Week two of my recovered project saw very little progress. It was a busy week with the winding down of Peanuts' first year of school and all the activities that go with it. And now, since Wednesday, we've been trying to find our new summer rhythm...not an easy task when my newly graduated kindergartner is used to constant stimulation and spending so many hours with his friends.
To stay true to my commitment of my project, I went through two boxes around midnight last night. One was a cardboard box filled with old college papers...a no-brain-er, straight to the trash...the papers had gotten wet, were soon to mold and WHY am I still hanging on to college papers anyway???
The second box, luckily a large plastic (and waterproof) tub, was full of vintage fabrics my mom had passed on to me some years ago. Among the beautiful prints was this unfinished quilt top.
I thought it was something my grandmother had made, but Mom laughed saying it was not possibly her mother's...the seamstress, the perfectionist...she always completed her projects. Mom believes this to be my great-grandmother's although I guess we'll never know for sure.
One thing I do know for sure, is I will never be able to finish it. Matching the pink fabric would be the first impossible task. Also, for those of you who know me...I never did learn how to use a sewing machine.
There are many possible ways to re-purpose such a beautiful piece. Of course I went straight to Flickr looking for ideas and just had to create another gallery of inspiration.
Some close-ups of the blocks show how very pretty the fabric is...however, it also brought to my attention how the points don't match up in the middle...my guess is they should? Further proving it could not be my grandma's.
I have read that when tackling a huge purge project like this one it's best to follow these rules...try to touch the item only once and make an immediate decision about it....either put it where it belongs, give it away, or throw it away. I think I'll need to add to that list and just start a box of "treasures I'm not yet ready to part with". Being a rule-breaker is sure to have it's consequences, but this is how I'll have to deal with it for now.
Happy Friday!

No, they represent the feet of a lion. Kassapa built his fortress 1,500 years ago. Unlike the rest of South Asia, Sri Lanka has a wealth of historical documentation going back to those times and, indeed, well before. There exists an ancient guidebook called Sihigiri Vihare, as well as some other sources, that tell us what Sigiriya looked like in its prime.
Incidentally, the site shows signs of habitation by hermits (probably Buddhist monks) since the third century BCE, well before Kassapa's time.

Yes, Adam's Peak throws a long and justly-famed shadow. I think the effect is known as a 'spectre of Brocken'.
I just sent you a private message.

I'm curious as to why they couldn't have been blonde hair and blue eyed.
I'm afraid you will have to satisfy your curiosity at some other source, such as this one. I do not intend to drive a very interesting thread off topic by discussing a completely irrelevant and extraneous matter. Sigiriya and discredited European racial theories have nothing to do with each other.
edit on 8/2/12 by Astyanax because: of birds and stones.
Ramayana was originally written by a sage Valmiki in the Sanskrit language and later on it was translated into other languages in different versions. The main story of the Ramayana is about Lord Rama. In short the Ramayana is about Rama who was born in a royal family and was supposed to be the king, but because of his step- mother, he was forced to exile from his kingdom for fourteen years. During this period his consort Sita was kidnapped by a demon called Ravan, who was the king of Lanka. Rama with the help of his brother, Lakshman, and an army of monkeys under the leadership of Hanuman, rescued Sita.
And (Rama) rescued (Sita) probably right there at Sigiriya.

In particular,
And (Rama) rescued (Sita) probably right there at Sigiriya.
There are many places in Sri Lanka where Sita is said to have been held by Ravana, and from which she was rescued by Rama. Most are in the hill country, which was anciently held to be the haunt of demons. Sigiriya is not one of them.
Nowhere in the history or legends of Sigiriya is there any association with Sita. I know this for a fact. So where did you get your information?
edit on 9/2/12 by Astyanax because: of a fact.
Since I heard of this site I have thought it was very antique going back to innumerable eons
My friend that first informed me of it says that originally one entered the site through a now non existent lions mouth!! (between the the paws?)
Maybe back in the day it could only be accessed via Vimanah?

This article first appeared on Beliefnet in 2003.
As I begin my annual Ramadan fast this week, I'm not celebrating the way my mother did in Pakistan, or even the way I did as a child in Colorado. My mom's Ramadan dining table was filled with South Asian delicacies. She and her brothers, sister, and parents would gather just before sunset to open their fasts for the iftaar meal. Freshly fried onion fritters with mint chutney; spicy lamb chops with tamarind and plum chutney; soft, hot, doughy naans as well as fried tortilla-type bread called "parathas"; chicken tikka with another kind of bread called "chappatis"; pudding made of carrots grown on my grandfather's farm and other sweet dishes called "halwa."
My mother and her siblings would sit before this grand table, eyeing the items that my grandmother had spent the whole day preparing and whose scent had filled their home.
For me, this same rite of opening the fast includes warming leftover pasta in my microwave. If I'm feeling spunky, I might order Indian food for delivery. My dinner companion is Alex Trebek, hosting Jeopardy. I pray by myself and then decide whether or not to go to the gym. The only scent filling my apartment is from my neighbor's evening cigar.
If I were married, as I should have been 10 years ago under Pakistani cultural standards, I would not be opening my fast alone. And this Ramadan, like me, many Gen X Muslim women will also be fasting alone. According to statistics compiled by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), American Muslim women in their twenties and thirties outnumber Muslim men in the same age group two to one.
Ramadan is family time. My mother and her family, for instance, after eating the feast at iftaar would pray together and then have another meal - dinner - together, where they would discuss the day's events and plan the next day's fast. Traditionally, the last 10 days of Ramadan in Muslim countries are filled with frenzy in preparation for the Eid holiday that comes at the end of the month. The wedding season begins soon thereafter, packing schedules with nightly wedding events. Eligible women are at the dressmaker's store daily, begging the head tailor to complete the new, fancy outfits they commissioned before Ramadan. They want to look their best at the weddings - the site of much matchmaking in Pakistan.
For Muslim women in America, however, finding a mate is not so simple. Many female readers of my first book have recently begun asking: where do I meet eligible men who are my age, who will support my career and help me raise a family, and who are also Muslim? This query was probably the most frequent one I heard when I attended the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Convention on Labor Day Weekend. (I also heard, quite frequently, "Wearing hijab is required," from Muslim men about the same age.) The fact that these women were asking at ISNA shows how dire the situation has become. ISNA is populated primarily by immigrant Muslims and their children. Because there is no matchmaking wedding season in America, ISNA fills the void. How? To put it bluntly, the annual convention is known as a "meat market," where second-generation Muslims flock from all over the country to check each other out.
I was stunned! If you know anything about ISNA, you know how odd a "dating" event at ISNA is. (Imagine an evangelical Christian conference hosting a keynote speech explaining how to support gay rights, and you'll see why I was surprised.) But perhaps ISNA is finally taking notice of the marriage crisis gripping many young American Muslims.
Sadly, speed dating is probably not the answer. Reports from the event were that well-intentioned women in their late twenties showed up, only to meet men who were either dressed gang banger or like maulvis and just shy of their sophomore year in college.
"Aunties were gathered outside the speed dating room, inspecting all the women who came in," a dotcom founder attending ISNA told me, rolling his eyes.
"Just like back in Pakistan," I added.
I appreciate that ISNA is trying to address the marriage problem in a creative way. It's too bad, though, that the effort was not fruitful.
One online Muslim dating service had a strong presence at ISNA, giving away lipsticks and tote bags at an exhibit hall booth. The company's promotional flyer, with a picture of a happy, young Muslim couple (of non-descript Arab or South Asian ethnicity) was supposed to have been included with the materials each registrant received when they checked in--a spot the company had paid for.But at the last minute, the conference organizers pulled the plug, leaving the flyers to be passed out individually or stacked on tables. The woman in the flyer was not wearing a hijab, and ISNA didn't want to be perceived as endorsing her lack of modesty.

NEI Audacious Goals Initiative…restoring vision through regeneration of the retina
The Audacious Goals Initiative (AGI) for Regenerative Medicine is an effort by the National Eye Institute to push the boundaries of vision science. By facilitating cross-disciplinary research, the AGI is tackling the most devastating and difficult-to-treat eye diseases.
New AGI workshop report: Creating a Cellular Environment for Neuroregeneration (April 6, 2018)
AGI Projects
New awards funded October 2018: Five research teams will develop new models for eye disease research.
AGI Events and Reports
NEI AGI hosted an eventing session at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting. "Bringing regenerative medicine therapies to the clinic," took place Tuesday, May 1, 2018, in Honolulu.
About the Initiative
The NEI AGI is catalyzing research that will enable the restoration of vision through regeneration of the retina. The central goal is to replace cells of the retina that have been damaged by disease or injury and to restore their connections to the visual centers of the brain. Through strategic research funding, the NEI is enlisting dynamic scientists and teams who are developing the necessary knowledge and technology to make the goal a reality. Read more about the AGI.
About the Goal
The NEI audacious goal is to regenerate neurons and neural connections in the eye and visual system. The NEI AGI is targeting the photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells. Photoreceptors—often called rods and cones—are cells in the retina that when stimulated by light generate signals the brain perceives as images. The retinal ganglion cells carry the signals from the photoreceptors to the brain. Read more about the audacious goal.

Picture the Holidays - Day 2
Beginning December in a calm state of mind might seem easy (now). But, the frenzy of the holiday season can get the best of us and sometimes can come on with very little warning. There will be good days and bad but the gist is to look at this holiday season a little differently. This season we aren't only going to 'hope' to enjoy it (amidst the chaos) we will enjoy it! It only takes a little reframing.
As a symbol of looking at things a little differently, today you'll be using a literal frame for your image. You get to decide what goes in your frame today and how you choose to capture it!
This year, we will be missing one very important person at our Christmas celebration - my son Adam who is currently serving in Afghanistan. My mom had her table dressed for a holiday dinner, providing the perfect setting for this shot.
When it comes to reframing the holidays, thinking of all the families that are missing their loved ones who are serving or who died (or are missing) in service to their country can certainly put things in perspective.
When I asked my son what he would like me to send him for Christmas, the only thing he asked for was holiday decorations. Decking the halls takes on new meaning when those halls look like this: (grabbed from my son's facebook page)
Amazon ships directly to APO addresses, so I ordered a few items for his place. I know the farting Christmas ornaments are a little crass, but I knew he'd love them. He did, and was especially thrilled to get the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. (disclaimer: these are affiliate links)
Thanks to friends, and groups like Tennessee Marine Family and AnyMarine.com, he and his brothers will not suffer from lack of Christmas goodies and decor. This is the third Christmas I've spent with one of my children serving in the Middle East. It never gets easier, but I know its much harder on them.
It gets really cold over there, so if you want to go to AnyMarine.com and adopt a Marine, a great idea would be to send him or her some of these hand, body, or foot warmers. (again, these are affiliate links), Amazon makes it really easy with no customs forms to fill out and no trip to the post office (who wants to stand in line at the post office during the holidays?)
When I posted today's image in the Picture the Holidays facebook group, I was overcome with gratitude for the support and comments thanking my son for his service. There is such an awareness and appreciation for our troops in this generation. It is heartwarming and such a difference from what my uncle and others like him experienced with Vietnam.
Another thing that is very different about this war is the advent of youtube and other media outlets that give us a closer look at what combat and conditions are like for our service men and women. I came across this video this morning and it is actual combat footage with my son in the thick of it.
It was hard to watch and you may or may not want to watch it. It does have some "Marine" language. None of our boys were hurt, but it was serious combat. This footage was shot when they established Patrol Base Watson, which was named in honor of LCpl Franklin N. Watson.
It is hard to believe that same little boy who was exclaiming "it's him!" in yesterday's video could possibly be the same one shouting out commands to his men in combat. But, it is and it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Wishing peace for the boys of Alpha Company, 1/6 and their family and loved ones this holiday season. Semper Fi.

Joe Frasier vs. Muhammad Ali
Yankees vs. Red Sox
Edison vs. Tesla (duh, Tesla.)
Deep dish vs. traditional pizza
Notorious B.I.G. vs. Tupac Shakur
This last one is of particular interest to me because it has the potential to open up the door to perhaps the biggest and most heated unsolvable rivalry of them all:
Which coast is the best coast?
(You've probably already yelled your definitive answer at the computer screen.)
But I am here today not to rabidly support a side in the grand argument (East Coast) or begin a long response thread of debate, but to simply present a comparison:
Which coast boasts the better Christmas experience?
|Now, before people get all huffy, let me just state that Biggie only got to be Santa because he looks more like him. And for the record, I think Tupac makes a wonderful elf.
Thus far, I have accumulated 30 Christmases under my loosened holiday belt: 28 in Northern New Jersey and 2 in Southern California. While my favoritism clearly lies with my... spirited... family in the Northeast, I will look at this matter objectively and consider three different criteria: holiday ambiance, the Christmas meal and extracurricular activities.
Just like getting into college.
One thing I will never ever in a million years get used to is this Christmas with palm trees thing. It just doesn't feel like Christmas. Of course it's absolutely gorgeous, but it just completely throws me off to look around and see beautiful tall palms with the sun sparkling off of the Pacific and little dots of surfers sprinkled on top. Bing Crosby never sang about a sunny Christmas, and I'm not really sure if anyone I know wants to have a sandball fight. To me California says "Sweet! I'm on vacation, bro!" not "Hey! Merry Christmas, buddy!"
Bing Crosby aside, the fact that I didn't ever need more than a sweater was pretty awesome. Sunglasses ended up being way more important than multiple layers. In fact, I didn't even bring a coat, which ended up making my trip to the airport in New York in the 6AM darkness pretty frigging frigid. Ah well. I've done stupider things.
|My super awesome Christmas hat I picked up and the necessary sunglasses
And being a huuuge fan of driving with all the car windows down, I was elated that here I didn't have to wait until May to do it.
But the biggest benefit I see to a West Coast Christmas is being able to send nice pictures to your family who is back East battening down the hatches in preparation for 3 feet of snow:
|"We're at the beach and you're not!"
However, the one blaring fact that made me a little depressed out there is that I saw so few houses decorated for Christmas. Too cool for Christmas lights? Too busy surfing to hang a wreath? With my family, every Christmas we take a drive around the area in a little outing we like to call "Gaudy House Hunting".
|I'd say... a 7 out of 10.
Armed with a camera and plenty of coffee, we drive around until we get our fill of tack and plastic Santas. Luckily, in North Jersey there is no shortage of these houses (only electrical outlets), and the tour always ends with the grand finale: a trip to the Elvis impersonator's house, who happens to have quite the knack for Christmas decorating.
|Truly The King
|Too big for the blog! A panorama of the backyard, complete with huge pond
Clearly, I have high expectations when it comes to outward Christmas displays. But alas, in SoCal, the number of darkened houses far outnumbered those with jubilant Christmas spirit (and high electrical bills). On Christmas Eve, just when I thought all hope was lost, I mentioned my utter disappointment in California's decorations to Jon. We were leaving his aunt's house in Pasadena to drive down to his mom and her husband's house in San Diego.
"I never brought you to Christmas Tree Lane?" I perked up a bit. This sounded promising.
We took a small detour and ended up on a street where all of the tall pines lining the road were adorned in bright colored lights, creating a vibrant tunnel of Christmas-y-ness.
And I was happy. Now it felt like Christmas.
|(photo by Michael Lynch)
So California sure scared me a bit there with it's surprising lack of flamboyance (although extra points are awarded to Jon's sister Devon's peculiar neighbor, whose house probably looks like that all year).
For complete over the top extravagance, a disregard for style and a big loud "up yours" if you don't like it, ambiance point: East Coast
However, to the state's merit, what it lacked in ambiance, it sure made up for in tasty things... tasty Mexican things to be exact.
|La Estrella. Best. Fish. Tacos. EVER.
|My Taco. Chile rellenos goodness
And speaking of good food, on Christmas Day, Jon and I set out to recreate the Robert Palmer turkey we made on Thanksgiving for dinner that evening.
As I stood in the kitchen preparing to cook, I looked out the kitchen windows and something told me this would be a bit different than my usual family holidays.
|The view from the kitchen
Although both kitchens had sneaky pets patiently lurking around every corner, there was no real chaos.
|Cali stealing all the butter wrappers
My dad wasn't up to his usual shenanigans, like "washing the dishes".
My mom wasn't freaking out about something, like a harmless little fire.
|Mandatory open flame, Christmas 2010, Bourbon gravy
And there definitely were a lot less tequila shots. Only one to be exact, in honor of the Danna family craziness Jon and I knew we were missing.
|A Christmas toast across the country
The jet lag definitely did not make cooking any easier, and neither did the turkey that was mysteriously done 2 hours early, but we turned out a great holiday feast.
|The Robert Palmer turkey with gravy, stuffing, cherry pomegranate compote, mashed potatoes (not low-fat), string beans with buerre blanc sauce, sauteed brussel sprouts with rosemary and bacon, macaroni and cheese and citrus glazed carrots.
|Once again showing my expertise in plate clearing
|Jon's mom giving me some competition
|Wine. Lots of wine
|There it is!
|The carnage. Merry Christmas!
And even better than the actual Christmas meal? The leftovers! Forget those towering Thanksgiving paninis! Ladies and gents, shuffle your stomach, notch another hole in your belt and make room for leftover turkey pot pie!
|Best compliment ever
You know I love a good Italian Christmas feast topped with family insanity, but because of the best leftovers meal ever with the added bonus of tacos – which I can't get home, food point: West Coast.
We all know that meals end. Bottles of wine run dry (although hopefully not). And now all that's left is spending some special leisurely time with the family.
Gathered around a fire in the living room perhaps, singing some Christmas carols.
|We do our caroling before Christmas, in front of my mom's 4th grade class. Here, a rendition of "Dominick the Christmas Donkey", hence the fedoras
Or maybe taking a nice family photo to frame and remember the occasion.
|It took grandma 6 hours to get back up and me 3 years to recover from shock
|At least he's wearing a tie
Or possibly... a choreographed routine to pass the time?
|Spontaneous dance numbers are know to happen on occasion. Christmas Eve, 2006
You see, back East in snowy North Jersey, our Christmas holiday lasts for forty-eight straight hours, because Italians celebrate both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (I think it's just another excuse to eat extravagantly).
Twice the family!
Twice the food!
And twice the shenanigans!
That's right. I said times two.
Only so much time can be spent shoulder to shoulder around the dining room table feasting, so over the years, probably influenced by those large jugs of Carlo Rossi Chianti, we have found various unique ways of entertaining ourselves.
I know this seems somewhat strange and possibly scary to some of you out there. But to me, strange is being somewhere else on a holiday where the family never bursts out into fits of laughter, only one person talks at a time – with an appropriate inside volume – and there is never ever any swearing. Where's the spontaneous guitar singalongs? No costumes? AND WHY ARE THERE NO TEQUILA SHOTS?
I have a hard time feeling comfortable amidst a mild mannered family and it can be a big source of anxiety for me. I just don't know how to act. Lucky for this gal, Jon's family is not one of those. He wasn't lying the first time I took him to meet my family (and surprise! The WHOLE family happened to be there) and he just calmly said "Don't worry, I'm used to it." and poured himself a big glass of wine, turned to my uncle who was displaying his new handgun collection and jumped right into the conversation.
So I am quite comfy in SoCal. In fact, on Christmas Jon's family actually inspired me with a fantastic new after dinner activity:
a family game of JUST DANCE on Wii! Seriously! Nothing aids food along the digestive track quite like pretending you can dance like Tina Turner.
The game lasted well into the night and my gut hurt not only from the eating and the dancing, but from the amount of laughing I did.
The next morning, after dealing with my sore Wii arm and tweaked neck (apparently, I cannot move like Beyoncé) I immedately texted my sister and demanded she go out in the snowstorm and buy the game for my family.
A completely valiant effort by team West Coast – I am totally comfortable with Jon's family – sharing jokes, wisecracks, perhaps a few tears when I opened up a present (that just happened to be a sweet pasta attachment for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer... which meant I was getting a Kitchen Aid stand mixer from Jon when we got back to Jersey), but for consistency of entertainment value and uninhibited cheery chaos, extracurricular point; East Coast.
Well folks, it looks like we may have the concl– wait a minute... this just in...
Mandatory extra credit point for Jon shimmying in his Christmas sweater.
... let the battle rage on!

Canine safety tips for this Easter
1. Chocolate can be toxic in large amounts - especially the baking chocolate. Even small amounts can cause nausea and vomiting in some dogs.
2. Another dangerous item in the Easter basket is the plastic grass. The grass is not digestible and can cause a gastrointestinal "obstruction" that can be life-threatening.

A Reddit post from last week has sparked a discussion regarding iPhone performance as a function of battery age. While we expect battery capacity to decrease as batteries age, we expect processor performance to stay the same. However, users with older iPhones with lower-than-expected Geekbench 4 scores have reported that replacing the battery increases their score (as well as the performance of the phone). What's going on here? How many phones are experiencing decreased Geekbench 4 score?
To answer these questions I've plotted the kernel density of Geekbench 4 single-core scores for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 running different versions of iOS. Scores obtained in low-power mode are not included in the distribution.
Evidence seems to be mounting that Apple is decreasing the clock speed of iPhones with decreased battery capacity to maintain the advertised battery life.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
The artificially created slowdowns experienced by some users (but not all users) are considerable. Looking at the distribution as opposed to a simple average shows this clearly and I applaud geekbench for doing that. The lack of a distribution in futuremark's data turned out to be very misleading. All the while the media was denying any problems at all. Seriously though, listen to how condescending some articles were to users experiencing these issues.
In reality, it's a psychological phenomenon. We see a new iPhone, with significantly faster hardware and new features, and our existing device suddenly feels slow. But performance is just as good as it was before Apple pushed out any updates.
"Our benchmarking data shows that, rather than intentionally degrading the performance of older models, Apple actually does a good job of supporting its older devices with regular updates that maintain a consistent level of performance across iOS versions," Futuremark concludes.
It's true that performance could be impacted by new features that require more processing power. And new apps that are optimized for the latest hardware may not perform so well on older devices.
But the notion that Apple purposely slows down older devices with iOS updates is complete trash. Don't believe the myth.
Gosh, it just goes to show that sometimes you can trust your own eyes; reports that apple did not purposefully slow down older devices with ios updates are complete trash.

|Lovely hot chocolate at Angelina's
So we got a cheap deal to go Paris for the weekend. The Boyfriend's brother lives in Paris and he knows his way around quite well. So we walked from the Latin Quarter over Ile-de-France, to the Marais, then the Tuileries Gardens and then Luxembourg Gardens.
It was 22 degrees under a cloudless sky. City flowers everywhere. Lots of lovely things to eat (including tasty authentic Moroccan food with friendly service near Place des Gobelin). Things to make you look everywhere. Insanely delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream at Angelina's.
|The Patheon
|Little park by Rue de Parve in La Marais
|Goats cheese salad for a yummy lunch
|Salted caramel and hazelnut
ice cream on Ile de France
|Paris flowers
|Love locks on Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor
|Jardin du Luxembourg
|Graffiti in the Marais
On Sunday morning we ate waffles and fruit at my brother-in-law (to be's...) place before catching the Eurostar. Vive la France!

Letter to the Editor: Keep Cats Inside for their Safety
Top 10 Reasons to Keep Your Cat Indoors
1. There is a significant chance that your cat may be run over by a car.
2. Predators (dog, raccoons, coyotes, other cats, birds of prey) may harm cats.
3. Not all humans have the best intentions and may be cruel to your cat.
4. Cats can be exposed to diseases like leukemia, feline aids, and rabies.
5. An unspayed cat can have 2-3 litters a year and over 100 kittens in her lifetime, thus exacerbating the overpopulation issue.
6. Even with proper identification, your cat may wander off or go missing.
7. Cats have a predatory nature and can kill wildlife.
8. Cats may carry the T. gondii parasite leading to Toxoplasmosis and are responsible for other public health concerns.
9. In the City of Virginia Beach it is not legal to allow your cat to roam at large.
10. Outdoor cats have shorter lives. According to vetinfo.com, the average life expectancy of indoor cats is between twelve and fifteen years. A cat that lives predominantly indoors but spends time outdoors may live on average two to three fewer years than a cat that lives exclusively indoors. Outdoor stray and feral cats live significantly shorter lives. On average, a stray cat lives five years in a community of cats and two to three years if alone.

A health inspector finds murder in an over-the-top concept restaurant.
Who says vegetarians don't really like food? Texas vegan Poppy Markham has built her life around edibles. As the daughter of Mitch Markham, owner of Markham's Grille & Cocktails, she earned her chops as head chef. But after a fellow employee set her bedroom on fire (If You Can't Stand the Heat, 2011), Poppy traded her toque for a job with the food police, issuing permits for the myriad eateries dotting Austin's culinary scene. The very latest food venture, she discovers, is being built by two of Poppy's high school classmates, ex-football stars Troy and Todd Sharpe. The jocks have a bizarre twist: offer guests a choice of the last meals enjoyed by a variety of criminals shortly before their executions. But their grisly plan takes an even more grisly turn when Poppy checks out their three-part sink and finds Troy dangling from the second-floor catwalk. Investigating Troy's death is just the break Poppy needs from trying to patch things up with food critic Jamie Sherwood, who sent their relationship into a nose dive by sleeping with another woman. She also has to mull the return of her ex-fiance, Drew Cooper, who abruptly disappeared into the blue yonder years back, obliging her to fall in love with perfidious Jamie. Now that Mitch has hired Drew as general manager at Markham's, where Poppy's temperamental stepsister Ursula has her eyes all over him, the need to keep a delicate balance between two gorgeous but unreliable guys makes solving a murder look as easy to Poppy as inspecting a hot dog stand.
Murder is definitely at the back of the house in Poppy's second case, with jousting between exes firmly planted in the front.

Two wells that were once among the best producers in Hampstead's public water system remain in a kind of quarantine -- sealed off from the rest of the supply because of the threat of contamination by solvents from the nearby Black & Decker Corp. plant.
Town officials believe that their wells could be safe from the contaminants. But this month the company turned down the town's request for help in proving the water's safety. A Black & Decker official said the company is concerned that pumping from the wells could cause known contamination to move, thwarting a state-ordered cleanup the company is carrying out.
While testing for contamination from a gasoline station in 1985, Black & Decker discovered that wells on its site were contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene (PCE), cleaning solvents and metal degreasers that Black & Decker stored in above-ground tanks on the site.

Home to Bradlees (originally J.M. Fields) and the Montgomery Wards Outlet Center. All the mall occupants had moved out by the time Wards declared bankruptcy in early 2001. The mall was even closed off to mall walkers. Upon Wards vacancy, Tower Mall was demolished to make way for "Victory Crossing", which is a Big Box shopping center with Lowe's, Dollar Tree, Kroger (I believe), Ruby Tuesdays, a video rental place, etc.

The Homeland Security Department is planning an industry day Feb. 28 in Washington that explore priorities in five mission areas.

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
To kick off the new Warcraft games forum, what do people think the next Warcraft universe game will be (not including WoW expansions), and when? For example, Warcraft 4 (an RTS), World of Warcraft II, or perhaps something completely different? Kirkburn talk contr 15:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- What would WoW 2 be really? I can see more expansions, but I can't really imagine a "WoW 2" (besides the fact that the game client is already version 3.1.1). With that in mind, probably an RTS. --Pcj (T•C) 15:34, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- So not a Warcraft platformer then? With Varian Wrynn heroically fighting his way through arena fights, across Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms and finally ending up in Northrend? ;) I agree though, WoW 2 would have to be a long way off, once WoW original has really reached the end of it's life. It could be set in a different time period, of course. Kirkburn talk contr 15:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- It could be nice to have Warcraft: Origins. I started creating a W3 mod with that name, but didn't finish it. I would like to play the past of Warcraft without weird time travel.
- The 4 campaigns I was going to make where:
- -The war between troll and Aqir
- -The War of the Ancients
- -The War of the Shifting Sands
- -The attacks from Neptulon to the Gurubashi Empire
- And we have a lot more, like the War of the Three Hammers, The Slaughter of the Draenei, The Ordering of Azeroth, the War of the Spider... and some other late battles that take place during WoW.
- Aside from that, I would love to have an in-game 3d tactic map, to play high scale battles around the entire world. In-game is in-game, not a damn menu, so you can make your own tactic map.
- The Return of Warcraft Adventures. DO IT! Mantriox/T/C 21:07, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- There is so much present-time lore that it really needs an RTS game to be unleashed. Now, to the facts:
- There is a new Blizzard game in production that is likely to be an RTS - the job openings require people who can program AI which creates strategies and manages resourses.
- In the epilogue of the novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, Ner'zhul shows Arthas visions that seem to be of the future and are surely to be explored by some kind of Warcraft media - for example a vision in which an ocean city rises from the depths and onto the surface, visions of the Emerald Nightmare and Malfurion and some other interestin visions. It would be great to have any of these in a Warcraft IV. And, you know, no matter how great is World of Warcraft, true lore heroes are born in the Warcraft strategies.Dakovski (talk) 05:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- There is so much present-time lore that it really needs an RTS game to be unleashed. Now, to the facts:
For a long time I've wanted a Warcraft fighting game. There are so many interesting lore characters, and I would just love to have them fight each other, SSB-style. I think I'll post some of my ideas here. Xavius, the Satyr Lord 07:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I really like the Origins idea, would be an awesome way to relive some of Azeroth's most epic battles from a game point of view. I would still prefer Warcraft IV though, I enjoy the storylines the most, and "character goes crazy, kill them" is getting rather tiresome. Leave the big fights to the major lore characters, we have no place in thier activities.... Max Krist (talk) 08:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think I read that Blizzard had an idea of doing a Warcraft IV (RTS) in the same format as Starcraft II or something. They said it would be something like a core story with two expansions. Rolandius (talk - contr) 02:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- If that is true, then I will be a very happy satyr. You remember where it was you read it? Xavius, the Satyr Lord 07:54, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think Warcraft IV talks about it being mentioned at BlizzCon. Rolandius (talk - contr) 09:29, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Oh i so hope Blizz leaves the money making machine which is WoW and returns to a good old story based RTS... Come to me Warcraft IV! i am waiting! Max Krist (talk) 12:34, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, about the World of Warcraft 2, they don't have plans. Frank Pearce said that WoW 2 is "not gonna happen", he says, "until Blizzard needs a whole new framework, and that's not going to happen for a long time".[1] About the Warcraft IV that would be cool. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 18:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I wonder what the average age is of an MMO/MMORPG before they need to come out with a "Part 2"? WoW came out in November 23, 2004, BC came out in January 16, 2007, and WotLK came out in November 13, 2008 — so it is about 4 1/2 years old now. On a side note, going by the average of how long it took for both expansions to come out, the "third" expansion should come out 24 months after WotLK was released — which would be around November of 2010. :) Rolandius (talk - contr) 05:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting thoughts Rolandius, personaly i don't see a need to make a WoW 2, nothing wrong with the current one, only instance where i think they would do it is if they were to make flying mounts usuable in ALL of Azeroth, though that would still be better as an expansion... lol knowing Blizz, the next expansion on't be out till late 2011 at a guess. Max Krist (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- They should polish up WoW. There are a lot blank spaces lore-wise, and a lot of things with huge potential that were utterly ignored. Once they quit making expansions, they should start remaking the game slowly, by adding new stuff that should improve the existing content without retconing it.
Another cool think could be a new expansion for Warcraft III, but thats very unlikely to happen. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 02:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Another interesting idea is to remake past Warcraft games into a World of Warcraft style. Imagine if Blizzard did everything from Warcraft 3 into a format just like Quest:The Hunter and the Prince. Imagine controlling Grommash in a fight with Mannoroth or Arthas fighting Uther/Antonidas/Anasterian. The individual levels from Warcraft 3 could be replayed with a phasing system similar to what is currently in WoW. Twilight of the Gods was redone as the Battle for Mount Hyjal raid so why can't everything else be done that way.AhotahThunderhorn (talk) 02:56, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Q: I'm controlling the BLE motor speed by varying an external analog voltage signal supplied to its driver. I'm using 0-10 VDC, but when I run at 10 VDC the external voltage read out from the MEXE02 software only goes up to 5 V. I already set SW2-2 to the off position according to the manual page 41. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
A: The MEXE02 software actually reads both 10 VDC and 5 VDC as 5 VDC. A recommended test is to run the motor at 5 VDC. We know what the max RPM should be at the motor. If the 0-10 VDC analog parameter is set correctly to 0-10 VDC instead of 0-5 VDC, then the motor should run at half speed which is 2000 RPM at the motor. If the 0-10 VDC analog parameter is set incorrectly to 0-5 VDC instead of 0-10 VDC that you want, then the motor should run at full speed which is 4000 RPM at the motor. The software is only reading out half the voltage but the driver is reading the 0-10 VDC correctly.
To access the analog input voltage reading/monitor, please click on REMOTE OPERATION within the MEXE02 software, then check the check box to start monitoring.
BLE: incorrect analog input voltage reading on MEXE02*

This is very disturbing news given the fact that the majority of residents support the designation and that the EPA is supposed to be above politics.
Don't public health and safety count for anything in the mind of this mayor?
CORD has also received permission from Katia at the PMFA blog to reprint the following:
From http://pardonmeforasking.blogspot.com/2009/09/local-resident-writes-to-epa.html:
"Carroll Gardener Jean (Kitty) Farson did just that, and sent me her own letter to Lisa Jackson. With her permission,I am reprinting it below." PMFA
Dear Administrator Jackson,I recently found out that the EPA has not listed the Gowanus Canal on the list of Superfund Sites. I am so very disappointed, as I am a strong supporter of the canal being listed as a Superfund Site.I am a long time resident of Carroll Gardens (back when no one would even walk on Smith Street much less sit at an outdoor café and eat) and a home owner.Until now, I strongly felt that the canal needed to be cleaned up under the Federal government based on quality of life and health of current and future residents. We have an extremely large influx of young families with small children in the last few years.But I want to share a personal moment with you. I have attached a picture of my dogs, Yankee, the fawn male in the foreground, a beautiful Bullmastif/Pitbull mix we rescued after his owner was killed in the WTC on 9/11. He recently passed away from cancer, Lymphosarcome.I walked Yankee every night down along Bond Street and sometimes down to the canal itself, as it was a favorite spot of his. I do not have scientific facts and figures citing any relationship between Lymphosarcoma and all the toxins in the canal and I am not suggesting there is even a connection.I do wonder what will happen to our air quality and our overall quality of life if you allow the politicans to oversee the cleanup of the canal via unscruplous and out of state developers rather than allow the professional Environnemental Protection Agency team clean up the canal. I have even bigger concerns about how the contaminated soil will be hauled out of the site once the excavation is started. Will they simply drive it out in contaminated dump trucks or will there be some agency (ie EPA) to oversee that trucks are hosed down and clean before they drive up my block?My neighborhood is very, very much in support of Superfunding the canal. I can only speak for myself, but I think Mayor Bloomberg and Caswell Holloway are very out of touch when it comes to our middle class Brownstone neighborhood and what is best for the future of the Gowanus Canal.Respectfully submitted,Jean Farson

Consuming the DarknessBook 7
needs your heart to live. In Jacob's Cove, where death is as common as
apple pie, a serial murderer is a first.
Lieutenant Sienna Storm, the town's newly minted
homicide detective, is eager to prove she's up
to the job of tracking down the demon who rips
out his victims' still-beating hearts. Even if
it means using her innate ability to connect
with him through his blood. Detective Nathan Powers lost his partner to the
aptly named Heartless Killer, and the trail of
bodies leads him straight to Jacob's Cove.
However, this is no typical small town. It's a
strange world populated with bloodthirsty demons
and run by a vampire. Still, the leggy blonde
Sienna is a pleasant distraction. Until he
discovers she's after the same killer—and she's
not sharing.Minds clash as the hunt intensifies, but the
more they run into each other, the harder it is
to stay apart. Together they discover not only
clues, but a searing need that rises higher by
the day.That need may be their downfall when Nathan
becomes the killer's next target, and Sienna
must risk everything to get him back.
"Behind you! Get down."
The gun came up in his hand, aimed at her head.
She felt the presence of the vampire as he
jumped out from behind the dumpster. As she spun
around to take him down, the gun fired, hitting
the vamp in the right shoulder. He jerked back,
screeching like a banshee."What the hell are you doing?" she yelled at the
man with the gun as she ran to the vamp. "Daisy,
stay!" Daisy sat as she'd been instructed while
Sienna knelt down beside the screaming vamp. She
pressed her knee to the vamp's bleeding shoulder
to ensure that he wouldn't move. "You are under
arrest for breaking the laws of human and
vampire and will be detained in the local jail
while awaiting trial.""You're a cop?" the guy behind her responded.
"Yeah, I'm a cop. Oh, stop your screaming
already," she yelled at the vamp, then flipped
him onto his belly and pulled his arms to his
back, pinning them in one hand while she
searched for her handcuffs. "Damn it, why don't
I have my cuffs on me. Wanna tell me why you
were about to attack me?""I wasn't…honest…I was only…out for a walk.
Yeah, I was walking. I'm going to sue the cops
for harassment. I was minding my own. Fuck, my
shoulder is killing me. Police brutality!"
"Shut the hell up. No one gives a damn."
"Here."Sienna glanced up to see a set of shiny silver
handcuffs dangling down before her. Glancing up,
she took a moment to survey the gentleman and
noticed he wasn't bad on the eyes. His dark
brown hair was messed up but somehow looked
natural. And wow! The guy had a hell of a body.
Broad shoulders, wide chest, and narrow waist.
His face was pretty decent to look at, even with
that thin line of hair over his upper lip that
ran down the sides of his mouth to cover his
chin. He had nice eyes, dark, round, with long
lashes. "I'd prefer a regulation set rather than
your bondage toys.""These are regulation. I'm a detective. Nathan
Powers," he introduced in a deep, throaty voice
that sounded as if he'd had one too many
cigarettes.The vamp squirming beneath her, she took the
cuffs. Before slapping them on the vamp's wrists
she made sure they were regulation. Flipping him
onto his back, Sienna pinned him with her knee
as she had before. "Don't try anything stupid."
"Bitch!" the vamp spat."What the hell's with the yellow contacts and
fake fangs?"Sienna glanced over her shoulder as she
responded to the detective. "What? You've never
seen a vampire before?""A what?""A vampire."
"I heard you. I thought I'd seen it all, but I
guess not. Now we've got junkies playing
vampire," The detective chuckled with a shake of
his head.One look at the guy told her he was serious. "Oh
jeez, he's a virgin." She rolled her eyes. "I
told you to shut up." She yanked the screaming
vamp to his feet. "This is a vampire, not a
fake, the real deal and if you plan on being in
Jacob's Cove for any amount of time you might
want to be on the lookout for them. Some of them
refuse to abide by the new laws. Isn't that
right, screamer?""Seriously though, he's a vampire like the
blood-sucking kind?""Don't know any other kind."
"Shouldn't you like…you know, jam a wooden stake
through his heart? I can't believe I just said
that." He laughed boldly.Was he for real?
She didn't care for the sarcasm in his voice.
"Neither can I. We prefer to rehabilitate them
rather than turning them to dust." Holding the
vamp in one hand, she pulled her cell phone out
with the other and dialed the station.
"Lieutenant Storm here. I have a rogue vamp I
need brought in.""I wasn't doing anything, you stupid bitch."
She clamped onto the squirming vamp a little
tighter as she gave her location. She slipped
her phone back into her shirt pocket when she
was through and gave the vamp a hard shove
against the dumpster. "Right, you were only
skulking in the dark because you needed a smoke,
right?""It's a free world last time I looked."
"Sure, except when you're attempting to drink
someone dry. Save it for the judge; I'm done
listening.""You can't prove anything. I'm innocent."
"Do you know what I am?" she asked as she leaned
in real close. "I'm a Tejakkan which means I
have precog abilities. I saw you moments before
you jumped out and I saw just what you'd planned
to do so save your 'I'm innocent' act for
someone who gives a damn.""Bitch!"
"That's right and remember it."

The U.S. Supreme Court, in Riley v. California, ruled that the police must first obtain a warrant before searching a mobile phone seized during the arrest of a suspect. The court left open the possibility that the police might lawfully examine the data on a phone in an emergency situation on a case-by-case basis (exigent circumstances exception to the warrant requirement). The decision left unresolved the legality of the police use of technology such as "Stringray," that allows the police to intercept cell phone signals by masquerading as a cell phone tower — an International Mobile Subscriber Identity locator, or "IMSI catcher." A Wall Street Journal article has an explanation of the device.

In its first suggestion that the marketing of freelance writers' magazine articles on full-text electronic databases involves issues of creators' rights, the corporate parent of Information Access Company (IAC) has acknowledged that it can track and account for the resale of works listed on its databases.
The statement -- by the supplier of fee-based article delivery services at CompuServe, Dialog, Dow Jones News Retrieval and many other online sites -- came in a February 2 [1995] letter by Jerrell W. Shelton, president and chief executive officer of Thomson Business Information, to Jonathan Tasini, president of the National Writers Union (NWU). The Thomson Corporation, based in Canada, recently purchased IAC from Ziff Communications for $465 million. A demand by nearly 100 writers for an accounting of the electronic resale of their magazine articles on IAC databases is part of "Operation Magazine Index," a project of the NWU Journalism Campaign that was launched last fall and highlighted in a New York Times op-ed page essay by bestselling author Nicholson Baker.
In his letter to Tasini, Shelton wrote that "if your members have an issue regarding redistribution of materials created by them, they should contact their publishers directly. We remain prepared to support our providers with whatever information we can (including transaction-based data) in order for them to abide by their financial obligations to their authors."
IAC thus became the second major database operator to confirm the feasibility of transaction-based accounting. The CARL Corporation has already initiated discussions with the NWU for a creators' royalty system at UnCover, a database of articles from thousands of popular magazines and academic journals.
"The implications of the IAC/Thomson letter are clear," said NWU assistant director Irvin Muchnick. "It's been obvious for some time that corporations with the ability to bill an individual home computer user for downloading an article also have the ability to determine how many times each article is ordered and to ensure that a fair share of the profits goes back to the writer. IAC has simply confirmed what CARL told us -- though, unlike CARL, IAC has so far not taken the constructive next step of sitting down with us to design a sensible system that acknowledges the interests of all parties, including creators and consumers, in the new electronic networks."
Muchnick said the NWU would continue to press for a dialogue with IAC/Thomson. "In the meantime, we advise writers to take this information back to the publishers with which IAC claims to have licensing agreements. Freelance writers routinely grant only First North American Print Rights to their original publishers, so any such licensing agreements that do not seek their permission are illegitimate. And now we have also verified that the compensation question can be addressed by the same technology that makes the creation of this new marketplace possible in the first place."
NWU president Tasini is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against a group of major publishers and database operators, including the New York Times Company and Mead Data Central, the operator of Lexis/Nexis. That case, involving similar claims of illegal redistribution of freelancers' works on databases without their permission and without their being compensated, is expected to go to trial later this year in federal court in New York.
The NWU, an affiliate of the United Auto Workers, represents 4,000 freelance writers in all genres. For more information about "Operation Magazine Index," send an e-mail message.

3 Marketing Automation challenges of 2017
Each year brings marketing directors new challenges. In 2017 they should specifically focus on three key trends that may accelerate the development of their business.
Consistent experience across channels
Organizations want to offer their customers more. They want to enhance customer experience, build customer loyalty, and they would go to great lengths to distinguish themselves from their competitors. Today "omnichannel experience" is among the most important topics discussed at marketing conferences all over the world.
According to statistical data, communication habits are shifting before our very eyes, customers tend to be using more diversified tools than ever before, and the number of communication channels is incessantly growing:
- the majority of searches are performed on smartphones rather than on computers;
- as many as 10 out of 20 most popular mobile apps in Poland are in fact, communication tools – YouTube, FB Messenger, Facebook, Gmail, Google+, WhatsApp, Instagram, Skype, Snapchat, Hangouts;
- the number of people using mobile access to social services in Poland grew by 20% last year (according to: We Are Social).
Thus, delivery of the right message to the right person at the right time and via the right channel is becoming a true challenge in our rapidly transforming reality.
Companies that are able to communicate coherently across a number of channels are highly successful. Analyses show that because of brand loyalty, their customers spent an average of 4% to 10% more than single-channel customers.
Implementing a truly consistent customer experience may be quite easy if you dispose of the required knowledge and the appropriate tools. Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows integration of email, social, web and mobile channels to make users feel exceptional and individually attended to.
Big Data and personalization
Coherent communication across many channels is a great achievement, but it is not enough. The real challenge that each marketer needs to face up to today is to use all communication channels for the purpose of preparing so personalized an offer that it truly engages the customer.
The first step to accomplish this would be to do away with the silos and establish one centre of knowledge combining data derived from various channels and providing a complete picture of the customer. Like any other change, transformation attempts in this sphere may meet with resistance. Thus, the relevant decision must be taken at the top managerial level of the organization, and it needs to be fully backed by the entire C-suite.
A good solution is to introduce a high-quality CRM platform which allows data management and integrates easily with other tools, such as Marketing Automation systems.
Nonetheless, to leave all your competitors behind, you should seek to utilize Big Data engines that make it possible to analyze vast quantities of data (both online and offline), process them in real time, and develop recommendations on this basis. With such solutions, your organization will be able to provide personalized offers to hundreds of thousands of customers – the method is successfully used by Amazon in the U.S. and locally, by Polish services such as Allegro and Pracuj.pl.
Salesforce Einstein, an artificial intelligence (A.I.) tool available to everybody, is among the latest developments in the field. To explain the underlying idea in simple terms: it is as if you had the smartest scientist on your team and could ask them to analyse data, formulate conclusions, prepare a result forecast, and even give recommendations as to the next steps. Einstein is so versatile that it can provide assistance to a sales department, a customer support centre, e-commerce, marketing and other functions.
Competence development
Every tool is as good as the people who use it. Even if your company is equipped with the best Marketing Automation system available, it still needs people who will be able to utilize the system's potential to the full.
Unfortunately, Polish Marketing Automation specialists are in short supply. In this situation, one of two alternative strategies may be followed.
The first one is to recruit new people and train them. Usually, enacting this strategy requires establishing a team that will design communication and content, that will need to become adept at copywriting, email coding, database management and analytics. It is a great solution for large enterprises with complex tactics and extensive activities.
The other strategy focuses around outsourcing selected processes to contractors that know how to design and prepare professional e-mails which can be viewed using various e-mail apps, both on smartphones and on computers. Such third party contractors also provide advisory services, for instance in respect of designing effective methods of obtaining leads. Deloitte Digital, a company that combines the competency of a consulting firm, Digital One interactive agency, Stratosfera, Salesforce and uselab, is among the providers of such services.

The Romance Psychic is Andrew
I actually saw him written about here before and although I was not a member of keen at that time I went ahead and joined just so that I could speak with this amazing psychic. His keen name is psychicandrew but from what I see on the web most refer to him as a romance psychic or to be more accurate The Romance Psychic and well he is.
I speak to him every week and he has helped me rope in my guy. I like his very straightforward approach but he is very clear and detailed. I don't mention very much when I call because other psychics use that to read me but Andrew just knows. He remembers me immediately and tells me whats going on before I can even say a word.
I guess I am a bit of a psychic junkie and still call a few but mostly I call this man because he really helps.
I had a huge fight with my guy and weeks went by without him calling. I called Andrew and he told me a few things and ended the call by telling me that unless I called my guy, unless I reached out to him now and stopped being stubborn that Andrew wouldn't even read for me. Wow refreshing to say the least.
I broke down and called my guy even though other psychic told me I should wait for him to call, well to make a long story Short we are now back together doing great. If I would have waited for my guy to call me I would still be waiting. I cant recommend Andrew enough if your looking for the truth, and solutions to your relationship problems.
He read on keen but you can get to his listing on keen by his website psychicandrew.com but you need to be a member of keen. I noticed a banner on this site to join so you should do that first.
Thank you psychic junkie for leading me to that perfect psychic who is real.

Adur Voluntary Action (AVA) thanks the Shoreham Herald for their balanced, accurate and well-written report about a complex issue ('Charity facing uphill survival battle', January 14).
Your report will arouse deep concerns among people who have benefited from, or contributed to, these two charities' community activities over more than 80 combined years.
Their contributions to community and personal well being are often discreet, untrumpeted by the fashionable fanfares of publicity accompanying modern marketing. Voluntary Action Worthing and Adur Voluntary Action have focussed upon doing, rather than shouting.
Volunteers and paid staff enter charity work not to engage in a welter of competition with colleagues in their own and adjacent areas, but to express an ethos of intelligent, sensible co-operation.
The tendering process embarked upon by Adur and Worthing councils, awarded shaky proxy support by West Sussex County Council, is anything but this. It imposes a competitive culture spuriously legitimated by appeals to "best value" or "efficient use of public funds", with the ghosts of some long-dead economists factored in for good measure.
AVA challenges these local authorities to prove that allocation of their funding to support voluntary action and personal volunteering to an organisation not part of the Adur community represents a planned, long term investment in our community wellbeing.
Adur Voluntary Action is a part of our community, owned and controlled by people with good local knowledge, here for the long haul, directly accountable and speaking up for residents and groups. It will remain so regardless of the short-term vagaries of public sector funding, or any other state policies.
That's what civil society is all about. Is it not sad that our local elected representatives, good people many, whom we know and respect, appear not to have taken the time to look sufficiently deeply to have grasped what is taking place behind many of their backs?
Or maybe this a carpet beneath which they have been warned firmly (but of course, perfectly legally) not to peer?
AVA is sure that Shoreham Herald's Readers' Letters column is open to receive readers' views.
Also, people can post on Adur Voluntary Action's Facebook Page, or use Twitter @AdurVA. It is of course open to all local ratepayers to write to their Adur District and West Sussex Councillors (contact details available from AVA offices).
People might also contact the Chief Executive of Adur and Worthing Councils, the Leader of West Sussex County Council, Leaders of Adur and Worthing Councils, or our MPs Tim Loughton and Sir Peter Bottomley.

Cousin Pat's Pub and Grill is new to Estes Park this year and owner Patrick Beard said it will feel like a local's neighborhood bar while also catering to visitors.
Before taking the business over in December 2016 Beard was a bar and restaurant owner and wholesale liquor distributor in Colorado Springs, but move to Estes Park for work four years ago.
The pub is located at 451 S. Saint Vrain Ave. where Cables Pub and Grill used to be and will have the "best happy hour in town," Beard said, along with Wing Wednesdays and Fish and Chips Fridays.
Beard said he got into the restaurant business to serve the community and make people happy.
"I hope the business grows and we can serve the community for many years to come," Beard said.

The European Consumer Rights Directive determines that a consumer of a service has a right to withdraw within 14 working days without any consequences. A consumer is any person acting for purposes that are outside his trade business, craft or profession. This is however not applicable to this situation as article 16 (m) Consumer Rights Directive determines that no such rights exist for the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and his acknowledgment that he thereby loses his right of withdrawal. This acknowledgement is achieved by agreeing on this General User Agreement.
We conclude by stating very clearly that no right to withdraw is applicable regarding to the Labelcrush services as this falls under the prescribed exceptions (article 16 (m)) of the Consumer Rights Directive. The only possibility of a refund exists in the making of a well-founded complaint.

|DATELINE: UPTOWN - I almost hate to share this with you, but I think it's important and I want you all to be careful. Tonight around 0430 I was dropping off Moon at her apartment after the after party, when I noticed a man coming up on us pretty quickly on foot from behind. He ended up at my driver's side window asking me to roll it down. I asked him what for thinking he wanted money or something, and he said he wanted to kill us. I was really pretty much in disbelief and wanted to learn more, but Moon pretty wisely told me I should drive off immediately and not engage him further. He didn't show any weapons but he was attempting to remove his hoodie (although I have no idea for what purpose) but rather than see if he wanted to try to throw hands and break all my windows, I did drive off after telling him "well, you have a good night now." We did a long lap around Lyndale and I dropped her off at the back door of her building where she entered without incident. I was never in fear for us - whether that was just me being old and stupid or sane and rational, I'm not totally sure. I'm really glad I told Moon to hang on and not leave the car while we waited to see what was up, though. It's just not something you expect that time of night. I guess I should add that he was young and white, if you care about that. I probably also should have taken a photo of him but again, we weren't really prepared for that to happen. Just...I have a few friends in that hood and you don't need ME to say "stay vigilant" but it would kill me if anything happened to you. Love you guys. Good night.
