ANNAPOLIS — A Montgomery County family was inducted into the Governor's Agriculture Hall of Fame Feb. 8, the 50th recipients of the state's most prestigious agricultural award.
Charles Linthicum, Tom Linthicum and Paula Linthicum accepted the award for the Linthicum family of Seneca Ayr Farms in Laytonsville. The family is the oldest continuously farming family in Montgomery County, according to a state press release, with nearly 200 years in the field — pun intended –and a history dating back to 1826.
"Our administration remains committed to doing all we can to ensure that Maryland families continue to run profitable, sustainable farms for generations to come," said Gov. Larry Hogan. "The Linthicums and all of our Maryland farm families here today are an inspiration to us all. On behalf of all the citizens of our great state, I want to sincerely congratulate them and thank them for making Maryland a better place with their outstanding stewardship of the land, production of food, and their vital contributions to our economy."
The Linthicum family started off as tobacco farmers, who then transitioned to dairy around the turn of the century. After their house burned down in 1927, they refocused on livestock and crops, but eventually transitioned back into dairy farming, according to a press release.
Around the mid-1990s, the family transitioned away from dairy once again, this time into raising hogs and growing crops. In 2015, their hog-finishing barn burned down, and the family transitioned to a small herd of beef cattle, along with growing corn, wheat and soybeans as well as making hay and straw.
"I am hard-pressed to think of a family more deserving of this distinct honor than the Linthicums," said Michele Cropp, president of the Montgomery County Farm Bureau. "In the face of major setbacks and obstacles, the Linthicum family has persevered and adapted their farm several times to remain successful. Their resilience and unwavering commitment to agriculture in Maryland is inspiring, and I am thrilled to see them inducted into the Governor's Agriculture Hall of Fame."
The family was chosen for their continued perseverance and adaptation to changing times as they "continue to incorporate new technology and conservation practices," according to a press release.
The Linthicum farm, a 1,100-acre plot in Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve, is currently overseen by Charles, Tom, and Paula and their employee, Jimmy Shelton. The family remains active in agricultural advocacy on the local, state and national levels, per a press release.
"Training I got from my mother and dad taught me the value of country life, and there was something more to it than just growing a crop and a love of nature," said Charles Linthicum.

United States District Court, D. South Dakota, Central Division
January 17, 2017
STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA, Plaintiff,v.WAYFAIR, INC., OVERSTOCK.COM, INC., AND NEWEGG, INC., Defendants.
State of South Dakota sued Defendants Wayfair, Inc.,
Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc.[1] in state circuit court to
enforce a new state law requiring the remittance of sales tax
on internet sales to South Dakotans by sellers lacking a
physical presence within South Dakota. Doc. 1-1. Defendants
removed the action to this federal district court alleging
federal question jurisdiction. Doc. 1. Plaintiffs filed a
Motion to Remand to State Court, Doc. 21, and on the same
day, Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, Doc. 25.
Because there is no federal jurisdiction over this state
taxation case based on Franchise Tax Board of California
v. Construction Laborers Vacation Trust for Southern
California, 463 U.S. 1 (1983), this Court remands the
case to state court.
Supreme Court in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota. 504
U.S. 298 (1992) reaffirmed the prohibition on states levying
a sales and use tax on sales by businesses that lack a
physical presence within the state. Echoing its prior
decision in National Bellas Hess. Inc. v. Department
of Revenue of Illinois. 386 U.S. 753 (1967), the
Court in Quill held that while a physical presence
was not required under the Due Process Clause when seeking to
impose a duty to collect a state use tax, a physical presence
was required to avoid a violation of the "negative"
or "dormant" Commerce Clause's substantial
nexus requirements. Quill. 504 U.S. at 312. Based on
stare decisis, Quill, though decided well before the
internet-sales boom, acknowledged the fading distinctions
between direct and indirect taxes perpetuated by formalism
and drafting. Quill, 504 U.S. at 311
("[C]ontemporary Commerce Clause jurisprudence might not
dictate the same result were the issue to arise for the first
time today."). Recently, in Direct Marketing
Ass'n v. Brohl, 135 S.Ct. 1124 (2015), the Supreme
Court decided a case touching on Bellas Hess. Quill,
and the dispute at issue here. Acknowledging the precedent of
Quill, the state of Colorado passed a law requiring
consumers themselves to fill out a return and remit taxes to
the state on items purchased online from sellers who do not
collect state sales and use taxes; retailers were responsible
for notifying consumers of the self-reporting and taxation
requirements. Brohl, 135 S.Ct. at 1127-28. In
discussing the Colorado tax law, the majority acknowledged
the internet's impact on state revenues, but as it was
not within the gambit of the question presented, did not
discuss the idea that Quill was wrongly decided or
outdated. Id. Justice Kennedy's concurrence,
however, focused on the need to reevaluate Quill in
light of "changes in technology and consumer
sophistication." Id. at 1135 (Kennedy, J.,
concurring). Justice Kennedy wrote that "[t]he legal
system should find an appropriate case for this Court to
reexamine Quill and Bellas Hess."
Kennedy's concurrence in Brohl spurred quick
action from the State of South Dakota. During the 2016
Legislative Session, the South Dakota Legislature passed
Senate Bill 106, "An Act to provide for the collection
of sales taxes from certain remote sellers." S.B. 106,
2016 Leg., 91st Sess. (S.D. 2016). This bill requires that
certain out-of-state sellers comply with South Dakota's
sales tax laws "as if the seller had a physical presence
in the state." S.B. 106 § 1. The law excludes
sellers that did not exceed $100, 000 in gross revenue from
sales within South . Dakota, or did not have more than two
hundred separate transactions within the state in the prior
calendar year or year to date. S.B. 106 § 1(1)-(2). The
law directs the State to bring a declaratory judgment action
to establish that the requirement that out-of-state sellers
remit sales tax to the State is valid under state and federal
law. S.B. 106 § 2. The filing of such a declaratory
judgment action operates as an injunction from enforcing the
remittance of sales tax under Section 1 of the Act. S.B.
§ 3. The Legislature included in S.B. 106 eleven
specific legislative findings, targeting without name
Quill, which prohibits the tax plan established in
the Act. S.B. 106 § 8. These findings outline the loss
of revenue South Dakota experiences from online-only sales
that are not subject to state taxes, the ease with which
retailers could adapt to the new taxation scheme, and Justice
Kennedy's call in his concurrence to Brohl that
the Quill doctrine should be reconsidered, S.B. 106
§ 8 (1), (6), (7). Governor Dennis Daugaard signed S.B.
106 into law on March 22, 2016, making it effective on May 1,
2016. See S.B. 106 § 9.
South Dakota Department of Revenue sent individualized
notices to 206 sellers it identified as meeting the statutory
requirements of S.B. 106 on or about March 25, 2016. Doc. 1-1
at 16, The notice required the sellers to register for a
license to collect and remit state sales tax by April 25,
2016. Doc. 1-1 at 16-17; see also Doc. 1-1 at 33-37.
On April 28, 2016, [2] the State initiated a state court suit
against four non-registered companies, Wayfair, Inc.,
Systemax, Inc., Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc., under
the Act's provisions. Doc. 1-1. In its complaint, the
State "recognizes that a change in federal
constitutional doctrine will be necessary for the State to
prevail in this case." Doc. 1-1 at 23. The State's
complaint includes numerous references to Bellas
Hess and Quill, and many of the
Legislature's findings. Doc. 1-1 at 6-7, 18. The prayer
for relief requests that "the Court declare that the
requirements of section 1 of the Act are valid" and that
"the Court enter an injunction requiring the defendants
to register for a license to collect and remit the sales
tax." Doc. 1-1 at 23-24. Upon receiving the State's
complaint, Systemax, Inc. voluntarily agreed to register with
the Department of Revenue to remit taxes under the Act, and
was then dismissed from the lawsuit. See Doc. 1 at 2.
Inc., Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc. filed a notice of
removal in the District of South Dakota, Central Division.
Doc. 1. The notice of removal alleges a question of federal
law to support jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 by
pointing to the State's declaratory judgment action
seeking S.B, 106's constitutional validity, and the
State's acknowledgement that a change in "federal
constitutional doctrine" is required before the State
can prevail. Doc. 1 at 3. The State filed a Motion to Remand
to State Court, Doc. 21, and on the same day the Defendants
filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, Doc. 25. The State
concedes in its briefing that the Defendants' Motion for
Summary Judgement should be granted, but by the state court
after remand. Doc. 27 at 16. The Defendants oppose the
State's Motion to Remand. Doc. 26. This Court held a
hearing on the pending motions on December 8, 2016. Doc. 36.
Federal Question Jurisdiction
matter jurisdiction, including upon removal, is an issue that
can be raised at any time, either on motion of the parties or
by the court itself, and cannot be forfeited or waived. 28
U.S.C. § 1447(c); United States v. Cotton, 535
U.S. 625, 630 (2002); Ruhrgas AG v, Marathon Oil
Co.. 526 U.S. 574, 583 (1999). A case may only be
removed to federal court where the federal court would have
had original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a);
Caterpillar Inc. v. Williams. 482 U.S. 386, 392
(1987) (identifying diversity of citizenship or federal
question jurisdiction as two ways to file in federal court).
The defendant removing the case from state to federal court
bears the burden of proving that the removal was proper, and
federal subject matter jurisdiction exists. In re
Business Men's Assurance Co. of Am.. 992 F.2d 181,
183 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam). "A defendant generally
is required to cite the proper statutory basis for removal
and to allege facts from which a district court may determine
whether removal jurisdiction exists." Pet Quarters,
Inc. v. Depository Tr. & Clearing Corp..
559 F.3d 772, 778 (8th Cir. 2009). However, federal
courts have a "virtually unflagging" obligation to
hear and decide cases within federal jurisdiction. Colo.
River Water Conserv. Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S.
800, 817 f 19761: see also Sprint Commc'ns. Inc. v.
Jacobs. 134 S.Ct. 584, 590-91 (2013).
federal question jurisdiction, "[t]he district courts
shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising
under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United
States." 28 U.S.C. § 1331. A majority of cases
brought under federal question jurisdiction involve a cause
of action that is created by federal law. See Am. Well
Works Co. v. Lavne & Bowler Co., 241 U.S. 257, 260
(1916) (establishing Justice Holmes' early conception of
federal question jurisdiction). These cases easily satisfy
the "well-pleaded complaint" rule, which requires
that the federal question appear on the face of the
plaintiffs complaint, rather than in an anticipated defense.
See Louisville & Nashville R.R. Co.. v. Mottley,
211 U.S. 149, 152 (1908); Taylor v. Anderson, 234
U.S. 74, 75-76 (1914); Gullv v. First Nat'l
Bank. 299 U.S. 109, 116 (1936); Williams v.
Ragnone, 147 F.3d 700, 702 (8th Cir. 1998)
("Federal question jurisdiction exists if the
'well-pleaded complaint establishes either that federal
law creates the cause of action or that the plaintiffs right
to relief necessarily depends on resolution of a substantial
question of federal law.'" (quoting Franchise
Tax Bd.. 463 U.S. at 27-28))
this case involves a "litigation-provoking problem,
" Textile Workers Union v. Lincoln Mills of
Ala.. 353 U.S. 448, 470 (Frankfurter, J. dissenting),
where "the presence of a federal issue [is] in a
state-created cause of action, " Merrell Dow Pharm.
Inc. v. Thompson, 478 U.S. 804, 808 (1986). As the State
itself has admitted, in order to succeed on the substance of
its complaint and with enforcement of S.B. 106, the Supreme
Court must overrule itself on an issue of constitutional
interpretation. See Doc. 1-1 at 23. This complicates federal
question jurisdiction, and illuminates how "the phrase
'arising under' masks a welter of issues regarding
the interrelation of federal and state authority and the
proper management of the federal judicial system."
Franchise Tax Bd.. 463 U.S. at 8. The Supreme Court
has recognized the "awkward results" produced by
these cases, "in which neither the obligation created by
state law nor the defendant's factual failure to comply
are in dispute, and both parties admit that the only question
for decision is raised by a federal pre-emption
defense." Id. at 12. Beginning with Smith
v. Kansas City Title & Trust Co.. 225 U.S. 180,
199-201 (1921), the Supreme Court's jurisprudence in
defining the outer limits of federal question jurisdiction
has repeatedly emphasized the "accommodation of
judgment" needed to determine jurisdiction, and eschewed
bright line rules. See Gully. 299 U.S. at 117;
Franchise Tax Bd.. 463 U.S. at 8-9; Merrell
Dow. 478 U.S. at.815; Grable & Sons Metal
Prods.. Inc. v. Darue Eng'g & Mfg.. 545 U.S.
308, 314 (2005): see also Gunn v. Minton. 133 S.Ct.
1059, 1065 (2013) ("In outlining the contours of this
slim category, we do not paint on a blank canvas.
Unfortunately, the canvas looks like one that Jackson Pollock
got to first."); but see Grable. 545 U.S. at
320-22 (Thomas, J., concurring) (suggesting the trouble of
using a complex approach, rather than the straightforward
rule advanced by Justice Holmes in American Well
Works, 241 U.S. at 260, that federal question
jurisdiction should be limited to cases where federal law
creates the cause of action, may outweigh any benefits of the
nuanced approach)
State seeks a remand to state court, arguing that federal
question jurisdiction is improper in this case both because
the well-pleaded complaint rule is not satisfied and because
the Supreme Court's holding in Franchise Tax
Board is controlling. See Docs. 21, 22, 30. The
Defendants oppose the motion for remand, arguing that the
unique circumstances of this suit-in which the only disputed
issue involves federal law, the success of the State's
complaint depends on an abrogation of federal law, and the
Supreme Court's decision after Franchise Tax
Board in Grable specifies a different test for
federal jurisdiction-support federal question jurisdiction.
See Doc. 26. The parties' arguments about
federal question jurisdiction in this case also implicate the
Tax Injunction Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1341; the Eleventh
Amendment; and comity concerns surrounding a suit involving a
state law specifically designed to be challenged and result
in an overruling of clear Supreme Court precedent.
Tax Board is the case most closely analogous to this
one. In Franchise Tax Board, the Supreme Court
addressed a case raising the issue whether the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) "permits
state tax authorities to collect unpaid state income taxes by
levying on funds held in trust for the taxpayers under an
ERISA-covered vacation benefit plan." 463 U.S.. at 3-4.
However, the particular question addressed in Franchise
Tax Board was whether the district court properly had
federal question jurisdiction over the complaint, which
consisted of one claim under the California tax code, and
another claim under the California Declaratory Judgment Act.
Id. at 13. In Franchise Tax Board, the
trustees of the targeted ERISA-covered vacation benefit plan
argued that the extensive regulations covering ERISA were
intended to preempt state tax laws, and they "lack[ed]
the power to honor the levies made upon them by the State of
California." Id. at 6. The Supreme Court
swiftly rejected federal jurisdiction over the California tax
code claim, because "California law establishes a set of
conditions, without reference to federal law, under which a
tax levy may be enforced, " and "federal law
becomes relevant only by way of a defense to an obligation
created entirely by state law, " the precise situation
for which the well-pleaded complaint rule was created.
Id. at 13-14. The Supreme Court affirmed that the
well-pleaded complaint rule still applied, "even if the
[federal] defense is anticipated in the plaintiffs complaint,
and even if both parties admit that the defense is the only
question truly at issue in the case." Id. at
Supreme Court took more time in analyzing possible federal
jurisdiction on the remaining claim under California's
Declaratory Judgment Act, because the federal preemption
question was a "necessary element" of the cause of
action. Id at 14. The Act required an "actual
controversy relating to the legal rights and duties" of
the parties, and the "only questions in dispute"
involved ERISA interpretation. Id. at 14. The
Supreme Court drew from Skelly Oil Co. v. Phillips
Petroleum Co.. 339 U.S. 667 (1950), where it interpreted
the federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201,
to mean that "if, but for the availability of the
declaratory judgment procedure, the federal claim would arise
only as a defense to a state created action, jurisdiction is
lacking." Franchise Tax Bd., 463 U.S. at 16
(quotation omitted). The Supreme Court then considered
whether to apply the same principle to state-created
declaratory judgment acts. Id. at 15-19, In an
effort to avoid making the rule of Skelly Oil
"a dead letter, " the Supreme Court held that
"federal courts do not have original jurisdiction, nor
do they acquire jurisdiction on removal, when a federal
question is presented by a complaint for a state declaratory
judgment, but Skellv Oil would bar jurisdiction if
the plaintiff had sought a federal declaratory
judgment." Id at 18-19. The Supreme Court
observed that "[t]here are good reasons why the federal
courts should not entertain suits by the States to declare
the validity of their regulations despite possibly
conflicting federal law." Id at 21. The Supreme
Court ultimately summarized its holding:
Under our interpretations, Congress has given the lower
federal courts jurisdiction to hear, originally or by removal
from a state court, only those cases in which a well-pleaded
complaint establishes either that federal law creates the
cause of action or that the plaintiffs right to relief
necessarily depends on resolution of a substantial question
of federal law. We hold that a suit by state tax authorities
both to enforce its levies against funds held in trust
pursuant to an ERISA-covered employee benefit plan, and to
declare the validity of the levies notwithstanding ERISA, is

Alan Koch was 'satisfied' but not happy about FC Cincinnati's 1-1 draw with Sporting KC
(Photo Credit: David Starcher)
FC Cincinnati drew their second game of the season after taking a 1-0 lead at the half. It wasn't necessarily the game ending in a draw that sent the fans home upset, but it was the how.
A deep through ball crossed from the left side of the field to the right, and as starting goalkeeper Spencer Richey came out to secure the ball, miscommucation between the one FC Cincinnati defender and the goalie allowed the ball to squeeze right by the two, right to the Sporting KC strike.
Lesson learned.
However, while that was a turning point in the game and ultimately cost the team two points, there were many other game-changing opporunities that the Orange and Blue failed to convert on. Combine all those, and you have a coach that left satified, yet not happy.
Per FC Cincinnati, Koch's postgame comments highlighted just how he viewed the club's 1-1 tie.
Koch understands this is one game. He understands this won't make or break the season..@Akoch is looking at the big picture of #CINvSKC. Hear his takeaways from tonight's match. pic.twitter.com/scVQZbplac— FC Cincinnati (@fccincinnati) April 7, 2019
That said, he also understands that, when the club is at home, they need to convert these opportunities. With a 1-0 lead ever since earlier in the first half due to a Darren Mattocks penality kick, FCC looked in control yet obviuosly didn't get the result they craved.
This one will sting.

With two Marriot hotels located within the park, all you have to do is show up and the rest of your vacation will be taken care of. The package includes staying at your choice of the two hotels in the park for one, two, or three night Family Escape Packages. With the package comes deluxe accommodations, breakfast, shuttles to the park's attractions, and two-day all-attraction Adventure Passes.
If you have been having too much fun on your vacation to Stone Mountain Park and wish to extend your stay another night, you can do so for only $99. Hotel choices include the Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort (map) and the Stone Mountain Inn (map). Both hotels have resort amenities and delectable cuisine.
There are endless activities to do in the park, but make sure to try one of the nation's best adventure courses, the Sky Hike, where no two hikes are the same and is great for the whole family. While being secured to the overhead safety system, you will be tested to master suspended wooden bridges, leap across wooden slates, and balance on a single rope high above the ground. Many different heights and levels are there for you to defeat. Also, make sure to try out the Summit Skyride, a high-speed Swiss cable car that brings you more than 825 feet above ground to the top of Stone Mountain. From way up you will have amazing views of the Confederate Memorial Carving, the Atlanta skyline, and the Appalachian Mountains.
Call 800-834-7015 and ask for promotional code "EW4″ to book your family vacation, or make a reservation online here for the Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort or the Stone Mountain Inn.
Packages start from $179 and is valid until September 6, 2010

Review: Emotions honest in 'Giant Little Ones'
A teen (Josh Wiggins) struggles with his sexual identity in Keith Berhman's raw look at self-discovery
Teenage sexuality, identity and confusion are at the heart of "Giant Little Ones," writer-director Keith Behrman's emotionally honest and heartfelt look at figuring out one's path through the difficult journey of adolescence.
Josh Wiggins is Franky, a high school swimming star getting ready to celebrate his 17th birthday. Franky and his girlfriend Priscilla (Hailey Kittle) have plans to lose their virginity together that night, but things take a turn when Franky and his best friend Ballas (Darren Mann) get wasted and wind up fooling around in bed.
Scared and confused about what transpired, Ballas spreads rumors about Franky all over school. And Franky — whose father, Ray (Kyle McLachlan), left his mother for another man — is tasked with asking himself tough questions about his own sexuality, his wants and his desires, all while under the scrutiny of his peers.
"Giant Little Ones" tackles its subject matter with a clear head and full heart. It examines the hurt incurred after losing a lifelong friend when Franky and Ballas are suddenly at odds with one another, and gives voice to Franky's anger — and later his acceptance — over the situation with his father.
Behrman gives Franky several strong females in his life, including his transgender friend Mouse (Niamh Wilson), Ballas' sister Natasha (Taylor Hickson) and his mother, Carly (Maria Bello).
"Giant Little Ones" deals with difficult, emotionally complex subject matter but Berhman is careful and considerate with his material. He fills this teenage story with depth and wisdom beyond its characters' years.
'Giant Little Ones'
Rated R: for sexual content, language and some drug/alcohol use – all involving teens
Running time: 94 minutes

Halloween is around the corner and soon the Markham streets will be filled with kids in costume in search for candy and fun. Instead of greeting trick or treaters on your front door this year, why don't you give them a more enticing experience with your very own Haunted Garage Doors Markham.
Here are few ideas on setting up a 'spooktacular' haunted garage door this Halloween:
1. Prepare your garage door
Test your sensors many times before Halloween to ensure no glitches will happen or no little one gets hurt by a faulty sensor.
2. Consider your door as a giant canvas
A quick trip to the local Halloween store will help you collect many props and decorations to use. You can purchase temporary artwork which is made from removable black cloth tape and crafts-foam sheets cut into Halloween-themed shapes. You can also use streamers, spider webs, and other decals to enhance your overhead door. If you have kids, this activity will light up their world. This year wear your creative hat on, you still have time!
3. Lights and Sound
Purposeful lighting and scary music will help enhance your haunted garage door. Although darkness itself is scary for most kids, consider adding fun lighting such as a black light or a strobe. Lights can also be used to cast scary shadows on the door.
4. Decorating the Outside
Line the path to your garage door with jack-o-lanterns and other spooky props such as zombie hands or gravestones. Make up a story to tell the kids like a giant monster or an escaped madman has been living in your garage. Replace the exterior light bulbs with black and orange lights and keep a fog machine to give a complete effect. For those with windows on their Garage doors Markham, you can create a truly frightening effect by cutting out the shapes of hands and forearms, and sticking them to the inside of the windows. This will put an effect like you have people trying to escape from your garage.
If you really want to shake things up this year and win the award for the most scariest house on the block, it's all about your garage door. If you are looking to make necessary repairs or updates to your overhead door before you begin decorating it for the holidays, feel free to call us. The professionals at Garage door repair Markham will cater all your garage-related needs.
Our team wishes you all a very Happy Halloween!

Many colleges hold car washes to make money for their fraternity or some important collegiate cause, but when you see the car washes that the girls at my college have, you'll see why my college rules. These girls don't need some cause to get nude and wet. They get off on luring horny men in off the street so they can watch the girls soap each other down. They know that the guys sit in their cars with their dicks as hard as a rock while they watch these tender young college students fondle and kiss each other while they're all soapy and wet.

Two professional theater groups applied for permission on Wednesday to perform in Fort Lauderdale's 300-seat Main Library auditorium.
Award-winning actress Melissa Hart and the South of Broadway theater in Coral Gables both applied to the Arts Consortium for the Advancement of the Theater Arts to use the facility during the 1986-87 season.
The Consortium, which was formed by the County Commission last year after a number of theater groups applied for use of the auditorium, will review the applications and probably make a decision at its Aug. 6 meeting.
The auditorium is available to professional groups on alternating months, said Cecil Beach, director of the divison of libraries. The rest of the time it is reserved for non-professional groups such as community theaters.
Money raised from use of the auditorium are given to the Broward Public Library Foundation.

I thought the course was excellent. The pace, the learning tools, the videos and the PDF downloads werevery helpful. What I found destructive were those peer evaluations. Some people didn't understand the assignments. I had to give 0 points for those who left their answers blank because they understand they didn't understand the tasks.

Do you know someone at
Arthur Murray Dance Studio
? Connect to find out!
Arthur Murray, born Moses Teichman in 1895, turned an interest in dancing and became one of the most important figures in the American dance scene in the 20th century. Starting with a mail order dance program complete with a step by step guide and footprints to lay on the floor, Arthur developed a knack for combining his business acumen with his love of dancing. While broadcasting a dance lesson on a radio show, Arthur met Kathryn Kohnfelder who he later married in 1925. Kathryn Murray helped the Murray's become an iconic dance couple, and she's go on to appear on television, magazines, and write and co-author books on dancing, and her famous husband.
Eventually, Arthur would open up dance studios so students could learn from teachers qualified in the Arthur Murray method of teaching. This led to his next dance business venture: Franchised Dance schools.

Nestled in the State Library building in downtown Raleigh, and part of the Government & Heritage Library, the North Carolina State Publications Clearinghouse is responsible for the collection, preservation, and dissemination of North Carolina state agency publications.
A "state agency publication" is any report, statistical compendium, bibliography, map, newsletter, regulation, pamphlet, brochure, periodical, bulletin, compilation, or register — in paper or digital format — that is prepared by a state agency or private organization under contract with or under the supervision of a state agency.
Crucially, a publication exists for an audience outside the agency. This audience can be as wide as the entire population of North Carolina, or as narrow as licensed refrigeration examiners. It can be another part of North Carolina state government. For example, many agencies publish reports for the North Carolina General Assembly.
The Clearinghouse collects these publications from every state agency. It receives printed publications via courier and mail daily. Digital publications stream in to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Passed in 1987, G.S. 125-11 established for the first time in North Carolina an orderly system for the distribution of state agency publications through the North Carolina State Publications Clearinghouse to designated depository libraries. The system, combined with the services of the State Library and those of the depository libraries, enables citizens from all areas of North Carolina to have timely and easy access to the valuable current and historical publications of their state government. With increased digital publishing of state publications, the State Publications Clearinghouse added the collection of digital publications, enabling easy access with the online North Carolina State Publications Collection.

Bambi. He's so majestic, and part of the joy of living and gardening in Colorado Springs is watching the deer walk through your yard on a peaceful morning. That is, until Bambi gets hungry and devours your plants! Deer are not picky eaters and with a population of 445,000 in Colorado it's a problem many a local plant lover will run into. Annuals, perennials, and even bulbs are fair game for a snack, but by choosing deer resistant plant materials and spraying safe deer repellants you can enjoy seeing the deer in your yard without feeding the neighborhood herd.

A soggy spring snowstorm blew into Colorado Wednesday, shutting down a stretch of Interstate 76 and postponing Rockies and Rapids games, but the storm didn't appear to measure up to the "bomb cyclone" that ransacked the northeast corner of the state last month, marooning motorists and cutting power to tens of thousands.
Gov. Jared Polis decided Wednesday afternoon to activate the Colorado National Guard — including 50 soldiers and 24 tactical vehicles — to support rescues of stranded motorists and others who might need help during the storm, but some agencies were already starting to wind down operations by evening.
The Red Cross announced around 6 p.m. that several counties and cities had closed their warming and evacuation centers "due to a lack of severe weather activity." And the Douglas County Sheriff's Office tweeted that "BombCylone 2.0 was a bit of a bust…"
"The Douglas County Emergency Operations Center is closing down and we're going home," the agency tweeted just before 6 p.m.
There were flight cancellations at Denver International Airport Wednesday, but no runways were closed as was the case during last month's storm. And whereas more than 200,000 customers in Colorado lost power during the March 13 storm, Xcel said only 1,000 customers were affected by Wednesday's storm as of 6:30 p.m.
RELATED: Why snow totals don't matter as much as you might think
"More than half of those are up near Fort Collins and Windsor," Xcel spokesman Mark Stutz said. "Still a very low number."
Late Wednesday night, Interstate 70 closed eastbound at Airpark Road in Aurora, and westbound in Limon, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
National Weather Service meteorologist Kyle Fredin said the metro area would likely get around 3 inches of snow from the storm, which he said was "a little weaker and quicker to move out" than the storm last month.
While sustained winds weren't fierce enough to qualify the storm as a blizzard along the Front Range, Fredin said the eastern plains could see gusts of more than 50 mph with full blizzard conditions as the night wore on.
"They're really going to get hit out there," he said.
It wasn't as if Wednesday's storm didn't pack a punch around the state. Traffic came to a standstill south of Castle Rock on southbound Interstate 25 Wednesday evening, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Meanwhile, the Colorado Department of Transportation reported "multiple vehicles" spinning out on Interstate 70 in the high country, prompting a safety closure at East Vail interchange.
In the southwest corner of the state, a Colorado State Patrol trooper's car was struck by another car on U.S. 160. The trooper was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while another driver was also taken to a hospital, authorities said.
In Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, Mark Montoya lugged his groceries down Zuni Street, bracing himself against the whipping wind.
"Is this April or what?" Montoya said, looking around at the snow-covered lawns. "I've already put away my shovel for the year," Montoya said. "I'm just going to let the snow melt."
Down the block, postal worker Barb Matthews dropped mail off at a coffee shop, walking briskly back to her van for the next round of deliveries.
"I'm kind of tired of this weather," she said. "It slows us down."
But the mail must go on. Matthews pointed to a duffel bag full of gear in the trunk of her USPS truck — gloves, hats, snow cleats and extra layers for when the weather gets really rough.
"I know better than to believe the snow's done by April," she said. "But it'd be nice if it were summer."
Rain began turning over to snow in the metro area in the early to mid-afternoon, creating mostly wet roads for commuters making their way home. But CDOT wasn't waiting for travel conditions to become treacherous before taking action.
During a conference call Wednesday afternoon, Kyle Lester, maintenance director for CDOT, said the agency would be more proactive about closing interstates and major highways than it had been during the bomb cyclone last month. During that storm, hundreds of motorists were stranded as deteriorating conditions made roads impassable.
This time, CDOT said it would stage crews at key points, such as Monument Hill on I-25. One lesson learned in March, Lester said, was the need to close roads faster. Lester recognized travelers and truck drivers will be upset but he said "it is the right thing to do."
CDOT did close 150 miles of I-76, from Lochbuie to the Nebraska state line, late Wednesday afternoon due to worsening conditions. The closure came as the National Weather Service warned that some areas in the northeastern part of the state could get an inch of snow per hour.
"Reopening is up to Mother Nature," the state patrol tweeted.
Lester said 43 plows have been deployed on the I-70 mountain corridor, and 100 plows would be clearing streets in the metro area. Roads were not pre-treated because the snow was preceded by rain, which would have washed the chemicals away.
Out at Denver International Airport, flight cancellations mounted as the storm moved in. Approximately 750 flights had been nixed by Wednesday afternoon, while 72 were delayed, according to airport spokeswoman Mindy Crane.
All afternoon, local governments announced they would close offices early. The Arapahoe County Road and Bridge Division closed Cherry Creek Dam Road Wednesday afternoon because of weather conditions.
Meanwhile, at the state legislature, a House bill to make it illegal to pass snowplows during a storm had people slated to testify. But most of them were CDOT drivers, who were out on the road preparing for a blizzard. The measure, HB-1265, passed unanimously from the House Transportation and Local Government Committee.

A. The only soups that DO directly contain gluten are the Curried Cashew Soup (with pearl barley) and the Bavarian Barley Soup (with pearl barley). The other soups do not contain gluten ingredients, although they are not certified gluten-free. This is mainly because we need to carry forward the same disclaimer that some of our ingredients have: may contain traces of wheat, nuts, soy, sesame, mustard. There are a number of people who are gluten-intolerant that do eat our soups and have no problem with them, but unfortunately, we cannot offer any guarantees.
A. As for common allergens, the Curried Cashew Soup contains nuts (cashews) and gluten (pearl barley); the Smoky Split Pea Soup contains mustard; the Bavarian Barley Soup contains mustard and gluten (pearl barley); the Spicy Coconut Lentil contains coconut, the Thai Lentil contains coconut and, the Za'atar Lentil Soup contains sesame. Although we do our best to avoid cross-contamination on our end, we do need to provide the following disclaimer for all of our soups: May contain traces of wheat, nuts, soy, sesame, coconut and mustard. Please contact us directly with more specific questions and concerns at email@example.com.
A. Yes, the soups do very well in a slow cooker! Most of the soups are ready in about 5 hours on high heat or in about 8-10 hours on low heat, EXCEPT the Moroccan Lentil Soup, Mexican Amaranth Soup, Thai Lentil and the Italian Rice n' Lentil Soup, which require less cooking and are ready in about 2 hours on high heat or 5 hours on low heat.
A. All the soups sit at about 17-18% per 1 cup serving. Although they cannot be considered low-sodium, they are certainly on the lower end of sodium levels compared to most commercially available soups (that includes the fresh varieties, not just canned varieties). For those that prefer a low-sodium option, we do offer salt-free versions of all our soup flavours, upon special request. If ordering online, just include that request in the "Order Notes" section.
A. Once cooked, the soup lasts in the fridge for up to 4 days.
A. Yes, definitely! Once cooked, the soup keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How long you gonna stay with us on our wedding day?
I'm not a photographer, whou would capture just a ceremony, few shots at the park afterwards and go home. I know it sounds like cliche these days, but wedding is really a story for me. And I want to tell this story and so my services starts on 8 hrs coverage. In case of smaller family weddings we can ofcourse think about some compromise.
Are you working alone or do you have second shooter?
Honestly, I'm not a fan of this trend and working just by myself. I prefer quality over the quantity and I didn't have any issues so far.
Do you postprocess all the photos?
Sure, all of them would go through a set of adjustments and you will receive final product in full resolution and highest quality.
How many photos do we get?
One thing, that I really hate is the option and packages with variable photo amount. Every wedding is totally different and it's not not only with how many guests you have or how amazing night party you can have etc.
That is the reason why I never do a limits with photos that I deliver and you always get all of them, which get through my selection (and by that mean I discard all the duplicates, bad expressions, closed eyes, etc.)
From full day shooting usually deliver 400-600 photos. My personal record is 800 from whole day:-)
What is the delivery time?
Full gallery delivery is up to 7 weeks from the wedding day. But not to wait all the time and be consumed with curiosity, you will get in two days just some sneak peek with about 15 - 20 photos.
Do you offer prewedding shooting as well?
Oh yeah and love it! All of my clients have a possibility to have a couple session for a special price.
We love your photos, but we are not photogenic:-)
Trust me, I can hear this all the time, but the wedding shooting is really a simple thing. There is just one rule - You have to feel good during that. Because once somebody pushes you into whatever weird and not natural poses, you just cannot feel comfy and good and even the photo cannot just be ok. I love to work with people and the most I love naturalness, so you don't have to worry at all.
We can see you live in Prague, but our wedding is on different location. Will you come to us?
Yes, I live in Prague, but most of my weddings is elsewhere. And I will go to your wedding anywhere you want.
Do you like roast sirloin in sour cream? (Typical czech wedding food)
Thanks to weddings I have a chance to taste this meal anywhere and I keep enjoying this. But the best one ofcourse comes from my mum:-)
Do you really still enjoy weddings?
Sometimes I can hear this question and just laugh at it. I did never imagined to have this job, but it's really something that makes me happy. I'm living my dream, that I didn't even know I have.
Honestly, I have the best job on the world!

Having granite countertops in your home has become a popular choice among homeowners over the years. Granite countertops are not only attractive, but they are incredibly durable as well. They can easily handle high temperatures and resist most kinds of stains when adequately sealed.
While granite countertops have a lot to offer, they can show signs of wear and tear over time, primarily when you don't adequately maintain them. However, specialty granite countertop cleaners can be expensive.
If you want to keep your granite countertops looking beautiful, while saving money, you should consider using a homemade granite cleaner to clean your countertops.
You can make many of the homemade cleaners yourself with a handful of standard materials that you probably already have in your home, like dish soap, baking soda, and rubbing alcohol.
Making a DIY granite cleaner is also an affordable alternative to the expensive commercial cleaners on the market today. Here are some of the best homemade granite cleaners that you can make at home.
Homemade Granite Countertop Cleaners
If the idea of making a natural granite cleaner makes you cringe, you'll be happy to know that most homemade granite cleaners are simple to make and won't cost you an arm and a leg. They are also safe to use on your granite countertops, and won't leave a harsh chemical residue.
Another bonus for making a DIY granite cleaner is they don't contain harsh chemicals that can be dangerous to your family and harmful to the environment. And, since a pizza stone may be made from granite, too, this is an excellent and safe cleaning option for this piece of household equipment.
1. Natural Granite Cleaner
One of the best ways to get rid of soap scum that has built up on your granite countertops overtime is to use rubbing alcohol. The isopropyl rubbing alcohol both cleans and shines your granite countertop in a matter of minutes.
Just like our window cleaner recipe, we are using rubbing alcohol as the main ingredient. When using this recipe, it's essential to work fast as the rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly.
Natural Granite Cleaner Recipe
- ½ cup rubbing alcohol
- 2 cups water
- 6-8 drops Dawn dish soap
- 3-4 drops essential oil of your choice
In a spray bottle, add the rubbing alcohol, water, and dish soap. Next, add in the essential oils that you have chosen. Shake the bottle to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Spray the mixture on your countertops and wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
2. Homemade Castile Soap Granite Cleaner
When not properly cared for, granite can quickly become stained and damaged. This also applies to slate floors. This all-purpose cleaner uses rubbing alcohol and Castile soap to clean your counters and keep them looking beautiful.
The rubbing alcohol in the recipe works to kill germs, and to help the water dry more quickly. Our recipe also serves as the perfect homemade slate floor cleaner. Your slate flooring will shine once again and smell better than ever.
DIY Castile Soap Granite Cleaner
- ¼ cup rubbing alcohol
- 3 drops Castile soap
- 2 cups warm water
- 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil
Pour the rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle. Add the dish soap, water, and essential oils. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients. Spray on your countertops and wipe clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
3. DIY Granite Cleaner with Essential Oils
The commercial granite cleaners that you can buy in the store are a lot more expensive than the following recipe even though they contain the same ingredients.
When you add basil and grapefruit essential oils to the mix, just as if you do with grout cleaning, you get a powerful cleaner that is safe and one that won't damage your countertops. Basil has been found to inhibit the spreading of E-coli and various other strains of bacteria and fungi, while grapefruit has been found to be extremely effective against MRSA and resistant strains of candida.
Homemade Granite Cleaner with Essential Oils
- ½ cup rubbing alcohol
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon Castile soap
- Seven drops basil essential oil
- 20 drops grapefruit essential oil
Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle, shaking well to combine. It is important that you stir the mixture well before each use to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Liberally spray the solution on your granite counters and gently wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
4. Homemade Granite Polish
After years of use, your granite countertops may be starting to look dull. You can restore the shine to your countertops with this homemade granite polish. You make it with a few simple ingredients that you can find in your pantry or local grocery store.
DIY Granite Polish Recipe
- 2 cups warm water
- Two tablespoons liquid dish soap
- ¼ cup rubbing alcohol
- ¼ cup baking soda
Combine it all in a spray bottle and shake well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Clean the surface of your countertops with one of the homemade granite cleaners above. Wipe clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
Spray the surface of your countertops with the homemade polish and gently rub the granite with a clean, soft cloth. Work the polish into the granite using a circular motion.
What Materials Should I Avoid Using?
Make sure not to use the wrong type of product or cleaning supply can quickly damage your countertops, leaving them in worse shape than when you started, which can lead to an expensive repair. When cleaning your granite countertops, you want to avoid using citrus or acidic products.
Materials like white vinegar and lemon juice will not only dull the appearance of your granite, but they can also begin to etch or cut the stone. While you may not notice the damage right away, continuing to use vinegar and other acidic products, will damage your granite over time.
Another product that you want to avoid using your granite countertops is Windex or other glass cleaners and products. The harsh chemicals found in these products can begin to remove the sealant on the countertops, making them more prone to build-ups of grime, dirt, bacteria, and stains.
How to Keep Your Granite Looking Great
To keep your granite countertops looking great, it is essential to remove dirt and grime as soon as you notice it. Take a sponge or dishcloth and wipe your countertops down using your favorite homemade granite cleaner.
A few other simple ways you can keep your kitchen countertops in the best shape possible:
- Using coasters
- Using cutting boards
- Using hot pads
Make sure you keep sealing quarts countertops or your granite countertops every year. Unlike with the cleaner, there is no DIY homemade granite sealer that you can use. It's best to use a commercial product to seal your granite to ensure they are adequately protected.
Granite countertops are expensive, making proper maintenance crucial for extending the life of your countertops. Knowing how to make your own homemade granite cleaner can save you time and money.
Make sure to use your cleaner on a regular basis and avoid using harmful chemicals like vinegar and anything acidic products, like lemon juice. Even though they are known for their durability, and scratch-resistant properties, it's still important to take care of them so you can enjoy them for many years to come.
We hope you found the information and the granite cleaner recipes helpful. Please feel free to share these granite polish and cleaner recipes will all your friends and family.

Cenobites are people, too... I hate that I've started to need more out of my horror film viewing experience. I used to be fine with a movie only having gratuitous violence and nothing else. Recently, I've been needing a little more substance. I think it's because of the slow burn / less violent / well-written horror flicks that have come out lately such as It Follows, The Witch, A Quiet Place, The Conjuring, etc. Enter Hellbound. It's quite violent, but the story is very muddled. I would … [Read more...]
Chillerama – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 8
The last night of a drive-in theatre is the setting and the wraparound story for this horror/comedy anthology. This film starts with a man getting his wang bitten off by the corpse of his ex-wife, and then we're off... I'm a big fan of horror inspired anthologies such as Creepshow, Trick 'r Treat and Body Bags but this one just didn't do it for me. It is continuously, unnecessarily and overtly sexual. And the violence in the last act is shockingly over the top. This film and the films within … [Read more...]
Anatomy – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 4
This 2000 German release is about a medical student (Franka Potente) that gets awarded a place a prestigious med school only to uncover a secret society which is involved in questionable medical practices. Ok thriller with not many thrills. It shares many of the same themes as the 1996 film Extreme Measures starring Gene Hackman and Hugh Grant. Once the majority of the secrets had been revealed, the film tries too hard to continue the suspense with unnecessary attempts at story depth and … [Read more...]
Forbidden World – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 3
Have you ever wondered what Alien would have looked like if it had been produced by Roger Corman? Wonder no more. I present you, Forbidden World. After being awaken from a deep hyper-sleep to help fend off enemy ships, a federation marshal is summoned to a research space station where gene-splicing is practiced and the wearing of bras has been outlawed An experiment goes wrong and creates a mutant that starts to run amok throughout the space station. The mutant cocoons frequently yet they … [Read more...]
Drownsman, The – Quickie Review
The name is much better than the movie. The idea is cool and the killer is interesting enough, but it's kinda boring. Most horror films are built on gore and/or suspense. If it only has one, you depend on the other hopefully picking up the slack. However, this doesn't have suspense and the method of death is drowning so where's the gore? Disappointing. … [Read more...]
Baby Blues – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 29 / Film #2
A young couple buys a new home and they find that the previous owners have left a strange doll behind. This pretty much plays like a Child's Play/Annabelle hybrid, but not a good one. Many failed jump scares fill 90 wasted minutes. Go ahead and give it a miss. … [Read more...]
Man Who Laughs, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 29 / Film #1
I wanted to like this film because of the pop culture history that's attached. I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps silent films just aren't for me. However, the lead, Conrad Veidt, is exceptional. And his character's appearance was the real inspiration for the original design of The Joker. Some may see this as a horror, but for me the most horrific thing was how much people were enthusiastic about clowns. … [Read more...]
From A Whisper To A Scream – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 26 / Film #4
A weak anthology horror in the vein of the much superior Twilight Zone and Creepshow. The stories are tied together by a librarian telling a reporter about the town's horrid past. The third tale boasts some pretty graphic violence, but the story itself doesn't add up to much. Really, the only redeeming aspect of the film is Vincent Price as the librarian. … [Read more...]
Anthropophagus – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 17 / Film #2
Underwhelming Italian horror. Creepy killer, creepy locale, decent gore, but it's incredibly dull with a score that occasionally sounds like two cats fighting on a keyboard. The jump scares are mostly telegraphed or poorly choreographed. There's some f'd up stuff along the way such as the killer eating his own intestines, but nothing really to sustain one's interest. … [Read more...]
Annabelle – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 15 / Film #4
Thoroughly disappointing prequel to the vastly superior, The Conjuring. An attempted jump scare here, a contrived scare there. Eerie music here, manic screams there. It tries really hard to be something, but it just falls flat. … [Read more...]

Tornado Tracks. Health of oceans 'declining fast' 3 October 2013Last updated at 01:19 ET. California's drought is the worst in 1,200 years, evidence suggests. As California finally experiences the arrival of a rain-bearing Pineapple Express this week, two climate scientists from the University of Minnesota and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have shown that the drought of 2012-2014 has been the worst in 1,200 years. Daniel Griffin, an assistant professor in the Department of Geography, Environment and Society at the University of Minnesota, and Kevin Anchukaitis, an assistant scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, asked the question, "How unusual is the ongoing California drought?
" Watching the severity of the California drought intensify since last autumn, they wondered how it would eventually compare to other extreme droughts throughout the state's history. To answer those questions, Griffin and Anchukaitis collected new tree-ring samples from blue oak trees in southern and central California.

Solar power is casting a bigger shadow. Does having your own solar power installation sound appealing? It apparently does to a growing number of American businesses and homeowners who are investing in what many tout as a cleaner and less expensive source of electricity.
And that trend of buying into solar power is also growing internationally. During 2014's second quarter, photovoltaic (PV) installations in the U.S. went over the gigawatt mark for the third consecutive quarter, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). A gigawatt is equivalent to the amount of power needed for around 750,000 homes. And while commercial solar power is still in its infancy (the Institute for Energy Research says solar makes up just 0.2 percent of the net energy produced in the U.S.), homes and businesses with solar panels are no longer considered an oddity.
Solar energy costs are also dropping. The solar industry has also become an important source of jobs for Americans. A report published earlier this month by the Nelson A.

The ongoing severe drought in California is the just the latest in a recent series of water crises that have kept large areas of America parched. Parts of Texas and the Southwest are still recovering from historic drought conditions that dried up the region several years ago.
And given global climate change and the world's growing population, the costly process of desalination -- turning ocean or brackish water into clean, drinkable fresh water -- is being considered a viable option in California and elsewhere. In California alone, 17 desalination plants are either under construction or being planned, including the $1 billion Carlsbad facility near San Diego, scheduled to open in 2016. Once fully operational, that plant is expected to produce 50 million gallons of drinking water a day.
