Peter Auger, Auburn Hills City Manager
Thoughts on running a city, daily musings, and everything in between.
City Manager, Auburn Hills, MI
By Karrie Marsh, Executive Assistant and Guest Blogger
"Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude."
"People often say motivation doesn't last. Neither does bathing—that's why we recommend it daily."
These are two of my favorite quotes from a World War II vet, who was a top sales person in several organizations before becoming a motivational speaker and a trainer. He has trained individuals, non-profits, small business and many Fortune 500 companies. He became well known for blending his own religious beliefs with positive thinking to create a philosophy that was his own.
Sadly, Zig Ziglar passed away yesterday. However, due to his passion for wanting to help people and businesses grow both professionally and personally, he had written over 25 books on leadership, personal growth, sales, faith and family.
Over the years, I have met people of all ages that were influenced by Zig Ziglar's wisdom. I always find it interesting to see what quote or lesson has inspired people. I remember a coworker from several years back that always kept a list of his short term and long term goals in his wallet. He stressed to me that I should do the same. The goals were personal, professional, spiritual and financial.
I followed his advice in 2005 and was amazed when I came across the list a few years later. I had surpassed some of the goals, began others and completely forgotten a few. Reviewing the list reminded me about what is important to me in each category. Life gets busy so the list is a quick reminder of the path I want to be on and a reminder not to get caught up in the trivial things in life.
Thoughts of Zig Ziglar will always remind me that attitude is so important, amongst other things. So how is your attitude today at work? At home? With your relationships? It is never too late to refocus in the direction you want to go.

Well, despite any good intentions I think I'm going to have to accept my shape the way it is. I am a bit more toned, particularly on my legs but I don't think I will ever have muscular arms so I'm stuck with my little twig arms. I've decided that a more worthwhile goal will be to focus on my fitness rather than shape, and I'm starting up a new goal to exercise regularly.
ZombieFlesh has written 14 entries about this goal
I tried a different work out last night and it was a lot more challenging than what I normally do – I couldn't keep up in some parts cause the movements were so fast and varied. BUT I had so much more fun and it really energised me. I think I've been taking it too easy, and working harder made me feel like what I was doing was more worthwhile. So, out with the old plan. Instead of doing a 1 hour slow & gentle (boring!) workout, I'm going to carry on with the 30 minutes intense one and see how it goes.
I've had a bug for the past few weeks and I'm only just managing to shake it off. Haven't had a proper workout for ages now, but I have been walking a lot so at least I've still been active. Might try and exercise outside now the weather is getting nicer.
I gave up on this goal at some point last year. Now my life is a bit more settled I think it's about time I got those exercise videos out of the box and start paying more attention to eating healthily.
I am very slim for my height but I eat junky sugary foods all the time which I need to cut down on. My dad and my grandma were both diagnosed with diabetes, and after reading up on a few things I've found that you can pretty much prevent that type of diabetes by managing your diet in the right way.
I want to bulk up a bit so I'm going to tackle that by eating more proteins and carbs, and try and make my portions larger or eat a starter/side/dessert with my main meal.
I already walk for at least 30 minutes a day, I also want to start having a planned exercise session at least once a week, and then build up to 3 times a week.
until I move out, then I can turn one of the spare rooms into a weights room and really get on with things.
an account with http://www.traineo.com
It's a free website which helps you with fitness/weight loss.
Once I've figured out all the features I'll set up my own training plan so I can monitor exactly what I do.
I had to run to catch my train this morning, and by the time I reached it I could hardly breathe! I am so unfit!! I have been putting this off so much, I need to create an exercise plan so I can get into a routine and stick to it.
Back down again, 6540 steps yesterday. Was sat down all day at work and then sat down at my sewing machine when I got home. I guess it's not bad considering that I didn't make an effort.
9352 steps yesterday, that's more like it! Nearly at the 10k mark.
5655 steps yesterday. I am hoping that the amount I walk at the weekend will make up for my slacking!
Going to take a walk into town during my luchbreak today so that should boost my total a bit.

Even our English cousins may not be cynical or ruthless enough to do stylized French plays. They only chopped off one head in their Revolution. The French removed thousands. English novelists tend to treat their betters with wry amusement. French writers invariably portray theirs as swine. This occurred to me as my mind wandered from Nicholas Martin's production of "The Rehearsal," Jean Anouilh's play about French aristocrats in 1950 rehearsing an 18th-century comedy of manners for a weekend party. At its best, the transatlantic cast which includes (together again!) Roger Rees and David Threlfall of "Nicholas Nickleby," and some fine young Americans brings the play toward English drawing room comedy. But the actors cannot make the leap into the rarefied and sinister world of decadent French aristocrats. The level of decadence can be gauged when the countess joins forces with her husband's mistress against an innocent lower-class girl with whom her husband is infatuated. The mistress says of the man they share: "I've never really forgiven you for being his best friend while he was my lover."
They are so threatened by the girl that the countess persuades her husband's boyhood friend to seduce the girl in her room in an otherwise empty wing of their chateau. This is pretty ugly, and, on the basis of this production, I'm afraid we Anglo-Saxons just aren't up to it. Rees and Threlfall are strong recalling their cruel boyhood. Neither, however, seems suave or mature enough to suggest their childhood was all that long ago. Kathryn Meisle is wonderfully vivacious as the mistress. As the countess, Frances Conroy projects the tart humor sharply, but her bitterness is too obvious she is, after all, kin to the heartless women in "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," and Conroy lacks the requisite impassivity or evil. Anna Gunn is not artless or innocent enough as their victim. Nicholas Kepros plays the one decent aristocrat capably. Frederick Weller has an engaging lusty energy that seems very American. Robert Brill's set has the proper coldness and grandeur. Michael Krass' costumes, especially for the two cunning women, lack the proper austerity and taste. They would work better in a '20s Ben Travers farce. Come to think of it, so would everything else.
Love in a mist of subtle debauchery, a young girl betrayed and a revenge cruelly achieved, these may not be the common stuff of comedy, but they bitterly serve in Jean Anouilh's "The Rehearsal," revived in fair-to-middling fashion last night by the Roundabout Theater on its larger stage at the Criterion Center.
Innocence and its corruption, artlessness in the midst of artifice - these were prime concerns of Anouilh, the popular but serious French dramatist of the mid-century who himself seemed to veer confusingly between style and content.
Of course, the style of this temporarily underrated playwright was as French as its content, and Anouilh traced his dramatic antecedents back to the classic Marivaux and even Moliere.
In "The Rehearsal" - one of his plays Anouilh dubbed "brilliant," as opposed to his other four play categories, "rose," "black," "costume," and "grating" - the debt to Marivaux is overt. Set in an aristocrat's chateau in 1950, a group fo rich French blue-bloods are rehearsing a performance of Marivaux's "The Double Inconstancy" for a society ball.
The plot of this 18th-century Marivaux play within the play, where a charming pair of young peasants are whisked off into the insincerity of a fashionable court, is echoed hollowly in Anouilh's own modern theme, when the feckless owner of the castle, disregarding his wife and his mistress, falls in love with an innocent penniless governess brought in for the amateur theatricals.
The new translation by Jeremy Sams - replacing the old one by Kitty Black and Pamela Hansford Johnson - seems a tone or two darker than before, but Nicholas Martin's staging lacks something in finesse and crispness.
It is not much helped by Richard Brill's dull setting - surely one would not find a cheapo photo reproduction of Fragonard in a real-life chateau - and 18th-century costumes by Michael Krass, which too busily make a comment.
The performances vary. The best comes from Roger Rees as the self-hating, alcohol-sodden Hero (ironically that's his name, not his self-styled occupation of "breaking things") who in a powerful, savage portrayal of villainous friendship actually effaces my memory of the great Alan Badel in this same role.
David Threlfall - with an accent most oddly chosen for an aristocrat - does commandingly well as the Count who unavailingly falls in love (what a romantic Anouilh was under that carapace of cynicism) for his first and only time, while Anna Gunn is all couth sweetness as the almost savvy-enough object of those affections or affectations.
The rest, apart for a sterling Nicholas Kepros as the young girl's ambiguously motivated guardian, are just leaning to the wrong side of satisfactory, with a haughty Frances Conroy as the Countess determined to have her cake and bake it, unfortunately leaning further than the adequate Kathryn Meisle and Frederick Weller.
More than most Anouilh, "The Rehearsal" is an exercise in style - it is no accident that its French title is a pun, "Le Repetition" meaning not simply rehearsal but also, literally, repetition.
This sense of modernized, "repeated" if you will, Marivaux must be stressed yet modulated, right from Anouilh's very first joke, when the Countess enters in 18th-century garb and disconcertingly lights a cigarette.
Apart from Rees - who very properly seems like a refugee from a modern version of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" - the whole production misses that special two-time resonance that can make this comedy of extraordinary bad manners shiver with pure pain.
When Roger Rees storms a citadel of virtue, he comes well armed. Playing the ironically named Hero, an alcoholic French aristocrat, in the Roundabout Theater Company's mostly uninspired revival of Jean Anouilh's ''Rehearsal,'' he sets out to disenchant a purity-girded young woman with a stunning arsenal of actorly weapons.
Circling his prey with a look that suggests both the clinical strategist and the self-loathing masochist within, Hero never appears entirely in control. But as he shifts between oily seductiveness and violent attack, with a self-conscious theatricality that is nonetheless perfectly calibrated, Mr. Rees creates the sense of the entire world of an idle class in which love is a blood sport whose rules must be obeyed.
By the time Hero has pierced and shattered the heart of the radiant, unworldly Lucile (Anna Gunn), it is clear that the encounter has claimed two victims. ''I like breaking things,'' Hero often says, in the play's most resonant line. Now, it seems, he has finally achieved his lifelong goal and broken himself beyond redemption.
This memorably nasty skirmish finds the rage that almost always lies behind Anouilh's mannered, whimsical portraits of sophisticated societies that eat their idealists for breakfast. For one moment, the cutting double edges of this world of artifice glitter dangerously. They are only sparks, however, in an evening that remains largely an unformed shadow of what it needs to be.
It could be argued that Mr. Rees's performance is too visibly thought through, but at least it has been thought through, and with considerable intelligence. Drop the quotation marks from around the play's title, and you have a sense of what the rest of this version of ''The Rehearsal'' feels like.
The production, directed by Nicholas Martin (''Full Gallop''), is a gorgeously dressed-up work in progress, with actors still groping to find a style that fits them as well as Michael Krass's lavish period costumes. Seen against Robert Brill's spare but elegant renderings of the rooms of a French chateau in 1950, the performers often seem like restless fashion models rattling off memorized speeches (and long speeches they are), while they're waiting to be photographed by Deborah Turberville.
The company Mr. Martin has assembled is brave and, in some cases, very talented, but there are instances of crucial miscasting. And the several weeks of preparation they've been allowed just isn't enough for a work in which every element must click with the precision of a minuet.
Like many of the plays of Anouilh, probably the most popular Continental dramatist of the midcentury, ''The Rehearsal'' pits the forces of wealth and corruption against a single, impoverished character of exasperatingly solid goodness. As the critic Eric Bentley has pointed out, Anouilh's virgins ''stand alone in a world of debauchees: they yearn for the absolute in the morass of the relative.''
You may know these paradigms as the heroines of Anouilh's better-known plays ''Antigone'' and ''The Lark,'' his portrait of Joan of Arc. Here, the figure who by her very presence threatens the superficial code by which a group of languorous aristocrats exist is a poor teacher of orphans, Lucile.
This deliberately schematic play is partly shaped by the echoes that come from the preparations for a dinner-party production of Marivaux's 18th-century comedy ''The Double Inconstancy.'' But it more directly recalls the more sinister social indictments of ''Les Liaisons Dangereuses'' and Jean Renoir's movie masterpiece, ''The Rules of the Game.'' While it luxuriates in scheming erotic maneuvers and scintillating wit, it is never blind to the malignancy beneath the polish.
The idea of the game, in fact, is the dominant metaphor. In portraying the tangled affairs of the Count (David Threlfall) and Countess (Frances Conroy), who are staging the Marivaux play, it becomes evident that the cardinal rule is never to feel too deeply. Revenge, playfully executed, is a worthy recreation; real love, on the other hand, is dangerously disruptive.
When Lucile, impervious to the seductions of luxury, is brought in to play the ingenuous heroine in ''The Double Inconstancy,'' the disruption begins. She has obviously aroused sentiments in the Count that could rend the fabric of a life lived, as the Count tells his wife, ''as others dance, harmoniously and with measured steps and, above all, a sense of style.''
To fly, any production of ''The Rehearsal'' must apply that style as uniformly and thoroughly as the lacquer on an 18th-century cachepot. Mr. Martin, who brought an elegant and even hand to his staging of ''The Royal Family'' at Williamstown, Mass., last summer, provides only blotches of varnish here.
There are some fetching bits of business throughout: a scene of two women in 18th-century costume circling each other in a dance of coldblooded assessment; some farcical simultaneous openings of doors; and a startling sexual image of the Count's mistress, Hortensia (Kathryn Meisle), seen lounging as nothing but a pair of legs and a pannier skirt.
But the necessary rhythms aren't sustained, either in the direction or in most of the performances. The gifted Mr. Threlfall, who teamed brilliantly with Mr. Rees in the historic Royal Shakespeare Company production of ''Nicholas Nickleby,'' projects the antic, touching restiveness of the Count, but none of his surface suavity. When Lucile tells him that he is still the uncertain, posturing boulevardier of his youth, she's supposed to be seeing what no one else can; she's not. And Mr. Threlfall's accent slides bizarrely between English gentry and Maurice Chevalier.
Ms. Conroy doesn't give bad performances. But she seems tired from the get-go here, as if already daunted by all those densely printed pages of speeches. She has excellent moments, especially in her air of reluctant abasement when the Countess is forced to apologize to Lucile, but her delivery is mostly pitched at one constrained, uncomfortable level.
Ms. Meisle, at least, bites into her acid lines with relish. (She's terrific in the play-within-the-play scenes.) The reliable Nicholas Kepros is fine in the drab part of Lucile's elderly guardian. But the handsome young Frederick Weller, as the Countess's overardent lover, tackles his character like a college football player.
In the all-important role of Lucile, Ms. Gunn, making her Broadway debut, has the right centered calmness. But Anouilh's virgins are tricky: they really do need some of that feverish, waifish incandescence that was the specialty of Julie Harris, who famously played his St. Joan. Ms. Gunn has the sunny sturdiness of a Cybill Shepherd, and one feels she could deck any of the dilettantes around her with a swift jab to the right.
Nonetheless, faced with the corrosive charms of Mr. Rees's Hero, who is sent to seduce Lucile by the Countess, she crumples most affectingly. And Mr. Rees, who has been carefully planting the seeds for that scene throughout his performance as the Count's childhood friend with his own vengeful agenda, lets the poison out of his character like a surgeon lancing a blister.
It's a harrowing moment, all right. It is also the penultimate scene in the production, and it's a mighty long time in coming.
The Rehearsal," Jean Anouilh's modern classic of absolute, unwavering and triumphant cynicism, is a very dark dance indeed at the Roundabout Theater Co. Despite the glittering silver and gold gowns, and a bright white set that almost hurts the eyes, there's nothing less than evil lurking beneath every sequin, smile and bon mot. As the comedy ever so gradually owns up to its own dim view of humanity, so too does Nicholas Martin's first-rate production, its company of actors slowing peeling away the characters' masks of urbane sophistication to reveal the monsters underneath.
Broadway's second revival this week of a play from postwar Europe ("The Rehearsal" opened in Paris in 1950, Noel Coward's "Present Laughter" in London, 1947), Martin's "Rehearsal" succeeds precisely where Scott Elliott's "Laughter" fails: The director of the Roundabout production trusts his material -- trusts his playwright -- and forces nothing. The descent into the play's black soul is as sure as it is unstoppable.
Set in a French chateau in 1950, "Rehearsal," like "Present Laughter," focuses on a close-knit (or at least closely bound) group of sophisticates whose personalities are reflected through the artifice of theater. The Count de Febroques (David Threlfall) has gathered his small coterie in preparation for a lavish party that will include, as per the Count's custom, an elaborate, if amateur, production of a play. The Count, a fun-loving 40-year-old whose steadfast refusal to grow up borders on the decadent, has outfitted his wife and friends in 18th-century dress (Michael Krass' stunning costumes) to rehearse Marivaux's 1723 French classic "The Double Inconstancy."
The Count, who's charming, however devilish, has cast all his actors in roles that mirror their own personalities, so that his wife, the Countess (Frances Conroy) plays a scheming grade dame, his beautiful though heartless lover, Hortensia (Kathryn Meisle, very funny playing a bad actress) plays type, and the lovely, unaffected governess of his children portrays an ingenue noted for just such attributes. It is through these machinations that the Count, as the protagonist of the play-within-the-play, can truthfully express his love for the young girl.
A love, not incidentally, that threatens to obliterate the delicate balance of mendacity with which this clique functions. While the Count and Countess remain intellectual "best friends," each indulging in open-secret affairs (he with Hortensia, she with the handsome though foolishly valiant young stud Villebosse, nicely played by Frederick Weller), their finely constructed marital arrangement has never before been violated by the outside interference of true love.
The Countess, who loves the Count more than she pretends, isn't the only one who fears her husband's newfound emotional rejuvenation. Hortensia, who doesn't love the Count but is loath to be abandoned by him, forms an uneasy alliance with the Countess ("If I were his mistress, I certainly wouldn't allow myself to be treated like this," the wife says to the lover). Soon they're joined by Hero (Roger Rees), the Count's childhood friend, a drunken rogue whose unmitigated cynicism can't tolerate his old friend's happiness. And Hero has a secret, long-ago score to settle with the Count, a score that provides the play its brutal, tragic ending.
During its first act, Anouilh's play, in this very witty translation by Jeremy Sams, has the shimmer of French farce and the breezy mood of a play by, well, Noel Coward. The tone is best exemplified by Conroy's Countess, all surface charm and nonchalant worldliness. She doesn't mind her husband's flings as long as they're with someone as nonthreatening as the vain Hortensia, but faced with the possibility of actually losing her husband -- especially to someone as unsullied as the governess, Lucile (Anna Gunn) -- she turns desperate and vicious. Silly schemes meant to embarrass the girl into resigning give way to something dreadful, a plot in which the drunken, disillusioned Hero is all too willing to participate.
Martin draws thrilling performances from his actors, particularly Rees as the once-loving friend broken by loss and alcohol, a nihilist left only with a fondness for "breaking things." Threlfall and Conroy are terrific as the Count and Countess, each revealing the emotional layers (he the wonder of first, however late, love; she the desperation of losing it) beneath the surface sophistication. Meisle is the embodiment of poisonous vanity (and very, very funny to boot), and Weller gives dimension to the impetuous hunk. Only newcomer Gunn, as the unspoiled governess, seems a bit out of her league, rising to the occasional moment but displaying little of the innocent allure that has the male characters entranced and females jealous.
Martin, who lends the production the same panache he gave the Diana Vreeland bio-play "Full Gallop," carefully guides the play's shifting moods -- notice how the brightly lit chateau gives way to the darkness of the governess's bedroom, where evil trumps innocence. The director gets able support from a technical team that includes set designer Robert Brill, costumer Krass and lighting designer Kenneth Posner.
While rehearsing the play-within-the-play, a character describes the farce as "the elegant anatomy of a crime." That's as good a description of this production as any.

Notebooks and digital cameras go great together,
especially on vacations. After taking a slew of pictures, it's
always fun to be able to import them from the camera and put them
into your favorite software. Once again, the Solid State Drive
excels at this function.
Of course, before you can use your laptop
you have to boot to the Windows Desktop. I know a few people
who leave their notebooks in stand-by just so they can cut down on
the amount of time it takes to have a useable computer. Well,
stand-by isn't always the answer because battery power can be
precious depending on your travel arrangements. According to
the benchmarks, the SSD can have you at the Desktop quicker than a
typical hard drive.
Solid State Drives are still an evolving
technology. You can tell by taking a quick glance at the price that
we're going to be paying for a lot of the research and development
costs until the products mature. After that we can expect to see the
prices begin to stabilize a little more. As far as the price goes,
there isn't much to to say other than, it is what it is. Most
enthusiast call the usually high price on cutting edge technology
the early adopter's tax. On a positive note, OCZ currently
has the most competitively priced Solid State Drive in its size
class, on the market.
Being manufactured in a 2.5" form factor,
the Solid State Drive is poised as a replacement for notebook hard
drives. Some of the benchmarks I've highlights here show that the
solid state drive is quite capable of performing "C drive" duties.
While the write speed benches were lower than the 5400RPM 2.5"
Toshiba drive, read speed benches clearly show the the drive is able
to keep up with the Western Digital Raptor. The Solid State Drive
excels at reading routines that require frequent access to many
smaller files, such as in a random pattern. That just basically
means that depending on how you typically use your system, Your
Mileage May Vary when it comes to performance numbers you see.
The one thing we have to keep in mind is that this is an
evolving technology and is touted as a SATA I device. I would expect
the next generation to set the bar in solid state performance.

Our Guest Diver's Comments:
" I have to say that diving in Raja Ampat exceeded all my exceptionally high expectations.
I don't know how I held my regulator in my mouth on some of those initial dives since my jaw was dropping in disbelief at the sheer amount of life. I have never seen anything like it anywhere...Unfortunately, I don't think anything will ever be able to compare. How do you do two days of diving and see wobbegong sharks, epaulet sharks, eels, seahorses, turtles, banded pipefish, cuttlefish, lionfish, crocodilefish, anenomefish, shrimps, crabs, nudibranchs, flatworms, robust ghost pipefish, sea snakes, and countless species of fish? It was mind boggling to see it all. Sometimes the dives were a kaleidoscope of color with soft coral, hard coral, fish, and crinoids in every imaginable color.
We even had the fortune to see both hard coral and soft coral spawning. Fricking AWESOME!!! !"

Dean Devlin (born August 27, 1962) is an American screenwriter, producer, television director and former actor. He is the founder of the production company Electric Entertainment. Devlin was born in New York City, the son of actress Pilar Seurat and Don Devlin, a writer, actor, and producer. His father was Jewish and his mother was Filipino. He is married to actress Lisa Brenner. Devlin appeared as an actor on numerous television shows throughout the 1980s. He also appeared in films including My Bodyguard, The Wild Life, Real Genius and Martians Go Home. Due to his youthful appearance, Devlin often played teenage characters despite being in his 20s. Devlin gradually began writing scripts. His first produced screenplay was for Universal Soldier which was a worldwide hit. He reached prominence as a writer/producer working alongside director Roland Emmerich with whom he teamed after appearing in Emmerich's film Moon 44. Together they cowrote and produced Stargate which became the first movie to have a web site (run by Devlin himself). The team then produced Independence Day and Godzilla. Their final collaboration was on the 2000 Mel Gibson film The Patriot, where Devlin met his future  ( Wikipedia article )

Location & area
World famous for its regenerative waters, Karlovy Vary is the oldest of the Bohemian spas, and probably the second most popular tourist city in the Czech Republic, after Prague. It's also the most beautiful of the 'big three' spas in the republic and, despite the crowds, the most accessible. Though you can't just pop in for a sulphurous bath or gas-inhalation therapy, you can sample the waters till your teeth float. There are 12 hot springs containing 40 chemical elements that are used to medically treat diseases of the digestive tract and metabolic disorders, so whether you have diarrhoea or constipation, this is the place to come. In spite of its purging qualities, Karlovy Vary still manages a definite Victorian air. The elegant colonnades and boulevards complement the many peaceful walks in the surrounding parks, and the picturesque river valley winds between wooded hills. The spa offers all the facilities of a medium-sized town without the bother; after hustling around Prague, this is a nice place to relax amidst charming scenery.
Karlovy Vary was founded around the year 1350 by the Czech king and the Roman Emperor Charles IV. The clients from more than 80 countries of the world visit the town every year. The hot curative springs with the temperature from 42 degree Celsius till 72 degree Celsius are used for the drinking cure, for the baths and the irritations. The spa physicians treat every client individually. The spa guests can combine your stay with the gastronomic experiences, with the music or sport, there is the possibility of the trips to the over 2200 ha of spa woods on foot or by the funicular. There is a beautiful horseracing course since 1899, a golf course with 18 holes, several tennis courts, several billiards, squash and other sport facilities.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English into sanity.Jim Butcher
One never needs their humor as much as when they argue with a fool.Chinese Proverb
A sense of humor always withers in the presence of the messianic delusion, like justice and truth in front of patriotic passion.Henry Louis Mencken
A man sufficiently gifted with humor is in small danger of succumbing to flattering delusions about himself, because he cannot help perceiving what a pompous ass he would become if he did.Konrad Lorenz
Humor is richly rewarding to the person who employs it. It has some value in gaining and holding attention, but it has no persuasive value at all.John Kenneth Galbraith
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.Edward de Bono
I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel.James Humes
Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truthVictor Borge
Gaiety that sweetens existence and makes it wholesome - a sense of humor, a zest of enjoyment - this is the accompaniment of courage which gives it a supreme value. Something of the high laughter of a Cyrano de Bergerac - the world needs it.Dr. Herbert Hichen
We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American danceMartha Graham
Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.Christopher Morley
A wife is essential to great longevity; she is the receptacle of half a man's cares, and two-thirds of his ill-humor.Charles Reade
The first thing you lose on a diet is your sense of humor.Author Unknown
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies.Rudolph Giuliani
Probably it is impossible for humor to be ever a revolutionary weapon. Candide can do little more than generate ironyLionel Trilling
Affection without sentiment, authority without cruelty, discipline without aggression, humor without ridicule, sacrifice without obligation, companionship without possessiveness.William E. Blatz
Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will.John Kenneth Galbraith
Humor is also a way of saying something serious.T. S. Eliot
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.Dwight D. Eisenhower

Hi peeps!
First real post on here so be gentle with me!!
Looking for a bit of advice to clarify things in my/our head(s). At present all of our services are provided through the council in the form of a contract that runs out next year end Q1. The prices for renewal are a tad on the high side to say the least, which has sent us down the road of looking at alternatives. The stage we are at is that we have suitable quotes for ISP link provision but are now seriously looking at Office 365 to essentially provide email for the school (plus we get the other goodies of Lync, Team Sites etc.) Microsoft have put us in touch with one of their partners and they have set us up with a trial which has impressed us so......
1) What do we need to do to get the domain verified so that we get educational pricing then eventually swung over to 365? We have mentioned it to the contact in the council and we are getting some hmms and aaghs at the mo. We will also need it redirecting/moved at some stage - which?
2) Can the email accounts and data be copied into 365 from the councils exchange set up? If so how?
2) We are looking to move the website to another host as it currently built in Joomla and we don't want to have to do too much whilst the rest of things are kicking off. Would we have to move the domain to 365 then redirect web traffic to the external host or get web traffic moved directly to the new host?
Sorry if some of this is a bit basic to some but we need pointing in the right direction..
Thanks, Rob

Trouble Breathing on the Bike? Then Here's a Nos(e)trum to Consider
If you caught any of the video coverage of the Tour de France, you may have noticed that many of the racers had what looked like Band-Aids plastered across their noses. This wasn't the aftermath of an epidemic of faceplants—though there were plenty of those, too. The "Band-Aids" were, in fact, Breathe Right nasal strips, or something very like them. These are small adhesive-backed elastic bands, designed to flare the nostrils and make breathing easier. And wonder of wonders, they actually do what the advertising copy promises. How do I know? I use them myself.
Once upon a time, when I was young and foolish, I tried skiing through a tree. The experiment didn't go well, and my nose absorbed some of the not inconsiderable impact. Now, many years later, I still have trouble breathing through my nose. This difficulty is exacerbated by high pollen counts, wood smoke, dusty dirt roads, and exhaust pollution, so there's really no escape, and the problem becomes particularly acute when I'm riding my bike. City or country, it makes no difference. When I leave the heavy traffic behind, lawnmowers riding the range lie in wait for me. Decongestants help, but not for long, and the side effects are annoying. Often the cure is worse than the disease. Breathe Right strips, however, give me a measure of relief without any of the drawbacks of medication. It's a good bargain.
Here's a close-up:
It looks a little like a small Band-Aid, and in fact Breathe Right strips are packaged and sold like those familiar first-aid items…
And they go on pretty much the same way. Just clean your face to remove any accumulated grime and oil—this is especially important if you're apply a strip in mid-ride!—then dry the skin and stick the Breathe Right strip in place. Take some care in placing it. You want the center of the strip to rest well below the bridge of your nose, with the ends falling just above the flaring bulb on either side. (The package contains a handy illustrated leaflet to help you get the position exactly right.) Size matters, too. If your nose is listed along with other prominent local landmarks in tourist brochures, you'll probably need Large Breath Rights. The rest of us can rub along with Small/Medium. Most HyperMart pharmacies stock both sizes.
Two caveats: Don't rip Breath Right's off at ride's end. The adhesive is tenacious. It's better by far to ease them off gently in the shower. And read the package carefully if you have a latex allergy. The standard ("Tan") strips contain latex, though there's a "Clear" version that claims to be safer for "sensitive skin." You're on your own here, I'm afraid. I've always used the Tan strips.
There's not much more to say. Breathe Rights do the job, at least for me. The stickum holds tight even through long rides on hot, humid days, and they keep my sunglasses from slipping down my nose, too. I carry a dozen or so in my handlebar bag at all times, along with some alcohol swabs to clean my skin. That way I can be sure I always breathe easy, even when slogging down a dirt road right after a pack of SUVs has stirred things up.
Will Breathe Rights make you a force to be reckoned with in next year's Tour? Probably not. But if you've set your sights a little lower, and if your nose is still holding you back, they're worth trying.

Text and Pictures by Jennifer Carnell
A spectacularly intricate Torquay marble brooch designed to show off the array of Devon marbles and fossils found in the area.
Some Torquay pieces were far more intricate in design and manufacture
than Scottish agate
jewellery. Items were also produced in Exeter, Totnes and probably in
other local towns.
The Devon trade also produced bracelets, tables, vases, pen trays, thermometers, rulers, seals, postal scales, paperweights and numerous other objects.
In 1851 John Woodley of Torquay exibited tables inlaid with Devon Marbles at the Great Exhibition and John Bradley of Exeter submitted a slate table painted to imitate eighty types of Devon marble.
Henry Champernowne of Totnes also exhibited a fossil and marble table and the official catalogue said of the Devon stones and the challenge of working with them:
'The marbles of Devonshire are often coralline, but generally very crystalline and much altered, the fossil remains being more or less obliterated. They often exhibit veins, and are varied and rich in colour. The chief objection to them in working, arises from the frequent irregularity of texture they present, and their brittleness.'
A smaller Devon marble and fossil brooch.
Devon marble jewellery is often mistaken for Scottish agate and even pietra dura or Ashford marble from Derbyshire.

An elaborate Devon marble pen tray with marble, fossil and malachite inlay.
A large inkwell holder.
An interesting example of a Devon brooch with a a varied array of fossils
and marble.
Although I didn't see it, there was an exhibition about the local marble industry at Torquay Museum in 2012.
A large Victorian Devon malachite leaf brooch, probably made by Aaron
Brothers or Bradford of Torquay.
As well as Devon marbles from local quarries, the Devon makers of marble jewellery also used malachite imported from Russia.
One of the Torquay firms who specialised in silver and malachite jewellery was Aaron Brothers. They were active in the early 1850s and exhibited at the Irish Industrial Exhibition of 1853 when they entered:
A 'silver taper stand on malachite leaves; engraved and gilt match box, inlaid; richly chased silver-gilt eagle on malachite pedestal; engraved and gilt casket, inlaid; silver and malachite box, for postage stamps; silver-gilt engraved paper knife, malachite handle; brooches and bracelets in malachite.'
Edwin Bradford was making malachite jewellery and other goods, including
malachite boxes and malachite scales, in Torquay as early as the 1840s.
This malachite and silver bracelet was produced by Bradford in 1849.
Interestingly, the silver bracelet part was made by Hilliard and Thomason, and hallmarked by them in Birmingham, and Bradford then added the malachite and his own name and 'Torquay'.
Edwin Greenslade Bradford (c.1818-1874) was born in Newton Abbot, Devon and was based at 9 Strand, Torquay.
In 1851 he described himself as a jeweller and watchmaker and in 1861 stated he was a goldsmith and marble mason.
He was probably related to James Bowbeer Bradford (c.1814-1879) and Denis John Bradford (c.1826-1911), who were also born in Newton Abbot, Devon and who also worked as jewellers in Torquay.

A moon and heart malachite brooch.
In August 1854 the following malachite items were awarded for archery
at the Archery Fete held at Torquay Cricket Club at Chapel Hill Cross:
2nd Member's Prize for Ladies: a handsome malachite brooch' won by Miss C. Maden
2nd Member's Prize for Gentleman: a set of malachite buttons, set in gold' won by Mr. W.R. Hole.
Visitors Prize for Ladies: a malachite stamp box' won by Mrs. West.

Longboat sidewalk project begins
Date: May 27, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Florida Department of Transportation began work on a $298,864 sidewalk gap and right-turn-lane addition project Wednesday, May 27, on the south end of Longboat Key.
Contractor Frederick Derr & Company Inc. will fill in sidewalk gaps on the west side of Gulf of Mexico Drive from Quick Point Preserve to Bay Isles Road.
Work began Wednesday from Quick Point Preserve to Longboat Club Road.
The project also calls for an expansion of the northbound right-turn lane at Bay Isles Parkway between Veranda and Islands West condominiums.
A new northbound right-turn lane at Broadway and Gulf of Mexico Drive is also included as part of the project.
Sidewalk work is expected to be completed in a few weeks, and the entire project has a completion date of September.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa said the town has been working to start this project for years.
Lower construction bids and the use of federal funds to pay for the project, Florensa said, made this the perfect time to start the project.
Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the Florida Department of Transportation project, said concrete would begin to be poured in new sidewalk frames starting Thursday.
No traffic delays are expected as a part of the sidewalk project. And, right-turn-lane extensions being performed next month will only create minor delays, Alfonso said.
Black tarps surrounding drains and draped in front of some properties are meant to keep the drains safe from construction materials during the sidewalk expansion.
Sidewalk gaps will be filled in from 1511 Gulf of Mexico Drive to The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort; from the Colony to just past the Aquarius; from Villa di Lancia to just past The Islander Club; from Vizcaya to Veranda; and from New Pass Bridge to Quick Point Preserve.
Sidewalk modifications will also be constructed near the entrances of The Longboat Key Club and Resort, The Players Club, the Colony, Villa di Lancia, The Islander Club, Vizcaya, Sea Gate and at the Bay Isles Parkway intersection.
Construction activities are permitted between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. For more information, call Alfonso at 813-767-9532 or e-mail him at email@example.com.

Scottsdale Names Youth of the Year
Active in the organization's Keystone Club, What's Hip, SMART Girls and E-Crew programs, she is also engaged in helping the greater community, accumulating hundreds of community service hours by assisting at the Cesar E. Chavez Leadership Institute's CARE program, where she cleans houses for over 175 families in need. She also volunteers for organizations including the Tumbleweed Center, Paiute Neighborhood Center and more.
Jimenez will use the scholarship money granted to her through the Youth of the Year program toward earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering starting this fall from ASU's Barrett Honors College.
She will next move on to the statewide Youth of the Year
competition later in the year.
In addition to this honor, Jimenez was also recently nominated as the Teen Ambassador for the State Keystone Conference, where she was named as Arizona's "Keystoner of the Year."
Below is an excerpt from Jimenez's Youth of the Year speech:
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
I often dream of the life of a "typical teen."
This is a vision that I have had since the age of 10, when my childhood ended. Managing a produce business at the local swap meet is what my family life revolves around, where I am expected to wake up at 4 a.m. and load the produce onto the trailer so we can set up and be ready for the first customer by 7 a.m.
Yet, every time I wake up, I cannot help but question, "Why can't I be like everyone else?"
Worrying about financial obstacles at such a young age creates stress for both my parents and me.
My escape is the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale's Hartley & Ruth Barker Branch – the one place where I can be a teen just like everyone else. That white and blue building shaped me to become the young woman I am today.

'Everything is Going Good' for 'Brooklyn's Own' Joe Causi on WCBS-FM
With the Nets debut in Brooklyn, this was a banner year in the professional life of Joe Causi. He was named WCBS-FM nighttime jock after Ron Parker moved to middays, when health factors caused veteran Bob Shannon to retire.
Causi has been with the station since its return from the "jockless" Jack format in 2007. Most notably, he was the host of a reworked Saturday Night five-hour block, updated with 70s music.
Of course, the personality who uses the on-air moniker "Brooklyn's Own" had to be on the short list of our interview subjects.
Causi is a Bensonhurst native, whose boyhood house still stands. The 97-year old edifice remains in the family, now home to Causi's brother.
"My whole life was four blocks," Causi remembers. "You didn't have to go out of a four-block radius."
