"Twelve Longmire short stories available for the first time in a single volume-featuring an introduction by Lou Diamond Phillips of A & E's Longmire. Ten years ago, Craig Johnson wrote his first short story, the Hillerman Award-winning "Old Indian Trick." This was one of the earliest appearances of the sheriff who would go on to star in Johnson's bestselling, award-winning novels and the A & E hit series Longmire. Each Christmas Eve thereafter, fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new short story featuring an episode in Walt's life that doesn't appear in the novels; over the years, many have asked why they can't buy the stories in book form. Wait for Signs collects those beloved stories-and one entirely new story, "Petunia, Bandit Queen of the Bighorns"--For the very first time in a single volume. With glimpses of Walt's past from the incident in "Ministerial Aide," when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the hilarious "Messenger," where the majority of the action takes place in a Port-A-Potty, Wait for Signs is a necessary addition to any Longmire fan's shelf and a wonderful way to introduce new readers to the fictional world of Absaroka County, Wyoming"--Provided by publisher.

Terrapin Creek Cafe, a small, intimate restaurant, good art on the walls, owned and run by young culinary couple. (Eastshore Rd).

NOTE: No dogs are allowed on Salmon Creek Beach proper due to protection of the Snowy Plover bird.
However, dogs on leash ARE allowed on adjacent beaches: Bodega Bay Dunes State Park (south) and Wright's Beach (north). Also, there is lots of open land in the dunes behind the Salmon Creek beach where dogs have plenty of room to roam.

Contemporary metallic style rachel from Co– Verified Buyer This light looks cool and gives off lots of light. It has a metallic lining inside that makes it sparkle and adds interest. Only complaint is that the diffuser on the underside does not snap in so it is hard to keep it perfectly lined up with the shade. The metal shade is very thin so it bends easily and then the diffuser doesn't fit exactly. You have to work with it for a while to get it all lined up. |

LANSING, Michigan — Gov. Rick Snyder is facing increased pressure from female leaders to veto legislation that would let some people subject to personal protection orders carry a concealed gun.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Dearborn has written a letter to the Republican governor describing her childhood fear living in a "volatile" domestic situation. She says allowing domestic abusers to have firearms is a "formula for disaster."
The legislation would abolish county concealed weapon licensing boards and transfer their duties to county clerks or law enforcers.
The provision facing criticism from gun control and anti-domestic violence advocates would let subjects of protection orders get concealed pistol licenses unless the orders specifically restrict gun use.
The bill's Republican sponsor says critics are spreading "misinformation" and it would merely make various state laws uniform.

4/13/2012 Missouri: Traffic Camera Company Invests in Attorney GeneralRed light camera company gives more money to Missouri attorney general. Arizona-based red light camera firm American Traffic Solutions (ATS) handed another $5000 check to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster on March 29. Such donations are key because the Show Me State remains one of the last jurisdictions where automated ticketing machines are in use without the sanction of the legislature. That has put the systems in a precarious legal position. In February, Circuit Judge Mark H. Neill ruled that the St. Louis city ordinance granting ATS the franchise to issue traffic tickets was "void" because cities do not have police power unless it is granted to them by the state (view ruling). Neill clarified that once his decision is finalized, ATS will not be able to operate in the city. Attorney general opinions on such disputed matters are key because municipalities interested in whether or not they can install red light cameras look to the office for legal advice. Koster's predecessor, then-Attorney General Jay Nixon stated when the city of Arnold started using red light cameras in 2005 that he believed tickets sent in the mail were not valid. Koster officially reversed that stance last year. Since taking office in January 2009 Koster, has kept a cozy relationship with the automated ticketing industry. ATS has a dozen registered lobbyists working Missouri lawmakers, and special attention has been given to Koster. On January 10 this year, ATS lobbyist Jorgen Schlemeier bought Koster breakfast. In September 2010, he took Koster golfing -- just three days before ATS formally registered as Schlemeier's client. ATS Lobbyist William A. Gamble wined and dined Koster in June 2009. On March 28, 2012, ATS lobbyist Jane Dueker handed Koster a $1000 check. Ed Martin, the Republican candidate for attorney general, believes the connections between companies like ATS and Koster are unethical. "Whether it's trial lawyers seeking no-bid contracts to represent Missourians or campaign supporters selling a czar-like job, Chris Koster has made it clear: like the Obama administration, Koster believes in pay-to-play corruption" Ed Martin told TheNewspaper. "So it comes as no surprise that red-light camera supporters know the way to get Koster's attention -- and approval -- is to shower him with campaign contributions. This is the exact type of Obama-like corruption we need to stop." Martin, an attorney, was chief of staff to former Governor Matt Blunt (R). He also co-founded the group Missourians Against Red Light Cameras. |

Hotels In General: I Didn't Actually Stay Here But...
... the hotels all look pretty plush anyway. From all accounts the hotels here have been seriously upgraded from the Communist-era days and most look pretty modern and inviting with their own pools and facilities and not particularly expensive either with very good deals available at either end of the season.
Website is the Golden Sands general site which is mostly about hotels!

Arabella Riu Hotel: Great food and service
The 7-story hotel is just one of the many new buildings of this type. It has 4 stars and All Inclusive option, which I found really great. It has 2 outdoor pools and one indoor pool, gym and fitness area, 2 restaurants and 2 bars. I definetly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to go to Golden Sands.
What I found really interesting about the hotel were the entertainment programs: Aqua Gym, Aerobics, Bingo, Theatre and even Circus.

Park Hotel Odessos: Nice hotel away from biggest partys
Our group had four rooms and all have air conditioner that worked differently, but at least it worked in every room. Rooms were bit small, but nice. It was cleaned well (even with small tips :D). There wasn't any annoying people living at this time, mainly families and elders. Quiet nice place away from big partys in central hotels :D And great big breakfasts!

Cash for appliances' program to offer rebates
Published 11:08am Monday, January 4, 2010By AARON MUELLER
Niles Daily Star
The state of Michigan will be offering its residents a gift this new year in the form of the Michigan Appliance Rebate Program.
Slated to begin Feb. 15, the program offers rebates on purchases of energy-efficient refrigerators, dishwashers and other appliances.
The U.S. Department of Energy supplied the state with $9.6 million to fund the project, $8.5 million of which the state will directly use for rebates.
The program will apply to energy-efficient refrigerators, dishwashers, propane furnaces, propane water heaters, oil furnaces and solar water heaters.
Jeff Miars, owner of Camden TV and Appliance in Niles, said his store will participate in the rebate program.
"It will be a real good pick-up for business right now," he said. "With refrigerators up to 100 bucks off and with dishwashers up to 50 dollars off, that's a good incentive for people on the fence to get in and look at them and consider making a switch."
Miars said he's had a few customers come into the store to inquire about the program last week, so he is hopeful the program will be effective in bringing more people into his store.
But it's not just good for business but also for the consumer, according to Miars.
"It only costs $62 a year to operate an Energy Star refrigerator," he said. "I'd estimate you could save $50 a year with a new (energy efficient) refrigerator."
Miars said many new energy efficient appliances cost as much as 50 percent less to operate as appliances made 20 years ago.
Camden TV and Appliance has Energy Star refrigerators starting at $1,100 and Energy Star dishwashers starting at $400.
Jill M. Saletta, director of External Communications for Whirlpool Corp., issued a statement about the program.
"While our business and the industry both have a long way to go in terms of recovery, we believe the program will be good for consumers and serve as a great reminder that it is expensive to operate old, inefficient appliances," she said.
The state hopes to pay more than 112,000 rebates. The new appliances are estimated to produce a total annual energy savings of more than 14 million kilowatt hours, save over 300 million gallons of water annually and create 117 new jobs in the state.
Proposed rebates
Clothes washers – $50
Refrigerators (Energy Star) – $50
Refrigerators (Tier 3) – $100
Dishwashers (Energy Star) – $25
Dishwashers (Tier 2) – $50
Propane Furnaces – $300
Propane Water Heaters – $100
Oil Furnaces – $300
Solar Water Heaters – $1,200

Join Meir Panim's campaign to "light up" Chanukah for families in need.
I'm wrapping up my trip to the U.S., a visit that for the first time in many years happened to coincide with Christmas.
In Israel, December 25 is a regular workday – the banks are open and the post office and businesses all operate as usual.
But here it is a national holiday, and wherever you go at this time of year you hear the words " 'Tis the season to be jolly…"
As a songwriter I always find a reason to sing along with what I'm hearing, and I actually have my own reasons to be jolly.
Americans are blessed to live in a God-believing country. And what makes me jolly in this country is that whereas believing Christians declare that "the only way to God is through Him, who was born of God and is His intermediary," I, as a Jew, know I have the ability to go directly to God and that I am His son, as is declared a number of times in our holy Torah.
My grandfather, Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, zt"l, once told me that Christianity is perfectly permissible for non-Jews. "God is busy in His many worlds, and so here on earth he appointed an intermediating minister, so to speak," he explained. "But we Jews are not permitted to believe [in an intermediary] because we know we go directly to God."
And so I sing, " 'Tis the season to be jolly, knowing I am a son of God, and with my prayer I can change this world."
We've been reading in the Torah how Joseph the viceroy, second in command only to Pharaoh, brought his father, Yaakov Avinu, to a private meeting with the king. Twice, the verses state, Yaakov gave a blessing to Pharaoh.
Rashi points out that the first was basically "Shalom Aleichem," the basic blessing made by one person to another.
Yaakov's second blessing, however, put an end to the great hunger in that land. Yes, that hunger, which after only two years had forced people to sell their animals, their lands – even themselves – to the state in exchange for sustenance, was supposed to last five more years.
Our sages tell us Yaakov blessed Pharaoh so that whenever the king would approach the Nile, its water would rise, overflow, and come toward his feet.
This was amazing because in Egypt the water's overflow was equivalent to rain. And so with the land watered, the hunger would now come to an end.
Pharaoh had his dream come true. This is the same Pharaoh who would relieve himself daily in the Nile so that no one would see him in need of a men's room. This was the same Pharaoh who in his famous dream saw himself standing on the waters of the Nile (without getting wet).
Now all of Egypt would believe him to be a deity and that the only way to God was through him.
But why would Yaakov assist Pharaoh in creating this deception, causing the people to believe the king was a deity? Don't we have a halachic rule of not placing a stumbling block in the path of the blind?
The answer, I believe, is that Yaakov was living in a society where the lamb was a deity. He turned Pharaoh into a deity – a human lamb, so to speak – with the power of speech who could, if he so chose, be honest and declare publicly that the blessing of Yaakov was what caused the waters of the Nile to overflow and, in effect, end the hunger. Yaakov was hoping to thus weaken belief in the lamb and strengthen belief in the power of man's direct prayers to the Lord.
Yaakov tried but failed. The famine ended but Pharaoh did not nullify belief in the lamb; indeed, the Jews sacrificed the Pesach lamb two hundred years later, in effect slaughtering the Egyptian deity on the eve of their exodus.
About 1,200 years later a Jewish man was born who was declared to be God's Lamb who died for our sins. Christians believe the only way to God is through him. My reason to be jolly, as stated above, is that I am a descendant of Yaakov who went directly to God, needing no intermediary.

Boundless love was something Rav Kook had for the nation of Israel. Just as one cannot question the boundless love of Hashem for Israel, one cannot question the boundless love of a Torah giant for his people.
I hollered over and over again, waving a clinched fist toward the heavens.

Strip club's troubles continue to mount
WATERBURY — When Pandora's Cabaret opened last year, its owners said they hoped their exotic dance club would be a high-class addition to the city that would add to the tax base and employ a large number of people.
But Pandora's now finds itself in a sea of troubles.
The club's backers claim in a lawsuit that they're owed six-figure debts, and one is looking to foreclose on the property. Police have been called to the club about 60 times to deal with problems. And an ongoing petition drive is aiming to prevent the club from obtaining its liquor license.
Those are just a few of the things that Pandora's Cabaret on Washington Avenue has faced since its opening in February 2013. Now, after a wild gun battle broke out there eight days ago, police say they want to shut the club down as a public nuisance.
Pandora's has been closed since the shootout in the early-morning hours of March 22. An attorney for the club said Friday the owner plans to reopen, will install metal detectors at the door, close at 2 a.m. and has contacted a new firm to provide "airport-like" security.
"He wants to protect the customer, that's what he's looking to do, and protect his investment," Martin Minnella, an attorney for the club, said. "He doesn't want a situation like this to happen again and he'll do everything he can to prevent it."
Police say otherwise. Police Chief Vernon Riddick Jr. said his department doesn't have any kind of agreement with the club and hasn't endorsed its security efforts. Authorities will attempt to close it down, and police will have a "zero-tolerance" approach to any type of criminal behavior there, he said.
In addition, Riddick said Pandora's and other bars should be on notice — undercover police and plainclothes officers will be out looking for violations and checking IDs using a grant-funded program.
The push to close the club came following the shootout on March 22, when three people were hit by some of the 29 bullets that were fired in a melee that broke out in Pandora's parking lot. Police arrested one of the suspected gunmen on Friday, but other suspects remain at large.
When the club opened last year, its owners, Tammy Gomes, 41, and 54-year-old Lionel "Lee" Gouveia, described it as an upscale, topless exotic dance club and gourmet restaurant. Sporting a hot tub, stages and VIP rooms — including one with a bondage theme — Gomes said she would employ about 45 workers.
But neighbors protested its opening, claiming the city's image could take a hit and worrying about the "secondary effects" of the club.
In the past year, there have been 60 calls at the club for police services, covering a range of complaints from common fights to a stolen car, according to investigative records.
In addition to minor calls for disorderly conduct, police investigated 21 reports of large gatherings, three assaults, two thefts and five weapons complaints.
In November, an officer's cruiser was damaged by a car fleeing the club's parking lot while he was responding there to investigate a weapons complaint. The car escaped the lot after hitting the police car and an officer wasn't able to catch up to it.
In June, a 31-year-old man was slashed in the neck during a fight in the parking lot that left him with a 3-inch, superficial wound. In July, a bartender had her Mini Cooper stolen after a thief stole her purse. The car was later recovered, but was damaged.
At least five shots from a .380-caliber weapon were fired near the building in late December. The shooter in that case fled before police arrived and there was no arrest made.
In a more recent case, people in the bar told police a man had flashed a gun at employees when he was asked to leave the club at about 4 a.m. on a February morning.
Authorities are aiming to use the state's Nuisance Abatement and Quality of Life Act to put the club temporarily out of business.
Enacted in 1998, the law gives law-enforcement authorities a legal tool to drive crime from properties that they believe have become hubs for illegal activities, including drug trafficking, prostitution, illegal gambling and illegal alcohol sales. At least three arrests for those types of crimes, and certain others, are needed to enforce the act with the help of the state's attorney's office.
The last Waterbury business shut down using the act was Carmine's Cafe, a bar on East Main Street. In 2010, police said undercover officers had bought cocaine inside the bar four times, buys that resulted in five arrest warrants. It was the second time the bar had been shut down using the act.
But Minnella said he doesn't think the city can use that act against Pandora's
"I doubt, seriously, that the city would ever be successful in pursuing a nuisance case against them," he said. "It's a very difficult thing to do."
Pandora's also has some of its backers hounding it for repayment of debts, according to court documents.
The club, which was opened last year after renovations, has multiple lawsuits pending against its owners, including a move to foreclose on the property that states the club defaulted on a $170,000 loan.
Joseph Testa, who owns a remodeling company on Lakewood Road, claims in two lawsuits that he's owed that six-figure loan and is demanding the property.
Testa also claims he was offered a 5 percent share of the club in exchange for $46,000 in improvements to the property.
Other suits claim liens totaling more than $342,000 have been placed on the property by two construction companies, including K and M Fire Protection Services in Plainville. In addition to accusing the club owners of fraud, K and M claims it was offered a 14 percent share in the company that owned the club in exchange for work.
The Rev. James Lilley, a pastor for the First Assembly of God Church on Thomaston Avenue, has petitioned the state's liquor commission in an effort to prevent the club from renewing its liquor license. Lilley and about 14 other petitioners claim the club is near a church and say the neighborhood already has an abundance of other "liquor establishments," among other criticisms.
Lilley said that "sexually-oriented" businesses are noted for increasing crime and affecting neighborhoods.
"The harmful secondary effects are really what our congregation is very concerned about," Lilley said. "We want to make Waterbury a family friendly city."
He also questioned why the club was allowed to operate after 2 a.m. as a BYOB club.
The club was granted a provisional liquor permit that expired on Feb. 15, according to the State Department of Consumer Protection, which has oversight of the permits and adult entertainment clubs.
Although the club advertised on its Facebook page that it was open until 5 a.m. as a BYOB, or Bring Your Own (alcohol) Beverage establishment, the department doesn't issue permits for that kind of business, according to Claudette Carveth, a department spokeswoman.
A bottle club law is on the books in Connecticut that allows for a shop to hold onto alcohol for patrons, but not sell it to them. But those types of clubs must close by 2 a..m. on the weekends, the same as a regular bar, according to state law.
During a recent hearing, Lilley's group of petitioners submitted pictures of male strippers inside the club. Some of the more graphic photos show a bare-chested man appearing to hold his genitals, while another has a pair of underwear pulled down that shows the cleft of his buttocks.
Exotic dance clubs in the state are not allowed to have dancers who are completely nude or topless.
Dancers also are barred from showing the cleft of the buttocks during a performance, nor are they allowed to mimic sex acts, among other regulations.
Based on the evidence submitted by Lilley's group, the liquor control division "reviewed the materials and has forwarded a complaint alleging violations of the liquor control regulations relating to the conduct of the permit premises," Carveth said in an e-mail.

Authorities indicted a Philadelphia doctor yesterday on the charge of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. Dr. William J. O'Brien III, 49, allegedly ran "pill mills" out of his offices on the 9800 block of Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia and on Rolling Lane in Levittown, Bucks County. The physician charged patients hundreds of dollars in cash for appointments and refills on prescription narcotics, and he distributed these prescriptions without conducting medical exams, ABC News reported.
With prescription painkiller abuse and overdoses a raging public health crisis that kills well over 10,000 people each year, there's absolutely no room for pill mills in the offices of our trusted doctors. Pennsylvania physicians over-prescribing painkillers or selling them in pill mills can only lead to tragedy.
Powerful opioid painkiller oxycodone and benzodiazepine anti-anxiety drug Xanax were the two medications named in the charges. Both are controlled substances. Photo Credit: Corbis Images.
The Charges against Dr. O'Brien
In addition to the charge of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances – which his receptionist, 29-year-old Angela Rongione, has also been charged with – Dr. O'Brien faces 26 counts of "illegally distributing oxycodone and Xanax outside the usual course of professional practice and for no legitimate medical purpose," according to ABC News. Reports alleged that O'Brien falsified patient records to show that a medical examination had taken place, even though no such exam actually happened. Patients paid $250 in cash for their first appointment and prescription and another $200 for each appointment to get a refill, according to ABC News. By the end of 2014, federal authorities believed the pill mill had brought in nearly $1,800,000.
The charges against Dr. O'Brien are serious. If convicted of conspiracy, he could spend 20 years in prison, ABC News reported. Each count of illegally distributing the medication could carry a five-year sentence plus fines.
Local License Suspensions and Criminal Charges
Dr. O'Brien isn't the first local physician to get in trouble for his painkiller prescribing practices in recent years. Last July, the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners suspended the license of Merchantville family doctor Adam C. Gilliss for painkiller prescribing practices that "would present clear and imminent danger to public health, safety and welfare."
Some dangerous doctors prescribe narcotic painkillers inappropriately for years before a government agency steps in – like the Philadelphia physician whose over-prescribing practices caused the deaths of three of our clients. As we represented the families of these deceased patients, we got the FBI involved and got this particular doctor's license suspended. We knew it was the only way to protect the rest of the physician's patients from meeting the same fate as our clients who had lost their lives.
Doctors know that controlled substances are controlled for a reason – because they're dangerous. If physicians don't take appropriate measures when prescribing these drugs, their patients can develop dependence and addictions. They can overdose, even while taking the medications as directed, if their doctors fail to choose the right dosage. When physicians engage in potentially dangerous prescribing practices, as Dr. O'Brien is alleged to have done, the legal system is there to stop them. Criminal charges like these and civil lawsuits like the ones we've filed on behalf of our clients' families can keep reckless doctors from continuing to endanger patients' lives.
