Manawatu amateur Josh Munn carded a scintillating six-under par 66 to win the Lake Macquarie international amateur golf championship at Belmont in New South Wales by three shots.
Relishing the rainy, sodden conditions, the 21-year-old charged home on the back nine yesterday with an eagle on the 437m par-five 10th hole and birdies on the 12th, 13th and 17th to finish at 15-under for the tournament and beat his fellow overnight leaders, Australian Brett Drewitt and England's Nathan Kimsey, who both had rounds of three-under par 69.
Munn started with a bogey on the first hole but then birdied holes two and three. He sank a 5m putt to save his par on the final hole for the win and was swamped by congratulations from other members of the New Zealand team.
He said after the win he was in awe of following the footsteps of other winners of the championship, such as Peter O'Malley.
"I was so much in the zone I didn't feel the rain," said the New Zealand rep, who finished runner-up at the Argentine Amateur late last year.
"This is easily my most important win."
The Palmerston North golfer made history in 2012 when he became the first amateur to win two titles on the Charles Tour.
He will not get the chance to compete this week at the Charles Tour's Lawnmaster Classic, on his home track at the Manawatu Golf Club, as he has been selected to represent New Zealand in the inaugural Ten Nations Cup in South Africa.
He said he had no immediate plans to turn professional but wanted to play against the best amateurs in the US and Europe.
Meanwhile, Michael Hendry fell one shot short of involving himself in a playoff at the inaugural Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour of Australasia in Victoria yesterday.
Hendry took a one-shot lead into the final round of the $A130,000 event on the back of a third round 64 but could only manage a one-over par 73, including a bogey at the 17th hole, to finish at 13-under for the tournament.
Australian David Bransdon prevailed in a three-way playoff after finishing at 14-under 274 alongside compatriots Max McCardle and Lucas Herbert.
Gareth Paddison was the next best of the Kiwis, finishing tied for seventh at eight-under.
Closer to home, an eight-birdie blitz by North Harbour's Richard Lee in the final round of the Ekatahuna-Masterton Pro-Am at Masterton not only set a new course record but it also catapulted him to the win in the two-round New Zealand PGA tournament.
His round consisted of nine threes and nine fours, a 63 going with the earlier Eketahuna round of 66 for a total of 129.
The first day leader, Daniel Pearce of Ashburton, scored a four-under 67 which alongside his earlier 64 left him on 131 and two shots back of Lee.
Kieran Muir of Omokoroa was three-under on 68, with his first day 66 making it a total of 134 and seeing him take third place from Jared Pender (69 68).

Plot Summary:
Based on "The Lonely Dog," a limited-edition book of paintings done by Queenstown artist Ivan Clarke.
Clarke hatched the project when he left his dog alone, caught the look on the pooch's face and painted a fully clothed character with a lonely look on its mug.
He made a series of paintings that caught the attention of Weta Workshop's Richard Taylor, winner of five Oscars for his visual effects work on "The Lord of the Rings" films and King Kong. Together, Clarke and Taylor hatched a mythology for the character that became "Lonely Dog."

It's round ligament pain, all your insides moving and stretching. I get it too sometimes, I find holding my belly or curling into fetal position helps a lot. I got it bad the other night cause I jumped out of bed too fast cause I thought I heard my son crying. Joys of pregnancy!

 that family is gonna kill their grandpa for disgracing them... especially on television... ut him down... when they shit themselves when they are old... its time...
Ok I just wanna say it's fake: All the persons in this clip are actors for a show called "In De Gloria" from Belgium. It was one of the best episodes and those stupid Germans thought it was for real. This proves that Belgium rulez and Germans are dumb (and suck at making war)
We've all been there right folks.......: (cricket noise) right? Who among us hasn't pooped all over the freakin place at a time of excitement. Why it was just last week there was a sale at the Kwik E Mart and I blew poop all over the beef jerky isle....Embarassing, maybe....Human, definately....Repeatable, Most assuredly
lmao: you can tell from his face that he was trying to hold it in, but it popped out. Then he realizes that his family sees all this, and he cries. whatever theyre german they deserve it. Aryan bastards. by the way am i the only one who sees how harsh the german language is? just the way it sounds?
hahahaha: Laughing stock. Fuckin disgrace to his family. hahahahahaha Techno viking powering up
In de Gloria: Yes, Belgian TV-show (in flemish language), fragment of a small series of hillarious scetches. The actors realy go beyond themselves, gives the impression that they suck, well.....they don't ! Go Nuttballs!
I'm not exactly sure because of the language difference: but I think that voice near the end is the lady complaining because all the habanero burritos that she was saving for later have gone missing from her backpack.
Haha: this is from one of belgiums greatest television shows "in de gloria", where they always create hilarious situations with black humour..
is it just me: or does the guy jumping look like the writer from A Clockwork Orange when Alex is raping his wife?
I've seen this on television: it is belgian indeed and the purpose was to make a fake humoristiq clip with bad acting persons. ofcourse this is fake .
FAKE: This is a skrtch from a Belgian televisionshow. There are the same actors as the video where the host laughts at the man with the high voice
Humor: I think you are the only one who thinks it's German! The language they speak is Flemish (Belgium) This is not real. It's something like 'little Britain' = humour. This is called "In the Gloria†(more on "you tubeâ€) Hilarious!
wow: i was thinkin that looked like someone singing in the rain lalala and lol at the family being there i bet he was imberassed
Bad acting?: Oke, maybe they are acting bad, but they're not bad actors! Tom Van Dyck? Lucas Van den Eynde? Frank Focketyn? I'm think not.
lol noob...: the lenguage theyre speaking is blegian or dutch and the subtitles are german. stfu
knucklehead: Use must really be an idiot because this video is in a foreign language...get an education you moron!!

The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous centers understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of a skills assessment using diagnostic tools and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. Camps and after-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
Koko FitClub's automated personal-training system rockets both men and women toward fitness goals with 30-minute custom workouts that incorporate cardio and strength training. An initial consultation determines fitness levels and baseline measurements, which Koko's computerized equipment uses to design a tailored workout plan that precisely measures the weight, pace, and rest time appropriate for each exerciser.
The Koko machines guide exercisers through each workout and adapt as the user's fitness needs change in order to constantly challenge the body. Designed by professional trainers, workouts maximize the body's lean-muscle mass, which can boost metabolism and help fight off disease by challenging viruses to kickboxing matches. Exercisers can track their shrinking waistlines and swelling muscles online by analyzing workout scores and comparing individual fitness levels to the Koko FitClub community.
From karaoke nights and dart team bouts to DJs spinning every Wednesday–Saturday, The Cellar Tavern keeps diners constantly amused with nightly entertainment. As sports scores flicker across the pub's five flat-screen TVs and the television on its outdoor patio, chefs in the kitchen keep revelry in session with a wealth of pub classics. They crown burgers with ingredients such as chipotle mayo and homemade chili, or sprinkle build-your-own pizzas with toppings such as feta cheese and scallops. Diners can tuck into pub favorites, such as a pastrami and swiss sandwich, fish 'n' chips with deep-fried haddock, and craft homemade onion rings.
Raynham Athletic Club is a family-oriented club with classes for all ages. In addition to a full weight room stocked with Hammer Strength weights, resistance machines, and Cybex circuit-training machines, the club also has a cardio theater populated with Precor machines including treadmills, stationary bikes, and ellipticals. For guided fitness, trainers lead personal-training sessions as well as more than 15 group exercise classes such as yoga, Pilates, Zumba, basic fitness, aqua aerobics, and kids' fitness.
On a sprung bamboo floor, the dance instructors at Ancient Art Studios lead groups and individual students through routines in the various forms of belly dance. Inside the spacious and warmly hued studio, where large mirrors let visitors watch their body postures, staff members also hosts troupe rehearsals, special workshops, and recitals.

Travel: Where are all the real travellers?
Next week sees the start of the Independent Travellers' World tour. By Jeremy Atiyah
It's January again: all the old holiday arguments are back - just in time for Independent Travellers' World (ITW), that annual coming-together of "real" travellers which begins its tour of Britain next week.
Everybody is supposed to know that independent travel is sexier than a package holiday: heroic individuals fighting against the hapless conformists; the real travellers against the effete tourists.
But with guidebooks now mapping the entire world, and the travel industry training its sights on the "independent" market, what future is there for seriously independent travellers, for those who, in the old days, would have set out into the world without the faintest idea of where they were going or why?
Some of us have tried to do this. I once set off on foot from my home town, Oxford, with the idea that it would nice to make my way to Hong Kong without a guidebook or a map. On the third day, somewhere near Le Havre, I gave up and caught a flight.
A big worry is that the package holiday seems to have stolen the clothes of independent travel. After all, although the term "package holiday" can still conjure up images of group brain-death, many "packages" are in fact tailor-made for individuals, who will travel as individuals.
Companies such as Trailfinders - which started out as a flight agent - can now book all internal travel, transfers and accommodation for you as well. But can travellers whose entire itinerary is mapped out in advance call themselves "independent"?
"Yes they can," a Trailfinders spokesman said. "You might call them packages, but they are packages designed by the travellers themselves. The efficiency of the tailor-made package enables people who only have two weeks holiday to travel in the same style as backpackers who have limitless time. Partly this is thanks to computers. Thirty years ago, booking a hotel in Delhi or Bangkok was costly and uncertain. Now it can be arranged in seconds."
That sounds reasonable enough, but what about the explosion of local tour operators? These days even hardened backpackers are falling prey to local tour operators, taking organised day trips with little entrepreneurs in deepest Asia of a type that would send their 1970s ancestors turning in their kaftans.
Tourism Concern, a pressure group which encourages responsible tourism, is desperately keen to promote this phenomenon. It has set up a website listing worldwide local tour operators which have no resources of their own to promote their services.
"Of course we are anxious about the impact of package tourism on the countries where it occurs, but roving backpackers can be just as bad," explains Sue Wheat of Tourism Concern. "Many local people in developing countries actually prefer package tourists who not only spend more, but can also be better controlled. Unlike backpackers, package tourists do not go poking their noses into places where they are not wanted."
Are there any "real" backpackers left? Or are they following hippies down history's plughole? In Britain at any rate, the cautious Nineties do not seem to hold much of a place for the culture of purposeless travel.
"Travelling independently still gives you that sense of achievement," argues Jennifer Cox of Lonely Planet. "I liken it to an assertiveness training course with geography. Going it alone makes you feel good about yourself."
Achievement? But haven't guide books made everything too easy for people? Don't they have the same effect as the package tourism industry, of shepherding everyone around the same sights?
"Not at all," says Jennifer Cox. "Independent travel carries on regardless of the books we publish. We give people the ability to do it themselves. With a good guide, you can travel more safely, more enjoyably and more frequently. Which is not to say that independent travel is a matter of honour. It's about enjoying yourself. All that stuff about not being a real traveller unless you do everything by yourself is rubbish. An all- inclusive holiday in an entire fortnight strikes me as quite a nice idea actually."
Setting off alone into the horizon with a packet of dry biscuits in your plastic bag may strike you as even nicer, but perhaps this is the point: that the old division between independent travellers and package tourists is old hat. See you at ITW.
ITW visits the London Arena Exhibition Centre on 30,31 January and 1 February; the Watershed Media Centre on 7,8 February; and the Mnachester G-Mex Centre on 21,22 February. Tel 0171 341 6691 or visit the website, www.itwnet.com, for more information

Moving into a position of authority means meeting new challenges, taking on new responsibilities, and mastering new skills. It also puts you in line for greater rewards at work including positive recognition from peers and higher-ups, increased job satisfaction, and better benefits. That's all well and good, but as a new supervisor, you may feel overwhelmed by all your new responsibilities, anxious about the transition, and stressed out about moving from "coworker" to "boss."
You may worry about the way others will react to your new supervisor status … have concerns about keeping up with a tougher workload … and wonder how to handle the new tasks you will be faced with: hiring, disciplinary action, even firing.
This supervisory training course was specifically designed to address the needs of anyone who is new to managing others. What you learn in this class will arm you with a powerful new set of skills, strategies, and techniques for dealing with the issues you will encounter as you take on your new position and move forward in your career.
You will find out how to relate well to former peers who are now your subordinates, and you'll learn the communication skills that will help you handle these changing relationships in a way that's comfortable for everyone. You'll discover secrets for motivating and encouraging people to do their "personal best" for you, and find out how to discipline firmly and fairly, without creating resentment. This supervisory training will not only show you how to positively influence the behavior of your employees, but also reveal ways to handle negative forces such as gossip, rumors, and poor attitudes.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Proposed Schedule
by Paul on 11/27/07 at 10:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Toronto Sun,
As the league's big shots gather on the picturesque Monterey Peninsula, an alteration in the NHL schedule will be first and foremost on the agenda.
The format expected to get proposed would see teams play their four division rivals six times each (24 total games); the other 10 teams in their conference four times each (40 total games); and the 15 teams in the other conference each once (15 total games), adding up to a total of 79 games.
The other three games are believed to be wild-card tilts against teams in the other conference, thereby completing the 82-game sked.
more * And I do hope the schedule is changed and doesn't get turned down by some hardliners in the East.

Peter Nygard- Nygard Cay, Bahamas
Since private islands are the pinnacle of style, it comes as no surprise that a famous fashion designer is found among our celebrity island owners. Located just off of Lyford Cay in the Bahamas, womenswear tycoon Peter Nygard's island is a 4.2 acre paradise with endless white beaches, palm groves and a stunning 10-bedroom residence that "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" host Robin Leach once described as "the most unusual villa rental in the world". Combining a Mayan aesthetic sensibility with the top luxuries afforded by the modern world, no expense was spared in the creation of Nygard Cay, as its long list of celebrity guests could definitely attest. So how much does it cost to have it to yourself for a week? The price is given on request only, so if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

John Ary's Aint It Scary Reviews #21 Of 31!! EQUINOX!!
John Ary here with another installment of Ain't It Scary Reviews. Today, a group of young adults find a mysterious book in the woods that could unleash the powers of hell upon the world.
It started off as a student film, made for just $6,500 by a future Oscar winner. It was later picked up by a small production company, additional footage was added and it became Equinox. Considered by several as a forefather of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, it shares many similarities. It involves an evil book, there's a cabin in the woods, people become possessed and there are some really fun monsters.
When four young adults head into the woods to find their missing scientist friend, they stumble upon a dangerous situation. The scientist's cabin has been destroyed, there is a creepy park ranger that follows them around, a mysterious castle has sprung up out of nowhere and a crazy old man in a cave presents them with a strange book. From there the young people are stalked, possessed, run over with cars, and attacked by large stop-motion creatures.
If it sounds hokey, it is. The acting isn't particularly memorable. All of the lines have been overdubbed. Sometimes you'll notice changes in costumes or the length in sideburns from one sequence to the next. These are all things you might expect from a student film.
Despite its flaws, the movie is really fun to watch. The pacing feels crisp with the action and exposition balanced well. While I didn't particularly care about any of the four main characters, you can't help but smile to see them put through the ringer. The film has this whimsical air of mystery about it. Each perilous situation they encounter is a bit unexpected and filled an earnest charm. When the filmmakers reveal the demonic creatures, they have a fun playfulness to them. You can tell they were crafted with love. This isn't somebody's 9 to 5 job, but rather a passion project made by a group of devoted Ray Harryhauesen fans. Also, did I mention it features Frank Bonner from WKRP in Cincinatti? Where else can you watch AM radio's sleaziest sales manager battling a giant demon troll?
It would be easy to watch a couple of minutes of grainy footage from Equinox and quickly write it off as a lame student project. That would be a shame. The film's original director Dennis Muren relied on his young filmmaking instincts to craft an engaging horror story. Muren would go on later to major special effects work like the bike scene in E.T. and the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. Another director was brought in later to help add some scenes and he also played the creepy park ranger. Together they've crafted a horror movie that is technically flawed on several levels, but it's the surprises that make it worth a watch.
Equinox is currently streaming on Hulu. It's also available on a Criterion DVD here.
Check back in tomorrow for another Ain't It Scary Review as seven people stuck in a rural farmhouse fight off an onslaught of zombies.

Most of the movies being reviewed are more campy than scary.
Saw this at a drive-in theater. It wasn't scary, but it was fun to watch, if for no other reason then to make fun of each character's demise. This kind of 'no-way-out' film was typical of drive-in horror films back then. Several other 'classics around the same time were "Frogs" featuring a ghost-riding caretaker and "Sssssss" in which you can see the real Starbuck go from nice guy to cobra commander or something like that.

EQUINOX may seem like a "forefather" to EVIL DEAD, but both films are very much inspired by the writings of H P Lovecraft.
by Mark Williams
...the Heir of Mystery?
(Some say "aire", but it's "air".)
It's fun. It took me years to remember it from my childhood, when I watched it on late-night TV, and was freaked.
Who the fuck is Dennis Murren?
Special thanks to criticalbill and jimbocop for picking up a couple of awful terrible typos. We'll get them fixed ASAP. Thanks again and sorry for the shoddy copy editing.

By the way, there wasn't eight minutes between my post...
by MovieManStill
...and criticlbill's. What is it with your AICN clock?
Lack of Hammer horror so far on this topic not a good sign.
I believe this featured some of his earliest work did it not?
i love this movie, and they likely get put through a "wringer", not a "ringer", because they'd have to fit inside a phone for that to work.
probably thinking of Gargoyles.
…sounded apologetic. I don't think Equinox needs it. Nor should anyone's reason for seeing it rest solely on the filmmaker's subsequent successes. It's a fantastic, fun film. If you can't have a good time watching Equinox without making adjustments to your expectations or keeping in mind considerations, then I don't think you're much of a fan of film.
were really well done. Fun movie with creepy undertones. I like this series. And I second Horror of Dracula and it's unforgettable final battle. At the last minute Van Helsing leaps and... you gotta see it.

Village extends insurance contract through 2014
By Ryan Ottney
Ryan Scott Ottney
PDT Staff Writer
During a special meeting of the New Boston Village Council on Monday, members of council voted to extend their current agreement with Portsmouth Insurance Agency through December 2014.
New Boston Mayor James Warren said the village's contract with the insurance agency otherwise would have expired in June 2014. By extending it until December, he said, it will allow the village to continue offering health insurance to village employees at its current rate. Extending the agreement, Warren said, will also allow the village more time to realize the full effect that national health care reform, commonly known as Obamacare, will have on village coverage and rates.
The New Boston Village Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of every month, at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers of the Vern Riffe Community Center, on Rhodes Avenue in New Boston. The next regular meeting of New Boston Council will be Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Market guide | Zillow predicts 73026 home values will increase 4.8% next year, compared to a 2.3% rise for Cleveland as a whole. Among 73026 homes, this home is valued 5.6% less than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 33.3% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the 73026 market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold climbed 2% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 34.9% less than in Cleveland, and 66.7% lower than the national average. This lower local number could help 73026 home values rise more quickly than other regions in Cleveland. Learn more about forecast calculations or 73026 home values.… MoreLess |

Analysis of Ordinances, Rules and Policies In an effort to evaluate the consistency of existing local governmental ordinances applicable to this WMP, research was conducted to identify and compare specific the municipalities and Kalamazoo County. Ordinances referenced for the City of Portage, City of Kalamazoo and Texas Township are available on-line through the Municode system. Links can be found at the home website of each municipality (www.portagemi.com, www.ci.kalamazoo.mi.us, www.texastownship.org). Oshtemo Township does not yet have their codes available on the internet. Sanitary codes (septic systems) and the Storm water Management Rules for Kalamazoo County are available on-line at www.kalcounty.com. From the home page, navigate to Departments/Human Services/Health Department for the sanitary codes. Navigate to Departments/Administration/Drain Commissioner for the storm water rules. A table of ordinances, available on the project website, includes citations for ordinances pertaining to watershed management for each municipality, organized by topic. The Kalamazoo Metropolitan County Planning Commission adopted Policy Statements on February 4, 1999, the most pertinent of which address Land Use Planning Policy, Land Development Control Policy and Community Facilities Policy. Many of the elements addressed in the table are referenced within these Policy Statements, available from the county. It is worth noting those areas where intergovernmental coordination currently exists: • utilities • mutual aid agreements • transit, roads • solid waste • environmental protection • economic development • recreation Included among discussed topics of intergovernmental cooperation have been: • • • • • water and wastewater/utilities well head protection/planning land use/zoning environmental quality concerning the Kalamazoo River recreation/river trailways No coordination currently exists for land use zoning. A locally developed project, formerly Convening the Community and now Convening for Action at www.kzoo.edu/convene, is lead by Dr. Kiran Cunningham and Dr. Hannah McKinney. This project is directed toward smart land use and growth issues. Maps of existing land uses and proposed land uses for each municipality in Kalamazoo County have been integrated in a set of GIS formatted maps. Meetings have been held with participation from a wide diversity of stakeholders. Identification of what participants believe to be areas worthy of preservation, unique character or distinction have been located and mapped. One goal is to have a unified, county-wide land-use mapping program to allow visualization of land use impacts (positive and negative). The intrinsic link between land use and water quality should be exploited as a means for furthering intergovernmental coordination. This watershed management planning process has illustrated the willingness of multijurisdictional partners to share information and seek solutions of mutual benefit. The following key categories are addressed by each municipalities' ordinances: • • • • • • • • • storm water management erosion control illicit connections groundwater protection discharges to storm sewers land development regulations Site Plan Review littering on land and water landscape issues Groundwater pumping is allowable only by a permit from the county. The county has oversight of private sanitary and sewage disposal systems. The county also operates a hazardous waste collection program, which helps to keep those types of materials from impacting the watershed. The Cities of Portage and Kalamazoo have their own designated Part 91 Soil Erosion and Sedimentation compliance personnel, while the townships rely upon the Drain Commissioner, as the County Agent designated to fulfill these obligations for them. Wetlands issues are the purveyance of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and/or the US Army Corps of Engineers. Comprehensive Plans for each of the four municipalities are quite current. Oshtemo's Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1993 and has been frequently amended. The City of Kalamazoo's Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1998 and their Zoning Ordinances are currently undergoing updating and rewriting. Texas Township adopted their Comprehensive Plan in late 1999, and the City of Portage is in the final stages (September 2002) of adopting a revised Plan. Portage is also revising their Zoning Ordinances to reflect alterations within the Comprehensive Plan. All four jurisdictions incorporate the use of Site Plan Review Committees to ensure compliance with necessary ordinances for residential projects of greater than three units on the same parcel and for all commercial/industrial proposals. The City of Kalamazoo has perhaps the most comprehensive landscaping ordinance in the area, which could serve as a model for others. In conclusion, while a noteworthy effort has already been made within each of these jurisdictions for many of the key elements related to the success of a watershed management plan, there remains need for additional progress. It is both beneficial and desirable for each to understand the ordinances of the others and their cumulative implications in relation to land use and watershed planning. Recommendations include: • • • • Steering Committee formation of a sub-committee to consider overlay zoning, Evaluation by other units of government of the recent City of Kalamazoo TMDL Ordinance and the Kalamazoo County Soil Erosion Program and Storm Water Management Rules for their own adoption, Consideration of the TMDL Implementation Plan elements as found at http://www.kalamazooriver.net/tmdl/implement/Implementation_text.PDF, Development criteria for shoreline protection that address shoreline, shoreline buffers, shoreline protection areas and watershed concerns where applicable through: o o o o o o o o o o vegetation targets for each zone (e.g., maintain as natural - undisturbed, forest/natives, view corridors, limits to clearing, buffer guidelines), allowable uses (e.g., bioengineering, 1 dock/lot, 1 stairway/lot, walkways, boathouses, view corridors, residences, septic systems), restricted uses (e.g., docks, boathouses, structures, rip rap, bulkheads), on-site wastewater treatment options (e.g., not allowed, setback distances), storm water (e.g., no new outfalls or contributions, on-site design criteria, sediment and phosphorus reduction guidelines), lot requirements (e.g., minimum size, frontage, impervious cover, roof runoff, open space % for developments), zoning (e.g., limited residential, resource protected, stream protection, limited commercial, general development), enforcement (e.g., local or state permit, local development review process), education ( e.g., local groups, public, resource agency, watershed organization), see related links at http://www.kalamazooriver.net/pa319new/link.htm. • Review of Phase II permit consistencies, • Consideration of the use of two-stage storm water retention systems, • Efficacy and costs of upland treatment options, • A future comprehensive water resources protection ordinance that will address many of the related issues currently isolated, scattered or not recognized, • A policy or ordinance that establishes phosphorus limits on or outright bans the use of phosphorus in residential and commercial fertilizers (non-agricultural), and • Provide presentations to local units of government to obtain their buy-in to these overall recommendations and observations. The likely o utcome will be a more coordinated, comprehensive effort at evaluating and using limited resources while providing maximum oversight for the interface of riparian biotic and human communities.

You and your boyfriend, Antonio, have been together since High School when he first confessed. Most of it was expected since both of you were childhood friends and both of you were really sweet together.
Although High School was a bit hard because of all his fan girls flocking before him, it was certain that his eyes were none other than- but on yours.

Not trying to make it complicated, just that he's the one doing the cooking and cleaning, while you do the fixing and buying.
Today, you two were being childish; playing with each other namely from a board game- which you cheated on, but never admitted it.
As it turned into a teasing game, "You're being naughty, (Name)..." Tony set away the gaming board, touch your hip with his cold hand under your shirt and giving you a

Your mind was engulfed in music as you baked sweet treats for your loving husband and his younger brother for when they arrived home. A precious love that couldn't be phased by anything was held between you and your Spanish lover.
Your hands moved skillfully and swiftly as you poured the exact amount of sugar into the cookie batter. Humming along to the blaring music, you cracked two eggs into the bowl and dashed a bit of vanilla into the batter.
Suddenly, you heard the door open and your lips twitched up into a huge smile.
"I'm home~!" you heard your husband's beautiful voice call out.
You picked up the rubber scraper, covered in cookie dough and held it behind your back. With a welcoming smile, you sauntered lovingly out of the kitchen to greet your unbelievably handsome husband.

"Listen , Antonio. (Name) is your woman, not mine , so solve your own damn problem." Romano hissed at Spain. Spain whimpered and dropped his head in disappoinment.

After an enormous amount of begging and whining, you had finally agreed to take her to the nearby park. Her green eyes grew big as the two of you neared the crowded park.
