USA Today bestselling author Jo Goodman presents a "sprawling, lusty recreation of life, love, and slowly uncovered secrets*" as a rancher rescues a mysterious young woman with trouble of her trail.
After his train is robbed at gunpoint, Remington Frost awakens from a blow to find the bandits gone...along with the woman he was shadowing for protection. No stranger to risk, Remington will do what it takes to bring Phoebe Apple to safety and her kidnappers to justice. But ransoming Phoebe is just the start of trouble...
Phoebe is shocked to learn that her mysterious rescuer is none other than Remington Frost, the son of her sister's new husband. Home at Twin Star Ranch, she falls happily into western life--and cautiously in love with Remington. But danger hides close to home, and their romance illuminates a web of secrets and betrayal that may put the rancher and his intended bride past the point of rescue.
*Publisher's Weekly
Lou: Jo Goodman is an autoread for many of us at The Bookpushers and I was so excited to read A Touch of Frost. While I liked the hero and heroine, sadly I struggled with the rest of the book for a multitude of reasons. I'll talk about the good first! I adored Phoebe and Remington. Their witty banter and romance is what kept me reading the pages during the times I struggled. Phoebe is smart and witty and her disguise on the train was awesome. I loved that her background came from a theatre and I would have loved to have seen her in that atmosphere and setting. Anyways, the beginning of the book had me hooked. A train robbery, a confident gun-shooting Phoebe taking lead while poor Remington got knocked unconscious and wasn't there to save the day. It was a really neat flip.
E: Like Lou I struggled with A Touch of Frost. I think I had to read it a few times before I clearly understood the main characters and their relationships with each other. I ended up resorting to drawing a mental map and connecting the dots because I really felt like I was reading five different relationships (not all romantic) between five different people but the connections weren't evenly distributed. I really liked Phoebe and Remington – their inner strength, inner quietness, and their secrets. Their relationship was a slow-burn one and despite looking the most complicated on paper ended up being the most straightforward. Their "meet-cute" had me laughing and I enjoyed seeing their trust slowly build. However, the other relationships along with something which is seeming to become a trend with Goodman's recent writing has left me less than thrilled.
Marlene: I'm on the same page. Remington and Phoebe's bantering relationship completely sucked me in. Every time they were together, the dialog absolutely sparkled. I also loved the way that Phoebe stood up for herself with Remington, and that he understood that the only way anything would work between them would be if they were equals. But the other relationships, and the central suspense plot, dragged more than a bit. I'll also confess that I very much found myself wishing that Phoebe and Fiona's names were so similar, and Fiona's status so frequently obscured, often by her own machinations, that I kept getting them mixed up.
Lou: Yes their slow-burn romance was lovely–and I'm a huge fan of slow-burn romances–and they were the tower of strength amongst a host of other characters that confused me to no end. Firstly the identities of the kidnappers and how they were interconnected with the town left me scratching my head at times. Their brief POV chapters didn't seem to add anything to the story, except adding to my confusement. Then there is Remington's father, who is married to Fiona, who is Phoebe's sister. Fiona…was not an easy character to like. At all. I'm not sure I would even call her an interesting character, because her sole purpose seemed to be a tension stick between Remington and Phoebe. She wasn't very nice to Phoebe. She tried something with Remington back in the day that once Phoebe learns about is literally physically sick. Learning about Fiona's history made the way she behaved understandable. But another reveal just added to the overall confusement. One aspect I did not like at all was something that happened in another Goodman book where an older woman character is made out to be the bad guy. And this book had a similar theme, and it's like, what gives?
I'm still mulling over what Goodman did to Phoebe when she was younger.View Spoiler »Phoebe was raped multiple times and the way Goodman revealed this was done in such a casual and matter of fact manner. Then there was the reveal of who Fiona was to Phoebe, which ties in with the rape of Phoebe. « Hide Spoiler
E: The villains..well let me clarify, the train robbers/kidnappers started off as minor/bit players but then they seemed to take on an autonomy almost like they wanted to become main characters. Looking back, I think the shift was meant to illustrate a couple of different things, first how lucky Phoebe and Remington were during the initial kidnapping which was already evident but seemed to mostly work within the story. The second thing I took away was an example of how a single bad deed can quickly snowball into worse actions which didn't seem to fit because the kidnappers weren't individuals I had any vested interest in so it threw me out of the story. I will agree Fiona was an extremely difficult person to like and she was involved in three of the primary "relationships" not always to her credit. I actually wanted to see more of Thaddeus and Fiona's relationship not just the contentious tense parts. I got the feeling their courtship and coming to consensus would have revealed a lot.View Spoiler »In several of her books and with what appears to be an increasing frequency the heroine has been raped or dealt with attempted rape – in some cases it was a villain in the story and other cases in the past. There are other ways to describe evil and to add emotional punch. While Fiona and Phoebe share a special bond due to rape/attempted rape and the impact of those actions does strongly inform the present day, in story time personalities, I think Goodman is starting to lose me as an autobuy because of the prevalence. « Hide Spoiler
Marlene: View Spoiler »This is where some serious mixed feelings come into play for me, too. There are plenty of other ways for a woman to be traumatized besides either rape or a stalker, which is a trap that too many romantic suspense series fall into. But getting down off my soapbox, Phoebe's reveal of her past rape felt too casual. Not that she couldn't have found a way to deal with it, but something about that scene just didn't feel right. « Hide Spoiler
As far as Fiona went, I did figure out their actual relationship before that reveal, but Fiona was such an unlikeable character for so much of the book that I didn't necessarily feel all that bad for her. The way she treats Phoebe was abusive enough when it seemed they were sisters, but felt way over the top once the truth came out.
The rest of the villains seemed like paper tigers. There just wasn't much there, there, and their perspective added more confusion than substance.
Lou: Yes I could have done without the POV from the villains. A more active subplot of a whodunnit would have been much more entertaining. Which brings home another issue I had with how slow the plot meandered at times. It took me almost five days to finish this book. Apart from the scenes with Phoebe and Remington, the other POV from other characters added nothing much to the story. Instead of creating a secondary romantic subplot with Thaddeus and Fiona, we got petty jealousies and insecurities that had me not caring in the slightest about what happened between them, especially with how unlikeable Fiona was as a character.View Spoiler »Yes I too have noticed Goodman heavily relies on rape for emotional impact in her books and I agree with E and Marlene's points. There are other ways to describe evil in a harsh time period that doesn't include sexual violence towards the heroine. « Hide Spoiler
The story also ended very abruptly with a quick conclusion to the kidnappers. This book really was a miss for me compared to the previous Goodman novels I've loved. Not sure what happened with this book. I liked Phoebe and Remington and their romance, but the other issues in the book made me feel somewhat relieved that the story was finished. You know the dreams you have where you're running from something but you don't actually move? This book was sort of the equivalent where I kept reading and reading and nothing much was happening. It's over 400 pages long, which to me was overcooked considering there wasn't much happening in the book itself.
Sadly I'm giving A Touch of Frost a C grade. Like E, I am going to be hesitant in picking up future books if they have similar themes we discussed in the spoiler tags.
E: I also noticed the "it's complicated" relationship that did or did not exist previously between Thaddeus and his housekeeper. This was the catalyst to a lot of the unrest Phoebe arrived to find after Remington rescued her, but it didn't come up until well into the story when I was already confused about Fiona's reactions to certain comments. I really feel like this story lost its way leaving me disappointed and wondering if/why I liked Goodman's writing previously. I literally went back and reread one to remind myself of why I had eagerly waited a year for this release. I really hope Goodman is back on form for her next release but unfortunately I am going to temper my eagerness and expectations as a result.
I give A Touch of Frost a C-/D+
Marlene: I did finish this book in a single day. As much as the kidnapping plot dragged out the end, and as much as I really, really did not like Fiona, the scenes with Remington and Phoebe carried me through. But, and it is a very big but in this instance, A Touch of Frost is nowhere near the book that This Gun for Hire is. I liked Phoebe and Remington, and I loved the fact that this is a romance of equals, and one done realistically well for this time and place. I was happy that of all the many, many misunderstandings that power the plot of this story, none of them involve a misunderstandammit between Remington and Phoebe.
In my full review of A Touch of Frost at Reading Reality (https://www.readingreality.net/2017/06/review-a-touch-of-frost-by-jo-goodman/) I gave it a B, and I should probably stick to that. But after reading all of E's and Lou's comments, I'm thinking I was probably a bit generous. C'est la vie.

(September 9, 2019) - Arizona gas prices have risen 3.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.81/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 2,269 stations. Gas prices in Arizona are unchanged versus a month ago, yet stand 11.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Arizona is priced at $2.37/g today while the most expensive is $4.09/g, a difference of $1.72/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.37/g while the highest is $4.09/g, a difference of $1.72/g. The cheapest price in the entire country today stands at $1.84/g while the most expensive is $5.09/g, a difference of $3.25/g.
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 1 cent per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.55/g today. The national average is down 9.9 cents per gallon from a month ago, yet stands 28.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
Historical gasoline prices in Arizona and the national average going back a decade:
September 9, 2018: $2.92/g (U.S. Average: $2.84/g)
September 9, 2017: $2.45/g (U.S. Average: $2.66/g)
September 9, 2016: $2.09/g (U.S. Average: $2.18/g)
September 9, 2015: $2.48/g (U.S. Average: $2.38/g)

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Las Vegas- $3.05/g, unchanged from last week's $3.05/g.
Phoenix- $2.90/g, up 0.5 cents per gallon from last week's $2.89/g.
Tucson- $2.53/g, down 1.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.54/g.
"For its eighth straight week, the national average has declined even as oil prices have bucked the trend in the last week, moving higher on optimism over upcoming trade talks between China and the United States," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "While most of the country saw gas prices continuing to drop, it certainly was not all. The West Coast has gas prices rise gently in recent weeks, but those increases likely won't last. Moving forward, I believe the market will closely watch the October trade talks and any comments made between the countries until then, and gas prices will track with optimism- should there be a positive conciliatory tone between the two, we may see a more organized, but temporary, upward move. If trade talks fall apart, then expect more price declines that will accelerate in the weeks ahead. Markets have been reliably unreliable in recent weeks and it seems that will likely continue as the talks hold significant meaning for oil and gasoline demand."
GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey covering credit card transactions at 100,000 stations and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on 7,000 gas stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

So many like 30 years ago i visited what i consider to be an American icon corporation in Concord MA.
the company General Radio or as they were known in modern times was Genrad.
Well i never forgot seeing their temp power points in there general flexible assembly area and thats been my inspiration for the solution to my new temp shop.
i was not going to wire receptacles all over a 2 car plus garage that when i move out is going to be demolished.
But i was also not going to go without the shop for the next two years. So i ran a 6/ 3 cable from the panel 70 feet away in the basement and then on one of my Tom Clark tool draw cabinets i erected a 1.5" thick plywood wall hung my plastic draws on the good side facing my draws and counter top and on rear hung the panel.
at the top there is a wooden roller and you can see the leather hangers holding the cable up. Should i need to which will really on be in say a winter emergency when i may have to do something unexpected on a car and need space i can roll it out the way to the side.
not finished yet but should be by end of day.

A Swabian Regional Specialty similar to the Ravioli:
One of the most famous regional specialties you will come across on your travels in the state of Baden-Württemberg is the Maultaschen. This Swabian specialty is rather similar to ravioli, but are a little bigger in size.
The Maultaschen are filled with meat and spinach and are traditionally served in a broth ("in der Brühe") or can be eaten either baked in butter and sprinkled with boiled egg (geröstet) or with onions fried in bacon fat (geschmälzt).
The Baden-Württembergers joke about the Maultaschen – some saying that they are like the people here: "nothing to write home about outwardly, but precious inside". But what amused me about this dish is the legend behind its creation.
Believe It, Believe It Not
Legend has it that Maultaschen were invented during Lent in the Maulbronn Abbey. To get around their obligation to abstain from meat, the monks conceived the idea of covering meat with pasta dough believing that God could not see the meat under cover of the dough. They chopped the meat up finely and to camouflage it further, they mixed it with spinach and herbs. This dish has the humorous nickname of Herrgottsbscheißerle which roughly translates to "little ones who cheat the Lord".
"Schwäbische Maultaschen" has been recognized as a regional specialty by the Gazette of the European Communities. This means that genuine Maultaschen have to be produced in Swabia, Baden-Württemberg, or the Swabian speaking areas of Bavaria.
So next time you travel in the Baden-Württemberg region, be sure to try these "little ones who cheat the Lord", but hopefully not at Lent.

By Cameron Huddleston, Former Online Editor May 7, 2014 Americans are expected to spend an average of nearly $163 on mom for Mother's Day this year, according to a National Retail Federation survey. Those surveyed said they'll likely buy mom her favorite flowers, clothing, a day at the spa or a meal at a restaurant. However, what people buy their mom (or spouse) isn't always what she wants, according to another survey by RetailMeNot. As a mom of three, I do enjoy receiving gifts on Mother's Day.

Forthcoming publication (October 2012):
Imagine if Black Artists Actually Mattered? Visions of Equality in Germany
Sandrine Micossé-Aikins and Sharon Dodua Otoo (Editors)
Black artists in Germany find themselves – necessarily – in a position in which double-consciousness; subversiveness and resistance – implicit and explicit – become essential strategies to be used in their work if they wish to survive in this predominantly white context. "Imagine if Black Artists Actually Mattered?", the first edition of the Witnessed series, answers the questions of how a society which has achieved true equality could look and what the central role of the artist is in shaping or creating these visions? What would Black artistic practices in the context of such a visionary society look like? What actions are possible beyond reaction and resistance?
This book attempts to contribute to a discourse that is underrepresented in Germany by providing a contextual discussion of the current situation of Black artists in Germany and also focuses on examining how contemporary Black artists in Germany create and convey visions of equality.

Agricultural prices have been rallying for several years now, but Jim Rogers thinks there's still room to grow.Compare/contrast with their Murdochian cousins.
The commodities investor said on Tuesday that he is still bullish on agriculture, calling it a great place for investors to be for the next two decades.
Prices of agricultural commodities are still relatively cheap compared to those of metals and energy, and the world is scrambling for arable farmlands to feed a growing population, Mr. Rogers told a packed audience at the Global AgInvesting conference, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York.
However, how to ride on the agricultural bull run remains a tricky issue.
The most profitable way is to invest in commodity futures, but it is not a game for everyone given the extreme volatility and high capital requirements — "unless you know what you're doing," Mr. Rogers said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the conference.
Short of becoming a farmer, investors can benefit from buying a commodity index product, investing in currencies of agricultural nations and even getting a piece of farmland, Mr. Rogers said. As for individual commodities, investors might want to pick those that are off the most from the highs, he said.
Farmland has become a popular asset class among investors. By owning a piece of agricultural land, investors expect to see cash flows based on the proceeds. But it requires a big upfront investment and is not exactly liquid. To fill that void, many farmland investment companies are being set up to attract those who want a piece of the land but don't want the hassle of hiring farmers, planting or irrigating. Dismissing the bubble talk surrounding farmland investment, Mr. Rogers said the investment idea is probably "in its third inning." He is on the board of such a company, Genagro Ltd., which farms in Brazil....MORE
From Saturday's Barron's:
Down -- but Far From Out -- on the Farm
After a decade in which farmland prices kept heading steadily north, the market looks ready to cool off. But the result is likely to be a return to normal, not disaster.
Over the past decade, prices for U.S. farmland have boomed, capped by a 20%-plus jump last year in some of America's most fertile regions.
The bad news: The torrid gains are coming to an end. The good: A crash, like those that followed the tech, dot-com and housing bubbles, is unlikely. Instead, farmland prices probably will return to a more normal ebb and flow of modest gains and declines.
The recent bonanza for U.S. agriculture was driven by stepped-up food demand from China and other emerging lands, and the rising use of corn-based ethanol as a gasoline additive in the U.S. Throw in good domestic demand for farm products, plus crop subsidies from the federal government, and it's no wonder farmers' incomes hit record highs.
As well, many have been plowing their harvest riches back into the ground, buying more land and shunning stocks and bonds. In 2002, Iowa land averaged $2,083 an acre; in 2011, it went for $6,708.
But now, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts, net farm income will decline nationally, by 6.5% this year. Some U.S. crop subsidies may end as Congress seeks to whittle spending. One big subsidy for ethanol production already is gone, while mandates to blend more of the biofuel with gasoline aren't materializing. And China's growth is slowing, which could reduce agricultural exports to that giant nation in the short run -- although they're almost certain to remain substantial over the long term.
FARMLAND HAD A BUMPER YEAR in 2011. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries' Farmland Index rose 8.7% in the fourth quarter alone, with prices in every farm region rising. For the entire year, many of the Federal Reserve banks' agricultural surveys showed stout price appreciation, with the Kansas City branch recording a gain of 25% over 2010's already heady level; Chicago, a 22% jump; and Dallas, a 14% rise. Friday, the council reported that the national index had climbed a further 3.78% in this year's first quarter.
The sharpest 2011 advances were in the Corn Belt, parts of which have enjoyed a quarter-century of consecutive annual farmland price increases. Says David Oppedahl, business economist at the Chicago Fed: "This is a factor of high corn prices -- and the profit that can be made from farming corn or soy." The Corn Belt roughly includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and parts of Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. It includes the Federal Reserve's Seventh District, where some of the best agricultural land in the world is found....MORE

The 1985 purchase of Pan Am's Far Eastern network had opened up the Pacific to United but the mix of 747SPs and L-1011s it acquired as part of the deal were not ideal for the routes, which unlike Pan Am it could feed from its mega-hubs at Chicago, Denver and San Francisco. As a stopgap five ex-American Airlines 747-123s were acquired in 1987 (becoming N153-157UA). It also tacked on a pair of new 747-222Bs to a massive 1985 order for 737-300s. These two late build aircraft became N151UA and N152UA when they were delivered in March and April 1987. Further 747s were acquired well into the 1990s when 7 ex-Qantas 747-238Bs were added which became N158-161UA and N163-165UA from January 1991.
Obviously the 747-200 though still a decent prospect in 1990 was a little long in the tooth and United was quick to order longer term equipment in the form of the new and much improved 747-400. United received its first series 422 in June 1989 when 'Spirit of Seattle II' N171UA arrived. Twenty two 747-400s were delivered from then until August 1993 enabling the retirement of the eleven 747SPs inherited from Pan Am. Not content with this United had in October 1990 made what at the time was the largest airline order in history when in a deal worth around $11 billion at list prices it ordered 30 more 747-400s and 34 777-200s. At the time United was in the midst of an attempted takeover by its own employees and the order was seen as a way of refocusing the airline's strategic plans.

Why are you using N184UA instead of N171UA?

Because I own the model for N184UA and don't own one for N171UA

When someone asks you, "what do you do?" and you respond that you are an ag retailer, crop consultant or farmer, John Ellis says that is the wrong answer.
"You are a technologist who has chosen to deliver farm products," Ellis told farmers and retailers attending the 2017 Farm Journal AgTech Expo in Indianapolis.
As a veteran of the mobile and automotive industries, Ellis says the technology revolution is coming at all levels, across all business sectors and quickly. As proof, he says it took 60 years for the telephone to be widely adopted in the U.S.; it took only 10 months for the iPad.
Ellis referenced a patent Google received in 2016 to push content to a car in exchange for information about that car. He believes the technology will transform the relationship between vehicles and data.
"Software companies are driving this, not the original equipment manufacturers," he says. "The best example is Tesla, which founder Elon Musk says builds software and then wraps it with a car. The construct of a software-first company is so strong that if you fail to understand it, you'll fail to succeed."
He offered Expo attendees three steps that can help them plan for success in the years ahead: get comfortable being uncomfortable, think differently, and prepare for the data economy.

Holborn Studios: 'act of betrayal' leads campaigners to call for judicial review
A family-owned photographic company in Hoxton is to challenge Hackney Council's recent decision to approve the redevelopment of its home on Eagle Wharf Road.
The Regent's Network, a group that campaigns for restoration of waterways, will also be submitting its own objections.
Joint developers GHL (Eagle Wharf Road) Ltd had their plans for the site, which include partially demolishing the buildings to make way for canal-side apartments, approved at a council hearing on 6 July.
But Billy McCartney, managing director of Holborn Studios, is set to launch an appeal in the coming days.
He said: "After speaking to our legal team, we believe there is a case for a judicial review, and that's the path we'll be going down.
"Obviously, we're massively disappointed with the decision. I mentioned six planning code violations [at the hearing] and not one of them prevented the outcome. Even if I'd promised the council I'd provide a million jobs, it wouldn't have made any difference."
The iconic studios have played host to stars such as Kate Moss and The Libertines, and a new Twitter campaign to stop the redevelopment has already attracted support from Simon Cowell and ex-footballers Robert Pires and Patrick Kluivert.
We couldn't have asked for kinder words! Again, Thank you so much @SimonCowell for your support! #saveholbornstudios pic.twitter.com/gni45jR4Eg
— Holborn Studios (@Holbornstudios) 6 July 2016
McCartney has previously said that the plans will lead to job losses.
Ian Shacklock, chair of Friends of Regent's Canal campaign group, called the council's decision 'an act of betrayal'.
He said: "It looks like our elected representatives have their heads buried in the sand and are being micromanaged by box ticking officials, who in turn are being bullied by aggressive developers.
"They are destroying the heritage and attraction of the canal for another load of bland offices, which will probably be turned into luxury flats in five years' time.
"We will continue our campaign and bombard everyone with the truth – that this was not a fair fight."

A street vendor who went viral on the Internet has received more than $70,000 in donations after a University of California, Berkeley police officer took his cash and gave him a citation for illegally selling hot dogs.
The vendor, who has asked to only be identified as "Beto," was selling hot dogs outside California Memorial Stadium during UC Berkeley's first football game. He was cited for selling food without a proper permit. But it was what Martin Flores — who attended the game — caught on camera that set the internet ablaze.
After writing the man a citation, Officer Sean Aranas took money from the vendor's wallet and filed it for evidence. Flores filmed the interaction as Beto pleaded in Spanish for the officer not to take his money.
A tweet showing the video received more than 100,000 retweets, and one Facebook video posted by Mexican Vines has more than 6 million views.
During an interview with NBC Bay Area's Telemundo sister station, Beto said that he was a construction worker who only set up the hot dog stand to earn a little extra cash and support his family.
"People saw I wasn't doing anything wrong," he said. "I wasn't stealing or drinking. I was just working to sustain my family."
Apparently, that's exactly what people saw. Because after the incident, when the video was going viral, a GoFundMe page set up for Beto quickly started receiving thousands of dollars in donations. As of Wednesday morning, it had broken $71,000, far more than the original goal of $10,000. A Plus has not been able to verify the authenticity of the GoFundMe page.
UCPD officials said three vendors had been warned about selling food in the area without a permit. UC Berkeley Vice Chancellor Scott Biddy declined to comment on the specifics of this incident, but told NBC News that "it is typical to collect any suspected illegal funds and enter them into evidence."
"I'm very thankful for the support I've received," Beto said.

The team at Select Carriers always seems to strike a 'win-win' between me and our shipper clients — even when tough rate negotiations are on the table. They're always fair. Always.
Mike R, CMO
"When it comes to helping me secure freight for my fleet, Select Carriers does a very thorough job of matching my fleet profile – equipment and geographical network – to what shippers need.
Bill M., EVP Sales & Marketing, Truckload Carrier
By securing predictable, long-term lanes with shippers, Select Carriers has enabled me to give my drivers more consistent routes, hours and pay — that makes a big difference in retaining them in the market's extreme driver shortage.
Refrigerated Truckload Carrier
They stay involved in every aspect of the relationship between my company and the shippers we partner with. They make a long-term commitment to mutual success that you really don't get with brokers or sales agents.
Mark D., President, Refrigerated LTL
They really help me make the best of an outsourced sales model for filling the excess capacity I have across my fleet. I've been able forego hiring new salespeople and their learning curve and overheads as a result.

This year, 65 small, independent and traditional craft brewers representing all regions of the United States will offer 120 craft beers to be sampled at tasting salons during the event, which takes place from 7:30 to 11 p.m. The brewers will pair each beer with sweet and savory appetizers that they have selected. Educational workshops will offer additional opportunities for attendees to interact with brewers.
Visit www.savorcraftbeer.com to purchase tickets or see a list of participating breweries. There are more than 1,400 brewing companies in the United States today, up from 42 in the late 1970s. The majority of these are craft breweries, meaning they are independently owned and produce small batches of beer. For more information on craft brewing, visit the Brewers Association Web site.

The state of our health is very important to us, we spend a lot of time and money on trying to stay healthy, but what do we mean by "Health"? The world Health Organisation (WHO) describes health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being which is more than just the absence of disease.
Infectious Diseases
An infectious disease is caused by the invasion of a pathogen. A pathogen is an organism which invades the body causing disease. Infectious diseases are spread by humans (carriers) or by vectors e.g. insects, fly's. In other words, it must be possible to pass the pathogen from one individual to another. Such infectious diseases include: colds, influenza, T.B, measles and cholera.
To be included under the term infectious disease are STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) such as: HIV/AIDS, syphilis and chlamidia. Because the method of transmission of the pathogen is usually by sexual activity.
Non-Infectious Diseases
A substantial number of diseases are caused by Lifestyle, Starvation, Ageing and Genetics.
Degenerative diseases like Osteoarhritis and Alzheimers disease are seen as a result of ageing.
Genetic diseases such as Cystic Fribrosis and Down's Syndrome are inherited or because of their genetic combination.
Deficiency diseases such as Rickets and Scurvy are caused due to a lack of certain vitamins or minerals in the diet
Self-Inflicted diseases such as Lung Cancer, Alcohol Abuse, Anorexia and Bulimia are caused by people's lifestyles, environment and maybe lack of education and awareness.
We are concerned with infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases and lifestyle diseases. All the diseases that fit under one of the above titles can be reduced or even eradicated, if humans change their attitudes and behaviours towards them.
Below is a list of some of...

Ken and Tally Reed had a problem.
Tally wanted to run for House of Delegates.
Tally Reed and her husband, Morgan County Commissioner Ken Reed, live in Berkeley Springs, Morgan County — which is in the 58th District.
The current member of the House of Delegates representing that district is Majority Leader Daryl Cowles (R-58).
The Reeds didn't want to run against Daryl Cowles.
Cowles is part of the Republican establishment in West Virginia — and the Reeds don't want to fight the establishment Republicans in Charleston — they want to join them.
So the Reeds picked an address in the neighboring 59th District — the district represented by Saira Blair (R-59). Blair will not be running for re-election this year.
According to the West Virginia Secretary of State's office, last month, Tally Reed changed her voter registration address from her home in Cowles' 58th district in Berkeley Springs to a house about seven miles down the road in Blair's 59th district in Hedgesville.
Then on January 25, 2018, Tally Reed filed with the Secretary of State to run for the House of Delegates in the 59th.
But Tally and Ken Reed don't live in the 59th district. They live in the 58th district. They pay property taxes on their home in the 58th. And until last month, Tally Reed was registered to vote in the 58th.
The West Virginia Constitution provides that "no person shall be a senator or delegate who has not for one year next preceding his election, been a resident within the district or county from which he is elected."
The West Virginia Supreme Court has held that "the term 'residence' is synonymous with the term 'domicile' for election law purposes" (White v. Manchin, 1984.) and that "domicile is a combination of residence (or presence) and an intention of remaining — if domicile has once existed, mere temporary absence will not destroy it, however long continued." (Lotz v. Atamaniuk, 1983.)
West Virginia statutes do not clearly define the terms "residence" and "domicile" and Senator Patricia Rucker (R-Jefferson) has introduced legislation this session (SB 376) aimed at clarifying the terms.
SB 376 lists a number of factors that may demonstrate domicile, including the address listed on the person's vehicle registration card, the address listed on the person's driver's license, the address where the person receives state or federal benefits, and whether the person pays property or income taxes from that address.
The Reeds did not respond to a message seeking comment for this story. But they did send along a press release touting Tally Reed's Hedgesville roots.
"Delegate Blair has done a fantastic job representing the district," Tally Reed said in the release. "We both grew up in Hedgesville and are proud Hedgesville High School graduates. We share very similar values and principles, and I am confident that I can continue her strong leadership."
After graduating from Hedgesville High School in 1987, Reed attended the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy and obtained her degree in 1993.
That same year Reed started her career as a pharmacist.
Tally met Ken in pharmacy school and married him in 1993. They have four children.
Reed began her career working as pharmacist in a chain pharmacy and then spent three years at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Martinsburg, where she served as an outpatient pharmacist, inpatient pharmacy supervisor, and acting chief of pharmacy.
Shortly after leaving the VA, Reed decided to join her husband in running their business. In 2000, Reed opened the Hedgesville location of Reed's Pharmacy.
"I was really excited to be opening our Hedgesville store and to serve my hometown," Reed says. "Launching a business from scratch is daunting. We had just had our third child, and I can confidently say that without the support of the community, family, and friends, I would never have achieved a fraction of my success as a pharmacist, business owner, wife and mother."
Reed says her platform will largely focus on economic reform, infrastructure, and education reform.
"I am very optimistic about our future in West Virginia," added Reed. "If we keep our heads down and focus on the core principles of creating jobs, making our government run more efficiently, and decreasing our dependence on federal money, there is nothing we can not accomplish."
Reed and her husband currently own and operate Reed's Pharmacy locations in Hedgesville, West Virginia, Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, Springs Mills, West Virginia, Hancock, Maryland, and Berryville, Virginia.
Tally Reed is also the manager of a new restaurant in Berkeley Springs owned by the Reeds – The Canary Grill.
Whether Tally Reed can overcome any legal challenge to her candidacy based on residency is unclear, but resources apparently will not be a problem.
In 2014, Ken Reed spent more than $500,000 of his own money on an unsuccessful bid in the Republican primary for U.S. Congress.
In a seven way race, Ken Reed came in second place, garnering 7,848 votes (22 percent) to Congressman Alex Mooney's 12,678 votes (36 percent).
In the Republican primary on May 8, Tally Reed will face off against former Delegate Larry Kump, who held the seat from 2010 to 2014.
Kump was defeated by then 17-year-old Saira Blair in 2014 in the Republican primary. Kump garnered 729 votes (45 percent) to Blair's 875 votes (55 percent).
The only Democrat in the May 8 primary is newcomer and recent West Virginia Law School graduate John Isner.

Longmont High School has 906 students this semester, but only 1 certainly made a difference. This one student had a highly virulent strain of tuberculosis, and infected at least 120 students. Now, more than 13 percent of the student body have TB, and hundreds more are at risk. Also at risk are administrators, teachers and staff.
The identity of the student has been concealed, but this is troubling. While privacy laws are important, when a student infects a huge portion of the student body, shouldn't we know something about him or her? Who is this person? How did they contract the disease? Are they a refugee or illegal? These are questions that must be asked, and asked quickly, or your own children and grandchildren will be at risk themselves.
Currently, it is illegal to ask about the legal status of a student. However, this flies in the face of common protections. According to a report released in 2005 in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, the illegal and refugee populations were reintroducing dangerous illnesses back into the U.S. population. Among those specified were tuberculosis, and its reemergence was directly linked to the illegal alien population. In fact, it is unlikely that a legal citizen started this epidemic. However, we have become so politically correct in our brainless, mainstream news reporting that you won't hear this discussed on the major networks today.
Today in Weld District 6 there are 54 languages currently spoken, and 53 nations of birth origin among the students. Undoubtedly some of them are illegal or refugees, and without a doubt some of them carry latent strains of various illnesses from their homelands. Is a new "Longmont" just waiting to boil up and infect the local student body in District 6, Windsor, or a district in Weld County? It could happen any moment.
The District 6 school board should be learning from this, and must take steps to protect the health of students, faculty and staff. If not, they may experience a certain degree of student loss as parents remove their children so they will not be at risk. With the overly protective laws and structures that guard the illegal, the refugee and the individual, the only safe schools these days may be home schools after all.

One&Only Cape Town Roars In Support of SA Wildlife
Gala Events Support the "Forever Wild" Lion
An estimated 70% of lions in SA are being bred for hunting and the illegal trade in lion products is growing. Conservationists are concerned that Africa's most iconic symbol is becoming – like the rhinoceros – worth more money dead than a alive.
We are please to share that our partners at The One&Only Cape Town are supporting the "Forever Wild" lion conservation initiative, organized through the Wilderness Foundation. Last year's gala event at the luxury resort in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront netted the Foundation's rhino protection campaign nearly R300,000 (almost $30,000). The monies funded an anti-poaching vehicle, which has been in place on a reserve in Mpumalanga, a province in eastern South Africa near the border of Mozambique. There have been no incidents of rhino poaching since the vehicle went into serivce – a remarkable testament to its efficacy in this conservation battle.
The annual One&Only Cape Town gala charity auction on behalf of the Wilderness Foundation will take place once again in the resort's glamorous Ballroom on September 18, 2014. South Africa's master chef Reuben Riffel will present a three-course menu with wines sponsored by Kleine Zalze of Stellenbosch. Star auctioneer Ariella Kuper will encourage guests to bid generously for stellar items including a work by renowned British royal portrait painter Richard Stone, a bespoke Nobu cocktail party for 20 people at the successful contributor's home, the ultimate Spa experience by ESPA and artisanal appliances by KitchenAid South Africa.
Respected local and international conservation organizations, among them the Endangered Wildlife Trust, warn that rapidly dwindling numbers of rhino (in Africa) and tiger (in Asia) are prompting trans-national poaching syndicates to switch their attention to other species in their "traditional medicine" rackets. Their efforts have succeeded in promoting products that contain lion bones for "curing" afflictions. According to the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Carnivore Conservation Programme, the lion-bone trade in South Africa was rapidly becoming a serious concern, with traders offering hunting-farm owners upwards of R30,000 per skeleton. Existing trade, she maintains, will probably stimulate demand for lion bones which – in turn – will have implications for "wild" as well as captive lion populations.
"Lion numbers in Africa have decreased from nearly 200,000 a century ago to fewer than 30,000 living in the wild today," says Dr Andrew Muir, director of the Wilderness Foundation. "Of those that can be found in South Africa, only about 2,000 can be described as 'free-ranging'."
"Free-ranging" means the lions are able to roam almost without restriction. In South Africa, that means within the Kruger National and Kgalagadi Transfrontier parks. "Increased habitat loss and the failure to combat the growing but rapidly increasing trade in lion bones could see this drop even ruther. If current trends continue, it is expected that half of the unfenced lion population might decline to near extinction over the next 20 to 40 years," says Muir.

Donald Trump: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!" — PolitiFact National on Thursday, August 17th, 2017
Disclosure: I'm not a big fan of President Trump's tweets. I prefer my presidents to be more in the Abraham Lincoln mold. But, on the other hand, in this age of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, maybe Trump is a more skillful communicator than he is given credit for. Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert, one of my favorite newspaper cartoons, has commented on this in a very insightful blog post titled, "Persuading Terrorist Cowards." It's worth reading.
PolitiFact's Argument
This is my fourth look at a PolitiFact pants-on-fire claim against President Trump. And here is the exact tweet that PolitiFact takes issue with: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"
PolitiFact rates this as a pants-on-fire lie for the following reasons:
- There is no evidence that General Pershing shot Muslim insurgents with bullets dipped in pig's blood.
- Trump got the idea from a popular culture myth.
- In fact, President Trump got it wrong about the harshness of General Pershing's tactics. Pershing put a lot of effort into 'winning the hearts and minds' of the Muslim insurgents on Moro.
- It's highly unlikely that any Muslim would be deterred by pig's blood.
- After Pershing's 4-year tour as governor of the mainly Muslim Moro province in the Philippines, the violence didn't stop for the next 25 or 35 years as President Trump said. It remained a place of unrest. The violence there continued for some time after 1913, the year Pershing left.
My Opinion
- PolitiFact rated President Trump's August 17, 2017 tweet as 'pants-on-fire' because they flat-out don't believe his story about Muslim terrorists being executed by General Pershing with bullets dipped in pig blood, or that that practice brought peace to the land.
- As an alert reader, I'm sure you've already noticed that President Trump doesn't mention pig's blood or executions in his tweet. So where does PolitiFact get this from?
- For its argument, PolitiFact assumed President Trump was referencing something he said a year earlier on February 16, 2016, and to which comment PolitiFact had already attached its 'pants-on-fire' label. PolitiFact
- We could discuss all day whether PolitiFact should be writing up duplicate 'pants-on-fire' claims for the same statement, and then double-counting them when they publish their aggregate number of pants-on-fire claims against President Trump. But let's ignore that for the present.
- We could also discuss all day the ethics of PolitiFact 'mind reading' President Trump and presuming they knew exactly what he was referring to in his August 2017 tweet about General Pershing's handling of terrorists in the Philippines. In his tweet, President Trump invited people 'to study' what General Pershing did. Maybe President Trump read PolitiFact's 2016 pants-on-fire claim on the subject and has since studied up on the subject himself and learned something new. Maybe not. We don't know, and neither does PolitiFact. But let's also ignore that for the present.
- For the present, let's go back to President Trump's February 2016 statement about Muslim insurgents being deterred from terrorism by the fear of being executed by a bullet smeared with pig's blood. Where in heck did President Trump get that from? PolitiFact thinks it's a ridiculous urban legend with no basis in fact.
- In fact, the essence of the story was first told in 2002 by Florida Democratic Senator Bob Graham, then chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Is President Trump to be called a liar because he repeated a story told by the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee? Of course not. And if the terrorist/pig story is false, shouldn't Democratic Senator Graham have been the target of PolitiFact's accusations and not President Trump.
- To review:
- In August 2017, PolitiFact wrote an entire 'pants-on-fire' accusation against President Trump, not based on what he wrote in a tweet, but based on combining what he wrote in that tweet with something he's said the year before and for which they had already labeled him a liar.
- The story in question was first told by the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2002. President Trump was simply repeating the story, albeit a somewhat exaggerated version.
- PolitiFact's final point is a rather subjective one. They are positive that whatever General Pershing did in the Philippines, it certainly didn't bring peace to the land for 35 years. Well, the history books say that the Muslim Moro province rebellion lasted from 1899 to 1913. In other words, the rebellion stopped in 1913, the year that Pershing left.
Here is where PolitiFact got its story wrong:
General Pershing did take extraordinary and controversial steps to control Islamic Terrorism when he was fighting Muslim insurgents during the Philippine war. And he believed those steps were effective.
Below, are a series of quotes. The first quote, strangely, comes from PolitiFact. It was used in the PolitiFact article to support their claim against President Trump, but it seems to me PolitiFact missed an important point in their own quote. Major Bell is offering his support to Pershing in maintaining a practice that Pershing already had been enforcing. From PolitiFact:
…the editor of the 2013 edition, John T. Greenwood, cited a letter about the incident from Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, the commander of the Philippines Division, to Pershing: "Of course there is nothing to be done, but I understand it has long been a custom to bury (insurgents) with pigs when they kill Americans. I think this a good plan, for if anything will discourage the (insurgents) it is the prospect of going to hell instead of to heaven. You can rely on me to stand by you in maintaining this custom. It is the only possible thing we can do to discourage crazy fanatics. PolitiFact: Trump retells story
This next quote is from an August 17, 2017 article in the Washington Examiner:
"The story is highly controversial because it suggests that the government has used a deliberate form of religious discrimination as a successful anti-terror tactic. A 2009 biography of Pershing by Jim Lacey, a military analyst for the Institute for Defense Analyses, claimed to confirm that Pershing did use the tactic. Washington Examiner: Trump repeats story
"Until now the historical verdict is that this was a vicious rumor and while it may have happened in occasion, Pershing neither knew about it nor, given his humane outlook, would have condoned such an action. That verdict is wrong as Pershing's own unpublished autobiography states," Lacey wrote in Pershing: A Biography, published by PalGrave MacMillan.
The book then cites an unpublished letter by Pershing: "These juramentado attacks were materially reduced in number by a practice the Army had already adopted, one that the Mohammedans held in abhorrence: The bodies were publicly buried in the same grave with a dead pig. It was not pleasant to have to take such measures but the prospect of going to hell instead of heaven sometimes deterred the would-be assassins."
Further, an August 17, 2017 New York Daily News articles quoted Lacey again:
"There is evidence that he committed what we would call war crimes, chopping off heads and burying insurgents in pig skin, and that's from his own autobiography," told the Daily News. Lacey said that he discovered the admission, missing from other accounts of the general's life, for work on his own biography of Pershing. He added that the story was out of character for the general, who he described as a model for the "nation-building" strategy in U.S. foreign military engagements."
This final quote below shows that President Trump was not just repeating an urban legend. He was repeating a story told by the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
"Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham (D-Fla.) cited as an example a dinner he attended last week with people who work on intelligence issues and have connections to the intelligence community. The dinner conversation ranged in part on how U.S. military commander "Black Jack" Pershing used Islam's prohibition on pork to help crush an insurgency on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao after the Spanish-American War at the turn of the last century. In one instance, Graham explained in an interview, U.S. soldiers captured 12 Muslims. They killed six of them with "bullets dipped into the fat of pigs." After that, Graham said, the U.S. soldiers wrapped the Muslim rebels in funeral shrouds made of pigskin and "buried them face down so they could not see Mecca. Then they poured the entrails of the pigs over them. The other six were forced to watch. And that was the end of the insurrection on Mindanao," Graham noted." LA Times: Trump
Now let's go back and judge the original PolitiFact pants on fire claims against President Trump:
- PolitiFact: There is no evidence that General Pershing's men shot Muslim insurgents with bullets dipped in pig's blood. My opinion: Agreed. They used pig's fat not pig's blood. Though truth be told, I'm not sure how you smear something with pig's fat and not get a little blood mixed in there too. And let's also not lose sight of the fact that President Trump's 2017 tweet said nothing about shooting Muslim terrorists with bullets of any kind.
- PolitiFact: Trump got the idea from a popular culture myth. My opinion: False. The basic facts behind the story were told by Senator Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
- PolitiFact: In fact, President Trump got it wrong about the harshness of General Pershing's tactics. My opinion: False. Letters and Pershing's own autobiography clearly show he used pig's skins, and more, to discourage rebels.
- PolitiFact: It's highly unlikely that any Muslim would be deterred by tactics involving pigs, etc. My opinion: False. Reports from 'boots on the ground' clearly show Pershing and other officers thought the method effective.
- PolitiFact: After Pershing's 4-year tour as governor of the mainly Muslim Moro province in the Philippines, the violence didn't stop for the next 25 or 35 years as President Trump said. It remained a place of unrest. The violence there continued for some time after 1913, the year Pershing left. My opinion: False. The war ended in 1913. However, according to the historical record, some minor violence did continue periodically in Moro province in the decades after Pershing. However, was there a recurrence of the Radical Islamic Terror that President Trump referred to? I honestly don't know. I couldn't find any reference to it in my research. And neither could PolitiFact. Certainly, Muslim combatants fighting for their independence is not the same as Radical Islamic Terror.
My ruling: For this ill-advised attempt to label President Trump a liar, I award PolitiFact the "Golden Shovel" award. Next time they need to dig deeper. When I research something all I have is Google. Surely, the PolitiFact reporters working for the Tampa Bay Times have access to more research databases than I have. How come I could find that additional information on Pershing and Senator Graham and they couldn't?
Given the sheer number of 'pants-on-fire' statements PolitiFact has attributed to President Trump, there is no doubt that PolitiFact is 'on a mission.' But wow! Couldn't they find 'lies' that were, well, actual lies. Apparently not. Or at least not so far. Four down, seventeen PolitiFact statements to go! Maybe PolitiFact will get the next one right.
In my next post, I will tackle PolitiFact's assertion that President Trump lied when he said: Amazon has a "no-tax monopoly." on Wednesday, July 26th, 2017

The Fulton County Economic Development Division is pleased to announce the launch of http://www.fultonecondev.org. This new webpage provides businesses with useful information on Fulton County, tax incentives, and resources for doing business in the County.
This webpage is the first component of the Economic Development Division's online information-sharing and connectivity strategies, and it will be enhanced using a generational approach. The first generation uses a design that complements the Fulton County Government website. As a newly formed division, the goal is to connect the two entities and show the direct relationship between the Economic Development Division and the departments, agencies and services available in Fulton County.
The second generation of the site will offer more robust, interactive functionality. The broader vision includes allowing visitors to research County statistics, explore available real estate inventories, view GIS maps, view webinars, and peruse articles and whitepapers. The site will also evolve to provide an online forum for discussions with like-minded business leaders.
"We understand that organizations would like multiple paths to explore the County with the ability to manage how they interact with the Division", states Kenneth Dobson, Economic Development Division Administrator. "We want to provide dynamic content that moves potential business and real estate investors from being generally interested in Fulton County to locating their offices or manufacturing facilities here."
Another goal for the Economic Division is directed toward business retention. "There are local businesses who have invested in this community, and we would like to keep them here", maintains Dobson. "This means, we will offer insights, advice, and a platform for businesses to grow and expand with the help of our development specialists and online service delivery."
Mr. Dobson believes that in order for Fulton County to grow, there must be an increase in the County's connectivity, engagement, collaboration, strategic alliances and partnerships with the entire public, private and education sectors of Fulton's economy.

Keep Point of Care in Front of Your Upfronts
PatientPoint had the honor of sponsoring the Top 25 DTC Marketers and Hall of Fame awards at this year's DTC National. During Hall of Fame inductee Christine Sakdalan's passionate acceptance speech, one of her quotes really stood out, as it touched on some very relevant topics within our industry.
She said: "More than ever, we have the great privilege and responsibility in healthcare to positively impact people's lives. To make a meaningful difference in patient outcomes, we must purposefully lead with compassion and empathy, engage in relevant dialogue and foster partnership across the healthcare ecosystem."
These values that Christine noted need to be at the forefront of decision-making during planning season. Lead with empathy. Engage in meaningful dialogue. Foster partnership. If your marketing strategy is built on these foundational tenants, and delivers relevant messaging to the patient at the time he or she needs the information the most, a positive impact is a near guarantee.
I see proof of this daily as I work with our client partners to create plans that enable their brands to be a part of the important discussions between patients and physicians. Sharing compelling testimonials, savings offers, clinical trial results and other similar information in the doctor's office offers patients the guidance and empowerment they need at this time, making your brand a true partner to not only patients but their healthcare providers as well.
With all the news about consumers losing trust in brands today, it seems now more than ever is the time we collectively focus our efforts on what truly matters the most—the patient. This may involve a change from your tried and true marketing tactics, instead thinking outside the box to focus more on the channels, like point of care, that enable you to truly connect with patients and physicians and, as Christine so well noted in her speech, make a meaningful difference in patients' lives. PatientPoint can help you do just that.

Then Police Received a Tip Steven Dishman will have to complete his original 7-year sentence in Arkansas By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted Jun 26, 2017 9:30 AM CDT Copied Booking photos for Steven Dishman from 1984 (left) and 2017. (Arkansas Department of Correction) (Newser) – After three decades on the lam, an Arkansas man has been quickly reacquainted with life behind bars. Steven Dishman, 60—who was five months into a seven-year sentence for burglary and property theft when he escaped from the Cummins Unit in Lincoln County, Ark., on May 28, 1985, reports KTHV—was arrested Sunday at a home in Springdale in the northwestern part of the state, report Arkansas Online and KFSM. Arkansas State Police and local cops raided the home after receiving a tip. A rep for the Arkansas Department of Correction tells Fox 16 that Dishman will now be required to serve the remainder of his sentence. Dishman may also face additional charges related to his escape, the details of which were not immediately explained. Had Dishman stayed in jail, he would have been eligible for parole in 1987 and freed by 1991. (Read more Arkansas stories.)
