit www1.eere.energy.gov/wind/ or contact Kenneth Alston at (202) 586-5000 or email@example.com.
1The term "utility-scale" applies to large turbine installations requiring transmission system interconnection.
2Levelized cost is often cited as a convenient summary measure of the overall competitiveness of different generating technologies. It represents the per-kilowatt-hour cost (in real dollars) of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed financial life and duty cycle. Key inputs to calculating levelized costs include overnight capital costs, fuel costs, fixed and variable operations and maintenance costs, financing costs, and an assumed utilization rate for each plant type.

The Dodgers last year went 42-8 from June to August. It was an incredible run.
A year later, the Dodgers are struggling at 31-30 after Wednesday's loss to the Chicago White Sox in their series finale. The difference? Togetherness, manager Don Mattingly said.
Los Angeles once again wasn't all that together. Josh Beckett pitched well enough to win, but his teammates couldn't buy many runs — or many hits, for that matter — and the White Sox came away with a 2-1 victory before 45,540 at Dodger Stadium.
Beckett (3-3) took the loss. He pitched six innings and gave up nine hits and two runs — home runs by Leury Garcia and Adam Dunn — while striking out six.
Left-hander John Danks, who entered with a 3-5 record and an ERA of 4.66, picked up his fourth victory. He allowed just two hits — both by Dee Gordon — and one run while striking out five. He walked three and hit Scott Van Slyke twice.
The Dodgers, who had just the two hits, got their only run in the eighth inning when Hanley Ramirez grounded into a forceout that brought home Gordon, who had hit a one-out double.
Ronald Belisario — throwing smoke — closed out the game for the White Sox for the second consecutive night by pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. It was his fifth save.
Prior to the game, Mattingly emphasized that his team's struggles are not the result of one or two players failing to play up to their potential. It's about the team not playing as a unit.
Mattingly brought former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda into the conversation.
"Tommy says it all the time," Mattingly said. "And it seems corny at times, but he says, 'Hey, we've all gotta get on one end of the rope and pull.' And you know what? As many times as you've heard Tommy say it, it's absolutely true."
Afterward, Mattingly was an upset man.
"Josh was good, the bullpen threw the ball good," Mattingly said. "Yeah, obviously, Danks was that good tonight. He was just better than us tonight. I just thought he was better than us. He was better than us tonight. I really think you should talk to them.
"I'm tired of answering the questions, honestly. Home, away, whatever, I don't know. It's just being, basically, (expletive). We're just not that good."
When a reporter asked Mattingly about the slump Adrian Gonzalez is in — he went 0 for 4 in the cleanup spot — Mattingly was not happy.
"Seriously, one thing, and we're going to look at one thing," he said, frustrated. "I don't have any problems with Adrian at all, to be honest with you."
A lifetime .293 hitter, Gonzalez is batting .259 and has four hits in his last 22 at-bats.
Indeed, frustration has set in as the Dodgers are now just one game over .500 and have lost three of four.
Asked what his team needs to do to turn it around, Mattingly said, "We need to win."
Catcher Drew Butera wore a bummed-out look.
"Yeah, it's frustrating," Butera said. "We got the loss. He (Beckett) pitched real well, the bullpen pitched real well. It's frustrating we couldn't give him a little help."
Beckett was asked what he thought about his manager's analogy about everyone tugging on the end of the rope.
"I don't know," he said. "I don't get too caught up in that stuff. My job here is to make quality pitches and execute."
On the plus side, the Dodgers are playing well defensively. They had one error Wednesday, the only one in the three-game series. Gordon has noticed.
"I think we're playing better defense," he said. "We've been on page on the defensive side of the ball. We've been playing better defensively."
The White Sox (31-30) got on the board in the top of the third when Garcia smacked a home run over the center-field fence on the first pitch from Beckett. Garcia came in with just 46 at-bats, one RBI and no major-league home runs.
An inning later, Dunn took Beckett deep over the right-field wall for his ninth home run of the season and a 2-0 Chicago lead.
The Dodgers had a chance to score in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and Gonzalez on second via an error and Van Slyke at first on a walk, Justin Turner came to bat. He hit a ground ball to second baseman Gordon Beckham, who threw out Turner at first after missing a tag on Van Slyke. A rundown ensued with the ball eventually being thrown to third base to try and get Gonzalez, who had rounded the bag.
Gonzalez was ruled safe, and Van Slyke had gotten to second. But White Sox manager Robin Ventura asked for a review, and Gonzalez was subsequently called out to end the inning.
The fifth inning might have brought a first. The White Sox had runners at the corners with one out. Dunn was issued what appeared to be a walk to load the bases. But Mattingly came out to talk to the umpires, apparently telling that it was only a 3-2 count.
Umpires then instituted a crew review and Mattingly was right. Dunn came back to the plate and was struck out by Beckett on a slow curve. Beckett got out of the inning when Alexei Ramirez hit into a force play.
The Dodgers now head to Colorado to begin a three-game series Friday. Then they will play four at Cincinnati starting Monday.

DEL CAMINO -- The matchbook cover advertises fine food at moderate prices, but it has been more than 30 years since Del Camino served fine food at any price.
The restaurant-slash-coffee shop-slash-Texaco truck stop that's advertised on the matchbook, known at one time for white linens and Sunday brunches, met its end in the 1970s.
Braun Schuetze had married into the family that operated Del Camino. In the late 1960s, she and then-husband Marty Burger lived just off-site, and when she got home from her job as a speech pathologist, she sometimes helped out at the restaurant "when someone would quit."
But progress passed Colo. Highway 119's biggest attraction, and it met a bulldozer. Schuetze remembers the day in the late '80s -- just not exactly which day -- when on her way home from Denver she exited Interstate 25, turned west onto 119 and was shocked to see that complex at the southwest corner of the intersection had been scraped.
The matchbook survived, probably pocketed years earlier by a customer when Del Camino still employed waitresses. The name lived on, unintentionally. Today, Del Camino is that place by the highway, as its Spanish name suggests.
"I think you can say that Del Camino happened without a plan," Realtor Arnold Turner said during a recent tour of the area. "And is it a great example of poor planning without a master plan? Or is a great example of entrepreneurship? There's a lot going on out here."
A lot going on, indeed.
Turner Boulevard
The Del Camino gas station and restaurant, a Stuckey's on the north side of 119, the I-25 Inn where the 1st Inn still sits today -- those came with the completion of I-25 in 1961. Then a mobile home park sprouted southwest of the Texaco. More hotels, gas stations, fast-food restaurants and commercial and industrial buildings followed.
"When you build a highway, growth's going to come to that highway. It's inevitable," Turner said. "What has kept Del Camino growing is that it's rural, and the taxes are cheaper."
Being in the property business, Turner knows well Del Camino's poor planning side and its entrepreneurial side.
The Del Camino McDonald's backs up to what was once aptly named Burger Road, after Arnold and Lambert Burger, two of the three partners in the Del Camino Corp., which had turned a Texaco station into the Del Camino and built the Stuckey's.
Del Camino Corp. deeded the road to Weld County, but the county didn't want it. Burger Road was only 40 feet wide; the county's standard was 50 feet. The corporation went bankrupt in 1980, leaving the road unclaimed and not maintained.
Turner was working for someone in the area at the time and discovered a number of liens against the road, including one by the makers of Zep hand cleaner against a truck stop. He cleared them all, one by one, and found a provision in the final lien that allowed the deed to be released to him. He named the street Turner Boulevard, because it sounded better than Turner Street, and aligned it with a dirt road that previously had met at corners with Burger Road.
When he deeded the road to Weld County, it accepted, but Turner added one demand: If the county changed the name of the road, ownership would revert to him.
Where's the Waffle House?
On average, more than 38,000 motorists a day drive Highway 119 past the Turner Boulevard sign, based on 2008 Colorado Department of Transportation numbers.
That kind of traffic sells a lot of gasoline and hamburgers. While Turner can't place the date, he recalls a time when the Texaco station sold more gasoline than any station in the country, and the McDonald's was tops in hamburger sales.
Del Camino's location sells plenty of waffles, too. During the busy summer season, the Waffle House serves as many as 2,000 people a day. The café has one of the chain's highest daily customer averages on the Front Range, one shift manager said.
The restaurant serves regulars who travel from as far as Loveland and the north Denver metro area. On a recent weekday morning, a dozen customers -- many wearing caps and a couple in black cowboy hats -- sat at booths and at the counter, ordering hash browns, biscuits, bacon, fried eggs.
The cook and the waitresses stopped to talk with an inquiring customer. Most have worked for Waffle House for years, and a few of those say they have chosen to work at this store because the people are friendly here, even if they're not sure where "here" actually is.
From the corporate viewpoint, this is the Longmont Waffle House. The post office views the address as Longmont. Firestone has annexed up to within a few hundred yards. And one employee is pretty sure that this store is located in Erie.
"Are you sure?" Turner hollered from the counter, grinning. Behind him, the Waffle House's large windows looked across the highway to the site where the original Del Camino stood -- now a Shell station/Circle K -- at the intersection that bears Turner's name.
Del Camino is home
Across the highway, off Turner Avenue, tucked behind the fast-food restaurants, motels and an industrial park, is the River Valley Village Mobile Home Community, Mona Haddock's home since she began working there in 1993.
Haddock is sure that she is from Del Camino, as are the others who choose to live in the 210-unit park, many because of its ease of access to Interstate 25 and to jobs, others because it is a "quiet community."
Turner Avenue, off Turner Boulevard, is the one way in and out.
"One of the things is, people don't really see us. We're happy about that," she said. "Occasionally we have an incident where a trucker comes in with a big truck and then has to figure out how to get turned around."
In the small community, "you get to know the people around you," she said. "My sister lives in town, and I don't feel like she knows her neighbors. At least I know who lives out here. ... It's easy to get along with each other. People wave, say hi, have coffee together."
'Everybody will know'
Back in 1987, landowners in the area predicted that within five years, Del Camino would become a town of 12,000.
Other plans came and went. In 1989, the Weld County Planning Commission approved zoning for the Outlet Shoppes at Longmont. In the mid-'90s, a private company made plans for a pre-parole prison for the northeast corner of the intersection. Both plans failed.
Some folks from Longmont -- Turner among them -- thought the city should annex east and eventually take in Del Camino, but by the mid-'90s, the city's stated plan was to keep a buffer between the two. More recently, Firestone expanded to I-25, and American Furniture Warehouse and The Home Depot built within its limits. A new hotel opened east of I-25. Weld County built an annex. Even Starbucks located a coffee shop there.
West of the highway, however, Del Camino has kept much of its original character.
The collection of businesses and residents is unlikely to be annexed, Turner predicted. "What does it do for the property owners? It makes them have to pay (taxes). Why would somebody voluntarily do that?"
Haddock said of the idea of being annexed: "We'd like people to sit down and say what that means for us."
Police protection is one of the concerns. Until that comes, River Valley Village will rely on the periodic visits by a Weld County Sheriff's deputy, and on residents who keep close eyes on their own streets.
"There are ones on every street that know everything," Haddock said. "This is not the place to come if you want to go and have an affair or something. Everybody will know."

Durango School District 9-R has moved its cutoff date for starting kindergarten.
The date, formerly Oct. 1, has moved to Sept. 1.
The policy change aims to ensure children arent thrust into the wilds of kindergarten without being emotionally and socially prepared. Children whose 5th birthday falls between Sept. 1 and Oct. 1 are being assessed.
School district spokeswoman Julie Popp said registration for the 2013-14 school year is ongoing throughout this month, and the district would have a firmer idea about the number of students affected by the new policy by the end of March.
Libby Culver, director of Early Childhood for 9-R, said it was unclear how many district children would get a bonus year in preschool, but said about 23 out of 414 kids in the current crop of kindergartners had September birthdays.
Culver said preschool is a play-based learning environment, but kindergarten involves a much greater amount of teacher instruction a pedagogic transition that can prove daunting for some 5-year-olds.
Were more focused on kids readiness skills and not some arbitrary date, Culver said.
Culver said that in studying kindergartners, the district had found that most who turned 5 in September werent ready for kindergarten.
But she said the district wasnt holding hard and fast to its new September standard.
A child might be born in August, so theyre eligible for kindergarten, but if I, in discussion with parents and teachers, agree that preschool is the best environment, they dont have to go to kindergarten, Culver said.
Culver said she wasnt administering a test to the September-born students, but observing them in classrooms.
Its less to do with academic skills and more to do with their enthusiasm towards learning, and with their social and emotional development how theyre able to focus and listen and attend in a classroom with a bunch of other kids, she said.
The parents of students not ready for kindergarten will not be forced to pay for another year of preschool. Culver said state funds would be used to cover such students tuition for the unanticipated year of preschool.
Were not taking extra dollars from the district to do this, Culver said, and were not trying to keep kids out of our schools. Were trying to make sure that every kid can be successful.

Lee M. Flannery, 26, of Effort, passed away May 19, 2013. Lee was born in Livingston, N.J., on March 21, 1987, and was the son of Michael Flannery and Sandra (Prekaza) Flannery of Effort.
He was a self-employed building contractor.
He was a member of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gilbert.
In addition to his parents, Michael and Sandra, he is survived by a brother, Kristopher Flannery of Anchorage, Alaska; a sister, Jillian Flannery of Effort; his paternal grandmother, Loretta Flannery of West Palm Beach, Fla.; his maternal grandmother, Joan Prekaza of Toms River, N.J.; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Lee was preceded in death by two sisters, Shannon and Meredith Flannery; and two grandfathers, Alexander Prekaza and John J. Flannery.
Lee was a good son, and brother to Kris and Jillian. He adored his sister, Jillian, who has Mowat-Wilson syndrome, and she will miss him terribly. Lee was loved and liked by everyone. He was generous and always willing to help his family and friends, sacrificing his own needs for them. He never said no to anyone. He was the life of the party, and the West End community will surely miss him.
Family was everything to Lee. And "Little Lee," "Leonard," "Leeford," "Bud" loved nothing more than hanging with his cousins and friends. He loved the New Jersey shore, the beach, bonfires and camping. He loved to cook for others and worked at New York Pizza Girl for years. He was most proud of his own company, In the Budget Contracting, which he had run for a few years. He worked for many local contractors in the area and was a skilled tile man. There wasn't anyone who didn't like him when they met him.
Lee died after a long battle with drug and alcohol addictions. He suffered from his addictions, which were too powerful for him to beat. He didn't want to admit it. He wouldn't want to see any of his friends follow his path. Let's not let his death be forgotten and make something good come out of it. He would have wanted that. He burnt the candle at both ends and now there is no light left to shine.
Family and friends are welcome to offer their condolences from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 24, at Donald N. Gower Funeral Home, Route 209, Gilbert. An additional viewing will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 25, at the funeral home.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gilbert, with his uncle, the Rev. Patrick Flannery, as concelebrant.
Lee will be interred at Gilbert Cemetery in Gilbert.
Lee always worried about taking care of his sister Jillian, so in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Sandie Flannery in trust for Jillian Flannery. A trust fund has been set up for her at ESSA Bank and Trust.

Michael Vick came off very well and said all the right things during today's introductory press conference at the NovaCare Complex.
That doesn't mean everyone is going to forgive him. It doesn't mean everyone will believe that he's sorry and wants to do the right things. Or that everyone is going to support the Eagles for adding him to their roster.
The truth is we won't know just how sorry he really is until one, two, five or even 10 years down the road when we see the steps he's taken to right the wrongs of the past. As is usually the case, this is less about what he says and more about what he does. Vick said as much today.
But this was the first step. Vick did not dodge any questions. He answered slowly and thoughtfully. He made no excuses.
He either has given this a lot of thought or has been advised very well by Tony Dungy and company.
Some things that stood out:
** Let's start with Dungy. Rarely is a coach, or a person for that matter, so universally liked and respected. He retired from the game to help people, which got me thinking -- what's really in this for him? If he didn't feel Vick was sorry, that Vick deserved a second chance, he would have no reason to get on board. His imprint is all over this thing. If Vick goes down the wrong path, fairly or unfairly, Dungy will likely take it as hard as anyone. If you're going to take a risk like this, it's good to have someone like Dungy overseeing it.
** When the Vick scandal first surfaced, I think most of us thought -- why would someone engage in something like this when he has it all? Money, fame, etc. Looking back, Vick now asks himself the same question:
"I was wrong for what I did," he said. "Everything that happened at that point of time in my life was wrong and was unnecessary. And to this day, I can't understand why I was involved in such pointless activity. And why did I risk so much at the pinnacle of my career. And I was naive to a lot of things, but I figure if I can help more animals than I hurt, then I'm contributing, I'm doing my part."
** Earlier I said he made no excuses. Here's what I meant:
"We all use the excuse it was part of our culture and I don't think that's an excuse," he said. "I was kind of abiding by that rule at the time. As I grew older and as things started to transpire, and then when I went to prison, I had plenty of time to think about what I did. And I've seen people's reactions. And up until that point I never really cared. I won't say I didn't care, but I never thought about it. Now I understand that people care about their animals, they care about the health, the welfare, the protection of animals, and now I do. So that's why I say if I can help more than I hurt, then I'm contributing. I'm doing what I need to do."
** My primary question from a football aspect has been about Vick's ability. I feel like everyone's forgetting that he hasn't been on the field since the end of 2006, nearly three years ago. Are we sure he's the same athlete he once was? Has he lost a step? Will his body be able to endure the blows and contact associated with playing in the NFL? Here's what Vick said:
"I'm ready to go. I've stayed in shape. I did all the things to keep up my physical physique and it was harder when I was away, but over the last two months I've been able to manage and do things necessary to maintain my weight and my build, and hopefully my speed. And I think I've tested myself, tested the waters and I feel great."
** And finally, kudos to whoever it was that asked Vick how he comes to terms with the fact that some people will never forgive him. Because there are a lot of those people out there. Some have commented or e-mailed me in fact. Vick's response:
"I understand," he said. "... I can't explain how deeply hurt and how sorry I was once everything went down and I had to explain to my three kids what had happened, what had transpired to me, and it was because of daddy's faults and those were the toughest things, so I asked them for a second chance, to be a better father, to do the right things and to show them the way and how things are supposed to be done."
Feel free to chime in. Maybe I'm naive and/or gullible, but I wll admit to feeling better about this thing now than I did 12 hours ago.

It's common to work from home when self-employed, but a growing number of employees are choosing to move back into their own four walls, at least temporarily, to work in a peaceful, productive environment. Are you thinking of working from home? Read our tips for working as successfully as possible in your home office.
1. Get your morning off to the right start!
Working from home means foregoing the morning journey to work. That means it's up to you to jump-start your body with some exercise and an oxygen-kick. A short walk, a jog, or even moving to loud music can help bring your circulation up to full speed and give you an active start to your day.
2. Keep your composure
Don't let yourself go. A sloppy appearance reflects itself in your working attitude. As tempting as they may be, leave your jogging bottoms in your drawer and dress as you would to go to the office. Dressing neatly works wonders for your working attitude and self-perception.
3. The to-do list!
There's nothing like a polished plan and a well thought-out structure, because goals are most easily achieved when they're broken down into clear, manageable steps. Keep the bigger picture in mind by noting down your most important tasks and working through them systematically. This keeps you motivated and helps you keep a good overview of your (most likely!) chaotic desk.
4. Keep it tidy
Speaking of chaos: don't get lost in a pile of papers and folders. Stay on top of things here, too, because a tidy desk means a tidy mind. At the very least, being able to see everything on your desk spares you having to search for important documents, and helps you feel like you have everything under control.
5. Lunch time!
Keep to specific break times at home, too, and avoid eating lunch in front of your computer. Maybe meet colleagues or business partners for lunch and chat about work. Another great idea is to get all of your unpleasant work out of the way before 12pm. That way, you can start the afternoon with new enthusiasm and look forward to the exciting challenges it brings you!
6. Keep to deadlines
A to-do list isn't just useful for your own desk, it also helps to keep deadlines set out in writing with your boss or colleagues. This is a great motivator and helps you keep upcoming tasks and projects in mind.
7. Create a good working environment
To get started at home, it's important keep your work area separate from your private life. Your own office in a separate room is ideal. If you don't have enough space, at least position your desk in an appealing way. If possible, put your desk next to a window, so that your working area is light and inviting. Like listening to music? There's nothing wrong with a little music while you work, so long as it doesn't affect your concentration.

Cave and Karst Management
NPS authority for the management of cave resources comes from the general authorities discussed in the Introduction to this Reference Manual, the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988 (FCRPA) and its implementing regulations at 43 CFR Part 37, and the Lechuguilla Cave Protection Act of 1993, 16 U.S.C. § 4301 note (1994).
Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988
The Federal Cave Resources Protection Act (FCRPA) states that:(1) significant caves on federal lands are an invaluable and irreplaceable part of the nation's natural heritage; and(2) in some instances, these significant caves are threatened due to improper use, increased recreational demand, urban spread, and a lack of specific statutory protection.The FCRPA regulations at 43 CFR § 37.11(d) state that "The policy of the National Park Service, pursuant to its Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) and Management Policies (Chapter 4:20, Dec. 1988), is that all caves are afforded protection and will be managed in compliance with approved resource management plans. Accordingly, all caves on National Park Service administered lands are deemed to fall within the definition of 'significant cave.'"The purposes of the FCRPA are to:(1) secure, protect and preserve significant caves on federal lands for the perpetual use, enjoyment, and benefit of all people; and(2) foster increased cooperation and exchange of information between governmental authorities and those who use caves located on federal lands for scientific, educational, or recreational purposes.The FCRPA establishes that "It is the policy of the U.S. that Federal lands be managed in a manner which protects and maintains, to the extent practical, significant caves." In order to comply with the intent of the FCRPA, cave resources must be inventoried, or existing inventories used, to determine the significance of individual caves.
The FCRPA also contains a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption, addressing the confidentiality of information concerning the specific location of significant caves to ensure protection of the resource. The FCRPA states: "Information concerning the specific location of any significant cave may not be made available to the public under section 552 of Title 5, United States Code [FOIA] unless the Secretary determines that disclosure of such information would further the purposes of this chapter and would not create a substantive risk of harm, theft, or destruction of such cave." 16 U.S.C. § 4304(a).
National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998
Another Freedom of Information Act exemption is contained in Section 207 of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998. This provision authorizes the NPS to withhold information from the public in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request concerning the nature and specific location of threatened, endangered, rare, or commercially valuable objects, or objects of cultural patrimony located in units of the National Park System, unless the Secretary determines that:(1) disclosure of the information would further the purposes of the unit of the National Park System in which the resource or object is located and would not create an unreasonable risk of harm, theft, or destruction of the resource or object, including individual organic or inorganic specimens; and (2) disclosure is consistent with other applicable laws protecting the resource or object.The NPS's interpretation of this section of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act is that the agency will withhold information about the nature and specific location of caves when the Service foresees that disclosure of the information would be harmful to an interest protected by an exemption under FOIA. (See NPS Management Policies (2001) § 1.7.3).
Information that could reveal "the nature and specific location" of a specific cave includes, but is not limited to, survey data, surface and subsurface maps, names of geographic features.
Lechuguilla Cave Protection Act of 1993
The Lechuguilla Cave Protection Act of 1993 created a cave protection zone (CPZ) around Lechuguilla Cave. Within the CPZ, access and the removal of cave resources may be limited or prohibited; existing leases may be cancelled with appropriate compensation; and lands are withdrawn from mineral entry.Cave and Karst Management Table of Contents | RM#77 Table of Contents
