Dobber's offseason fantasy hockey grades – Columbus Blue Jackets
For the last 12 years over at The Hockey News, I have reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. Now that I am no longer with THN, my 13th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of fantasy hockey.
Gone – Brian Gibbons, Luke Adam, Sean Collins, Mark Letestu, Corey Tropp, Artem Anisimov, Marko Dano, Jeremy Morin, Ryan Craig and Jack Skille.
Incoming – Gregory Campbell, Brandon Saad, Markus Hannikainen
Impact of changes – Campbell replaces Letestu and probably upgrades the role. Saad replaces Dano and upgrades the offensive upside and experience at the cost of some grit. With the emergence of Alexander Wennberg, the need for Anisimov is gone.
Ready for full-time – William Karlsson showed in 21 games last year that he's ready for the NHL. Now 22, he'll have to earn his ice time. And he's still in an area of his career where he'll be sent down to the AHL pretty quickly if he doesn't produce. Karlsson boasts intriguing upside, but we won't get to see it unless a key forward is injured and he gets a shot on a scoring line.
Michael Chaput is a former Memorial Cup MVP who has reinvented his game to become more of a defensive player. Although he's been close to an NHL regular for two years now, he's still only 23 and has plenty of time. But he'll never be a fantasy asset.
Sonny Milano is about a year away from making this team. But his skill is so high end that perhaps he forces the issue. But in his AHL stint to end last season he had five points in 10 games and was a minus-7, which doesn't scream "I'm gonna force the issue".
Like Milano, Kerby Rychel is also a former first rounder and he actually saw some action with the big club in 2014-15, posting three points (plus-3) in five games. He has NHL size and will probably be the first player the team calls up when there is an injury. How many games he plays will depend on how healthy the team is.
Anton Forsberg is the top prospect goalie in the system. He did get into five games last season, but lost four of them and posted a dismal 0.866 SV%. In the AHL though, he dominated – 20-8-0, 2.01 and 0.927. He'll be in the AHL again but I get the sense that the team will start transitioning him to the NHL by calling him up for spot starts. I think he starts as many games this season as backup Curtis McElhinney.
Fantasy Outlook – A young organization with many players that have upside, though not elite upside other than maybe Ryan Johansen, Milano and recent draftee defenseman Zach Werenski. The pipeline is average to above average. The Blue Jackets were 13th in the league in goals per game last year and fifth in power-play proficiency, and those numbers should actually improve a little. A decent team to build your fantasy squad around.

Skip to comments.U.S. expands truck crossing on Mexico border (Laredo, Texas, from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico)
Posted on 05/06/2011 10:51:56 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) A program to expand the busiest commercial crossing over the U.S.-Mexico border was inaugurated on Friday, nearly doubling the capacity for trucks entering Laredo, Texas, from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, authorities said.
The program increased the number of truck lanes at the World Trade Bridge into Laredo, to 15 from eight, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said.
The expansion also added an additional exit lane for vehicles leaving the facility, which currently handles around 5,000 trucks a day and has been so busy that trucks were delayed several hours.
"It is going to be a tremendous help in trying to lower the wait times for trucks crossing into the U.S.," Gene Garza, director of field operations for CBP's Laredo field office, told Reuters.
"Adding another exit gate will enable us to operate more efficiently," he added.
Mexico is the United States' second largest trading partner after Canada, with bilateral trade worth around $1 billion a day.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
My son used to be in the trucking business but insurance was huge and DOT kept pulling him over and fineing him for everything (I was even in his rig one time when it happened) I bet those mex trucks coming in to the USSA have a flag through and the full blessing of the DOT. I just want to throw up about the disgusting treatment white males get versus the mexs. 2012 better be a flagship year for Americans!!!!!!!
Have to keep the Mexican US illegal drug partnership going.
Not to mention this will be a boon to human trafficking.
Wondering when we'll start seeing the containers coming across that used to come to our ports?
Are we nucking futs?
Los dos Laredos ping!

Tier 1 Science Project
The reach of next-generation cosmological surveys will be determined by our ability to control systematic effects. Currently, there are constraints on cosmological parameters at the few percent level. To reach a more definite conclusion about the cause of the accelerated expansion of the universe, the accuracy of these measurements must be improved by another order of magnitude. To achieve this goal, researchers have to understand the physics of the universe on ever smaller scales. The physics on these scales is much more complicated and accurate treatment of baryonic effects will be crucial.
Today, and in the near future, simulating galaxy formation from first principles will remain an intractable task. Therefore, researchers have to rely on so-called subgrid models that allow them to include a range of astrophysical effects into the simulations, such as supernova feedback, star formation, cooling, or feedback from active galactic nuclei. The modeling approach relies heavily on empirical findings. With this ESP project, the team has two major aims in mind: (1) further the understanding of astrophysical processes by confronting detailed simulations with the newest observations, and (2) with this new understanding, enable reliable modeling of baryonic physics and therefore provide an approach to mitigate possible contamination of cosmological results due to baryonic effects. The researchers will explore a range of well-motivated subgrid models and extract observational signatures. The team will confront their findings with observational data and in this way make progress towards their final goals.
Impact: This project will have a major impact on cosmology and astrophysics. By confronting new observations with sophisticated simulations, the research team will further the understanding of astrophysical processes on small scales. At the same time, they will disentangle these processes from fundamental physics and therefore help mitigate one of the major sources of systematic uncertainties for upcoming cosmological surveys.
Problem Scale
As part of this project, the team will carry out a suite of large volume simulations (800h−1Mpc)3 with 2x20483 particles each, leading to a mass resolution of ∼ 5·109h−1M⊙ for the dark matter species and a factor of five lower mass for the baryons. These specifications may change slightly once first test results are in hand.
Numerical Methods/Algorithms
The HACC framework simulates the mass evolution of the universe using particle-mesh techniques. HACC splits the force calculation into a specially designed grid-based long/medium range spectral particle-mesh (PM) component that is common to all architectures, and an architecture-specific short-range solver. The short-range solvers can use direct particle-particle interactions, i.e., a P3M algorithm, as on Roadrunner or Titan, or use tree methods as on the IBM Blue Gene/Q and Cray XE6 systems (TreePM algorithm). A new hydrodynamic capability is currently being implemented into HACC. The team has developed and tested a new algorithm called Conservative Reproducing Kernel Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (CRKSPH), which directly addresses some of the shortcomings of traditional SPH methods compared to Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement methods, such as the suppression of mixing.
Parallelization of the long-range force calculation uses MPI. Short-range force algorithms, which depend on the architecture, are expressed in the appropriate programming model – thus the approach can be characterized as "MPI + X", where, in this case, X can be OpenMP, CUDA, or OpenCL. HACC computational kernels have been heavily optimized for architectures including Mira and Titan. Scaling and performance as a fraction of machine peak speed are exceptional.
Application Development
- The main optimization task will be to optimize the short-range solver (gravity + hydro) for KNL.
- The HACC hydro currently only has a prototype implementation. The main developer will focus on a GPU version for the CAAR project. A new team member (JD Emberson) joining in January 2016 will take on some of the hydro implementation tasks.
- Different subgrid models will need to be implemented, drawing on the experience of collaborators in this area.
- CosmoTools will also need to be enhanced significantly for the hydro version as many new baryon-specific analysis and visualization components will need to be added. Theta's large memory (192 GB) per node is not only useful for the increased memory required by the baryonic tracer particles, but allows the implementation of in situ analysis algorithms that would otherwise consume too much memory.
HACC addresses portability with a code structure that flexibly adapts to architectures. First, it combines MPI with a variety of more local programming models (e.g., OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA). Second, while the main code infrastructure (C/C++/MPI) remains unchanged, the short-range force modules can be plugged in and out as required. For a given architecture, not only may the programming model be different, but even the algorithms are allowed to change. The team has recently started to implement fully portable analysis tools using PISTON and NVIDIA's Thrust library, which provides CUDA, OpenMP, and Intel TBB backends for data-parallel primitives. These primitives include such operators as scan, transform, and reduce, each of which can be customized with user-defined functors. HACC has been benchmarked on KNL simulators and some of the analysis tools have been run on Stampede.

Today, you looked at your Brisbane home and thought of the time when you built it. Realizing it was quite a while ago, you now begin to think of renovating your home to bring back its youthful glory once again. But realizing further that it is your first time to do renovation, you are daunted by the task of doing so. What if you make mistakes or spend more than you can handle? If you are thinking of the possible mistakes that you could commit in your renovation scheme, then this is the feature for you. Let us have a run-down of the 5 most common mistakes committed in house renovation:
1. Skipping the Planning Stage
Once deciding to do a renovation, you readily got out and bought the materials you thought you needed and contracted people you thought could help you. This is all a big, resounding NO. Where did the planning stage go, mate? Home renovation is just like any other project: it needs to have a plan. And by plan, it needs to have a budget and a timetable to be followed strictly and methodically. By skipping this stage, you are setting yourself up for a miserable renovation ending.
2. Being too focused on the trends
What's trendy may not be the suitable choice for you. Besides, trends are short-term in nature and will eventually get old. What happens if in a few months, you suddenly find yourself unhappy with the trendy installation you have made? Does that mean you will renovate again and spend some money once more? Nuh-uh.
3. Not anticipating the worst that could happen
In every project, you always hope for the best case scenario to take place. But what if you experience the worst case you could think of? Like in your wall painting, for example. Finding the best colour can be hard. If you feel like you do not like the paint colours available at your nearest construction supplies store, then you can maybe ask for the help of your contractor. Hiring a commercial painter Brisbane for a home renovation project is not difficult. They can even help you with finding the perfect colours for your walls.
4. Improper Storing of your materials
After each work day, you need to check on the materials that are left on site. Some of them may be trash, but some can still be used in the following days and you failing to store them properly can be a source of loss and unnecessary cost on your part. Checking on the materials at the end of each work day would be really, really helpful.
5. Compromising the safety concern
In home renovation projects, there is always a possibility of someone getting hurt while doing work. The best thing to do is thinking of the safest ways possible to handle the job. Keep a first aid kit handy and easily accessible. The safety of every person on site is top priority and must not be underestimated.
Home renovation is no simple work. It can cost you a lot but it can even cost you more if you do not think things through. It is never easy but finding yourself wary of these common mistakes can lessen the difficulty a whole lot better.

Raghav says I m not scared of blackmail. The guy says then get scared, this is just trailer, picture is still there, drink your anger, else I will leak this MMS. Raghav says get out. The guy leaves.
Naina walks on road crying and thinks of Raghav's words. She comes to meet Raghav and collides with that guy. He goes. She sees Raghav drinking and asks are you drinking to hide your inner conscience, you remind me of Veer, you got worse than him, being proud of richness.
He says you are still missing Veer, this is not any bus stop that you come anytime. She says stop it, why are you dragging me, to impress whom? Is this your greatness? He says you were great, I was always bad, the difference is I like to be bad now, if you leave, your cry can end. She says you have no right to play with anyone's life.
She shuts the door and says till I don't get my answers, I will not leave from here. She asks why did you lie in front of police. He says I did not lie, get out. She says you were liar, you are and will always be. He says shut up, lower your tone, else my family will wake up. She asks are you scared of your respect falling, you are like this, cold and calculative. He asks her to get out. She says I will not go, answer me why did you lie to police, I could not think you can fall so low. He asks who are you to ask me for an explanation, did you give me explanation about the guy, that guy left you, fate brought us in front of each other, you want to know why I did this…. Sonali knocks door. He smiles and goes to open door.
Sonali says we had a date tonight, we can celebrate. She sees Naina and says I thought… Raghav says she was leaving, our work is over, get the files home, I m tired, I worked all day, I want some break. Naina picks files. Raghav drinks with Sonali. Naina looks on. Sonali says Naina is so good and loves her husband, she is raising child alone. Raghav says leave it, we will talk about us. Naina gets angry and thinks fix marriage today, I would have not come here to spoil your party if I did not had to know reason of your life. She goes. Sonali hugs Raghav. He pushes her. She asks what happened.
He says I don't need your love, I was just timepassing with you and other girls, I m not the guy you are finding, I don't want to keep any relation, you are a nice girl but you love me, but I can't be yours, just go. Sonali leaves.
Its morning, Naina sits working in office and gets backache. Raghav gets more files for her. He burdens her with work. He taunts her for wasting energy in spoiling live interviews. She says I have worked on files. The man praises Naina for her work. Raghav asks who are you. The man says I m Parth, this company's HR, I was on leave and did not get time to meet you, Naina is valuable asset for this company. Raghav says you are praising her so soon, did you see her beauty and know her work, why, I will have a doubt, Naina spoils work, she has sent me to jail, she always argues and does drama. He asks Naina to get breakfast for him and do her work.
Naina says everything is done. He sees breakfast and says it looks nice. She asks him to enjoy. He thinks what did she add in it and keeps it back. She says I made food for you for this job. He says even I die by thirst, I would not have water by your hands. She says so much fear is not good for health. He asks her to send the person with whom he has meeting. She sits and says you are next meeting with me. He says new drama again. She says no, helplessness, you are always busy in meetings or with beautiful doctors. He says I m hungry, I will order my breakfast, go and work.
She says this meeting time is mine, I won't go, I want my answers, tell me why did you lie to police. He says my night time is not yours. She says I don't care, you said… He says I called hospital. I will pay for Zeenu's bills. She says you can tag price for everything, you think world is charity case, its hit and run case, that man will hit someone else, what will you do then, my friend is unable to go on work, you are paying for her suffering, I will not sit quiet till I get justice for her. He says do anything, go to your desk, let me enjoy brownie. He eats and coughs, asking why is this brownie so spicy. She asks him to say truth or bear lie. He shouts get out. She leaves.
Raghav scolds an office employee. The man says I had a request, I want leave, my wife is pregnant. Raghav asks what will you do at home.

Australia is a target market to grow charter participation in the regatta
Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek organisers are looking to expand overseas and grow international participation in the regatta over the next five years. With international promotions, a series of road trips to key markets and Phuket's growing appeal as a world-class sailing destination, organisers are confident in growing the regatta's international footprint and attracting more charterers for the 2019 event and beyond.
"We have seen a steady increase in the number of charterers competing in the regatta in recent years and this is an area we want to grow further. Australia is an exciting market with a high population of sailors and a strong awareness of Phuket already. This is a market we are investing in for the future growth of the regatta," said Byron Jones, managing director of organisers Media Business Services Co. Ltd.
"We went to Australia and visited a number of Australian yacht clubs last year. While promoting Phuket Raceweek we were also promoting sailing in Phuket, and the response we had was overwhelming. We were welcomed with open arms wherever we went and it was very encouraging to learn how many Australian sailors already knew of Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek. It can be a costly exercise for an international crew to fly to Phuket, charter a boat, rent accommodation and compete, but the interest is there and the numbers are growing, and since our trip we have received new entries from Australia which is a great start."
The 16th edition of Cape Pawna Hotel Phuket Raceweek will take place July 17-21, 2019, headquartered at the five-star Cape Panwa Hotel on the island's southeast coast. Entries are being received from sailors around the world and highlights of just some of the boats entered in the monohull classes include the TP52 Team Hollywood, two Sydney 40s (East Marine Emagine and Aquari), Farrgo Express and Phoenix, while in the Cruising class Kantus Bride, Chinon – a new entry from Australia – Lady Bubbly and BeauX Esprits have already entered.
Known for its large multihull fleet, organisers expect to split the entries into three classes this year; Firefly 850 Sports One Design, Multihull Racing and Corsair Pulse 600s. Currently entries have been received in all classes and four locally-based Corsair Pulse 600s have been chartered by overseas crews.

Sculpture by the Sea, Aarhus is Denmark's biggest and a unique outdoor sculpture exhibition. Along Aarhus scenic coast line sculptures are presented on the beach, the waterfront and in the forest. The exhibition area is accessible at any hour and free to the public.
We offer free guided tours every weekend, and thanks to a huge support from various partners we also offer hundreds of additional events for everyone – varying from art lectures to sports and fun workshops for children. All activities are posted online during the summer.
In June 2009 Sculpture by the Sea Aarhus – Denmark was launched, in association with the City of Aarhus and ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, under the patronage of The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark.
The initiative to establish the exhibition in Scandinavia came from The Crown Prince Couple's familiarity with, and enthusiasm for, the Bondi Exhibition, which they visited as part of Sculpture by the Sea's 15th anniversary celebrations.
With an estimated half a million visitors both 2009, 2011 and 2013 Sculpture by the Sea, Aarhus – Denmark is a fantastic success, embraced by the Danes and the many international tourists. In 2015 we will exhibit 57 works from artists/groups from 24 different countries.
Sculpture by the Sea, Aarhus – Denmark is financially and legally independent of Sculpture by the Sea Incorporated and is being produced by the city of Aarhus in collaboration with ARoS Aarhus Art Museum at neither cost nor profit to the Australian organisation.

As you may or may not have noticed we've been dropping the ban hammer on a number of accounts deemed to be hacking. [GM]SparrowHawk and I thought it may be a good idea to outline what exactly one should do (or not do) when this occurs. There have been cases in the past where innocent people have been banned, and we've been trying our best to minimize this. Hopefully this will help everyone understand our process and how best to present your case.
Submitting Tickets
The first thing to do when you find yourself on the blunt end of a ban hammer is to submit a ticket. It could very well be a mistake and support will be more than happy to review the case. Having said that please only submit 1 ticket. Nothing grinds their gears more than finding a dozen tickets saying the same thing. It wastes their and everyone else's time, and if you do it support may ban your ability to submit any more tickets. Furthermore when submitting a ticket please remain cordial and be respectful. Swearing at support will not help your case and will make things worse for you.
Getting a response
Hopefully within 1 or 2 days you will get a response. Most of these responses are pre canned from a drop down menu. This is done to expedite the ticket process, and is done for pretty much every issue. Rest assured support reads through all tickets. There is no bot sending out auto responses.
Regen Hacks
This is the most common and easily detected of the hacks. If you get a reply back saying this was the issue then your account is pretty much done for. We don't care if it was a "friend" who was on your account doing it, or if you "don't know" how that happened. If we find multiple instances of Regen Hacks in our logs the account gets banned. Recently both myself and [GM]SparrowHawk have began reading through the hack logs line by line every day, which is a practice we intend to continue.
Any type of botting, whether it be of the software or hardware variety is not allowed. Depending on the circumstance you may receive a temporary or permanent ban for this. It can be difficult for us to determine when someone is botting vs when someone only appears to be botting. So there are a couple things you can do to help protect yourself. If someone accuses you of botting in game DO NOT remain silent. Even if it's just a "no I'm not" that can go a long way in proving your innocence. Not standing in one place and spamming a single attack also helps. Just act like a normal human would to avoid these types of confrontations.
Kill Stealing
KSing is another ticket support often gets. In order to successfully submit a ticket on this issue you must provide evidence. The best way to do this is by submitting a video. Pics only work if the party in question admits they are KSing in the chat box. Still images do not inform support of who was there first or who is KSing.
Inappropriate behavior
Another common ticket is in regards to inappropriate behavior. This includes excessive swearing, harassment (both sexual and nonsexual) and bullying. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior and will gladly hand out 7 day minimum ban for first time offences, a month long ban for second time offense and finally perm bans for anything more than that. Also note that any inappropriate behavior directed at GMs or support staff is a really... REALLY bad idea.
Account Sharing
While this is not a bannable offense if we determine you have shared your account with someone else you will be refused service from support. So if you get banned and your excuse is "my friend did it on my account" then the ban will stay and no further service will be provided.
Playing at Cybercafe's/Public locations
Live account sharing this is not a bannable offense, but support will refuse service to any account playing from a public location. This includes cyber cafe's, libraries or any computer which can be accessed by the general public.
You may ask for evidence when submitting your ticket, but please don't demand it. Support is under no obligation to hand out evidence and a lot of the time they simply can't give evidence due to several reasons. The first reason is to protect the individual(s) who reported them. Since support gets a lot of screenshots with both the reporter and reported we cannot post them for all to see. Think of it as doctor patient confidentiality. Secondly in the case where we find suspicious activity in our logs we do not want to post our logs for anyone to see. If we were to give a hacker a portion of our logs they may be able to glean information from that to bypass our security measures. This is almost always the case with Regen hacks.
Accounts banned in 2013
If your account was banned in or before the year 2013 then we will not review your case. This applies to anyone who has been banned and given a reason. We keep a history log of why we ban people. If you do not know why you were banned it may be the case that your account got blocked when we did the merge. In that case support will double check to make sure that was the reason. However if you were banned for hacking or anything like that in or before 2013 then no review will happen.
Ept Ranking
On occasion support gets tickets which point to the Ept ranking page. While this is a fairly good tool to double check accounts, we do not ban solely based off these rankings. This is because they are not as reliable as they could be. For example if a player had played in 2010 and took a few years off, only to come back in 2014 they would suddenly appear on the Ept rankings. Of course this makes it look like they were level hacking when they were not. If you do suspect someone of level hacking we do urge you to submit a ticket. We will cross examine the Ept rankings with our logs to determine if any hacks were used. Just keep in mind that the Ept rankings alone will not get anyone banned.

News (11th January)
On Tuesday last, the ninth of January, our senior basketball panel took on St. Benildus College, Stillorgan in a preliminary qualifier for the All-Ireland League play-offs. The match was delicately balanced during the first and second quarters but Thurles began to pull away from their opponents in the second half thanks to some excellent scores from Sean Mockler, Adam Derby, Jonathon Ely, Liam Kenny and Patrick O Gorman. In the end, a 42 to 34 point victory ensured that the CBS progressed to the league play-offs which will be held in St. Oliver's Community School, Drogheda on the 21st of January. On that day the panel will play three matches: their opposition hailing from St. Oliver's, St. Columb's of Derry and Carrick-on-Shannon. We wish them the best of luck.
Harty Cup
This year's Harty Cup campaign came to a disappointing end last Wednesday when the panel, despite a committed and valiant challenge, was defeated by Midleton CBS by a single point in the competition quarter-final which was played in Clonmel. Thurles trailed by a point at half-time ( 0-10, 1-6) and having fallen behind by three, gamely reduced the margin to one point as they finished the second half strongly. Alas, they could not get the score they needed to tie or win the game and eventually lost out on a scoreline of 15 points to 1-11. It is always disappointing to lose by such a narrow margin but the panel gave their all and can be proud of their efforts. The school would like to thank the players for the commitment and dedication they showed over the course of the year and would also like to thank their parents and their clubs for the help and support that they provided during the campaign. We now look forward to next year's competition.
Hurling Challenges
Our White Cup panel played a challenge match against Ard Scoil Ris last Tuesday while our Rice Cup A and B panels continued their preparations for their upcoming blitzes by taking on teams from De la Salle last Thursday

Important Business Advice That Shouldn't Be Disregarded
One typical reason for the failure of businesses are their finances. It's how they are handling their finances which will set the course of their business. Ensuring that you are doing cash flow forecasts on a regular basis can help in predicting future income as well as expenditure. Aside from that, cash flow forecasts are vital tool when talking about planning for future and ensuring that your business can react fast to the changes in its financial matters.
When you are putting together financial forecast, it'll be smart to try to be as realistic as possible and don't overestimate your income. You've got to keep abreast of what's happening in the market and also, apply your expertise and knowledge when doing estimates.
Aside from flow forecast, see to it that there is an overall business plan as well. Try to stick to it as close as possible and update it on a regular basis at the same time. In the event that this is the first time you compile a business plan, then it is imperative to allot time performing research of the industry as well as the market that your business is in. If you have plans to present it to bank to get for a loan, then make it a point that there is 6 months in advance of plans available. While doing so, see to it that everything is concise and accurate. Assuming that you have developed a good professional relationship with the bank, your next move should be to maintain it and use their business advice.
Aside from financial stability, your skill in personal management is equally important. A businessperson or entrepreneur must have remarkable leadership skill. From word to go, you'll be talking to several stakeholders which is the main reason why it's vital to have good communication skills. This is what helps you in maintaining healthy relationship between the business and the stakeholders. After your business has acquired staffs and starting to grow, the responsibilities will all fall on your leadership skills. If you're not confident with your abilities and skills in managing a group of people, then consider taking a management course.
Always remember that there is no specific way that a leader acts because it's your personality that will mold and form it. For this reason, it must reflect in the way you are interacting and supervising with others. One important role to become a successful leader is to show vision and aspiration to employees. Furthermore, good leadership skills are the key to motivating your staffs and creating a warm and welcoming office environment.

Neighbourhood Plans
Planning News & NotesMarch - April 2019
The chairmanship of the Planning and Environment Committee has now passed to Pauline Crump, an active member of the Committee for several years, who brings a lively interest in all the matters that the Committee is involved in. Our retiring Chairman Pru Bollam has been a Committee member for many years, making her own knowledgeable and invaluable contribution, both to this Committee and to the Society as a whole. We are very pleased that Pru will be continuing as a member of the Committee.
Following a lull in the early part of this year, more planning applications have now appeared on the Council's register. We had wondered whether the absence of applications was a result of the Christmas holidays, or a Brexit phenomenon, or related to the impending change of our local authorities. Now the latter has happened, and we are in an odd limbo, with no local Councillors until May, and a totally new 'Dorset Council' joining us all together, with combined staff presumably trying to grapple with the new arrangements. One consequence of this is a completely different website for looking up information on planning applications, which we have had to learn afresh. At least the planning application information is still there, once we have found it. What will happen to the local plan preparation, now that 'West Dorset / Weymouth & Portland' has been merged with the other local authorities, we have yet to discover.
16 LANSDOWNE SQUARE, RODWELLThere has been a happy outcome to concerns about the planning application for residential development on a single bungalow site at the end of the road in Lansdowne Square (see our comments in Sept/Oct News). The proposal, originally for six houses crammed on to this modest site, was objected to as heavy over development by our own Society and numerous local residents. After a while the number was reduced to five, but still appeared to us excessive. Potential effects on the Rodwell Trail were also noted, as the new layout included a building close to the slope down to the Trail. Now, despite a recommendation of approval by the planning officer, it has been roundly refused by the Council as over development, unduly cramped, with a dominating and overbearing impact by reason of its mass and scale.
84 WYKE ROADWe have made a strong objection to the proposed demolition of 84 Wyke Road and its replacement by a new modern house of starkly contrasting character. The existing detached dwelling is well integrated with the pleasant suburban neighbourhood, forming a pair with the adjacent house. We find the design of its proposed replacement to be awkward, with multiple elements and an assortment of window shapes and sizes. Its three-storey front section would project several metres forward of the other nearby houses, dominating the scene. In both its form and materials it would be an intrusive element among the surrounding, more traditional houses.
We had expressed serious misgivings about the proposed access from the major new housing development of Curtis Fields on to Lanehouse Rocks Road at a point half way up the steep hill that leads to Wyke. Unfortunately, as we acknowledged, this location had already been indicated when outline planning permission was granted for the housing development, so it is no great surprise that in the end this has been approved. The effects on traffic on this already awkward main route to Portland are yet to be experienced!
Permission has now been granted for the works to remove a modern shopfront and restore this building's facade to its original Georgian appearance – a proposal which we have supported. As this is a complicated undertaking, opening up the basement area, with new railings, the Council has wisely applied conditions to ensure that the final details are appropriate to this historic building.
To help deal with the problem of lack of toilet facilities on the Esplanade, the Council has come up with a proposal to convert the former TIC building near the King's Statue (described in the application as 'Beach Control Office') to public conveniences. There is to be an enlarged Beach Control Office on the first floor, in an over-sailing extension jutting out towards the beach. We very much support the provision of facilities at this central location, but we envisage problems with the proposed arrangement – that is, a long line of 15 unisex WC cubicles opening outwards directly on to the main promenade, all along the seaward side of the building. We can envisage numerous problems with this arrangement, including the unattractive aspect of such a long row of toilet doors, and the embarrassment and discomfort of those waiting their turn in this very public and often windswept location – much of which would be solved by a conventional arrangement with internal facilities in an enclosed space away from the elements and from obstructing the promenade at this narrowed point.
SOME REASONS TO BE CHEERFULAs reported in the Dorset Echo
Wonderful news about the new steps to Castle Cove Beach – the result of tremendous efforts by the Friends of Castle Cove Beach and many other bodies and individuals.
King George III and his accompanying lion and unicorn have now undergone a splendid restoration, thanks to the Borough Council – a worthy project achieved just before the Council's disappearance.Also deserving of accolade is the fine refurbishment of the Victorian seafront shelters.The Pavilion Theatre's new lighting has received much acclaim, added to the improvement works to the building itself.

What if you knew that $143,000 down could get a Retiree into this beautiful home in this fantastic retirement community for $284,900.
Well, it does! See the listing HERE
The new FHA Retirement Friendly financing program is happening all over the United States. Its Called the HECM for Purchase. Download the Free Buyers Guide at www.RightSizeRetirement.com
However, for the real estate agent and builder who doesn't know how it works, they are missing out not only on a competitive advantage but on the ability to sell more houses at higher price points!
Recently I was in a fantastic community called Watson Run in Intercourse PA. (See community below). I have a client purchasing in that community and their house will be completed in February. What is fantastic is that they can buy the house they really wanted (not the model, but the one with the options and upgrades, like the walk in bathtub they added) without impacting their budget.
That's because they are using the HECM for Purchase to do the financing, therefore they did not have to spend all of their departure home proceeds and will have much left over to enjoy all of their retirement.
Since 2008 and as part of the Homeowners Economic Recovery Act, retirees over the age of 62 can access FHA's Retirement Friendly Financing.
No Minimum FICO Score Requirements
No Monthly Mortgage Payments
No Standard Income Verification's
(Homeowner must show ability to meet monthly obligations of taxes, insurance, association fees etc.)
How Does it Work
What Retiree Would Benefit From This Type of Financing?
Those Who Wanted To Only Pay Around $143,000 to Get a $285,000 Home. Meaning, the buyer only wants to put around 50% down!
Those Who Don't Want to Have To Make required Monthly Payments during their retirement years.
Those Who Don't Want To Spend Cash from Proceeds or Investments.
Those Who Wanted Additional Upgrades But Didn't Have the Money.
Those Who Did NOT Sell Their Departure Home For as Much as They Wanted (Imagine the relief to the buyer, knowing they don't have to get a certain $$ from their departure sale…It takes a lot of pressure off the agent and seller)
Those Who Don't Want to Shovel, Rake or Worry About Deferred Maintenance Any More.
Those Who Want to Have Extra Retirement Income to Live on AFTER they Moved in.
If This is Real then Why Aren't More Retirees Doing This?
(See this Page for Video Testimonies of Real Borrowers)
It is the fastest way in America Retirees are changing their retirement. But less than 10% of real estate professionals know about this FHA Government sponsored program. Since its inception it has been exploding. The real question is why haven't you begun implementing this into your own strategy

Stephen Tobolowsky is one of those actors that you've seen in hundreds of things, but never knew his name.
He's a wonderful character actor that has made appearances in a lot of memorable films like Spaceballs, Memento, Groundhog Day and Thelma & Louise.
Apparently he's also a very gifted storyteller, and had some great ones to share with the Daily Actor blog ( el2.convertkit-mail2.com/c/mvu4xxl2p8h5h789mx/6qhehou7vw46e/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGFpbHlhY3Rvci5jb20vaW50ZXJ2aWV3L3N0ZXBoZW4tdG9ib2xvd3NreS1zdHJhbmdlLW5hdHVyZS8= ).
Including the story of when he was shooting the film Strange Nature down in Jamaica. He said the really tough scenes during that films were the ones they had to shoot out in the woods in the middle of the night.
And they were all terrified because they woke up one morning on set to little notes saying that everyone needed to slather their feet and ankles with Deet so as to avoid the giant cow ticks that are apparently prevalent in the Jamaican woods.
Probably not the thing you want to hear right before you're about to trudge out into the middle of them to shoot a movie all night.
Another great story was him explaining the birds and the bees to his son.
He told his son that you should never make love to a woman out in the woods, or on a beach, or really anywhere outdoors.
His firm opinion was that all lovemaking should happen in a bedroom, preferably with a lock on the door, the air conditioning on, and the TV remote within arm's reach.
So Mr. Tobolowsky doesn't sound like he's probably the most adventurous person when it comes to the bedroom. But he's had an amazing career in film and television, with a lot of great stories and insights.
Another story that he told was how he lived next to a big casting director.
The casting director neighbor thought he'd be perfect for a certain role, so he passed him a script over the fence between their two houses. Tobolowsky auditions for the role, and a little bit later the casting director neighbor finds him at home one night.
He tells Tobolowsky that they loved him, want to offer him the role, and can probably pay him $25,000 a week.
So not long after that, Tobolowsky gets a call from his agent at William Morris, talking to him about that very same role.
The agent tells him that the role is open, and that he thinks that he could get him booked on the film without even audition, and that it would pay $15,000 a week.
Oh, really?!
He plays along and tells his agent that he's interested but really wanted some more money than that. So his agent "makes some calls", and comes back to tell Tobolowsky that he was able to negotiate them up to $17,500 a week!
And of course, the agent was not being upfront.
He was doing something that probably most agents do, which is try to get several of their talent cast in a show by telling the casting directors that they all agreed to work for lower rates, but only if they all get cast.
This way the agent gets multiple people booked on the gig, and higher commissions for himself, even though it might mean less money for some of those individual actors.
It's all part of the crazy game of Hollywood.
And it sounds insane, but it really is better to play that game and have a good agent that represents you because they'll be able to get you way more opportunities and bigger paychecks (well, usually) than you would trying to make a go at it on your own.
But how do you find a good agent?
It can be tough, but I've given you what I think is some pretty solid advice in this article.
It won't guarantee that you'll get an agent to love you, but it will set you on the right path to find a good agent that will work hard to further your acting career.

Clinozoisite tumbled crystal
A NEW addition!
Clinozoisite is a member of the Epidote family. It is a rich, complex sorosilicate of calcium and aluminium and is usually a grey green in colour. This soft pink variety, aptly termed the 'Sacred Heart' stone, is a new find from Namibia. It carries a deeply moving vibration of clarity and higher understanding.
Not to be confused with Thulite, which looks very similar and is also a silicate mineral.
A excellent crystal to use while detoxing the body, especially after periods of radiation. Because its healing influence is most felt in the Heart and Solar Plexus chakras, Clinozoisite helps to ease the grief of a broken heart, providing a space for forgiveness and self-empowerment through challenge.
Clinozoisite carries the same propertites of Epidote, including balancing energy flow, encourgaing healing, well-being and an enhanced knowing that 'all is well'. A hopeful and comforting crystal through periods of change and stress.
Strongly linked to the angelic realms.
Size - Medium (20 - 30 mm)
Origin - Namibia (a new find)
Our beautiful crystals have been enhanced with Atlantean Crystal Healing™ energy and of course, lots of EL love! and are on special offer while stocks last.

This week, KitSplit sat down to chat with Cory Choy, a founding member of Silver Sound Studios, about his work in sound production.
KitSplit: Tell us a little bit about your studio and work.
Cory: Silver Sound is an Emmy award-winning sound studio in Manhattan. We are a team of sound superheroes who do both production and post-production sound recording and mixing. These days I find myself in the studio more often than not, but I also go out in the field to record audio — I'm particularly excited this year to do more VR work with our Soundfield Ambisonic microphones (SPS200). I've worked on independent films and TV shows, commercials, and even installations for fine artists.
K: What parts of your work are you most proud of?
C: Well, it's always hard to say what my most anything is, but I am very proud of being the Supervising Sound Editor for the last two Troma films: Return To Nuke 'Em High Part 1 and Poultrygeist. There was a scene in Poultrygeist that was hard to conceptualize sonically — a character actually defecated himself out of his own rectum — and my team really nailed the landing on that one. There's a film I sound supervised recently, Driftwood, that was recorded completely without sound on set — and that just premiered at Slamdance on January 24th! But in addition to being proud of my and my team's work, I am proud and grateful that I am able to make a living in New York City doing what I love: sound for the indie film world.
K: Can you tell us a little about the post sound process?
C: Sound design and mix is first and foremost about making sure you understand the vision of the person you are collaborating with: everything you're doing with sound should reinforce the story they are trying to tell. There's the technical end — edit, denoise, restoration, etc. — and the creative end, which is sound design and creation. The last bit is mix, where the entire piece is gone over with a fine tooth comb to adjust volume, EQ, and reverb. On a narrative movie, 10 minutes of movie will usually take around 8 hours to mix.
K: What is your most-used or favorite piece of gear?
C: In the studio it's hands down the DAW Reaper, the noise reduction suite Izotope RX, ValhallaRoom and RoomVerb for reverb, and EQuality for EQ. On set as a team we are big fans of the Zaxcom Nomad and Maxx, the Sound Devices 633 and 688, Lectrosonics Wireless, Schoeps microphones (all of them), DPA and Sanken microphones (almost all of them), K-Tek for bags and harnesses, and probably a few more things I'm forgetting to mention! Personally, though, for small documentary work I'm absolutely in love with my little Wendt X3 audio mixer. The thing is a tank. The batteries last forever. It sounds great. It's simple. I've taken it all over the world — over 15 countries on three different continents — and it has never let me down. It's a real shame that it was recently discontinued. Luckily, we've got three over here at Silver Sound!
K: What are your favorite parts of sound production for documentaries?
C: Some documentaries I have been lucky enough to be a part of, such as Cultures of Resistance, have changed the way I look at the world. I love being able to meet new people, see and experience cultures different than mine. Documentary filmmaking lets me travel and see a bit of the world. One thing that's kind of nice about travelling as part of a crew is that I'm not just a tourist. We have an agenda. More often than not, we're going to interview someone or experience something particularly interesting or important — but being part of the crew allows for some distance from and perspective about what we are doing or who we are talking to.
K: What's the best piece of advice you got when starting out?
C: To spend time and thought finding the most elegant solution for problems. The best possible solution may not necessarily be industry standard or the most common. Then again, it might be. One needs to try things out for themselves.
K: What advice would you offer to others starting out in sound?
C: I don't really feel like I should be giving too much advice. Even though I've been doing sound for ten years, I feel like there's so much more to learn. More than giving advice, I want to be getting advice! I hope that I will always be open and looking to learn more.

Rosacea: A Common Skin Condition
Rosacea is a common skin condition that usually affects men and women over 30 years of age. It is less common in younger individuals, but can certainly occur. Shereen Timani, M.D., at Johns Creek Dermatology is experienced in handling dermatological conditions such as rosacea. Common symptoms of this ailment include redness of the cheeks and nose. Sometimes there can a sensation of soreness or burning in the eyes. It can also occur on other areas of the face including the forehead or chin. In some instances, small bumps that resemble pimples can appear in the areas of redness. Since this condition affects the facial region, people who suffer from rosacea may, consequently, develop low self-esteem or avoid social events.
This skin condition is not uncommon and flare-ups may be caused by a variety of factors. Pregnancy, hormonal changes, stress, and alcohol consumption can increase the likelihood of flare-ups. Spicy foods, climate changes, and stress can also have an impact. Women suffering from this condition should carefully read the ingredients on makeup labels. Using foundation or powder on the face may aggravate the skin. Dr. Timani and other leading dermatologists recommend using makeups that are oil-free. Mineral makeup is also preferable to products containing talc. It is important to keep a diary of your stress levels, weather and foods to see what personally triggers a flare-up.
Although there is no known cure, there are a variety of treatment options available. Dr. Timani at Johns Creek Dermatology can help diagnose and treat this irritating skin condition. The most common form of treatment is medication prescribed by a doctor. These may be pills or a cream applied directly to the reddened skin. Antibiotics given in low doses may be used to keep the condition under control. Topical creams applied to the skin may include azelaic acid or metronizadole. Lasers usually aren't the first choice for treatment but may be utilized when medications have failed. If small blood vessels are visible, a type of laser known as an intense pulsed light may be used. To protect the irritated skin sunscreen and moisturizers may be recommended.
Each patient is unique; therefore, results will vary.
If you are suffering from patches of red skin or symptoms as described above on your face, you should schedule a consultation at Johns Creek Dermatology. Dr. Timani, our board-certified dermatologist, can determine if you have Rosacea and devise an effective treatment plan. Her office is located in Johns Creek and serves the surrounding communities of Roswell, GA, Alpharetta, Milton, and Duluth, GA.

"The good old days, the good old days,
we all so fondly speak of—
which, if they ever should come back,
no one could stand a week of."
When I was a kid, my father had a shelf of language books—joke books, grammar commentaries, collections of limericks, and the like. This shelf was, for a time, in a bookcase located in what I used as my bedroom on the weekends Dad had visitation. A good many of the poetry collections were rather ribald, and Dad commanded that I not read these once I had read about half of a volume and started looking various things up in the dictionary that were decidedly, in Dad's words, blue. Of course this meant I read them all the more fervently, especially once he moved them to a higher shelf, until, in exasperation (and with not a little nagging from his then-wife), he took them to some other place altogether. By the time I was old enough to ask where they had gone and be answered, he'd plum forgotten where he'd put the books in the several moves he'd had since. I have no idea what happened to those—save one, which has somehow come to me and is sitting on my own language shelf—but oddly, the above rhyme is the only one I remember from all that secret reading.
I'm not sure if that's a shame or a gift.
I think of it often, though, especially on holidays of commemoration. Don't misunderstand me: I wish all of my American readers a very cordial (and slightly belated) Independence Day, and I tip my hat to any British readers who know better than to take the celebrations personally. But I'm always rather amused by the fervor with which Americans greet the 4th of July, proclaiming the greatness of this Grand Experiment as a beacon to the world, perhaps having lost a bit of luster but right as rain if only it would get a good shine.
I went with a friend of mine to see The Lone Ranger yesterday—I have a fondness for the old radio show, so I was curious to see how it would fare under the weight of Disney's Pirates flair. It wasn't that great a film; it was entertaining, sure, but in a scattered sort of way. I will say, however, that whoever decided to release this on Independence Day was a genius.
Whether intentionally or not, it's a discomforting film. If you don't know, The Lone Ranger was originally a 30s radio show following the adventures of Kemosabe/John Reid and Tonto, his Indian [Native American] sidekick, through the American West in the late 19th century. As you can imagine, this made good use of the ideas of cowboys and Indians—both to uphold and to shatter the ideas of heroes and "savages." And here's the discomforting; how do you bring that kind of relationship into the very politically correct 21st century?
There is no way to film that kind of storyline without at least a nod to the treacherous, blood-filled history between European settlers and Native Americans. And I must say, in credit to Disney, they don't actively try to hide this (though they are right ready with a joke line on the heels of any scene of Native American slaughter).
So to have this film of the Great American West and its white-hatted heroes parading out nostalgic storylines from the Golden Age of Radio and Television on the holiday of American stubbornness and desperation against the British Empire is one thing, but to then couple that with such a dark chapter in the nation's history as the near-eradication of the indigenous peoples in the name of "progress," "Christianization," or "civilization" is just a brilliant stroke, I think. Because America is great; I'm still living here, and while my heart is forever elsewhere, I don't mind it so much. But it isn't perfect, and it never has been, and I feel like we gloss that sometimes.
I don't want to rag on the country, especially on what is effectively its birthday. That's just mean. I have great respect for what some people do with this holiday: there are those who don't forget how displeased we are with a government that spies, and those who are keeping close tabs on the American response to Egypt, and others who are very aware that celebrating a day of freedom and independence probably means we should still have things that feel like freedom and independence. But I do find it interesting that, on this day, we talk about the beauty of the red, white, and blue and we praise the bravery of our soldiers and we talk about the founding fathers as if we have any real idea what they were thinking at the moment of shaking their historical fists at King George. We speak of the brilliance and spirit of the good old days and how that is our model, our aspiration, and (while I realize I'm mixing historical time periods) yet we can be so much better than that time. The good old days weren't perfect, just as the current days aren't perfect, and when we say things like "God Bless America" we should be asking ourselves if we want God in the other countries, too, or if we want God's blessings to cement us as what we are or stretch us to being a country worthy of the world stage on which we place ourselves.
In the spirit of every age longing for the one before, I give you a 1950s show that feels like a smash between 12 Angry Men, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and The Twilight Zone. It's an hour, which I know no one has, but take it anyway and watch this. Seriously. It's worth it. (Also, there are hilarious oldey-timey commercials, which are almost worth the price of admission by themselves.) Westinghouse Studio One presents: An Almanac of Liberty, with dramatic music.
And have a happy and safe holiday weekend; seek freedom, and ask yourself from what you need to be independent.
And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Daniel 2:44, ASV)

RMS Geocoder: Purpose-Built to Quickly Provide Relevant and Accurate Risk Management Data
When it comes to high gradient perils like flood, storm surge, and wildfire, the quality and accuracy of geocoding can make or break your model.
In this critical process, a difference of feet can mean the difference between total loss, or none at all. So why rely on commodity geocoders not built for insurance use cases?
The Market's Leading Global Geocoding Dataset
RMS curates the most accurate sources of building perimeters, points of interest, land parcels, street networks, post codes, and insurance market-defined boundaries to create the most innovative reference data. The result? Unsurpassed accuracy in your global geocoding process.
Exposure Weighted Centroids
The exact geographic centroid of a post code is irrelevant for risk management purposes if there's no exposure in its vicinity. RMS provides coordinates weighted to exposure density to enable more accuracy in your analytics.
Thoughtful Change Management
Every year administrative boundaries change, postal codes are updated, street networks shift, and territories are redrawn. Yet, many geocoders make these updates without concern to the end user. RMS geospatial engineers provide detailed and thoughtful change management summaries to help you handle the impact of data changes.
Confidence Quantified
How do you know if a geocoded address is accurate? What if you're modeling flood in an area where the street is long, the parcels are large, and the terrain is hilly? RMS models provide natively calculated "confidence areas" to quantify the uncertainty and enable sensitivity testing.
Comprehensive Documentation
Tired of black box technology in your spatial analytics? The RMS geocoder is the market's most transparent and comprehensively documented solution. Go ahead and dig into the results and ask "why". We've got you covered.
