The idea and innovation is why we are the United States, we can dream dreams and make our own dream. Everybody needs to understand how business and investors look at deals. You must have everything in place to make it easier for them to consider a deal. Your Sales, Your Structure (Complience), Your Personal, and Your Business Credit! YOU NEED ALL FOUR TO GET A DEAL DONE. You have have innovation but you have to provide that they market place is ready and you can sell it and the best way to do it is SELL, SELL, SELL!!!! I like a business who have over $300 in annual sale or more, good personal and business credit, and have all their corporate paper work in order.

Financing a start-up business or even a small growing business is hard in any market. But, it is really just another part of doing business. Just like shopping around for a manaufacturer or supplier or even hiring employees - you just have to do your homework and in the end go with your gut. But, if you take the time to research then you will be armed with enough information to make the right decision.
As a side note, this is why we started our company. I use to run a business incubator and finding financing for our clients was one of our biggest issues. Thus, we created a website that outlines many solid options about small business financing, providing the pros and cons to them and then allowing users to search for, compare and selece companies that actually provide those types of capital. But, what sets us apart from those you talk about in your post is that we don't charge anything (and don't want anything in return) - we just provide information and resources to help the business owner make better decisions.
I often see people entering the community for the first time looking for information about how to finance their ideas. Many people have the drive and ambition ... they have the good ideas and all of their ducks in a row ... but they are lacking the funding to make their dreams a reality. Some are trying to figure out where to get start-up funding while others are seeking alternative funding due to problems with their credit report or the economy.
Not always, but many times these questions about where and how to obtain funding are met with a slew of responses from "organizations" willing to "look over their information" and/or "finance them", generally at some outrageous rate with impossible stipulations destined to set one up for failure. Many make promises that aren't all they're cracked up to be. Where ever there is a need to be filled, there is usually some unscrupulous person out there just dying to get someone desperate enough to let them fill it.
However, there are safe resources available. There are many individuals right here in the community who can be trusted to provide you with good, accurate information about your options. Also, you can find some safe resources at the Small Business Administration's website. From Podcasts to online courses, the SBA offers many informative opportunities. Just remember, when seeking information about funding your new business, always use your head rather than your heart. Take it to heart and be business smart ... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! All the best with your future endeavours!

Facebook recently initiated a $6 billion share buyback program for 2017, a year the company is calling a year of investment.
In this segment from Industry Focus: Tech, Motley Fool analyst Dylan Lewis and contributor Daniel Sparks talk about one hefty investment that Facebook and other big tech companies are going to have to make in 2017 and why it's so important to invest so heavily into their talent pool.
A full transcript follows the video.
This podcast was recorded on Dec. 2, 2016.
Dylan Lewis: One of the things I think is kind of curious, and maybe why some people were caught a little off guard by this, was most of the rhetoric from Facebook's management in the most recent calls had been talking about how 2017 was a year of investment. We don't really think of that as share repurchase program. We think of that more as investing in the business, right?
Daniel Sparks: Right, and that's interesting. But I think that the narrative in these Palo Alto, Silicon Valley companies in the Bay Area, is really, they're starting to think of investments as talent. Of course, they're making big investments in other areas, and I'm sure we'll see some acquisitions and some investments in the product. But at the end of the day, it's really expensive to retain talent, and Facebook realizes that for them to stay ahead, they're going to have to make some massive investments in talent. When you actually look closely at Facebook's most recent earnings call, you will see a huge emphasis on Facebook focusing on maintaining talent. So, when they say it's going to be a big investment year, I think a lot of that has to do with their expected jump in stock-based compensation. When you factor in this repurchase program with their stock-based compensation, all of this starts to make a little bit more sense.
Lewis: Yeah. To look to another company that seems to be using share buybacks kind of the same way, why don't we talk about Alphabet a little bit? This is a business that finally initiated a buyback program in late 2015, which was over 10 years after going public as Google. I think, really, when you look at what they've done with buybacks in the last year, that's going to be a blueprint from what we can expect from Facebook. It seems like it's been opportunistic, and it's really just to offset stock-based compensation again, right?
Sparks: Right. Alphabet is definitely a really good example of how investors might want to think about the Facebook program right now. Alphabet, in 2015, announced that they were going to to do a $5.1 billion repurchase program. At the time, you could look at the pace of their stock-based compensation and say, "This will probably equal out to about their stock-based compensation."

Tina Weedon Smith Memorial Hall, located at 805 S. Mathews Avenue in Urbana, Illinois, is an historic building on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Smith Hall is located just off the main quad of campus and is just east of Foellinger Auditorium. The building was constructed in 1917-21 and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by James M. White and George E. Wright.
Smith Hall is known for being the first building on the campus to be completely funded by a private party donation.[2] It was dedicated to Tina Weedon Smith by her husband, Captain Thomas J. Smith. Smith Hall is used for university lectures and music classes, as well as for speakers and performances.
In 1996 Smith Memorial Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois.[3]
On August 14, 1913, Captain Thomas J. Smith wrote a letter to Captain Edward Bailey stating that Smith intended to donate about $200,000 to the University of Illinois to build a music building in memory of his wife, Tina Weedon Smith. Captain Smith had been a member of the board of trustees from 1897 to 1903. Smith donated land and money that totaled approximately $480,500 to pay for the building construction.[4]
Construction on Smith Memorial Hall began on November 9, 1917 when Captain Thomas J. Smith laid the cornerstone.[2] Materials used during the construction were large amounts of stone, brick, metal, and limestone.[5] The building was designed in the Beaux-Arts architecture style by James McLaren White, a professor at the University, and George E. Wright. Final construction on the building was completed in 1920.[2]
A 30 percent expansion of the building was in the original plans and was also shown on campus maps until 1930. However, in 1931 the proposed expansion to the building was dropped and the maps never showed the expansion again.[2]
Groundbreaking ceremony
According to the Daily Illini newspaper, the groundbreaking ceremony for Smith Memorial Hall took place on Tuesday October 24, 1916.[6] Captain Thomas J. Smith and President James of the University used a spade to break the ground at the site of construction. The spade, covered in University of Illinois colors, was given to Captain Smith after the ceremony.[6] Captain Smith also gave a speech to the crowd of spectators, faculty, students, trustees, and Glee Club members. During the address, Captain Smith said, "I determined that I would cause to be erected a building to her memory and present the same to the University of Illinois, dedicated to the cause of music for the use of the University musical college for the advancement of the science and art of music, with the hope that it would in a measure bless mankind. From that time I have lived an economical life, to the end that I might be able to contribute to the erection of such a building as would be a credit alike to the memory of the departed loved one and to the University." The speech was followed by a performance by the University Glee Club.[6]
Excavation of the land was to be completed within thirty days of the groundbreaking ceremony. The contract was held by Wager & Company of Champaign-Urbana.[6]
Smith Memorial Hall houses many different musical performance and practice rooms, the largest of which is the large performance hall, which seats 650 in the orchestra and 450 in the balcony.[2] The acoustics of the large performance hall are controlled by having a period of reverberation of 1.75 seconds when at full capacity, and having provisions in the design to decrease the period of reverberation when the hall was empty.[2] The building also has a number of practice rooms, including seven studios and two classrooms on the first floor, and an additional 11 studios and 49 practice rooms on the second floor. The second floor is also home to a 200-person lecture room. The third floor of the hall houses another additional 47 practice rooms.[2] Smith Memorial Hall also boasts a 900-person recital room lined with detailed mahogany woodwork throughout. This recital hall is where the three manual Casavant Frères organ is located.[7]
The Memorial Room of the Smith Memorial Hall is a lavishly decorated drawing room, with crystal chandeliers. It is often used for chamber music performances and student recitals.[7]
Current uses
Smith Memorial Hall is now used for musical practices and recitals. The building's large lecture rooms are used regularly, and the small rooms throughout the hall are used by university musicians for teaching and practice. The lecture halls are also used for musical recitals and performances. Many recitals are played in the hall every year, including harpsichord recitals, Doctor of Musical Arts recitals, and performances by university music students and jazz bands.[8]

From WebMD:
Beth Y. Karlan, MD, director of the Women's Cancer Research Program at Cedars-Sinai's Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute in Los Angeles, says warning signs do not mean cancer, even if you have all of them. But if your symptoms are "persistent and progressive, meaning you wake up every morning and feel something and it has you worried — even for two weeks in a row — it really is worth calling your physician and having it checked out."
Regular checkups and screenings such as Pap smears and mammograms, as well as knowing your own body, are all crucial for good health.
Which changes are worth bringing to your doctor's attention? Here are ten signs experts think you should keep on your radar screen.
1. Breast Changes
If you feel a lump, you shouldn't ignore it, even if your mammogram is normal. If your nipple develops scaliness or flaking, that could indicate Paget's disease of the nipple, which is associated with an underlying cancer in about 95% of cases. Any milky or bloody nipple discharge should also be checked out. Dimpling of the skin over the breast, particularly if it looks like the skin on an orange, is something to be worried about. Such dimpling is most often associated with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare, usually aggressive cancer characterized also by swollen, hot, red breasts.
2. Irregular Bleeding
Once you hit menopause (defined as 12 months without a period), any postmenopausal bleeding is a warning sign. Any bleeding, staining, little drops on your underwear, or big clots are abnormal and should be immediately investigated. Such bleeding could indicate something as benign as an endometrial polyp or something more serious like endometrial or cervical cancer.
Bleeding that is uncharacteristic for you — spotting outside of your normal menstrual cycle or heavier periods. Around menopause, abnormal bleeding is often attributed to hormonal shifts, though more serious problems could be the cause, which is why all abnormal vaginal bleeding should be evaluated. Expect to receive a transvaginal sonogram and perhaps a biopsy.
3. Rectal Bleeding
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in women. One of the hallmarks is rectal bleeding, which many people attribute to hemorrhoids, the most common cause. But it's not always that. Red or dark blood in your stool warrants a visit to your doctor. Your doctor will likely do a rectal exam and order a colonoscopy if you're 50 or older and perhaps even if you're younger.
4. Discharge
A foul or smelly vaginal discharge could be a sign of cervical cancer. The discharge may contain blood and may occur between periods or after menopause. It's best not to self-treat a discharge with over-the-counter medications. An exam is necessary to determine if the discharge is due to an infection or something more serious.
5. Bloating
Ovarian cancer is the No. 1 killer of all the reproductive-organ cancers. The four most frequent symptoms are bloating; feeling that you're getting full earlier than you typically would when eating; changing bowel or bladder habits, such as urinating more frequently; and low back or pelvic pain. Pay attention if you have two or more symptoms occurring daily for more than two weeks. If they're persistent and progressive, call your physician. Expect a pelvic exam, transvaginal sonogram, and perhaps a CA-125 blood test to check for cancerous cells.
6. Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
Gaining excess weight month to month — especially if you usually maintain a normal weight and watch what you eat — can be due to an accumulation of fluid in the belly related to ovarian cancer and warrants seeing your doctor. Unexplained weight loss of 10 pounds or more may be the first sign of cancer, according to the American Cancer Society, and is most often associated with pancreatic, stomach, esophagus, or lung cancer. But weight loss in women is often caused by a hyperactive thyroid. Expect your doctor to order a thyroid test first to check for this common disease.
7. Persistent Cough
Any persistent cough — one that lasts more than two or three weeks and is not due to an allergy or upper respiratory infection or one that produces blood in the sputum— needs to be checked by your doctor. If your cough may be caused by smoking or being exposed to second-hand smoke, get it checked out. Smoking is the number one cancer killer of women, but you don't have to be a smoker to be at risk. Expect your doctor to order a chest X-ray and perhaps a CT scan.
8. Change in Lymph Nodes
If you feel hard lymph nodes in your neck or under your arm, you should be seen by a doctor. Swollen, firm lymph nodes are often the result of an infection. However, lymphoma or lung, breast, head, or neck cancer that has spread can also show up as an enlarged lymph node. Expect a physical exam and possibly a biopsy.
9. Fatigue
Although fatigue can be hard to quantify, the American Cancer Society defines it as "extreme tiredness that does not get better with rest." If you're persistently fatigued, see your doctor. Leukemia, colon, or stomach cancer — which can cause blood loss — can result in fatigue. Fatigue can be a serious problem and it's easy to ignore. Your doctor will most likely do a physical exam and order blood tests to evaluate your thyroid and rule out a thyroid condition.
10. Skin Changes
Keep an eye on any changes you notice on your skin all over your body, and call your doctor right away if anything concerns you. Sores in the mouth that don't heal — especially if you smoke or drink alcohol — may be a sign of oral cancer and should be examined by your physician. In particular, note any sores or irritated skin in the vaginal area. A nonhealing vulvar lesion could be a sign of vulvar cancer. Changes in moles or pigmented lesions on the vulva can also signify cancer. Vulvar melanoma can frequently be overlooked and can have a very aggressive course. A simple biopsy can be done in your doctor's office if necessary.

Smooth Sailing offers an option in the Custom Options for anyone to enter their own custom stylesheet information. This tutorial explains how to make the content tables in the Smooth Sailing layout transparent using this feature.
To make the content tables transparent, you will need to add the following code to the 'Custom stylesheet' field in the Custom CSS section of Custom Options.
.entryHolder, .commentHolder, .sidebox
{background-color: transparent !important;}
If you wish to make your content tables semi-transparent, you would use the following code instead:
.entryHolder, .commentHolder, .sidebox
{filter:alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity:0.8; opacity:0.8; !important}
The opacity level, set to 80 in the above example, can be changed to any number that you prefer. Setting the opacity to 100, or 1.0, will make the background completely opaque. If you want your background to be solid there is no need to use any override at all.

INTRODUCTION • ABOUT TURKISH CUISINE • Dairy Products • Soups • Bread • Pastries • Rice and Pasta • Vegetarian Dishes(Vegetable and Egg) • Meze and Salads • Meat Dishes(Kebabs) • Fish • Deserts • Beverages • CONCLUSION
About Turkish Cuisine Turkish cuisine is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine,which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian,Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines.Turkish cuisine has in turn influenced those and other neighbouring cuisines,including those of western Europe.
About Turkish Cuisine Turkish cuisine varies across the country. The cooking of Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, and rest of the Aegean region inherits many elements of Ottoman court cuisine, with a lighter use of spices, a preference for rice over bulgur, and a wider use of seafoods. The cuisine of the Black Sea Region uses fish extensively, especially the Black Sea anchovy (hamsi), has been influenced by Balkan and Slavic cuisine, and includes maize dishes. The cuisine of the southeast—Urfa, Gaziantep and Adana—is famous for its kebabs, mezes and dough-based desserts such as baklava, kadayıf and künefe (kanafeh).
About Turkish Cuisine Especially in the western parts of Turkey, where olive trees grow abundantly, olive oil is the major type of oil used for cooking.The cuisines of the Aegean, Marmara and Mediterranean regions are rich in vegetables, herbs, and fish. Central Anatolia has many famous specialties, such as keşkek (kashkak), mantı (especially from Kayseri) and gözleme.
About Turkish Cuisine A specialty's name sometimes includes that of a city or region, either in or outside of Turkey, and may refer to the specific technique or ingredients used in that area. For example, the difference between urfa kebab and adana kebab is the thickness of the skewer and the amount of hot pepper that kebab contains. Urfa kebab is less spicy and thicker than adana kebab.
About Turkish Cuisine
Dairy Products
Dairy Products • Yogurt is an important element in Turkish cuisine.In fact, the English word yogurt or yogurt derives from the Turkish word yoğurt. Yogurt can accompany almost all meat dishes (kebabs, köfte), vegetable dishes (especially fried eggplant, courgette, spinach with minced meat etc.), meze and a specialty called mantı (folded triangles of dough containing minced meat). One of the most common Turkish drinks, ayran, is made from yogurt. Also, yogurt is often used in the preparation of cakes, some soups and pastries.
Dairy Products • Beyaz peynir is a salty cheese taking its name from its white color ("white cheese"). It is eaten plain (e.g. as part of the traditional Turkish breakfast), used in salads, and incorporated into cooked foods such as menemen, börek and pide.

Soups A Turkish meal usually starts with a thin soup (çorba). Soups are usually named after their main ingredient, the most common types being; mercimek (lentil) çorbası, yogurt, or wheat (often mashed) called tarhana çorbası. Delicacy soups are the ones that are usually not the part of the daily diet, like işkembe soup.İşkembe soup and paça çorbası, although the latter also used to be consumed as a nutritious winter meal. Before the popularisation of the typical Turkish breakfast, soup was the default morning meal for some people.
Soups The most common soups in Turkish cuisine are: • Buğday aşı/Yoğurt Çorbası/Ayran Çorbası (which can be served hot or cold) • Lahana (cabbage soup) • Tavuk (chicken soup, if added almond becomes "Bademli Tavuk") • Düğün (Wedding soup) • Ezogelin • İşkembe(Paunch) • Mercimek (lentil soup) • Şehriye • Tarhana • Domates • Yayla

Desserts • Among milk-based desserts, the most popular ones are muhallebi, su muhallebisi, sütlaç (rice pudding), keşkül, kazandibi (meaning the bottom of "kazan" because of its burnt surface), and tavuk göğsü (a sweet, gelatinous, milk pudding dessert quite similar to kazandibi, to which very thinly peeled chicken breast is added to give a chewy texture).

Desserts • Güllaç is a dessert typically served at Ramadan, which consists of very thin large dough layers put in the milk and rose water, served with pomegranate seeds and walnut.

Sometimes cinnamon and rose water is added when being served. According to legend, it was first cooked on Noah's Ark and contained seven different ingredients in one dish. All the Anatolian peoples have cooked and are still cooking aşure especially during the month of Muharrem.
Desserts • Another jelly like Turkish sweet is macun. Mesir macunu of Manisa/İzmir (which was also called "nevruziye" as this macun was distributed on the first day of spring in the Ottoman Palace) contains 41 different spices. It is still believed that "mesir macunu" is good for health and has healing effects. • Tavuk göğsü is a Turkish style milky pudding with chicken breast.
Alcoholic Beverages
Alcoholic Beverages • Raki is a Turkish unsweetened, anise-flavored hard alcoholic drink that is popular in Turkey and in the Balkan countries as an apéritif. It is often served with seafood or Turkish meze. It is similar to several other alcoholic beverages available around the Mediterranean, Albanian regions, the Middle East e.g., pastis, ouzo, sambuca, arak, and aguardiente. It is considered as the National alcoholic beverage of Turkey.
Alcoholic Beverages • There are a few local brands of lager such as Bomonti, Marmara34 and Efes Pilsen and a large variety of international beers that are produced in Turkey such as Skol, Beck's, Miller, Foster's, Carlsberg and Tuborg. • There are a variety of local wines produced by Turkish brands such as Kavaklıdere, Doluca, Corvus, Kayra, Pamukkale and Diren which are getting more popular with the change of climatic conditions that affect the production of wine.
Non-alcoholic Beverages
Non-alcoholic Beverages • At breakfast and all day long Turkish people drink black tea. Tea is made with two teapots in Turkey. Strong bitter tea made in the upper pot is diluted by adding boiling water from the lower. • Turkish coffee is a method of preparing coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are boiled in a pot (cezve), usually with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. This method of serving coffee is found in the Middle East, North Africa, the Caucasus, and the Balkans.
Non-alcoholic Beverages • Ayran (salty yogurt drink) is the most common cold beverage, which may accompany almost all dishes in Turkey, except those with fish and seafood. • Şalgam suyu (mild or hot turnip juice) is another important non-alcoholic beverage which is usually combined with kebabs or served together with rakı.
Non-alcoholic Beverages • Boza is a traditional winter drink, which is also known as millet wine (served cold with cinnamon and sometimes with leblebi). • Sahlep is another favorite in winter (served hot with cinnamon). Sahlep is extracted from the roots of wild orchids and may be used in Turkish ice cream as well. This was a popular drink in western Europe before coffee was brought from Africa and came to be known.

Children Risk Lives on Kent's Railways
15 July 2010, 11:10 | Updated: 15 July 2010, 11:47
Heart's been given a footage from a CCTV camera showing a child narrowly avoiding being electrocuted as he wanders over a railway line after spraying graffiti.
It's as figures are released showing there were 240 reported cases of trespass and vandalism involving young people on the railways in Kent last year.
Network Rail say the youngsters are putting their own lives, and sometimes the lives of train passengers, at risk.
Dave Ward, Network Rail's route director for Kent said: "It's good to see the number of incidents involving young people coming down, but far too many continue to risk their lives by taking a misguided short cut or worse, deliberately messing around on the tracks. Unlike cars, trains cannot swerve and can take the length of 20 football pitches to stop.
"Contact with electricity power lines and tracks can result in horrific injuries, burns or even death. We want to prevent such incidents and help young people find more rewarding and exciting ways to spend their free time."
British Transport Police Inspector Ed Walton said: "BTP officers continue to work closely with Network Rail and train operating companies across the country to educate young people about the dangers of going near the railway line.
"Our message is simple: the railway is not a playground – stay safe and stay out of trouble. Every year we see people risking their lives either by careless actions, such as taking a shortcut across the tracks or by playing on or near the line.
"Anyone who messes around near the tracks is not only risking a court appearance, they are putting their lives at risk."
The most shocking examples include:
- 63 incidents of objects, such as stones and bricks and even fireworks being thrown at trains
- 92 reports of trespass, including playing chicken and taking shortcuts
- 15 incidents of graffiti
- laser pens being shone into the eyes of train drivers at Faversham and Westgate-on-Sea
- a pellet gun fired at train at Birchington-on-Sea
- young people 'train surfing' at Broadstairs and Minster
The whole 'kitchen sink' has been placed on the tracks– many causing costly damage to trains and delays to services. They include:
- 15 bikes/tricycles/scooters (Ashford, Broadstairs x 2, Faversham, Gillingham, Gravesend, Leigh, Ramsgate, Swanscombe, Westgate-on-Sea x 2)
- 3 gas cylinders (Gravesend, Queenborough, Westgate-on-Sea)
- television (High Brooms)
- shopping trolley (Kemsley)
- fencing panel (Rainham)
- chairs (Northfleet, Snowdown)
- barbeque (Faversham)
- traffic lights (Deal)
- scaffolding (Broadstairs)
- pram (Ashford)
As the summer holidays begin, Network Rail is encouraging young people to take up more positive activities and not put themselves at risk of serious injury or worse, by taking unnecessary risks on the tracks. Its No Messin' campaign, which works with local community groups and clubs across Britain, is fronted by world boxing champion Amir Khan.

(For JJ)
The kid's perched
on a rock wall
between the sidewalk
and a church—
two unsaid ends
of an invisible spectrum.
I picked him up
under his armpits
to put him there
as he bashfully
pretended to decline.
He looks to his right
face lighting up
as two ants wander the flat stone
shared by the six-year-old.
His sneakered foot twitches
before he moves to lift it.
"Don't," I warn
with love and firmness equal.
"But I like to squash them,"
he protests.
I hold the tip down
feeling his tiny toes
through the rubber
and tie his shoe
since he's unable—
a late bloomer;
a precious gem.
"We respect life," I tell him
doubling the bow for safety.
Our pizza's still warm
though we arrive
ten minutes late
to claim it.

NEW YORK – The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog says nuclear power is safer than before the 2011 meltdown crisis started at the Fukushima No. 1 atomic plant, now that countries have upped preparedness for natural disasters.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a statement to a U.N. General Assembly meeting Monday that "measures have been taken to improve protection against extreme hazards such as earthquakes and tsunami."
Amano said the IAEA projects a steady increase in nuclear power plants in the next 20 years, with China, India, South Korea and Russia having planned "significant expansions" of their atomic programs.
On North Korea's nuclear arms program, the IAEA chief said he remains "seriously concerned" and called Pyongyang's statements about uranium enrichment activities "deeply troubling.
Pyongyang's delegation criticized the IAEA as siding with "the U.S. hostilities toward" North Korea and "following blindly" U.S. policy against the North.
It said North Korea, "as everybody knows, has emerged as a full-fledged . . . nuclear weapon state."

With summer just weeks away from ending and harvest season just around the corner, farmers are already starting to wonder what lies ahead for the winter months.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center,a warmer winter may actually be in the forecast. The three-month outlook predicts that parts of the country have a 40-50% probability of having higher than average winter temperatures.
Three-Month Temperature Probability Outlook: Nov. 2019 – Jan. 2020
The outlook suggests this winter will contrast last year's season of brutal temperatures and the heavy amounts of snow much of America's farmland experienced in 2018.
Three-Month Precipitation Probability Outlook: Nov. 2019 – Jan. 2020
The three-month forecast also predicts normal to slightly above normal precipitation, good news for parts of the Midwest that saw several barns collapse due to heavy snowfall.
Although winter temperatures look to be balmier than normal, some producers are still concerned about a potential bedding shortage this coming season. If a bedding shortage is on the horizon for your operation, read: Will There be a Bedding Shortage this Winter?

Whew!! I guess the big news this summer is the heat. What is up with this weather? These last few weeks the the average temperature here at Holden Beach has been around 92 degrees with a heat index of over 100 degrees. Combine that with the humidity and it feels like you are living in a sauna. It has been so hot that my family go to the beach between 9am and 12pm.
If you are headed this way, please make sure you bring some really strong WATERPROOF sunblock because as much as you will sweat, you will need it. Also, please remember to bring some hats for the kids as well. Don't forget to bring a cooler and a large strong umbrella to block those hot summer rays. Sometimes those summer SW winds get pretty strong and can be a pain. One important thing to remember…if it is cloudy you still need to wear your sunblock. I have been burnt pretty bad on those cloudy days.
We will begin booking for Fall weekends on August 21, 2010. If you are looking to get away just for a few days, please give us a call and get a great rate on an oceanfront home! Our number is 910-842-6061 or 800-720-2200.

I'm taking the day off from the harbor and we are headed out to see the sites. I think we are headed to Whitstable. I think today's adventure will be letting someone else drive. This means that they will have to get used driving on the right side of the car with the stick shift in the left hand. Luckily the clutch, brake and gas pedal are in the same order. Then there is the driving on the other side of the road and the roundabouts. I think that I'm getting stressed out already 🙂 (Perhaps they will be better than I am and not hit the side mirrors of the car. In all fairness to me though, it was just a little love tap and my insurance is still thoroughly intact.)
Whitstable is supposed to be a very quaint town that is known for oysters. Apparently oysters are known for their aphrodisiac qualities. There is some hope for Jane yet 🙂 (She'll kill me for this later, but I know her family is reading this and know what I'm talking about! I'm thinking she'll have plenty of time for payback when I'm in the water. )
I'll be calling Reg again tonight for another weather and swim check. Post more on this later.Tags: English Channel, English Channel Swim, English Channel waiting

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Barbs, another Nicki Minaj foe is biting the dust, and considering his longtime gripe with the Young Money raptress, this one's especially worth a listen: Funkmaster Flex.
Hopping on Instagram Live, the Hot 97 DJ admitted that he's giving Nicki's two new singles ("Chun-Li" and "Barbie Tingz") a thumbs up, a sharply contrasting statement to the one he made only one week ago.
"Nicki's two new songs, I think it's good music," he said. "I think she proved me wrong with me saying that she was trash. I think that she's making good music."
His favorite of the newly-released duo is Nicki's aggressive, alter ego-driven "Chun-Li" single. It took some time to grow on him, he said, but not too long. Between the first time he'd heard the tracks on his phone up until he made it to work that day, he'd already approved them as certified fire.
As for Cardi B, who he's also now switching up positions on, it appears as though he's no longer supporting her rumored ghostwriting facilities.
"And Cardi's consistently getting somebody else to write her sh**," he said in another video. "You know I was going to f**king go there! I can't stand rappers who don't write their own shit!"
He also added a word about fight-or-flight, condemning artists who shut off their Instagram comments when it all hits the fan and presumably when they're secret pen masters are exposed. He'll definitely be hearing from the Bardi Gang about this one.
In the meantime, what do you say Barbs—truce?
See his updated thoughts on the two femcees below.

From the Franchisee
Keeping it local is a good way to describe what is important to me about BIGFISH Manchester; providing a reliable, quality service to local people and businesses, one they can depend upon. The local focus continues into BIGFISH toner cartridges too; they are totally remanufactured and not imported. I take my responsibility as owner of this local operation very seriously and because of this, customers can rest assured they will be dealing with someone who honestly cares and who understands the needs of a business.
"I have personally dealt with Big Fish for over 5 Years and whilst I have worked at Heywood Community over the last 18 months, I had no problem with changing the supplier to Big Fish. The service is very good and should you experience any problems, they are always sorted immediately. The prices are very competitive and therefore they make a one stop good value, good quality service."
Colin Devereux,Heywood Community High School
"We have been dealing with Big Fish for sometime now and have had no problems at all. We receive toners and cartridges quickly when we call and have always had a great service when we call engineers out for our printers when they need fixing. Overall the service and customer service are brilliant and I would recommend them to anyone."
Michelle Seddon, M-Tech Data Limited
"Just a quick email to say that we are very happy with the service we receive from Big Fish. I tried several companies before finding the best. The computer suppliers try to persuade me every week that recycled toners etc are not very good quality and do not last as long as the originals. They can baffle me with science but I still know a good product and service when I see one. Also it's quite important to me to keep business local, after a short phone call the cartridges are usually collected that day or the day after. Bill knows what he is talking about and when he collects and delivers we can ask him any questions we might have or advice we might need. He always has the answers. He also keeps us up-to-date with new products and is very enthusiastic.
All in all very happy!!!!!!"
Bev, MURRELECTRONIK
"Big Fish provide outstanding value for money, fast free delivery with 99% of orders arriving the next day, excellent levels of customer service and reliable cartridges. We would definitely recommend Big Fish."

Stars, veterans turn out for 'Beyond All Boundaries' debut
By Matt Grills – The American Legion – November 9, 2009
The National World War II Museum opened three new attractions Friday during a weekend celebration that included Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, Mickey Rooney, former Sen. George McGovern, and hundreds of World War II veterans and their families.
The latest phase in the museum's ongoing $300-million expansion, the Solomon Victory Theater complex, is the exclusive home of "Beyond All Boundaries," a multisensory, 4-D cinematic experience that immerses viewers in the story of World War II.
Next door, the Stage Door Canteen offers a taste of 1940s culture and music with another original show, "Let Freedom Swing!" And at The American Sector restaurant, managed by Gulf War Marine Corps veteran and award-winning chef John Besh, visitors can enjoy a menu inspired by the era's cuisine.
Together, the venues are the biggest cultural addition to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005.
"This museum is a leader in the economic resurgence of the city and bringing tourists back," said Dr. Gordon H. "Nick" Mueller, president and CEO of the National World War II Museum. "We already know that over the next year or two our attendance is going to double. Of the people from out of town, half come just to see this museum, and that's before we opened this new expansion. We think the economic impact of this museum is going to be enormous."
Nearly 4,000 people attended Friday's "Experience the Victory!" dedication and grand opening, which began with a procession of 350 World War II veterans and more than 100 active-duty military personnel. NBC newsman Tom Brokaw served as master of ceremonies.
Reflecting on his trip to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day in 1984, Brokaw said he'd thought then, "My God, these are the people who gave us the life we have today." He called his best-selling book, "The Greatest Generation," the "greatest professional accomplishment of my life."
Mueller presented a choked-up Mickey Rooney, 89, with the National World War II Museum's Silver Service Medallion. "We were not just USO," the legendary entertainer and veteran told the crowd. "We were proud to be United States soldiers."
Other speakers included former California Gov. Pete Wilson, chairman of the National World War II Museum's capital campaign; Stephenie Ambrose Tubbs, daughter of the late historian and biography author Stephen Ambrose; Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.; Louisiana Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu; former Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco; New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin; and actress Patricia Clarkson.
Blanco hailed the museum's growth as "a reminder that we can survive great suffering," and a victory for "a weary people who have labored long and hard to restore South Louisiana."
After the ceremony, celebrities such as Hanks, Ron Livingston of the acclaimed "Band of Brothers" miniseries and Bill Sadler of HBO's "The Pacific" served lunch to veterans and servicemembers at a Feed the Troops event. Then, guests lined up for a special screening of "Beyond All Boundaries."
Narrated and produced by Hanks, the show goes far beyond a movie in drawing the audience into the war. The guard tower of a concentration camp, an anti-aircraft gun and a vintage radio blaring the news of Pearl Harbor rise from a pit in front of the 120-foot screen. Environmental effects such as steam and snow also put viewers in the battle, as bullets streak by and tanks rumble past in surround sound.
"It fills up the room," Hanks said. "Phil (Hettema, creative director), Nick (Mueller) and everybody were talking about (creating) a one-of-a-kind experience that would envelop you and engage all of your senses. I think it works substantially well and is even bigger than what was promised."
Leaving the theater, the men who fought the war, who actually lived "Beyond All Boundaries," praised the show.
"I've never seen something so realistic in my life," said Richard Horton of Goodrich, Mich., a World War II Army veteran who served as a tank driver with the 14th Armored Division 47th Tank Battalion. "Everything in this film happened. There's no fooling around here, no actors. Every kid in the country ought to see this."
Robert Frost of Covington, La., served on the submarine USS Rock (SS 274) during the war.
"The show expresses how we got into the war and why," said Frost, a member of American Legion Post 185 in Slidell, La. "It was almost real. They've done a very good job. It's good for posterity."
When the original D-Day Museum opened in 2000, 6 million World War II veterans were living, Mueller said. Today, about 2 million remain."We're in an urgent race against time to complete the rest of this campus while we have some of them still with us," he said. Construction will begin next year on the museum's Campaigns Pavilion, which will record the land, sea and air battle s of every branch of the U.S. military during World War II.

30 November 2009
The 2009 edition of Freeing the Grid is a policy guide that grades states on their net metering and interconnection practices, which empower customers to use renewable energy to meet their power demands. This third edition finds that policies still vary widely, but that most states have made significant strides in adopting best practices which encourage market growth of renewable energy and job creation.
"Understanding these policies is critical because each provision in a state's rules for net metering and interconnection has the potential to be a powerful incentive or a poison pill for the growth of renewables in that state," explains Kyle Rabin of the Network for New Energy Choices (NNEC). This version collaborated with Vote Solar, Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), Solar Alliance and the North Carolina Solar Center.
In 2007, five states received a A on net metering, 8 received a B, 12 C, 6 D, 8 F and 12 received no grade. In 2009, there were 11 As, 16 B, 8 C, 6 D, 3 F and only 7 with no grade for net metering. While 27 states received a A or B grade for net metering standards (vs 13 in 2007), the report notes that 8 states (Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas) still do not have statewide net metering programmes.
For interconnection in 2007, there were no A grades, 1 B, 9 C, 8 D, 15 F and 18 no grade. In 2009, the report gives one A, 14 B, 6 C, 6 D, 14 F and 10 no grade for interconnection. In total, 15 states received a grade of A or B for their interconnection standards, "a significant improvement from only one state in 2007", it notes. Virginia is the first and only state to receive an A for excellent interconnection rules.
The report also explores new and evolving state policies, such as third-party Power Purchase Agreements, community net metering and feed-in tariff incentive structures, which are designed to meet the changing needs of energy customers and the renewable energy market in the USA.
"Looking at how many of these states have moved from lackluster to stellar grades in just three years, it's clear that there is a growing understanding of the benefits that these policies deliver," says Adam Browning of Vote Solar. "Although we still have much room for improvement, this country is moving quickly toward a place where these once-obscure concepts - good net metering and interconnection standards - are becoming accepted best practices for supporting customer investment in renewable energy."
"Along with incentives and fair utility rate structures, these two policies form the backbone of our nation's rooftop solar energy markets and the local jobs they create," adds Jane Weissman of IREC. "If unnecessary hurdles are removed and customers are fairly compensated for delivering clean electricity to the grid, US homes and businesses can and do go solar."
An effective net metering programme allows system size limits to cover large commercial and industrial customers' loads and do not arbitrarily limit net metering as a percent of a utility's peak demand, the report explains. It allows monthly carryover of excess electricity at the utility's full retail rate and specifies that customer-sited generators retain all renewable energy credits for energy they produce.
Effective interconnection standards set fair fees that are proportional to a project's size and cover all generators in order to close any state-federal jurisdictional gaps in standards. They screen applications by degree of complexity and adopt plug-and-play rules for residential-scale systems, ensure that policies are transparent and uniform, and prohibit requirements for extraneous devices.
