According to Harris, in a previous board meeting, members of the board agreed to aid in the removal of debris during the citywide cleanup but the county has not made any efforts to remove the debris.
"We have done extensive work in Shelby and now we are at the point where it is time to have the rubbish picked up. We have fallen behind in our project because we need some of this rubbish removed before we can go any further," said Harris.
"In this project, we have torn down some structures. Some of the structures that contain burned parts have been separated and are waiting to be picked up," he added.
After much debate about the issue, Supervisor Donny Whitten offered a solution to the ongoing matter.
"In order to be in compliance we must receive a copy of the minutes from the board of alderman meeting on a continuing basis and debris must remain in a central location in order for us to authorize removal," said Whitten.
Harris was pleased with the solution and agreed to these terms and assured members of the board that the city's minutes will be submitted after each meeting.
"Any problem that comes before the board is going to be addressed," said Billings.
County Engineer Bob Eley presented his report and gave an update some ongoing projects.
At the request of Billings, Eley announced that he has added South Street in Mound Bayou to the SAFETEA–LU project.
He also announced that all of the ongoing sewer projects are set to conclude by March 22.
Eley said that the county recently hired a bridged inspection crew — he gave an update on a recent survey that was done on bridges throughout the county.
"There are a couple of bridges that are in pretty critical condition — especially a few near Merigold," said Eley.
According to Eley, bridge inspectors were hired to do an assessment of the bridges throughout the county.
The inspectors suggested lowering the weight limit of a few bridges near Merigold to 6,000 pounds.
According to Eley if the county fails to adhere to lowering the weight limit, the bridges would become inoperable within a year.
"Our best shot at keeping the bridges open is to patch them up and take heed to the suggestions outlined by the bridge crew," he continued.
He also announced that the parking lot plans for the Amzie Moore house are currently underway and should be finalized by Wednesday.
After Eley made his presentation, Billings requested the attention of board to address an issue about flooding.
"On several occasions I have been contacted by constituents about their homes being flooded on Highway 32," said Billings.
"This is a state highway and something should be done about it. This is an outstanding situation and I am in a position where I really need some assistance. We all took an oath to support the citizens in Bolivar County in any way form o fashion. We are losing property and land because of this flooding issue," continued Billings.
Billings said that he would like for Eley to contact the state engineer to seek methods of remedy for the flooding issue.
Eley agreed but Supervisor James McBride also suggested contacting the landowner and trying to encourage them to build a levee, which would prevent water from flowing from the highway into homes.
Billings said that he has presented this matter to the board on many occasions and it is time for someone to take charge and adhere to the needs of the citizens.
After much debate over bridges, sewer projects and flooding issues members of the board went into executive session with Attorney Linda Coleman and Ellis Turnage – each had different executive session items.
Coleman reserved an executive session to discuss possible litigation but Turnage discussed voting districts – no action was taken for either item.

A temple tour of Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown
The early story of Kuala Lumpur is essentially the history of the area now known as Chinatown. It was here that a rough-and-ready tin mining settlement gradually became a proper town. Even today, Chinatown retains probably the strongest sense of living history of any district in KL. A great way to get an idea of … read the full post

none - I'm just a shop-aholic & have an incredibly large unused stash!
1 - Once I make a layout, I'm done with the kit
1 or 2 - I can usually find enough in the kit to make more than 1
3 or More - I want my $$'s worth!
I have an enormous stash that I haven't used yet because I am just getting started digi scrapping. I got a little excited about all the fun stuff out there and went just a little crazy buying a ton of kits. But I'm sure I'll use them all eventually....
I find that I mix and match elements from different kits to make several different layouts. So, in a way I use them more than once or twice, but I'd say I use the kit all together on only one or two layouts.
With most, I am content with doing 1 layout, but there are some kits that I find myself returning to over and over, whether for papers, elements, or alphas. Now that I'm "mostly" organized with ACDSee, I find that I don't usually use "only" one kit in a LO, whereas before I was kida forced to stay within one (due to not knowing where to find anything! ).
But I probably haven't used about 90% of what I have.
Even digitally, I'm a packrat.
~~Julie P.~~
I usually make one page, but find different elements that I use over and over again.
I always look for kits I can use over & over again and mix & match with the others I have.
I like to alter the items givem a twist to give a little pop to my pics
I usually get 1 - 2 full pages but I'm also a lover of taking a bit from this kit and a bit from that kit and just mixing and matching. So I probably end up with more that just 1-2 in the end.
I totally agree with the others when they say that with 1 page I have got my moneys worth. To see the look on my DHs face or hear my mum on the phone when she receives her stash of pages I make for her is well worth every penny.
I agree with what GardenGirl05 said. I have gone a little crazy downloading too, lol.
What==== we are actually supposed to USE all the digital stuff we collect??? Oh my---II best get started===I have enoogh stuff to do scrapbooks for the entire county and never use a kit twice. Just like with my paper scrapping==I am a true 'collector' at heart!
I do 1-2 per kit, but as said earlier some kits can be used over and over again. :)
I'm with you on this, Kim I read a quote somewhere from a seamstress - people were giving her a hard time about all the fabric she was collecting and never using. Her reply was "I just like to look at it. I don't see what the problem is - stamp collectors collect stamps all the time and never send them!"
Count me in as a collector! Although, I've found myself here lately using more and more of my stash and actually thinking before I buy something. I also have several kits that I use over and over again & I have several sets of solid papers that I really go to again and again.
So, here's my answer: All of the above!
Last edited by ABitDaffy; 06-05-2008 at 02:18 PM. Reason: changed sewer to seamstress, 'cause in the context I wasn't sure that it wouldn't be read sewer as in the sewer drain :)

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — With the official start of summer just days away, Vayama (www.vayama.com), a leading online travel agency uniquely focused on international travel shares the latest information on where travelers are jetting to this season and gives some tips for those who might be still planning their warm-weather getaways.
Summer travel season typically begins with Memorial Day weekend in May, and carries through Labor Day in early September. With customers from origins across the world, Vayama has comprehensive insight into this year's international booking trends. A side-by-side comparison of the top 10 destinations booked for summer 2012 and summer 2013, based on data including tickets sold and routes traveled, shows which locales are Vayama customer favorites.
2012 | 2013 |
While the summer months are peak season for tourism around the globe, it doesn't mean you're stuck with inflated prices or having to battle crowds everyday. Here are some guidelines from the travel experts at Vayama to help get the most out of your summer vacation:
There's still time to book
For those who don't start to think about summer travel until it's actually summertime, that's ok too. Stay informed for such deals by subscribing to travel alerts and newsletters or checking out real-time deals from your closest airport on Vayama's website.
Be flexible
If you don't have a timeframe for travel in mind, sometimes last-minute tickets can be a cheaper alternative to planning far in advance. Being flexible about flight dates and airports can also help with itinerary options, as well as reduced prices.
Beating the crowds
With many families on summer break and people utilizing their vacation time, summer crowds can be hard to avoid. The key to enjoying the popular attractions and getting to see the sights without never-ending lines is timing. Arriving early or visiting later in the day will be the least crowded times, and usually a bit cooler temperature, which can be more comfortable. Explore streets and towns around the major tourist attractions to still capture the essence of a destination's culture, history and cuisine, but without the grueling foot traffic. Or, if you have the time, take a train or airbus to explore nearby cities and countries. Savvy travelers will find Vayama's multi-city feature a great way to book multiple legs of a trip beforehand.
"Travel in general always peaks in summer months," explains Joan Ioannou, Brand Marketing Director for Vayama.com. "And while we expect the majority of those trips to be to planned in advance, we encourage those who haven't booked, and are perhaps still in the researching stage, to explore the featured destinations on our website for inspiration and to view the best real-time deals based on their location."

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
TechFest in September is Aberdeen and the North-East Scotland's annual festival of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and is widely acknowledged as a major event in the annual calendar of the region. The festival aims to promote STEM subjects to young people and to the wider community by providing an accessible, diverse and entertaining programme. TechFest in September is highly regarded as a key event within education, industry and the wider community.
Manchester Science Festival is an annual nine-day, multi-venue festival that engages and inspires people with science, building their confidence in exploring and questioning science in the most creative ways possible.
Wednesday nights in Aberdeen just got interesting: Satrosphere Science Centre is being taken over by students!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

President Obama and Prime Minister Noda exchanged pleasantries at the top
of their bilateral meeting.
Speaking of Noda, Obama said he was "extremely impressed already by the
boldness of his vision." He confirmed the importance of the U.S.-Japanese
alliance and said he was confident they can build on the relationship. And
said the American people stand beside Japan as it rebuilds from the
earthquake and tsunami.
Noda spoke second and said that he had this morning visited the memorial
cemetery of the Pacific and laid a wreath. He spoke of the beauty of
"I'm very much encouraged by the fact that America is increasing its
presence in the Asia-Pacific region. And I do believe that Japan and the
United States must work closely together to establish economic rules," he
said through a translator. (This quote went on a bit more, about where
they should work closely together, but couldn't make it out on my tape.

Looks like Weslye Saunders had some premature Twitteration of his own regarding the Wallace contract/non-contract:
Steelers tight end Weslye Saunders says Mike Wallace has new deal
Posted by Mike Florio on July 24, 2012, 5:57 PM EDT
Coach Mike Tomlin may not be the only Steelers employee to get a new contract on Tuesday.
He also may not be the only Steelers employee named "Mike" to get a new contract on Tuesday.
Tight end Weslye Saunders has congratulated receiver Mike Wallace on a new contract via a Twitter message. Saunders later tried to put the toothpaste back in the Twitter tube.
Wallace, a restricted free agent, has received a one-year tender worth $2.7 million. The Steelers opted not to reduce the tender dramatically on June 15, even though they could have.So apparently I may have jumped the gun about Mike and the new deal. Just pretend I ain't say nothin lol #CarryOn
Weslye Saunders (@Wes_Saunders8 July 24, 2012
The Steelers report for training camp on Tuesday. It's still unknown whether Wallace will be there.
Perhaps the bigger question for now is whether Saunders will be.
UPDATE 6:00 p.m. ET: Saunders' tweet may have come from inside information, or it may have come from an apparently erroneous report that Wallace has a new deal. Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that Wallace does not yet have a new contract.
Good sign seeing Saunders happy. He must be pretty confident that he fits in the long term plans.
C'Mon Wally, sign the contract already.
Like Wallace said, don't believe everything the media -- or his teammates -- are saying. Once he is in camp and the team has released an official statement, then I'll be happy.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
8 million/yr for MW is a good deal for Steelers. It was a win-win situation. Hopefully MW is signed to a long term deal by Steelers pretty soon.
Steelers Draft
Rd 1: Mike Evans - WR
Rd 2: Kyle Van Noy - ILB/OLB
Rd 3c: Philip Gaines - CB
Rd 4: Taylor Hart - DE
Rd 5: Justin Ellis - DT
Rd 5c:Xavier Grimble -TE
What about the 20 million guaranteed don't you like?
for the sake of easy numbers, if that is a 20 million signing bonus over 5 years it is only 4 million a year. take that down to 10 million and throw in a couple roster or workout bonuses in say years 2 and 3, then in years 4 and 5 that leaves 2 million per year in prorated signing bonus. If for whatever reason Mike Wallace has lost it by age 29, you can cut him and only owe that 4 million over 2 years. I don't see why 20 million guaranteed is an issue.

2011 NHL Awards Recap
The 2011 NHL Awards were not without controversy. Nicklas Lidstrom stole the Norris from Shea Weber and Zdeno Chara despite his -2 differential on the year. Ryan Kesler finally won the Selke, Corey Perry deservedly took home the MVP Hart Trophy, and Tim Thomas got the Vezina. Without further ado, here are the voting results for the finalists of the major awards:
NORRIS: Lidstrom (736), Weber (727), Chara (688)
SELKE: Kesler (1.179), Toews (476), Datsuyk (348)
ADAMS: Bylsma (196), Vigneault (169), Trotz (80)
CALDER: Skinner (1,055), Couture (908), Grabner (497)
GM OF THE YEAR: Gillis (96), Yzerman (61), Poile (55)
LADY BYNG: St. Louis (994), Lidstrom (464), Eriksson (347)
VEZINA: Thomas (104), Rinne (84), Luongo (33)
HART: Perry (1,043), Sedin (960), St. Louis (332)
Roberto Luongo's season was rewarded as part of some goalie tandem award, and I'm sure drinking from it will be just as sweet as the Stanley Cup he almost won.
Zdeno Chara won the Mark Messier leadership award, but finished third for the Norris. I don't think anyone feels too badly for him after the way the Bruins' season finished.
Dustin Brown best embodied the NHL's core principals and won the NHL Foundation Award.
I got six predictions right, which is better than I did for my Oscars picks. Dan Bylsma did amazing things with a depleted Penguins roster, and I'm glad to see him rewarded. I thought Yzerman filled the holes in the Tampa Bay Lightning incredibly well, and was robbed for GM of the year.
Speaking of rookies, Jeff Skinner won the Calder and he deserved it after an exciting season for the Hurricanes.
Tim Thomas got the Vezina after setting the record for best saves percentage in a season, in what was probably the least surprising award of the night.
Congratulations to all the players that were awarded. Now, on to the draft!
