State overcharged for license plates, tapped other funds to cover expenses
Special license plates that the state DMV issued, renewed or transferred in 2011-12
Sacramento The California Department of Motor Vehicles overcharged by $6.3 million for its costs in handling personalized license plates, a new state audit has found.
The plates, which allow people to spell out their own messages, can cost motorists $49, plus $38 a year to renew, and the money is supposed to help the environment. The state can dip into the environmental fund to cover its costs, but the Bureau of State Audits found that they were not all justified.
DMV officials are responsible for collecting fees for personalized plates, plus a range of special-interest plates for Lake Tahoe, Yosemite Valley and other causes. The plates feature icons such as palm trees, a hand print, a firefighter or a whale tail.
The state is supposed to deposit the money in accounts for special use, such as the environmental fund for personalized plates, or an arts fund for the plates with palm trees and a sunset. Proceeds go to efforts such as maintaining beaches and public coastal education programs, benefiting county veterans offices or firefighter support.
Auditors reviewed four of the agencies — the California Emergency Management Agency, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the ScholarShare Investment Board. Those agencies used revenue from the Antiterrorism Fund and the California Memorial Scholarship Fund.
In addition to overcharging for personalized plates, the state undercharged other funds by $1.1 million 2009-10 through 2011-12, the audit found.
Some funds were not spent as promised, the audit found, such as portions of the anti-terrorism fund. The state's emergency management agency used some to cover an employee's leave pay.
Food and Agriculture spent $896,000 on employee compensation, software costs, building leases and contract payments.
"Both Cal EMA and Food and Agriculture used money from the antiterrorism fund to pay the entire salaries of certain employees whose duties include activities related to both natural and man made disasters," the audit says. "However, neither state agency could provide signed time reports or other documents to support that the employees worked exclusively on activities to mitigate terrorist acts."
Parks and recreation and natural resources also could not provide full documentation of their spending of license-plate revenue on promised programs.
Natural resources paid for an executive salary entirely from the environmental fund even though the executive's activities benefited other programs, the audit says.
The audit also found that the state lost out on $22 million in revenue over two years by failing to collect fees allowed by law for special license plates, according to the audit.
For example, the law specifies a fee of $99 for a personalized Olympic Training License Plate, but the DMV application shows an initial issuance fee of $50.
The DMV also failed to collect $12 million in retention fees from motorists who kept their commemorative plate but did not use it on their vehicle, the audit found.
"This report concludes that the state has not collected all revenue due from special plates and has spent some of the special plate revenue on expenditures that were unallowable or unsupported," Auditor Elaine Howell wrote in a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown and state lawmakers.

Thank you so much chankaieng!
Love the concept but perhaps the text should be on the mug too, without the text, the message is not as clear.
Good point Sron Aw, and I agree. But I tried and it was tricky to get the positioning right for the mug. But I could try again, thank you ;)
I love this! I agree that finding a way to put the text on the mug would help convey the overall message, but honestly I'm okay without the text. It's a lovely design.
Thx again Kristin! I should give it another try on the mug :)
Love it!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Happy to hear that :)
Really awesome design. promoted
super nice doodle :)
excellent item ;)

MISSION MATTERS: What Do You Stand For?
Their passion for service and their commitment to God's work remind us today that many good people are caught up in unrest, political and otherwise. This last summer saw the beginnings of many violent, and some not so violent, changes in governments, with dictators deposed. Most of us would see this as a good thing, but we should also remember that, like these 11 Jesuits, many people make the choice to stand and serve, though it may cause them to suffer the ultimate sacrifice.
All of these people can challenge each of us to examine our lives, asking ourselves the hard questions: What do I stand for? What is of ultimate importance for me? What value or desire guides my life? What do I stand for? Who do I serve?
St. Ignatius, by his life and his spiritual tradition, was very clear with his answers to those and any number of other similar questions. He continually challenges us to examine our own lives to find where our passions lie or for what cause do we live.
God has shown us through the example of Christ, that it is what we are willing to die for that gives life meaning and answers the hard questions. Our SLU mission directs us to our own answers, and gives us direction and guidance.
The 11 Spanish Jesuits stood and served humanity, something we're asked to do, as well.

Part of the reason there has never been a big movie, is that Terry has been reluctant to sell the rights to Hollywood. Rumour has it that there was one a plan to make Mort into a movie, but the producer was talking about getting rid of Death . . .
Since then Terry has been very selective about who would make a movie and make a faithful adaptation. There was talk of Terry Gilliam doing one for a long time, but it never happened.
Terry revealed in Brighton the other week, his own production company, Narrativia, are well into drafting the first scripts for the Watch series. Also 'Good Omens' (which I think Tony was alluding to) and 'Dodger' are also in the pipeline.

Dog Art
posted on Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:03:00 +0000
The logo for Hush Puppies prominently and proudly features a Basset Hound, whose real name, if you have been following his adventures, is Jason. Basset hounds are often referred to as "hush puppies" for that reason. Our "spokes basset" is beloved around the world and reinforces the fun,optimism of the Hush Puppies brand.
When Hush Puppies celebrated its fiftieth year, an international Dog Art contest was launched. Contestants submitted their artistic interpretations of our beloved Jason. 95 entries were submitted including 25 pieces from children at an art school in the Philippines. Here are a few examples of our cherished Jason, with the quotes from the artists that created them.
Alejandro Lopez, artist, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Un perro con angel (a dog with angel)
"painting by the traditions of my people, utilizing human shapes and using bright colors"
the artist describes his painting as a moment of relaxation,
"peaceful and quiet, surrounded by the color and folklore of my country."
|Melih Kesmen, Witten, Germany.
Animal Painting
|Carlos Carrasco, art director and artist from Santiago, Chile.
70s Dog
"Hush Puppies dog has always been brown,
I wanted to change that and put some color on it."
Samuel Carlos, 7 years old art student. Quezon City, Philippines.
The Wizzard Dog
|Vanessa Sosiak, graphic artists, Ontario, Canada.
Winter Wonderland Escape
Inspired by "Montreal's winter and city nights," for this piece.
The images are fun and inspiring. All dog art is currently being displayed at our headquarters in Rockford Michigan.

NICEVILLE — The challenge of healthy eating turned competitive Friday morning for more than a dozen Okaloosa County students.
For three hours the students prepped, shared and discussed their take on a healthy salad during the second annual Future Chefs Competition.
"Only one judge has tasted it, but he gave me a thumbs up, so I'm in the clear from him," third-grader Jace Barefield said about an hour into the event.
The 9-year-old was one of 14 third-, fourth- and fifth-graders who opted to show off their culinary creations on the first day of spring break.
Each student submitted a salad recipe to representatives of Sodexo, the food services provider for the Okaloosa County School District, prior to the event, according to Larry Haile, Sodexo's general manager.
Sodexo received more than 50 recipes and invited 20 students to participate. However, a few had scheduling conflicts and couldn't attend, Haile said.
Last year, nine students competed to make a kid-friendly but nutritious breakfast. Haile said the creativity shown with the salads was just as impressive.
For example, Bluewater Elementary student Libby Clifton decided to create a "salad incognito" meal.
"I thought that some people might not like salad, so I thought I would do something to disguise it," the fourth-grader said with a smile.
Her costumed meal — a taco salad on a stick — featured the traditional fixings of a taco salad wrapped up in a tortilla that was stuck on a stick with cheese cubes and tomatoes.
"People think it looks very intriguing," Libby said. "And it's delicious and it's nutritious."
While Libby and Jace hoped to win, 9-year-old Anajah Madden just wanted to participate.
"I'm just here to have fun," the Kenwood Elementary fourth-grader said. "That's actually the only reason I'm here."
Her salad — which featured a mix of sauerkraut, red onions, carrots celery and bell peppers — was even fun make. She and her sister spent an entire Saturday afternoon perfecting the final product, Anajah said.
The journey to the competition was equally fun for Lexi Meeks, a third-grader at Walker Elementary.
With her mom's help, she searched the Internet for salad recipes until she found one that was just right: fruity pasta salad.
"The name sounded really cool, so me and my mom thought we would make it," Lexi said.
They changed the dressing recipe slightly, but Lexi said she was proud of the final result.
Her approach clearly worked, as a panel of judges awarded her first place. She and her fruity pasta salad will advance to a regional competition next month.
Madeline Castro from Florosa Elementary came in second and Jace took third.

Mississippi State head football coach Dan Mullen announced Friday Geoff Collins has been promoted to defensive coordinator.
"Geoff is an exceptional defensive mind and his energy and passion are remarkable," Mullen said in a release. "His experience as a play-caller and previous experience as a defensive coordinator will make this an easy transition."
Collins will take over for Chris Wilson, who is expected to take the defensive line coaching position at the University of Georgia as reported by ESPN.com. The news on Wilson broke late Friday night.
Collins was hired in 2011 as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Wilson served as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach for the past two seasons when Manny Diaz departed for Texas.
Before that, he served a year as the co-defensive coordinator.
Wilson called the defensive plays when Diaz left in 2011, but in the Tuesday's TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl, Mullen decided to let Collins call the plays.
"We had struggled against some spread teams and some up-tempo teams in the past, so I wanted to try something different," Mullen said after the Gator Bowl. "(I wanted to) give Geoff the opportunity to call the game and also communication wise. There's a lot that has to go into rotating the defensive line in and out of the game."
The Bulldogs lost to No. 21 (Associated Press) Northwestern 34-20 in Jacksonville, Fla.
Cornerbacks coach Melvin Smith was usually in charge of substitutions, but he left to take a similar job at Auburn and was not in attendance at the bowl game.
The decision to let Collins call the plays was decided the day MSU arrived in Jacksonville.
"It came up the day we got here," Collins said. "I think it had to do with, you know, Melvin was in charge of substitutions most of the time and we do a lot of substituting with the defensive line. (Mullen) was just letting me call it and (let) Chris handle the defensive line substitutions. For the most part, it was good."
MSU gave up 357 yards to the Wildcats. The Bulldogs only allowed 196 passing yards, while giving up 161 on the ground.
"I think overall the defense played well," Mullen said.
Taking over the play calling duties for Collins was something he saw as an opportunity. Being a part of the MSU coaching staff is something Collins is proud of.
"I'm just happy to be a part of the Mississippi State football program," Collins said. "I love Chris, I love Tony Hughes and I love Dan Mullen. I'm just happy to be here."
Before arriving at Mississippi State, Collins spent the 2010 season as the defensive coordinator of Florida International. There were talks in early bowl practices of his name being in connection with the head-coaching job open at FIU.
With the Panthers, Collins' defense led the Sun Belt in total defense, scoring defense, pass efficiency defense and turnover margin.

In rural Thailand, the buffalo is revered by farmers and symbolizes work, patience, strength, and loyalty. In the big cities of Thailand, the word "Buffalo" has taken on another meaning - a derogatory way of describing someone from the provinces; someone who works hard but doesn't think or talk much. This is the story of two young girls, Stam and Pet, to whom both definitions apply.

First drive: Ford Focus ST Mountune
Our hot hatch of the year gets a 24bhp and 30lb ft boost for £1275. Is it worth it?
Posted: 09 Sep 2013
What's this, then?
A Focus ST saloon or estate with a special £1275 Mountune pack that increases the turbo'd four cylinder's power from 247bhp to 271bhp and 265lb ft to 295lb ft. Because it's been given the nod by blue oval bosses, you keep your original warranty, too.
Huh. So what does that £1275 include?
There's a bigger intercooler, what Ford calls 'unique engine calibration' (a custom ECU map), high-flow air filter and snazzy cast powder-coated alloy housing (it's £1225 if you get a silver one). Oh, and a little yellow badge on the boot.
You liked the Focus ST estate, didn't you?
Yes we did. Top Gear magazine crowned it 2012's Hot Hatch of the Year, then drove it around Russia for a bit.
So, has Mountune ruined it?
Quite the opposite. We're going to have to wait for a while for the unhinged RS - but in the meantime this is the fastest new Focus you can buy. And it's not fast in a constantly insane, exhausting sort of way - like the normal ST, there are two very different, very good cars conjoined in the Mountune wagon.
Conjoined, eh? Continue...
There's the estate car. The justice of the peace. It's inconspicuous. It rides impeccably. It'll reconcile with wives and the real world, happily swallowing shopping (it keeps the normal car's 476-litre boot capacity), offspring, and at 39.2mpg, (the same as the ST) not too much petrol.
Then there's the Mountune. The reckless brother that'll get from 0-62mph in less than six seconds (faster than a Ferrari 308 GTB, fact fans) and top out at 154mph. This guy's only ever a down-shift away.
But surely that extra power's made it torque steer more?
Well, yes. The 30lb ft boost and absence of any clever RevoKnuckle tech means torque steer is a bit more aggressive, especially lower down the rev range. But the compensating virtue is that you're not waiting till the engine's battering against the limiter for it to feel properly fast. In the original car there's a slight pause before you spin into the power band, but this builds progressively right from the get-go.
Has the extra pace made it wobblier through the corners too?
Because the spring rate and damper settings are sympathetic to daily driving - and, refreshingly, there aren't any stiffening Sport buttons you can't resist pressing - it does still pitch and roll mid-corner. But you can still exploit the power, which gives it a playful character compared with stiffer, more focused stuff like the Megane RS 265 or Vauxhall Astra GTC VXR. Despite the 26kg weight penalty, there's no discernable handling differences between the estate and hatch, either.
Any downsides?
There's nothing specifically bad about the Mountune, though induction noise is a little more voluminous. It'd could be tedious if you're not into that sort of thing, but chances are, because you're reading this, you probably wouldn't mind. There are some frustrations with the Focus family in general though. The infotainment screen is tiny, there are too many buttons, and the controls are illogical.
So, should I buy one?
Live with an ST estate first, then decide if you need more power. The Mountune kit doesn't change the fundamental rightness of the standard car - we doubt Ford would have agreed to keep the warranty in tact if it did - but there is, quite simply, more of everything. And we mean that in the best possible way.

Hello all, here's one more ID project for you all if you are able to help me.
Found these figures from when I was younger and was trying to figure out what they are and who made them. They are about 2 inches tall, and they came in packs of 3. To the best of my knowledge, they were all modern military era figures. Each figure had a hole in their back (yes, a hole) and each came with a weapon that had a large bulge on the side of it that just happened to fit in the hole (I guess to simulate a weapon strapping onto the back).
The only markings I have are "China 10" on one and "China 12" on the other in the buttocks/groin area. I think I picked these up in the early 90s at a Kmart or a Venture store.
I have a picture of them at flickr[dot]com/photos/30969561@N08/2894550163/ (sorry, it won't let me post links)
Thanks so much!

When it comes to assembling a host of go-fast engine parts, pushrods are rarely thought of as being anything more than a simple link between the cam and the valves-that is, until one of them breaks or you're putting a new combination together and you find that your stock pushrods won't work anymore. Why wouldn't they work, you might ask then?
There are many factors that determine whether or not a pushrod will fit and operate correctly. Unfortunately, there's little information out there showing you how to determine if yours are correct. We wanted to know what was involved in properly measuring for new pushrods and then see if those measurements would translate correctly into a real, working engine. To find out how to measure pushrods we called Lunati Cams, and they supplied their Pushrod Length Checker, which is a practically foolproof way to determine the proper length. Then, to see how accurate our measurements were we used a Rocker Arm Geometry Checker from Ferry's Aluminum Cylinder Head Repair to see if the proper length pushrods put the rocker arms in contact with the right spot on the valves.
Vital MeasurementsStock engines are easy to order new pushrods for. Just tell the cam company what type of cam you're running (i.e. hydraulic roller, flat-tappet, etc.) and what diameter you'll need to fit your guideplates (i.e. 5/16, 3/8, or the big 7/16). But what about engine blocks that have been decked or heads that have been milled? Machine operations like those can require custom-length pushrods, and there's really no way to know exactly how long they'll need to be without a trial assembly first.
That's where Lunati's kit comes in. The parts included with the tool are: an adjustable length pushrod (two different lengths for big-blocks), a modified roller rocker that's missing the trunion bearing assembly but has a regular roller tip, and a long poly-lock nut without the locking set-screw. Instructions included with the kit tell you to first put the cam lobe of the valve you're checking on its base circle as if you were going to set the valve lash. Insert the adjustable pushrod with its end turned most of the way down to clear the rocker arm. Then, screw the modified rocker arm on by hand until all clearance between the valve and roller tip is taken up. It might help to use some light lube on the rocker nut and adjustable pushrod tip to free things up.
Then, simply turn the pushrod until the tip contacts the rocker arm cup and creates a tight assembly. You'll know just by the feel of things when you've got all the slack removed. Then, secure the pushrod's adjustable lock nut finger tight before removing it. It might be necessary to remove the pushrod guideplates when you perform this check. If you do, make sure to keep the rocker arm tip centered on the valve. It's then a simple matter to measure the adjustable pushrod with a large dial caliper or machinist's rule to determine your new length.
Checking ThingsHow will you know if the new pushrod length you just came up with is ideal? Even though the Lunati tool is utterly foolproof, there's always room for human error. That's where the guys at Ferry's Aluminum Cylinder Head Repair can help out. They make a tool to check roller tip placement with any length pushrod. The tool works by measuring the roller tip placement relative to the valve stem tip, and a little math tells you if you've got it right. Centering the roller tip on the valve when the cam is at mid-lift is the best way to ensure longevity and increase horsepower, as well.
The increase in longevity comes from a decrease in side-loading of the valves that happens when the roller tips are too far off center. The horsepower increase comes from the reduced frictional losses from having the tip off center also. Ferry's testing has shown that it can take several foot-pounds more torque to turn the engine over by hand when the rocker tips are off center. Consider measuring for new pushrods an integral part of building a performance engine. After all, you wouldn't assemble an engine without checking bearing clearances or degreeing the cam, would you? This is just one more step towards perfection, and it's an easy step at that.

Twenty three people made the difference in regard to the ballot initiative! That is not a lot, but in a democracy, that's enough! Twenty eight people could have voted to deprive patients of their medicine, hard working people of their jobs, and business owners of their livelihood.

One thing you have to remember about the Corvette: It almost didn't survive its initial ('53-'55) years. In fact, an interdivisional memo written by Zora Arkus-Duntov in October 1954 helped convince Chevy's upper management to keep Corvette going beyond 1955. In that memo, he chided Chevy for considering dropping Corvette while arch-rival Ford's two-seat Thunderbird was still in production. "If Ford makes success where we failed, it may hurt . . . We will leave an opening in which they can hit at will. 'Ford out-engineered, outsold, or ran Chevrolet's pride and joy off the market.' Maybe the idea is far-fetched. I can only gauge in terms of my own reactions or actions. In the bare-fisted fight we're in now, I would hit at any opening I could find and the situation where Ford enters and where Chevrolet retreats, it is not an opening, it is a hole!"
Zora continued, "Now if they can hurt us, then we can hurt them! We are one year ahead, and we possibly learned some lessons which Ford has yet to learn." He called for " . . . a subdivision, section, department, or what not, but an organization no matter how small but which is directly responsible for the successes of operation is necessary. An organization which will eat and sleep Corvette as our divisions are eating and sleeping their particular cars. I am convinced that a group with concentrated objective will not only stand a chance to achieve the desired result, but devise ways and means to make the operation profitable in a direct business sense."
But, what if The General gave Chevrolet the same kind of research, development, design, engineering, and tooling funds that they gave the Bowtie division to make the V-8 engine a production piece and radically redesign the steel-bodied Chevy that it would go into? (The General put $300 million-in 1955 dollars-into the V-8 and '55 Chevy redesign programs.)
That's the way John Loeper approached the conversion of his '54 Corvette into the Vette Rod seen here. "What I wanted to do, when I built the car, is what Harley Earl and Zora Arkus-Duntov would have done if they'd unleashed the checkbook in 1954," he says, also referring to the legendary GM Styling boss who'd been behind the Corvette's creation as a "dream car" for the '53 GM Motorama. "In 1955, the V-8 was available, but they had it in 1954. Disc brakes were available, because Harley Earl had seen them on European cars. Independent suspension was available . . . All that stuff was out there then. So, I decided to build it to where they might have built it if they unleashed the checkbook."
John had the ideal car to start with: A well-used original '54, which he'd bought for $800 back in 1959, and had put several hundred thousand miles on. As he puts it, "The valves were hanging out, the original brakes were a problem, and cosmetically the car looked pretty shabby." It was on its second six-cylinder engine, the original lasting until about 1976, when he swapped in a later 235-inch six-banger.
A chance meeting with Carlisle Events' Lance Miller at a party in Ocean City, New Jersey (where John owns and operates the Northwood Inn) got him interested in the Corvette hobby in a much bigger way than he'd known it. "We got to talking about Corvettes, and he said, 'Have you ever been to Carlisle?' I'd never known about it," recalls John. "He said, 'Come to Carlisle.' So, I went there that first year, and I looked at all the restored cars, and I got prices for all the stuff that I'd need to restore mine. I started looking at the cost of restoration versus the cost of just a rebuild the way that I wanted to do it." John says when he did the math, the dollar value said "rebuild it." Besides, he figured, there were enough beautifully restored '54 Vettes already.

For 15 months, The Fairway Restaurant — a small white box-of-a-building connected to the Poxabogue Golf Course in Sagaponack — sat empty. After 22 years in operation, not a single side of scrambled eggs was served up. Not a single customer entered its doors. But it wasn't because no one wanted to go.
Quite the contrary.
"We missed it terribly," said Sag Harbor resident Joan Carlson.
For the past 20 years, Carlson and a group of nearly a dozen other women have met at Poxabogue on Tuesday mornings. They call themselves "The Tuesday Thinkers." It's a name which they said actually generates snickers from certain husbands who wonder what they do the other six days out of the week, but they don't mind.
When restaurant owner Dan Murray was forced to shut his doors on March 30, 2010 because a lease agreement failed to be reached with the building's manager, Ed Wankel, a large crop of loyal customers — including The Tuesday Thinkers — were forced to go elsewhere.
"We were like orphans caught in a storm!" Carlson continued.
That is, they were until this summer. After Southampton Town took-over the building's management, Dan Murray very quickly entered into a new license agreement with the town. And after fully refurbishing the building's interior, he reopened the restaurant — just like it was before.
"The first day we opened, the second customer we had walked in and said: Nothing's different!" Murray recalled. "At first I got very upset" — Murray labored for weeks with contractors and suppliers to rebuild the restaurant after having gutted the place in the spring — "But then I said, 'Wait a minute, that's exactly what you wanted.'"
And after a frantic summer season, during which Murray said he and his crew (largely the same as it was before Fairway closed) worked through many of the kinks inherent in getting a business up and running, everything at Poxabogue is finally business as usual.
Though Murray said at one point he had considered changing the menu, and even considered revamping the interior design, he realized that snazzy aesthetics and innovative cuisine are not what keep customers coming back for more.
"I just think, especially with everything that we went through, people wanted their place back," Murray continued. "And the best way to give it back to them is to give it to them the way it was."
For Niki Yektai, that meant restoring unusually low countertops. In fact, Murray insisted on keeping the pint-sized countertops, even though mid-sized stools are hard to come by; Murray ended up shipping his in from Tennessee.
"They're the perfect height," Yektai exclaimed. In fact, she said she and her family are so smitten with them her husband designed the counters in her son's studio with Poxabogue in mind.
Of course, she added, counters aren't everything. Yektai prefers the Poxabogue crowd, which she called a "lovely mix of farmers and city people; I'm very comfortable there."
And it doesn't hurt that she isn't barred from spreading out her personal papers while she sips her morning coffee.
"I'm a really bad customer because I will definitely bring my whole desk with me," she admitted. "I'll do some bills, then I'll do some writing, or an illustration."
Yektai, a children's book author, even authored one of her books, "Bears At The Beach," atop the surface of that unusually low countertop.
An atypical allowance for most Hamptons eateries, Yektai is in good company at Poxabogue.
Across the room from The Tuesday Thinkers earlier this week sat artist Leif Hope with a stack of sketches and a pencil in hand. As he flipped through the pages of caricatures he had drawn, he pointed to several that had been sketched at a table within the small restaurant.
"I've done a lot of drawings here," Hope said. And with a coy nod, he motioned to the man sitting across from him: "Most of them were while I was waiting for him."
Bernie Goldhirsch cracked a subdued grin. Goldhirsch and Hope have been coming to Poxabogue on a regular basis for several years. They are such regulars they give a friendly wave to nearly every customer that walks by in the span of a 20-minute conversation. In fact, it was Goldhirsch who formed a petition to bring the old Poxabogue restaurant back when it closed last spring. He said he got more than 500 signatures.
"In a community where a lot of the eateries are also snobberies, you need a place like Poxabogue," he said. "Years ago, I realized [The Hamptons] is a place that's filled with celebrities who don't want to be known as celebrities. Whatever that need is, Poxabogue seems to be part of it. Every town needs an 'Eddy's Luncheonette.'"
Just last March, Murray signed a 10-year lease with the town of Southampton.
"So we'll be here for at least another 10 years," he said. "If not more."

Perfect size. I have the convenience of a crossbody bag and plenty of space to carry all I need. The organization in the bag is a plus. As always, top quality leather from Sak!

That I've read through a decent part of a Discworld novel nearly every night for around three years. Having read them on and off for a fair time before that.
I simply do not get bored of them and for the first time in my life, having been a heavy reader for all of it, I have books that look a bit manky.
Operating under the previous assumption that people just didn't look after books it pains me my The fifth elephant, Jingo, Pyramids and Thief of time copies are falling apart.
Especially The fifth elephant, which I must have read over a dozen times easily .
It really amazes me that even now, on the last read through that I noticed another bit of wit and pun that had been jammed in. Unnoticed in a double digits worth of previous readings.
Just wanted to say hello, and thanks for my favourite series of all time.
Their re-readability is remarkable.
