Auto Repair Garage
The Moore Building is a historic structure originally constructed in 1937. It was built by Fayetteville's first auto dealership, M&O Chevrolet, and used as an auto garage and service shop for many years
It was once one of the cornerstone commercial enterprises in downtown Fayetteville.
In 2009, Steven and Jean Moore purchased the building. They began a grand scale renovation project to breathe new life into the old building. Their goals were to make the building beautiful, functional, and environmentally friendly.

The main Renovation Project
It was a big project, but they quickly fell in love with the building. And the old garage repair shop was happy for all the attention.
The former garage was finally converted into an office space for a marketing company called Moore Exposure. Hence the name, the "Moore Building".
Post renovation
Moore Exposure was later sold to a large marketing firm based out of Charlotte. The primary bay of the building was vacated and no longer needed for office space. Below are photos from in an around the building before the next phase of renovation to turn it into an event space....

In 2014, Disney made a huge bargain with Maleficent, a live-action version of Sleeping Beauty with Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie. The film became a huge hit in the box office and further served as the go signal for the studio to continue their string of live-action remakes. The films that followed, including Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book, would go on to draw in equally large audience. Disney will soon be moving on with The Lion King remake in 2019. Here are the confirmed cast so far.
The Lion King Remake: Official Cast Members Announced
The original Lion King was released in 1994. It made history by becoming one of the biggest animated films of all time and grossed a record-breaking $968.8 million (without inflation rates applied) at the box office. For the remake, Disney tapped Jon Favreau to direct the film. The highly anticipated movie is set to use the same technology used in Favreau's previous Disney project, The Jungle Book.
As of this writing, Favreau has only confirmed two lead stars on his official Twitter account namely Donald Glover and James Earl Jones; the rest on the list are reports from The Hollywood Reporter.
Donald Glover as Simba
Atlanta star Donald Glover was confirmed on Twitter by director Jon Favreau to play Simba, the young lion prince who makes it his mission to take back the Pride Lands. Aside from acting, Glover is a singer and rapper under the stage name Childish Gambino. This is not the first Disney project under his belt. He recently starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming and is set to play a young Lando Calrissian for the upcoming Han Solo film.
James Earl Jones as Mufasa
James Earl Jones is the only actor from the original film confirmed to reprise his role. Jones will be once again voicing Mufasa, Simba's father and the King of the Pride Lands.
Beyoncé as Nala
Pop star and actress Beyoncé is actually Favreau's top choice to play Nala, although there hasn't been any confirmation from both parties yet. According to insiders, the singer has not made up her mind since she recently gave birth to twins. But considering that the role requires only voice acting, looks like Beyoncé might be on board!
Alfre Woodard as Sarabi
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Luke Cage and 12 Years a Slave actress Alfre Woodard will be voicing Sarabi, Simba's mother.
John Kani as Rafiki
Captain America actor John Kani is currently in talks to play Rafiki, the wise mandrill who gives Simba and Mufasa spiritual advice.
Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar
Chiwetel Ejiofor, who received an Oscar nomination for his lead role in 12 Years a Slave, is in talks of replacing Jeremy Irons for the character of Scar. Scar is the traitorous villain in The Lion King. Should the actor take the role, the project will serve as Ejiofor's second project with Disney. He previously starred as the villain Karl Mordo in Doctor Strange.
John Oliver as Zazu
Last Week Tonight host John Oliver has joined the cast of The Lion King remake as Zazu.
Billy Eichner as Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumba
Billy Eichner recently won a Daytime Emmy award for his show Billy on the Street. He currently stars in the Hulu series Difficult People and guest-starred on Parks and Recreation and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Eichner has already signed on to play the meerkat Timon.
The Lion King remake will not be comedian Seth Rogen's first animated film. He has voiced animated characters in several films before, including Monsters vs. Aliens, Kung Fu Panda, and the R-18 movie Sausage Party. Rogen will be bringing his iconic husky voice to play Pumba, Timon's faithful friend.
While the upcoming film continues to ignite a wave of anticipation, Disney announced that they will be bringing The Lion King back to Blu-ray with special features as part of its Signature Collection. The release date for the remastered film will be on August 29. As for Favreau's remake, it is slated for a July 2019 release.

This loaf, or something very similar, is part of my daily bread baking creations. Not only is it easy, but it develops great flavour (look at those roasted sesame seeds), and baking the bread in a french oven gives it a nice round and crisp exterior. Looks almost artisan no? Yesterday I was running errands, so after pulling the bread from the oven, I quickly snapped a picture and just left it on the stove to cool down. Makes sense right.
And I came home to this. Which I first noticed when I walked into the homestead and thought – It smells like toast, only burnt. Apparently, a fellow homesteader left the burner on low while making breakfast (look in the first picture, you can't even see the gas it's so low) and in my rush to exit the house I didn't notice. So instead of cooling, the loaf received a solid burn. Oh well, at least the house didn't burn down…Remember kids. For the sake of my bread, always turn the range off!

In most suitable ways there are three types of heating oil available according to the quality and price. These rests two are down from costliest and cheaper too. Basically domestic heating oil prices depend on fluctuation in the prices of crude oil but it is known for their high price tag. It is true in current oil prices scenario as well.
The reduction in the number of home heating oil New York suppliers it is most significant thing to maintain the product quality so every consumer should ensure that they have a reliable supplier.

P.M. HARPER now P.M. TRUDEAU
AS OF OCT.19-2015 (Federal Election)
A New Matey on the Ship
Pierre Elliot Trudeau (1919-2000) '...Every government must accept responsibility for the rights of the citizens within its own jurisdiction. Canada as a whole suffers when any of her citizens is denied his rights, for that injustice places the rights of all of us in jeopardy.'
(' Something has to be terribly, terribly wrong with the courts to use the "notwithstanding clause" S.H.')
OPEN LETTER TO THE OTTAWA CITIZEN JULY 15/09 (pg 1 of 2)
BY: Roger Callow aka 'Revolting Roger' www.employeescasecanada.com
QUOTE: 'When the law itself starts to fuck you over, who you gonna call? Amnesty International? The U.N.?Black Water Transit Carsten Stroud
QUOTE: 'Something has to be terribly, terribly wrong with the courts to use the 'notwithstanding clause' - Opp. Leader Stephen Harper now P.M. Amen, Stephen, amen...so what are you doing about the Employee's Case (Canada) now that B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell has dumped this mess in your lap? How you handle this affair for one Canadian, I submit, is how all Canadians can be expected to be treated on all issues. Feb/06
MESSAGE: ...And something now indeed is terribly, terribly wrong with the courts and you have no option other than to invoke the 'notwithstanding clause' against the Province of British Columbia. Here's why.
Many newsletters over the past 24 years of an unresolved and now unresolvable legal case targeting former West Vancouver teacher, Roger Callow, leaving him in the unenviable position of trying to prove a negative (an impossibility); namely, that he had not been laid off from his teaching job in 1985, is an issue which has led to the demise of democratic government in Canada. Count the cost.
In 1985, the B.C. government rushed the ill-designed BILL 35 into law, apparently for the sole purpose of ridding themselves of a 'troublesome pedant' (whistle blowing). Local MPP John Reynolds, currently a head honcho in your government was at the center of these events. The B.C. government appointed arbitrator, Louis Lindholm - later ruled 'patently unreasonable when the court quashed the original arbitration in favour of the School District - had converted the 17 new hires into 17 lay-offs. (shades of IRAN)
Over the next 24 years with over 30 judges including two inconsequential trips to the Supreme Court of Canada ('universality of Unions' & 'inherent jurisdiction'), the matter remained in limbo in defiance, I submit of many major laws. Apparently, timeliness, no merit, no chance of success, are terms commonly used by judges to obviate the judicial process. In bottom line language in this kafkaesque story, 'no legal answer became a legal answer' which flies in the face of any definition of a legal system. In effect, the B.C. government was hi-jacked and the judiciary were co-opted in this B.C. government conspiracy for a single case which now, due to precedent law, negatively impacts every Canadian. I call it law by osmosis.
In 2006 at age 65, in absence of a termination date from the court, I retired and applied to have my B.C. Pension transferred to Ontario as per regulations. There was no reply from the public B.C. Teachers Pension Fund to either myself or the private Ontario Teachers Fund. Without knowing, guesswork suggested more litigation was necessary to finalize the account. Earlier the judge in 1986 had ordered the matter back for more arbitration; an arbitration never held by the Union and the Employer leading to this impasse. In the latter 1990's, the B.C. Government rescinded BILL 35 before this single case laid under it was resolved. The Union and Employer abandoned the matter with the sanction of the B.C. Labour Board; a decision supported on three levels of court appeal. Under these circumstances, I returned to court in two separate and inconclusive hearings in 2008 and 2009 to receive a finalization of this matter so that I could collect my B.C. Pension. For a second time, I applied to the B.C. Teachers Pension Board and was told -this time- that I was entitled to a Pension. Once again, I applied through the Ontario Pension counterpart. Once again, we were sidetracked.
While not knowing for a certainty, the B.C. delay was occasioned by the fact that no pension may be paid until legalities cease; a logical requirement as pension amounts must be calculated based on the termination date. To act singly would place the B.C. people in a position of declaring an administrative decision supplanting the court procedures of the country. As this action would be in such marked re-direction for Canadian society, I asked both B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell and yourself as Prime Minister to approve such an undertaking by July 15/09. I never heard back.
(page 2) www.employeescasecanada.com
At this time, you have little choice other than to invoke the notwithstanding clause against B.C. as this conspiracy has exposed government and the justice system to a level of chicanery never before witnessed but one, due to precedent law, which will be seen again and again. Other organizations have also been shattered. Sanctioning the sweetheart deal has led to the future demise of the Canadian Union movement. The anti-
employee Canadian media are culpable to an extent that their credibility will also sink with the above institutions in an event I label institutional autism. Currently, I call on the powers of the private Ontario Teachers Pension Fund to support this call of mine on an issue of major concern to all Canadians.
Perhaps this line from the late novelist, Morris West best describes what's at stake here:
'The law's a farce, sonnyboy. You can plant evidence and suborn witnesses and make sweetheart deals with the prosecution. The only laws we're really interested in making stick are the laws of contract - because if commerce doesn't work we're eating tree bark instead of bread.' Cassidy
I also call for support from international sources. Canada is forever telling Third World countries how they should act according to democratic principals. Perhaps those self-same countries could offer Canada a hand in resolving her internal problems. Certainly U.S. President Obama should take a stake in this one to warn American investors of the dangers inherent of dealing in Canada as he can ill-afford another 'sub-prime mortgage' disaster. The first step in that regard is for the international press to publish this major Canadian story boycotted by the Canadian media.
I realize your own experience as Prime Minister makes you ill-suited to handling such a national crisis. Indeed, your response to a constitutional crisis negatively impacting your party was to remake the position of Governor General - a titular role for the most part - into one of partisan politics in order to benefit your political fortunes. There was little public outcry. Considering recent developments with regards to company bankruptcy and pension schemes, I do not foresee you escaping your obligations any longer as you have so consistently done with the Employee's Case to date. Canadians have a right to know whether or not their pension contributions may be stolen from them as I submit is the case here with the public B.C. Teachers Pension Fund. It should also be noted that to date, the Canadian Parliament would retain their silence on this ground-breaking issue which no doubt has served as balm to you. Disappointing to be sure but no longer of any consideration as Parliament is a neutered force. Invoking the notwithstanding clause is the only way your government may forestall this looming anarchy which can only prove to the detriment of our country should you permit this issue to continue to fester.
Martin Luther would have, given the above situation, in all likelihood ended on this note: 'Here I stand; I can no other'. ...and who, it needs be asked, is left to stand for a democratic Canada? 'Ducking out' is no longer an option. The words of the late Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, come to mind here: 'It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong'.
In the interim, I maintain my call for a boycott of all travel to British Columbia until the above matter is resolved in terms of the contract.
ANTI-JUDGE DAY (July 1st) which coincides with Canada's Birthday, is a universal in any event.
Please respond by Aug. 15/09.

QUOTE: 'Never mind hearts and minds: if you want a man's undivided attention, grab him by the reproductive organs.' The Fifth Cataract Jo Bannister 2) 'Some haystacks have no needles'
The canary in the Tory coal mine has just expired.
You are no doubt too aware of the employeescasecanada.com , the 24 year unresolved and now unresolvable legal case in which former West Vancouver, B.C. teacher Roger Callow was targeted in a government conspiracy which has led to the demise of the Canadian Judiciary and hence all that associated with a democratic society. That this should happen on your watch has left you in the unenviable position of having to make a decision which will forever redefine the future of Canada...if she has one.
Of course you have had your own private pipe-line to this great Canadian debacle in terms of former West Vancouver MPP, John Reynolds - the go-between in 1985 with the infamous BILL 35 of the B.C. Government used only against this personage and later withdrawn before the above case was resolved. Reynolds now epitomizes your government in that he is a head honcho in your party, more recently described as 'an advisor to the Vancouver court scene' where many of these shenanigans have been committed although I do not rule out the failure of the Supreme Court of Canada on two occasions. Over 30 judges in fact have chosen to leave this case unresolved in order to protect the perpetrators so that the story now becomes one of 'cover-up'. Former U.S. President Nixon would understand that message only too well.
But what is the significance of permitting a legal case to 'sail forever on a sea of red tape never to be put into the port of judgment?' There are many as they relate directly to the conduct of the law as outlined in previous newsletters. All of those messages are negative.
The ramifications are slightly broader and bring into perspective as to why the Tory canary has expired.
All pension schemes require that a finalization of legalities be made before any pension is paid out. That is a logical position. But what is the public B.C. Teachers Pension Fund to do when they have no such finalization in the above case? In 2006, on my stated retirement at age 65, they ignored my pension requests, no doubt a harbinger of the future for those requesting government pensions. Subsequent court action in two separate trials in 2008 and 2009 brought this matter no closer to a finalization. Now a second application has been made; once again through the offices of the private Ontario Teachers Pension Fund where the fund is to be transferred and who quite rightfully realize that this case is setting a precedent for all future pension schemes, both public and private.
Should the B.C. Fund place a price on the value of that fund they will, one and at the same time, be making an administrative decision which will supplant court procedures. In short, there would no longer be any necessity for a Justice System, as a precedent would be set in which the strongest partner in a contract may exert 'carte blanche' powers. No doubt the B.C. Fund were only too aware of their problem which explains why they refused to acknowledge the transfer request in 2006. However, retaining control over that fund - a fund I contributed to for many years - labels this as a matter of outright theft by the B.C. government, the source of this government conspiracy in which no proof exists claiming that I was indeed laid off by the Board of School Trustees in June of 1985. Again, more cover-up.
You have no choice now but to act, particularly in light of the failure of B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell to take his responsibilities in this colossal debacle for a province which is clearly out of control.
Will the Prime Minister condone the public B.C. Pension Fund action in creating an administrative decision which will forever change the nature of Canadian judicial and political life? The B.C. Fund has attached a price tag in defiance of court procedures (or what there is of them) on compensation.
What I require from the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of B.C. (copy included for the purpose) is an acknowledgment of this B.C. Fund transfer which has a draconian influence on Canada's future.
I will await 30 days for a response (July15 /09)...otherwise your silence will be frozen forever in the tatters that was once Canada.
No copy of this letter is being sent to Parliamentary Opposition leaders; Ignatieff/Layton/Duceppe
TO: Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper - Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Roger Callow aka 'Revolting Roger' www.employeescasecanada.com
MESSAGE: It doesn't take a political scientist to note that your government is past its 'best before date'. Should Obama become the next U.S. President, I see your style of leadership to be in difficulty. A rather lackluster performance by a Party which seems hard pressed to find Cabinet talent is no recipe for a majority government. ...and to heap insult onto injury, there is the Employee's Case.
It is not that the Prime Minister's Office and by extension, all of Parliament, are not aware of the single most devastating legal case in Canada's jurisprudence by which former West Vancouver teacher, Roger Callow, was deprived of his career and pension in a 23 year unresolved legal battle. I wrote you on May 11, 2008 asking what the Prime Minister of Canada was prepared to do in the event my interests continued to be frozen out of the Justice System; this time as it relates to Pension Rights (SO75775 Van. Registry 'Chambers' June 6/08)?
Failure to respond to this account will not only have you labeled as Canada's first official anti-employee Prime Minister but one viewed with askance by pensioners as well.
Nor is it as though Parliament has been caught with its drawers down on this one as they had an opportunity to use the 'notwithstanding clause' in 2004 (under your aegis) to revoke the Supreme Court of Canada notion that 'no legal answer is a legal answer' in this unresolved case. Hence Parliament's failure to act is why a lower court judge is able to let the justice system trump Parliament in this mutually exclusive case. Parliament is now redundant. There is no purpose to passing laws which the judges may ignore with impunity. Hence there is no purpose to Canadians at large voting. You must take the lion's share of the blame for that debacle. Indeed, you are harboring a figure in your Party (John Reynolds) who was at the very inception of this conspiracy in 1985 in West Vancouver. However, it would appear that you prefer to wait for the newspaper version of anything before you act in this 'newspaper democracy' of ours.
It need not have been the case in the June 6/08 Hearing. All the judge had to do to put a conclusion to this long-drawn out matter was to point out that as the West Vancouver School District failed to return to arbitration - as so ordered by the courts - in 1986 after the court quashed the original arbitration, then the operant termination date would be Mr. Callow's retirement letter in 2006 with all terms of the contract applying. Hence the public B.C. Pension Board would have had a termination date acceptable to them and that would be the end of the matter. The price paid?...defeating the Union busting decision by the B.C. Labor Board which was a bad one in any event plus the rejection of the Appeal Courts (2) in B.C. and the Supreme Court of Canada. Fewer and fewer people are surprised on that latter account in any event.
By hanging tough, besides the defeat of Parliament and the laws of contract, the court has guaranteed prolongation of this case for, as the targeted person, my statute rights of compensation and pension are intact but only at the whim of the Union who would reject any settlement without giving a reason - beyond the legal one - as to their stand. Certainly Justice Shabbitts wasn't asking for those reasons. It is merely - and a big merely at that - that I may not personally use the Justice System of Canada to enforce those rights. Of course that's preposterous but its now a precedent which will eat itself through 'contract law' for decades to come. Canada is no more.
For the conspirators? They have destroyed not only the concept of seniority among B.C. Teachers but the sanctity of a contract as well. Their current goal to undermine pension rights is now a reality. The idea that the public B.C. Pension Board may ignore a client due to the fact that anyone is estopped from suing them has been established with only this personage speaking out on this outrage. Presumably I am the first but hardly the last for a government running 'on air' as far as paying teachers pensions is concerned.
Hence, what will the Prime Minister of this country do?...continue to fiddle? (ducking this letter certainly comes under that heading.)

MESSAGE: You may recall letters to your office from this writer on the above issue when you first acquired power in January/06. At that time, my legal Counsel in this case wrote that I had exhausted all remedy under the law to re-examine a questionable 'lay-off' from the School District of West Vancouver in 1985. Even the judiciary claimed I had a right to a legal decision and yet they would, paradoxically, deny me that right (imploded judiciary). See www.magma.ca/~callow for those details. The reason the matter reverted to the Office of the Prime Minister was due to a preposterous letter written under those circumstances from B.C. Premier, Gordon Campbell, in Jan./06 advising me 'to seek legal advice'. You chose to do nothing.
It would seem under the above circumstances that some contracts have no legal sanction in Canada and that individual employment matters are of little concern to the media and Canada's politicians. In so many words, I have been cheated out of my career as a professional teacher and there is no interest group in Canada prepared to do battle on that score. I don't agree with that conclusion, but so be it.
Now it would appear that the same authorities (Old Boys' Club) would like to follow up this little gem with Act II; namely, cheating this writer out of his pension rights. As I wrote you earlier, pensions - unlike employment matters obviously - are sacrosanct with the Canadian public. And yet Jack Layton and his NDP Party would turn their back on this most important aspect of this case. The Liberal leader, Stèphane Dion, also leads from the 'top down'. I contributed to that pension in all good faith; why should it be denied to me? (Canadians at large have every right to be deeply alarmed at what is happening here.)
As there was no definitive definition to my purported layoff, I submitted my resignation by legal letter at age 65 in 2006. As per regulations, I made application to the Ontario and B.C. pension boards to have my pension rights transferred to Ontario. The Ontario Pension Board acknowledged my request (Nov. 28/06) while the B.C. Pension Board failed to respond to either myself or a repeated request from the Ontario Pension Board (Jan/07). A further prompting was made by me through Action Line (Ottawa Citizen) Feb. 02/07.
It would appear to be the same story all over again. In March of 1985, I submitted material to the B.C. Ministry of Education revealing fraud on the part of an administrator. I never heard back. What I did receive after a hastily convened 'Bill 35', was a lay-off notice from the West Vancouver School Board in June/85 which, I submit, was shown to be fraudulently written in the ensuing arbitration later quashed by the courts with the government-appointed arbitrator being labeled as being 'patently unreasonable' (see original website).
It would seem 'no answer' is becoming the norm for the respective government authorities in Canada and there is no organization to say them 'nay'.
In an apparent boycott of this national issue by the media and the opposition politicians, what action is the Prime Minister of Canada prepared to take? In so many words, do we live in a newspaper democracy where only the likes of Arar may expect recompense for government wrongdoing?
Reply requested.
Yours truly,
Roger Callow

"Google has changed a lot over the past 17 years — from the range of our products to the evolution of their look and feel. And today we're changing things up once again,"
Google, in their latest blog post on Tuesday revealed the company's one of biggest changes.
Google's biggest redesign ever since 1990 was revealed recently when they unveiled their latest logo with a makeover for mobile generation.
Well recognized yet simple Google logo which is adorned with plain blue, red, yellow and green colours was given a makeover and was tweaked to a new Sans-Serif with softer curves and hues. Although the new logo also maintains the older colours, the new Sans-Serif font feels and looks flatter and more modern.
Those who visited the search engine's homepage yesterday were surprised and treated to the upgraded Google with their new logo.
In design world, the simpler the better. Google introduced their new logo in one of their simple and yet captivating animations in which a monochromatic hand rubs off the old logo and re-writes the new one launching the revamp.
Google has embraced this new change as the search engine adapts to be used on a number of different platforms including apps, mobiles and smart TVs as well. The company mentioned in their Tuesday's blog post, "Today we're introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects this reality and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens."Google – Web Designers Dubai
So why have they done it?
Google said the changes introduced reflect the evolution of technology and people's behaviour towards it. Besides the new logo with the same colours but a different font, a multi-coloured G and colourful bars for voice input was also made a part of the new logo.
All these updates reflect the changing way in which people access the internet through their devices other than laptops and PCs such as smartphones, tablets and more. Since people expect Google to be at their service wherever and whenever they need, to make things more user-friendly, they have revamped the brand to make it more compatible with many different platforms, apps and devices.
Google never plans to stop and this is not the first time they have made any changes to the brand and might not as well be the last.Google Rebranded: New Logo Revealed by Fizzah Iqbal

Florida Politics
How the American Dream Miami mega-mall became an issue in the Florida governor's race
Nearly 20 years ago, Bob Graham found himself in an unusual place: At odds with environmental groups and accused of a conflict of interests.
Miami officials were trying to provide relief to a busy Miami International Airport, and they came up with two options: Build an airport in Homestead, where it would be sandwiched between two national parks. Or build one in Opa-locka, next to the headquarters of Graham's family company, the Graham Companies.
Graham, who was then a U.S. senator and who had served as Florida governor from 1979 to 1987, had for years backed the Homestead proposal, infuriating environmentalists. They protested outside his campaign offices and accused him of siding with his financial interests over his environmental ones. He eventually backed away from the idea, and the airport was never built.
Almost two decades later, his daughter is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for governor and faces questions of her own about the family company.
What was once a personal dilemma for Gwen Graham — whether or not to publicly support the family company's involvement in the American Dream Miami mega-mall project — has become a political one, as her opponents publicly blast her for refusing to take a position on it.
Over the weekend, billionaire Palm Beach developer Jeff Greene aired television ads from Graham's interview with CBS4 Miami's Jim DeFede, highlighting her struggles to respond to questions about the mall.
Graham's campaign came back with an ad of its own on Tuesday, attacking Greene for going after her father. (Greene's ad does not mention Graham's father, but does refer to her "family's ties" to the mall.)
Greene denied it and shot back: "Gwen Graham is no Bob Graham."
Two of Graham's other Democratic opponents have also criticized the plan. Winter Park developer Chris King brought it up in an Aug. 2 debate. Former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine's campaign strategist said he has opposed it from the beginning "because it doesn't represent his vision for a 21st century economy for South Florida and the entire state."
Environmental groups are adamantly opposed to the American Dream project because it would place a 175-acre entertainment complex complete with submarine rides and an indoor ski slope near the Everglades.
Although Greene has characterized the project as being "in the Everglades," it would be about five miles away, separated by asphalt companies and rock quarries. But environmentalists fear that it will spur additional development on the western boundary of Miami-Dade County.
Kimberly Mitchell, executive director of the Everglades Trust, has been adamantly against it, along with the Sierra Club and a variety of other groups. Despite those misgivings, however, Mitchell's group endorsed Graham on Monday.
"While we remain concerned that development will push the urban development boundary further west toward the Everglades, we recognize that the mall is within the current urban development boundary, and we now know Gwen Graham has nothing to do with the project," Mitchell said in a statement.
Yet Graham does stand to profit from its development.
While the mall is being built by the company that created Mall of America, the Graham Companies own part of the land where it would be built. In addition, the Graham Companies plans on building a mixed-use project on 300 acres south of the mall. Both the mall and the Grahams' commercial project received zoning approval by Miami-Dade County commissioners in a 9-1 vote in May.
The family company, founded decades ago, is Graham's greatest source of wealth. She owns nearly $14 million in company stock, and she made $830,000 in income last year from the company, according to her most recent financial disclosure.
Graham was an at-large member of the company's board until she resigned in 2015, when she became a member of Congress. Her campaign says that she has had no influence over the development of the project. Her share of the company stock is less than 5 percent, and she owns less than 1 percent of voting stock, her campaign says.
To avoid any conflicts, Graham has said she would place her assets in a transparent trust (her father kept his company assets in a blind trust controlled by his brother).
And if aspects of the project reach the state level, she would have her three counterparts on the Cabinet decide — the attorney general, chief financial official and commissioner of agriculture. The state would get involved in some aspects of the project — developers can't proceed without implementing some $200 million in roadway widening and interchange expansions.
"I am proud of my family's commitment to public service and my priority is making sure there isn't even the appearance of a conflict of interests," Graham said in a statement last week.
Graham's spokesman, Matt Harringer, said in a statement that she "believes local communities should have the first and final voice on the project and to date, they have strongly supported it."
Greene's spokeswoman, Claire VanSusteren, said objections are over the project and Graham's refusal to take a stance on it. She said that if Graham's family needed the project for its very survival, taking a stance on it would truly put Graham in a difficult position.
"It's a tough position to be in if it was something that was threatening their livelihood, and it's not," VanSusteren said. "This is not an instance of a family that's struggling to make ends meet. This is something that they're choosing to do to grow their net worth."

The Turkish Red Crescent on Friday sent two aid trucks to Syria via a newly-opened border crossing, Anadolu Agency reports.
The aid trucks crossed the Olive Branch Customs Gate in Turkey's Hatay province to enter northwestern Syrian city of Afrin, marking the first ever aid supply through the newly-built border gate, according to local sources.
The gate became operational in late 2018 for speeding up the delivery of humanitarian aid to Afrin and meeting the infrastructure needs of the region.
"The gate has a strategic importance in terms of easy transportation of humanitarian aid to the demilitarized regions, especially to Afrin," said Rahmi Dogan, a provincial official.
Dogan also highlighted the importance of the gate for the promotion of trade in the region.
There are 30 customs officers, 23 managers deployed at the gate.
The new customs gate was named after Turkey's Operation Olive Branch, which was launched on Jan. 20 to free Afrin of YPG/PKK and Daesh terrorists. On March 18, Turkish troops and the Free Syrian Army liberated the Afrin district center.
Syria has only just begun to emerge from a devastating conflict that began in 2011 when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on demonstrators with unexpected ferocity.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed or displaced in the conflict, mainly by regime airstrikes targeting opposition-held areas.

An old-fashioned mousetrap baited with peanut butter is an inexpensive strategy to kill mice without resorting to chemical poisoning. Similar home-remedy suggestions include placing instant mashed potato flakes or shallow containers of a carbonated drink like Coke near where mice droppings are found.
Theoretically the mashed potato flakes swell in the mouse's stomach and kill it. Likewise, the carbonated drink forms gas in the mouse's stomach. Since it can't burp to get rid of the gas, the mouse eventually dies. For repelling without killing mice, peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls are effective when strategically placed. A half-gallon of apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 gallons of water and sprinkled around the outside of the house may turn mice away. Bounce regular scent dryer sheets placed in drawers and cabinets are reported to be an effective mouse repellent.

Thus Spoke | SCPA Review
Thus Spoke brought together a series of controversial topics and presented them through raw and unfiltered explanations and movement. Each dancer willingly threw themselves into the monologues they were presenting and delivered their message in ways that included comic relief. The topic of acceptance of all people in society, as well as the importance of privilege were some of the big topics explored throughout the piece.
The passion of the dancers helped to create a raw, uncensored picture of the way people think about certain topics. The actual movement itself was quite simple in that it was a series of hip isolations, subtle reaches, wild abandonment, all movements that complimented the message being shared. Though powerful at times, I must say some of the content was uncomfortable to witness as viewer. Dance takes many forms and allows for much experiment and abstractness as an art. However, in this particular piece the sexual references used, took away from the power of the messages and created a level of discomfort.
As a whole, it was evident that the dancers were immersed in a form of urban art, with the intention of involving the audience in a journey through speech and movement designed to create an impact, provoking thought in the audience members. A goal that was efficiently achieved.

Neon Hawaiian Ti Plant (cordyline) – Vegas Baby! Juvenile leaves begin with deep burgundy coloration soon to let loose with loud neon pink margins and tips. Cordyline Neon is a mid sized easy to grow Cordyline. Ideal for the beginner. Hawaiian Ti plants are the perfect plant choice to add lush tropical colors to any indoor or outdoor environment. Thriving on neglect, Cordyline are tolerant of both over and under watering.
The fun thing about these colorful plants is that they are so easy to root and share. Simply trim a top cutting with six inches or more of stem, remove the old leaves and put it in a flower vase near a window. While enjoying the indoor tropical colors, your new cutting should form roots in just a few weeks and will be ready to pot in a months time.
The growth rate of Neon will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. A few leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.

Hawaiian Ti are colorful, easy to grow plants that are indoor hardy and require very little attention. Hawaiian Ti are excellent houseplants that withstand more neglect than almost any other plant. In the landscape Hawaiian Ti grow happily in a pot or when planted directly in the ground. They add a colorful accent to any outdoor space, garden or patio. In cooler zones a containerized Hawaiian Ti can be relocated indoors for the winter months.
When you receive your new Hawaiian Ti, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water and moving it to a shady location, simply water when dry. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Hawaiian Ti.
All Hawaiian Ti varieties grow very well in containers, indoors or on the patio. Smaller varieties grow best indoors in 8″ to 10″ diameter pots while larger varieties need enough room for growth, generally a 10″ to a 20″ diameter, 18″ deep container will suffice. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your Hawaiian Ti will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow, at that point it is time for a larger pot.
Neon Hawaiian Ti enjoy a well drained, general purpose potting mix easily found at your local box store. Remember try to stay away from arid or wet, mucky soils.
To help establish your new Neon Hawaiian Ti, fertilize sparingly a few inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow at a slower pace. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant. Its best to use a brand you know and trust.
Best outdoors if grown in zone 9b-11, find your zone here. This Hawaiian Ti requires 80-90% sunlight. Depending on your location partial sun is often best. In the northern end of their grow zone Neon Hawaiian Ti should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4b-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before winter.
At the nursery these Hawaiian Ti are grown under 20-40% shade cloth. If you plant this Hawaiian Ti in a brightly lit area you may experience leaf burn. It is best to acclimate this plant to its environment by keeping it outside and slowly moving it into a sunny area over a week or two to avoid stress before planting.
All Neon Hawaiian Ti for sale will vary in size. In the spring, plants are often smaller than plants shipped in the fall. Plants designated with a sku ending in -4, -6 or -8 will arrive in a standard 4 inch, 6 inch or 8 inch round growers pot respectively. Our new, reusable, recyclable deep plugs are 7 or 9 inches deep and 2 or 2.5 inches in width. Products growing in these pots are easy to transplant and allow for deeper roots and faster growth, they are designated with a sku ending in -7 or -9. (Note: The item sku number can be found just below the buy button.) The color and style of these pots may vary. If we are out of a particular size item, we may ship a larger size at no additional charge. For more information, click the "best packaging" link at the bottom of this page.
Note: Before leaving, Hawaiian Ti plants are inspected, watered, and pruned. Larger plants, generally those that ship in 8″ pots, will be topped to 36″ or 48″ overall, depending on the variety, if necessary, to facilitate shipping. Your new plants' pot is then bagged to ensure that the soil stays in the pot and not loose in the box. Plants are tissue or kraft paper wrapped and generally secured in place with natural biodegradable peanuts. You may want to order your Neon Hawaiian Ti Plant (cordyline) online now while they are in stock, supplies are limited.

Located in the heart of Tokyo, this project draws on the idea of the forest to provide the right office atmosphere for a Scandinavian organization.
The use of steel and other metals was avoided in favour of the warmth that wood provides. Japanese ash and basswood were selected for the bookcase, desks, cabinets, and lockers.
To meet the requirements of the office without compromising the organizing design theme, tile carpeting, which exploits the texture of sliced lumber, was carefully chosen. As a result, the floor echoes the materiality of the objects that fill the office space.
The layout further reinforces the idea of the forest. The abstract motif of conifers was transposed onto the glass windows, creating a soft visual boundary between the aisle, the terraces, the meeting spaces, and the main office space.
During the day, the layers of the conifer motif and the shadows cast through the windows offer a naturally inspired visual solace, as if you are surrounded by trees. This is especially true in the meeting spaces, which are bounded by windows on their two sides. Finally, furniture pieces were specially ordered and installed in ways to bolster the overall design scheme.
The rows of bookcases were offset from the floor to achieve a "floating" visual effect, above which cabinets were placed with a space in between. The resultant atmosphere is that of warmth, lightness, and comfort amidst the busy environs of Tokyo.

I never used to think of myself as a gambler. I'm rethinking that.
Yesterday, I appeared on a live, phone-in talk show and hung up feeling like I'd just left a three-ring circus having been stepped on by an elephant: breathless and bruised.
It wasn't the host's fault. I'd been interviewed by her before, and I admire and respect her. I was angry with myself for not voicing my concerns, but I was winded and disoriented.
Clearly, I am a gambler
I guess if you're gonna do live radio, you takes your chances. Ok, so I got cut off during a commercial break; the technical stuff I can live with. What I'm struggling with is a few comments from a caller.
As Psych Central did a stellar job of promoting the show (thanks, guys!) I felt I had to address what went down yesterday, in case you caught the show, and to prepare others for the podcast to come.
Reality radio?
When Kat called in, she told us she was driving to church while eating breakfast and putting on her make up.
Classic ADHD. This couldn't be better if it had been staged (apparently, it wasn't.)
I'd understood that Kat was supposed to be the other woman-with-ADD guest on the show, so it was even more ADHD-ey of her to say that she'd been looking for a talk show to listen to on her way (late) to church, and was totally surprised to find us! She'd thought the show had been rescheduled.
All of a sudden, it wasn't so funny
After a bit of chit-chat, I asked her when she'd been diagnosed. "I don't think I've ever been officially diagnosed," she said. "I mean, no one has ever said, you have ADD, here's your prescription." Huh? Am I on the right show?
She continued by saying that, although she's never been officially diagnosed, she "did a little medication for a little while," but didn't like the way it made her feel. At this point, my head began to spin like Linda Blair's in the Exorcist. It spun faster when she said she takes a half an Adderall (an ADHD stimulant medication) if she feels she needs to, but she still doesn't like how it makes her feel. (Uh, maybe that's because you don't have ADD! I thought. I kept my mouth shut.)
More questions than answers
In true ADHD multi-task fashion, I continued with calm demeanor on the outside, while these questions, accompanied by loud alarm bells, screamed for attention:
– don't you need to be diagnosed to get a prescription for an ADHD medication?
– why are you talking about having ADHD if you haven't been diagnosed?
– is it SAFE to take "half" an Adderall? Cut or crush Ritalin (or its derivatives) and you'll trip out, not treat your ADHD
And, most pressing:
– what is everyone listening to this LIVE radio show RIGHT NOW thinking, and how are they going to make any sense of what you're saying when I can't even do that?
I'm the answer girl…usually
I go on radio shows to answer questions about ADHD. Sometimes I raise them, too, but they're not the kind of questions listed above (they're more like, why can't I get a date with Justin Timberlake? Doesn't he have ADHD too?…)
Let me explain…please!
For those of you who listened in (and thank you for that) it's essential that I clear up some of the dilemmas these comments raised.
First and foremost: GET A PROPER DIAGNOSIS from a qualified practitioner, especially before taking ADHD medication! I'm sorry to be shouting, but I can't emphasize this enough.
You wouldn't diagnose your own cancer; nor should you diagnose your own ADHD. Your neighbor, your dog, your boyfriend are also not qualified to diagnose you.
ADHD is in the DSM IV (the diagnostic manual for mental health conditions)
…it's in there for a reason. It's an identified mental health condition, not some cutesy way of explaining your flightiness. It's serious. It's wreaked havoc in the lives of many, especially those of us who are diagnosed late in life. It's no joke, and most of the time, it's no fun.
Diagnosis first; meds second
Medications must be prescribed by a qualified health practitioner. Never, EVER, mess with your meds! Take as prescribed and follow-up with your doc if you're not feeling ok with them. This ain't baby aspirin, people.
If you DO have ADHD, and you've found the right med, you'll notice a moderate to huge improvement in your symptoms – that's one of the ways you can tell if your diagnosis was right in the first place (although about 10% of people don't benefit from meds; for the rest of us, the benefits can be dramatic, and the side-effects, minimal to nil.)
Copy cat conditions
Lots of stuff can mimic the symptoms of ADHD: menopause, depression, bi-polar, just to name a few. If you're treating for ADHD and it's NOT ADHD – you'll be using the wrong treatment and leaving whatever medical or mental health issue you're dealing with untreated.
So, it's also important to rule out other conditions before taking a medication for ADHD. It's true that many ADHDers have a coexisting condition like depression, anxiety, etc., but unless the actual ADHD is teased out and treated, you're not going to achieve optimal health.
Little Johnny has…uh…ah, never mind
Getting accurate information about ADHD is incredibly important – for adults as well as kids. Another caller on yesterday's show mentioned that teachers are reluctant to use the label, but as I've written before, if we don't diagnose and identify the problem – how can we treat it properly? This reluctance cheats kids with ADHD, robbing them of the opportunity to live up to their full potential.
It's unsettling to think that the radio program might have left people confused and misinformed.
I hope I've clarified some of that. If not, please feel free to leave a comment.
And the next time I take a gamble, I hope lady luck is on my side. And she'd better not have ADHD, 'cause she'll show up too late!

EUGENE, Ore. – Freshman Casey Masterson broke her own school record in the 1,500-meters, qualifying for the finals with a time of 4:25.81 at the Pacific-10 track and field Championships Saturday at University of Oregon's Hayward Field.
Masterson finished in fifth place out of nine runners in the first heat of the 1,500-meters preliminaries and ran the fifth fastest time out of 17 runners in the two heats. Masterson broke her previous record by more than a second that she set at the Woody Wilson Open April 11.
"Casey ran in the fastest heat of the day and really performed well against four runners that each could be expected to win the 1,500," head coach Kelly Sullivan said. "She just ran really. We're very pleased with her effort."
Four out of five years, we've had at least one person make the final in the 1,500. That has been really fun for our program and we're excited Casey can take us there again this year."
Sophomore Abby Chesimet finished seventh in heat 2 of the 1,500-meters preliminaries with a time of 4:38.38. Senior Holly Thomson, running in her final collegiate race, finished just behind Chesimet in eighth with a time of 4:43.83.
"This was Holly's last race in what has been a great career for her," Sullivan said. "She came to Oregon State running 4:56 in high school. She has dropped her PR down to 4:32 since she has been here. That is tough to do. I am proud of how she has run for us."
In her first Pac-10 Championship race, Abby really handled it well today. We moved her down to the 1,500-meters after running five and 10k's. She has made some great progress and we are very optimistic with where she is headed in this event."
In the 10,000-meters sophomore Hannah Soza-Hodgkinson finished 16th overall and senior Rebecca Mishler wrapped up her college career finishing 17th running times of 38:15.80 and 38:57.86 respectively.
"As a true walk-on to our program, Rebecca has done great things," Sullivan said. "This fall, she stepped in at the no. 5 spot for us in cross country and ran great at the conference and regional meet. She helped us make the two highest finishes we've ever had. She never had a chance to run Pac-10s and we made the decision to give her the opportunity. It wasn't her best day but she'll always be able to say she ran at the conference meet."
Also, Hannah gained good experience in her first Pac-10 and really just saw what it's all about. She'll be motivated for this summer's training and move on a year from now and improve as a runner."
Masterson will run in the finals of the 1,500-meters tomorrow afternoon at 1:15. Following Masterson will be sophomores Hayley Oveson, Marsha Lampi, Jennifer Macias and junior Krista Stangel in the 5,000-meters at 3:15. Chesimet will be a race time decision for the 5,000-meters.
"Casey is running in a great field tomorrow," Sullivan said. "She has earned her right to be in the final. It's probably the best 1,500 field in the country. It will be a great challenge and we're very excited for her."

President Barack Obama has had a very exciting year and it just got better.
TIME magazine has named the president, their 'Person of the Year' for 2012.
This is the second time Obama has been named 'Person of the Year' by the magazine, the first time he was given the title was back in 2008.
The Commander-In-Chief was given the title for various reasons, but TIME declares there was one particular aspect of the president's characteristics that made him a shoe-in.
TIME writes:
"There are many reasons for this, but the biggest by far are the nation's changing demographics and Obama's unique ability to capitalize on them."
"He is the first president to embrace gay marriage and to offer work permits to many young undocumented immigrants," it continued.
"For finding and forging a new majority, for turning weakness into opportunity and for seeking, amid great diversity, to create a more perfect union, Barack Obama is Time's 2012 Person of the Year."

by B Watling
(Portsmouth UK)
After walking for about half an hour I begin to get a pain down mt left leg which gets more painful the further I walk and then starts to cause a limp in my left leg. It feels like a groin strain but it is not that. If I continue to walk for an hour or two (At an Exhibiton) and then return to my car I cannot lift my left leg into the car. I have to lift it in with my arms causing excruciating pain in my left leg. After around an hour's rest the pain slowly disappears until next time I walk any distance.
I also get the same sypmtoms if I potter around the house and garage all day. I also get at the same time a sort of tingly stinging feeling in my left ankle joint.
I am male, 74 years old, normally very active, returned to UK after 8 years in France where I was walking up to three or four miles a day 3/4 days a week for exercise. I also ride a fast superbike which does subject my back to some hefty painful jolts at times on our poorly maintained roads.
Hello Mr Watling,
The first, an unlikely consideration but needs to be considered. Pain in the leg that increases with walking could be a partially blocked artery in the groin area causing "intermittent claudication". Ever a smoker? High cholesterol? To rule this out you need to ask your doctor to check the posterior tibial artery pulse in the ankle.
More likely, this sounds like a hip condition, or perhaps a referral as you say via the Femoral nerve to the front of the thigh and inner lower leg. A Femoral nerve stretch test will verify this.
Lying on your back pull first the good knee to your chest, then towards the opposite shoulder, then rotate your hip. Now the naughty leg. Is there a marked difference?
What's needed is an X-ray of your hip. In the X-ray above for example, is a condition called Femero Acetabular impingement syndrome that causes these sorts of symptoms, but there are others.
Start with an X-ray.
Let me know what pulling your leg about does.

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mr S is a 76 year old man with neck pain of some 9 months duration. Luckily, most of the discomfort is upper cervical which is only rarely arthritic; his lower cervical spine is a degenerative mess that I've left alone. After seven treatments his pain and stiffness is 50 percent better, and he's happy in the circumstances. He can sleep through the night now and that makes a huge difference.
2. Mr P is 32 year old man with very severe lower back pain radiating to the big toe which is 30 percent numb. He had an episode three weeks ago, took anti inflammatories and was soon better as is typical of the medial disc herniation. But before it healed, after a trivia it came roaring back, much worse. The characteristic crossed sign was evident; sitting in a chair, straightening the right leg provoked severe left back pain and tingling in the leg. He's doing well.
3. Severe lower back pain is scary; just ask Mrs P. Just watching her get out of the car I she was in trouble; she had a slipped disc at L4 making her lean towards the opposite side; luckily she had no pain in the leg. Despite family pressure that this was far too severe for a chiropractor, she persevered. Within five days she was standing upright, and after two weeks almost painfree.
Despite a hectic job, she wisely took my advice and stayed home for what I call exercising bed rest.
4. Mr S has had lower back, groin and back of thigh and calf pain for fourth months.
He has a pincer deformity in the hip causing the stabs in the groin, and a degenerative facet causing the sciatica. Both are responding well to chiropractic and he's well pleased; sixty five percent better after three treatments.
5. Mr T is a wise man; he's taken a warning TIA seriously and has lost 15 pounds, and has at least as much again to lose. A change to a low starch diet and half hour daily walk has made the difference; but the walking is making his foot and back miserable. The expensive orthotic is hopeless; luckily his hips and back are fine, but he needs a simple heel lift.
6. I too have had serious lower back issues, luckily fixed by my own chiropractor; so I too have to do my exercises, take care when lifting supers full of honey, gardening and using the chainsaw. Regaining the function of your spine is just as important as the pain.
7. My own granddaughter, only 7 is hypermobile giving her pelvic, knee and ankle issues. Xrays show a mildly dysplastic hip. Years ago we would have called it growing pains. She too regularly needs chiropractic care and luckily responds well. Increased range of motion is more difficult than too stiff in my opinion. Our care is for kids too.
8. This 65 year old lady is a serious gardener; every day she is bending, lifting and digging for 2 to 3 hours a day. It regularly catches her in the sacroiliac joint, so she has a treatment once a month that sorts it out. She does her lower back exercises faithfully.
9. This 88 year old lady is an inspiration; every day she is busy in the community. With a nasty scoliosis she manages very well with a chiropractic adjustment every six weeks and exercises faithfully done.
10. Mr X is a 71 year old retired man who wants to continue with maintenance care every six to eight weeks; he had suffered from two years of lower back pain when he first came a year ago. He has no discomfort now after 8 chiropractic treatments, but is aware that danger lurks.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mr D is a 38 old year man with chronic shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear playing cricket. It responded well to treatment, but he knows he must do his exercises every day; for two years he couldn't sleep on that shoulder.
13. Mr D, a 71 year old man, has a severe ache in the shoulder and midback since working above his head. Trapped nerve tests are negative but he has advanced degenerative joints of Luschka; after just two treatments he is 50 percent better. Can we reach 90?
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.
Have a problem that's not getting better? Looking for a different slant on your pain? Want to pose a question?

Greetings, Dr B.
You helped me quite some time back with a soothing and professional response which turned out to be exactly correct. I now consult a local chiropractor. You write a superb newsletter, too.
Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.
You visited this chiropractic help site no doubt because you have a problem that is not resolving and want to know more about what chiropractors do.
The quickest and most interesting way is to read one of my ebooks of anecdotes. Described by a reader as gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a chiropractor, you'll love them. Priced right at $2.99, though Kindle fiddles the price without telling me.

We frequently encounter claims arising from errors based on improper disbursements made at closing or the failure to pay off a prior lien, mortgage or deed of trust. These may also include the failure to obtain a release of a prior lien or home equity line of credit despite full payoff at closing. Closing and disbursing errors made at closing may result in lien priority disputes, and potentially foreclosure actions requiring the filing of emergency requests for restraining orders to prevent loss of property on behalf of insured owners and lenders.
Additional closing errors may involve fraud, forgery, RESPA (the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act), lender's written escrow instructions, or may arise in connection with construction disbursement.

Wine Culture?
We've spent some time talking about wine culture and its negative affects on native populations, mainly in terms of alcohol abuse and how much of the wine industry only has the capacity to produce low paying jobs.
That's unfortunate and while we wait for a wine of the month club to produce profits for everyone, not just their owners-I couldn't help but wonder if there were any American wine regions which were successful very close to current Native lands.
The first region which came to mind was the region in New Mexico close to Las Cruces and Mesilla, long a stronghold of native populations and one of the regions that has had the highest level of success of bringing in modernity without negatively affecting local indigeneous populations.
In any case, do you know much about New Mexico? How did it get so successful? Was it planned? Did it just happen?

What a great service you have provided with our recycling effort; everyone that I have spoken to from Revolution is very enthusiastic. At my end, especially with the winter pickup, staff kept adding to the electronics that were to be recycled. You have made it very easy for us. Besides all your great work, what I was most happy about was the planting of trees with every pickup.
Frank DeakUniversity of Toronto
The Faculty of Medicine @ the University of Toronto calls Revolution when we have data to destroy and electronics to recycle. They are responsive and timely and have the certifications we need to ensure the job is done properly. Revolution allows me to focus on maintaining my network while reducing the clutter in my work environment. I would recommend them to any busy IT professional.
Kevin NguyenBackground Backup
I just wanted to say the pick-up went off with out a hitch yesterday and it was an overall excellent experience! Thank very much for all your help! Especially for scheduling it with such short notice. We've got you guys saved in our back pocket when we need to recycle more e-waste in the future!

Top 10 fall camp story lines for South Carolina football in 2017
The Gamecocks open head coach Will Muschamp's second season Monday morning when they hit the practice field for the first time. All eyes will be on Jake Bentley, Jamyest Williams and a few more players.
Jake Bentley's workload
The sophomore quarterback is South Carolina's unquestioned starter and the Gamecocks have virtually no experience in the second spot, whether that ends up being Michael Scarnecchia or Jay Urich. That normally might be a recipe for Bentley to give up some practice snaps to the backups, but given that Bentley has only seven starts and needs to work through the offseason progress he's made in controlling the team's pass protections, don't expect him to watch much this fall.
Running back competition
Returning starter Rico Dowdle, UNC transfer Ty'Son Williams and one-time starter A.J. Turner are listed as co-starters entering camp, but Dowdle is expected to walk out for the first snap. The most plausible outcome of this competition seems to be for Dowdle and Williams, who are 220 pounds and 215 respectively, to share most of the first- and second-down snaps and the 185-pound Turner becoming the third-down back.
Offensive line moves
Zack Bailey probably will stick at right tackle after being a standout guard last year. The two most interesting spots to watch will be left tackle and left guard. Malik Young will get the first shot at left tackle, in front of redshirt freshman Sadarius Hutcherson. At left guard, the competition is between two veterans – junior Donnell Stanley and senior D.J. Park – who came in with a lot of recruiting hype but haven't performed to that level yet.
The other pass catchers
Everyone by now knows wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards and tight end Hayden Hurst, but as good as that trio is expected to be, the Gamecocks need more receivers to develop. There are some intriguing prospects among the candidates, but the most intriguing might be redshirt freshman Randrecous Davis. USC tried to get him on the field last year but a hamstring injury limited him to two catches and then a medical redshirt. Chavis Dawkins, Korey Banks and true freshman early enrollee OrTre Smith also could be in the WR rotation. K.C. Crosby should be the No. 2 TE.
Formation rotation
Offensive coordinator Kurt Roper has much more depth of offensive talent than he had in his first year and a more experienced quarterback on top of that. That means he will be able to use a lot of different formations to emphasize either his running backs, tight ends or wide receivers, but the Gamecocks need to figure out what works best. That could mean a lot of tinkering in fall camp as Roper looks at a lot of different personnel groupings to see where his best advantages are.
Senior defensive linemen
Head coach Will Muschamp has put pressure squarely on the shoulders of senior defensive linemen Dante Sawyer, Taylor Stallworth and Ulric Jones, mentioning them by name at SEC media days. That trio has shown some flashes but mostly been non-spectacular. That's fine for backups, but all three will be in the starting lineup on the first day of camp. They probably will keep those spots into the season because of a lack of depth behind them, but they need to up their game this fall if USC's DL is going to hold up.
Pass rush particulars
If Sawyer, Stallworth and Jones can be solid and stand up against the run, the Gamecocks will have a better chance to get some type of pass rush from other areas. The most likely candidates at the moment are sophomore end D.J. Wonnum, who had 3.5 tackles-for-loss as a true freshman, and senior linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams who is versatile enough to rush off the edge. The coaching staff also is quietly hoping that incoming freshman Davonne Bowen can provide something from an outside linebacker position.
Jam session
All eyes will be on signee Jamyest Williams the first time he steps on the practice field. The smallest player in the signing class – 5-foot-9, 174 pounds – is also the most highly rated. Williams is expected, at least by Gamecocks fans, to make an immediate impact on the defense and maybe on the return game. The most likely spot for Williams would be the nickel position, where his quickness would match well with slot receivers.
Linebacker depth
South Carolina feels very good about starting linebackers Allen-Williams, Skai Moore and T.J. Brunson, but there is almost no experienced depth behind them. The preseason depth chart lists converted safety Antoine Wilder in one of the backup spots. Freshmen like Bowen, Damani Stanley and maybe Brad Johnson (who signed as a defensive lineman but could move back) will get a shot to provide depth immediately.
Secondary shuffle
Even without Williams being inserted into the mix, the South Carolina secondary would be malleable. JaMarcus King and Rashad Fenton are listed as the starting cornerbacks entering camp, with Chris Lammons at the nickel. Depth at safety is thin, which could mean a move back for Lammons if Williams can come on this fall. Another name to watch is newcomer Jaylin Dickerson, who caught the coaches' eyes in spring practice.

Today I started an investigation on the changes between InfoPath 2007 development and InfoPath 2010 development.
I really hope that InfoPath 2010 will bring more functionality and development flexibility as it really is a great "quick-win" tool for business which is sometimes crippled by a lack of development richness.
So.. one of my first questions was.. how easy is it to develop code behind (create custom code) for an InfoPath 2010 Form.
This tutorial will show you that it is still extremely easy to accomplish adding custom code, and my initial impression is that for a developer things will only become easier when moving to InfoPath 2010.
1. Make sure you meet the minimum system requirements (available here).
2. Install Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA).
3. Choose a programming language (inside the InfoPath Forms Designer).
4. Add event handlers and code.
Let's get Started:
Open Microsoft InfoPath Designer 2010.
From the Form Templates Dialog, select "Blank Form".
Change the default Label on the form to something appropriate.
Since this is a first InfoPath 2010 tutorial, we cannot use anything else than "Hello World"
Click on the form and select the "Home" tab from the ribbon. Expand the controls pane to view the available controls.
Add a Button and a Text Box to your form under the "This is a 'Hellow World' label.
If you click on the 'Developer' tab in the ribbon, you will see you can se the programming language of the form.
When you click on the Language command you will see the 'Form Options' dialog with the 'Programming' section selected. In here click on 'Change Language' and specify the language of choice.
Once your development language has been specified you can go ahead to add custom code to your form.
In design mode, select the custom button on your form and you will notice the ribbon automatically changes to show 'Control Tools' pane.
Click on the Properties item and click on the 'Custom Code' command.
If your prerequisites were installed correctly, InfoPath forms designer will now open Visual Studio Tools for Applications and create a event handler for the button click event.
Inside the FormCode.cs you will see the following code:
public void CTRL1_5_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
Add your custom code inside this event. I added some code to set the field value of the textbox (custom field) which I added earlier in this tutorial:
public void CTRL1_5_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
XPathNavigator domNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
XPathNavigator field = domNav.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", NamespaceManager);
field.SetValue("Hello World");
Build your code and save the project.
Return to the InfoPath Forms Designer.
On the Home pane in the ribbon you will see on the far right the form preview command.
Click on this command to preview your form.
If you preview the form and click on the button you will see the custom code execute and add a value to the custom field which is then displayed in the textbox.
You can add breakpoints to your code to step through it if you want.
In the next post will I show how easy it is to publish the InfpPath form.
Enjoy !!
