Ortley Beach homeowners were given their first chance to view property damage sustained during Hurricane Sandy.
Buses transported residents with property between Route 35 North and Route 35 South to the devastated section of Toms River on Wednesday morning.
Residents who still had home--several had floated off their foundations during the storm--found flood damage, mold and debris waiting for them.

This is the promised follow-up to my 11/21 post about year-end tax planning in 2012.
As you may remember, I mentioned that this may be the year to go against the conventional tax planning strategy of deferring income into the following tax year and accelerating deductible expenditures. If you anticipate being in a higher tax bracket next year here are the next 3 of my "Sweet 16" list of tax strategies for 2012.
14. Clear "floor" for miscellaneous expenses. Miscellaneous itemized deductions must exceed 2% of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income before they are deductible on Schedule A. These expenses include, but are not limited to, unreimbursed employee business expenses and production-of-income expenditures. If you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in 2013 you may want to delay these expenses if you regularly exceed the 2%-of-AGI floor. Alternative minimum tax may be issue for some taxpayers.
15. Move back your moving expenses. An employee can deduct job-related moving expenses in the year the expenses are paid. If one controls the timing of the move, the taxpayer may want to delay the move until January of 2013.
16. Study up on education tax breaks. Parents may be able to claim one of two tax credits for higher-education expenses paid or incurred in 2012. The tax benefits phase out for high-income taxpayers. The amount of the tax credit on one of the two tax credits will be decreasing in 2013 therefore you may want to pay tuition in 2012 versus 2013 if possible.
Well, this is the last of the "Sweet 16". Please remember, that it is always advisable that before any tax decisions or transactions are considered, that one should consult with their CPA or tax advisor.
My next post will talk about ways to cope with the new Medicare surtax of 3.8% which will be imposed in 2013 as part of the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"(PPACA), aka Obamacare. Keep watching!

A resolution over health coverage expenses state auditors decided that former New Albany Mayor Doug England owed the city hasn't been reached.
A State Board of Accounts audit published in March stated that England should compensate the city for about $8,500 in health benefits that were supplied to municipal workers during his administration in 2011.
About $3,300 of the sum was tied to health coverage England approved for retiring, non-union employees who had at least 10 years of employment with the city.
England was one of three New Albany employees who accepted the coverage in 2011. England signed an executive order that year that OK'd the coverage, though the policy was vetoed by Mayor Jeff Gahan in 2012.
Former New Albany firefighter Nicholas Shavers also received $5,200 in insurance benefits after being fired by the city, as he was covered under the municipal plan for three more months after being let go in August of 2011.
Bryan Corbin, a spokesman with the Indiana Attorney General's office, said Monday the issue is still under review.
"The attorney general's office does not determine audit amounts to be repaid but rather seeks to obtain repayment on behalf of our clients, the state board of accounts," he said.
"Our office is currently evaluating how best to resolve the issue."
England defended his motives when the audit was first published, as he said he was only attempting to provide health coverage for workers who had dedicated several years of service to the city.
"I have not done anything immoral," England said.
City Attorney Stan Robison, who was hired by Gahan in 2012, defended England in a response letter addressed to the board of accounts last year.
"Mayor England did not grant or create new insurance plans for individuals," Robison stated in the response. "He authorized, through executive order, certain employees with a minimum amount of years service with the city health insurance options upon their retirement to receive the same option as a union retiree."
However, state auditors stated in their report that the New Albany employee manual doesn't provide for insurance benefits for non-bargaining employees upon retirement.
England said in March he would await a decision from Attorney General Greg Zoeller's office before taking any action on the state ruling.

Northumberland County planning officials have approached their counterparts in six municipalities in a bid to form a pool of Community Development Block Grant funds to focus on blight eradication efforts. County officials believe that by combining their block grant dollars, the effort would have a larger local match to seek state dollars.
The county asked the municipalities to designate up to 30 percent of their grant allocation in exchange for receiving an identical share of whatever additional match the blight effort receives from the state.
County planning director Pat Mack said that officials in three communities -- Shamokin, Coal Township and Ralpho Township -- have expressed an interest in participating in the pooling plan. Sunbury and Milton are still on the fence, while planning director Pat Mack said he has little confidence that Delaware Township will buy into the proposal.
The planning department has asked for answers by Oct. 1 so that the county can apply for the additional state money by the end of the year.
The planning department's vision of pooling funds to create leverage to obtain additional state support for the project might be a reasonable practice in the private sector. It may be a profitable way to approach the grant-winning game.
But is it right?
While those frustrated by government like to suggest the public sector might function more efficiently if it operated more like a business, the government cannot be run like a business. Those working for taxpayers should not be looking to game the grant systems to get more money, no matter how worthy the cause.
Certainly, fighting blight is an effort that most people in public office in Northumberland County will endorse.
The idea originated with the county's housing authority which received $35,000 to establish a blight task force. The effort germinated with a bid for state dollars and has continued to develop into a broader bid to get a larger sum of state investment.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
He told the Journal, "The boat suddenly tilted, so sharply that my highball slid from the table.
"Then came a cry: 'We're sinking,' and the lights grew dimmer and dimmer and finally went out."
Romaine made it into Lifeboat 9.
Today, Romaine's great-great niece, Kay Hite, lives in Anderson. She is related to Romaine on her mother's side. Hite met Romaine's widow, Doll, once at a family Thanksgiving gathering in Indiana. Hite, now 71, was about 10, so the outing was perhaps in 1940.
Doll Romaine lived well in the high society of New York, relatives said. Hite recalled how she "taught me how to pass the creamer to the person next to me."
Hite said she's long had an interest in the history of the Titanic, among the greatest maritime disasters ever. Years ago, she said, a British writer of a book about the ship gave her a small piece of metal from it.
Hite and her relatives are well aware of their relationship to Romaine.
"My grandchildren think it's wonderful," she said. "They're real proud of that fact."

Thanks! To Lynn, Marylin, Carmen, Anita, Tara and Tonya! We got "lucky" and flew two dogs last Tuesday, one each direction. Jill and I are constantly amazed at the effort so many people expend to make these plans work! It takes communication and co-operation and the result, in this case, is Lance and Scooter getting a chance at a better life.
Lance is a German Shorthair Pointer, picked up by animal control as a stray. Tara, Cache Co. Humane Society, brought him to the Logan, UT, airport where Jill and I loaded him up and flew him to Boise, ID. Anita took "control" for further transport to the receiving rescue.
Scooter is a deaf Border Collie, brought to the Boise airport by Carmen. We flew him to Evanston, where Tonya met him for the drive to Casper.
Both dogs loaded easily into our medium-size, collapsible wire kennel and were sleeping soon after engine start. They're both good dogs and we were happy to be part of their travel.

While he seems like the very embodiment of "cool," Justin Timberlake doesn't use that word to describe himself.
"Listen, I'm not cool," the singer, dancer and actor says in the "Men of The Year" issue of GQ. "Being cool is about keeping your blood pressure steady. So no. Don't be cool. Be passionate. Be dedicated. Be tenacious. Be uncompromising. Be pissed. Be happy. Be sad."
Timberlake, 32, goes on to explain that not being "cool," often means doing the opposite of what's expected of him, like playing a high-stakes gambler in Runner Runner alongside Ben Affleck or appearing in sketches on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon every night for Timberweek.

There was an outcry when the Emmy producers announced that they were paying special tribute during Sunday's telecast to five people the industry had lost over the past year.
The rumblings were so loud about what some saw as favoritism that even Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris stepped into the fray to explain the reasoning.
"I always find the In Memoriam is just really interesting because sometimes it seems weird that they keep the audio on in the house, so some people get applause and some people don't, and it turns it into this weird moment," he told Access Hollywood. "And you want that moment to be honoring those people, and not a competition."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — There is some good news coming from the Capitol. The Senate's education committee will not take up a House-backed bill that allows trained teachers to carry handguns in classrooms.
The bill, approved in the House earlier this session, was a reaction to the shootings in Connecticut in December. The House author, Rep. Mark McCullough, R-Sapulpa, rationalized that having an armed teacher would have provided protection against an attack like the Connecticut shootings that killed 20 children and six adults.
Another reaction was the formation of the Oklahoma Commission on School Safety. That group, headed by Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb, included experts on school safety, mental health, law enforcement, parents and first responders, did not endorse the legislation.
Education officials said putting more guns in schools is not the answer. The commission's recommendations include a new security hotline, better mental health training for educators and a new state institute that focuses on student safety.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
The parents of a boy who drowned at a City of Greenville municipal reservoir last year have sued the city and the Greenville Electric Utility System (GEUS).
A current under the waters of Municipal Reservoir No. 4 posed "an unreasonable risk of harm" according to the litigation filed Monday with the 354th District Court. Tireiger Micky and Echensia Hassan are suing for damages in the June 11, 2012, death of 3-year-old Ledaro Micky.
Greenville City Attorney Daniel Ray said he had not been served as of Wednesday and declined comment until after he has had a chance to read the suit.
Micky was on a fishing trip with his family when he fell into the water in a pond near a culvert next to the GEUS power plant at the reservoir. The plant was operating at the time and drawing water into the facility.
An official statement released by the City of Greenville indicated Micky fell into the south side of the small pond adjacent to the reservoir. The child's father attempted to grab Micky from the water but was unable to pull him to safety due to the swift current.
Once the power plant pumps were shut off, divers entered the water, while boats with sonar and drag equipment began searching the area.
The search was halted shortly before midnight on June 11, 2012, after severe weather moved into the region. Crews with the Public Works Department moved in overnight with heavy equipment to create a steel barrier at the outlet, so that water could be pumped from the area where Micky had entered the water.
The search resumed at approximately 7 a.m. the next day and Micky's body was recovered about 90 minutes later from the north side of the small pond adjacent to the reservoir. It was believed that the swift water carried the child through the inlet under the roadway and into other side of the pond.
The lawsuit filed by attorney David R. Ragsdale of Carrollton placed blame for the incident on the city and the utility.
"Defendant's electric generating plant intentionally created a hidden strong under-current in the reservoir, that was a dangerous condition and posted an unreasonable risk of harm to Ledaro Micky and others similarly situated," Ragsdale said.
No hearing dates have been scheduled in the suit.

What is in this article?:
- Mobile equipment capitalizes on benefits of hydraulics
- HST provides propulsion
- Expanding the realm of possibilities
- Reservoirs for mobile equipment
- Vented or pressurized reservoir?
Hydraulics has given a tremendous boost to the performance and versatility of mobile equipment. After centuries of human and animal powered equipment, machine builders harnessed the power of steam. This advancement expanded the power of machines to enable them to move heavier loads faster. To this day, you still sometimes hear excavators referred to as steam shovels. But the greatest leap forward in mobile equipment performance came with the advent of modern hydraulics.
These advancements continue today with ever-increasing power capacities, higher reliability through improved filtration and diagnostic techniques, higher energy efficiency by implementing load-sensing circuitry, and enhanced operation through electronic control. Perhaps nothing better illustrates the strides achieved in higher power capabilities for mobile equipment than the photo at right. It shows one of the first all-hydraulic excavators dwarfed by the largest built to date, the RH400, designed and built by Orenstein and Koppel AG, of Berlin, Germany. The hydrostatic drives, implements, and other systems are powered by a pair of Cummins 2700-hp QSK60 diesel engines. The hydraulic systems are supplied by 18 variable-displacement, axial-piston pumps, eight of which are Model A7VSL1000HDs from Mannesmann Rexroth.
This earthmoving giant was delivered to Syncrude Canada Ltd., Fort McMurray, Alberta for its new North Mine project. A total of four RH-400s are used for mining oil sand, which is trucked to crushing stations and eventually mixed with hot water to form an oil sand slurry that is pumped through a pipeline to an extraction station. The process is expected eventually to produce 82 million barrels of oil per year. When the project reaches full capacity, in 2006, the four RH400s will deliver oil sand to as many as 30 trucks, each with a capacity of 320 tons. It takes only four passes of an RH400 to completely fill one of the trucks. The high reliability and efficiency of the RH400's hydraulic system, combined with other advancements, will enable production to increase while decreasing operating costs. In fact, officials project that the North Mine project will use 15% less energy than had been consumed by its predecessor, the East Mine.
Hydraulics essential to mobile forklift
Unless you work in the material handling or shipping industry, you probably think of a forklift as 4-wheeled vehicle that zips through warehouses unloading pallet-mounted cargo from trucks, loading cargo onto trucks, or moving freight around a warehouse to make room for more freight. Although this is an accurate perception of the traditional forklift truck, more and more lift trucks depart from this convention.
Two applications have driven this diversity in forklift truck design. First, outdoor warehousing has become commonplace, so the traditional 4-wheel truck with small tires and rear drive and steering proves unsuitable in many situations. Instead, forklift trucks that can tackle uneven terrain were developed to serve this need. Second, many companies need to load or unload cargo at facilities that have no forklift truck. For these cases, the lift truck is loaded onto the truck bed and transported with the freight to the destination. Once there, the lift truck is unloaded and used to move the freight from the truck's cargo bed to a specific area at the destination.
The TrailerMate, manufactured by Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc., Lubbock, Texas, combines both of these features and more - all made possible by the innovative use of hydraulics. The TrailerMate features a two-wheel hydrostatic drive (three-wheel optional) that not only provides propulsion, but speed control and braking as well. Steering is accomplished through a rear-mounted wheel that is positioned by a rotary actuator. As with most forklifts, the mast assembly is raised and lowered using hydraulics. But, in addition, the TrailerMate incorporates a Pantograph Reach mechanism that is, essentially, a horizontally mounted double scissors jack. A pair of hydraulic cylinders actuates this mechanism to permit the fork assembly to reach loads positioned up to 4-ft in front of the TrailerMate.

African business, politics and lifestyle
Is Obama Africa's saviour?
Africa is rich in natural resources like oil, gold, diamonds, platinum and yet millions of African people live in abject poverty. The global economic and climate crisis have made life even harder.
At the recent G8 meeting in Italy, African leaders and members of civil society voiced concerns over the promises made in previous G8 meetings of aid and assistance that have yet to materialise.
But should African leaders be taking greater responsibility for the plight of their people? Is the West to some extent being asked to bear the responsibilities of African governments that have failed their people through wars, rigged elections and spectacular self enrichment? Should Africans not be investing more in their own economies?
Many in the diaspora have stayed away from their countries of origin as a result of lack of progress, resources and infrastructure. But will that continue forever? Should Africans look to the West for handouts while some of its leaders live in luxury and some of their governments are ravaged by corruption?
Will global crisis hurt remittances to Africa?
It seems everyone in Africa has family members living abroad.
Just stop someone on the street and ask if they have a cousin, a brother, or a sister living in Europe, the United States or elsewhere around Africa, and most likely they'll say that they have two or three or more. Remittances from those loved ones total some $40 billion per year, according to the United Nations. In some countries, diaspora money makes up more than 20 percent of the gross domestic product, and analysts say, remittance cash may be as much as 50 percent higher than current estimates due to informal transfers.
But there is growing concern that this money could be a victim of a spiralling crisis in global financial markets.

Tea Party Politics: A Conversation with Dr. Scott Lasley
By Gary Pitts
Everyone knows about the wave of lawmakers that came onto the national scene four years ago riding the Tea Party ticket. There's no better example of that than right here in our own backyard with Senator Rand Paul. And as we come up on Tuesday's primary election, it's apparent that the Tea Party movement is still influential. But how has that affected the Republican Party on down the line in state and local level elections? Gary Pitts spoke with Dr. Scott Lasley, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Western Kentucky University to find out.

Midway through my freshman year of high school, all of my buddies were getting heavily into a sport to which I'd had only minimal exposure. Growing up on the Georgia coast just south of Savannah, I had played the three sports offered by most recreation departments during the late 1970s and early '80s — baseball, football and basketball — and that was pretty much it.
But thanks to my uncle, I had always been a little interested in the sport my friends were taking to — golf. Uncle Lito (you can't make that name up) had taken me to play for the first time when I was 9 or 10 on one of his visits from California, and I loved it even though I couldn't really adapt my baseball swing. I remember hitting what would have been a lot of foul balls on a diamond, slicing some of his beat-up Titleists into the woods at a Brunswick golf course.
However, as any golfer can tell you, all it takes is one shot to hook you like no drug could. When you hit that first perfect shot — that first drive that takes off like a plane, climbs high like a rocket and bounces softly in the middle of the fairway, or an iron shot that goes exactly where you want it to and nestles safe and warm next to the flagstick on the green — you become a golfing addict.
My 14th birthday was the one where I begged my dad for my first set of clubs, a flat-backed set of Spalding irons with three real woods from K-Mart. I have been a serious addict ever since, with no 12-step program ever sought after.
In this area, we are fortunate to have several golfing options, with a great range of public courses as well as some top-flight private clubs. I have been fortunate to have played most of the courses in the area and have rarely been disappointed.
Here in Whitfield County, The Farm and Dalton Golf and Country Club are top-notch private facilities I've played during corporate scrambles and benefit tournaments, and for the upper-income golfer they offer the complete golf/country club experience with some of the best staffs I have run into across the state.
And for the more average and lower-income golfer like myself, Nob North in Cohutta, The Pasture in Tunnel Hill and Chatsworth's Spring Lakes and Indian Trace offer challenging courses that are great values for the money. Up the road a little to the north and across the border into Tennessee, Cleveland's Waterville course will soon be reopening its back nine as construction on the Dalton Pike wraps up.
You can contact your local courses and chase some Balatas with friends or take some jing from your boss in a little friendly best-ball wager at: Nob North, 298 Nob North Drive, Cohutta, nobnorth.com, (706) 694-8505; Indian Trace, 730 Mitchell Bridge Road, Chatsworth, indiantracegolf.com, (706) 695-7353; Spring Lakes, 1571 Spring Place-Smyrna Road, Chatsworth, (706) 695-9300; or The Pasture, 3449 Chattanooga Road, Tunnel Hill, (706) 673-4131.
While recent heat may have kept a lot of people off the links, it is still a good idea to think about that next wave of little golfers you may have at the house, and two upcoming junior golf camps could help start the next generation.
Nob North will host a junior clinic for boys and girls from ages 7 to 17 on July 16 to 18 for $60. Also, North Murray golf coach Keith Robinette will have a four-day kids camp with two days at Indian Trace and two days at Spring Lakes from July 16 to 19. The cost is $50 per golfer with discounts for multiple siblings.
These camps along with other summer opportunities for your out-of-school, "I'm-bored" youngster can be found in our Local Sports Calendar at daltonnow.com/events.

Bill for Sussex Police set to stay the same
3:50pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
The cost of keeping our police force looks set to be frozen for a third year running.
Newly elected Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne has confirmed she is looking to keep the police precept, which is added to the council tax bill, the same as last year.
The previous two years have seen central government give a supplementary grant to cover the cost of the move.
The Conservative PCC has begun drawing up her budget proposals, which will be discussed with Home Secretary Theresa May in the new year.
Residents are likely to welcome the move which, combined with the Government's determination to cap council tax increases at 2%, will see the overall bill remain low.
But Bob Brown, chairman of the Sussex Police Federation, said the move could lead to more frontline cuts if a guarantee was not given the grant would be on offer again.
Cut budget
He said: "Unless the grant will pay for it again this time, this will be a real-term cut in the policing budget and on top of savings identified for 2015 and further cuts of one or two per cent over the next few years released in the autumn statement.
"This could see a reduction in the number of police officers serving the community of Sussex and I will do everything in my dealings with the Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner to ensure it does not happen."
Mr Brown said the move could be interpreted as an attempt to please voters following Mrs Bourne's election on November 23, despite Prime Minister David Cameron saying the new roles would not lead to politicisation of the police.
He added: "It is a possibility given the political banner she is elected under. Most of the independent and non-Conservative PCCs have already stated they wish to see increases to police funding."
There are currently 35 people who have prejoined to become recruits for the Sussex force in May next year but Mr Brown said were the precept to be held he would be worried recruitment would again be frozen.
The current precept is £138.42 for a Band D house in Sussex.

Knoxville —
To the Editor:
This letter is in regards to your article titled Rec Center expansion discussed. According to this piece our "City has approximately $400,000 in unallocated funds to use." Four Knoxville City Council members were quoted on how they want or don't want to spend this money. How about the rest of our citizens, where do you think this money could be best spent? When I say "our citizens," I mean people that live within our city limits, in our rural areas, and people working / shopping in Knoxville; after all could we still be a town without everyone's support?
Nothing was mentioned about our closed theater. Did we find someone to take over this large project? In order to transfer the old system to digital is roughly an $80,000 investment, plus the cost of the building, the updates, and the cost of the movies and snacks maybe a good $200,000 give or take a few hundred. I do have to say, who wants to move to a town without a movie theater? Ok, maybe a small number of people that aren't interested in the arts.
I have heard people say, "Why can't we have a splash pad and have FREE admission? It doesn't have to be some elaborate park, other places don't charge, and why do they feel they need to put a fence around something if no pool is included?"
I feel these are all great questions and should be answered. Food for thought on the question about the fence around the splash pad and if safety is the factor; we don't have one around the skate park. This would add to an unnecessary expense because parents could supervise their young children while having a bonding experience.
Moving right along, I heard a guy say, "If someone donated land he would dig a hole for an outdoor swimming pool. Someone else answered back, "People want things for free." Ouch. The first guy was going to donate his time and his equipment. This reminds me of the old saying, "Time is money." He was reaching out for others to meet him halfway. Anyone want to help him out on this project?
About a year ago a woman told me she would love for us to have a Putt Putt Golf Center. She drives to Newton with her son. I wonder how many more people drive to other towns for entertainment, have a wonderful time but feel robbed afterwards on the amount it cost them in gas, food, and entertainment.
One more thing before everyone reading this goes back to what they were doing.
In the past ten years that I have moved back to my home town, I have heard things like; "Why doesn't our town get restaurants like, Wendy's, Long John Silvers, or clothing and shoe stores?" Now that I think about this question, I've heard the same rumor back in high school on why. I believe this could and should be answered by our City Officials.
The people in and around town want answers, they have ideas, and we have seen what our citizens can do when we help each other. I wrote this to help get these ideas and questions out because this is what people are talking about, want to know who's listening, and want to know what can be done. Is there something like a "free auto site" where people can share their opinions and concerns even if they live outside the city limits?
I could be wrong, but sounds like our community wants to have an input before City Council makes a decision on spending money. We all want the best for our town and want to see it grow. One way is to stop the rumors on why we can't and communicate how we can. Thank you for your time.

> SOUTHERN INDIANA — As the cold weather takes its grip, customers who need extra support with electricity bills could get up to $300 from Duke Energy.
The energy company announced its plan to contribute $3.5 million over five years to the Indiana Energy Assistance Program.
"There's always a demand for energy assistance, but it's especially needed as our economy recovers," Doug Esamann, president of Duke Energy Indiana, said in a press release. "Over the past decade, our Helping Hand program has provided more than $4 million in assistance to customers in need. This year's funding triples the amount each customer can receive."
Angeline Protogere, communications manager for Duke Energy Indiana, said Duke customers who are signed up for the Energy Assistance Program through the state don't need to apply separately for Duke's initiative.
"When an individual applies for that program, they are automatically screened by the local Community Action agency to see if they're eligible for this funding," Protogere said. "They don't need to apply for anything. It's something that they're evaluated for as part of their application for the energy assistance programming that's administered by the state."
Phil Ellis, director of community development for Community Action of Southern Indiana, said the agency follows property index guidelines to determine whether a household qualifies for the program.
He said the cutoff income for an individual is $16,335, a household of two cuts off at $22,065, three at $27,795 and four at $33,525.
Applicants need to bring a copy of their lease if they rent, Social Security cards for each member of the household, proof of income for the last 12 months and a copy of their energy bills.
He said since Nov. 1, the three offices have provided assistance to 3,342 households.
"We have a lot of money to spend and we're encouraging anyone who feels they're eligible to contact us," Ellis said. "We want to make sure families take advantage of this benefit."
Before Duke made the extra donations, customers were only eligible for $100 off their bills. If funds are still available by summer, they may be used for cooling costs as well.

Sam Samore: Library of Appearances08/08/2012
Team Gallery is set to play host to its first solo presentation of work by American artist Sam Samore, with separate exhibitions installed in each of the gallery's spaces. Library of Appearances presents new large-scale color photographs and recent short films at the Gallery's 83 Grand Street location. Concurrently, their 47 Wooster Street space will present 1973, a second show by Samore made up of selections from two historical bodies of work.
Samore's new works are vast fauvist-colored photographs of lips and eyes presented singularly as well as vertically stacked in pairs and towers. Dramatized and theatrical, there is also something erotic about the works, based on our fixation with the sensations associated with the depicted body parts. However, this quality is softened with blur and grain, to become somewhat romantic.
In the second gallery, the artist has installed a triptych of new short films: Archipelago of Enigmas (2012), Compendium of Perplexities (2011), and Glossary of Delusions (2010). Though screened together, the films are individual, and the non-linear compositions are evocative of the changing nature of the self.
// September 12th – October 27th 2012. Reception on Wednesday September 12th at 6:00PM

Enid News and Eagle
The funeral for Carl Daniel Boese will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012, in the chapel at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Pastor Richard Fleig will officiate. Viewing will be from 6 until 7 p.m. this evening at Ladusau-Evans funeral home.
Carl was born to Peter Jacob and Eva (Schartner) Boese near Taloga, Okla., on Sept. 21, 1920. He went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday evening, Dec. 9, 2012.
Carl grew up on farms in the Taloga-Seiling area. He joined the Army in October 1942. He was honorably discharged in 1943 as a Disabled American Veteran.
Upon returning to the Fairview area, he married Gearldean Boese, the love of his life. They were married for 67 years. They eventually located to Oklahoma City, where they started raising their family of three children. He worked for Humpty Dumpty grocery stores as a meat manager.
In 1963, Carl relocated his family to Southern California, where he continued his career in the grocery industry. He retired in 1988 and moved to the Lake Arrowhead area of the San Bernardino Mountains. In 1993, Carl and Jerry relocated to Enid to be near his sister, Thelma Jensen.
Carl loved to travel, play his harmonica and entertain family and friends with jokes, riddles, and poems that he had found or wrote himself. He loved all children, but nothing lit up his eyes like his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Carl was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; his daughter, Debbie Nixon; his brothers, Tillman, Levi, and Paul; and his sisters, Elizabeth and Lillian Boese, and Thelma Jensen.
Carl is survived by his son, DeWayne, and wife, Ann Marie, of Enid, daughter Robbie and husband, Al Koos, of Grand Junction, Colo., grandchildren, Cori, Dan, Scott, Anna, Jon, Patrick, Brandi, Breanna, Ryan, Jaden, and Cassidy; 13 great-grandchildren; 11 nephews; two nieces; and his best friend, Richard Fleig.
Our father was a kind and gentle soul who always spoke well of others and touched everyone he met with his big smile and a genuine interest in who they were.
But first and foremost, he was a man of God. If you knew our father, you knew a man who represented Christ in a most wonderful way: humility and selflessness. Words cannot express how much this man of God will be missed.

"Linked Up," the singles mixer over the weekend at the Statler, looked like fun. Of course they never had this kind of thing when Buzz was single! We peeked in and everyone was dancing the Electric Slide and the Cupid Shuffle. "Do that stuff!" a deejay shouted.
We hear they had an event like this at the Hyatt not too long ago and it drew an immense crowd.
The best thing at the Statler mixer was the Linked Up Photo Booth. You decked yourself out in a variety of costume props like wigs and funny hats and then you ducked inside to get your picture taken. And people could watch you from the outside. Ha, ha!
Buzz posed with Howard, the guy we married, for that masterful picture up above.
However. Looking at the costume props, we were puzzled. One of these things was not like the others, one of these things just didn't belong.
Since when is a Bills cap weird attire?
How is anyone supposed to "link up" without one?

Product Details
Backup Camera by Edge®. This video camera with night vision technology comes with an anti-theft locking bracket that mounts directly to your vehicle's rear license plate. The cable runs directly to the Insight CTS video port for high-resolution viewing night or day. When connected to the CTS, camera mode will engage automatically when most automatic transmissions are put into reverse.
- Images play on your Edge Attitude, Insight or Evolution color touch screen (CTS) monitor (sold separately)
- Not available on manual transmission vehicles
- Compatible with the Insight CTS built-in video input jack
- Night vision technology allows viewing in darkness or sunlight
- Backup display automatically appears when Reverse is engaged
- Can also be mounted on front of vehicle
- Comes with instructions and all necessary parts for installation
- 1-year manufacturer warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
The Insight Edge CTS back-up camera is a must have for safety-conscious drivers and those that tow any kind of trailers. Because it's almost impossible to see out of the back of many vans, sport utilities, and pickup trucks with caps on the rear, why not give yourself the gift of sight where you need it most. If you've ever had a difficult time backing up to align a trailer hitch and tongue, a reverse camera will make that process a cinch. Then when you're on the road, a quick touch of the screen will let you keep an eye on the coupling and wiring for peace of mind everything is remaining secure. If you have small children, make sure they are out of harm's way when backing out of your driveway or leaving school drop off areas. Don't forget how much all those expensive toys cost that get left in your driveway – with the backup camera, you'll never accidentally run over them again.
For trucks or vans that are lifted or just have low visibility in front, the Edge camera can also be mounted on the front license plate to ensure your forward path is clear. The camera comes with cable that runs directly to the back of the CTS video input jack, and all parts and instructions necessary to install. When the Insight CTS picks up a signal that the gear selector is in reverse (on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions that track gear position), the camera display will kick on automatically. It can also be manually turned on and off at any time.256.47Brand: Edge Part Number: 98201 UPC: 810115011224

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas District Judge Steve Yelenosky has issued an injunction that will keep Planned Parenthood in the Women's Health Program pending resolution of their lawsuit.
The family planning organization has sued the state of Texas arguing that a new rule banning clinics affiliated with abortion providers violates state law. No state funds go to organizations that provide abortions, but the so-called "affiliate rule" denies funding to clinics that share the same name as an abortion provider, even if they are financially independent.
Gov. Rick Perry has said that he would rather shut down the program that cares for 111,000 women than allow state funds to reach Planned Parenthood.
Unless overturned on appeal, the injunction will remain in effect until a trial can decide Planned Parenthood's lawsuit.

Why are you safe? It's simple: Pet care requires face-to-whisker contact. High-quality veterinary care can't be administered from across the clinic, let alone from across the pond.

I have had the pleasure of booking with these guys and I must say that it is one of the best experiences of booking air travel ever. Mr. Sonny Chatrath, the owner himself took interest in what I was booking, not only gave me the best deal without any headache, but their customer service was superb! Took care of me every step of the way, and the cherry on top was that they called me to find out how my trip went after I got back home? You don't find a business like that these days much, so I am certainly a lifetime customer to them. Book with them and you will know what I mean :)
I have been travel to India 5 times in the last 3 years. And every time, I book through Air-Saving's Mr Sonny. I give him the dates and the restriction..in my case ..avoid overnight stay in Delhi to catch the connecting flight. He always come back with the best options and the PRICE. I am traveling to India this July and Sonny have booked the tickets for me. Even some of my friends who goes to Mumbai were very pleased with his service. I highly recommend.
Deepa is great to work with. We have been booking our tickets with her for the past 8 years and they are quick and great prices.
I happened to mail air-savings by chance and it turned out to be good. I mailed lot of agencies for a ticket and I got a really quick response with a good price quote from Air-Savings. Nimissha was prompt and helpful. Will recommend to family and friends. ;)
Air-Savings is really very helpful and they are very patient to answer all the questions. I've never seen a service before anything like this. Even if you change your bookings before purchasing the ticket or ask them to try different options, they don't say no like other agencies and also they don't try to convince or force you to buy the ticket. Air-Savings give any option you want to choose but they also recommend the best price out of everything. Bindu was helping me with my booking needs.

The Tonawanda News
— In what appears to be a continuing trend, yet another North Tonawanda expatriate is tapping back into the city she once called home.
Carol Tallichet, is in the process of renovating the former Niagara River Yacht Club, which she is leasing from the city and plans to open by Memorial Day.
She grew up on Thompson Street in the Lumber City, graduated from the high school then married a Texas man who launched the much-lauded Speciality Restaurants Corp., which now runs 21 restaurants across the nation, including Templeton Landing in the City of Buffalo.
Tallichet, who spends winters living in southern California, said she has routinely visited the area each summer, though when her husband passed away those trips became more frequent and lengthy.
She purchased a home along the Niagara River and was driving along River Road one day last year when she saw a for sale sign near the empty clubhouse south of Gratwick-Riverside Park.
"Apparently it had been off and on the market for a while," she said. "And it was love at first sight."
Tallichet reached out to the city to query the state of the property and plans for its development. It was perfect timing.
With her links to the corporation, which specializes in restaurants in airports and on waterfronts, Tallichet submitted a proposal last fall, just as several other proposals were coming in. The city quickly jumped on her interest and within a few months, an agreement was formed.
Finding another tenant has been a long haul for officials, who have had to contend with the crumbling property and dilapidated marina that will cost about $1 million to fix.
But Tallichet, a majority share holder with the company during the last several decades and its vice president, said she has been deeply involved with the inner-workings of the restaurant business and knows how to bring them back to life.
That's what she finds intriguing about the property, which has sat vacant for the last seven years, and the chance to make a personal and effective impact on the once vibrant city where she grew up. While she has the connection to the company her husband founded, this endeavor will be entirely undertaken on her own.
"I initially wanted the company to do something here, "Tallichet said. "But they said it was too small. That's how I really ended up taking it up myself."
A complete redo on the interior of the structure will begin this winter, and when complete there will be enough room for a 50-seat dining room. A sweeping deck has already been put in place — substituting an older, smaller and more rickety version — that now hugs the banks of the river and adds the capacity for at least 70 more patrons. And a sprawling crescent-shaped fire pit will be installed on a parcel along the river's edge.
Tallichet said she wants to keep the menu simple and in line with what locals and boaters want, so she'll stick to homemade fast food fare like burgers, sausages and hot dogs, with a wine and beer list to start.
Following the lead of others who have returned to North Tonawanda, like the East Hill Foundation run by the Greatbatch family, Tallichet said she is open to expanding on her current concept with special events and the like.
"I've been away, but now I feel like I'm as local as you can get," she said.
City engineer Dale Marshall said the city is moving toward following her agenda, with work beginning in March on the marina, boater pedestals, retaining walls and dredging.
"We have a lot of work to do to get that done," he said. "I really want that to happen by Memorial Day. That's our goal."

Best corn-on-the cob
With fresh corn flying off of the stalks, we came across a post on the Joyful Abode blog which claims you can prepare perfect corn-on-the cob with this method:
• Fill your pot with water.
• Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar.
• Drop in your corn.
• Bring to a boil, making sure the sugar is dissolved in the water.
• Boil for no longer than 8 minutes.
• Remove from the water and let it cool enough for handling and eating.
• Season.
• Enjoy.
Best for removing water marks from furniture
The Budget Savvy Diva says you can lift water marks from wood furniture with a little mayonnaise. Cover the mark with two tablespoons of full-fat mayo. Leave it on at least eight hours. Wipe it clean and the ring will be gone! The diva claims to have used this trick successfully on numerous occasions, and goes on to explain the theory behind the restorative trick. The fat in the mayonnaise is reabsorbed into the ring thus causing the ring to disappear.

Readers best recipe
Dena Aretakis Horn of Raleigh wrote in to share her favorite five-ingredient-or-less recipe for summer. Its healthy and is perfect for lunch or supper. Hope you enjoy it!
Pasta Salad with Spinach
1 pound Penne pasta
2 cloves of garlic
One bunch of fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 pound feta cheese
1/2 of a red pepper
Boil the pasta until done and set aside. Saute garlic in olive oil. Cook spinach about 5 minutes. Crumble feta cheese and chop the red pepper. Add all ingredients to the pasta and mix together with additional olive oil. This recipe serves six.
Best temperature check
If your attempts to cook foods according to recipes usually end in burned or underbaked foods, you may want to take your ovens temperature. After a while, ovens may lose accuracy, running up to 25 degrees too hot or cool, Real Simple magazine says. To test yours, place an oven-safe thermometer on the middle rack and heat the oven to 300 degrees F; when the oven indicates it has reached that temperature, check the thermometer. If it reads 275 degrees F, youll know that you need to set the temperature 25 degrees higher. Or seek a permanent fix by calling a repairman recommended by the manufacturer.
Best for roses
As you tend your rose bushes this summer, remember these tips from Readers Digest.
For the best display of blooms, fertilize roses at least every few weeks. There are special fertilizers for roses, but a general-purpose fertilizer will do. Using too much can result in lots of leafy growth but not many flowers.
Once the flower is fading, clip it off just above the first five-leaflet leaf. This deadheading will encourage more blooms.
Roses need at least six hours of sun a day, and they like rich, well-drained soil that has been worked to a depth of at least 18 inches. They require one inch of water per week with as little as possible splashed on their leaves. A one- to-three inch layer of mulch around them conserves moisture and prevents soil-borne disease.
Make all cuts at a 45-degree angle, slanting downward toward the center of the bush, and about 1/4 inch above an outward-facing leaf bud. This encourages new growth outward.

- Rattle in Steering Column on cold start (Very Annoying) - Now Fixed
- DVD Sat Nav (Buttons Flickering) when cabin lights dimmed down (No Fault Found) - Not done it again since!
- Glove Box would not open properly (Was Tough as hell) then when opened would not close properly... had to slam 4 or 5 times to shut. (Seems to be fixed for now)
I had a 2006 Focus ST-2 before my Audi... and the build quality was far from great on it! But I never Ever experienced problems like this on that car!
- Ive noticed a Scratch on the "Inside" of the Instrument panel also... which has gone back to Audi UK and they have agreed to pay for a replacement... which is a Dash out job On a brand new car!!!
Whats everyone's thoughts on this! Obviously I need to let the dealer have the chance to fix it, although Im not too happy about having my two week old car ripped to bits... but what can I do for an otherwise factory fault list...
