First time purchaser and I love this product. Reacts well with my skin type and never looks like too much. Very pleased with this set. Love the mineral cleanser!!
Love using the Mineral Wash on my hair.
By yoga girl
from Toronto
The product is overall quite good, but the scent is a bit strong. It worked well on my skin and brushes, but when I used it as a shampoo, it did amazing things to my fine hair! My hair was clean, but not over clean, thick, and full. Every time I use it on my hair, I would receive compliments! I would love to be able to purchase this product as a stand alone product.
Absolutely love the mineral wash!!

For sensitive skin this is an amazing make up. I love the body wash the cream shadow was dry. But i do love all the products thnx tsc and our minerals
I love this product, I have sensitive skin and it is gentle and it doesnt dry up my skin or give me pimples or a rash. The only issue was the cream shadow was dried up when I got it but so was a waste of money n time sending it back for something like that. Hopefully it will never happen again would hate to have to buy in drug store individually.
1st time user of Pur Minerals
By Sylwil

I had wanted to try this line for ages and one day I saw the kit offerred as a showstopper so I decided to order it. The Shopping Channel was great and I received my order in next to no time and of course I had to try everything right away. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that the eye shadow appeared to be either old or dried out. I liked it the first time I put it on but the second time it was already hard to get any shadow out. And I have to agree that the eyebrow brush was a little too hard for the job it's intended to do. I like the face wash however it does have a bit of a strong fragrance. I'm glad I read the other reviews seeing it's my first time using this line and now I know it's not just me experiencing problems with those couple of items. I loved the rest of the other items especially the lip gloss.
Nice Package
By P. E.
from Bowmanville
I purchased this mainly to try the new & improved 4-in-1 power. I liked the old one and am enjoying the new one as well. I like all of the products in this pkg. I am not thrilled with the mineral wash. The second & third ingredients are sulphates, so this will never go onto my face or hair. I have the mineral wash by my sink for my brushes & hands, just to use it up. The smell is pleasant.
Pretty good..
By BRENDA
from DARTMOUTH
The 4 in 1 is awesome - I use it everyday! I have been using our minerals ever since they came to TSC, and love it! The mineral wash in this show stopper is my favorite (I have even used it for shampoo once when I ran out) and love the lip glosses and pencils. I do not like the brow brush or product, the brush is very hard, and not happy with the brow product. Also, do not like their mascars, but other than that, their products are excellent! I haven't used the eye shadow yet to say what that is like. I have had better show stoppers from pur minerals but I wanted the 4 in 1!!!!

Not that impressed
By Spitfire
from Hamilton
Have used this line a long time and like the Mineral Wash, Lip gloss,Lip liner.Have yet to try the 4-in-1.I've lost my receipt or would have returned this order mainly because of all the chemicals in the products.Due to health issues, I have had to reduce toxins and now I realize that some claims are not what they seem to be.Pur Minerals are OK if you don't have health issues but check the labels if you do.

What's for dinner tonight? If your answer is "reservations" because the very thought of turning on your oven has you rummaging through your junk drawer for takeout menus, maybe I can help.
My name is Kate Battistelli and I'm a wife, mother and a lover of food, family, entertaining and home preserving. My goal is to help you provide your family with healthy, delicious, made-from-scratch meals every day of the week.
Oh, and I'm in love with home canning. I have a pantry shelf full of jams, preserves and pickles. I love the idea of putting food by and having wonderful homemade goodies for gifts. It's easier to do than you think!
Cooking is my passion and I use real butter, organic meats, local produce and dairy. Lots of veggies, real garlic and fresh herbs. You'll find classics like Chicken Noodle Soup and homemade pies and originals like Golden and Delicious French Toast Muffins and Kitchen Princess Hot and Smoky Black Beans.
I'll show you basic techniques and step-by-step photos that will have you cooking and making things from scratch in no time!
I have a wonderful husband, Mike, who works hard and makes my world a very comfortable place to be. He is my chief food-tester and he gives the thumbs up or down on every recipe. I could say he is the Kitchen Prince but he makes me laugh so much I have to call him the Court Jester!
I am blessed to have a lovely daughter, Francesca Battistelli. She is married to Matthew Goodwin and he is proving to be a champion husband and son-in-law. She is a recording artist in the Contemporary Christian genre and he musically directs her band, plays drums for her, produces music and is a graphic artist. They have given us a beautiful grandson named Matthew Elijah who is the light of our lives!
I'm a pursuer of God in a big way. I've learned that nothing can satisfy my soul's longing more than Him. I know that no matter what, God is Good. Always. Circumstances aren't always good but He is. And, He never changes!
I've written a book called Growing Great Kids, published by Charisma House and it's designed to inspire parents to partner with God to mine the greatness in their children by raising them to reach their highest potential. Our journey with Francesca and taking her from a little girl who loved to dance and sing to becoming a Grammy nominated and Dove award winning artist with 5 top ten hits in Christian music is my inspiration! Mike and I learned so much through the years and I want to share our journey with parents who believe that there is greatness and destiny residing in their child.
I love music and theatre and the performing arts. Back in the day I was an actress in New York City and traveled for 2 1/2 years with Yul Brynner in The King and I as Anna. That was a long time ago but it's where I met my husband and where we began our life journey together. I've had a whole other life since those days and you know what? I wouldn't change a thing!

When we do a search with "search subfolders" checked, is there a way to view the Vault file path for a specific file without going to the folder? Is there any option for this in custom view or properties?
I really need to know what folder the searched files are in.
You can customise the view to show the "Path" property
If my post answers your question, please click the "Accept as Solution" button. This helps everyone find answers more quickly!
I cannot find "Path" under the customize view options.
I'm using Vault Collaboration 2011.
The "Path" field is a new feature in Vault 2012. You would need to upgrade to take advantage of that.
Can I create a "Path" property? User Defined Property?
You guys should be wearing a mask, this is one of the most basic features I can think of - not putting it in and then telling people to upgrade really has a significant impact on your reputation - disgusted.
In earlier versions of vault, a file could have many paths because it could be "shared" to multiple folders. All shares were considered equal so there was no "primary" path. Once we finished phasing out shares (we replaced them with links), we were able to show a property in the grid for the path.
Hi to all
And how i can use path property ? i would like to use it in category assigment but i don't see it.

foureyes3 Posts: 165I read in the newspaper today that the Canton plant is going to do some continuous training with the employees to eliminate the quality issues. The plant does 5 vehicles. They said the fault is plainly on management for keeping the employees skills up to par. This came straight from management in the Nissan plant. I am not sure about Smyrna. That's a lot of vehicles for new employees at a new plant to be producing with that kind of experience. No wonder they are having these quality issues. They are putting too much on these employees at one time. They need make sure they have one vehicle at a time done correctly instead of doing 5 different ones at one time.

Miller helped the Americans win silver and was the Most Valuable Player of the hockey tournament at the 2010 Olympics when Quick was their No. 3 goalie.
Quick won the Conn Smythe as MVP of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs when he helped the Kings become the only eighth-seeded team to win a championship.
"He's a great goalie and he's going to do great for us," Miller said. "We'll see where it goes from here and I'll be ready to play."
Quick hasn't been at his best this season.
His save percentage ranks 29th among NHL goalies and he was out for nearly two months with a groin injury before returning to play in early January.
Miller ranks 10th in save percentage despite playing for the Buffalo Sabres, who easily have the worst record in the league.

Bedding & Bath
Herringbone Bath Rug
Soft but not particularly thick
Nice pattern, soft fibers with a bit of sheen, but the bathmat is thinner than I had imagined from the photo. Underside does have a slightly rubberized texture to prevent slippage.

Very soft and rich looking
Love stepping on these rugs. They are soft and don't mash down. They look great in the bathroom. I bought 3 sets (different colors) for variety. Very happy with my purchase!

A Quick Way to Boost Your Mood
If you regularly find yourself feeling sluggish and bummed in the early-to-mid afternoon, it's probably because that's typically when your levels of serotonin (a brain chemical that helps regular mood) takes a nosedive, according to Eric Braverman, a New York City-based physician.
To beat the blues (while regulating your blood sugar, too!), have a small snack that's rich in mood-boosting B vitamins and complex carbohydrates—think a small bowl of yogurt mixed with whole-grain cereal.

I've heard of that, I believe it's called leuristic? I've seen pictures of leuristic birds but never in person. Unless you count a chickadee with a tail that is half white and half gray! Had an albino squirrel (actually not a true albino as his eyes were black). Only saw him for one summer though - I would guess their survival rate in the wild is pretty low as he sure stuck out. Oh and I had an orange purple finch last fall. Not rare but uncommon. No one is sure why they are sometimes orange, mine looked like an immature male. Maybe next year he will return so I can verify that. Thanks for the link, I haven't been keeping up with any other forums, just too busy. |

you're welcome, jeanner! the closest thing i have came to seeing anything in the bird world was an extremely light colored, but not, albino red tailed hawk. that phase is even listed in my guide. |

It reminds me of a seagull. We had a squirrel with a white tail. :) Sandy |
I was going to say that, too, Sandy! It also reminds me of a very strange jay, especially looking at him from the back. I haven't seen anything all, or part, albino yet. I guess for the sake of the animal, I won't wish that I do. :D Brenda |

Dream diary
A dream diary (or dream journal) is a diary in which dream experiences are recorded. A dream diary might include a record of nightly dreams, personal reflections and waking dream experiences. It is often used in the study of dreams and psychology. Dream diaries are also used by some people as a way to help induce lucid dreams. They are also regarded as a useful catalyst for remembering dreams. The use of a dream diary was recommended by Ann Faraday in The Dream Game as an aid to memory and a way to preserve details, many of which are otherwise rapidly forgotten no matter how memorable the dream originally seemed.[1] The very act of recording a dream can have the effect of improving future dream recall.[citation needed] Keeping a dream diary conditions a person to view remembering dreams as important. Dreams can be recorded in a paper diary (as text, drawings, paintings, etc.) or via an audio recording device (as narrative, music or imitations of other auditory experiences from the dream). Many websites offer the ability to create a digital dream diary.
Lucid dreaming[edit]
Dream diaries are often kept by people striving to induce and remember lucid dreams. Writing down dreams increases what is called dream recall, or the ability to remember dreams. When writing down dreams, the dreamer often searches for dream signs, or recurring themes that have been detected between dreams. Dream recall can vary from day to day but keeping a diary tends to regulate waking dream memory.
It is important to record the dreams in the diary immediately after waking up, as individuals forget the details of their dreams very quickly. [2] Writing the next day's date in the dream diary asserts a conscious thought to remember dreams, which communicates intention to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind then responds by fulfilling that desire. This mental action causes the conscious and subconscious minds to work together toward the common goal of remembering the dream.[3]
False awakenings[edit]
The discipline of waking up to record a dream in a diary sometimes leads to a false awakening where the dreamer records the previous dream while still in a dream. Some dream diarists report writing down the same dream one or two times in a dream before actually waking up, and recording it in a physical dream diary.[citation needed]
Specific uses[edit]
Followers of Eckankar frequently keep dream diaries, since they view dreams as important teaching tools and as a gateway to "Soul Travel," or the shifting of one's consciousness to ever-higher states of being.[4]
The School of Metaphysics (SOM) in the United States teaches students a daily discipline of keeping dream diaries. They view dreams as messages from subconscious mind informing the dreamer of how the conscious waking state has been used to create. Recorded dreams over time and space are viewed as a spiritual autobiography.[5] In the Dreamer's Dictionary, SOM Gov. of International Education Barbara Condron explains that a sense of spirituality is necessary for a sound mind and a strong body as this is the quest for self-knowledge and wholeness. During sleep, the dreamer's subconscious mind experiences the freedom to go into the past, present, and probable future, unimpeded by the conscious mind. It is during this activity that dreams are captured and remembered.[6]

We have a hive of Carniolians doing very well, very full. Recently, they have started to pursue us in the backyard, buzzing around our heads and stinging us. Our yard is 25 feet behind the hive (hive facing away from the yard). This is their second season, and we never had this problem before. It's like they are seeking us out as intruders! What's going on, any ideas?
Thanks |

Is there something bothering the hive like a skunk or other critter that gets them upset so that they are always in an attack mode? Just a thought. |

College of Arts and Sciences
M.S. in Applied Mathematics - University of Virginia, VA
B.A. in Mathematics - Queens College, CUNY, NY
About Jerome Tuttle
Jerry Tuttle grew up in New York City and works in a building right next to the World Trade Center. He is as an actuary (insurance mathematician) for an insurance company, and he holds the insurance designations of Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society (FCAS) and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU). He has been teaching online mathematics courses for three years, most recently college algebra, statistics, and biostatistics. When one of his business trips took him to the west coast, he stopped off to visit GCU where he met many important GCU-ers including Thunder, the mascot. Jerry looks at life through a mathematical lens, and he would be happy to explain π and 1 Kings 7:23. Jerry is the volunteer webmaster for an organization that reads the daily newspaper aloud for low vision people, and he writes short stories for fun.
How has facilitating online courses at GCU helped you find purpose?
I have had a nice career as an actuary, but middle age is a good time to ask, "Is that all there is?" Online teaching has given me an opportunity to give something back to the very same mathematical community that has been so good to me.
What is one effective teaching strategy you use in your online classes?
I am aware that many students have a fear of math and do not want to be in a math class. I try to reduce the tension through humor. I wanted some cartoons to help illustrate some mathematical concepts, but good ones are hard to find and are copyrighted. I decided to hire an artist, and we created some original math cartoons. The students seem to enjoy them.
What is a GCU online student success story you can share?
Every math student asks the question, "Will I ever use this stuff again?" A particular criminal justice student in my class was especially negative on math until I found a nice application of some math we were doing to her field, and then this turned her attitude around.

We'll go ahead and put it out there right away that the SPORK is one of our favorite dive watches that can be had for under $1000. Seiko has been known for its long heritage of high quality, affordable dive watches such as the 007 and the Monster. What it has now gone and done is released an absolutely spectacular tool watch that combines the utility of a diver with the legibility of a military watch. This is a big and heavy tool dive watch with one of the most beautiful, organic designs available (comparable to the much more expensive Sinn 657). The smooth transition of shapes, the positive bezel action, the incredible lume and legibility of the dial all add to the experience of the watch. It wears big, looks big and has awesome wrist presence; an absolute must have in our opinion (if you can find one).

- Online Price: $300-400
- Used Price: $275-300

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sarge!
Facts about Sarge
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Sarge's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
He's been beaten up and on the streets for who knows how long, but this big, tough-looking black cat is sugar sweet. He likes sitting on laps so much he holds on when you try to put him down! I'm not sure how old Sarge is - maybe 2 or 3 years old - but someone must have loved him at one time because he is a cuddlebug.
He would be a great cat in a calm, quiet home with someone who wants a real companion. Should be okay with other cats as long as they are friendly to newcomers. Indoors only.
A photo is attached but it was impossible to get a good one - he kept walking towards the camera! So this is one of those "self portraits" I tried to take by holding the camera out in front of me while he was on my lap.
Please consider this sweet boy - he isn't a cute kitten or a sexy siamese, but he will give more love and companionship than you can ever know.
He has been neutered, combo-tested, given a dose of Frontline, and vaccinated against rabies and distemper/upper respiratory.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sarge, a Wakinsville Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Wakinsville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Wakinsville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wakinsville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wakinsville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wakinsville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Aurora, Sigma integrate on DOCSIS provisioning
Aurora Networks has successfully integrated its Node PON platform with Sigma Systems' Device Provisioning Manager for DOCSIS equipment provisioning and activation.
Aurora said the integration proved that cable operators could leverage the same OSS provisioning technology they employ for DOCSIS cable modem services for a network utilizing its Node PON solutions.
The two companies recently conducted a successful DOCSIS provisioning trial using Sigma's Device Provisioning Manager and Aurora's Node PON OLT and GEPON CPE devices, with the end result confirming that Aurora Networks' Node PON solution is compatible with legacy DOCSIS provisioning technology.
Aurora said the testing also verified the capabilities of its Auros software platform, which enables the company's PON solutions to integrate with a cable operator's OSS, as well as its service provisioning and billing infrastructure. Auros allows the same infrastructure that supports an operator's DOCSIS plant to support a GEPON network, enabling a Node PON OLT module to be provisioned, configured and monitored, much like a typical CMTS.
"A cable operator doesn't need to reinvent the wheel every time when it comes to provisioning OSS. With Auros, the same infrastructure that supports the DOCSIS plant can also support a new GEPON network," said John Dahlquist, vice president of marketing at Aurora. "The successful test of our Node PON system with Sigma Systems' DOCSIS provisioning solution shows that this type of solution is real and is available today to cable operators."
Aurora has also introduced GEPON and RFPON customer premises equipment devices for the cable market, adding to a CPE line that already includes products that work with RFoG deployments.
The RFPON CPE (CP8016U-55-42) and GEPON CPE (CP8000N-66-45) can be mounted indoors or outdoors, in both residential and commercial deployments. Both products are IEEE 802.3ah (EPON)-compatible.
The RFPON CPE provides all of the functionality of Aurora's RFoG CPE, but with 1610 nm upstream wavelength for PON compatibility.
The GEPON CPE, meanwhile, with 1310 nm upstream wavelength, is to be the first in a family of products (designated the CP8000N family) and is designed to coexist with the company's RFPON CPE.
Add in Aurora's Node PON OLT module, and the company claims to be a one-stop shop for GEPON services.
Aurora Networks' optical networking solutions are customized for operators as they extend fiber-supported service offerings into new residential, business and multi-dwelling unit markets. The products are compatible with RFoG and standard PON-based applications, allowing cable operators to roll out advanced FTTH networks without changing the integrity of their headend or back office technology.

334-A North Main Street - Manteca, California - 95336 |
AHS has been installing DSC Alarm systems since 1988. While we have a few other types of alarms out there, more than 99.9% are DSC. So, for the most part, the following troubleshooting guide applies to all AHS alarms. I just moved into a new home with an AHS security system installed. What do I do? My alarm keeps beeping and it's really annoying. My alarm keeps beeping, but the trouble or system light on my keypad is not lit. Didn't AHS install the smoke detectors in our house? How do I change the alarm's battery? Is the battery important? I can't set my alarm. There is no green light. I set off my alarm by accident. What do I do? My system keeps having false alarms. What should I do? The police were dispatched to my home for a false alarm, and now they sent me a bill. It might be important to know what model number DSC alarm you have. This would be located on the main panel, which is a metal 12" by12" box or smaller, usually secured with a cam lock and key and probably located in a closet. If you do not know what model number your alarm is, you can look at your keypad and refer to this table. You can also click on the link beneath the keypad to download a manual for your system. We have created a one-page "cheat sheet" for our two most popular systems. System Manuals with system light -- General Troubleshooting I just moved into a new home with an AHS security system installed. What do I do? First of all, congratulations! We're happy to help you get your system set up for your needs. If you do not know a user code to the security system, do not attempt to arm or use the system. AHS provides complimentary demonstrations of our security systems…that's right, no charge, no strings. If something on the system needs to be repaired, there will be a small service charge for the work, or if a battery needs replacing, you can purchase one from us. If you are interested in AHS monitoring services, we will waive this service charge. Otherwise, give us a call and set up an appointment for an AHS technician to show you how to properly use the alarm. My alarm keeps beeping and it's really annoying. Yes, we know. If you press the # key on the keypad, the beeping should stop. Then you'll notice the "trouble" light or "system" light is on. Press * 2. Depending on the keypad, either a number will be displayed on the screen or one of the zone lights will light up. The most common reason is the back-up battery needs to be replaced. If a number 1 appears, it is probably time to change the battery. If a 2 appears, it means the main power to the alarm is off. If there is a power outage, simply wait for the power to come back on. There is no interruption in your service and your battery will charge back up after the power comes back on. If a 3 appears, check your telephones. This means the telephone signal to the alarm has been disrupted and the alarm cannot use the phone to call out. Once the phone signal has been restored the trouble light will clear. If a 4 appears, it means communication failure. This can happen along with number 3. If your phones aren't working and your alarm is set off, the system will fail to communicate. Another reason this may happen is a change in your phone or Internet service. For instance, if you use DSL, we need to install a DSL filter on the alarm system. Changing to Internet based or TV cable based phone systems can also cause your alarm to fail to communicate. Call us for assistance if you've had changes to your phone service. If a 5, 6, or 7 appear, you should probably call us for service. This is pretty rare except if you have a system that includes wireless products. If you have wireless window and door sensors, wireless motion detectors, or other wireless devices the batteries need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. The trouble light is calling your attention to the need to change the batteries. Be careful changing these batteries, as it is possible to damage the sensors. Please call us if you need assistance. If an 8 appears, you need to reset the system clock. This can occur if you have the power off the alarm for more than a few hours and the battery failed. Click here to learn how to reset your clock. My alarm keeps beeping, but the trouble or system light on my keypad is not lit. Press the # key on your keypad…Hear that sound? That is the only beeping sound your alarm can make. If it is a different sound you are hearing, it is not the alarm, but something else in your house. The smoke detectors typically installed in houses have a high-pitched beep that seems to come from whatever room you're not standing in. Try changing the batteries in the smoke detectors to get rid of the beeping. Didn't AHS install the smoke detectors in our house? Probably not. Although, if you are interested in adding fire protection to your security system, we can for an additional charge. If the smoke detector is beeping and has 9 volt batteries to replace, we did not install it and it is not part of your security system. How do I change the alarm's battery? Is the battery important? The alarm's back-up battery is used when your main power is interrupted (power outages, etc.) Your alarm will continue to operate perfectly fine when the power is out, so long as your back-up battery is in good condition. While the battery is rechargeable, it does have a life-span of approximately 3 to 5 years. The battery is located in your alarm panel, the 12" by 12" metal cabinet located usually in a closet. Most of our AHS alarm panels are kept closed with a lock and key. Please contact us if you do not have your key. To remove the battery, simply pull out the red and black wires from the battery terminals. You may have to wiggle these a bit, but there should be no reason for any tools, and you cannot be shocked by doing this. Bring the battery to our shop if you would like us to dispose of it properly. You may also bring the battery to the San Joaquin County Hazardous Waste Disposal Facility in Stockton. Do NOT discard the battery in the trash unless you hate baby seals and trees. Once you replace your old battery with a new battery (any 12V alarm battery should be fine), your trouble light will should turn off. This may take 5 to 15 minutes. I can't set my alarm. There is no green light. Make sure all your doors and windows that are on the alarm are closed. If you don't know what "zone" is open, press the # key or use the < > keys (depending on the type of keypad you have) to scroll through the open zones. The open zone(s) will be displayed on the screen. If your doors and windows are closed and you still show the zone open, please call us for service. In the meantime, you can Bypass that zone to get a green light and set the alarm. If you know what zone number you wish to bypass, or "shunt", you can do the following: Press * and then 1. Enter the two digit zone number (e.g. 02 for zone 2). Then press the # key. If you have a DSC PC1500 or PC1550 keypad, do not use a two-digit zone number. Press * 1, then the zone number, then #. You should now have a green "ready" light and you should be able to arm your alarm. (Note: The area you bypassed is unprotected by the alarm system, all other zones are.) Once you disarm the system, anything bypassed will once again be back on the alarm. So you will need to repeat this process every time you arm your alarm. The word "OPEN" appears on my keypad every once in a while, but there is nothing open. Is my alarm not working right? No. If the word "OPEN" appears but your green ready light is still on, it means someone is walking in front of a motion detector. The "OPEN" refers to an open zone. This is normal, and you can ignore it. I set off my alarm by accident. What do I do? Enter your code to turn off the alarm. If your alarm is monitored, the Central Station should call you within a minute or so to check if the alarm is false. You will need to give them your password to identify yourself as an authorized user of the alarm. If you don't hear from the Central Station within a minute or two, you should call the Central Station to make sure the police or sheriff is not dispatched to your residence or business. Call 1-800-367-1091. My system keeps having false alarms. What should I do? Your alarm needs service. Please call our office and make an appointment for repair. Statistically, false alarms as a fault of your system are rare. However, we take any false alarms seriously and, if your alarm is monitored, we will repair it at no charge to you. The police were dispatched to my home for a false alarm, and now they sent me a bill. Most cities and counties have alarm ordinances and permit requirements for alarm systems. Click here for your alarm permit requirements. The police and sheriff are the authorities that are dispatched for the monitored alarm systems, and false alarms are considered a nuisance to their departments. You, as the alarm operator and we as the alarm installers, have a responsibility to keep false alarms to a minimum. Your responsibility is to make sure you know how to properly operate your system and to report to the Central Station when you have a false alarm. Our responsibility is to make sure you know how to properly operate your system and to maintain your alarm. Together we can make sure your alarm is not a nuisance to the police or sheriff department. If you have a false alarm that is a fault of your system, please let us know. If we repair your alarm and it has another false alarm and you are billed for the incident, call our office. We will pay for the second false alarm and repair your alarm again....we stand behind our work. |

I haven't figured out what role I want to specialize in. I am currently lvl 18 and very close to 19. Are there any good runes to hedge roles?

Tier 1 runes are fine buys if you know what to get before hand, especially being as cheap as they are. Tier 3 are expensive, but worth the price because of the stats you get. Tier 2 are sort of IP sinks. If you plan on filling a page pre 20 use Tier 1's. Otherwise, continue savinng up for when you hit 20. Armor pen and Magic Pen Reds are always safe buys as they can be used on pretty much every champion. The same goes for Armor Yellows. I recommend looking at the per level runes as well. Some become stronger than the flat runes only after 9 LEVELS! This will put you more towards mid game resistances. However many of them (AP per level blues for example) become stronger by level 7. Flat AD is better early as it will vastly improve poke and last hitting. Scaling AP is better because it allows you to scale with each level (AP carries gain more and more damage with every rank of a spell, so the scaling runes will improve this further). Quints, as a general rule of thumb should be Flat. They have the highest values, so they are best used to pad early game stats, or something that will be effective well into late game (Flat HP, Movespeed, Gold per 5, AD, AP, etc). EDIT: what I've said is by no means Gospel, just try to consider what will be needed. Will you pad your early game, in hopes of getting ahead early. Or try to play towards a slightly stronger late game. Basic build for an AD Armor Pen Reds Flat Armor Yellows Flat/scaling MR Blues Flat HP/AD Quints Basic build for an AP mid Magic Pen Reds Scaling Mana Regen Yellows Scaling AP Blues Flat AP Quints

armor seals are my reccomendation. They are THE most versatile runes in the game. They let you jungle easily . They will help you vs. every champion in the game who uses autoattacks. They also help migitate minoin damage early on
The runes that I've found most versitile have been: Flat Armor - Yellow Flat Magic Resist - Blue Movement Speed - Quints For Reds, Junglers will love Attack Speed, ADs will love Armor Pen, and APs will love Magic Pen. ~I would stay away from HP quints. I bought them when I was new, and have never used them since learning more about the game.
I just wanted to point out that I did mean at lvl 20, I'm not buying runes before then. I have about 13k IP saved up
Have AD Quints and Reds gone out of style in the latest meta?

Federal Direct Loan
A Federal Direct Loan offers freshman students up to $5,500 and sophomores up to $6,500 per year. Students pursuing a one-year certificate will remain at freshman level for borrowing purposes. This is a loan and must be repaid. Interest rates vary annually. If you already have a Direct Loan, borrowing a new loan will not affect the rate or terms of your previous loan(s). You may qualify for a subsidized and/or an unsubsidized Direct Loan up to the amounts listed above.
Subsidized Direct Loans
These loans are based on financial need, therefore, some students may not qualify. With a subsidized Direct Loan, no interest accumulates and no repayment is required as long as the student is enrolled in college at least half time.
For subsidized loans first dispersed on or after July 1, 2012, the interest rate will be a fixed 3.40%.
Unsubsidized Direct Loans
Students who do not qualify for a subsidized Direct Loan may borrow up to the maximum amounts designated on the award notification through an unsubsidized Direct Loan. Loan payments can be deferred as long as the student is enrolled at least half-time. Interest will accrue and can be paid by the borrower while in school and during the grace and repayment period. Independent students have the option of borrowing an additional $4,000 in unsubsidized Direct Loan Funds.
For unsubsidized loans first dispersed on or after July 1, 2012, the interest rate will be a fixed 6.80%.
To determine your eligibility for these programs, you must apply for federal aid, as outlined on the Application Process page. Funds are issued only after tuition and fees have been paid.
Credit Records
Student loans can be an excellent way to finance an education and establish a good credit rating at the same time. When it is time for repayment, always communicate with your lender when changing your name, address or phone number or if you have difficulty making payments.
Enrollment required: A minimum of 6 credit hours
Application: Free Application for Federal Student Aid and online Master Promissory Note
Students borrowing Federal Direct Loan funds are required to participate in the following counseling sessions:
- Apply for Your Loan: Both the Loan Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note can be completed from this link
- Online Stafford Loan exit interview: Must be completed prior to graduation or dropping below half time.

Today fucking sucked. No one would fucking listen and everyone was breaking the rules. I told so many fucking people not to hang onto the hoop, because the base could fall in and crush them. In fact, they were hanging on it to purposefully piss me off. I was about ready to fucking throw those jackasses out.
Last night was just as bad too. I had this group of guys that just apparently did not understand that they had to dive like a normal person and that they couldn't jump over people. In fact, they defied me to piss me off. I was about ready to fucking deck them or throw them out! Then they would always fucking talk back. Those bastards are so lucky I was trying to be tolerant then.
Then those three bastards, they just broke all the fucking rules. They were going down the slides head first, they were doing dives near the shallow end, they were splashing other patrons in the hot tubs, they were screaming like fucking morons and distracting us, they were talking back and they were being way too rough. We finally kicked the assholes out.
Tomorrow better fucking be better. I have no tolerance anymore.
last summer i worked at a public outdoor pool. we had the same thing, a group of 3 teenage guys who were being total idiots and blatantly breaking the rules, putting themselves and others in danger despite our several friendly warnings. eventually we had to kick them out too.
because it was an outdoor pool, people really thought they could do whatever they wanted. people made messes with food, drinks, and broken glass bottles on the deck... which leads to more bugs and cuts than there already are at an outdoor pool. people actually started smoking and drinking alcohol on deck... we had to tell them that they would have to leave the fenced-in area to continue. they were like "what? why?". people are stupid... if there's one thing that you're going to learn in this life, it's that a lot of people are stupid.
We don't allow glass at all near any of the pools, nor do we allow alcohol into any of the complexes. We sell alcohol at one, but that's one out of six.
I think people understand smoking, because of the fact it's a family resort and we have kids running around. Plus my trachea is a piss of shit and will even start to constrict around any smoke. Even thinking about it made it start to constrict. it doesn't close, it''s just a little trouble.
People are stupid, they think rebellion is cool even if what they are doing is just plain lame.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
I wonder if you'd get in trouble if you brought fake guns, pried the orange caps off, and used them to intimidate the rule-breakers...
"But don't be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it."
-Stephen Colbert
I think the no-gun policy at Smuggs, which seems to be oh so prevalent everywhere I go, might apply to fake guns. Could get me fired.

I receive numerous phone calls and e-mails from shops and suppliers asking advice on how to properly evaluate local Internet service providers (ISP) for web projects. Like many of you, I too have flipped through phone books looking for a potential host for web sites. A few years back, there might have been 2 or 3 listed, but now, depending on your location, there can be as many as 30 or more. With over 6,000 ISPs in the U.S. and over 10,000 worldwide, how do you choose the right one? Easy, let them make the decision for you.
The following is a step-by-step checklist on how to select an ISP. If followed, many headaches may be avoided.
Step 1. Evaluate your initial options. You really want to have a list of about 5 ISPs to evaluate. You can develop this list from local advertisers, phone books and other sources. Call each one to make sure a live body answers and ask them to whom you can send a request for a quote for your project. If you do not feel good about the initial call, scratch the ISP off your list.
Step 2. Develop a quote sheet based on your project needs. This will be the request for quote that you will send to each of the ISPs you have initially selected. Here is a list of important questions/points to ask:
Step 3. After completing your letter, send it off to each of the ISPs on your list with a specific date you wish to receive your project quotation. Be sure to include all of your contact information to insure that you are easily available to answer any questions. In addition, be clear in your letter that you are requesting a written quote for your evaluation. This step alone can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Step 4. Let the ISPs do the work for you. At this point, they will be selling themselves to you instead of you having to choose a needle in a haystack. These simple steps should lead to some clear decisions on which ISP to choose as your project partner.

Being a Mom must be a wonderful thing. Not being one myself, I often wonder what it was like for my mom to take the risk of bearing and raising children (especially me and my brothers). I admire her for taking on the challenge and in many ways, making me who I am today …
I also admire a few daughters this week who bravely took their mothers (and fathers too) on trips to celebrate their special relationships. Shannon, from Louisville KY, took time from her busy schedule as an international pilot with UPS to spend a few days with her folks Danny & Judy, who still reside in her hometown of Lee's Summit, Missouri. A few days at Brigadoon, a few days at the Grand Hotel, and their celebration turned out to be not only a unique "island" vacation, but also one of special memories of its magic. Before they departed back to the stormy Midwest (and they have been fortunate enough to miss the bad weather down there), they stopped in to say goodbye and thanks again– and to tell me that they would have preferred to spend their last day here at Brigadoon. They tell me they will be back again soon!
We have also been graced this week with a visit from Frank & Leonarda, who are escorted on this journey by two of their three adult daughters: Celia & Lisa. This is their first trip to Michigan, and the first travels together since they were little girls growing up. Celia is an MBA Career Services Director, and Lisa is a tenured faculty member who teaches Chemistry. As they said - too many busy careers, too many years going by – they decided that this year will be the first of many more special Mother's Day adventures to celebrate and thank their parents for their gifts of life-long love and support.
Being a Mom must be a wonderful thing. Not being one myself, I will never know firsthand what it means, but I sure admire and respect what my Mom did for me. Be sure to thank your Mom – not just today, but EVERYDAY -- for the hours, days, years, and lifetime of love she has given to you. Mom, I said a special prayer to you today.
"The hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world."

Blessed be the Moms of the world. More next week … have a wonderful week!

US Predator strike in North Waziristan kills 11 Taliban, al Qaeda
Unmanned US strike aircraft have killed 11 terrorists in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.
The strike aircraft, likely the Predators or the newer, more deadly Reapers, targeted Taliban and al Qaeda operatives today in the village of Datta Khel near the Afghan border. Datta Khel is a known hub for al Qaeda and Taliban leaders.
Four missiles were fired at two Taliban compounds in the village, Geo News reported.
"Arab militants" threw a wide cordon around the attack site to prevent people from interfering with the recovery. "They barred all access within three kilometers of the facility," The Times of India reported, indicating that an important leader may have been present. The US has launched follow-up strikes during the recovery in the past, but no such attack was launched today.
No senior Taliban or al Qaeda fighters have been reported killed in the attack. US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal would not disclose the target of the attack.
Today's airstrike is just the third in Pakistan this month. The last attack, on March 10, killed 15 terrorists in the village of Mizar Madakhel near the Afghan border. Hafiz Gul Bahadar, the Taliban commander for North Waziristan, is rumored to have been killed in that attack but the report has not been confirmed.
Al Qaeda and allied Pakistani and Central Asian jihadi groups shelter in Bahadar's tribal areas, and they also run training camps and safe houses in the region. The Pakistani military has indicated it has no plans to take on Bahadar or the Haqqani Network, a deadly Taliban group that is closely allied with al Qaeda and is also based in North Waziristan.
So far this year, the US has carried out 20 strikes in Pakistan; all of them have taken place in North Waziristan. In 2009, the US carried out 53 strikes in Pakistan; and in 2008, the US carried out 36 strikes in the country. [For up-to-date charts on the US air campaign in Pakistan, see: Charting the data for US airstrikes in Pakistan, 2004 - 2010.]
Background on the recent strikes in Pakistan
US intelligence believes that al Qaeda has reconstituted its external operations network in Pakistan's lawless, Taliban-controlled tribal areas. This network is tasked with hitting targets in the West, India, and elsewhere. The US has struck at these external cells using unmanned Predator aircraft and other means in an effort to disrupt al Qaeda's external network and decapitate the leadership. The US also has targeted al Qaeda-linked Taliban fighters operating in Afghanistan, particularly the notorious Haqqani Network.
As of the summer of 2008, al Qaeda and the Taliban operated 157 known training camps in the tribal areas and the Northwest Frontier Province. Al Qaeda has been training terrorists holding Western passports to conduct attacks, US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal. Some of the camps are devoted to training the Taliban's military arm; some train suicide bombers for attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan; some focus on training the various Kashmiri terror groups; some train al Qaeda operatives for attacks in the West; some train the Lashkar al Zil, al Qaeda's Shadow Army; and one serves as a training ground for the Black Guard, the elite bodyguard unit for Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, and other senior al Qaeda leaders.
Unmanned US Predator and Reaper strike aircraft have been pounding Taliban and al Qaeda hideouts in North Waziristan over the past several months in an effort to kill senior terror leaders and disrupt the networks that threaten Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the West. Since Dec. 8, 2009, the air campaign in Pakistan has killed four senior al Qaeda leaders, a senior Taliban commander, two senior al Qaeda operatives, and a wanted Palestinian terrorist who was allied with al Qaeda. The status of several others - a top Pakistani Taliban leader, a member of al Qaeda's top council, and a wanted Philippine terrorist - is still unknown.
In December 2009, the US killed Abdullah Said al Libi, the top commander of the Shadow Army; Zuhaib al Zahib, a senior commander in the Shadow Army; and Saleh al Somali, the leader of al Qaeda's external network [see LWJ report, "Senior al Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed in US airstrikes in Pakistan, 2004 - 2010" for the full list of leaders and operatives thought to have been killed in US strikes].
Already this year, the US has killed Mansur al Shami, an al Qaeda ideologue and aide to al Qaeda's leader in Afghanistan Mustafa Abu Yazid; Haji Omar Khan, a senior Taliban leader in North Waziristan; Mohammed Haqqani, a military commander in the Haqqani Network; Sheikh Mansoor, an al Qaeda Shadow Army commander; and Qari Mohammad Zafar, a leader of the al Qaeda and Taliban-linked Fedayeen-i-Islam. Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim, the Abu Nidal Organization operative who participated in killing 22 hostages during the 1986 hijacking of Pan Am flight 73, is thought to have been killed in the Jan. 9 airstrike.
The status of Hakeemullah Mehsud, the leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, is still unknown; the Taliban released a videotape of him on March 1 but it did not confirm he was alive. Numerous Taliban leaders have stated that he is still alive and in command. On March 15, Khalid Khawaja, a lawyer for terrorist groups in Pakistan and a former ISI officer, claimed that his associates met with Hakeemullah on March 9.
On March 1, a rumor surfaced that Abdul Haq al Turkistani, the leader of the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party and a member of al Qaeda's Shura Majlis, was killed in a strike on Feb. 15. And Abdul Basit Usman, an Abu Sayyaf operative with a $1 million US bounty for information leading to his capture, is rumored to have been killed in a strike on Jan. 14, although a Philippine military spokesman said Usman is likely still alive and in the Philippines.

I like it when they hit the guys forming the cordon.
Posted by BraddS at March 16, 2010 10:48 AM ET:
I just realized, this whole hit-them-while-they-cordon thing must depend on how many assets they have available at the moment. We have a limited number of UAV's that are hunting for targets all the time...
Posted by blacktiger at March 16, 2010 1:36 PM ET:
Strike capabilities will always be dependent on the number of assets available to execute the mission. However, there is no way to tell what assets were available to our forces at the time of the mission.
Another factor to consider is the amount of available targets. Also, the application of force required to complete a surgical strike mission is a very measured (and hopefully) precise process in which a variety of tactics are used dependent upon conditions in and around the target area.
UAV operators and commanders are also tasked with ensuring that collateral damage is minimized so they have to be sure that their response is appropriate for the task at hand an no more than is necessary.
There are numerous reports of UAV's being used in swarms very successfully. Even this year, reports of US UAV's acting in swarms have made the news.
Posted by kp at March 16, 2010 2:02 PM ET:
Not hitting the cordon also depends on how much information you can gain from watching and listening to the cordon. Unlike a shoot 'em up game the issue here is finding high value targets and that involves intelligence and observation. Wasting Hellfires and drone time on insignificant Taliban is not a good use of resources (unless it leads you up the chain).
I suspect the follow up attacks (as mentioned before) are related to the value of the target hit and the quality of the intelligence given. If some HUMINT (or SIGINT) gives very high quality info ("Meeting of shura in the bunker below the building at these coordinates at 2am tomorrow") then you just have to hit that bunker. Then watch for squirters. If the intel is less good you might end up doing something like guided "reconnaissance in force" i.e. hit the best looking target that matches your intel then look and listen to what happens when the strike starts. I suspect the multiple hits at different locations in one day might be an example of this. Even killing a mid-level leader or middling AQ might lead to a turn out at the funeral (this is sort of leveraging psyops and understanding the enemy response) from the higher level leader who you follow for a while to see who he meets. But I suspect most of the time if you find one you follow and listen to him rather than kill him.
I'm sure vastly more resources are put into operation (24/7) doing recon and intel than doing strikes. Think undercover police work rather than Western movies.
Posted by BraddS at March 16, 2010 5:41 PM ET:
Thanks for the insight guys, welcomed as always. As usual it was way more complex than I thought. Good to know there is one place on the web where we can come for some intelligent discussion!
Posted by JRP at March 16, 2010 7:20 PM ET:
AQ top leadership (Bin Ladin and Z) are under total protection of Pakistani intelligence either in exchange for something or because of a unity of anti-Western philosophy or combination thereof. We will never hit them with the drone program. You have to go in there by foot soldier and kill or capture them.
AQ top leadership is also untraceable. Like a black hole, they emit no signal whatsoever. Nothing important is written down; everything important is committed to memory and "transported" by either pedestrian means or innocuous animal drawn cart or wagon. All transporters are informed on a strictly need to know basis. AQ's discipline makes Omerta look like a gabfest. AQ's patience is limitless. The only way to get them before they get us is to go into Pakistan proper and hunt them down house by house if necessary. Until America resolves to raise an army and do this, we are extremely vulnerable to attack by nuclear weapons smuggled ashore and detonated or brought close in to shore and detonated. Because AQ is 100% irrational I truly believe it is the most dangerous enemy this country has ever faced.
Posted by Zeissa at March 16, 2010 7:55 PM ET:
Great point kp, but the unadultered slaughter of the low thousands of unrepentant enemy combatants has its strong sides and can easily be done without wasting 'drone time' and a minimum of offensive capability. Take for example a drone is running out of fuel and about to head back to base. Fire all or almost all missiles that are left at low-ranking Taliban. Such a strategy may both disrupt or aid the efforts in finding high-mid level leaders, but it will certainly disrupt the rank and file and low-level leaders if not higher up.
However this can of course be done with many other assets than UAVs, and it is not done because of PR.
Posted by Jay at March 17, 2010 4:15 AM ET:
Long term..they might tunnel& bunker in like Hezbollah..
and adapt 2 "problems from the sky"
Good hunting as long as it lasts..
Posted by kp at March 17, 2010 2:17 PM ET:
The FATA is a very different place from Southern Lebanon. A big tunnel and bunker system requires a concrete and steel infrastructure to build those and you expose yourself during construction and ultimately you end up with a single fixed location i.e. target after it's built. None of these areas are immune from the Pakistani Army if they have the will to do it. I think these guys will continue to prefer to be mobile, dispersed and cryptic.

JRP said; "AQ top leadership is also untraceable. Like a black hole, they emit no signal whatsoever. Nothing important is written down; everything important is committed to memory and "transported" by either pedestrian means or innocuous animal drawn cart or wagon."�
I disagree. The ISI or the Taliban rarely know where the top AQ leadership is. The various parts of the Taliban only have a vague idea what the other parts are up to. It's all done on a need to know basis and high level strategy meetings are not particularly common. The very fact that the Taliban had quite a few meetings last fall (and we had several near misses bombing them) might indicate that the Taliban was has been having severe structural problems,
These groups use the same cell structure that leftist gorilla movements have used for the last 90 years. The different armed groups and political cadre, and ideological leadership are broken down into separate groups that can operate separately. The other groups can work independently if any group is compromised. Political cadre travel independently, and often tend to show up on a moments notice.

The nation has powerful space-based image intelligence (IMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and measurement and signatures intelligence (MASINT) collection systems and is in the process of developing even greater capabilities. It is essential that naval forces have access to data from these capabilities and that they be able to task the capabilities.
National IMINT systems provide photographic coverage over denied territory that, through the science of stereophotogrammetry, enables precise geodetic positioning of targets on the ground. For decades these capabilities have provided the means for precision strike against fixed targets; as the speed of tasking, collection, and processing has increased, the same capabilities have begun to put relocatable targets at risk. New satellite constellations are in progress under the Future Imagery Architecture program of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
SIGINT systems have global coverage and provide geodetic positioning of platforms emitting at radio frequencies. Their product is quickly and widely broadcast to tactical forces afloat and in the field, where it is used for strike targeting and defense avoidance and suppression, among other purposes.
Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites for decades served as sentinels for the early warning of the launch of strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles. In recent years the infrared-based MASINT data from these satellites have been exploited to cue systems defending against shorter-range tactical ballistic missiles. In addition, the DSP ability to estimate launch points enables counterattack against elusive Transportable Erector Launchers (TELs). New, more capable systems denoted Space-Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) High and Low are under development.
Defense Meteorological Support Program (DMSP) satellites and related space, atmospheric, and surface observations are used by the Fleet Numerical Meteorological and Ocean Center (FNMOC) to make now-casts and forecasts of a wide variety of oceanographic and atmospheric variables. Such surface wind and wave forecasts are of the utmost importance in naval operations as well as in planning ISR observations. FNMOC forecasts are especially valuable over ocean areas where other meteorological forecasting services do not provide the information necessary for effective naval air and surface operations.
The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) are developing impressive improvements to airborne surveillance capabilities. The new Multimission Maritime Aircraft, Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and Aerial Common Sensor, together with upgrades to the Global Hawk and Predator UAVs and E-2C aircraft, will provide information to enhance sig-

Gladwell talks about a range of high-profile topics from the Occupy movement to the current debt crisis and the riots in London. About the Occupy street protests in New York and other parts of the US, Gladwell says '…without a real leader to these movements, it will die'. And claims the EU was formed for 'romantic' reasons and 'now they're paying the price' with the recent debt crisis. Also, how Canada avoided the financial crisis that began with banks and other financial institutions in the US.

Rushton Parish Council Meeting Wednesday 5th June
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
The pothole on the A523 (the bit that floods beside the feeder) has been on the "to do" wist for ages but suddenly it got filled last week. This may be connected with a cyclist crashing into it and having to go to hospital. Highways at Stafford have at last responded on the one way status of Charles Knowle's Lane. The no entry at the top of the lane is an absolute requirement with no exceptions for locals. The need for a one way sign at the bottom of the lane will be considered but it is a low priority ( i.e. they might look at it next year !). They did however act quickly on the lengthsman repairs to drains, complaining that it was done before they signed off on the job.
The Marsh Villa septic tank issues continue and Amos builders acting on behalf of the landowner have blocked the insurance company's repair team entering the site ( despite legal right of access to tanks) so it is back to SMDC for enforcement.
Drummer's Knob aka Cop has been mentioned as a place to park by ramblers (see Congleton Chronicle article) so Rushton PC responsibilities could be impacted.
NEXT MEETING is Wednesday 3rd July
Graham Betton for Rushton PC (email@example.com)
Rushton Parish Council Annual Assembly and AGM Thursday 1st May
The meeting opened with the poorly attended Annual Assembly with no issues raised by the empty chairs.
David Lovatt was re-elected as Chairman of the PC and Martin Chester re-elected unopposed as Vice Chairman.
The accounts for Rushton PC year ending 31st March 2013 were approved and risk assessments and standing orders approved although any accidents on Drummer's Knob ( stray bullets from Gun Hill ?) were debated given lack of Land Registry recognition of ownership.
Planning application 13/00198/FUL to add a third floor with dormer windows to the west at Marsh View were rejected as too visually intrusive and use of Velux-type windows suggested instead.
Highways at Stafford still have not responded re the one way status of Charles Knowle's Lane and the well on Leek Old Road is overflowing once more.
It was agreed that we should continue membership of Staffs Parish Council Association at £132 pa. The donation of £250 for the upkeep of the Rushton parish graveyard was also agreed.
NEXT MEETING is Wednesday 5th June
Graham Betton for Rushton PC (email@example.com)
Rushton Parish Council Meeting Tuesday 2nd April 2013
Minutes of the previous meeting (March 5 6th) were agreed. Planning approval for an annex at Wolf's Lowe Farm has been approved subject to conditions. The change of use of agricultural land to domestic at Greenfields, Dingle Lane, was refused by SMDC. The hedge on Bandridge Lane has not been removed, just heavily pruned !
The grand unveiling of the village bench had to be postponed because Cllr Heath is prevented from public appearances in the lead up to the May elections.
Highways discussion around the one way system up Charles Knowles Lane is still awaiting a response from Staffs CC Highways.
The website rushtonparishcouncil.org may have to be renamed because Rushton Northants may also be hit.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 1st May with Annual Meeting commencing 7.00 at the Methodist Chapel.

She spread out on the couch and started playing with her pussy. Tessa fingered her twat and got it super wet. Then she sucked and fucked that cock. Tessa finally got her pussy pounded and received the cum fiesta, salsa all over her pretty face.
