Florida HOA Accounting
Florida is, of course, one of the best places in the country to live if you like great weather and white beaches. There's really nothing quite like the spectacular blue water and white beaches of Florida. But there's a lot more that makes Florida a great place to live. Florida is one of the most diverse states in the country so if you value diversity and you want to live surrounded by many different cultures Florida is the place to be. Florida also has a great blend of fast-paced big city life, arts and culture, and slower-paced beach life. Large cities are easily accessible and the water is almost always just a short drive away from anywhere in Florida. Florida is surprisingly affordable and it's easy to find great properties that won't break the bank. That's why Florida has such a great mix of people. Once you've experienced life in Florida you won't want to put down roots anywhere else.
HOA Accounting and Self Managed Communities

Outrageous Fortunes: The Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy (Unabridged)
Written By: Daniel Altman
Written By: William Hughes
Length:7 hours and 16 minutes
Customer Rating :3.7
Retail Price:
Audiobook Summary: As individuals, companies, and countries struggle to recover from the economic crisis, many are narrowly focused on forecasts for the next week, month, or quarter. Yet they should be asking what the global economy will look like in the years to come - where will the long-term risks and opportunities arise? These are the questions that Daniel Altman confronts in his provocative and indispensable book. The fate of the global economy, Altman argues, will be determined by deeper factors than those that move markets from moment to moment. His incisive analysis brings together hidden trends, societal pressures, and policy endgames to make 12 surprising but logical predictions about the years ahead. And his forecasts for the future raise a pressing question for today: with so many challenges awaiting us, are our political and economic institutions up to the task? Outrageous Fortunes shows which industries will grow, which economies will crumble, which investments will pay off, and where the next big crisis may occur. Altman's carefully reasoned text is an essential guide for the road ahead.

Five Benefits of Exercise Bike Training
Bike training offers a simple solution to some serious health issues many faces including obesity and cardiovascular disease. Here a list of five benefits that make training on an exercise bike at home or at a gym an effective addition to your workout routine.
1- Ease of Use & Convenience
Fitness can't get any easier than this. You climb and start peddling. You want to increase the intensity, peddle faster, you want to take it easy peddle slower.
With the built-in friction control and preset programming, you can program your exercise bike to do that part of the thinking even for you so that you can relax and enjoy an efficient ride to fitness.
Ease of use and convenience helps adherence to an exercise program. Many people fail in reaching fitness goals because they don't stick with it. A fitness bike makes it easier for you to stick with it.
2- Affordable
You can get used professional grade exercise bikes cheap. You can also get some good quality bikes in $200-$500 range. Most of these bikes last for years without any maintenance. And you don't have to deal with the hassle of the gym membership renewal and additional monthly fees.
3- Appropriate
There are a lot of exercise programs and routines out there. Many of them aren't suitable for beginners or those who have joint problems.
A beginner and most people who do have joint problems could still use the no impact biking to build strength and get in shape.
Just remember that every exercise equipment has limitations and continuous use without variation would create muscle imbalances. The bike is not an exception. You still have to think through what you do and pay attention to your body.
4- Fat Loss
When obesity interferes with motion, it creates additional complications including loss of muscle mass which makes it even harder to move. Those with weight loss challenges usually suffer from joint damage as well.
A dual action bike that engages the entire body is a safe way to exercise at an effective intensity rate to build muscle and long enough to lose fat without damaging the joints.
5- Complementary
Bike training could easily fit into other forms of exercise. You can warm up and cool down on a bike. You can use slow long rides on a bike to burn fat. You can increase the intensity of the bike to burn sugar to improve your fat loss.
You can even ride your bike to relax your mind or mix up your routine to elevate the boredom and keep it interesting.

The lazy salesperson and the overachiever Part I
The administrators of systems that require data entry by sales people loathe the overachiever. We all know this person, they blow their quota out of the water, go to countless club trips, and make a wad of money that would make Al Capone turn over in his grave. Yes, this person gets praise heaped upon them by many individuals with the exception of one.
You, the person who has to clean up their mess, because while they are great at closing (and have the coffee to show it), they are terrible at entering anything they did. This leaves us with the unenviable task of fixing their mistakes and dreaming up ways to make it easier to get the information from their over inflated heads.
Let's first start at looking how we fix the data quality problems.
Everyone has a CRM, whether it be SalesForce.com, SalesNexus, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. This is where the problems begin. I can tell you as a sales person and as a manager that a half hearted effort is given by any salesperson worth their salt to putting information in there. Why you say? Because we are too busy selling, establishing contact and following up…signing contracts. As silly as it seems, the amount of effort put into filling in the electronic blue sheet, can be daunting.
Have you ever seen someone get excited about doing an expense report, it's the same thing. The critical difference here is the mechanism by which you can ensure that the salespeople are following up, using a process that works for all the support groups. Really it is on the organization in this case, to convince the person it is in their best interest to input the information.
Many groups will withhold pay, if it's not in the CRM it didn't happen. While this can work, it also helps to make the CRM more intuitive. Use language that is commonly used in your company and cater it logically to the sales process the group follows. This brings us to workflow.
Workflow is there to systematically guide us to data entry. It allows us to effectively communicate the information needed and the way to obtain it in an easy stepped process. Often we see this simply as a way to communicate a sales plan or disputes. If there is information missing, workflow can quickly go back to the salesperson to ask for assistance in exactly what it was they meant in the system.
This is a good alternative, rather than stalling the transaction due to lack of information. The nice thing about workflow is you can setup a system of rules that can force action or entry based on what the individual does.
Guided selling systems like CPQ can have a tremendous affect on the quality of data. One of the biggest problems that companies have are returns. This guided selling can help limit the returns by customers by allowing them to correctly mix and match products or services.
Countless admins that can clean up the mess. These people truly loathe the salesperson, even though they wouldn't have a job if it weren't for them.

Each year Race for Life events sweep across the country encouraging women and girls to run, jog or walk 5km to raise awareness of cancer and tonight Race for Life arrives in Stoke-on-Trent.
Here in Stoke-on-Trent Trentham Gardens are hosting the annual event where runners, joggers and walkers get to enjoy the gardens and run around the lake as part of the Race for Life 5km route. Hundreds of local ladies are expected to join in the fun and relish the chance to remember loved ones who have suffered from cancer, celebrate those who have recovered and support possible cures and preventions of the disease.
Race for Life is a fantastic chance to support Cancer Research and always proves to be great fun. I know that lots of ladies chose to do their Race for Life with a group of friends for extra support and to ensure they have a wonderful time.
The Bath-Knight team and I would like to wish fellow colleague, Beth Ackley, all the very best as she's taking part in tonight's Race for Life and the Race for Life in Stafford next month- a fantastic effort. And of course, our very best wishes go out to all the local ladies joining the Race for Life this evening. Enjoy yourself and raise lots of money for a brilliant cause!
Olympic Torch travel through Stoke-On-TrentMay 31, 2012 at 1:38 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Only 12 days into the Olympic Torch Relay the Olympic Torch has made it to Bath-Knight's hometown, Stoke-On-Trent.
Travelling from Chester and through parts of Shropshire yesterday, the Torch arrived in Stoke-On-Trent late yesterday afternoon with the city's first and only Olympic gold medallist, Imran Sherwani, who won gold in the men's hockey final at the 1988 Olympic Games.
Imran carried the torch to Hanley Forrest Park, which was host to a free celebratory concert in honour of the Olympic Torch's presence in the city. Early this morning the flame travelled through Cobridge, Burlsem and Middleport before making its way to Crewe and on to the North West.
Stoke City FC Manager, Tony Pulis, started today's relay carrying the torch from The Potteries Museum in Hanley before passing it on to another Torchbearer chosen to carry the torch through North Staffordshire.
It's fantastic to see that so many local people made the effort to come out last night and early this morning to see the Olympic Torch pass through the city of Stoke-on-Trent as the event really is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a great pleasure to see.
Further north the torch has reached Jodrell Bank where it went to the top of the telescope with comedian, John Bishop, who recently took part in a mammoth triathlon from Paris to London for Sport Relief. A friend of mine, who saw the torch at Jodrell Bank, has sent over some fantastic photos of the comedian John carrying the torch.
I'd love to know if the Olympic Torch has visited your hometown yet so feel free to leave a comment in the box below.
Hole In The Wall Oatcake shop to finally closeMarch 5, 2012 at 4:58 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

I read an article in The Observer over the weekend which I found rather sad. "End of an era as developers claim the last Potteries oatcake shop" documents the closure of the final traditional oatcake shop here in Staffordshire.
Hole In The Wall which has sold local delicacy -oatcakes- through the front window of a terrace house for the past 30 year will cease trading at the end of March. News of the shop's closure comes after the property was bought from owners Glenn and Sue Fowler by the council ready for demolishment which will further extensive regeneration plans in the city.
It's important to note that Hole In The Wall isn't the last oatcake shop here in Staffordshire (The Observers' headline is a little misleading). There are in fact many other oatcake establishments in the city but none have the classic trademark of serving oatcakes through a sash window.
This trademark is charming and adds a great sense of character to a business which has given so much pleasure to the people of Stoke-On-Trent and visitors from far and wide. As a local business owner myself I feel incredibly sad to hear that such a successful business within the areas is been swept away in such a fashion.
Once given high praised by celebrity chefs The Hairy Biker, the closure of Hole In The Wall will be a sad time for the city of Stoke-On-Trent, who will be forced to say farewell to another successful local business.

This week has been rather exciting for Stoke-on-Trent as the city was paid a royal visited.
On Tuesday Prince Charles visited Middleport Pottery; a grade II listed property which is the only working Victorian Pottery factory here in Staffordshire. Producing Burleigh chinaware since 1888 the factory faced an uncertain future. However, it is now part of The Prince's Regeneration Trust and will receive an investment worth £7.5 million.
The Prince of Wales visited the site to launched the project and see for himself where such wonderful pottery is manufactured. On his visited he spoke with all staff members and even attempted to decorate a piece of pottery himself using the tissue transfer technique.
Such grand visits are often criticised, however, I personally think it's a great way to get the community talking and taking an interested in a project which will offer so much. The investment, which has gone ahead with support from local businessman John Caudwell, has created 45 jobs and will continue to have a positive impact on the pottery industry in Staffordshire.
For those who might not be so taken Prince Charles there was another opportunity to see famous faces this week as pop band JLS were in town making an appearance on local radio station Signal One.
Although I am no expert in boybands it comes as no surprise that JLS went down a storm with local fans – a colleague drove past the studio and saw a huge gathering of fans waiting outside to meet the JLS boys.
It's lovely to see that people are so elated by these visitors. Fitting in perfectly with half-term holidays those lucky enough to have caught a glimpse of Prince Charles or JLS will have something rather special to tell their friends upon returning to school next week.

Milton Carnival- Sunday 17th July 2011July 14, 2011 at 4:37 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Looking into summer holiday activities earlier drew my attention to how much fun simply going to a local park can bring to children, which is why I felt compelled to write a blog about Milton Carnival; a local event taking place this weekend in Stoke-on-Trent.
Organised by Milton Carnival Committee (which includes Natalie Longshaw who works within the accounts department here at Bath-Knight) the carnival is an annual event which is largely enjoyed throughout the community. However, the story behind the carnival runs much deeper than you might presume.
The committee, made from a group of local parents, came together in 2002 after funds by the local council to improve a park in the area were unfortunately declined. Determined on having a safe and friendly park within the community the committee formed and planned to raise funds themselves.
By 2008 the group managed to raise a breath taking £230,000. Their hard work and countless fundraising had paid off as the park was refurbished into a safe and child friendly environment for the community to enjoy.
With great success and community support the committee decided that such a great community spirit should be relished and from there came the idea for a carnival. Since 2009 Milton carnival has taken place annually, parading through the village and then onto the local school for further carnival fun.
Milton carnival is simply a fantastic day to celebrate the community and its hard work. Plus a great opportunity to support charities close to the community's heart, which they have managed to do in abundance.
Through the 2009 carnival, which saw Bethany Longshaw as carnival Queen £1040.00 was raised for the Donna Louise Trust. Further charitable donations were made via the 2010's carnival Queen Jessica Lambert who made generous contributions to 'Cheethams Children's Ward' and 'The Air Ambulance'. This year's carnival is no exception as 2011/2012's carnival Queen Romy Hulme has already decided that fundraising money will go towards 'B.E.E First Responders' during 2011 and 2012.
It's wonderful to see a community event like this as they were so popular years ago. With this in mind Sunday is set to be a great day packed with fun for the entire family. From live entertainment, market stalls, face painting, singers and dancers, family games, a BBQ and a tug of war. Entry is free so go along and enjoy the fun!
Milton Carnival is held on Sunday 17th July at Milton Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent from 11 am.

The Race for Life is here in Stoke-on-Trent this evening. Held at the beautiful Trentham Gardens, hundreds of local women will be taking part in the event where they can run, jog or walk 5km to help raise awareness of cancer.
I know that the event is a favourite amongst many women as it is a chance to commemorate loved ones who have suffered from cancer, for others it's a brilliant opportunity to celebrate recovery or just simply support the hard work of Cancer Research UK.
As cancer affects so many people, it's hard to find someone who hasn't had some connection with the illness through family and friends; it is great to see Race for Life here in Stoke again. I know that the event has become an annual event at Trentham over the years, and something that the community looks forward too.
On that note I would like to send my very best wishes to all of women who are participating this evening. Have a fabulous time, raise lots of money and most importantly enjoy your 'Race for Life'!

TROJAN ROOTS & CULTURE BOX SET (TJETD226) - What you hold in your hand is a remarkable collection of tunes that evoke one of music's, not just Reggae's most potent periods. It's a time capsule, and like the name - Roots - that rounds it up and describes it at the same time, it conveys depth, solidity, something from which to grow.
The best way to understand what 'Roots & Culture' was about and why it had such an impact on musicians in Jamaica and around the globe is, of course, to listen to it. There may be a few lyrical references that haven't transferred to the 21st century altogether successfully, especially those drawn from the island's once hugely influential Rastafarian movement. But the sincerity of the messages, the energy and creativity of the music, and it's sheer scale and quality hit the listener like a cultural Tsunami. With it's sheer verve and difference, this is the sound, meditated through international stars like Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley, which motivated the likes of Eric Clapton, The Stones and Sting to get involved.
Like Che Guevara before, and Ethiopian famine relief a decade later, this was a struggle that everyone in music signed up for. At its core was a set of beliefs that was distinctly Caribbean-African. Its themes of honour, justice and equality are timeless. To Jamaicans and other islanders in the area this music movement was a response to the very real social issues faced every day; to outsiders its frequent anger provided a tone that Rock & Roll had all but lost. In Roots and Culture, music had its conscience back.
So where did it come from, this new force in Reggae?
If we think of music being like a cultural river, we can plot its course in Jamaica through history quite neatly. A new river is full of verve, reacting to its surroundings, coursing quickly. As it matures it begins to cut its own path, then it slows, meanders and spreads itself nice and broad. So in the 1960s Reggae went from the rush of Ska, through Rocksteady, to the dawn of the 1970s with a sound that was more relaxed, at ease with itself and looking to slow down and broaden its horizons. The festive Sixties sound of Ska and Rocksteady reflected an aspect of Caribbean culture that extended the folk traditions of Mento and Calypso. Reggae would take from the latter the bitter social comment that the reality of life in 20th century Jamaica demanded.
Let's look back. Jamaica: colonised and filled with slave workers from Africa by the British government and its white plantation owners. Jamaicans: enslaved and impoverished, brutally put down by the British Army in the Morant Bay slave rebellion in 1865; 30 years after the abolition of slavery, 500 Jamaicans were killed protesting about conditions. Seventy years later, economic crisis, unrest and more killings produced the first trade union under Alexander Bustamente, from which emerged both of the island's feuding political parties, the PNP and the JLP.
In the 1940s the island's inhabitants helped and harboured a notorious Robin Hood-style outlaw, Rhygin, during his ongoing gun battles with police. The establishment was still despised. Independence in August 1962 merely shifted power from a white colonist to the island's light-skinned elite. Poverty still bit deep while the poor danced to songs of love and happiness. All that would change in the face of enormous political changes beyond the control of the common man.
The presence of Cuba. a fiercely independent and anti-American Caribbean neighbour encouraged a sense that change could be brought about. One political party, the JLP, implicitly backed Cuban leader Fidel Castro's stance; the PNP naturally opposed it. This helped draw up battle lines that would turn neighbourhood against neighbourhood, and family against family, throughout the 1970s. Jamaican society is still riven by the divide to this day.
One significant response came from the island's growing Afrocentric religious groups, Rastafarians. To outsiders Rastafari meant growing 'dreadlocks', smoking 'ganja' (marijuana) and strumming a guitar on a chair in the hills above Ocho Rios. To adherents it was an all-encompassing belief system based on turning the extreme negative of slavery and the unjust remnants of the past into a positive approach to the present. Interpretation of the Christian bible imbued their language and imagery. Western capitalism was characterised as 'Babylon'. This became a nickname for the police, viewed as agents of the oppression of poor people.
The sarcastic playfulness of Rasta language is audible in nearly all the tracks on this album. Parts of colonial English words were neatly twisted round. Oppression ('uppression' as pronounced by a Jamaican) became downpression. When Rastas said 'Science' they referred to witchcraft. 'Divisive' words like you, me and we, preferring the more communal 'I and I' so unity, for example, became i-nity. The West's many disruptive-isms (socialism, capitalism) were derided as 'izm and skizm'.
The awesome power of the holy was embodied in liberal use of the word dread. Growing hair into dreadlocks rendered the owner a dread, and a disciple of an ancient black God, Jah. Rastas believed in repatriation to the 'land of milk and honey', Africa, and more specifically Ethiopia. They held that Jamaicans were chosen people exiled from Zion. They looked to a faith that didn't have a white Christ at its head. Orthodox Coptic Christianity provided guidance and mystique, and an enigmatic 1924 publication, the 'Holy Piby', aka the black man's bible, had a massive influence on the movement. Out of all this and more grew early-70s Roots and Culture, one of the most creative periods in Reggae.
Many of those who'd crooned in Rocksteady vocal groups, including Cornel Campbell (the Sensations), Ronnie Davis (the Tenors) and Prince Lincoln Thompson (formerly of the Tartans, with Cedric 'Im' Brooks, Devon Russell), grew their locks and joined the faith. Thompson, who died in 1999, remained one of the great voices of Roots music.
The brilliant, prolific Dennis Brown successfully straddled both camps and 'To The Foundation' is one of the best examples of his late-70s output. Less long-term converts were former Flames leader, Alton Ellis, and Heptones Leroy Sibbles, the bassist behind so many Studio One hits.
Others, Like Tristan Palma, Fil Callender (lead singer with the In Crowd), Barrington Levy, Gregory Isaacs, and Sugar Minott established themselves as powerful new forces for the first time, though Dancehall, not Roots, would form the bread-and-butter of their later music successes. Palma's glory would be restricted to Reggae anthems such as 'I'm Ready' and 'Entertainment'. Isaacs became the 'cool ruler' of romantic Lover's Rock. But Minott, who formed part of Roots music's seminal but short-lived outfit, the African Brothers, and Levy had worldwide pop triumphs with 'Good Thing Going' and 'Here I Come' respectively to accompany their extensive repertoire of home hits.
Asthma-sufferer, Barry Brown, who died after banging his head in an accident in June 2004, rarely ventured far from the sound that he helped launch - he'd recently recorded the 'Roots And Culture' album at Studio One with Coxsone Dodd, who coincidentally passed on a matter of weeks before him. Gossamer-voiced Roots specialist, Bim Sherman enjoyed cult popularity considerably later, especially for his Nineties collaborations with UK producer Adrian Sherwood. Likewise, Horace 'Sleepy' Andy, a former Studio One and Roots legend emerged from his 1990s collaborations with Massive Attack reborn as a cult singer with a following of his own for 'Skylarking', 'Money Money' and other pithy social commentaries.
Any serious compilation of this music benefits from the presence of the quintessential Roots vocal group, the Mighty Diamonds 9whose 'Pass The kutchie' was sanitised and made into a UK hit by Musical Youth). There are top DJs on this collection too, including the great rivals I-Roy and U-Roy Jah Woosh often wore his Rasta cred at a jaunty angle, and so it is with hi contribution here.
In the new mood of righteous creativity, vocal groups including the Viceroys and Israel Vibration, took on a less slick, more edgy quality. Younger producers emerged to replace the US R&B-schooled generation. The key technical contributors on this CD are Lee Perry (who always had something of a love-hate relationship with Rastafari), Winston 'Niney The Observer' Holness, Bunny aka 'Striker' Lee, Linval Thompson and Channel One's Mike Brooks. Brooks and Thompson sat both sides of the studio glass but excelled as two of the most stylish producers of the maturing late-70s Roots sound. Brooks' 'What A Gathering', featured here, is one of the iconic and enduring sounds of the Roots scene.
Perry would credit anonymous groups for a lot of the work he wasn't sure about, but as examples such as Sons Of Light's underexposed track here shows, it didn't mean any lack of quality. The music's energy and power intoxicated white rock artists and spawned adoption and imitation with mixed results. Perry, Lee and Holness share the distinction, along with King Tubby, of being practitioners at the birth of Roots music's contemplative sibling, Dub. It was part of the shakedown that Roots music wrought. Bob Marley used the sound as a launch-pad to change the face of world pop.
Eighties Dancehall's forcefulness grew from the militancy and edginess of Roots music. And its message still shoots through the current work of Sizzla, Luciano and Buju Banton like a stick of rock. But here's where it all began. So sit back, enjoy iy, and remember what music was like when it still had a conscience.

Intern Ethan Lobdell built a path from the deck to the paddle courts.
TICONDEROGA – Patty Hogan from Northern Lake George Paddle says their facility gives people both a recreational opportunity and a job training program for teenagers.
The platform tennis courts for Northern Lake George Paddle are outside Eddie's Restaurant in south Ticonderoga, just off Route 9N.
"We opened Northern Lake George Paddle," Hogan said. "We did a community-build for the warming hut. We got people to volunteer their time, donate materials. Our intent was to provide a jewel for the community."
Platform tennis is played with paddles on a deck about one-third the size of a tennis court, and is surrounded by a 12-foot-high superstructure with fencing, which allows play off the walls, as in racquetball and squash.
Their Platform for Life job training starts July 5, she said, for teens ages 14 through 17.
"It plugged in beautifully to help with the maintenance of the facility at Eddie's Restaurant," Hogan said. "All participants will have the opportunity to learn the basics of platform tennis and golf and to play for free."
Northern Lake George Paddle is separate from Eddie's, she said, with a lease for the athletic facility.
"I donate my teaching time and expertise," Hogan said. "We hope to make a difference. We realize the need for mentoring kids outside the school."
Platform for Life is entering its fifth summer.
"We hire the kids and work with them, teach them skills," Hogan said. "They must show up on time, be appropriately dressed. We do basic things. They learn landscaping. It's a challenge to get them to think outside their box."
Golf pro George Mackie is a coach for their program, as is Jay Wells of Five Nations Golf, Dave Iuliano of Eddie's, and starting this year, Rick Liddell, superintendent of the Ticonderoga Country Club Golf Course.
"These kids help us maintain our facility; we give them some skills," Hogan said. "They start off with no skills, when the leave they maybe head up a project for us. We're teaming them up for success. They show up for work and we hold them to task. They're guaranteed a weekly stipend, and a bonus based on performance.
"And the paddle facility gives the community another recreation opportunity. We're trying to make a better connection."
The kids can get internships outside the program, she said, such as at the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-op.
"They prove to us they can be responsible," she said. "We have five or six kids a summer. We expect they're going to make mistakes. That's a good way to learn job skills. We help the kids when they're applying for other jobs. We become a support for these kids in the community."
Kids can contact Jay Wells by email at firstname.lastname@example.com to apply. Businesses who can provide a mentoring opportunity can also apply. The deadline to apply is June 1.
"It's about helping them become really good citizens in our community," Hogan said. "We launch them with a kind launchpad, we hope."
Northern Lake George Paddle LLC was formed as a partnership with the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, and Dave Iuliano, Jane Ingrey and Patty Hogan, to build and maintain the platform tennis facility, using donations and membership and guest fees.
All members have committed their profits to fund the Platform for Life youth leadership/job training program and other efforts, Hogan said, including the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Backpack Program for needy kids.
"Through positive mentoring and job training, we build leadership skills, shape character and challenge the participants to become responsible for themselves with their peers and in their community," Hogan said.
"Jay and I both had mentors as kids who made a difference, who believed in us. We are able to do the same thanks to the support from the members and friends of Northern Lake George Paddle."

The Pros And Cons Of Choosing Manufactured Housing
You can opt for manufactured home if you are comfortable with the idea of living for less. You can get a manufactured home for much less compared with the traditional houses. However, one of the drawbacks of this type of housing is that getting financed for the purchase is not easy. Your house also risks having its value going down over time. This article is aimed at explaining the pros and cons of manufactured homes so that you can make the right decision.
The price tags on the manufactured home is an incentive that makes a lot of people go for them. The affordability is informed by their mass productions so they cost less to assemble. The catch in this arrangement is that lenders will be hard to come by. The condition that you need to fulfil to get the financing is to give your home a permanent appearance through attaching it to the basement or concrete. The drawback in this case is that it will cost you more.
You will have the chance to access luxurious living at a much lower cost. This mode of housing affords you the opportunity to make upgrades owing to the low base price. You will have restricted choices in the areas of layout and design. A manufactured home will not suit you if you are looking to have a personalized housing.
A manufactured house requires you to get a location where you will place it. With the dwindling land space in many areas, this can prove to be a tricky situation for you. Land that you can get by chance is sold for very high prices. It will not make any financial sense to buy the land as it will defeat the purpose of the manufactured home as you learn more.
One advantage of manufactured homes is that they are of good quality and are versatile. Additionally, you will enjoy customization and features as regards the functionality and aesthetics.
You are participating in the preservation of the environment when you go for manufactured homes since prefabricated materials are used in their construction. In addition, you are able to cut down on the construction waste.
You lack adequate room to undertake customization and upgrades when you go for the manufactured home as they come with preinstalled features. Additionally you are limited in terms of the amenities that you can put in the house.
The disadvantage of settling for a manufactured home is that it will fetch lower resale price when you decide to put it up for sale. You will find it challenging to get a buyer who is willing to purchase your house. It will be hard for your home to compete effectively in the property market in comparison to other properties as the page suggests.

After some delay on this Saturday morning waiting to see what the weather was going to do, Jan and I went east out of Indianola to intercept an IMRL detour on the UP Spine Line at Beech. When we arrived, the signal to the north was yellow, and I watched it turn red as I drove across the wooden county road bridge just past the south switch of the Beech siding.
IMRL had been detouring due to flooding in eastern Iowa and on north up the Mississippi. On the scanner, we could hear IMRL trains receiving warrants on the Kansas City - Nahant line, but also heard several warrants given to MRL and CP power on the UP Spine.
The southbound detour rolled up to the south siding switch at 10:45 and paused briefly to wait for a warrant to go on south. On the head end of the train were MRL 352, MRL 107, GATX 7370 and MRL 354. They were on the move again at 10:52. The warrant sent them all the way to Allerton, so we figured we would not see any northbounds on the Spine line for a while.
On the BNSF dispatching channel, we learned that helpers were being used at Albia to push coal loads up the "north way" while the ballast was being undercut and cleaned on the less steep (normally eastbound) route. We decided to head over and watch this activity, sure to produce a bottleneck in the CTC section between Halpin and Maxon. We knew that there were some westbounds headed our way, and we ducked into Russell to wait for intermodal CHDV (formerly, and still quite often, called 65). We intercepted them at 11:58, with BNSF SD70MACs 9794 and 9728 in charge. It's unusual to see the MACs on anything but coal trains in these parts.
We went directly to Halpin, at the west end of the CTC, where an eastbound coal train was waiting clear of the crossovers for a westbound empty to come down the hill, followed by the helpers. The empty, with BN 9524 and 9642 in front of AEPX gons appeared at 1:03 and blasted by us with a friendly engineer playing a tune on the horns.
We needed to make a "pit stop", so we drove into Albia and got some lunch to bring back to Halpin. When we returned, we found the helpers had followed 9524 down the hill and were in the clear on the westbound. At 1:25, the coal load, behind BN 9626 and 9511, started through the facing point crossover onto track one. As soon as they had pulled their train past the signals, the helpers, BN 7250 and 5565, got permission to come ahead and couple to the rear of the black and white BN hoppers. They were on their way up the hill at 1:28.
An eastbound freight was waiting for a chance to come up the hill next, so we decided to go to the east end of the CTC at Maxon. Our coal train reappeared, having crested the grade, at 1:58. In just a couple of minutes, the UP "Syrup Turn" from Eddyville came around the curve from the northeast to exchange Cargill tankers with the BNSF. Its power today was CNW 4631 and UP 2227. They made a very quick pair of moves and were soon on their way back up the line.
We heard a new detector on the BNSF today - at milepost 298.9, which is just a short distance east of Maxon. The crew of the Ottumwa local also used a radio frequency that I'd not heard used around here before - AAR 51, 160.875.
The freight waiting at the bottom of the hill managed the north way on its own power and arrived at Maxon at 2:17. This was the SPOGAL, and had LMX 8591 and EMD 6302 on the point. The next train in at Maxon was the Ottumwa local, with EMD 787 (appeared to be ex-Conrail) and BN 2774. They had work to do in the area, including picking up the syrup cars and some ballast hoppers on the east passing track. The brakeman asked me what I was up to, and when I said I was just taking pictures of trains, he said, "In nine years, you can have this job." I figured that anyone who was counting that far ahead was pretty unhappy, and sure enough, I got an earful of his discontent with the railroad and his job. Shortly after beginning their work, the Ottumwa local switched their radios to AAR 51, putting them out of communication with the dispatching center in Fort Worth. Since the dispatcher was having trouble fitting all the traffic into the single track, and the local needed to use both tracks at the east end of the CTC, this led to some problems later in the afternoon.
Another coal load, with OWY 9008 and BN 5090 and 5034, had been stopped behind the SPOGAL and was waiting on the Ottumwa local to get up the hill. They'd been there since approximately 12:30. The helpers were on and it was ready to come up at 3:00. However, the dispatcher could not reach the local's crew. Even when others in the area figured out what channel they were on and told them to call in, they refused to change channels until their work was done. The coal load, with JE hoppers, finally made it up the hill at 4:15, followed by the helpers, which were cut off on the fly just east of the junction with the Des Moines branch.
By the time the local let others use the tracks, some westbound traffic was waiting. At 4:30, we saw BN 7937 and 5122 on a grain empty and fifteen minutes later came OWY 9012, UP 3781 and CR 546 with AEPX tub gondolas.
We drove back down the hill to catch the helpers and the next coal load. This train had BNSF 9743 and 9757, with green and silver BN gons. They pulled around the helpers and waited while they coupled up. They started up the hill at 5:15.
Another load was waiting west of Halpin, but it was time for us to head home. We caught one more train, an eastbound freight, at Lucas just before turning north from the BN mains. SF 2851, BN 2337 and 1597 attacked Whitebreast hill at 5:50.
That's It!
In conjunction with a local model railroad meet on April 12, friends Paul Speer and Dennis Williams had an open house at their Rio Grande Pacific, in Dennis' basement. Dennis describes the HO layout as "a train watcher's layout", with broad curves, long trains and lots of mountain scenery.

Softball to play for EPC championship
Thursday, May 18, 2017 by Mike Haines firstname.lastname@example.com in Sports
After going undefeated through the regular season, the Parkland softball team continued to roll as the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference playoffs got underway last week.
The Trojans earned the top seed and cruised past Northampton last Friday, 9-1 in a quarterfinal game. They followed that with a win over Bethlehem Catholic Monday, 4-1.
After the win over Northampton, Parkland third baseman Chelsea Morgan said there's no added pressure protecting an unblemished record in the postseason. The team just tries to win each inning and plays game by game.
"There's always pressure," said Morgan, "But you've just got to take it one game at a time. Right now, every team going into playoffs is 0-0."
Parkland (21-0) jumped in front of Northampton in the first inning when Alyssa Oakley and Morgan scored on Steph Herpel's single for a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Morgan, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored against Northampton, drove in a run to start the scoring in a four-run second inning for Parkland. Shauna Frank drove in two more in the second before Herpel cleared the bases with a home run over the right fielder's head that made it 7-0.
"We prepared really hard," Herpel said. "We knew they were going to be a good team. We came to play.
"We worked on some things at practice. Our goal is to win each inning."
Third-inning singles by Morgan and Herpel knocked in Madison Holub and Oakley, who scored three runs in the game, to give Parkland a 9-0 lead.
Northampton brought in Kaitlyn Perl to relieve starting pitcher Taylor Keeney and Parkland started pinch hitting for many of its starters. The Kids kept the game from going to the mercy rule before scoring a run in the top of the seventh on a Parkland error, their only miscue of the afternoon.
"I thought they came out to play the game," Parkland head coach Barry Search said of his team. "They were hungry. They played us tough last time. It was a 2-1 game. Our kids prepared yesterday and they came out hungry."
Parkland managed 11 hits against Northampton after being held to just five hits in their 2-1 win over the Kids on May 8.
"We struggled last time against her," said Search. "We didn't want to struggle this time. They came out and hit the ball."
The Trojans followed that with a 4-1 win over Bethlehem Catholic in Monday's semifinals. They move on to face Emmaus in Thursday's league title game at Pates Park.

Size of the insurance market is shrinking
The insurance market – excluding healthcare insurance – has been shrinking since 2008 in terms of premium volume. This is almost fully attributable to the individual life insurance segment. Other market segments have remained relatively stable in terms of size. DNB expects this trend to continue in the years ahead.

An adult learner, who struggled in math, gets As, with the help of online learning
Danielle Bryan, an adult learner, is on her way to earning her second associate's degree. Her road to success was a challenging one.
Danielle dropped out of high school because she was painfully shy and struggled with depression and an anxiety disorder. Eventually, she passed the GED® test. She tried college a couple of times, but her struggles prevented her from completing a degree.
After many years, Danielle overcame her emotional difficulties. Inspired by her love of horses, she earned an associate of science degree in equine business management at the College of Central Florida (CF). "Horses are beautiful animals," she commented. "They have one of the most beautiful souls I've ever seen."
She is now getting a second degree—an associate of arts in business, which she expects to complete in the spring of 2017. Her goal is to eventually get a master's degree in business and specialize in marketing.
Danielle had always found math extremely challenging, but two of her professors at CF used online learning programs for homework and assessment, which helped her master the material. In her developmental math class, a required course, she used Pearson's MyMathLab®. She used Pearson's MyStatLab™ in Elementary Statistics, which she took to fulfill a math requirement. "Those were the only two times I got an A in math class," she remarked.
Danielle thought both online learning programs were great because they showed her how to solve problems step by step and provided a lot of extra practice. "You can keep practicing the same question but with different numbers, so you can get better at it," she explained.
Referring to classes she took previously that didn't use online learning, Danielle remarked, "Once I finished a problem, I had no idea if I was right or wrong." But with the MyLab programs, "you can find out as soon as you finish whether you got it right or whether you got it wrong. If you got it wrong, the program will show you how you did it wrong, what you did wrong, and how to fix it."
With the MyLab programs, you can practice a problem over and over again until it makes sense.
Danielle also appreciated that support was available whenever she needed it. Explaining how the online learning program helped her in Elementary Statistics, she said, "I couldn't have access to the professor twenty-four hours a day, so then I would go into MyStatLab and work on it all night if I wanted to." She added, "I loved that it had the book in it." When Danielle didn't understand something, she would click on the button that took her to the section in the textbook where the content was discussed to help her master the concept.
Because of her academic success at CF, Danielle was invited to join the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, where she currently serves as the society's director of archives. She is a member of more than eight clubs on campus, including the Student Anti-Violence Advocates club, where she served as president, and she participates in various activities, such as the March of Dimes Walk, as well. In April 2016, the CF Student Activities Board recognized Danielle for her involvement in campus activities and clubs by naming her Student of the Year.
Danielle has this advice for others facing challenges similar to her own: "For anybody suffering with anxiety or depression, sometimes talking is not what you want to do, especially if you're extremely shy. From what I've learned at CF alone, get involved on campus. Find a club that strikes a chord in your heart—something that you think, 'that's so me'—and get involved."
She added, "Because of being involved on campus, my grades were so high. When you're involved on campus, you're more likely to graduate as well as have higher grades."

|Less common paper sizes which are used mainly for bigger jobs. E.g. Posters, wall charts etc.
|Bates Stamping
|Primarily used in legal applications, Bates Stamping is the numbering of the legal documents. This was done by hand in the past with a numbering machine manufactured by the Bates Manufacturing Company. The numbers on the documents came to be known by the name of the company and "Bates Stamping" came to mean the process of placing the "Bates Numbers" on the pages. When large numbers of documents are involved, this can be done automatically by printers or during the scanning process.

|Big Data
|The collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using traditional data processing applications. The challenges include analysis, capture, curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualisation, and privacy violations. The advantage of Big Data is the analysis of large data sets that can reveal trends and patterns to help business development and agility.
|Bit Depth
|The number of bits used to form a pixel. In digital imaging bit depth refers to image mode such as greyscale (4 to 8-bit depth), bi-tonal (1-bit depth) or RGB colour (16 to 24-bit depth). Indicates the ability of a file to see and replicate colours and tonal gradation.

Traffic Safety Campaign with Chuggington!
This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, all opinions expressed are my own
I am so happy to be tell you about "¡Piensa seguro, viaja seguro, mantente seguro!", a Spanish-language public service program with an interactive website at www.chuggington.com/seguridad. It is an awesome program that is brought to you by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Ludorum, the producers of the Chuggington™ television series. The link is for the Spanish website, but there is an English version here. ¡Piensa seguro, viaja seguro, mantente seguro!" or 'Think Safe, Ride Safe, Be Safe!' in English provides families with young children tools they need to help their child walk and ride more safely.
Can I share a secret with you? I was terrified to learn to drive. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until I was in college that I took and passed my driving exam. Why did I wait so long? Well, when I was young I lost one a close family member in a car accident. I slowly overcame my fear of the open road, but then I became a parent and my fear of being in a car accident with my children was very real. Car crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for children ages two through six.
These 5 often very people are my loves. I worry about them in so many ways, but especially when I drive. I have never been a wreckless driver, but I certainly feel like I drive more cautiously when they are in my vehicle. I think all of us want to keep our children safe from car crashes. And, of course, I worry about them when they ride their bikes and go for walks. With so many small children, it's nearly impossible for me to hover over them and protect them every moment. The best thing that I can do for them acknowledge that accidents happen and expose them to teaching them practical tips could save them from serious injury or death.
That's why I love the new "¡Piensa seguro, viaja seguro, mantente seguro!" It's a great resource fo bike, school bus, car and walking tips for the whole family. My kids enjoyed it the interactive destination allows kids to learn while playing with their favorite Chuggington characters.
The traffic safety campaign is geared to kids preschool-aged to 1st grade and focus on four main areas: pedestrian, bus, bike and car seat safety. The interactive format is great because my kids learn best when they are engaged…and they rather learn about safety from interactive lessons are hosted by the 'trainees' of Chuggington, Wilson, Koko and Brewster.
Here are my kiddos working on a few of the print outs from the website...
On a final note, I am so pleased that this joint initiative between The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the producers of the Chuggington™ is in Spanish. It has been my experience that there are alack of resources geared towards the Spanish speaking community. The website is a great resource the community and for all families with young children!
Summer Safety - Check Your Car
The past few weeks have been a little stressful around here. Part of it was due to the fact that my husband was in China and then Chicago for a very long business trip, but it seems like my mind has been centered on my children's safety a lot and it's been stressing me out.
A 2 year old boy that we knew from our church died last week in his family's pool. It happened in the few minutes he was left unsupervised, someone thought that someone else was watching him….This just breaks my heart. We don't have a pool, but we have friends that do and we have access to a community pool, so these pool stories always scare me.
Today I came across an article in Parenting.com that addresses accidental car seat deaths of children. The children left in their car seats die from from the extreme cold or hot temperatures inside the vehicle. Most of the stories that I have read on accidental car deaths of children involved irresponsible parents. You know, you hear about the parent or caretaker who wanted to run errands and left the child in the car or worse yet, they wanted to do something fun and didn't want the child with them.However, this article highlights the fact that most of these car seat deaths happen to children whose parents are probably just as neurotic about baby proofing and child safety as many of us are. The accidents typically happen to tired, overworked or stressed out parents who forgot their child was in the car...the stories and grief of some of these parents are shared in the article. It also offers some very helpful suggestions on how to help keep your children safe in the car.
Sometimes I stop and laugh at my fears. I ask myself if all the baby proofing is necessary. Do I really need to follow my kids 100% of the time at the park? You know how it is, you hear about something horrible happening to a child and you can't even begin to imagine the same thing happening to your child, so you can go a little crazy in protecting them. My siblings and I grew up in a very loving home and I am sure my mom kept a watchful eye on us, but she certainly hadn't baby proofed the house the way we have. However, it's not the lack of baby proofing that freaks me out; but rather the horrible accidents that sometimes happen to children, despite being in loving and caring environments. I pray every day for my kid's safety and do my best to watch over them…
