Mr. Rossiter,
I had permission to fish before the landfill was ever a thought. I hunted a few times with the old guys around Fairview that hunted it all the time. So now you know when and how. It used to be a big cattle farm.
For you. you came on a public forum and tried to deceive your identity to convey a message and clearly lied. I called you on it and you fessed up. This is the wrong place to do that.
I know who Brad is and I know he is a stand up guy and I hope the IDNR makes no more cuts so he can stay in Fulton County.
When you called me out after you lied and falsified your identity you showed Brad and everyone else what kind of person you really are. Yes I called you out for everyone to see and did it publicly. But now when you cry wolf to Brad or anyone else they are going to question your integrity. That is too bad it could have been done without trying to deceive people.
For meeting me or me calling you. Time will tell on that I guess.
Good Luck Mr. Rossiter and Happy Hunting. I hope it was all worth all of the deception to kill that big buck, or turkey, or pick mushrooms or catch big bass or whatever. People know the truth now.

December 10, 2012 BOE Meeting
December 12, 2012
The Nemaha Central Board of Education received a request for a donation for a Nemaha Valley High School band trip to the Alamo Bowl in December, 2013. The group has raised approximately $8,000 of the $25,000 estimated cost of the trip through various fund raisers. Requested by the group was permission for the trip, $1,600 to be used for transportation expense, and to open an invitation to B&B High School students. Approximately 45 students and parent chaperones will be attending from Nemaha Valley. It was pointed out that the charter bus is for 55 passengers. Following discussion, the board advised the group to make a request from the Nemaha Valley Schools Education Foundation for a donation. A motion was made to approve the trip for Nemaha Valley High School students.
Ben Scism, teacher at B&B Junior/Senior High School informed members of a new concept he is using in grading students in his 7th grade class. He explained the "standard based grading" which is based on "objectives" the student has mastered. Students have multiple opportunities within the quarter to reassess the objectives to change their grade. Ben showed an example of a test taken under his previous system compared to the same test given under the new system.
Supt. Kohlman stated that he, Jason Hammes and Gary Niehues had met on Monday, December 3 with representatives from the USD 113 Prairie Hills (Sabetha) school district regarding the land transfer requests from Bern area patrons. He stated that the property agreed upon for the transfer request was narrowed down to the area from "O" Road and west to the current USD 115 boundary line and from 176th Road north to the state line. The approximate assessed valuation of the property is $2 million. The USD 113 Board is discussing the issue at their board meeting this same evening. Mr. Kohlman stated that he has a letter and affidavit that will be mailed to all the property owners in the designated area. Property owners interested in having their land transferred from USD 113 to USD 115 will be asked to return the notarized affidavit.
Supt. Kohlman addressed the recruitment & retention of staff, most specifically the evaluation system changes in the near future. Also addressed was one of the three options for facilities that was approved last month - a stand-alone middle school in Baileyville. He stated that the administrative team has been discussing this idea and will make visits to several middle schools next week.
The board approved the purchase of "Build Your Own Curriculum" software for teaching staff for three years. Also approved was a bid for replacement of the roof on the district office from Diamond Everley Roofing in the amount of $11,400. Members gave Supt. Kohlman permission to advertise for an Information Technology Director for the district.
A special meeting for a work session was set for Thursday, January 10, 2013 beginning at 5:00 p.m.

(Part VIII of this series)
If the reader found Locke's unabashed eye-for-an-eye ethic regarding murderers excessive, what comes next in this chapter is even more bizarre a logical leap:
"This makes it lawful for a man to kill a thief, who has not in the least hurt him, nor declared any design upon his life, any farther than, by the use of force, so to get him in his power, as to take away his money, or what he pleases, from him; because using force, where he has no right, to get me into his power, let his pretence be what it will, I have no reason to suppose, that he, who would take away my liberty, would not, when he had me in his power, take away every thing else."
— John Locke, Second Treatise on Civil Government, Chapter 3
He at least gives a reason for this view, but it's one we would unequivocally condemn for its rashness of judgment. Even if Locke refers not to petty theft here, but to serious embezzlements or bank robberies — being generous, since he in fact cites theft of a horse or coat as worth killing over — it seems hardly sensible to infer total hostility and non-negotiability from a willingness to steal property of a non-essential sort (not integral to a person's well-being, that is). That's a heavy burden of proof to shoulder when making claims about human nature upon which lives depend. Here we see a simple but important example of a way ethical and legal determinations concern probabilistic facts, given an agreed-upon premise of value.
As backward as Locke has gotten the details, his broader point stands fairly well: Without government, people are in a state of nature in which we may get along cooperatively to some respectable degree, delivering informal justice, and it is when one person threatens the crucial property of another that "war" is declared. Such is a circumstance in which one may suspend the general rules of non-harm for a greater good, although of course it would be wise not to use more force than is necessary for that good.
As the chapter concludes, Locke brings his points together, expressing the necessity of war as a proper response to an aggressor's attempt to dodge justice. The bottom line in this theorizing about the state of war is that society emerges when people seek to minimize the frequency with which they must resort to war. Ideally, we implement a justice system by which harmful actions are discouraged or prevented by the deterrence, isolation, and/or rehabilitation of would-be dangerous individuals, without using the extreme force of war.
Now we have seen some reason to consider Locke as moderately fallible a thinker and moralist as we should expect any human to be, but delving into more of his treatise should prove fruitful in uncovering the essentials of how rights, laws, and justice work.

The Gluten-Free Bakers
About Us
A little about me – Dawn Clancy. Like so many others, I grew up in a family where many memories revolve around time spent in the kitchen. My mother was a wonderful cook and baker, and always encouraged us kids to get involved. She seldom had to ask me twice – I loved it from the get-go!
Over the years my family made many moves, changing neighborhoods and schools, but a couple of things never changed – the cookie jar was always full and meal time was family time. I've always enjoyed baking for my own extended family, but in 1997 my interest became a commitment. It was then that my niece Katy was diagnosed with celiac disease. Unlike today, there was scarce information about this condition, and less in the way of food options, especially outside the home. Katy, her mother (my sister, Blair, RN), and I poured over medical texts, cookbooks, and health food store shelves, and little by little, we achieved a comfort level in this new world of gluten free.
I graduated with honors from Cambridge School of Culinary Arts Professional Chef Program in 2001 where I gained a better understanding of the science of baking. That brings us to today and Curtis Street Bakers. I'm working in a kitchen dedicated to gluten free baking. My hope is to provide delicious treats to those who are eating a gluten free diet – a tasty muffin with that cup of coffee, a cookie or raspberry bar on the way home from school. I take my baking seriously, but seriously, it's what I love to do!

"Having both lived in New York, we're consistently shocked by the price of coffee in Sydney," says Philip Crandall, co-owner of Skyfire Studio, Leichhardt's most intriguing and ambitious new gallery. Even if you're not after an artistic invigoration, you'll benefit from the caffeinated kind here given you can grab an espresso for free.
Crandal co-owns the space with Paige Lampkin, a former economics student. The pair met at Colombia University. Despite their deep appreciation for art, both pursued careers outside the art world but were compelled to start their own creative space when they returned to Sydney. The space in Leichhardt's Italian Forum acts as, "a home for excellent and challenging art and a hub for people with big ideas and the courage to get after them – whether that means learning a new skill, or starting a career as an artist."
Creative skills, not just creative works, are a high priority here. The space offers lessons in fire poi (fire spinning) in the piazza, fertility yoga, DIY craft beer making, painting and tai chi taught by a former member of the Dalai Lama's volunteer security force. Friday is $8-movie night (with gourmet popcorn).
Skyfire's first exhibition, Pulse, opened last week. It features sculptor Ro Murray; the young founder of the Camperdown arts collective, Gut, Sylvia Shrewsbury; live performance art by Isabelle White; and jewellery by Rupert McEvoy, who is just 12 years old and who was discovered by Lampkin.
"In our minds, displaying art is only one element of a successful artistic space. Galleries handle this in different ways, but given we're both great learning enthusiasts, we felt a program that inspires and challenges bodies and minds could really bring the space to life," says Crandall.
"We hope people attending our classes and events can take something away from them – we aim to leave people with something they can use in their everyday lives."

Get Organized!
By David Gnewikow
The first signs of spring are finally beginning to appear in around my home in Tennessee. It's mid-March and normally by this time, my grass is growing, the trees are starting to bud, and the bass are thinking about moving into the shallows. But here, like in most parts of the country, it has seemed like winter would never loosen her grip. One week ago, the low temperature was 3 degrees and parts of our lakes were under ice. That might sound normal to many in the Midwest or Northeast, but not for us southerners.
I could gripe about the cold, but honestly, it has given me some unexpected time to get some things done that otherwise might have not gotten the attention they deserved. Although I love to compete and fish tournaments, I work full-time and own a business. Fortunately, work has been extremely busy. My work schedule, along with family, church and other obligations, have left my boat and fishing tackle in total disarray for the past five months. So, although I am tired of being cold, the cancellation of a few tournaments has allowed me the time to get organized for the upcoming season.
My new 2015 Triton 21TRX has been sitting in the garage, serving more as storage shelf than a tournament bass boat. However, last week in the brutal cold temperatures I took the time to re-evaluate and organize all of my tackle and my boat. Apart from just clearing out the clutter, I feel that organization is a very important part of being a successful tournament angler. Especially when time on the water is limited, the more organized I am and the better my equipment performs, the more efficient I can be
Those of us who work full time and get one day (or sometimes less) to practice for a tournament must use our time wisely on the water if we want to be competitive. It is my goal, during my limited practice time, to use every minute to its maximum potential to help locate fish and develop a good pattern for the tournament. I want to know exactly where every crankbait, hook, and jig is, and be able to access them quickly. I want my rods and reels to function at their maximum ability. I want my electronics to be set up correctly so that I don't have to spend my valuable practice time messing with graphs and trying to get things to work the way I need them to.
While everyone's ideas of organization and preparation may differ, here are some things that I like to do to prepare of the upcoming year:
Clean and lubricate reels
I scrub them with soap and warm water, dry everything out and lightly lubricate the level wind, reel handles and all the moving parts.
Clean and check rods
I like to clean my cork handles with dish washing soap and check all my guides to make sure they are good to go.
Organize terminal tackle
Over the course of a fishing season lots of junk accumulates in my hook and weight box. I throw away old rusty hooks. I sort used hooks to use for practice or fun fishing and restock with new hooks.
Take an inventory of plastics baits
If you haven't ever just dumped all of your plastics on the garage floor and gone through them, you might not know what you have. I try to do this every year, then organize them into bins or on peg board. This saves me hundreds of dollars every year because I don't buy another bag of Rodents or Rage Craws when I already had 10 bags that I couldn't remember I had.
Update electronics
I spent a few hours with my new Humminbird Onix units making sure they had the latest software updates, as well as setting up "favorites" or short-cut screens. This way when I do hit the water, I will be sure that my electronics (and me) are working at maximum efficiency.
I know when I finally make it to the lake this weekend that all of my tackle is in top working condition. I know where everything is in my boat. I know my electronics are set up right and ready to go. Being organized saves valuable time on the water on practice and tournament days. That extra five minutes during the day can make all the difference come weigh-in time.
Now, I just wish I knew where to catch some big bass!
Until next time, keep chunkin' and windin'.

From one icon to another, luxury Fifth Avenue department store Bergdorf Goodman held a red themed party for footwear artisan Christian Louboutin, to celebrate 20 years in the fashion industry.
Along the theme of his glamorous red-soled designs, the Egyptian footwear designer wore a red jacket and was greeted by hordes of high society fans all dressed in the shade, as well as an uncanny Marilyn Monroe lookalike.
The Louboutin celebrations don't stop there though as 2012 is set to be his year. London's Design Museum are hosting the first UK retrospective of his career from 28th March – 1st July to celebrate his landmark anniversary. Now all we need is an invite to his next big party…

Phylogenetics and evolutionary patterns of cleaning
With at least 58 species that exhibit cleaning behavior, the Labridae (wrasses, parrotfishes, and the lesser-known weed whitings) show a tremendous diversity of fishes that engage in this behavior. This diversity over 4 times higher than that seen the next highest group: the Gobiidae (14 cleaner species). The diversity of cleaner fishes within a family does not simply scale with a family's size; for example, the Labridae contain ~631 species, while the Gobiidae have nearly 2000 members.
The species richness of cleaners in the Labridae holds plenty of evolutionary intrigue. Cleaning itself appears to involve a variety of behavioral and morphological adaptations. Species that clean have the capability to target and acquire ectoparasites off the bodies of their 'clients', which often involves acquiescence from these clients. Therefore, one might expect the evolution of cleaning to have relatively few independent origins. In a study (Baliga and Law, 2016), we sought to understand how and when cleaning arose in this group.
We used maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods to infer the relationships between 320 species of labrids. Then, using stochastic character mapping, we simulated character histories across the trees we had generated. Our analyses incorporated information for 50 of the 58 species of known cleaners (100% coverage of genera).
From these reconstructions, we inferred that cleaning evolved at least 26 times within the Labridae, and that the earliest evolution of cleaning likely occurred 17-21 million years ago.
Cleaning appears to be very young: the vast majority of cleaning likely evolved within the last 10 million years.
The majority of these events involved transitions from non-cleaners to the juvenile cleaner state. Cleaning in the juvenile phase appears to be a crucial state that bridges other forms of cleaning (facultative and obligate). This underscores the importance of examining juvenile morphology and ontogenetic patterns of morphological change in this rich and diverse system.
Future research
Additional inferences of how and when cleaning evolved in other groups are forthcoming. Stay tuned!

John Chapman's hilarious farce Kindly Leave The Stage is coming to Trinity Arts Centre in Gainsborough later this month.
And we have a pair of tickets to give away for the show.
Presented by Baroque Theatre Company, the show is a celebration of fun, mayhem and thespian mischief and is of a similar format to the classic farce Noises Off, in that it's focus is a play within a play.
The ensemble go head to head as they play the characters in the play and the actors who are in the play.
Sound confusing? Well don't worry, it's not.
This is a fast-paced farce which is easy to watch and a lots of fun.
Get ready to see jealousy, revelations and the precious actor's egos revealed all one stage, all held together with some crisp writing and hilarious 'double entrendres' from John Chapman.
The marriage of Rupert and Sarah is on the rocks and their friends Charles and Madge, both of whom are lawyers, agree to handle the divorce.

In February 2012, I was commissioned by Sagamore Hill National Historic Site (National Parks Service) to create an artistic photographic collection of Theodore Roosevelt's house in Oyster Bay, Long Island, which was also known as the "Summer White House." The collection arose from a similar project I created for Weir Farm National Historic Site in Connecticut, which is on exhibit at several locations in that state as well as in Washington, DC.
The photographs in this gallery page highlight details from the first floor of the house: the North Room, Dining Room, Pantry, Drawing Room, Hall and Library. The second and third floor rooms appear in the subsequent gallery pages. The three-digit numbers preceding each caption description correspond to the Room ID numbers of the floor plans created by the National Park Service. The final page presents a few comparisons with photographs from the Gottscho-Schleisner Collection at the Library of Congress. This was the last significant body of interior photographs (albeit fully-furnished), which were created in 1966 by Samuel Gottscho. The photographer may perhaps be best known today for a posthumous exhibit and book entitled "The Mythic City: Photographs of New York."
In contrast, the photographs also draw attention to how TR's wife and children left their marks on the house -- in some cases, quite literally. One of TR's boys crudely carved the initial E on the Library door jamb in a scheme to cast the blame on his sister.
Some of these details would have been overwhelmed by the furnishings, shrouded in dimly lit areas or simply out of view from a guided tour behind velvet rope barriers. So there are cases when the same subject appears more than once to explore its beauty under different lighting conditions and angles. An effort was made to avoid taking the "standard" shots reasonably expected from a tourist's viewpoint.
This collection of 144 photographs reveals that even though the house is substantially vacant, TR's spirit remains permanently in residence. It is no surprise that on the day before he passed away, TR wistfully commented to his wife Edith "I wonder if you will ever know how I love Sagamore Hill."
I hope you can appreciate the photos as presented here. In my studio, I have the benefit of seeing these images on a large, color-calibrated monitor under subdued lighting. You can approximate what I see by using the largest monitor you have available (e.g., desktop monitor rather than a laptop) and lowering the lights in the room. You can also turn down the brightness of your monitor as, by default, they are set too high for viewing photos properly. Most PC monitors can be lowered by holding the "Fn" button (between the "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys) while tapping the "F6" key. Afterwards, you can raise your brightness level by holding the "Fn" key and tapping "F7." Keep in mind also that my photos are actually a lot warmer in tone than they will appear on your monitors, which are not calibrated and cast a bluish tone by default.

We owe it to ourselves to get the best local government--the best available government at local level. That is also our legal right, and the Local Government Act 2002 provides a way of making sure of it, by enabling citizens to petition the Local Government Commission (LGC) to move them to a better council.
For nineteen years we have been under the Auckland City Council. Is it the best local government available? That is a question that should be asked. The petition to the LGC to move us to the Thames-Coromandel District Council will answer it. And because the LGC's over-riding criterion is good local government, its process rigorous, and its ruling law, that is what we will then have. East or west, we will have the best of the available options. (Having our own council is impossible under the Act, because a population of 10,000 is required.)
For the detail of what we would then have, read the Draft Reorganisation Proposal.

While both Brooklyn rapper, Saga and the Savemoney producer, Thelonious Martin have made a strong name for themselves over the past year and change, the two have now come together and have decided to embark on a joint album. Molotov, their collaborative LP that's set to kick off 2017 with reckless abandon and includes guest features from Freddie Gibbs, Fashawn, and Rapper Big Pooh, all of whom will sound right at home rapping alongside Saga, over Martin's neck-snapping, soulful instrumentals.
Before the first single is released, the two decide to drop this little teaser in the form of some hard beat hitting infomercial like dopeness.

A splash of red adds an artistic touch to these Zebra Hickoryite cabochons, brightening up the various shades of grey. "Sticks" of Sterling silver match the random striations found in the gemstones and a bright little faceted garnet echos the red of the cabs.
Friction-style posts with extra large 10mm Sterling silver wingnuts hold them securely.
Earrings measure approximately 1-1/2 inches long from top to bottom and the wides stick isone inches across.

Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) agricultural commodities closed sharply lower on Wednesday, with soybean and corn futures dropping to contract lows, following the news that the United States announced a list of tariffs on 200 billion U.S. dollars of Chinese goods on Tuesday.
Before that, investors were already worried about the impact of trade frictions between the world's top two economies after the United States began imposing a 25-percent additional tariff on Chinese products worth 34 billion U.S. dollars on last Friday.
The most active corn contract for December delivery went down 7.5 cents, or 2.08 percent to close at 3.5325 dollars per bushel. September wheat delivery fell 20.25 cents, or 4.12 percent to close at 4.7175 dollars per bushel. November soybean delivery dropped 23.25 cents, or 2.67 percent to close at 8.4825 dollars per bushel.
Favorable crop weather in the U.S. Midwest weighed on corn, which also hit contract lows, on expectations for bumper harvests this season.
Wheat slumped for a third straight day, following corn and soybean lower and as stiff global competition dented demand for U.S. shipments.
China canceled purchases of U.S. soybeans for delivery in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 marketing years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a latest report.

Peeps, today we have Alexa Bourne visiting the blog, telling us all about her wonderful IPN series and her upcoming release, FRACTURED PARADISE!
Let's get to it, shall we?
Cassandra Dean: Congratulations on the upcoming release of FRACTURED PARADISE! Would you tell us a little about it?
Alexa Bourne: FRACTURED PARADISE is set to release on November 6th from Decadent PUblishing. Rachel Grant, an American lass with too much passion for life and not enough common sense, crushes the dreams of Aidan Camden, an English widower clinging to distorted memories of his late wife. But when someone threatens the lass's efforts, can Rachel and Aidan set aside their differences long enough to protect the cottage they both want and to keep Rachel safe?
CD: What inspired you to write FRACTURED PARADISE?
AB: Actually, the original story was A LOT different, and I wrote it to help me deal with my English grandmother's death in 2003. When I started writing for Decadent Publishing, I decided to pull it out, revise it, and use it as a way to celebrate my British heritage.
CD: I see this book is part of the IPN series. Tell us more!
AB: I'm so excited about the IPN series! IPN stands for International Protective Network, which is my fictional bodyguard company I first introduced in my 1st book, Her Highland Champion. The company has offices in Edinburgh and Boston. They specialize in protecting people who have nowhere else to go for help. In each of my novellas, one of the main characters works for the IPN. To learn more about the organization, you can visit the IPN History page on my website.
CD: What do you find easiest/most difficult about writing a series?
AB: The easiest and most difficult aspect is actually the same-creating my own fictional business. I get to choose where it is, what kind of jobs they take, what kind of building they're in, the background for the company's birth. BUT these details can also be the most difficult because every single aspect has to be covered- how the organization began, who works there, which countries they work in, etc. Basically, I have to keep in mind everything that I would need if I were creating a real business, from how they are funded, to what the offices look like, to who does all the paperwork. I like the challenge of figuring out every single detail, but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming too. I have to write everything down in my IPN Bible & hope I never lose it!
CD: Do you have plans to write a book in any other another genre?
AB: I'm actually waiting to hear back from my publisher on a contemporary romance submission AND I'm currently hard at work writing my very first historical romance.
CD: What is your writing process?
AB: I write the rough draft on paper. I don't plot/plan ahead of time. I usually have one scene idea or one character in my head and I just write. It's during this rough drafting where I learn the plot and all about the characters. I usually go through 4-6 drafts depending on the story and its size. As I get closer to being finished with the book, I spend more time on the computer.
CD: What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
AB: Treat others the way you'd like to be treated.
CD: What's the best piece of writing advice you've ever received?
AB: If you want it badly enough, don't give up.
CD: Who is your greatest writing influence?
AB: Stephen J. Cannell was. He created many of the TV shows I was hooked on as a child, shows that had suspense and the good guys always winning. I wrote a lot of fan fiction (when I didn't know it was fan fiction), which helped me decide to pursue publication.
CD: What do you enjoy reading?
AB: I love reading romantic suspense, of course, but I also love historicals, thrillers, inspirationals, classics, non-fiction such as biographies, recounts of historical events, true life stories. I read some paranormal stories, but I'm very picky about which ones I read.
CD: What's your favourite television show? Favourite movie?
AB: My favorite movies are the 3 Bourne movies with Matt Damon. If I had to choose just one of them I'd go with The Bourne Identity. Talk about a tortured hero! As for TV, I love Leverage. It reminds me of my favorite TV show from when I was a kid, The A-Team.
CD: You've been involved in NaNoWriMo several times. Would you share a little about your experiences?
AB: I love doing NaNoWriMo! The first year, I wasn't sure I would be able to write 50,000 words in one month, but I did. Afte that, I refused to fail. Last year was very difficult for me because I had things going on in my "real world" and I honestly didn't think I'd finish. But my friends and family kept saying, "You'll do it." I figured if they had faith in me I couldn't let them down.
CD: If you were stranded in the middle of a wind-swept and heather-strewn Scotland, what three things would you wish were with you?
AB: A hot Scotsman in a kilt, a great Scotch whisky, and a blanket!
CD: Where can readers find you?
AB: Website ~ Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Almost Daily Blog
Thanks so much for this opportunity!
CD: And thanks for stoppying by, Alexa! It was super fun times, and we're now all going to rush out and purchase you books, aren't we peeps?
Peeps? Where are you??
Oh. Purchasing Alexa's books, right?? ;p
Technical analyst Rachel Grant arrives in Sunderland intent on tidying up her grandmother's cottage, but the disaster she discovers requires more than a gentle sweep of a dust rag. Determined to please the most important person in her life, she trades her computer keyboard for a hammer and nails to make the repairs. She doesn't count on the chilly reception from the locals who want to claim Nan's home as their own.
Tour guide Aidan Camden wants to buy the cottage. He's determined to acquire the property no matter how attractive he finds the current occupant. However, when tragedy strikes, throwing them both into a tailspin, he discovers he wants more than the house. He longs for the sexy American as well. Can Aidan put his own ghosts to rest in time to save the woman who's claimed his heart?
"A bit of a disappointment, I expect." A rich, deep voice with a twinge of an English accent drifted from behind her.
She whirled around. Her hair whipped against her cheeks and made her wish for the hundredth time today she hadn't packed all her hair clips.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."
The stranger paused beside the edge of the clearing, and her heart stuttered. Although no one would mistake him for a Hollywood leading man, this guy could command attention by stepping into a room. Or onto an island.
"That's okay. You didn't." She permitted her gaze to wander over him.
He kept his hands stuffed into the front pockets of faded jeans. The wind tore at his gray long-sleeved shirt, outlining the contours of a well-defined chest. Unruly light brown hair touched his collar. High cheekbones accented his deep-set eyes. Not friendly eyes, but no threat lay behind them either, at least none she could uncover.
He pulled a hand from his pocket and held it out. "Aidan Camden of Dawson Tours, your neighbor from across the water." He tipped his head toward the way he'd come. Camden. His name sounded familiar, but why? She shook his hand with a hint of hesitation. "Rachel Grant."
His fingers warmed her skin, his grip strong and confident. Awareness trailed along her arm. Then again, it could be the accent that made her skin tingle. British accents never failed to stir her emotions.
A trace of a smile danced on his lips. "Aye, the American."
Huh. "You know of me?"
A low rumble of laughter slipped from his mouth, the sound relaxing her from deep within. "Word travels fast here. I saw you paddling your way out."
Paddling? No, he'd seen her fighting with the oars. Until today, she'd never set foot on a boat, much less held an oar. But she would consider swimming across the Atlantic Ocean if it would make Nan happy.
"Tell me, Mr. Camden, are you in the habit of following foreigners?"
"No, lass, but you're all the talk of the Roker area. The mighty Grant descendant, come to see about selling the family cottage."

So I see you've stumbled your way into my political opinions. Just want to let you know ahead of time that my views do not represent the views of AtmoLife, and they especially do not represent the views of my employer. It's totally cool if you disagree with anything and everything I wrote here (hi mom). I still think you're great. This post isn't about who I wanted to win the election, but rather about why the Democrats lost and their best strategy going forward.
Rural uneducated white voters in America generally favor Republican candidates, but Donald Trump, who is not in the slightest sense a "traditional" Republican candidate, won that demographic by unprecedented margins.
Millions of distraught Hillary Clinton supporters are pointing to this as evidence of a bigoted America revealing its true colors. That is simply not the case. Trump himself is a bigot. Many of his supporters shown during his Presidential rallies are bigots; the crazies make the best news stories. The vast majority of the people who voted for Trump are not bigots. Trump owned the rural uneducated white demographic (for the sake of simplicity, we'll call them "Bubbas"). Bubbas are good people but overwhelmingly voted for Trump because of the complete systematic failure of the Democratic party to understand them.
The Bubbas can't trust Hillary Clinton, and nothing else matters to them.
The distrust is so strong that many Bubbas believe, correctly or incorrectly, that Hillary belongs in prison. Some Bubbas understand the extent of Trump's bigotry more than other Bubbas, but all Bubbas are willing to look past his character flaws, because Trump hasn't given them a reason to distrust him yet.
Some of this distrust toward Hillary stems from her personal scandals, but the vast majority of the Bubbas' distrust originates in the way they feel they are perceived by the East Coast Democratic elite. To them, Hillary represents the high-and-mighty Yankee attitude constantly looking down on them.
In order for Democrats to re-earn the trust of the Bubbas, Democrats must first stop being so damn pretentious. Referring to the Bubbas as uneducated and close-minded, even if true, is not going to earn their votes. If you're a Democrat, you need to reach out to these rural communities. Don't let your education or open-mindedness make you think you're better than them. Pitch to them how your visions of prosperity will benefit them specifically. Assure them that your progressive desires for others will not impact their traditional desires for themselves.
A simple effort to understand the Bubbas will go a long way in helping them understand Democrats. Hillary spent her entire campaign attacking Trump's bigotry rather than building herself up as someone who could be trusted. The Bubbas aren't exposed to much diversity (except those who join the military, and they REALLLLY hate Hillary), so Hillary emphasizing Trump's platform of bigotry toward marginalized groups doesn't move their empathy needles much. Once Democrats remove this distrust barrier, they can begin to have real, constructive conversations with the Bubbas about their progressive viewpoints.
This election revealed a massive lack of understanding and communication between between The Democratic elite, blue collar whites, and minority groups. To those of you from marginalized groups terror-struck by Trump's message, I love you all. You belong right here in America and deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as much as the rest of us. Personally, it's not my place to tell you what you should do going forward, as I am not from a marginalized group; I come from the Bubbas. The Bubbas will not go out of their way to understand you however. They love their small towns, each other, and their way of life. It will take your polite and humble extension of the olive branch toward the Bubbas to get them to trust you and listen.

Reputable Breeders
It happens. . . people have babies and are unable to take a dog at the time, therefore stay on the list or drop off, families run into health problems, divorces, people walk into a shelter and fall in love there, etc, etc. I just know so many reputable breeders who have lists but sometime, SOMETIMES, they DO and CAN fall through! It's really never happened to me where I was left to have to advertise my whole litter but the odd time I have had to place an ad for maybe one or two puppies of a large litter. It's never been a negative experiance for me so I guess I don't understand but I do hear what your saying. You can NEVER be too careful!

Q. I have a flat and the bathroom is smallish - with toilet/sink/bathtub. what would the average cost be if i got contractors to remove it all and install new ones, including tiling the floors, painting / wallpapering the walls / plumbing? thanks for your help.
A. We'd charge anything from 1500 to 3000 depedning upon quality of equipment being installed, the location, access and egress. Electrical installation work etc etc.. so, i'd recommend budgeting between a grand and three grand if you want a good reasonable job done!!
Q. Is it ok to use 1/o copper wire for 200 amp service i am installing central heat and air? the electrical engineer for the electric company said that it would be ok but i keep hearing different from other people.
A. The utility 'owns' that incoming wire up to your meter installation. NEC rules apply after that. Table 310.15 of the NEC applies to 'cable in conduit', and does require 2/0 Cu. or 4/0 Al. The 1/0 from your Utility is probably 'cable in free air', and different rules apply. If you're supplying the mast, weather-head, and cable down to the meter pan, I'd suggest going with the larger size for that run.

As the Mail Online put it:
A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.
The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.
The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra.
If they are found wearing a bra, they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said.
Reuters put it this way:
Residents said gunmen had been rounding up any woman seen with a firm bust and then had them publicly whipped by masked men. The women were then told to remove their bras and shake their breasts.
Both articles carry this quote:
"Al-Shabaab forced us to wear their type of veil and now they order us to shake our breasts," a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.
"They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women's chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat."
I would think that this demand that women remove their bras and shake their breasts would be against the modesty requirement of Islam. But the Reuters story includes a sad story about one man that sought to defend his sisters modesty:
Jailed for defending his sister
Abdullahi Hussein, a student in north Mogadishu, said his elder brother was thrown behind bars when he fought back a man who humiliated their sister by asking her to remove her bra.
"My brother was jailed after he wrestled with a man that had beaten my sister and forced her to remove her bra. He could not stand it," Hussein said.

Food And Wine
We all have heard, at least once, this phrase spoken by the legendary James Bond.
The British 007 has made known to the whole world the "Vesper cocktail", invented in 1953 by Ian Fleming in his novel Casino Royale.
In recent years the cocktails that set the trends and are increasingly being offered in the American bar and in the most luxurious hotels around the world are those preferred by the stars of cinema, music and art of the last century.
So, if you want to drink a good cocktail and feel like a star, here is what to order:
Hemingway Daiquiri: created by a Cuban bartender for the writer Ernest Hemingway, lover of alcohol but unfortunately diabetic. It is a normal daiquiri (made with white rum, lime juice, syrup and brown sugar), without the addition of sugar syrup. It is an "Any Time" cocktail, then tastable at any time of the day.
Cosmopolitan is the favorite cocktail of columnist Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and City (Sarah Jessica Parker). Made with Vodka, Cointreau, lime juice, Cranberry, is basically an "After Dinner" cocktail.
Mint Julep: J.Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) sips it at the Plaza Hotel. It is an American cocktail made with Whiskey Bourbon and mint. It is an "After Dinner" cocktail and has a very decided taste, suitable for whiskey lovers. It is said that Leo appreciates it also in real life.
"Our" Spritz: drunk by Robert De Niro both in the movie "Meet the Fockers" and in real life. Made with Aperol, sparkling wine and soda, this is the king of Italian aperitifs and, nowadays, even of overseas aperitifs. It is obviously a "Pre dinner" cocktail.
Mai Tai: Polynesian cocktail made with rum (white and dark), orange curacao, orgeat syrup, lime juice. Known in the world thanks to the movie Blue Hawaii starring Elvis Presley. The paper parasol decoration is a must!
Now the choice is up to you: try these or make your top 5 favorite, sipping them by the pool, by the sea or in the bar of your favorite luxury hotel!

A popular village pub near Harrogate is aiming to return to its place at heart of the community, albeit with a high quality American influence.
Famed for its mock-Tudor gable-frontage, The Black Swan near Pannal is to be relaunched in Burn Bridge next Tuesday, September 18.
New landlord Piers Stringer arrives fresh from Long Island in the United States with a huge breadth of experience across the board in catering.
Currently closed while refurbishment is completed, Piers is keen to make the reopened Black Swan a place of flexibility and variety, somewhere the whole community can enjoy coming to.
Piers said: "It isn't going to be the sort of place where you have to eat a meal or can only have a drink.
"If you just want to have a coffee in our beer garden and chat, that is fine.
"I want to build a good, family-orientated community pub where people can feel relaxed, one the villages round the pub will enjoy, too."
Originally from Pontefract, Piers, his wife Bonnie and young child moved back to the UK last year after a lengthy and successful spell in the United States.
From the 'New World' to the old but how old the Black Swan is, is a moot point.
The pub formerly displayed plans datig back to the 1900's although historians say there has been a 'hostelry on the site' since 1650 when hard-working charcoal burners would drink there.
But, although the origins of the Black Swan date back to the 17the century, it's unlikely anyone has run it before with Piers' range of experience in the industry.
Recent times have seen it go from resolutely fine dining to traditional English pub fayre.
Piers intends to make this venerable institution chime more with current times.
His desire to create a high quality middle market menu reflects his wide range of American experiences.
At one point during his lengthy stay in Long Island, he was in charge of a 100-seater restaurant and two catering halls seating 150 and 300.
He said: "The high end market in the US is delicate and showy like here but the middle market is broader and more robust with high standards and flavours influenced by barbecue and smoked foods from South America.
"I know how to make mozarella and I will be making my own bread and smoking my own meat anc cheese. The emphasise will be on homemade and on quality, whether that's pizzas or steaks."
The Black Swan has always boasted an impressively large beer garden and Piers is introducing a wide range of drinks to suit anyone's taste.
Joining a trend in the district, there will be a strong presence for real ale, craft beers, local gins and cocktails.
