We love to eat at many of the great restaurants on the island and do some shopping in the unique stores on Centre Street.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Medea: I just wanted to let you know that we received your card today with the returned cheque enclosed (damage deposit).
Our family vacation in your condo last month was wonderful in every respect. We loved the location, and the accommodations suited our needs perfectly. All of your e-mails and additional information were very helpful in making our vacation a huge success. Thank you so much for everything. We will not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends that are considering a stay in Florida.

A year ago today, our Dad Christopher Noel Roche had a Stroke again. A bunch. And everything changed. Across my family's lives this event continues to echo. And at times, [especially for Mum] this event ripples and rips.
Dad's currently lying in a bed in the Fairlie House home in Norwood, London (for any friends who'd like to visit). Over the last year Dad has had fantastic care from the NHS. The best opportunities. From his time at Kings Intensive Care Unit. To his stay at Lewisham Hospital (mum's hospital) while we waited for his chance at Putney's Neurological Hospital, the RHN.
Then he got his Putney chance in January. All those tests, and hopes. Dad has had everything thrown at him over the last year. Maybe too much, but that's the Luxury of Hindsight. We fought for Dad as he would us. And then the times when Dad should have plain died. That bloody fighting spirit or inability of his body to not stop going. Not give in.
Dad taught me the importance of each man's liberty nor giving it up. This is an awesome truth.
This wasn't taught in a theoretical, academic, review of history type way. Nor in the way his friend Miles Fitzgerald (an Irishman) who helped bring trade unions to the London building industry. A great man in his own way. Dad told stories. His stories. Stories about the Irish struggle. And I grew up with this sense of liberty and its importance. Though not really knowing why. Like I grew up with religion, but didn't understand faith.
Recently I've started a job on a Syrian News website. Collecting news on social media [Facebook, Twitter], the verification of it, giving context to all the activist stories in Syria and creating a platform for it. Seeing the terrible events, this struggle that I'm seeing [fleetingly]. I'm reminded of how precious is our liberty, but we will always fight for it.
Dad's liberty has been taken from him. Now I know this is when the true fight begins. For the last year I've been watching him fighting for his liberty. Though I now know the outcome. I know the ending. He's not coming back. He will lose. But he will always fight, down to his fibre and cell. Its his way.
I never knew I would learn this lesson the hard way. Watching him dealing with strokes again. I've not enjoyed this life's lesson.
But maybe my Dad is too awesome. It's one year today.

Man arrrested after son injured in drag race
Valentine Duran-Ciprian, 25, faces several charges
INDIANAPOLIS - An Indianapolis man faces neglect and other charges after police said his 2-year-old son was seriously injured when the man's car crashed during a drag race.
Valentine Duran-Ciprian, 25, was held without bond in the Marion County Jail on initial charges including neglect, criminal recklessness and engaging in a speed contest.
He was arrested Saturday after his car collided with an oncoming vehicle during an alleged drag race, leaving him with head wounds, police said.
"We knew we were going to crash. All of a sudden, I saw white. It had to have been the air bag going off," said Gail Barber, who was in the car that was struck. "I told my husband, 'I thought I had died and gone to heaven.' It was very frightening."
The boy was on the car's front passenger seat not sitting in a child car seat when the cars collided, police said. He was hospitalized with serious injuries.
"I think it was just a couple of people being really negligent, especially the driver of the car whose son was taken to the hospital," said Indianapolis police spokesman Officer Michael Hewitt. "I can't imagine doing that. That's just extremely negligent and unacceptable."
Indiana law requires car seats or booster seats for children younger than age 8.
Barber said she's glad Duran-Ciprian's son survived.
"It was so unneccesary. It's heart breaking to know that his son was hurt and that he was unrestrained," she said. "I can't fathom that because I have a 2-year-old granddaughter. It just breaks my heart."

Game of Thrones fans have been through a lot this season, losing characters they held dear and learning new twists that altered the course of many individual character arcs. The show has become as much a source of stress for viewers as it has been one for entertainment.
As promised, the show has delivered breathtaking drama and intrigue week after week. As the credits rolled each Sunday it was often at the tail end of enormous loss or victory, depending on where your allegiances lie, and so fans have turned to the only sensible way to deal with the sorrow of lost characters:
No, Not that, although it might help. We're talking about some of the funniest gags the internet has produced to make Game of Thrones a tad less devastating for these past four months. Game of Thrones's viewership has among it a wealth of talented, funny people that have put together some genuinely satisfying respite from the battles, and even worse, the weddings that have turned each week into a water cooler moment to talk about every Monday. We've assembled a list with some of our favorites from season 4 to prepare you for the finale this weekend.
Tobuscus's literal season four trailer:
And of course, there's The Hound's love affair with chicken:
As the season progressed Daenarys freed more slaves and rose to become a true queen, while the lovably evil Joffrey found his exit at the bottom of a cup of wine. That left his little brother to become king and go through puberty all on the same day. Jamie left us with some very mixed feelings and the imp went into lock up for filicide – and that was only in the first half of the season!
In one the season's most dramatic episodes, Tyrion Lannister goes to trial for Joffrey's murder. But in the outtakes Peter Dinklage and Nikolai Coster-Waldau still found some time to kick it:
While fans await the fate of one of the best loved characters of the series, the remaining few episodes have given us plenty else to worry about.
Littlefinger, at first merely a smarmy whoremonger, is proving to be quite the evil genius. In the time it takes to deliver a well placed pimp smack, he takes out his new wife, likely securing himself a spot atop The Eyrie, and certainly securing his role as utter creep.
Littlefinger gets some help from Ludacris to send the message:
Or this version, which gets the audience involved:
And of course in the same episode, Sansa had her moment in the sun too:
Episode 8, while making us wait until the bitter end of the meager hour we get, our hero's hero, The Red Viper battles the loathsome Lannister's assassin on tap. This scene delivered one of the series' most mind blowing moments. Pun completely intended. Here is a nice alternative to the fight that left the audience in tatters.
There are also two wonderful gifs showing how Oberyn might have handled the duel with The Mountain…
To think, all he had to do was wear his helmet.
Last week's episode, The Watchers on the Wall, took us from the drama of King's Landing to what the people of Westeros should actually be more concerned about – The incoming Wildling invasion at The Wall. The brave men of the Night's Watch faced the first wave of what was promised Winter would bring, including giants on freaking mammoths, but they didn't lay down. They came into the fight like a wrecking ball.
Sadly, every battle has its epic deaths.
With so many recent changes made to the story from the books, no one knows exactly what is coming tonight. On the more serious side of things, take a peek at Geek's on going coverage of Game of Thrones to reflect on all the happenings from season four and beyond.
What do you think this season finale will bring? Let us know in the comments section below or as always, join the discussion on the GEEK Facebook page!


text: 9/21/2013 A murder mystery???? My dream last night "My cousins own this place with trees growing in it. I don't know. It's crazy." Samantha says, sitting next to me.That's how my dream began. My friends were sitting in the commons (lunch room) of my high school, gossiping about stuff. Then time flashes forward.Suddenly I'm in Hawaii, with my grandparents. We're walking along the hills."I think you're going to love our new house." My grandma says to my brother and I. We keep walking , I see a log cabin. They had described their new house to be wooden. It wasn't that log cabin though, we didn't stop walking. The neighborhood was full of small houses, green lawns, and hills. Finally we found ourselves in the crevice of a low valley and another hill. "How do you like it?" Grandma says.To be honest, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't the other log cabin. But this one was cute too. It was half wooden, and the top half was blue paneling. It had a cute porch, two stories, and it was rather square. It was sufficient though.We decided to head down to the beach.Wow. This beach was a great place to lay around.Somehow, all of my friends were on the beach.We were all in different groups, sometimes two of us, sometimes three of us. But somehow we were all on the same beach in Hawaii.We spent hours there, and I talked with some kid. (I believe he was the little boy who talks to me on the bus.)Suddenly Samantha comes up to Arianna, "Let's go," she says.Samantha, her half japanese (unnamed) cousin (let's call her Lavender), and Arianna all jump into a van.Everybody else starts getting into cars. I don't know what's going on, but since everybody else is going, I get in a car too. We arrive at this forresty part of town. It looks somewhat like a state park. We walk into a huge, dark brown outdoor gazebo. The floor is hard, flat, cement. Everywhere, there are cut-out circles in the cement for trees. The trees are tall, wide, they stretch up and up and up through the roof and way past that. It's marvelous. But what we see next is even more marvelous. We walk all the way to the other side of the gazebo, walk out of it. My eyes lay upon a valley stretching out before me, surrounded by the autumn forest all around. Red and orange and yellow leaves pad the ground and the valley. Way far away, and down below, it's a canyon with a river sweeping right through the clearing and into the forest. There's a concrete sculpture garden that Samantha and Lavender are sitting in. I join them, and Lavender's Japenese dad walks over to us. "It's pretty cool, isnt it?"I nod."That creek over there is a part of the river too"I look over. There's a shack that's painted to look like a red barn. A creek runs past it and around the corner. The shack is at the top of the hill, right before the ground scoops down into the valley."Just don't look behind the shack."He said.I was confused as to why he said not to look behind the shack. But later, Samantha said to me. "There's guts back there in the creek. Lavender's ancestors were hunters." okay here's where the story gets fuzzy I know at one point Lavender's dad said "Good news. CNN is going to come out to do a news report."UNFORTUNATELY I woke up before this happened. Now that I think about it, this would be a great plot line to find out that this generation-to-generation plot of land was actually A SPOT TO HIDE BODIES. Like holy crap.Also, at another time I dreamed that Lavender's dad was an artist and he was showing me drawing of the shack, surrounded by word art. It was beautiful handwriting. anyway. Dreams.That's it for now.

It's as though they are pounding their fists down on every instrument they have at their disposal but apart from the usual noise some seriously funky tunes twist their way through their fucked up mangle.

Blueberry and Creamcheese toast set and Chocolate Chip Frappucino by Toast Box
Missed breakfast or craved for some toast? Surely, there is a store that can satisfy your toast cravings and that would be Toast box. Their toast sets includes a toasted sandwich, 2 soft boiled eggs and you can choose between having coffee or teh (tea) add an additional 15.00 to make it into a cold drink.
This is one of the toasts from a large variety that I always order. Blueberry and Creamcheese toast just spells out SIMPLE in every serving you have. Who doesn't love bkueberries and cheese? Put them together in two loaves of bread and toast it, voila! It is definitely a recipe for a piece of heaven.
Indulgence doesn't necessarily mean expensive food, gourmet or whatsoever. A serving of these plus a good friend to talk with is indulgence itself. What more if you could have eggs and a tall glass of Milk Tea with you?
This is definitely a must try for all those coffee or cafe addicts who wants to have a breath of fresh air from the usual Starbucks, J.co or CBTL routine.

I am trying to figure out how to best run the following setup:AT&T's (dated) 2Wire 3800HGV-B modem/router as the main modem-router-hub - then I'd like to hardwire my Apple Airport Extreme base station to it, set it into bridge mode and use it as the faster wireless IEEE 802.11n hub.My main concern is internet streaming (Netflix, iTunes Store content) through my 3rd gen AppleTV that's connecting wirelessly to my network. I have no TV box on the U-verse service - just their fastest internet package.Right now I am using the 3800HGV-B's slower 802.11g wireless network and my AppleTV. The Airport base station is not hooked up yet. When I used AT&T's default setup, the AppleTV's streaming speed would not allow for 1080p or even 720p streaming without constant rebuffering. So I enabled DMZplus mode for the AppleTV and that solved that problem. I can now stream 1080p.But what happens when I add the wireless router? It's another device. Many people seem to suggest that DMZplus should be enabled for the wireless 3rd party router (Apple Airport Extreme in my case). If I do that, I can't do it for the AppleTV any more and that may slow down my streaming again.Is there a way to poke holes into the firewall of AT&T's RG for more than one device? Whenever I have tried that so far, the router seems to assign the very same IP address to all the devices that I did modifications on in the firewall settings. Doesn't that create conflicts?Thank you so much in advance for helping me out on this confusing issue.
THX1965,That is the same setup as I have. My airport extreme is in the DMZ+ and the WiFi on the 3800 is turned off through its web interface. In other words, the Extreme is the *only* WiFi network in my house. My AppleTV connects to the extreme's WiFi and streams very smoothly.Note that in this setting, the extreme is providing DHCP and NAT rather than being in bridge mode itself.
Thank you so much for your quick reply, seaprobe. Perfect that you're having the same setup.I am still having a few questions.On the 3800 did you enable the "router behind router detection" feature? It's that one little checkbox in System Info - Event notifications. - Might only be a warning feature, nobody has been able to explane this to me yet - since it's under "event notifications".So, you're leaving the Airport Express in DHCP mode, correct - in order to have it act as the main router?And the AppleTV gets its IP address from the Airport Extreme in your case. - I am assuming the AppleTV also no longer shows up in the 3800's firewall settings page then - is that correct?And one last question: are you using AT&T's DNS routers or do you use public ones, like the Google' ones (220.127.116.11 / 126.96.36.199) - if yes, when entered into the Airport Extreme's settings, will those overwrite the AT&T default ones that somehow cannot be deleted from the 3800?Thanks again for helping me on this one. I really do appreciate it.

Boston Herald Article
March 2, 2009
WBZ Radio Interview
April 5, 2009
According to the Migraine Research Foundation, nearly 1 in 4 households in the U.S. has a family member who suffers from
migraine headaches, and more than 90% of migraine sufferers are unable to work while they are suffering from a migraine.
The constant lingering fear of when another attack may occur can lead to anxiety and depression. Thankfully, recent
groundbreaking research has found a safe and effective migraine treatment that targets the root cause of the
migraine instead of just treating your symptoms.
If you suffer from migraine headaches, you probably know about some of the most common treatments for migraine headaches. Until recently, most of the treatments involve medications that don't cure your migraines and fall into two categories:
Preventative Medications:
Preventative medications attempt to diminish the severity or frequency of migraines, but they usually don't eliminate your migraines. In addition, these expensive drugs can damage your liver, kidneys, and even your central nervous system.
Pain Relieving Medications:
These medications don't help to reduce the frequency or severity of your migraines, and they don't prevent your migraine from occurring. They are taken only after your migraine has already begun, and are used only to alleviate rather than eliminate the symptoms. These drugs can drain your bank account, even if you have insurance.
If you prefer to treat only the SYMPTOMS of your migraines, and you don't mind taking potentially harmful prescription drugs for the rest of your life, then one of the above remedies will suffice, and there is no need to keep reading. However, if you're seeking a holistic solution that helps you target the real cause of your migraines, we invite you to continue reading.
Recent medical research has shown that the brains of migraine-sensitive people are structurally different from the brains of non-migraine-sensitive people. In 2007, Harvard University's Dr. Nouchine Hadjikhani conducted brain scan research at the world-renowned Massachusetts General Hospital. Her research found that the brain's somatosensory cortex was 21 percent thicker in a key region in people who suffered from migraines, compared to those who did not. The key region is the part of the cortex responsible for processing sensory information from the head and face (including the teeth). Sleep is a key time when the brain needs to regain neurotransmitter balance, and it appears that in migraine sensitive brains, when signals stream into this sensitized part of the brain during sleep that needed balance may not be achieved, leaving the brain vulnerable to having a migraine triggered the next day.
The area of greatest difference in migraine-sensitive brains is shown within the blue region above
Nighttime teeth clenching puts pressure on the roots of the teeth and the trigeminal nerve. This pressure sends signals streaming into a region of the brain that is trying to recover neurotransmitter balance. This leaves your brain imbalanced and vulnerable to being "knocked over" into a migraine by changing conditions (like a flash of light or a loud sound) any time within the following day or so. Unlike teeth grinding, which makes noise and leaves teeth worn, clenching is silent and often leaves no telltale signs. Thus many people who clench while sleeping don't know they are clenching, and that the clenching allows their migraines to happen.
Grinding is the act of clenching and moving your bottom jaw back and forth, which grinds away the enamel from your teeth. Unlike clenching, which can be silent, grinding will often produce a noticeable sound that could wake a sleeping partner.
Clenching is when your upper and lower teeth are held together with prolonged force. It may leave no visible signs, but can damage the roots of teeth, the trigeminal nerve, and the temporomandibular joint. Nighttime clenching often becomes an addictive habit, because part of the subconscious mind finds the sensation of clenching soothing. Nighttime clenching leaves the brain imbalanced and susceptible to being "knocked over" into migraine overload.
If you're like most people who clench their teeth, you probably have no idea that you clench your teeth in your sleep. Because clenching often leaves no telltale signs, you can suffer needlessly for years without ever realizing you clench. Tens of millions of people around the world clench their teeth at night without knowing it. Besides being linked to Migraine Headaches, teeth clenching can also lead to jaw pain, tooth pain, and TMJ Disorder.
When you clench your teeth in your sleep, the pressure on the roots of your teeth sends signals streaming into your brain's somatosensory cortex at a time when it is trying to recover brain chemistry balance. These signals streaming in when "quiet time" is needed leave your brain chemistry imbalanced, and vulnerable to getting "knocked over" into migraine overload.
Brain above on right (in migraine overload) is using oxygen much more and differently from non-migraine brain on left
Brains that are not migraine-sensitive can handle the rush of signals from nighttime teeth clenching, but migraine-sensitive-brains become imbalanced by these signals, so that later in the day, the brain is much more easily "knocked over" into a migraine. The migraine often doesn't start until some condition (like a flash of light or a smell or a sound) knocks the brain over into migraine overload.
Once your migraine starts, the oxygen-usage patterns of your brain shift radically, and the brain literally goes into an overload state. The image shown on the left is from some of the migraine research completed by Dr. Hadjikhani, and shows the difference in oxygen usage patterns in the brain of a person not having a migraine (on the left), compared to the same brain in migraine overload (on the right). Most migraines keep going until the overload condition burns itself out, which can take as long as three days.
If you are suffering from migraines caused by nighttime teeth clenching, you are not alone. Teeth clenching can start during stress, and often becomes a habit which the brain finds addictively soothing during sleep. Fortunately, like any habit, nighttime teeth clenching can be eliminated by re-training your subconscious mind. Finally, nighttime biofeedback brings you the tools to re-train your subconscious mind while you sleep, eliminate nighttime clenching, and free yourself from migraine pain.
This revolutionary biofeedback headband uses advanced technology to retrain your brain to respond to clenching in a new way. As you sleep, the headband detects when you clench your teeth, and makes a subtle sound which lets your brain learn to instinctively stop clenching. This is the same basic technique of classical conditioning used in the Pavlov experiment that you probably learned about in school.
Want to know the best part? This re-training can take place while you sleep, without waking you up.
A clinical efficacy study released by Holistic Technologies on January 1, 2013 showed the positive results that migraine sufferers experienced from using the biofeedback headband. Participants who suffered regular migraines before the trial found that using nighttime biofeedback to reduce their nighttime teeth clenching enabled them to eliminate or drastically reduce their migraines.
The biofeedback headband is easy to use, so unlike something complicated like a cell phone, it only takes a few minutes to learn how to operate, and most people start to see results within a few days. This comfortable headband is worn in your sleep and senses tiny muscle signals (EMG signals) that indicate you are clenching your teeth. The device makes a soft sound that increases gradually so it doesn't wake you. The audible cue tells your brain to relax and stop clenching, which stops the stream of signals into your brain's somatosensory cortex, ending the chain of events that would set up the conditions for a migraine. Practicing while awake for only a couple of minutes per day will drastically improve your response when sleeping.
The biofeedback headband has helped thousands of people like you become free of migraines by eliminating the nighttime teeth clenching that would have allowed migraines to get triggered later.
Listen to the success stories from our many happy customers who are now free from debilitating migraines.
Linda L. (interviewed by Lee Weinstein) shares about years of suffering with TMJ pain and daily migraines. She tried jaw reconstruction surgery, NTI (which made things worse), anticonvulsants, narcotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, Botox injections, had a total hysterectomy (yes, some doctors tell people to do that), spent over $10,000 on dentists, got some relief through an orthotic, and within 10 nights of using the SleepGuard biofeedback headband she was out of pain. Within four months, she could go months without wearing it.
Michele Y. (interviewed by Elizabeth Carrington) ground her teeth and got headaches for as long as she can remember. Mouth guards and muscle relaxants did nothing for her jaw pain and headaches. The NTI made things worse. Using the SleepGuard biofeedback headband, she went from 15 headaches per month to one or two per month, and got rid of her jaw pain.
Elizabeth Carrington (interviewed by Lee Weinstein) tells of her 20-year struggle with migraines, which finally ended with the SleepGuard biofeedback headband. She went from having migraines at least 3 days per week, to having no migraines for over a year.
Diane Lawrence (interviewed by Elizabeth Carrington) had many different mouth guards, but clenched so hard her jaw and fibromyalgia hurt terribly. Muscle relaxants didn't help. She tried the NTI and it "screwed up her jaw". She now thinks of her life as "before SleepGuard and after SleepGuard".
Liz Gardner (interviewed by Elizabeth Carrington) shares of getting her years of migraines and TMJ problems under control with the SleepGuard biofeedback headband.
"I was a serious grinder, but in a matter of weeks, SleepGuard helped me stop grinding my teeth. No more headaches. No more sore jaw. And best of all, I haven't had to wear a night guard in over a year!"
- L. Russell, Boston
"Before SleepGuard, every morning I would wake up feeling like I had been through a 10-round fight. My jaw and temples were tender and throbbing…my eyes were bloodshot. I searched the Internet for years for something that would help, and finally found an answer. When your package arrived, I was eager to try it and have been satisfied with the results ever since."
- K. Meehan, New York City
"I'm simply amazed at how effective this device has been for me. Averaging the first 30 days of data shows that I dropped from over 9 seconds of clenching per hour to less than one second per hour.
I was quite skeptical before using it, but the three-week free trial period convinced me to give it a try. Initially I was concerned that the alarm would constantly wake my spouse, but it hasn't been a problem at all.
Thank you for making such a device available at a reasonable price."
-Ron Blackstock, Saint Petersburg, FL
"Your product is unbelievable - I would not know where I would be without it!"
- Sito, Redwood City, CA
"Thank you for creating this product for people with bruxism who have nowhere else to turn after trying conventional remedies. The product has helped me immensely and has reduced my clenching significantly. I will recommend this product to anyone with this problem."
- Kirsten, Cape Coral, FL
"My grinding and neck pain are greatly reduced since purchasing my SleepGuard biofeedback headband, thank you."
- Anne McCullagh Rennie, Australia
The Biofeedback Headband costs about the same as a dozen migraine pills such as Imitrex, and it's only a one-time purchase, so there are no ongoing costs required other than replacing batteries and sensor pads. The pricing starts as low as $295.00, and flexible payment arrangements are also available, including a lease option. This means that you can eliminate your migraine headaches for less than 30 cents per day. All major credit cards are accepted, and we even offer refurbished units at a discounted rate. We'll even let you try it for free for 21 days. Compared to the cost of medications and the pain and suffering that you endure from migraine headaches, the cost is quite low.

Radnor Street Cemetery, Swindon. Jan 2014. I walk through this graveyard every morning on my way to work.
I don't really do new years resolutions, but if I have one, it's to take a few more photos. I've been so wrapped up in other things this last year, I've entirely neglected this wonderful pastime of mine. I often think to myself, "I wish I had my camera with me" and then instantly think that it's not interesting enough to warrant a snap. I'm going to try and get out of this habit and will try and take more pictures, no matter how seemingly mudane they might be.

Toll-like receptor 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR8 gene.[1] TLR8 has also been designated as CD288 (cluster of differentiation 288). It is a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family.
The TLR family plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This gene is predominantly expressed in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR7, on chromosome X.[2]
TLR8 recognizes G-rich oligonucleotides.[3]
Clinical significance[edit]
Genetics variants in TLR8 has recently been linked to susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis.[4]

January 15, 2014: The economic outlook for the London/St. Thomas region is
cautiously optimistic, as it continues to experience slow growth and adjusts to
considerable challenges in its manufacturing base, according to a new economic forecast
released by the St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce and the Credit Unions
of Ontario.
A complete copy of our regional report is available from the St. Thomas & District
Chamber of Commerce.
Local economic growth will remain slightly below the provincial average through
2014 and into 2015, held down by weak gains in consumer spending, personal income
and residential investment as well as declining government investment and spending.
Total employment in the region is well above its 2009 recession low, and is expected
to grow modestly over the next two years, from 327,500 in 2013 to 333,100 in 2015.
Most jobs will be created in health-social services, retail-wholesale trade and
various other service industries. Manufacturing employment is expected to hold at
current levels.
The unemployment rate is forecasted to decline to 7.6 percent in 2015, from 8.1
percent in 2013.
Housing prices across the entire London region will continue to grow at a healthy
rate and will rise to an average of $257,000 in 2015, up from $230,000 in 2011.
Housing sales are expected to pick up again in 2014 after a 0.9 percent decline
in 2013.
St. Thomas will continue to offer exceptionally good value in housing compared to
other municipalities in the region, thanks to very competitive and aggressive pricing
on land, taxes and construction. Private sector investment in non-residential building
construction, mostly stores and offices, is also expected to increase.
"The economic picture for our region isn't perfect, but it is definitely showing
improvement and promise over the long-term. We know we can improve and grow, and
this report lays the foundation to show us the way," says Bob Hammersley, President
& CEO of the St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce.
The London economic region covers Oxford, Elgin and Middlesex counties and is home
to over 660,000 residents. The region's economic base is relatively more concentrated
in manufacturing and agriculture, its primary export industries, and has a fairly
broad service industry base. Its principal centre is the London Census Metropolitan
Area (CMA) which contains most of the region's manufacturing base.
Key Facts and Highlights in our review:
The London Regional Economic Overview is one of 12 similar reports produced for
the various regions of the province as part of a large project supported through
the Chamber network by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and The Credit Unions of
Ontario. The author of our report is Helmut Pastrick, Chief Economist for Central

In addition to dubbing fire protection its No. 1 priority during a retreat on Friday, the Liberty County Board of Commissioners defined eight other goals for the current year.
The Long County graduation rate probably will drop due to a new federal formula for calculating figures, the board of education learned at its March 12 meeting.
How do novels come to be? How does a writer navigate the changing publishing industry? Why is literacy important?
SAVANNAH - Workers are suspending construction on a major bypass in Savannah after crews twice cut into gas lines buried underground.
The Coastal Georgia Area Community Action Authority Inc. still is assisting eligible households with heating bills.
While the national outlook on real estate seems to rise and fall with the stock market and mortgage company settlements, Liberty County sales figures during the past four months have held steady above last year's rates.
The Liberty County Board of Commissioners identified fire protection as its No. 1 priority for the current year during a retreat Friday.
For a second year in a row, Hinesville's local option sales tax revenues have increased following a major decrease in revenues two years ago, according to data provided by Hinesville Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Ryon.

For the second time in less than six months, a Gum Branch woman has been arrested for allegedly manufacturing methamphetamine. Virginia Burke, who also was arrested last October during a meth bust, again was apprehended Thursday for allegedly manufacturing the narcotic at a home on Bradley Lane in Gum Branch.
On Tuesday, the Liberty County Board of Commissioners approved a request from the Liberty County Historical Society similar to its current lease agreement with the Hinesville Area Arts Council.
Students and teachers in the Long County school system recently were recognized for their achievements.
The Food Network's Rachael Ray had a successful run with a show called "30 Minute Meals." I suspect it was popular because our lives are so hectic these days that when we get home in the evenings, no one feels like preparing a big supper.
Liberty County Sheriff Steve Sikes spoke to the Hinesville Rotary Club during its Tuesday meeting.
Mayor Jim Thomas has made frequent lobbying trips to Washington, D.C., on behalf of the Hinesville-Fort Stewart community. During his most recent trip, however, the trip became personal when he ran into nearly 80 former Special Forces soldiers, many of whom served with Thomas in Vietnam.

'Glee' Cast Performs Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' [VIDEO]
I have nothing to hide. I've said it before and I'll say it again..."I watch 'Glee.'" So what? It's a good show. I told you a few weeks ago that the crew would be singing Toby Keith's new catchy hit, "Red Solo Cup," and last night was the night.

Yes, that's right!
I just rented a Wacom Cintiq from my school, and I want to have some fun while I get acquainted with it. Rather than doing actual schoolwork, I think I'll draw ponies instead. Sounds like a flawless plan.
Just comment with something you'd like to see drawn. Could be an OC of yours, could be a crossover, something related to this blog, anything.
The idea(s) I pick, how many and the level of quality is up to my discretion. So no complaining! I'm not asking for anything in return for these. (However, if anyone would perhaps be interested in a trade, that would be cool.)
I have no idea what to expect from asking this, so.. yeah. Just go ahead and request/suggest away!
EDIT: Not taking requests for the time being. Try again next time!
Take them! I dont need them!
(hehe, forgive my terrible scribble of an animation. I wanted to try something different. I would have put more time in to it, but I've got an exam I'm supposed to be studying for. :< )
You ponies ask really weird questions..
I think I'll be keeping the URL the same for now. Just to keep the theme that Sweetie is answering in Rarity's place. However, when Rarity finally comes back, and if Sweetie continues to answer along with her, I might change the URL then.
Besides. I can't think of anything catchy enough.
Maybe not..

Elkhart County Sheriff Department
ECSD Info: Here is the latest Ask-the-Sheriff article from the Goshen News.
Dear Sheriff: Can you describe the process for making a citizen's arrest?
Answer: Law enforcement officers are public servants that provide law enforcement, including arrests, protection and service to our community. However, this is not a police state. We don't have, nor do we want, a police officer on every corner. Sometimes, citizens are in a position to choose to intervene in a criminal act where law enforcement officers are not present. This can be extremely dangerous and is not recommended unless you have the abilities, training and the intestinal fortitude to intervene. Before you intervene, you should know the parameters of the law relating to a citizen's arrest and the use of force to effect that arrest.
Indiana law provides that citizens may arrest those who are committing a felony or a breach of the peace. Indiana Code 35-33-1-4 says in part: "Any person may arrest (the taking of a person into custody, that he may be held to answer for a crime) any other person if: the other person committed a felony in his presence; a felony has been committed and he has probable cause to believe that the other person has committed that felony; or a misdemeanor involving a breach of peace is being committed in his presence and the arrest is necessary to prevent the continuance of the breach of peace. A person making an arrest under this section shall, as soon as practical, notify a law enforcement officer and deliver custody of the person arrested to a law enforcement officer…"
In addition to arrest, the proper use of force must be considered for the action to be legal and to avoid undue liability by the citizen. Indiana Code IC 35-41-3-3 says in part: "A person other than a law enforcement officer is justified in using reasonable force against another person to effect an arrest or prevent the other person's escape if a felony has been committed and there is probable cause to believe the other person committed that felony. However, such a person is not justified in using deadly force unless that force is justified under [IC 35-41-3-2]…"
As you can imagine, lawyers and juries have much more time to consider facts of a dynamic situation, in which you only have seconds to decide on a course of action, once confronted with an incident. Police officers face this daily.
Make sure you're knowledgeable of the law and your abilities before taking an active role in an arrest. The removal of someone's freedom improperly can cause you serious legal headaches. Sometimes it's better to just be a good witness if you or others are not in immediate peril. If you're not confident or have the ability, it's best to call 911 and let law enforcement officers handle the situation.

Much will be written in the next few days leading up to the arrival of Pirates top prospect Gregory Polanco(rumors swirling that he will be called up either for Friday's series vs the Brewers or Monday vs the Cubs, more on this later). The main focus right now is, what to do with Josh Harrison when Polanco does arrive. The good news is, no one is really saying to keep Polanco down longer while riding out Harrison's hot streak as most people still can't wait for Polanco to be called up.
I personally will be curious to see the reactions if Polanco gets called up, struggles and Harrison is back to the bench regularly. I would think the folks who are not casual baseball fans will realize that growing pains can and should be expected with Polanco once he arrives. However, after the growing pains, he could blossom into a superstar and that's the reason why for the casual fans, Polanco will play just about every day.
Josh Harrison has been doing an absolutely fantastic job for the Pirates and he's also controlled through the 2018 season so there should be no talk about trading him for value because he's a great piece to have in case of injury or complete ineffectiveness. The easy thing to say would be to move him to shortstop, which has been pretty weak to this point in the hitting department and not so reliable with Jordy Mercer making some mistakes.
If Harrison could continue to hit the way he's been hitting then you are OK with giving up a little bit on defense to get the bat in the lineup. The smart money would say that Harrison will eventually go into a major slump and everyone will remember why he's a bench guy to begin with. Another thought would be to put him at 3rd base and pretty much make a platoon with Pedro as he has troubles with lefties. The last thought to have and the one I'm probably most aligned with is to move Harrison around and find him at bats because he can play so many positions.
If there is a tough lefty on the hill, put him at 3rd base to give Pedro a day off plus you can have him(Pedro) as a power bat off the bench later in the game. You can put him at shortstop to supplant Mercer and Clint Barmes if you are facing a team that doesn't steal a lot, maybe doesn't hit into a ton of double plays or if both of those guys go completely ice cold with the bat. You could put him in Left Field to give Marte a day off or move Marte to Centerfield to give Andrew McCutchen a day off. You could put him into right field to give Polanco a day off from time to time and all of this would lead to Harrison getting plenty of at bats while not giving up on any of the current roster.
Gregory Polanco Watch
There have been rumors swirling around Twitter that the Pirates plan to call Polanco up at some point this weekend. They could call him up on Thursday, create a ton of extra buzz for the upcoming homestand and pretty much guarantee sell outs all weekend OR they could wait until Monday to call him up and sell a whole lot more tickets to the Cubs series. If they do wait until the Cubs series, they could potentially have Polanco face a lesser team than the Brewers to ease him in a bit. As it stands right now, the Pirates would face Edwin Jackson, Travis Wood. Jason Hammel and Jeff Samardzija against the Cubs. The Brewers have Kyle Lohse, Matt Garza and Yovani Gallardo slated for the weekend series.
The Pirates will use Polanco in the lead off spot which is interesting considering the great job that Harrison has done in that spot but it might be smart of the Pirates to put Polanco at lead off and put Harrison behind him or even move McCutchen up to #2 and put Walker at #3 to allow Polanco to see some better pitches. I've long been a fan of moving McCutchen up to #2, the problem has been that who would bat 3rd but I think that Neil Walker would be a fine choice to put there. This could give the following lineup:
L – Polanco – RF
R – McCutchen – CF
S – Walker – 2B
L – Davis – 1B
R – Martin – C
L – Alvarez – 3B
R – Marte – LF
R – Harrison/Mercer/Barmes – SS
Most people will want the following lineup.
Polanco – RF
Walker – 2B
McCutchen – CF
Davis – 1B
Martin – C
Alvarez – 3B
Marte – LF
Harrison – SS
It's a good lineup and again, where Harrison hits would depend on the position he is playing and if Martin is behind the plate. The big thing is, right now, this lineup is hitting with Davis at cleanup and Alvarez at 6th. It's long been said that Hurdle loves McCutchen batting 3rd so that probably won't change and Walker is doing a nice job hitting at 2. The reason for my switch is because teams fear McCutchen and that's good for Polanco.
The next week will be very exciting for the Pirates as it is at any point and time when a top prospect in the game is about to be called up. The team is off on Thursday to allow Polanco-mania to get in full gear and the MLB draft is Thursday night so it will almost be like not having a day off at all. I say Bring on the Fun!
Side Note:
Not to gloat too much but in a previous article I've written, I took a look ahead at the month of May and predicted the Pirates would be at 26-30 by the time the Dodgers series was over and BAM, NAILED IT! I hope that my other thoughts and predictions will come true for the month of June. Let's take a quick peek at the rest of the month.
Padres – 3 Wins, 0 Losses – Counting Game 1
Brewers – 1 Win, 2 Losses
Cubs – 3 Wins, 1 Loss
Marlins – 2 Wins, 1 Loss
Reds – 2 Wins, 1 Loss
Cubs – 2 Win, 1 Loss
Rays – 1 Win, 2 Losses
Mets – 3 Wins, 1 Loss
The Pirates should be: 43-39 by month's end and back in the race and only a couple games out of the Wild Card spot.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) = Nationally Sanctioned Corporate Monopoly [#geekgirl]
As the above video outlines, the hyper-secret Free Trade Agreement being currently brokered by the Trans-Pacific Partnership has nothing to do with Free Trade and is, in actuality, the inverse of it. The 12 countries involved in the TPP (which include Australia, Brunei-Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam) are currently secretly negotiating to allow:
- Drug Companies to increase prices and extend the term of their patents (thereby increasing dramatically the time before generic versions of the patented pharmaceuticals can hit the market)
- Restrictions on buying local goods and services, with individual countries being denied the ability to implement systems that mandate support of locally based product(s)
- Making Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) labelling illegal
- Weakening of environmental regulations
- Severe restrictions on digital copying and electronic transfers, with significant interference with the basic functioning of the Internet
- Radical enforcement of a system that would make SOPA look weak by comparison
- Added secrecy to corporate and government alliances, including a deliberate lack of transparency regarding institutionalised information
- A substantial negative impact regarding the regulation of Financial Services
- The ruling out of Capital Controls
- Dampening of national law implementation in favour of Partnership rulings (as Yves Smith says: "The language in [the TPP Agreement]…goes something along the lines of 'All signatories are required to make their laws and regulations conform to the standard of this agreement.' They are literally required to make their nation-based laws subordinate to the laws of these agreements [with] liberalised capital flows and minimal restrictions…One of the things to extends…is the [idea of] special panels that companies can go to to get matters adjudicated if they believe that regulations have led them to lose profit. And it's not even necessarily that they've currently lost profit, but it's that they have potentially lost profit.")
- The isolation of China
- Stigmatisation and removal of worker's rights, labour agreements and employment protections/support (superannuation, pensions, retirement ages etc).
So if, like us, you're preddy much shocked and appalled by the TPP and want to stop it dead in its tracks, watch the video below and take appropriate action.

Julian Assange sues the US military [#geekgirl]
"Julian Assange and a coalition of activists and journalists filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the military judge overseeing Army Pfc. Bradley Manning's trial in a bid to open access to the secretive proceedings.
During the trial both access to transcripts and prosecution and defense motions have been virtually inaccessible.
Bradley, who faces a life sentence over the leaking of more than 700,000 sensitive military documents published by Wikileaks, is currently being tried by a military tribunal. The trial is expected to begin on June 3, 2013.
The judge overseeing Manning's court-martial announced this week that she will close portions of the trial to the public in order to protect classified material. Prosecutors are expected to call 150 witnesses to testify against Manning, while two dozen witnesses may be able to provide their testimony in closed sessions."
Do You Detest Monsanto As Much The Next Reasonably Lucid Person? If Yes…. [#geekgirl]
…then this is for you:
"Amid growing concerns over St. Louis, Missouri-based Monsanto and the impact the company is having on agriculture, activists have planned rallies for later this month in 36 countries.
Monsanto, a titan of the emerging biotech industry, has come under attack from environmentalists, agriculturalists and average consumers over the company's conduct in the realm of genetically-modified organisms and genetically-engineered foods. Despite research on the effects of GMO crops being largely considered inconclusive, Monsanto has lobbied hard in Washington and around the globe to be able to continue manufacturing lab-made foods without the oversight that many have demanded.
In March, Congress passed a biotech rider dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act" by its critics that essentially allows that company and others that use GMOs to plant and sell genetically-altered products without gaining federal permission."

"Incredibly, some of the wealthiest, most powerful corporations pay less than you or I do in taxes.

Meanwhile, drastic cuts to our public services are taking place, threatening social security, health care, education, and much more.
It's time to stop talking about cuts, and start talking about the corporations who have changed the laws in order to avoid paying their fair share. It's time to make them pay.

From "About International Women's Day":
When: Friday 8 March 2013
Where: Everywhere
What: International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.
Why: Suffragettes campaigned for women's right to vote. The word 'Suffragette' is derived from the word "suffrage" meaning the right to vote. International Women's Day honours the work of the Suffragettes, celebrates women's success, and reminds of inequities still to be redressed.

Rajinikanth makes Twitter debut
Ahead of the release of his much-talked about film "Kochadaiiyaan", cinematic icon Rajinikanth Monday joined Twitter to make his presence felt in the digital world. He says he's looking forward to catch up on the "best Rajini one-liners".
He will engage with his fans via his handle @SuperStarRajini.
"I decided to start with Twitter because I felt that the platform is abuzz with all the news and the trends that happen across the globe and I'm told that this is where all the best Rajini one-liners are," the 63-year-old said in a statement.
One of India's most prolific and influential superstars, Rajinikanth's mass popularity and appeal is largely drawn from his mannerisms and stylised dialogue delivery. The usually reticent star is looking forward to interacting with his fans on the platform.
"I've always believed that my career graph is a miracle I owe my fans. I have been contemplating joining the social media platform for a while to connect with them, hear what they have to say and share my thoughts. Unfortunately, I never got around to it until now," he said.
Thalaivar, as he is lovingly called, has partnered with CA Media Digital's first venture, Fluence - a celebrity digital network, which will manage his digital presence.
"I am confident that I have the best team and the best guides who will help me connect with my audience," said the superstar.
Twitter's India Market director Rishi Jaitly said: "We welcome Rajinikanth to Twitter, are happy to support his launch on the platform, and look forward to watching him use our mobile service to engage in live, public conversations with fans and other icons around the world."
To make Rajinikanth's debut on Twitter more exciting, fans from all over the world, who follow him on @SuperStarRajini in the first week, will receive a 'WelcomeGraph', a personalised welcome picture from the icon.
His new film "Kochadaiiyaan", directed by his younger daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin, is releasing Friday. Touted as the country's first 'photo-realistic performance capture' movie, the movie has generated interest with its new format.
