I think the gift idea is a great gesture. Everyone likes to feel appreciated and know that what they have done is great. PinkNC 5 years Giving them a cute card that they can hang on the wall and smile at a few times, yes....going all out for them when you know they are not going to remember you after about 2 weeks, no. 5 years Our labor and delivery nurses were amazing. I can't imagine not saying thank you to someone who plays such an intimate role in your families life. Even a card showing your gratitude is plenty, and very appreciated by your nurses. Yes, it is their job, but how many of you can say that you touch peoples lives in such an intimate way, at such an important time. Sarana 5 years This seems like another examples of the over the top US tipping system... MissSushi 5 years I have never understood the gifts for the nurses thing, but then again none of my nurses during my day long labor or 3 day stay were anything more then curt. Plus, I agree, its their job, and not one they depend on tips to pay the bills with, so i dont agree with gifts as a general rule, espeically since you see like 20 different nurses during your stay. I hardly saw the same nurse at all. I had one nurse that sat there with me for her entire shift, but she looked jazzed at the opportunity to sit on her rear for 8 hours. I think there are other experiences that more warrent a gift. Hospital stays like NICU and severe diseases for children - they often have only 2 nurses that split shifts the entire time, so its more of a personal experience. 5 years i hate to be rude, but isn't that their job? granted, some of mine over the 23 hours went above and beyond, but the key words there are "some of mine" denoting the fact that i had more than 1. more like 5 due to changing shifts, and maybe more. that's a lot of gifts.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Marriott International Incorporated has formally approved the model rooms for the Marriott Pere Marquette in Downtown Peoria.
After being rejected once for small features like wall and carpet coloring, developers have received approval for the new hotel.
The estimated completion date is set for April 30, missing the city's deadline of March.
Developers say they are optimistic with their schedule and are looking for everything to speed up following Marriott's approval.
"It's a milestone and to build a project like this you have to look for the milestones. It's like taking one step after another. And steps are starting to be faster and bigger," said Developer Gary Matthews.
Prices for a room in the new hotel are expected to be as low as $159.
A registration date for a room is still unknown.

355ml bottle pored into pint glass 4/4/14 (from notes)
A clear amber saturated with bubbles, dense tan foam has good retention slowly falling to a thick film leaving lots of random lace
S nutty, roasty, herbal, lots of cereal very malty but it works, I even get some faint chocolate, some fruity notes but mostly malt
T mimics the smell quite well, bread and biscuit, tastes like English malt and hops, I'd never guess Citra, Amarillo, Cascade and Simcoe
M medium bodied and very creamy, some metallic notes on the finish
O not what I expected but this one grew on me as I drank it, malty for the style but it worked well for it
I thought I grabbed another hopped up pale ale but this one strays from the norm, more of a red ale to me but enjoyable beer no matter how you brand it

Bottle: standard 330mL dark brown bottle, reasonable craft label (except it's pink!).
Appearance: heavy copper-gold in colour with moderate carbonation and a thin white head. Exceptional retention with some lacing as the head slowly sinks to a solid cap.
Aroma: citrus and pine hops with a touch of sweet malts. Not overly hopped however, which suits.
Taste: follows the nose pretty closely. Pine and citrus with some sweet malts, not much else to say. Refreshing.
Aftertaste: dry on the finish with some of the hop bitterness coming through.
Mouth feel: a well-balanced mouth feel: crisp and smooth but with a bit of bite.
Overall: pretty good beer, standard version of an American Pale Ale. Not sure it is worth the $70 a case price (2013).

F: Medium body, crisp, smooth and refreshing. Very well balanced.
O: Enjoyable beer that goes down easy. Nothing fancy jus a very good beer.

4 Pines, interesting name with no doubt some overly elaborate name story, not that I care about that; the beer is what I'm keen to learn about. It stands right in the middle of APA territory at 5.10% ABV and could easily be mistaken for one of the many in the recent cavalcade of "craft" APA's being brewed in Australia now, well I can't get enough of them so let us proceed.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a nonic pint... it looks a bit glass half full here, dammit when will other brewers here start selling pint bottles like LCPA?
A: A typical pale ale look; deep cloudy amber body with an off-white head that dissipates from 1cm to a light lacy foam. Not bad at all.
S: Rich caramel biscuit malts and a nice citrus hop aroma waft gleefully from the glass. All textbook here. A little light on the hops than expected of the style, however this will only be an issue if the taste is lacklustre in the hops department.
T: The caramel biscuit malts are there up front, rounded off by some citric hops and a refreshingly clean dry bitter finish. Good, but not great. Nothing really screams out with the flavours, it's a measured affair in this brew, shame- it smacks of an overly cautious brewer not wanting to ruffle any feathers, and I for one enjoy a good feather ruffling. Oh well.
M: Again very measured medium body with mid to light carbonation, feathers not ruffled.
D: It is however (as a result of being such a measured APA) easy to drink. I will give it points for that and if I was offered one at a party or event I certainly wouldn't say 'no'. My only complaint is the restraint shown by the brewer to create a non-challenging pale ale... it's not necessarily a huge let-down, but it does keep it away from scoring as well as other APA's like LCPA or Murray's. Keep at it though 4 Pines; you'll get there one day.
Food match: Normally for a pale ale I would recommend Indian or Asian cuisine, however this brew is a bit lighter in the flavour department and would side perfectly with BBQ chicken and salad or perhaps a Caesar salad.

Bottle from Purvis. From notes.
A - Poured bright with a light copper colour. White soapy head at one finger and good carbonation with some spotty lace and a half finger of retention.
S - Light hop, slight grass and mild tropical fruit.
T - Good citrus, tropical fruit, quite fruity. Light yeat recognizable malt body.
M - Good carbonation, light to medium body and a light but nice bitterness.
O/D - Not overly interesting. Typical for an Aussie Pale Ale. Subdued but solid otherwise.

A brown to dark copper pour with 1 finger of creamy frothy head.A fine bead
Smells oh honey and stewed stone fruits
The late palate had an inkling of pine rerin , which added a pleasant cleansing quality
It was dry in the mouth and the aforementied fine bead was noted as a balanced carbonation
AI thought this was a rippingly good drink

LAPEL, Ind. — Lapel junior quarterback Brady Cherry was lighting up the scoreboard Friday night before Mother Nature lit up the sky, suspending the Bulldogs' annual rivalry game with the Frankton Eagles with nine minutes left in the third quarter.
The game will resume Saturday at noon at Lapel. The Bulldogs will restart the game with possession of the ball and a 38-20 lead over the Eagles.
One needs only to look at Cherry's stat line to see how Lapel built its 18-point margin. Having not yet registered an official play in the second half, Cherry is 13-of-20 for 298 yards and four touchdowns. This includes TD passes of 15 yards to Joe Hart, 52 yards to Bailey Partington, 63 yards to Hart and 65 yards to Austin Schilke. Cherry also has 83 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, including a 50-yard scoring run on the Bulldogs' opening drive.
The junior, playing his first year of high school football, was a holding penalty away from adding his seventh touchdown of the night on a 15-yard pass to Partington when the first flash of lightning caught the referee's eye.
Frankton was able to match Lapel's opening drive with a touchdown of its own, scoring on a 3-yard run by Nik Clark, who leads the Eagles in rushing with 73 yards. The extra point gave Frankton a 7-6 lead with five minutes left in a first quarter that took almost an hour to play. But three quick Lapel touchdowns, one following an onside kick, put the Eagles in the hole 24-7 by the end of the first.
Frankton finally got back on the board early in the second quarter. Quarterback Brayden Ginder tossed a 58-yard bomb to freshman Jack Rogers just a minute and 15 seconds into the second. The Eagles trailed 24-13.
Lapel immediately regained their margin on the 63-yard TD by Hart, who led all receivers with 114 yards. The Eagles answered with a 30-yard touchdown toss from Ginder to Rogers. But Cherry's 65-yard pass Schilke, who had 100 receiving yards, put the Bulldogs up 38-20 at halftime.
Ginder was 7-of-11 for 132 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Tiger Woods blamed a balky putter for leading him to his highest-ever third-round score as a professional in a U.S. Open and knocking him out of the hunt for his 15th major championship. He shot a 77 in 1996 as an amateur and missed the cut.
"It is certainly frustrating, because I certainly was feeling like I was playing well this week and I just didn't make the putts I needed to make," Woods told reporters after shooting a 6-over 76. "I missed a boatload of putts within 10 feet."
With one of those misses a two-footer for par on the 16th, it's difficult to argue with Woods' analysis of a game that had him 10 shots behind 54-hole leader Phil Mickelson heading into Sunday's finale at tough and tight Merion Golf Club.
Woods has struggled all week with the speed of the greens and 36 putts on his long day (96 for the week) proved his point.
"I didn't make anything today," Woods said. "I just couldn't get a feel for [the greens], some putts were slow, some were fast and I had a tough time getting my speed right."
But it was more than his shortest stick that had the world No. 1 going backwards on moving day. Woods has hit 79 percent of fairways and 67 percent of greens in regulations so far, but his short game in general has been a mess.
A chunked chip on No. 6 was a microcosm of his woes, but Woods blamed bad luck at the fifth for changing his day into a nightmare.
"I think the five really turned my round around," Woods said about the bogey after his drive split the fairway but found a divot. "I drove it right in the middle of the fairway and I end up in a ball mark from somebody else's ball mark, so it was kind of the way it went."
His second shot was short, and after putting up a slope, he missed an eight-footer. Even on the 98-yard par-3 13th, which played as the second-shortest hole in Open history, Woods could not convert for birdie, which was the score of a third of the field.
Woods' day started out on a high note, with a birdie on the first. But that was it for the highlight reel, as the oddsmakers' prohibitive favorite coming into the week looked nothing like the world-beater who has won four PGA Tour events in 2013. Seven bogeys later, including three in his first six holes and, fittingly on the last, had Tiger in a tie for 31st and a familiar place of late -- scuffling on the weekend of a major.
The 14-time major champion, who coughed up any chance of breaking his five-year major-less drought, has not had a sub-70 round on Saturday and Sunday of a major since the final round of the 2011 Masters (67). His scoring average on weekends of the big contests last year was almost three strokes higher than in the opening two rounds, according to GolfChannel.com's Jay Coffin.
He shared the 36-hole lead at last year's U.S. Open, only to finish with a 5-over 75. His closing-round 73 gave him a week-long total of 7-over and a share of 21st place. He began this Saturday four shots from the top but will start Sunday as just one of the also-rans punching the clock.
Tiger Woods shot 66 in the 2nd round at the 2010 U.S. Open. He is +14 on Saturday in majors since.— Justin Ray (@JRayESPNGolf) June 15, 2013
Tiger Woods has failed to break 70 in his last 11 weekend rounds in a major. Takes himself out of US Open running with 3rd rd 76.— Kelly Tilghman (@KellyTilghmanGC) June 15, 2013
Woods even fell short of his scuffling Nike teammate, Rory McIlroy, who's still seeking his first win of the year. The two have teed it up a slew of times together but this week marked the first time they were in the same group in a major. Playing even in the opening rounds (73-70), the guys got a bonus round on Saturday, with McIlroy finally getting the better of Woods, albeit by one measly stroke.
While Tiger fans had hopes that he might overcome an elbow injury and triumph as he did on a broken leg at the 2008 Open, NBC's Johnny Miller gave him zero odds of pulling off similar heroics.
"His chances for this U.S. Open are toast," according to Miller (and everyone else, including girlfriend Lindsey Vonn, judging by her furrowed brow as hubby played himself out of contention).
"A 76, what was he thinking?" L.Vonn on Tiger's 3rd round which played him out of @usopengolf #Merion pic.twitter.com/tzxImJLtzH— Luke Elvy (@elvisgolf) June 15, 2013
So Woods will surely leave Merion still seeking that elusive 15th major W and look to the British Open at Muirfield in July as his next opportunity to put a dent in Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major victories. It's a goal for the 37-year-old Woods that grows increasingly less attainable with each passing grand slam event in which he's outside the winner's circle.

The Jerusalem Chords Bridge, Israel, was built to make way for the city's light rail train system. Its design took into consideration more than just utility — it is a work of art, designed as a monument. Its beauty rests not only in the visual appearance of its criss-cross cables, but also in the mathematics that lies behind it. So let's take a deeper look at it.
The number 1 can be written as a sum of unit fractions, that is fractions with 1 in the numerator. But how long can we make such a sum?
Some of the things I overheard at Stephen Hawking's 70th birthday conference did make me wonder whether I hadn't got the wrong building and stumbled in on a sci-fi convention. "The state of the multiverse". "The Universe is simple but strange". "The future for intelligent life is potentially infinite". And — excuse me — "the Big Bang was just the decay of our parent vacuum"?!
This is the second part of the lecture given by Astronomer Royal Martin Rees at Stephen Hawking's birthday symposium.

Most of us think that we have the capacity to act freely. Our sense of morality, our legal system, our whole culture is based on the idea that there is such a thing as free will. It's embarrassing then that classical physics seems to tell a different story. And what does quantum theory have to say about free will?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is asking a judge to allow his defamation lawsuit against slain "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle to go forward by substituting Kyle's widow as the defendant.
In part of the book, Kyle claims he decked Ventura in 2006 over unpatriotic remarks he says Ventura made. Ventura says the punch never happened.
Attorneys for Ventura argued in federal court Monday that Ventura has the right to restore his reputation, and Kyle's estate will continue to make money from book sales. Kyle's attorneys say going forward will damage Ventura even more, painting him as someone who has no feelings for widows of war heroes.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan took the arguments under advisement.
Kyle and a friend were killed in February at a Texas gun range.

When Jesse Tyler Ferguson grew up in New Mexico, Heisenberg was just a German physicist, not a porkpie-hat-wearing teacher-turned-meth kingpin.
But the Modern Family star clearly supports the White family's Albuquerque takeover: When he visited his home state over the weekend, Ferguson and husband Justin Mikita took a tour of all the locations made famous by Breaking Bad and posted pics online.
First stop: Walt's house, though that doesn't look like a green Aztek in the driveway …
Waiting for Walter White. @BryanCranston #albuquerque http://t.co/3YN7vUTlzJ—
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler) September 28, 2013
The next stop is the A-1 Car Wash, where a lot more than Coca-Cola is stored in the soda machine. Have an A-1 day!
What's a Heisenberg tour without the blue stuff? Jesse and Justin paid a visit to The Candy Lady for a Heisenberg Pez dispenser and blue meth rock candy.
Blue meth rock candy and a @BryanCranston Pez dispenser, bitch! Both from The Candy Lady in Albuquerque, NM! http://t.co/EordtSd4o9—
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler) September 27, 2013
And finally, it's Jesse Pinkman's house. Think they knocked on the door to see if Jesse was throwing one of his famous round-the-clock, open-door parties?
Jesse Pinkman's house, bitch! @aaronpaul_8 http://t.co/xNrhuMcZsJ—
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler) September 27, 2013
Ferguson and Mikita were back in New Mexico for a Tie the Knot event working to bring marriage equality to his home state.
The final episode of Breaking Bad airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on AMC (we're live-tweeting); Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Pray for your State Missionaries
August 2014
Joe Graham
Joe has served for 31 years as a state missionary in Collegiate Ministries. As specialist in that department, he oversees campus ministries on 53 college campuses in Georgia. Through Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM's), students learn just what it means to be Christ-followers" – learning to be growing disciples, learning to share their faith with other collegians, and discovering who (and what) it is that God has called them to be (and do) with their lives. Joe asks that Georgia Baptists pray for all the collegians who are about to head back to school and for their families as they adjust to these same times of transition. Please pray for the Campus Ministers, interns and volunteers who are your State Missionaries on the colleges and universities in Georgia – truly a mission field in our midst.
Judy Hinesley
Judy has served the GBC for 24 years in many ministry areas, now as manager of the Support Services Department. As such, she is responsible for maintenance and oversight of the Georgia Baptist Missions and Ministry Center in Duluth. This includes the scheduling of conference and meeting facilities, switchboard, reception, mail services, facility security, building tours, food services and vehicle maintenance. On her special day, Judy asks for prayer that the Support Services staff would be a strong witness to all the vendors and contractors it encounters daily in the overall maintenance of the Missions and Ministry building. Her personal prayer is that we never forget who the building belongs to!
Ken Jones
Ken has served as a GBC campus minister since 1982, and ministers to students at the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega and at its Gainesville campus. Pray for the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at these campuses as they seek to "disciple students in a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ." Ken believes that the natural outflow of discipling collegians is that they will "gain God's heart for the nations." "Missions is big with us… a responsibility… a privilege… and 'a rite of passage' through which students can 'get over themselves' and be involved in God's global purpose." Pray for the NGCSU BCM leadership team as each one will be leading a small group discipleship group in the fall. Pray for Ken as he begins a new year of ministry to and with college students.
Keith Wade
Keith serves as campus minister to students attending Truett-McConnell College and Piedmont College. His office is located at Truett-McConnell, one of our Georgia Baptist colleges.

He also leads student groups in service to the community. Please pray for Keith as he shares Christ and disciples students through Baptist Collegiate Ministry.
Tony Branham
Tony has been on staff for 27 years as campus minister and now serves the campuses of Armstrong Atlantic State University and College of Coastal Georgia. He shares the following prayer requests with Georgia Baptists:
- For continued opportunities to partner with the churches in both the Savannah Baptist Association and the Southeast Baptist Association

- For BCM students to be totally committed to Christ and His mission for their lives
- For the ministry of the BCM to be completely dependent on the leadership of the
- Holy Spirit and to respond out of unfailing obedience to everything God wants us to do!

- Impact around the world through student summer missionaries

- A new year of ministry!
David Kirkland
David has served as a Georgia Baptist campus minister since 1996. He currently ministers to students at Georgia College and State University. David shares the following requests: "August is an extremely busy month in Collegiate Ministries. Pray that I will be able to effectively balance my time between family and BCM ministry. Pray that the BCM leadership teams will create a welcoming atmosphere at our large group gatherings where new students will feel loved and be encouraged in the truth. Pray that the BCM staff will model before the students a vibrant relationship with Christ and an urgency to share Him with those in need."
Buck Burch
As state missionary in the Cooperative Program/Stewardship ministry area, Buck serves to assist churches in missions education and in promoting missional giving based on an Acts 1:8 Strategy that will reach our Jerusalem, our Judea, our Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the world. Praying for the Lord's touch for Kingdom Generosity, the CP/Stewardship Department can assist local pastors in leading their congregations to adopt a missions mindset through intentional and faithful offerings to ministry and missions. Additionally, the Stewardship Ministry of GBC serves local churches in educating and mobilizing our members to become faithful stewards of everything God has provided (1 Cor. 4:2).
Tom Crites
Tom has been on staff for 11 years, serving as state missionary in the Research Services area.

She asks that Georgia Baptists pray for the outreach efforts of the BCM student leaders as fall semester begins in August. Pray that the student leaders will have a passion for reaching their fellow students for Christ and that college students, American and international, will come to faith in Christ. Pray also for the ministry to develop passionate, genuine, and loving followers of Christ. Teresa expresses gratitude to everyone for their prayers.
Stephen Lillard
Stephen joined the GBC staff in 2009 and serves as risk manager. His primary mission is to promote a safe working environment while continuing to pursue the GBC's core mission. Stephen works with GBC insurers and Risk Management Task Force to develop systems and policy that will help employees avoid injuries and health problems. His immediate focus and biggest prayer concern is identifying and evaluating workplace risk. Stephen also spent this past year working with GBC camps and conference centers on methods and procedures to keep campers and visitors safe. Please pray for Stephen as he works to make the GBC a safe and healthy place of ministry.
Kevin Wilson
Kevin has served in the Information Services area since 1998. He is currently involved in initiatives that will help Convention staff achieve relevant contact with churches through the efficient use of a new database system called iGO (GBC Online database system). Kevin asks Georgia Baptists to join him in praying that the Information Services staff will be able to effectively help churches, associations, and convention staff in their use of technology. Also pray that Georgia Baptists will find the best methods to reach every generation for Christ.
Charles Drummond
Charles serves as Regional State Missionary in the North Georgia region. He joined the state missions staff in 2005, after many years in the pastorate. He and two other regional missionaries provide local communication and information from the GBC, as well as specialized service to churches and associations in all areas of the state. Charles requests prayer for pastors and associational missionaries in the North Georgia Region.
Prayer Walking
God's Power and Love
A special phenomenon has unfolded in recent years! "Prayer walking" – a concept defined as "praying on site with insight" – has found its way into the lives of many Christians.
Prayer Walking Is…
Praying while Walking. It may be as simple as praying while walking for exercise, or it may include an organized effort to saturate a city or neighborhood with prayer. It may be as simple as praying for the needs of people, or it may be used to target areas that need an evangelistic witness.
Intentional Praying. It is setting aside a time to walk in order to pray. It is deliberate intercession for others.
Praying with Vision. Walking through areas enables a Christian to visualize what God wants to do in the lives of the people who live or work there. Seeing enhances our praying.
Involvement in Spiritual Warfare. People without Jesus as their Savior are being held by Satan and need to be set free. PRAYER WALKING is offensive praying to attack these strongholds bombarding them with spiritual power through prayer.
NOT an End in Itself. Evangelistic PRAYER WALKING is preparation for evangelistic witnessing. This witness may come as a part of an organized effort or it may come as an encounter during a prayer walk.
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:14
The Gulf War of 1991 was ended quickly when the ground forces marched on Iraq. One of the reasons for success was the previous strategic bombing of enemy strongholds by the United Nations Air Forces. The use of air power was preparation for the ground attack.
PRAYER WALKING can spiritually bombard Satanic strongholds in cities, neighborhoods and families prior to an attempt to share the Gospel with everyone.
PRAYER WALKING allows us to see the needs and the lost condition of our neighborhoods and cities. It helps us focus our prayers on the needs and the spiritual bondage and blindness of people without Jesus.
"Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us…" Romans 8:26
- Select a date and time, and place them on the church calendar. Evangelistic PRAYER WALKING is planned times of intercession.
- Map out the area to be "walked." Assign teams of two, preferably, but not more than three.
- Meet together as a group before PRAYER WALKING to pray, share Scripture and information about the area to be walked.
- Pray for Holy Spirit power and wisdom and for control of all that is done.
- Agree on the time to return and report results.
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20
- Be alert as you walk, keep your eyes open and be observant. Ask God to let you see through His eyes.
- Pray aloud. Verbalizing your prayers helps focus on the object of prayer.
- Allow the Holy Spirit to lead your prayer. Pray for what you see and what you don't see – the people behind the doors of homes.
- Pray together. Take turns praying short prayers about a certain subject or area of focus.
- Walk slowly to allow time to observe.
- Claim God's love and compassion for the people and ask God to remove their spiritual blinders and tear down all barriers that hinder belief in Jesus.
- Be alert to how the Holy Spirit may be leading. Sometimes it may be to speak to someone along the way.
- Watch for open doors to witness.
- Be alert for opportunities to pray for spiritual and other needs.
Prayer Walking May Also Include:
- Walking alone and not as part of an organized effort. Anytime and anywhere you are walking, you should be praying.
- Walking as families. Talk about it in advance and plan a short easy route for small children.
- Walking through your work area. An office manager arrived early each Monday and prayed at every desk.
- Walking at school. Students may walk around their school and pray or walk the halls praying at classroom doors.
- Walking through a neighborhood and talking to God about the people who live there.
- Walking in or near places which are obvious strongholds of Satan, such as places where drug dealers hang out.
Prayer Walking Results
"…our God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…" Ephesians 3:20
Prayer walkers invariably report that praying "on site with insight" causes them to see persons and conditions with their hearts. The Holy Spirit creates within them a new dimension of sensitivity, love and prayer burden for the people and the area. Of even greater importance, prayer walking places the Christian in partnership with God in carrying out His plan of releasing His power in response to the prayers of His people.

Rutherford Council denies RDP additional budget extension
RUTHERFORD - The Borough Council has refused to grant the Rutherford Downtown Partnership (RDP) Board an additional extension to produce a member approved budget.
The RDP membership voted down the organization's proposed $223,300 budget for 2013 in December by a vote of 77 to 24. The RDP board, in an effort to avoid relinquishing control of their budget to the council, asked for and were granted an extension until March, 20, 2013.
The RDP board however, asked for another extension until April 24 contending they needed more time to advertise, to hold a public hearing on the budget and to hold a member vote. That request, which was presented to the council by RDP liaison Mayor Joe DeSalvo, was denied after not one council person introduced a motion for the extension.
"An established budget is one of the objectives for this organization and I don't see the merit of granting them an additional extension," said Councilwoman Kimberly Birdsall. The councilwoman said that the entire council needs to hash out what they want the organization to be.
Councilman Jack Boyle also spoke out against granting the extension to the Rutherford business improvement district's board and said that it was time the organization's leadership got their "act in gear."
"First they can't pass a budget, then they ask for an extension - and now they want another extension. As far as I am concerned their time is up," said Boyle.
Last year, after the membership voted down the 2012 budget and the board asked for multiple extensions to create a new budget, the council decided to put together a committee to review the organization's budget and make a decision on how to proceed for the year. That committee did not decrease the total amount of the RDP's budget, it merely modified the way funds were allocated within the budget.
RDP President Richard Brooks said on Wednesday, Jan. 13, that he will do all that he can to avoid relinquishing control of the budget, stating that his goal is to give the RDP membership a voice in how their organization is run. "I will make sure we meet the March 20 deadline," said Brooks.
Though there is no definitive reason why the initial budget was shot down by the membership, three issues have been circulating the RDP board for the greater part of their budget process; namely the six percent special assessment charged to business owners, the organization's $280,220 surplus fund and an overall feeling that the business owners are not being served well by the board. Director Robin Reenstra Bryant resigned in June and has yet to be replaced.
In December, after the budget was voted down, Brooks said that the membership's vote was a clear sign to him that property owners want to see the required special assessment tax adjusted in accordance with the organization's "surplus." This surplus also includes receivables and revenues the RDP has not yet received.
At the end of 2010, the South Bergenite conducted a survey on the RDP at the request of Rutherford business owners. Although some responders said the RDP brought some benefit to the downtown with regulations on aesthetics of the area and the newer streetscape, most responded with a wish list that included more marketing from RDP, operating costs to be cut, more help filling empty store fronts, more communication between RDP staff and business owners, the core and non-core map being eliminated and that the assessments property owners pay be lowered.

The seventh pick is in and SB Nation's Browns community, Dawgs By Nature, has selected...
Tennessee S Eric Berry
As the best-rated safety on the board, Eric Berry has been a clear favorite amongst Browns fans, and would be considered a welcome addition to fill the void left by former starter Brodney Pool, who wasn't re-signed by the team given his history of concussions.
This would be a dream scenario for the Browns. Berry is arguably the best defensive player in the draft after Ndamukong Suh. Some needs for the Browns may be as great as safety, but none of them could be filled with a player as good as Berry.
From Rocky Top Talk's Berry player profile:
Eric Berry is the total package, excelling at everything expected of star defensive backs. He's an incredibly fierce hitter, anticipating plays to get to just the right spot at just the right time so that he can launch himself at the ball carrier with a bone-crunching, perfect form tackle. He also uses his high intelligence, game savvy, and closing speed to read passing plays and bait quarterbacks into throwing interceptions. After interceptions and fumble recoveries, he uses field vision, sneaky quick moves and angles, and pure speed to rack up yards.
This would be an excellent scenario for the Browns. They've been looking for secondary help and most folks have Joe Haden going in this spot. If Berry falls, the Browns should feel lucky. There's no chance he gets past them.

I few shots from AZ....love this time of year down there, 80's with low humidity, and flowers in bloom everywhere.
Thanks again for suggestions...I went to Sedona, Pinnacle Peak, Phoenix botanical garden, and "lost dog trail".
Some pretty results. I think I recognize the spot in the first image - along the "Lost Dog Trailhead" , right? Sedona is always pretty easy to identify. You're right, by the way, this is the perfect time of year to visit AZ.
You're right! Second and fourth are pinnacle peak in north Scottsdale...second one was at sunrise, fourth was right after sunset.
Dustin...a lot colder for you now days eh?

Manti Te'o: Tumblr shows photos of people '#Teoing'
If there's one thing we've come to expect after a national scandal like that of Manti Te'o breaks, is a subsequent Tumblr mocking the situation.
News broke Wednesday that Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's heartbreaking story of loss was a hoax. The 22-year-old Mormon and Heisman trophy candidate's story gained steam last fall as it was widely reported that his grandmother and girlfriend died in a span of six hours this past September.
It turns out, that while Te'o's grandmother did, in fact, pass away, the girlfriend Lennay Kekua never existed, according to a report by Deadspin.com.
Whether this was a sick joke played on Te'o or if the rising football star was in on the hoax still remains a mystery.
Just as fast as the story went viral, so did a Tumblr titled "#Teoing."
The Tumblr is a collection of images of guys posing with their imaginary girlfriends.
The site even pokes fun at the now infamous photo of Clint Eastwood speaking to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention this past summer claiming it as "The original #Teoing."

Being both relaxed and comfortable are keys to wardrobe and interior styling! Finding pieces that make you feel like the best version of yourself are worth the time and effort, just ask Ms. Relaxed & Comfortable.
Warm woods can't help but be welcoming, just like the Daniel Dark Wood Console Table that sits in Ms. Relaxed & Comfortable's entryway. It's a great spot to corral mail, keys, and portable electronics as well as a place to set up a mini bar for entertaining guests. Versatility.
The same thing holds true for faux bois, in this case the Dark Weegee Table Lamp. The brushed metal legs of this table lamp paired with the dark shade give this lamp a feeling of delicate substantiality that is verycozy indeed.
This set of Laine Wood and Faux Leather Dining Chairs are just asking for a late night chat around the table, fireplace blazing in the near distance. Ms. Relaxed & Cozy like to serve up her signature Hot Toddys while she and her best gals chat away and solve life's puzzles while curled up in these cozy seats.
We can't get enough of the unique and innovative modern restaurant design in Venice Beach, CA and we're really crushing on Superba Snack Bar. Venice Beach is always a refreshing local, providing a little fun in the sun with a meal at Superba Snack Bar. This laid back Rose Ave hangout is worth the visit.
The midcentury style, surf shack vibe design by Design, Bit***s is crisp and full of energy. We sure love to see a restaurant designing with a minimail, industrial elements.
Modern dining chairs that are simple and light-weight oftne times pair perfectly with heavy, over-sized tables. The patterned wool beach blankets thrown about, and also used as upholstery on the back of the banquette seating, add the much needed texture and warmth.

I've been more than a little obsessed with finding the "perfect" desk chair. As I pin away looking for workspace inspiration I'm constantly asking myself "could I see myself sitting in that chair?" Because everyone knows, a modern chair is the key to any stylish home office.
That's why I decided to pick my favorite office chairs I'd put in my very own workspace. These three options will have you inspired while you're working.

Palm Springs Modernism Week takes the SoCal desert by storm every February. To take a break from this snow-bird's roster of design events, tours and exhibitions (as well as endless unsanctioned parties and pop-ups), consider losing yourself just outside of town in the desert sun at the Hotel Lautner.
Formerly the iconic Desert Hot Springs Motel, this famed John Lautner property was recently purchased and renovated by Los Angeles based interior designer Tracy Beckmann of Tracy Beckman Design and furniture designer Ryan Trowbridge of Brown + Trowbridge. Although Beckmann has been making a name for herself for her slick, glammed-up commercial and hospitality spaces, Hotel Lautner is more of an exercise in Modernist provenance, showcasing the designer's love for Mid-Century design.
This is Madmen gone wild West. Interiors are true to the period with the "Bachelor Pad" room (pictured below) sporty a smoky, low-slung vibe.
Each room comes with a kitchenette, perfect for mixing a twilight martini. Period ceramics and art dot each of the rooms. We like how ceramic and painted table lamps throughout give each space an authentic vintage feel too.
Taken all together, this beautiful retreat is hard to leave. Comfortable rooms, a wading pool, BBQ pits, and the experience (if for a day) of living in a Lautner? You can count us in again next February. In the meantime, we'll be re-creating the place at home.

GOSHEN — The pursuit of health and wellness took a major step forward at NIBCO's Goshen facility Thursday morning with an official ground-breaking ceremony for the facility's new fitness center.
Founded in 1904, NIBCO Inc. is a world leader in flow control products. Its Goshen manufacturing plant has produced plastic plumbing fittings since 1968.
According to Aaron Nichols, senior human resources generalist for NIBCO Inc., the new fitness center is a direct result of NIBCO's Goshen facility, located at 701 Eisenhower Drive N., winning a 2012 tobacco cessation competition.
"Every year we pick a few plants and we pit them against each other in a tobacco cessation contest, and last year it was the battle of the plastics plants," said Nichols said. "So there were three different plants that competed against each other, and the one who had the highest percentage of quitters got five pieces of free fitness equipment."
As incentive for the competition, NIBCO reportedly covered 100 percent of cessation costs for any Goshen associate, spouse or dependent that wanted to quit. At the end of the year, Goshen had 11 successful quitters — more than any other competing location.
"If you've ever tried to do a tobacco cessation campaign, that's an incredible result," Nichols said.
To celebrate this accomplishment, NIBCO's Goshen leadership team chose to capitalize on its forward momentum toward healthier living and is now building a fully-appointed fitness center to house its new fitness equipment.
The facility will be open to associates and their spouses and will include men's and women's locker rooms with showers and a fully-appointed kitchen to prepare healthy snacks and meals.
Nuway Construction, a design/build contractor located in Goshen, was selected to construct the center.
"They had a nice little gym in there, but it really was just four temporary walls inclosing a StairMaster and an elliptical," Nichols said. "So with five new beautiful pieces of equipment, they decided, 'You know what, lets go all out and use this momentum and this success that we've had and do it right.' So with Nuway's help, and now with the financial backing of corporate and Alice Martin and the founding family, they are putting this wonderful new gym and kitchen combo fitness center in, and it's hopefully going to be completed by the end of the year."
Pat Forrest, plant manager of NIBCO's Goshen facility, spoke glowingly Thursday of his company's efforts to improve the health and wellness of its associates.
"I can't say enough about what NIBCO is doing for us here at the Goshen plant and for all our associates here, the opportunity to become more fit and healthy," Forrest said. "We've done a lot over the last several years with healthy eating habits, trying to change what people do along with exercise, and this will be a great thing for this facility, to be able to use the exercise equipment and have a kitchen where we can actually prepare good food for all the associates to eat and change their way of eating. That will make a big difference."
Also on hand Thursday to praise the company was Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman.
"I just want to congratulate you on your project here," Kauffman said. "It's always a great day when we can work on our wellness. NIBCO's been a great industrial partner in the community and has done great things for us, and we appreciate the diversity that you bring to our industry."
David Daugherty, president of the Goshen Chamber of Commerce, echoed Kauffman's comments.
"We just appreciate having you hear, and having you work with your associates to get them healthier," Daugherty said. "It's just a great example of what can be done when associates really work together."

Upgrade option not showing….
Hi, I'm running BP 1.5.5. However, there is no update option showing and I've just upgraded to WP3.5 and had to apply the fix to stop the errors showing.
What's the right way to upgrade if I don't see that option? And, by 'right' I mean the easiest and simplest and less trouble and best, of course!
Many thanks

The result means Wasps replace the visitors at the top of their Amlin Challenge Cup pool, and a win in France next week should all but ensure that they go through to the knockout stage.
After some early thrusts by the visitors, Wasps took the lead in the sixth minute through a Dave Walder penalty from in front of the posts, when Bayonne were caught offside.
By now, the fine weather of the morning and early afternoon had been replaced by grey skies and rain and a Wasps handling error from the restart led to a penalty for Bayonne, which scrum-half Cedric Garcia landed from 40 metres, to level the scores.
Two minutes later, an offence at the scrum gave Garcia another kick at goal, from 45 metres and he was again on target.
A superb leaping catch by Richard Birkett, from the restart, gave Joe Simpson the chance to send Steve Kefu into space. He was stopped a few metres out, and the ball was worked out wide, but Wasps were forced into touch. Another promising Wasps move was called back when Walder's floated pass to David Lemi was rightly adjudged to have gone forward.
Wasps kept up the pressure, and were rewarded with a penalty, 45 metres out, and a fine kick from Walder levelled the scores. With 22 minutes gone, Bayonne's number 8, Jacques Deen was shown a yellow card, and Walder's third successful kick, from 45 metres, put Wasps back in front.
After several minutes of scrappy play, David Lemi knocked on a high kick, on his 22, and Wasps were penalised from the resultant scrum. Garcia landed a simple penalty, and the scores were again level, with 33 minutes gone, as Deen returned from the sin bin.
With four minutes of the half to play, the assistant referee spotted some foul play by Wasps. The penalty gave Garcia a great chance to put Bayonne ahead, but he hooked his 30-metre kick to the right of the posts. There were no further scoring opportunities before the break, and the teams went off all square, after a tight half, in which neither side had established a clear advantage, although Wasps had looked the more creative.
Bayonne established an early attack position, at the start of the second half, when Mark Van Gisbergen unluckily lost his footing as he gathered a bouncing ball near his own line and slipped into touch. From the lineout, substitute Manny Edmonds had a snap drop at goal, but failed to find the target. A minute later, Garcia made no mistake with his fourth successful penalty, to make it 12-9.
Wasps responded immediately, after Dom Waldouck ran on to Walder's neat chip ahead, inside the Bayonne 22. He was stopped just short, Simpson had a dart for the line, and the forwards made several thrusts, before the ball was recycled and spun out to Tom Varndell, who went over unopposed in the corner. Walder was unable to convert.
It was Walder who then launched a counterattack which led to another penalty, after a characteristic burst from Simpson, and a controlled forward drive. Rather than go for the posts, he went for the corner, and the catch and drive saw Wasps come close, when Joe Ward was held up on the line. Wasps were awarded the put-in to the scrum, but a strong shove from the Bayonne pack forced a handling error. Bayonne immediately conceded a free kick, and Wasps opted for another scrum. They went for the line, but conceded a vital turnover, enabling Bayonne to clear to outside their 22
The visitors immediately conceded a penalty, just inside their ten metre line, and Walder landed a fine kick to stretch the lead to 17-12, with fifteen minutes of the half gone.
Wasps then made their first substitutions, with Rob Webber and Simon Shaw coming on for Joe Ward and Richard Birkett.
Bayonne's best attack of the game, with fullback Pepito Elhorga powering his way down the left set up a penalty chance for Craig Gower – by now, Garcia had been replaced. The fly half landed an excellent kick from near the touchline, to narrow the gap to two points.
Ben Jacobs then replaced his fellow Australian Steve Kefu, and he was immediately involved in the second Wasps try, created after the forwards set up quick possession near the posts. The ball was quickly spun out to the right, and Tom Varndell went over for his second try, in the same spot where he'd scored his first. Walder could not add the extra points, with another difficult kick.
Another dangerous attack from Bayonne ended with a knock on by Gower. Wasps pounced on the loose ball and Simpson streaked away, with David Lemi in support. The scrumhalf had reached the ten metre line before sending a pass out towards the winger, but a timely interception prevented an almost certain try.
Excellent work by Simon Shaw led to another penalty chance for Walder, but his long-range kick, from the halfway line, dropped short. Varndell then left the field, to be replaced by Paul Sackey. With ten minutes left.
Five minutes later, Gower landed another penalty, to set up a tense finish. Bob Baker came on for Ben Broster, as Wasps charged down a clearance kick, to set up a final attacking position. As MOTM Joe Simpson was replaced by Mark Robinson, they stole a Bayonne lineout near the corner, and held the ball through a series of surges, before a knockon gave the visitors the chance to clear. Inside the final 30 second, Wasps ran a penalty, and launched one last attack, in search of the try which would have denied the visitors a potentially crucial bonus point, but, after controlling the ball through countless phases, they conceded a penalty, and the game ended with Wasps leading the pool, three points ahead of Bayonne.
The return game will be played in Bayonne, next Thursday night. Wasps then return to Guinness Premiership action in the Big Match at Twickenham, where they face Harlequins on Sunday, December the 27th. The following Sunday, they return to Adams Park, to take on Newcastle Falcons, KO 4.30pm.

Rownie, the youngest in Graba the witchworker's household of stray children, escapes and goes looking for his missing brother. Along the way he falls in with a troupe of theatrical goblins and learns the secret origins of masks. Now Graba's birds are hunting him in the Southside of Zombay, the Lord Mayor's guards are searching for him in Northside, and the River between them is getting angry. The city needs saving — and only the goblins know how.
Goblin Secrets is the 2012 National Book Award Winner for Young People's Literature.
Goblin Secrets by William Alexander
Margaret K. McElderry Books
Hardcover, 240 pages
Grades 3-7 / Ages 8-12
List price: $16.99
Indiebound (Independent Bookstores)
With a sure hand, William Alexander here creates a wholly convincing world of mechanized soldiers, chicken-legged grandmothers, sentient rivers, and goblin actors. In that uncertain landscape, young Rownie learns the mysterious craft of masking to search for both his brother and his own story, unaware that the solution to these searches may be the salvation of his city. Alexander's world is one of possessiveness—and true love—brilliantly revealing our own selves by holding up our masks.
"It was hard to stop reading Goblin Secrets, and I didn't want the book to end! The author's imagination is both huge and original, taking us to a truly new place, rich with lively, vivid scenes, fascinating people, and marvelous inventions. He doesn't explain things, yet everything is clear. And he tells his fast-paced story in language that's a pleasure in itself -- subtle, tricky, funny, beautiful. More, please, Will Alexander!"
"Goblin Secrets is a knockout. It's an original, owing absolutely nothing to Tolkien, or to any of his descendants, disciples or imitators. As a lifelong sucker for theatre and books about theatre, I don't know a fantasy novel that's used performing and maskmaking in just that way."
"Alexander's world, blending steampunk and witchy magic, is impressively convincing and evocative in its oddities. Though highly textured, it's tightly woven and reassuringly seamless. The result is wryly humorous and bearably yet excitingly menacing: Even while much is left unexplained, Rownie's triumph is both gripping and tantalizing."

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. I've read the other posts, read your responses, and I've felt the EXACT same frustration you're feeling right now. There is a HUGE push to make everything CSS because of the way it's supposed to make things more user-friendly, how it's supposed to look better on cell phones and how it's supposed to make the job of revising your site easier down the line.
I did NOT want to take the plunge into CSS because, let's face it, it's literally like learning a new language. I design my sites in Photoshop, slice 'em up and put them in a table in Dreamweaver. It's how I've done it for the last 10 years, and I don't see a need to change it.
However, Dreamweaver has seamlessly integrated CSS commands and functionality into their interface, so working with CSS has become a little more tolerable. Here's my $0.02 for everyone: why not do both? Why not use CSS for the style elements (fonts, placement of pictures, etc.) and use tables to contain your sliced images?
I've worked on websites that were fully CSS and while it might have taken a second less to load, the format was (yawn) boring and the site was crippled when it came to customizing the layout.
(By the way, I have taken to learning CSS because I understand the value of it, and I've found some great classes at W3 Schools.)

The North Carolina House passed a bill that will improve school safety, but the millions of dollars needed to fund it were pulled from the bill and may not be fully approved.
"The money parts were taken out to be put separately in the house budget," said Representative Rick Glazier (D-Cumberland).
Thursday afternoon, the House unanimously approved a stripped down measure of the bill, which still mandates that schools have emergency response plans and crisis training programs, but the money to fund many other safety measures is now dependent on being approved as part of the upcoming state budget.
That includes $34 million for more school resource officers, additional psychologists and social workers to identify troubled kids and money for in-classroom panic buttons.
Glazier says House leadership has promised the money will be in its budget, but no one is sure if the Senate will eliminate part or all of that funding from its version of the budget.
"It would be extremely disappointing to a lot of people and lead to a less-secure setting for children in our public schools if these monies were not kept in by the senate," Glazier said.
Although parent Steve Lisowe believes in school security, he's not so sure he wants money spent on things like panic buttons.
"Panic buttons and lockdowns are worthless once a bad guy is in the building," Lisowe said.
Lisowe says he prefers a more active deterrent.
"Schools should allow teachers who are comfortable carrying a concealed weapon to have those concealed weapons," he said.
Meanwhile, other parents believe there are some school safety improvements, like locking doors, that could provide immediate additional security and wouldn't cost a dime.
"I have very easy access to my daughter's school," explained parent Nancy Carlson, "Her school is too easy to get into and out of, and there's no one there to help you if something goes wrong."
Steve is an award-winning reporter for WNCN and former assistant professor. A seasoned professional, Steve is proud to call the Triangle home since 2005 after over two decades in Boston, Mass. More>>

Partnership for Peace
The Partnership for Peace (PfP) is a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) program aimed at creating trust between NATO and other states in Europe and the former Soviet Union; 22 states are members.[1] It was first discussed by the Bulgarian Society Novae, after proposed as an American initiative at the meeting of NATO defense ministers in Travemünde, Germany, on 20–21 October 1993, and formally launched on 10–11 January 1994 NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium.[2]

Twelve former member states of the PfP (namely Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia), have subsequently joined NATO. On April 26, 1995 Malta became a member of PfP;[3] it left on October 27, 1996 in order to maintain its neutrality.[4] On March 20, 2008 Malta decided to reactivate their PfP membership;[5] this was accepted by NATO at the summit in Bucharest on April 3, 2008.[6] During the NATO summit in Riga on November 29, 2006, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia were invited to join PfP,[7] after which they joined PfP[8] on December 14, 2006.[9]

Aspiring members[edit]
- Cyprus is the only European Union member state that is neither a NATO member state nor a member of the PfP program. The Parliament of Cyprus voted in February 2011 to apply for membership in the program, but President Demetris Christofias vetoed the decision as it would hamper his attempts to negotiate an end to the nation's dispute with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and demilitarize the island.[10][11] Turkey, a full member of NATO, is likely to veto any attempt by Cyprus to engage with NATO until the dispute is resolved.[12] The winner of Cyprus' presidential election in February 2013, Nicos Anastasiades, has stated that he intends to apply for membership in the PfP program soon after taking over.[13]
- Kosovo[a] has described PfP membership as a strategic objective of the government.[14] Kosovo submitted an application to join the PfP program in July 2012. However, four NATO member states, Greece, Romania, Spain and Slovakia, do not recognize Kosovo's independence and have threatened to block their participation in the program.[15][16]

Shubert Alley, Band With Memphis Alumni Kevin Massey and Jamison Scott, Debuts Dec. 7 at 54 Below
By Michael Gioia
Shubert Alley, a new country and bluegrass trio that features Memphis alumni Kevin Massey and Jamison Scott, makes its debut Dec. 7 at the Manhattan nightclub 54 Below.
The one-night-only concert is scheduled to begin at 11 PM.
Here's how 54 Below describes the evening: "Alumni of Broadway's Memphis, Jamison Scott, Kevin Massey and Patrick Massey, are Shubert Alley: a new country/bluegrass trio with soaring three-part harmonies and a new take on popular music. These seasoned Broadway performers lend their talent to arrangements by Michael Borth, singing an array of hits from the likes of The Beatles, Journey and Michael Jackson, in their own unique style. Eclectic taste in music and masterful musicianship combined with their chemistry on stage will leave everyone wanting more!"
"We called ourselves Shubert Alley as a bit of a tribute to our roots at Memphis in the Shubert Theatre," band member Kevin Massey told Playbill.com. The group took form in the men's dressing room at the Shubert and was rounded out with Massey's brother, Patrick, who is making his NYC debut in the trio.
Audiences can expect to hear re-imagined covers of popular songs "The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson and "Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles as well as tunes by Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan — all in country/bluegrass style.
"We will [also] have some originals and maybe even a few Christmas tunes if you're not too naughty," added Kevin Massey.
Kevin Massey's other Broadway credits include Tarzan and Big River. Scott also appeared in the 2007 Broadway revival of Grease.
54 Below is located at 254 W. 54th Street. There is a $10-$20 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum. For more information, visit 54Below.com.
