Writer: Sergio G Sanchez (Screenplay)
Starring: George MacKay, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Mia Goth, Matthew Stagg, Nicola Harrison, Kyle Soller
Plot: A young man and his three younger siblings, who have kept secret the death of their beloved mother in order to remain together, are plagued by a sinister presence in the sprawling manor in which they live.
Tagline – No One Will Ever Separate Us
Runtime: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
There may be spoilers the rest of the review
Verdict: Beautifully Shot Horror Mystery
Story: Marrowbone starts as we meet the newly named Marrowbones, Mother (Harrison) and siblings Jack (MacKay), Billy (Heaton), Jane (Goth) and Sam (Stagg), they have escaped from England on the run from their father, they set up a home in the country away from anyone and look to stay in hiding.
When mother dies, Jack must take responsibility for the family, keeping them safe until he is 21, where he can now become the guardian, but things take a turn when an unexpected guest changes everything they want to keep secret.
Thoughts on Marrowbone
Characters – Jack is the eldest sibling, he will become the guardian to the rest once he hits 21, he does the jobs to keep food on their table, saving face about his mother and does everything he can to protect his siblings. Allie is the girl next door literally, she becomes friends with the family, but when Jack tells her mother is sick, she must stay away and the two keep their relationship secret from the rest of the town, she is very well educated for the time the film is set 1969 (we see the moon landing on a television) and she could leave the small town and achieve greatness. Billy is the hot-headed of the siblings, he will get the dirty work done, but is also get tired of being trapped in the home. Jane is the sister and does the general cleaning jobs around the house, she will also be Sam's mother if anyone asked. Sam is the youngest of the siblings, bubbling bursting to enjoy his young life, everything is an adventure to him, but we learn early on he can mis-read shapes to be ghosts. Porter is the town's lawyer that does have a crush on Allie, he works for the Marrowbone's and starts getting nosier than he should have.
Performances – This movie has an impressive cast of young actors that are making names for themselves. George MacKay is the standout here, he shows incredible range and could easily have given one of the best male performances in horror this year. Anya Taylor-Joy continues to impress, while this character is more withdrawn from the horror side of things, she keeps us interested in her every action. Charlie Heaton, Mia Goth and Matthew Stagg complete the siblings list and each is great, when Stagg's character is upset, you do complete feel with him too.
Story – Th story is one of the most interesting and fascinating ones to be watching this year, in the opening 5 or 10 minutes we learn where the characters have come from, what they are hiding from and just how much will change in a moment, all this before the title appears. We see how things unfold and how the secret needs to be kept, though nothing will prepare you for the direction this movie will end up going in. I just don't want to get into any true details of this film, if loved the set up and you will spend the rest of the film trying to unravel the events of the opening sequence.
Horror/Mystery – This brings be to my only negative for the film, though it is surrounding in a positive, the horror in the film, while set up nicely is mostly predictable, though most of the horror in the early part of the film does try to get explained away as seen in the trailer, as a way to protect young Sam. The mystery is what we have come to see now, we are left guessing through nearly every scene and by the end, you will feel like you didn't want to solve this mystery.
Settings – The film puts our family in a remote mansion by the beach outside of a small town, we learn why they are off the grid and this gives us some of the most beautiful countryside shots you will see in a horror film.
Scene of the Movie – Reading the Story.
That Moment That Annoyed Me – One part feels slightly off, but it is spoiler heavy so won't mention it.
Final Thoughts – When it comes to horror films people will want different things, if you want blood and gore, this won't work for you, if you want a beautiful story that has a horrific side to it, this one will be for you.
Overall: The most wonderfully shot horror of the year.

Just because The Frames are the BIGGEST band in Ireland (even rivaling U2), doesn't mean they rest on their laurels in the rest of the world. Over the last few years, they have built an impressive North American fan base from scratch. The Frames put on an incredible dynamic live show and their constant touring both on their own and with DAMIEN RICE, CALEXICO and THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS has paid off to the point where they sell out large clubs in all of the major cities.
Burn The Maps is their first studio album for Anti and it is also their most cohesive. Until now, The Frames' music favoured bi-polar swings, violently loud on one song, violently quiet the next. On Burn The Maps, their fifth studio album, the band have reconciled their various personalities into one volatile organism, synthesizing gorgeous melancholy with full-blown anger.
"The Frames sing about love and death and revelation. They pick folky ballads full of quiet longing; they seethe and mourn; they build crescendos and taper down to fiddle tunes and build again, making hearts surge every time"—*NY Times*

So last weekend I went shopping and stopped by Sephora looking at the polish. I decided I kind of liked the feathered looking polish from Nails Inc. I had bought a bunch of micro slices in different colors and made a polish using them. Since the polish I made is so colorful, I thought it would look best over either a very light or very dark color and went with a dark duochrome polish.
I started off with 3 coats of Orly Royal Velvet. I applied 2 coats of my polish... A Flock of Parrots. I thought I would throw in a picture of the pretty birds.
A Flock of Parrots has blue, yellow, peach, red, hot pink, green, and a pinch of silver holo.
I really like the way this polish turned out.

It's well known that dull mower blades reduce the visual quality of turf by shredding the tips of the grass blades, producing a discolored cast. Do dull mower blades have effects that are more than cosmetic? Researchers at the University of Nebraska conducted research to address that question and found some interesting answers.
Drs. Don Steinegger and Robert Shearman (former NTEP president) mowed turf plots multiple times with a dull blade and observed the effects. First, the researchers found that dull blades increased disease susceptibility, which is consistent with other research findings. Presumably, this was due to greater pathogen entry sites in the shredded leaf tips. However, this effect occurred only with susceptible varieties. Varieties noted for their resistance to the diseases in question were not worse off due to the dull blades.
Second, the research found that water use decreased with the dull blades. This is contrary to some published literature suggesting the opposite. This belief was probably based on the assumption that the shredded leaf tips offered more surface area from which water could evaporate.
However, the Nebraska researchers found that turf cut with a sharper blade actually used 33 percent more water than the turf mowed with a dull blade. They think this is due to the slower growth rate of the turf mowed with a dull blade. The researchers caution that using a dull blade may not be the most pragmatic way to conserve water, noting that reduced visual quality, greater disease and slower growth more than offset the benefits of lower water use.
The third result of this study is perhaps the most surprising. Steinegger and Shearman found that a sharp mower blade cut fuel consumption by 22 percent. It makes sense that a dull blade would produce more resistance, but this study shows that the difference in fuel consumption is more than a theoretical consideration.

Israel waging covert war across Middle East
February 17, 2010 Leave a comment
Israel is waging a covert assassination campaign across the Middle East in an effort to stop its key enemies co-ordinating their activities. Israeli agents have been targeting meetings between members of Hamas and the leadership of the militant Hezbollah group, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. They are also suspected of recent killings in Dubai, Damascus and Beirut. While Israel's Mossad spy agency has been suspected of staging assassinations across the world since the 1970s, it does not officially acknowledge or admit its activities.
The current spate of killings began in December when a "tourist bus" carrying Iranian officials and Hamas members exploded outside Damascus. The official report by Syria claimed that a tyre had exploded but photographs surfaced showing the charred remains of the vehicle — prompting speculation that a much larger explosion had taken place. Several weeks later a meeting between members of Hamas, which controls Gaza, and their counterparts from Hezbollah in its southern Beirut stronghold in Lebanon was also attacked, resulting in several deaths. Hamas had sought to cover up the incidents because it was embarrassed, a senior Palestinian official in Ramallah told The Times.
"There has been growing co-operation between Gaza and Iran. Israel can read the writing on the wall and they know that with the help of Iran, the Hamas Government in Gaza will become stronger and will fight better. "But Israel is overstepping their boundaries. Other countries don't want to become a killing field for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Most recently, the top Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed in Dubai on January 19, 2010. He is believed to have been poisoned by a woman who visited his room at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai. Israeli officials said that Mabhouh had been a key figure in procuring Iranian-made longer-range rockets for Hamas that could be fired at targets in central Israel. Read more of this post

In a couple of days, I leave for my annual trip to England, where I will visit family and do sightseeing touristy things and, most importantly, attend a convention. It's Nine Worlds Geekfest again. I went last year and had a fantastic time, so I'm excited about being there again this year.
As convention season is now in full swing, and my brain is mostly consumed by packing lists and schedule checking, a quick primer on good convention survival tips seems appropriate. After all, you can never have too many tips, right?
Eat, drink, sleep, and be merry!
Add shower to that list. Very important.
Many people will give ratios for the sleep-meals-shower plan, usually in the vicinity of 6-2-1. It's all about self-care, so the ratios don't work for everyone. Aim for whatever is your personal minimum for enough sleep to be functional and cheerful for several days of high-intensity braining and socialising. If that's six, go for it. If that's eight, don't accept anything less. It may seem fine to have two hours sleep on the first night of the convention, but you'll be sagging (and possibly bad-tempered) by the end if you do. To enjoy the con fully, SLEEP.
And remember to eat and hydrate. Breakfast is key: take full advantage of whatever breakfast your hotel provides (or buy something substantial if you have to go out) and think of that as your base for the day. If the con gets really busy, you may not have time for three big meals, so make sure you start the day well. Carry granola/cereal bars with you. Stock your room with some snacks you like. Try to stop for another decent meal through the day, but if you don't, make sure you breakfast well and snack plenty.
And drink tons of water. That'll help even more than the food. Carry a water bottle and refill it whenever you pass a fountain. Trust me, you'll be grateful you did that.
At least one shower a day is key, for everyone at the convention. Including you. It keeps the air smelling fresh(ish) for everyone, and a shower when you get up can help a lot if the sleeping thing goes awry. A second shower later in the day is also a great pick-me-up if you're flagging. I ❤ showers at conventions.
Take a couple of extra t-shirts with you. If you're tired and sweaty and want to have a freshening up shower, a clean t-shirt to pull on after will feel *amazing*.
Check the schedule before the con
If you're on any panels, make sure you know the time and location. I always put them in my phone calendar, so if everything fails and I lose my programme and my badge doesn't list them and there's no WiFi to check the schedule online, I still get to my programme items on time. Helpfully, putting them into your calendar should also remind you about your programme item if you've got alerts set up. (Please do that.) Go to the room your panel(s) will be in early in the con, so you know how to get there and don't get lost on the way. Your fellow panellists will be rolling eyes and silently judging if you show up fifteen minutes late, trust me.
Also check the schedule for anything you really, really, really have to see. I wing it a bit when I'm at a con, because people talk me into unexpectedly interesting things, but I make sure I've highlighted/calendared/whatevered the stuff I most want to see before I even get to the con. It's disappointing to realise that talk on dragon biology you really wanted to do was two hours ago and you'd forgotten about it or your mental note had the wrong time.
Socialise! (Which is not networking, nope)
I understand that, for some people, the social aspect of a convention is awful due to anxiety and horrible shyness. If that's you, ignore this part. Do what you need to do to make the convention enjoyable for you. Conventions with a good accessibility policy have quiet rooms, which are designed for people who need time out to decompress from all the noise and crowds. They're for you, so don't be afraid to use them. And don't be scared to stick to your room when you're not in programme items. That's also an A-okay valid choice. You're supposed to enjoy a convention, and that means doing what you're comfortable with.
For everyone who does like a bit of social time, don't get yourself so over-scheduled with programme items you *must* see that you miss out on the social side of a convention. You can make friendships that last for years at a con, because everyone is there to geek out about the same stuff together. My regular con roommate is someone I met at my very first convention and we always have a blast together. If you're an aspiring pro, don't look at every bar and con social as a networking event. Everyone sees what you're doing, believe me. Socialise. It's not the same. The people you'll meet may or may not be useful to your career, but that's not what matters. Conventions are about joining a community of fans. Networking comes after.
Most conventions have some kind of social event on the last night. Dead Dog Party, or farewell picnic, or something. It's worth sticking around for the last night, instead of going home after the closing ceremony, because sometimes this is when the best conversations of the weekend happen.
If you're new to conventions and don't know anyone, don't panic! Most cons have sessions early in the schedule for new people to meet and socialise. I highly recommend checking them out.
My other tip for meeting people: volunteer. Check out what positions are needed, match your skills to them, and volunteer. Gopher, tech, and registration are all great positions for newbies to conventions. You'll meet people, you'll bond with your fellow volunteers and be introduced to other people, and you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you helped the con to happen.
Follow the convention Twitter feed and hashtag
Don't be glued to your phone, but do check the con's Twitter feed every now and again and take a peek at the hashtag. Theoretically, any changes or announcements should be posted on pieces of paper somewhere around the convention. It's a good theory. It doesn't always work, and announcements like "I lost my blue water bottle! Has anyone seen it?" rarely make it to the boards. So, take a quick gander at the Twitters when you have a couple of minutes, just to see what's going on around the con.
Be respectful
Read the convention's code of conduct or similar policy. Respect it. If you think you'll have trouble following it…I don't know what to say to you. Because it's not actually *that difficult*.
Don't be the person who ruins someone else's day with a thoughtlessly cruel remark or a cosplay that takes cultural appropriate to the max and then some. If you wouldn't say it or do it around your friends, family, and work colleagues, think about whether it's appropriate to say or do at a con.
Lastly…have fun!
I'm not sure I need to explain how to this, do I?

So picture this… a week before Halloween and my boyfriend and I decide we will just have a quiet Halloween in, watching scary movies. Fast forward to Saturday when, to my surprise, my boyfriend asked if I was ready to go yet? Apparently we had been invited to a party that he simply forgot to tell me about.
And thus, the Risky Business costume was born. One quick top in my closet, I grabbed a white dress shirt from my boyfriend, donned some knee high white socks and tighty-whities and I was almost set. Add in some classic raybans and a killer pose… BOOM! I'm like Tom Cruise's twin!

"Cry me a river" I know you're going to say, but being a coach (in any capacity) can be a tough gig, some days!
When you're trying to help people get their arms around a massive topic like job hunting, and you've only got a few hours to work, you really have to pick your battles and call your shots. Some people are "information sponges" and want you to hose them down with as much information as possible, as quickly as possible. Others need more time to process certain insights and will do better if you go slowly, one step at a time. And others, still, aren't really looking for advice at all. They're burnt out, frustrated, and confused — and are merely looking for a sympathetic ear into which to vent their anxieties.
In the midst of all this, though, I try to stick to a single guiding principle. Regardless of the situation at hand, and how many wild tangents a client and I might end up going off on in a particular meeting, I strive to have the people I meet with leave each appointment clear about one critical thing: what's the next step they need to take to get closer to success?
Now this isn't the most original idea in the world, I realize. But as a coach, I think that "action" is an anchor we can all cling to when we're feeling a bit lost and confused about a situation we're in. In fact, I wrote a blog article years ago about this very topic, emphasizing that the job hunter who is unclear about the "next step they need to take" in their search is at high risk of floundering and prolonging the time they're in the market. Here's the article I penned, if you're curious:
In short, no matter what challenge in life you may be facing, it's a safe bet that doing nothing — or doing nothing different than what you've BEEN doing — is not usually the path to salvation. You need to come up with the best possible game plan for moving forward and then you need to work this plan, methodically, day after day. That's where a professional coach can help. If you're simply not all that clear on the next move you need to make, or are struggling to hold yourself accountable for taking these actions, an effective coach (or even a close friend willing to kick you in the butt) can help focus your efforts and come up with a clear, step-by-step set of action items to start working through as your time and energy level permits.
And even on those "down days" when you just can't seem to muster up the strength to do something spectacular, you can least knock off some quick or trivial part of the plan that allows you to keep making a degree of progress, however small. Perhaps that's the day you update your LinkedIn profile. Or order some business cards. Or go get a new professional mugshot taken. Or spend some time learning a new software program relevant to your field.
Ultimately, though, the onus is on you to bring an "action bias" to your efforts and to be clear about the sequence of next steps you need to take in order to achieve your goals. And if you commit to your plan and keep putting one foot in front of the other, so to speak, you're going to be a lot better off than if you just wing it each day. Succumbing to "paralysis of analysis" has been the bane of many a job seeker. Or as another career expert I greatly admire (Herminia Ibarra) aptly puts it, in her book Working Identity, it's a lot easier to "act your way into a new way of thinking than to think your way into a new way of acting."
Amen to that. She's got it absolutely right. So whether you're going through the career transition process on your own, or working with a professional in some capacity, you can always fall back to this cardinal principle. Focus on taking meaningful action, each day, toward your ultimate goals, recognizing that it's a sloppy process and that "learning as you go" is going to be the order of the day. The answers to your career future are not in your head. They're out there in the marketplace. And if you set a goal and just keep talking, talking, talking with a consistent stream of relevant people and organizations, you'll be putting yourself in the best possible position for success!

While it is not a large part of the program, family provided care under the PA Medicaid Waiver program is getting larger.
There are two ways a family member can provide care to a medically appropriate relative and get compensated under the Medicaid Waiver program. The person can get hired by a homecare agency that is part of the Waiver program and then be assigned to their family member. Or the person can be hired by the Waiver recipient or another family member who becomes the Common Law Employer (CLE) and the person providing care becomes the Direct Care Worker (DCW). Pennsylvania currently contracts with a company called Public Partnerships Limited (PPL) to administer this program.

Jim Carrey's Deceased Ex-Girlfriend Made Some Serious Allegations Against Him
Hope you're having a good weekend. Jim Carrey's probably not. Ace Ventura, Pet Detective should have maybe been called Ace Ventura, Incredibly Bad Influence according to a letter allegedly written by the actor's ex-girlfriend Cathriona "Cat" White. Carrey is currently being sued for wrongful death by Cat's estranged husband Mark Burton and her mother Brigid Sweetman. She committed suicide by overdosing on drugs in September of 2015, and they've accused him of using a false name to provide her with said drugs. Cat had been Carrey's on-again-off-again ex since 2012.
People reports that Burton and Sweetman's legal team is claiming that, "during a forensic examination of Ms. White's iPad," they unearthed a letter she had written to Carrey in April of 2013. In it, she accuses him of introducing her to "cocaine, prostitutes, mental abuse and disease." No wonder why Jenny McCarthy ran screaming to a New Kid on the Block.
In the letter, she accuses him of giving her STDs and basically says she wants an apology for that as well as wanting him to know that he "broke me down as a person." She also explained how much her life changed after Jim allegedly got her involved with the seamy side of Hollywood. via attorney Michael Avenatti and People:
Cat's husband and mom are claiming that Jim used the name "Arthur King" to procure the drugs for his ex.
Jim filed a counter-suit against Cat's lawyer Filippo Marchino (and his firm), Burton, Sweetman, and their legal teams claiming that the lawsuit is just the latest in a series of extortion attempts by them. Sweetman's attorney Michael Avenatti says that he can't wait to go to trial.
Avenatti claimed in a statement that the "note, written in Cat's own words, shows the world how Jim Carrey treated her while she was alive and the depths of his destructive behavior. We look forward to trying our case to a Los Angeles jury."
Michael Avenatti also claims that Jim is "incoherent and unhinged" and "needs help." Well, I did read the reviews for Dumb and Dumber To so yeah, maybe.
Jim and his legal eagle have both released statements that claim Cat and her attorney made all her accusations up and now her family is doing the same. They also say that this suit is just the second extortion attempt that's been made on him. Jim claims the first one was successful.
In a statement, Carrey said, "Unfortunately, I made the mistake three years ago of giving in and settling false claims made against me by Mr. Marchino, on behalf of Cat, as mounting a public defense is a very costly and painful process.
So, this whole situation is a sad mess. And it's a long, long way from Fire Marshall Bill.

Facebook and Instagram experienced an hourslong outage across the U.S. on Wednesday, and throngs of social media-savvy citizens experienced an existential crisis.
In the absence of the extremely popular platforms, many flooded Twitter to celebrate, despair or express deep suspicions over the outages.
Snapchat, another popular encrypted messaging app, was also down on Wednesday.
During those hours, some in the U.S. who tried to log into Facebook found themselves confronted with a note that said the company was down for "required maintenance" and that "Facebook Will Be Back Soon."
Ironically, Facebook employees also turned to Twitter to let users know that there was an issue.
"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps," the company tweeted. "We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."
Instagram issued a similar tweet, saying it knew the situation was "frustrating" and that the company was hard at work to resolve it.
Some people suspected that the outages indicated there was a sweeping cyberattack on the social media sites. Facebook quickly addressed the rumors, assuring users that the site blackouts were not an attack.
And while access to Facebook and Instagram were restored for some users, the many still left out continue to air their grievances on good ol' occasionally trusty Twitter.

Shel Belle Scraps has released a new kit that will be great to use to scrap your special holiday memories. Clicking on the image will take you to her store. By the way this kit will be on sale for just $2 on Tuesday at Stuff to Scrap. 🙂
Here's a page I made of Fiona helping me make our amazing tree gifts. We had so much fun working on them and the Christmas lights were a great touch.
For directions on making these cute little trees click HERE to check out this blog entry.
Then just for fun I made a page showing me when I was 5, just a year younger than Fi. I had planned on using a picture of me when I was 6 at Christmas, but there weren't a lot of photos of me that year, and in the only one of me from the front I was chewing on a Breyer horse's head. I think Fiona is a lot more mature at her age than I was at 6 and possibly still at 12. So here I am at age 5…

Full night Saturday with racing plus make-up features, kids bike races & RAD Night
By Mike Leone
June 7, 2012
(Hartford, OH)…Mother Nature has continued to play havoc with Sharon Speedway. After losing three of the four events in April, Saturdays in May improved until storms wiped out the second leg of the Bill Emig Memorial features on Sunday, May 27 followed by another rain out last Saturday.
Hopefully better weather is on the horizon for this Saturday (June 9) as it's a full show of
"Steel Valley Thunder" featuring the Governor Insurance Agency DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds, Barris Supply FASTRAK Late Models, Gibson Insurance Agency Stock Cars, Summit Racing Equipment Econo Mods, HTMA/Precise Racing Products Econo Mods and the Deforest Used Parts Mini Stocks. The Econo Mod and Mini Stock make-up features are also slated. Race time is 7 p.m. It's Globe Restaurant @ Truck World Night.
Saturday's promotions are RAD Racing Poster Contest Night along with kids bike races during intermission. The kids bike races are for those ages 3-12. There will be four separate groups. Helmets are required. Saturday's home-cooked meal is rigatoni and meatballs for $6.
The National Center for Prevention and Research Solutions, the RAD Racing Team, RAD Racer Amanda Stiffler, and Sharon Speedway are hosting the now twice rescheduled RAD Night at the Races Saturday. For over 20 years, the RAD Racing Team and Race Against Drugs have supported drug free youth through their partnership with motorsports.
RAD Racer Amanda Stiffler and Sharon Speedway are inviting students in elementary, middle/junior high, and high school to participate in the RAD at the Races Poster Contest. All youth participating in the poster contest will receive free entry to the event.
A winner from each school level will be selected and may be published in the Stay on Track Activity Book that will be distributed to children across the country in 2012. All winners will be recognized on the RAD Racing Team website at www.radracingteam.org. Posters will be judged on creativity, application of racing theme, level of detail, originality and clarity. Entry forms are available at http://www.sharonspeedway.com/wp-content/u…-Entry-Form.pdf.
The only thing that has stopped Kevin Bolland Rex King this season is rain. The veteran racers have evenly split the four DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds features run to date with Bolland leading King by 12 points in the standings. Drivers like Dave Murdick, Jeremiah Shingledecker, Rex King, Jr., Dean Pearson, Jim Weller, Jr., Rob Kristyak, Kevin Hoffman, and Jim Rasey have all been fast, but have yet been to unseat the duo.
Two-time winner Will Thomas III is in his first full season of FASTRAK and has been impressive as he currently leads second year racer Matt Latta by 25 points. Max Blair won his first of the season during the Bill Emig Memorial, while Sunday's feature was rained out and will be made up on August 18. The next big FASTRAK event is June 23 for the second annual "Gary Knollinger Memorial" paying $2,000 to-win.
The E-Mods continue to fill the pits week in and week out. On May 26, a season high 37 cars turned out for the UEMS-sanctioned event. Joel Watson was able to become the season's fifth different winner in as many races in the competitive division joining Brent Rhebergen, Mike Kinney, Jack Young and Joe Gabrielson. Interestingly enough, it's Shawn Shingledecker atop the standings by seven over Young.
The Stock Cars will be back to regular rules on Saturday. Chris Schneider invaded and won on the "open" rules event, while the May 27 feature will be made up at the next "open" rules event on September 14. Tim Burns, who ironically won two "open" shows in 2011, leads the points by 10 over four-time champion Steve D'Apolito, who is looking for his first win of the season. While the Stock Car count has been early on, a few new cars were already in the pit area last Saturday before the races were rained out at 4:30 p.m.
A lot of points will be up for grabs on Saturday night for the Econo Mods as they will not only run their typical heats and feature, but also will begin the night with the May 27 make-up feature paying $350 to-win. Brandon Blackshear is the division's only repeat winner as he leads the points by nine over Brian Hathaway, who scored his first career win last month.
Like the Econo Mods, the Mini Stocks will also have a great opportunity to add points to their season totals as their $200 to-win May 27 make-up feature joins their regularly scheduled program. And like Blackshear, Bill Fuchs is the division's only repeat winner to date. Last year's top winner has his hands full this year as the competition has increased. The Greenville, Pa. racer leads Scott Gilliland by six points in his quest to defend his championship.
Pits open at 4 p.m. on Saturday with grandstands at 5 on Saturday. Race time is 7 p.m. Adult admission is $13 and pit passes are $25. Kids 13 and under are always free.
Sharon Speedway is owned by the Blaney, Weller, and Kirila Families and is a 3/8-mile dirt track located on Custer-Orangeville Road in Hartford, Ohio near the intersection of Routes 7 & 305.

Learning to Live with My Son's Anaphylaxis
Traveling with a toddler can be extremely nerve-wracking – especially when it's your first child. My experience was no different.
While dining at a hotel restaurant, the waitress handed my two-year-old a sippy cup to go with the breakfast I had packed him. After he took his first sip, he started moving his tongue in a funny way and crying. I immediately knew what was wrong and kicked myself for not checking: the sippy cup was full of milk – not water. My son, Joseph, was having a severe allergic reaction.
Without hesitation, I pulled down his jeans and pushed the epinephrine into his thigh while my husband ran to get the car. My hands were shaking. Joseph vomited. My brown-eyed baby boy was struggling for breath and his red face turned pale in the back seat on the way to the hospital. I felt like his life was leaving him as I helplessly sat and watched it happen.
When we got to the ER, he was quickly surrounded by people. They put him on oxygen and struggled to get the IV for epinephrine into Joseph. A doctor, more than likely sensing my distress, turned to me and said, "I have a kid at home myself, and I'm going to do all I can to help yours."
Luckily, Joseph was fine and we were able to take him home the next day. I couldn't stop kicking myself for not looking in that sippy cup before he drank out of it.
We knew Joseph had the potential for anaphylaxis. When he was nine months old, his nose began running and he broke out in hives after eating his first bite of yogurt. At first, my husband and I had no idea what was going on since no one in our families had allergies, much less a severe reaction to food. After testing, we found out Joseph was allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, milk and egg. Later, that list expanded to include soy, wheat, sesame, mustard and even strawberries, watermelon and cantaloupe. He's also been hospitalized several times from severe asthma attacks.
There have been certain challenges. People make negative comments about my decision to homeschool Joseph, and they often assume I'm just being a neurotic mother. But we choose to focus on the positive and have found ways to fight the stigma and keep him safe.
The ER doctor's words have stuck with me over the years. Throughout our journey with Joseph's condition, there have been a lot of empathetic people, like that doctor, who have gone above and beyond to make sure Joseph is not only safe, but also doesn't feel left out.
Everyone takes precautions.
Joseph's cousin is trained to use the epinephrine just in case something happens while they're playing. Joseph also wears a medical identification bracelet and always carries two epinephrine auto-injectors. In our house, we only cook foods that Joseph can eat (aside from my occasional non-gluten-free pasta indulgence). When he was little, I would make him his own cupcakes to have at birthday parties when the other kids had the birthday child's featured dessert. We stuck to applesauce, grilled chicken and steamed veggies for almost all of his meals. Luckily, the selection of foods available that he can eat has grown tremendously at grocery stores with more allergy-sensitive options, and so has my recipe repertoire. Still, any time we introduce a new food or product, it's a risk.
The anxiety is still there for all of us. But plenty of preparation, vigilance, communication and creativity help Joseph enjoy many experiences safely while navigating food allergies.
Joseph, now 12, sees a therapist to help with any issue he needs to talk through. His sense of humor helps, too.
As a mother of a child with anaphylaxis, I never stop worrying. At each stage in life there will be new challenges for Joseph – puberty, dating, college. But we focus on the positive – what Joseph can have and do. We take advantage of support groups and participate in the local Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) Walk for Food Allergy. And I share experiences and recipes with an online group.
We talk a lot about the future – Joseph wants to be an animator, or create video games or program websites. He also dreams about being the writer who writes the next Great American Novel.
I think of that first episode in the ER when Joseph was just a toddler as a learning experience. I'll never forget it, but I look at him now and I see a strong, vibrant, funny young man with his whole life ahead of him.
Wendy Mondello is the mother of two children and lives in Pawling, New York with her husband, Gary. In her blog, http://tasteofallergyfreeliving.blogspot.com/ , she writes about her experiences with her son Joseph's anaphylaxis.


text: Digital 5 Social Media Risks for Companies and Employees… And How To Prevent Them By ilanaarazie|June 10, 2010 Share By ilanaarazie|June 10, 2010 Share According to a new study based on IT governance groups, businesses need to know the risks of social media. The new study lists the five risks associated with Twitter, Facebook, and other popular social networking time-suckers. These warnings seem a bit hyper-vigilant, but one can never be too careful when it comes to your business. Read the five risks after the jump.John Pironti, an ISACA Certification Committee member says,"With social media, there are so many platforms and environments to learn. What are the implications of what could happen? People don't think of the damage that could occur to an organization. They see it as a way to explore relationship with work people. We take some of the social out of their lives by asking people to work longer hours. They're looking for a balance — to still have a relationship with friends and peers." Here are the committee's top risks when creating a corporate social media identity, and their suggested solutions. Social Media Risks for Companies 1) Viruses and malware — Data leakage/theft. Prevention: Make sure antivirus and anti-malware controls are installed and updated daily. Create updating policies, standards, and training. 2) Brand hijacking — Customer gets exposed to hijacked and fraudulent presence. Prevention: Find a firm that can protect your brand. Update customers on potential fraud. 3) Lack of control over corporate content — When employees post wrong or improper information on social media sites. Prevention: Establish clear policies that dictate what can and cannot be shared. Create the capability to capture and log all communications. 4) Unrealistic expectations of customer service at Internet-speed. Prevention: Make sure staff can handle traffic associated with social media presence. Create notice with clear timeline for responses. 5) Mismanagement of electronic communications that may be impacted by retention regulations or e-discovery.Prevention: Establish policies and processes that ensure all communications are tracked. My favorite part of this report lists the risks of employees' personal use of social media.Social Media Risks for Employees 1) Using personal accounts to communicate work related information.Prevention: Have HR establish policies and awareness training so employees do not share company info. 2) Posting pictures or information that might damage a company's brand.Prevention: Again, work with HR to develop policies that explain what can and cannot be shared. 3) Excessive employee use of social media in the workplace.Prevention: Create content filtering or limit access to sites. 4) Employee access to social media via mobile, which may result in data theft or leakage.Prevention: More policies, more training, more controls. I'm not sure employees will appreciate these guidelines, but employers might enjoy a little guidance in the face of social media madness in the office. Find the full white-paper with more on risks as well as benefits here. Here's the original story. Share http://adweek.it/2jGfryy copy Adweek Adweek

Domini Kemp at the Dublin Wellness Centre
"To say I zoned out was an understatement…the feeling lasted all evening and that night, I had one of the best night's sleep I can remember".
Share this
Renowned Irish chef and business woman Domini Kemp came into the Dublin Wellness Centre to try some treatments.
We invited chef and entrepreneur Domini Kemp of Alchemy Juice Co, Hatch & Sons, Joe's Coffee, Itsa Cafes and Feast Catering to try some treatments in the centre.
Domini has a keen interest in eating well, staying healthy and taking care of herself, particularly since she has had cancer twice and knows the importance of staying fit and focused while undergoing conventional treatment.
Her first choice was reflexology with the wonderful Elaine McLaughlin.
"Reflexology treatments and massages are top of my list when it comes to self-care. Elaine in the Dublin Holistic Centre is one of the best. She has an extremely thorough approach: while soaking your feet in a peppermint oil and Epsom salt bath, you go through a general health questionnaire before settling under some blankets. She kindly covers your eyes with a lavender eye patch which makes it so much easier to get lost in the treatment.
"For the next 60 minutes, you float away as she works her magic although every now and then, you feel a little jolt when she hits an area that's clearly giving you trouble. For me it was my adrenals and shoulders that stood out as being tender spots.
"To say I zoned out was an understatement. My only regret is that I couldn't have gone straight home to bed afterwards! Instead, I had to go back to work, but to be fair, the feeling lasted all evening and that night, I had one of the best night's sleep I can remember. Elaine's work is subtle but so specific and intuitive. I'm already looking forward to my next session with her!"
You can contact Elaine on: email@example.com or 087-2682276
Maya abdominal massage
"If there was one word to describe the work Deirdre McGrath does, I would use 'nurturing'. I am much more of a 'no pain, no gain' type of person when it comes to therapies. Deep tissue massages that border on deep torture is usually my preference, so it was with a bit of trepidation that I went for this extremely gentle treatment. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is the subtlety of this treatment that is really the key to its effectiveness.
"Deirdre starts off with a gentle back massage before moving to feet, face and then the stomach. You get a sense that as a therapist, she 'joins the dots' for you in terms of balance and gentle healing. I would heartily recommend this for people who are feeling out of sorts and out of kilter, but who want something gentle and holistic – as opposed to feeling a bit pummelled.
"One of the best aspects is the follow-up and recommendations for home-tips that you can do to help balance out energy. I have been religiously doing my breathing and gentle movements which have made a nice difference to sleep quality. This is the type of treatment that is absolutely ideal for anyone going through a tough time of any type of conventional treatment, who would like to treat themselves to a gentle and holistic experience."
You can contact Deirdre on email@example.com or visit her website at
Note: Domini Kemp is a chef, author and entrepreneur. She received her treatments for free but was not otherwise paid for the above

While listening to this archived webinar, I put down snippets of different questions, answers and statements by these authors, teachers, publishers and readers.
What is trending in Y/A today? Mary Lee Donovan "...the diversification of diversity -
- Racial Diversity
- Cultural Diversity
- Family Diversity
- Realism and Romance.
...are some of the trends of Y/A today. There is also an un-trending in Y/A, for-instance the genre of Historical Fiction, comes and goes. Distopian Fiction is here to stay.
Wendy Loggia (@Penguin/RandomHouse) expands but mostly agrees with these trends.
Martha Hickson - A School Librarian right now; What Y/A Readers want.
- John Green walks on water. The kids she deals with are frantic to have more copies of John Green. She jokingly stated that you could put John Green's name on a phone book and they would read it.
- There is an opportunity for mystery and thriller writers to appeal to the Y/A writers to do some continuing series of mysteries and thrillers akin John Green's characters in an Evanovich style.
- Titles from their "youth" Harry Potter, Rick Riordan, and also starting to engage with adult titles; Dan Brown, Grisham, King...and Game of Thrones.
Andrea Portes: Author, (Anatomy of a Misfit) moving from Adult to Y/A. She felt as if it may be too dark for Y/A based on personal experience as teen, but @HarperCollins embraced the book, and agreed Y/A was the place for it. She is working on her next Y/A novel (Rich Kids).
Wendy remembers a day when her co-worker who was in the break room, was talking about a new acquisition and how excited she was about this new work, and how she wanted to develop it...it was "The Maze Runner"
If you are librarian, and have anything to do with ordering Y/A, Juvenile, or Childrens this is an helpful webinar. Writers can also get good ideas for what Young Adult readers want.
The Between Season, Rogers Lon Rogers
That same year the students of New Canaan High School waged another kind of war. I, Tucker Landis, became its champion and its casualty. Back then my high school and my hometown held my entire universe. All my gods lived there. So did my demons....Most of us had grown up in New Canaan or on neighboring farms and ranches. We had known each other all our lives, yet at school we segregated ourselves into exclusive cliques of our own making. Everyone held a defined rank and a prescribed place in the hierarchy...Amazon.com Blurb
You will find the 2014 Fall book recommendations at 48 minutes of the webinar. Our library has most of them, and they circulate wildly.

And what is Rule 62? "Don't Take Yourself Too Damn Seriously," which is based on Alcoholics Anonymous view.
The album is due out on Oct. 6 on Six Shooter Records through Thirty Tigers.
This will be Rose's second release this year as she released the "South Texas Suite EP in January, an ode to Texas country music. Days before the EP hit the streets and Rose kicked off a four-month worldwide tour, Rose hit Nashville, where she entered BlackBird Studio A to reconvene with The Mavericks' Raul Malo to produce the new release In one week, Rose, Malo and co-producer Niko Bolas readied the 11-song disc, including 9 self-penned.
"Can't Stop Shakin'" was recorded on Jan. 20. With Malo on harmonies and rhythm guitars, Kenny Vaughn on lead guitar, and saxophones and organ in the mix, "Can't Stop Shakin'" was originally written as an anti-anxiety treatment in Memphis soul dance party form. The meaning has changed.
"'Can't Stop Shakin' started out as something I would sing to calm myself down." Rose said. "We recorded that song on Inauguration day and you could physically feel the divide between the public and the unrest in the air. I was in the studio that week every day for 12 hours on average, so realized my contribution was going to have to take place within the walls of Blackbird. So the song that started as a personal anthem got a rewrite that day."
As for including Bolas on production, "Niko brought a lot to the table in the studio (when he wasn't sitting at his table at Waffle House). It allowed Raul to step down from the producer role from time to time and be a part of the band. That man can play and sing. One of my favorite parts of the album is the guitar solo on 'You Never Cross My Mind' - that's all Raul," Rose said.
Other musicians in the studio included Paul Deakin (The Mavericks) on drums, Jay Weaver (Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, The Mavericks) on bass; Jen Gunderman (Sheryl Crow) on piano; Chris Scruggs (Marty Stuart) on steel; Aaron Till (Asleep at the Wheel) on the fiddle; and Vaughn (Marty Stuart, Lucinda Williams) on lead guitar.
The track listing is:
1. I Don't Want Half (I Just Want Out) (3:06)
2. Arizona (3:58)
3. Better to My Baby (3:13)
4. You Never Cross My Mind (4:02)
5. You Don't Scare Me (4:14)
6. Can't Stop Shakin' (4:22)
7. Tied to the Wheel (4:41)
8. Trucker's Funeral (5:04)
9. Wake Me in Wyoming (3:29)
10. You're a Mess (3:48)
11. Time to Cry (3:56)

Contractor chosen to rebuild three I-70 bridges
COLUMBIA - Emery Sapp and Sons has been chosen to design and rebuild three Interstate 70 bridges in Columbia.
The bridges are located at the exits at West Boulevard, Garth Avenue, and Missouri Route 763/Range Line Street.
The project is projected to cost $18 million, and construction is expected to start in late summer.
Sapp says the new bridges should be in place by fall of 2016.
Although the Missouri Department of Transportation says the bridges are said to currently safe to travel, they are rated in poor condition. The bridges were built in 1957 with the highway.
"These bridges were built in 1957 with the original interstate. They're of such a design that they really are difficult to rehabilitate. They're really not worth the finances to rehabilitate. These types of bridges just [prove they'll] have to be replaced," said Travis Koestner, the Assistant District Engineer for the MoDOT Central District.
The plan for the rebuilding proposes that I-70 will "remain open to two lanes of traffic in each direction at all times during construction except for a few temporary evening lane closures."
MoDOT used a design-build process to select the contractor for this job. Instead of considering competing bids and choosing the lowest-cost option, MoDOT sets the budgets and teams compete to see who can deliver the most value for the money.
According to MoDOT, Sapp's proposal "offered the most aggressive schedule to minimize traffic impacts."
The contractor's proposal also calls for the new bridges to be built next to the existing structures, and then slid into place. This plan is expected to "minimize closures on I-70 and affected city streets."
MoDOT kept future expansion in mind during the planning process.
"Our goals for the project was to build long-life, durable bridges that would be compatible with future expansion. That doesn't mean we're gonna build wider bridges right now. There's really no use in building a wider bridge now if we're not gonna use it, because it's just more that we have to maintain," Koestner said, "We want to go ahead and highlight to folks that that this is really still, really maintenance mode for MoDOT. These bridges are in need of replacement, and so this is basically a bridge replacement job, albeit a bridge replacement job for a roadway that carries 80,000 vehicles per day."
Emery Sapp and Sons is a local Columbia contractor.

Choosing what to wear for a first date can be a nerve-wracking experience. If it is a blind date it can be even more so as you don't know that much about the other person or even where you are going on the date. The key to making sure you have the right outfit is to ask your date if there is an activity planned, or what restaurant you are meeting at so that you can coordinate your outfit accordingly. Nobody wants to show up at a bowling alley in high heels and a cocktail dress or shorts and a T-shirt to a nice bar.
The Venue
Always ask about where you are going. You need to know if you should be in athleisure wear, a cute summer dress, or even something more formal. Nothing is more embarrassing than showing up to a place over or underdressed. If your dates say it is going to be a surprise then simply ask them what you should wear because you want to be comfortable as it is already an uncomfortable situation like a first date.
Curating The Outfit
You want to give off a certain air of confidence and one of the ways to do this is through your dress. First appearances can really affect how someone sees you, and you only get to make this once so dress to impress! If you are going to a relaxed bar then consider wearing cute jeans and a nice top with some assorted jewelry, if you are going out for a meal at a nice restaurant then you may want to gear it up a bit and wear a dress and some more make-up than you normally would. But the key is to really be yourself and wear what makes you feel comfortable. As soon as you start hiding who you are and what you like then the person you are on a date with will not know the real you. It can be hard to pretend to love Nascar and then have to attend all sorts of events and viewing parties when it actually bores you to death.
Ask Your Date
If you are still a bit unsure about what to wear for your date ask them what they are planning to wear. This is easier if it is a blinde date because then you can say you just want to know what to look for when you arrive at the date spot. If you are still full of doubt just ask your friends, collectively they should be able to figure out what to wear!

Remove Rack-search.com virus (Tutorial) - Free Instructions
Rack-search.com brings you dubious search results full of ads
Rack-search.com is a highly suspicious search engine that is advertised via browser hijackers[1] and other extension-injecting programs. These potentially unwanted programs (PUP) replace default start page and search provider value with hxxp://Rack-search.com/, causing the affected web browser load it automatically.
It seems that Rack-search.com virus currently targets Mac OS only. However, Windows users shouldn't relax – there are plenty of similar programs that are meant to compromise this operating system[2].
According to NoVirus.uk report[3], Rack-search delivers Yahoo search results modified by Aztec Media. This company has earned a "developer of potentially unwanted programs" name already. If you notice that the tab name says "Aztec Media Yahoo search results," you shouldn't try to interact with such search results at all.
It is highly likely that clicking them can trigger redirects to untrustworthy Internet domains such as gambling or adult-only sites.
On top of that, browsing through links delivered by a suspicious third-party company can point to scam surveys, phishing websites, and sites promoting spyware/malware. We do not say that Rack-search is itself malicious, but since it generates revenue from driving traffic to certain Internet sites, it is better to be careful.
We strongly suggest you to remove Rack-search.com today and alter your browser's settings according to your needs.
There are two typical ways to remove browser hijackers. You can try anti-spyware tools suggested by our team (Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego or Malwarebytes) for automatic Rack-search.com removal, or take matters into your hands and delete the hijacker manually. If you choose the latter option, consider using instructions we added at the end of this post.
Rack-search.com is closely associated with Aztec Media, a developer of various browser-hijacking viruses. The Rack Search starts bothering the computer user as soon as one installs Rack-search.com virus on the system.
Dubious browser hijackers infect computers through software packages
The Internet is full of fascinating content, and nowadays, the majority of software is free. However, it doesn't mean that they do not monetize their services in some kind of way. In most cases, they promote different free programs and earn money using pay-per-install scheme.
If you do not want to be tricked into installing something you do not want, you should choose proper software installation settings. Many PC users make the fatal mistake by trusting "recommended" installation configuration (usually Default/Standard/Basic ones). Instead of leaving pre-selected settings on, switch the selection to Custom/Advanced one.
Once you've chosen the right software installation settings, make sure you deselect every extra program suggested to you. If the installer asks you to add browser tools, search apps, new tab pages and other dubious software, disagree. Then you can proceed with the installation.
Stop browser redirects by deleting Rack-search.com virus
If your Mac was compromised by Rack-search.com virus, you could remove it using instructions we provided below. You should check Mac's Applications folder and see if the hijacker added any suspicious programs there. Move them to Trash and Empty it afterward.

Artist Edition: Ice Cream Sunday
To help us launch our Lighthouse model kit, we turned to someone we knew would create a playful and fun one-of-a-kind work of art: In Prime We Trust. The result — Ice Cream Sunday — is even more creative and colorful than we could've imagined, all while staying true to Prime's exacting and photorealistic style. With vibrant, summer-like colors, a giant, grinning lobster and blue skies above, this beautiful piece would brighten any office or home — whether it's inland or by the shore.
Model Kit Style: Lighthouse
Medium Used: Acrylic Paint
Hometown: Trumbull, Connecticut
My artistic ability started at the age of 6 when I was placed into a special art program. I loved creating art on a daily basis but life got in the way and I took a 9-year hiatus. In 2012 "In Prime We Trust" was born. It's been full steam ahead since then. My influences come from childhood cartoons, graffiti, urban culture, and humor to name a few. I currently live in Connecticut, but grew up in Los Angeles for a big chunk of my 20s. Its all comes down to evoking emotions in people through my art.
Please Note: All Artist Edition sales are final.

- Your Water
- Drought
Water supply conditions have improved significantly this year. Thank you to customers for conserving 24% since State Emergency Regulations took effect in 2015.
Padre Dam is currently not experiencing drought conditions and conservation is voluntary. However, we encourage all customers to use water efficiently at all times.
The San Diego County Water Authority Board declared the drought over in San Diego County in January 2017. The resolution they passed calls on Governor Jerry Brown and the State Water Resources Control Board to rescind the statewide emergency water-use regulations for areas of California that are no longer in drought conditions.
Given the current hydrologic conditions throughout California and San Diego County's water supply meeting regional demands, Padre Dam submitted a comment letter (PDF) to the State Water Resources Control Board strongly recommending they allow drought-related emergency regulations to expire. Despite receiving significant comments from agencies throughout California, the State Water Board voted 5 to 0 to extend the Emergency Regulations to May 2017, citing the need to see how the rest of the rainy/wet season ends up.
Conservation rebates and incentives are available from Water Smart.
The State Water Board is working on developing long-term conservation regulations. Padre Dam staff reviewed draft framework and provided comments to the State on the proposed regulations. The final draft of the regulations are currently with the Governor's office and are expected to be released for public comment in February 2017. We urge customers to learn more about the State's proposal (PDF) and encourage customers to consider sending comment letters to the State as proposed regulations could impose mandates on water agencies, which can increase costs that ultimately are passed on to ratepayers.
The following water use efficiency measures remain in effect at all times:
- Limit watering with spray head sprinkler or hose to 10 minutes per area per day.
- Water only before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
- Irrigation runoff is prohibited.
- No watering during or 48 hours after rain.
- No watering down paved surfaces.
- Use a hose with a positive shutoff nozzle when watering or washing vehicles.
- Use recirculated water in fountains and ponds.
- Repair all leaks within 5 days.
Recent Drought History
On May 9, 2016 Governor Brown issued a new Executive Order (PDF) aimed at using water wisely, reducing water waste, and improving water use efficiency. The Executive Order, in part, directs the State Water Board to extend the emergency regulations for urban water conservation through the end of January 2017. The Executive Order called for the development of long-term conservation standards throughout the State.
May 2016
On May 18, 2016 the State Water Board approved significant changes to the Emergency Regulations replacing State developed conservation targets with a local self-certification process for water suppliers. Each agency is required to self-certify the level of available water supplies they have assuming three additional dry years, and the level of conservation necessary to assure adequate supply over that time.
June 2016
The San Diego region worked together through the San Diego County Water Authority to certify sufficient water supplies for the region. This process proved the San Diego region has enough water for a three year dry period and therefore the region's conservation target was self-certified at zero percent. Self-certification for Padre Dam was submitted to the State on June 21, 2016. However, new conservation targets are back dated to June 1, 2016.
Padre Dam moved out of a Level 2: Drought Alert and back to Level 1: Drought Watch in June 2016. Customers have continued to use water efficiently and continued to save more than 20% compared to 2013.
November 2016
On November 30, 2016, state agencies released a draft report (PDF) addressing elements of Governor Brown's Executive Order B-37-16 (PDF). The order requires five state agencies to develop a framework for water use in California. The public agencies consist of California Department of Water Resources, State Water Resources Control Board, California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, and California Department of Food and Agriculture. The draft plan proposes long-term regulations to reduce water use in California that include adopting permanent water use restrictions, setting water budgets for agencies regardless of local water supply, and reducing the use of recycled water. The plan is currently with the Governor's office and is expected to be out for public comment in February 2017.
Frequently asked questions about drought restrictions
What can Padre Dam customers do?
- Be sure to comply with the mandatory water use restrictions and let us know if you see water. Report Water Waste.
- Check for leaks on your property to minimize water waste.
- Take advantage of our free water use evaluation service to help you save both water and money.

Anyone who has driven in Chalfont has likely seen some large semitrailer trucks on the road. While trucking is an important business in Pennsylvania, the truck industry has historically been very concerned with profits, sometimes at the cost of motorist safety. Sadly, there are a number of truck accidents that happen in the Philadelphia metro area each year, many of which are fatal. Sometimes, the accident could easily have been prevented if the trucker had just one night more of sleep.
Under the old trucking rules put in place by the federal government, a driver needed only take 34 hours between duty "cycles." Although 34 hours off sounds nice to many people, that could have been after working for several days in a row. Without sufficient sleep, drivers were sleep deprived, fatigued and had trouble paying attention.
Fortunately, however, there have been some new changes put in place that will likely make trucks much safer on Chalfont's roads. The biggest change is that now truckers may only work 60 or 70 hours within a duty cycle (typically seven- or eight-day periods). Moreover, truckers must have at laest two night periods during their 34 hours off. If the driver gets in at an odd hour and wouldn't be able to get two night periods in during the 34 hours, he or she must prolong the time off to get both night periods.
According to a new study, that extra night period off has really helped. Truckers are much safer on the road than those who only had one night off.
