The Errand Man helps busy professionals reclaim leisure time
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
While everyone talks about the secret to work-life balance, it can sometimes be the little everyday tasks that threaten to tip the scales.
The Errand Man
—a man with a mission to help people reclaim and transform otherwise hectic hours into sensible leisure time.
"I know what's it like to be juggling so many things that you feel there's just not enough hours in the day," says Skip Lare, a retired career Coast Guard officer and human resource executive. "I used to feel that way, but now I'm here to help people with those everyday tasks that can eat up all your spare time."
Lare started his personal concierge service in August. His goal? To be the extra hands people sometimes need to keep up with the pace of modern life. He's there to pick up that bike at the repair shop, deliver garden mulch, and do weekly grocery shopping. No task or errand is too small or too large. He'll find a way, he says, to make it work.
"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to shoot me a text asking me to pick up eggs, bread and milk so you can avoid yet another trip to the store on your way home?" Lare asks. "I can do that."
Lare got the idea for The Errand Man from his daughter, and set out to model his business after concierge services he had seen in metropolitan areas like Detroit, St. Louis and D.C. He runs errands, shops, and provides pick-up and delivery services for both individuals and businesses. He's also there to help transport or do everyday things for the elderly. Lare is licensed, insured and bonded, and a mobile notary. Above all, he says, he's among one of the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs: senior citizens.
"I like helping people out because now I have the time to do that," says Lare. "I can do things last minute or at a scheduled time. If you need something done, I can help."

ALIVE expands fitness center, increases membership and jobs
Wednesday, February 04, 2015
An inventive expansion of one of mid-Michigan's premiere fitness centers will ensure community members have even more space to make good on their New Year's resolutions.
In mid-January, the Charlotte-based
unveiled a new, reconfigured area in the MOVE fitness center that creates more areas for stretching, building strength, and working cardio routines. ALIVE invested $30,000 to upgrade training equipment, install a cardio theater sound system, and add several new programs like CrossFit, POUND, PiYo and high intensity interval training—or H.I.T.T.
Patrick Sustrich, CEO of ALIVE, comments that the 1,5000-square foot expansion of the fitness center represents ALIVE's commitment to be an experienced-based destination health park, operated by Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital.
"Back in 2009 when we were looking to expand key clinical areas of our hospital, it forced us to reflect on our role in the community," says Sustrich. "We realized our bigger purpose was to enhance the overall vitality of the community in addition to treating sick people."
Nearly 19,000 people visit Alive annually for various services and activities. By expanding MOVE, Sustrich says, the in-house fitness center can accommodate up to 250 people at a time. MOVE currently has 2,000 members.
"We are now the correct size for the volume of people using our facility," says Sustrich. "And we still have more than 13,000 unfinished square feet we can expand into overtime."
Located at 800 W. Lawrence Ave. in Charlotte, ALIVE draws guests and visitors from Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, South Lansing, Nashville, Potterville and Olivet. In total, he says, the health-focused destination attracts people from nearly 100 ZIP codes statewide.
"We're excited," says Sustrich. "Having so much group exercise space allows us to change with the trends in the fitness industry. As new, innovative classes come up, we can bring them here. It keeps things fun, mixes things up, and keeps things fresh."
ALIVE and MOVE are currently hiring full- and part-time fitness staff. Additional jobs are also being filled at ALIVE's cornerstone restaurant:
The Big Salad.

Hatching contestant pitches Mini Maker Space
Wednesday, November 19, 2014
With the introduction of various Maker spaces in the area, inventors and creatives are getting more opportunities to bring their ideas to life. But, with all these opportunities, Melissa Rabideau Allen noticed a particular group that was being left out. "Kids are pretty much geniuses," says Rabideau, "but their creativity isn't always harnessed."
As part of the team that brought us The Poochie Bowl, Rabideau presented her idea for a Mini Maker Space at last months' Hatching and brought home the grand prize. The space will be open to kids ages 4-12, but Rabideau says they won't exclude those older or younger that would like to participate. "A lot of the time kids have ideas, they just don't know how to make them happen," says Rabideau.
The space will have hands on tools, technology and other inventors available to them that can help with the logistics of their idea. They will have access to 3D printers and scanners, motors, circuits and anything else that will help them take an idea and turn it into a product.
The Mini Maker Space will have a flagship store in the Meridian Mall and will look to other Maker Spaces to connect with them. They expect to hire at least 10-12 people within the next 6-12 months.

Life Saving Technology introduced to Tri-County ambulances
Wednesday, August 27, 2014
In America, someone has a heart attack every 34 seconds. Every minute someone dies from the same ailment. Every second counts when a patient in cardiac arrest is en route to the hospital. "The quicker we can get those arteries open, the better," says John Dery, Sparrow's Associate Director of Critical Care Transport and EMS, "But the systems we have now take a lot of time."
Funded through a partnership between Sparrow and McLaren Greater Lansing, the wireless LIFENET system allows first responders to send patient information and ECG readings from the field to the hospital. This allows the hospital to prepare for the patient, helps reduce time to treatment and improves efficiency.
All the ambulances in the Tri-Country area have been outfitted with this technology, a major benefit to those who may not live close to a hospital or medical facility. "They are getting state of the art care, rather than being sent to a small facility that can't treat them," says Dery.
With the introduction of this technology and the growth opportunities it will present, qualified people with a knowledge of technology will need to be hired. The opportunities this, and all future technology that spins from it, present are limitless. Dery says, "Integrating technology into medicine is a huge opportunity."

Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs introduces app to share Michigan art
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
A project that has been in the works for a few years, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) has introduced an app that will send tourists and residents on an art tour of Michigan.
According to John Bracey, the Executive Director of the MCACA, there is art all across Michigan that even residents don't know about. He wanted a way to let people know about that art. The building of the app was made possible because of funds provided by the Michigan Economic Development Cooperation, and they made a connection with Venturit out of East Lansing to build it. Bracey says they were excited to be able to hire a local company.
The app will allow users to input their location and then show them the locations of all kinds of art from fountains to sculptures. They will be able to view individual pieces or build a customized art tour. "The idea is to show a different image of the state of Michigan," says Bracey.
Once the app has been in use for a while, Travel Michigan should be able to provide numbers to show the impact it is having on tourism. While it may be indirect, it will hopefully allow people to visit new neighborhoods and cities and then visit local businesses in those areas.

Michigan-Florida Green Corridor gives access to alternative fuels
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
After five years in the making, the I-75 Green Corridor is in the final stages, offering a way for drivers of alternative fuel vehicles a way to fuel up between Michigan and Florida.
Funded by the Department of Energy and supported by the Clean Energy Coalition, and with assistance from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Green Corridor is one of the world's longest biofuel stations corridors. In Michigan alone there are 12 biofuel stations along I-75. There are 26 E85 (a fuel with 85 percent ethanol) stations, and 9 B20 (a biodiesel blend) stations.
According to John Overly of the Clean Fuels Coalition in Tennessee, the biofuels industry quickly "Went from the thousands, to the billions."The more we can create these stations, the more jobs we can create and the more citizens we can help." The biodiesel industry alone has created 62,000 jobs and many of these jobs have a local impact during projects like this.
The corridor should be completed this summer, with only 40 stations left to install. Most of the work ahead comes with working to promote the stations and making people aware they are available. Overly is hoping that this project paves the way for many more like it, "Michigan has used state funding to support adding stations, and Tennessee is hoping to follow suit."

Attracting wild bees to farms proves a good investment
Wednesday, April 09, 2014
Attracting wild bees to farms by investing in planting their natural habitat will provide higher harvest yields and will pay for itself in 4 years according to research studies out of
Michigan State University
Historically, wild bees would have had access to a more diverse range of wildflowers to sustain them throughout the growing season. Currently, beekeepers transport honey bees into the area incurring a nationwide expense of $14 billion. This practice will not replace that practice but may supplement the cost.
"It will take some time and patience to realize the return, said Rufus Isaacs, professor and extension specialist in the
entomology department
. "The Initial cost of planting can be covered by government programs that will help farmers see a return more quickly."
The study was conducted in farms in western and northern Michigan because they are #1 in the nation for blueberry and tart cherry production. However, the research published in the study is useful for farmers across the state that grow fruits, vegetables and nut varieties that require the pollination of bees.
Blaauw was the lead author on the paper and is now at Rutgers University. Isaacs' research is funded by the USDA and MSU's AgBioResearch.

Hunt for Points and discover culture in your community
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
A scavenger hunt app created to help community members discover culture in their own community will be releasing an updated version. The concept for
was inspired by the
Dirty Feet Adventure
race whose tag line is 'Never Stop Exploring'.
"We wanted to create a similar experience that people could do on their own time," said Jeff Smith, CEO. "We wanted people to get out into the community and discover it in a fun way."
Smith and his team partnered with
Lansing Give Camp
to create the early stages of the app and eventually developed Pointillism into a mobile map where users could check in to unique local sites and earn points on a leaderboard.
The new version will allow users to create private scavenger hunts with as many points of interest as they want. The potential for commercial use is extensive.
Michigan State University
is interested in setting up a private hunt for incoming freshman to help them get familiar with the campus. This feature is available for a fee with a cost structure based on the amount of users able to participate.
Pointillism has already been utilized by participants of
Be A Tourist In Your Own Town
"People may not know the awesome things in their own community. Pointillism works to provide users with an insider's view on a new community while competing against others." said Smith.

GTRI and Prima Civitas team up to enhance Michigan's talent pipeline
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Global Talent Retention Initiative
(GTRI) and
Prima Civitas
team up to expand Michigan's talent pipeline in an effort to cultivate greater economic prosperity for the state.
"Our goal is attracting and retaining talent, whether it comes from within our borders or beyond." said Prima Civitas CEO Arnold Weinfeld. "Michigan is in catch up mode when it comes to having a highly skilled labor force for the kinds of high wage jobs that are present in our economy today."
Due to the lack of skilled labor in our country, this initiative is one that encourages an enhancement to our statewide diversity while creating a community that is attractive and welcoming to the immigrant population. This diversity is expected to also attract a younger generation that enjoys diverse surroundings and experiences. Additionally, attracting international students and helping employers sponsor them drives up wages in Michigan because of prevailing wages.
"You are losing half of your talent pool if you don't consider international students," asserted GTRI's Director, Athena Trentin. "We don't have enough engineering students with Masters Degrees or PHDs in Michigan right now. "
Currently, 40% of engineering degrees are awarded to international students with 50% of the degrees earned at the PHD level.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Two Men and a Truck
launches Career Move Month in March with a goal of accepting 10,000 applications and hiring 1,000 people nationwide, 24 people in the Greater Lansing area.
"This is an opportunity to showcase the careers and potential for career advancement with Two Men and a Truck," said President Randy Shacka. "It's also a way to proactively plan for the busy season between May and September."
Career Move Month began in 2013 with 1,000 applicants and 550 people hired nationwide. The local business has seen impressive growth this year signing their largest number of new franchisees and hitting their highest revenues ever. As a system, their focus turned towards improving sales processes and finding the right people to help continue this growth.
"It was the perfect storm of people, processes and technology. We had to ask ourselves what we could do differently to sustain our growth," said Shacka, who originally started as an intern with the expanding company. "Companies do not make great companies. People do."
The diverse positions available will range from movers and drivers to sales and management. The increase in staffing at the Lansing corporate office will require a 7 million dollar expansion of the Greater Lansing home office.
In addition to the reinvestment in the economic improvement of the Mid-Michigan area, Two Men and a Truck will donate $5,000 to 5 different
Dress for Success
locations to support career advancement for low-income women nationwide.

With the intent to reach more military and veteran families who need help, the
VFW National Home

�In addition to our new website, we�re updating everything we have, from brochures to business cards and souvenir items to sales receipts,� says Veronica LaDuke, communications officer for the VFW National Home. "We were able to mitigate some of the cost by timing our launch so a lot of our collateral materials were running out anyway."
The National Home has expanded its program offerings in recent years to better meet the needs of today�s military and veteran families. The goal of the redesign was to create an image more in line with the services being offered.
�The logo is meant to represent the three words that best describe the National Home: Help, Patriotism and Hope,� adds LaDuke. �We want people to know they don�t have to come here to be helped. But if they do come here, we offer a variety of on-campus programs as well, including helping military families with housing and resources during dad and/or mom�s deployment.�

On the bright side I didn't gain 20 pounds. Turns out I actually lost 2 pounds! Ah so the magic to weight loss is to eat your ass off and not work out. Ah I joke...*sob*...remember muscle is heavier than fat...so I guess my muscle loss to fat gain ratio was slightly above 1.

... so I took the liberty to take a selfie in the mirror. However keep in mind that this photo is not an accurate representation of my physical appearance due to the fact that:
a) I didn't do an ab set right before so...doesn't really count

Day 2: Cleveland Part Two, and Kalamazoo
The rhyme wasn't intentional, but I'll stick with it.
Today was a little more interesting, so here we go. After a light breakfast, I treated myself to the view at Lake Erie. Gazing out at the water, it's hard to believe it's just a lake, and not an ocean. The sound of the water lightly rolling into the coast line was so relaxing, but somehow it energized me to start my day. The sky was clear, the gulls were soaring overhead, and I couldn't have been ...

International Dark Sky Park
The Headlands, a beautiful 550-acre park just west of Mackinaw City, is one of six International Dark Sky Parks in the U.S. and one of nine in the world. Named a Dark Sky Park in May 2011, this designation means that The Headlands is a spectacular place for sky and star gazing.
A Dark Sky Park has minimal light interruption from nearby cities or places making it a perfect place to view the skies at night. The approval required a lengthy process by Emmet County, who owns and operates the park. As an official Dark Sky Park, the only one in Michigan, The Headlands must be open at all times and include an educational component about astronomy and maintain park lighting that is minimizes interference with star gazing.
The nation's other Dark Sky Parks are in Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, Ohio, and New Mexico.
The Headlands contains two miles of pristine Lake Michigan beaches, rare and endangered plant life, and wild life including bald eagles and osprey. Trails through the park offer the opportunity to view the plant and wild life.
The park provides lodging in the Beach House that houses up to 18 people. In 2011, theknot.com, a national wedding source, named The Headlands a site for the Best of Weddings.
Throughout the year, the Headlands Dark Sky Park hosts night time events such as a Halloween event as well as those to celebrate a lunar eclipse or meteor shower. The Headlands Dark Sky Park already is drawing visitors from around the U.S. who travel to Northern Michigan to observe the sky in such a perfect setting.
2014 Programs

Timed to the peak of the Total Lunar Eclipse,this eclipse is the second in the series of four Total Lunar Eclipses making up the tetrad of eclipses that is occurring from April 2014-September 2015, and will be in phase as it is setting for Northern Michigan observers.

The Indiana State University Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) has received the highest level of certification from Indiana's Paths to Quality program with a Level 4 distinction.
Paths to QUALITY is Indiana's quality rating and improvement system for child care programs. The statewide initiative applies a set of standards to help parents identify licensed family child care centers that have met state requirements for health and safety.
The program is designed to assess the quality of licensed child care centers through a four level scale. Each level has specific criteria that the program must meet to have that quality level awarded to them, with Level 4 being the highest honor.
Center Director Gail Gottschling thinks that the distinction, "Allows us to join other leaders in the area of Early Childhood Education as a model of what all programs can strive for. We want to set an example for our ISU teachers in training to follow."
ISU's Early Childhood Education Center has professional childhood programs designed for infants, toddlers as well as two to five-year-olds. The program is licensed to care for 70 children of ISU Students, faculty, staff as well as other community members.
It also provides an exemplary child care program for academic research and training. The Center has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. It has an ongoing affiliation with the Bayh College of Education at Indiana State University, and works in conjunction with the Department of Elementary, Early and Special Education.

RE: Site ownership
"Why does Michael need a reason at all to explain his actions or how he runs his website? It's his site he has the right to do what he wants without having to explain it to anyone."
He doesn't but any revenues generated by this site require:
1. Happy advertisers with an audience for ads.
2. Happy paying subscribers.
Furthermore, since the property card has been played and this site is nothing more than intellectual property that means intellectual property exists according to the OP. So, if I walk into your house do you own the shirt on my back? If you have a policy that states if I walk into your house that you can take possession of the shirt off my back because you now own it have you justly acquired my shirt because I entered your publicly accessible property? Since the OP is essentially arguing for IP, does the same apply to all the ideas espoused herein? Does a sign which states some shirts will be forcefully removed make it a just policy? If someone was invited in your house, because it is accessible to the public, wearing a shirt you found offensive would you just walk over and take it from them without saying anything?
I am not all that opinionated on this topic. I just wanted to chime in because every rant has opposing points. Nor am I offering any suggestions to any points raised in my comments but I do think in general (which is my own meaningless personal opinion) if you would not do a thing to someone who has been invited in your publicly accessible house, it ought not be done here including moderation. This site, like any other site that can be accessed by the general public, offers a de facto invitation to people.
Finally, if anyone is going to make an issue out of reading the general disclaimer or any other site policy I would consider a perfectly reasonable response to be: "No, because I was not offered any payment or benefit for my time to do so."
I look forward to any educational value of any responses to this comment.

I said, "In front of her you have to prove what you have attained, to what purpose your life has been, what joy you have attained." And I said, "I will get married - I am ready - if you convince me of what your life has attained. All those arguments you have come prepared with.and I have not given you a chance. But if you cannot convince me then you will have to divorce your wife. Either I get married or you get divorced!"
After that I would go to his house every day, and sometimes he would hide in the bathroom, sometimes he would escape through the back door. His wife became very worried: "What is the matter? Why is he so afraid of this boy?" And she asked me, "What is the matter? He is not even so afraid of me! He hides in the bathroom, he says, 'Tell that boy I am sick.' And he is not sick. He continuously worries about you. What is the matter?"
I told her, "This is the matter - it is a question for you to think over too. He has to prove it. And I have been contacting all the neighbors. I will collect all the neighbors who are my witnesses that his life is the most miserable in the whole town. He has to prove that he has achieved some bliss. If he cannot prove it, then he has to divorce you!"
She said, "What!"
I said, "That is the question. If I have to get married then he has also to put something at stake. It is a gamble! I am gambling my whole life, I am gambling my future - he has to gamble his past. I have no past, he has no future!"
He was listening from the bathroom. He came out and touched my feet. He said, "Forgive me and I will never bother you anymore. Don't disturb my life! I am already in so much trouble, and you are haunting me every day. Even in the night I see you in my dreams. And I know that you can defeat me - you have got hold of my weak point!"
Life has no purpose. Nothing has any purpose; that's the beauty of life. The moment you bring in purpose, you destroy the beauty. Love has no purpose and meditation is certainly absolutely beyond the idea of purpose. There is no end beyond it, it has intrinsic value. It is not a means to some end, it is an end unto itself.
And you say: "Having achieved that." That is only a supposition - you have not achieved that. You are just asking a question for the question's sake, because anybody who has achieved that moment of meditation cannot ask this question.
You are asking: "Having achieved that, to what end do we live?" Once you have achieved meditation all ends disappear. You simply live as the flowers live, as the birds live, as the stars live. You become part of this universal festival of existence, of joy, of beauty. This whole grandeur, this splendor is yours. To be meditative simply means dropping all ego trips - purpose is also an ego trip - dropping all goals, being herenow.
And you ask: "What has happened here is immensely overpowering and beautiful. Will it last?" You have lost it already. If it is immensely overpowering and beautiful, you will not ask the question, "Will it last?" Who cares? This moment is enough. Who knows about the next moment?

The cost-effective days of paid search may be coming to a close, as demand outpaces supply.
Running out of advertising inventory may be a too-much-of-a-good-thing problem search engines are facing, according to a report released by Nielsen//NetRatings today. But it's a problem nonetheless.
The major search engines' robust growth is outpacing the advertising supply. Nielsen//NetRatings' director of strategic analysis, Ken Cassar, predicts paid search will undergo continued price increases until the medium is no longer cost-effective for advertisers. The measurement firm recommends search engines develop new advertising opportunities while maximizing existing revenue streams.
Illustrating high search activity are measurements from Nielsen//NetRatings finding that 1.2 billion search sessions were generated by Americans during May 2004 – a 30 percent increase from the previous year.
Also, traffic analysis from Hitwise indicates that Google, Yahoo and MSN combined accounted for 5.5 percent of all U.S. Internet visits for the week ending May 15, 2004. comScore qSearch revealed over 40 million consumers in the UK, France and Germany used search engines in April, 2004.
The Nielsen//NetRatings report offered suggestions for both the search engines and the search advertisers.
"The big win for the search engines, and advertisers alike, is when the search engines are able to get people to use the Internet to find and buy products that they aren't already using the Web to find," said Cassar. "Technologically driven improvements in relevancy will contribute to this, but is not the only answer. It may also include the laborious work of cataloging and selling to local merchants and developing content that is valued by consumers," he concluded.
Potential growth areas for paid search inventory include: improvement of search relevancy; increased personalization for better targeting; localization to support local purchases; and specialization to narrow the scope of search results.
The measurement firm recommends that search advertisers track the effectiveness of their search dollars, and also integrate paid search with non-search advertising.
Nielsen//NetRatings also urges advertisers not to pay exorbitant premiums above justifiable prices strictly as a pre-emptive move against competitors gaining key locations on portals.

It's Not Not an OptionJuly 16, 2009 - by Donny Shaw
This editorial from Business Investor's Daily, which I noticed this morning but basically dismissed, is actually beginning to have some impact in the blogs. It's the top item on Memeorandum right now, for example. The editorial reads, in part:
It's Not An Option
It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's "health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal.
When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday, just after the 1,018-page document was released, we thought we surely must be misreading it. So we sought help from the House Ways and Means Committee.
It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.
So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.
The paragraph of the bill they are referencing is here. Read alone, it does sound a lot like how they interpret it. But if you read down a little further in the bill or have a broader understanding of the various mechanisms in the bill, it's clear that this is setting up a distinction between existing private plans, which are grandfathered, and new plans – private and public – which will have to be a part of the Health Insurance Exchange set up under the bill. A little further down in the bill, you can read:
(1) IN GENERAL- Individual health insurance coverage that is not grandfathered health insurance coverage under subsection (a) may only be offered on or after the first day of Y1 as an Exchange-participating health benefits plan.
An astute reader at Instapundit was quick to point this out.
So what is the Health Insurance Exchange that new plans will have to participate in? You can read about it in the bill here, or in the committee summary:
The new Health Insurance Exchange creates a transparent and functional marketplace for individuals and small employers to comparison shop among private and public insurers. It works with state insurance departments to set and enforce insurance reforms and consumer protections, facilitates enrollment, and administers affordability credits to help low- and middle-income individuals and families purchase insurance. Over time, the Exchange will be opened to additional employers as another choice for covering their employees. States may opt to operate the Exchange in lieu of the national Exchange provided they follow the federal rules.
According to the bill text, the Exchange will be made available to the public through a telephone hotline and a website, which, the bill stipulates, must be written in plain text.
The broader lesson here is that the public (and Congress) needs time to have these discussions and to figure out what's in the bill. These discussions are invaluable for actually building public knowledge about bills and how they work. They also provide the basis for a healthy democracy. The more they are allowed to flourish, the better off we all are. Paul Blumenthal has more on the health care bill's timeline and its implications for transparency.

If it is in fact "just a grandfathering clause", why must it be written in such a confusing manner and given the public outcry against a Public Option why would our esteemed leaders not clarify this so that it CAN NOT be misinterpreted. The people are always right to be distrustful of government as if a phrase, clause, law, amendment or sneeze can be taken and bent to increase power or tax revenue – in time it will be.
Basically, it is illegal to purchase a private policy unless you want one that has terms and coverage dictated the "Czar Du Jour".
So you just said page 14 and 15 explain 16 and that's "crystal clear?" I hope you're joking. Listen to yourself.
Read the bill, stop believing someone else's opinion.
Page 14 and 15 explain everything in crystal clear detail about what page 16 means.
What the (bleep) does grandfathered have to do with a perpetual corporation with personhood. What a sham!

Replace summer boredom with plenty of summer fun!
Summer is fast approaching, but that doesn't mean your kids should stop learning.
According to the National Summer Learning Association, kids not involved in meaningful summer activities lose learning skills.
Harris Cooper, professor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, estimates that summer learning loss for all students equals about one month on a grade-level equivalent scale in all subjects, and 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in math.

French Cafe to Open Soon
While making our regular grocery shop at Safeway this week, we noticed this signage at 450 K St. NW for a new French cafe, L'Hommage Bistro. We couldn't find a dedicated web site, but previous reporting around the Web notes that the concept is from the owner of Alba Osteria, Hakan Ihlan, and will be a full-service and carry-out French bistro and bakery. We look forward to sharing more about the anticipated opening date soon.
Georgetown Valet Dry Cleaners Coming To Penn Quarter (614 E St NW)
The Georgetown Valet dry cleaners put up a "Coming Soon" banner announcing their intent to occupy 614 E St NW where Bo Dogs hot dogs used to be. This will be the third tenant for the space having been the Potato Valley Cafe before Bo Dogs which closed in August of 2014.
This will undoubtedly be competition for the other dry cleaner close by, Market Square Cleaners. Wash.io also sprouted in the Washington area recently as an on demand dry cleaning service. Three dry cleaning options means more choice for residents and workers alike!
Jetties Sandwiches Grand Opening In Penn Quarter On April 4! (701 8th St NW)
Jetties, the sandwich shop that got its start on Foxhall Road in the Foxhall Village neighborhood, posted signage in the former 1791 DC Deli space on 8th Street (701 8th St NW) and its grand opening will be on April 4. 1791 DC Deli opened in August of 2006 and closed in July of 2014. This address is on the ground floor of the same building that plays host to Proof Restaurant which is on the corner of 8th and G Street.
Jetties has five locations currently and offers sandwiches, salads, and ice cream. Menus vary by location but the Foxhall location's menu can be viewed here.
Jetties grand opening will be on Saturday, April 4 and the first 100 customers will get a free Nobadeer sandwich (per their Facebook page). Sounds delicious to us!
The Royals
Brits and Anglophiles alike are donning their best fascinators this week as Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall visit DC. Aside from a White House meeting, several stops in the PQ neighborhood are included in the itinerary – the National Archives, the Shakespeare Theatre Company, and the Hay Adams Hotel. Be prepared for traffic delays, but if you've got the time, step out to the streets and practice your best curtsy and bow!
Masonic Temple Chronicled By Streets Of Washington (9th And F St)
One of our favorite DC historical websites, Streets of Washington, provides the full run down on the history of the Masonic Temple on the northwest corner of 9th and F Streets NW. It's one of the older surviving buildings in the downtown/Penn Quarter neighborhood and it remains in mint condition. We call it an anchor building because it can be readily identified in historic photos of the neighborhood. The building currently has a McCormick and Schmick's (901 F St NW) restaurant on the ground floor.

With a small, steady stream of smoke emerging from the mountains in the distance before them, fire officials briefed the press and public at noon on Wednesday with the latest on the Jesusita Fire, which, in the four hours since the last update, hadn't progressed much at all. But by about 2:45 p.m., thick brown clouds of smoke were again floating over Santa Barbara, with orange flames visible from downtown.
"It's taking off pretty good," said Independent correspondent Ray Ford, who spent the morning with hand crews on the fire's west end but had moved to Inspiration Point in the afternoon. "The wind is blowing uphill, there's heat, there's a lot of activity. It's a good possibility that this could head uphill pretty good."
Meanwhile, a mobile home caught fire near State Street, sending another column of smoke into the sky, igniting nearby brush, and causing some to wonder if it had any relation to the Jesusita Fire. Authorities were working to close the State Street off-ramp at the time of this posting.

The afternoon ignition of the Jesusita Fire is no surprise. Officials at the noon Earl Warren Showgrounds press conference were wary that the winds would pick up, and no one listening in the 90 degree heat had to be told it was hot out. Winds are supposed to reach gusts of 60 miles per hour, while the relative humidity is already in the teens, a level considerably less than ideal.
But even as potential danger looms, the good news continues to come in. Most importantly, it was a calm night with low winds. As is usual for the beginning of the traditional fire season, the brush is still moist. And despite competition from a fire in Arizona, fire officials here in town thus far have not been denied the resources they're requesting. There are currently five helicopters making water drops and six fixed-wing tankers dropping fire retardant on the area. In addition, as of roughly 11 a.m., the Santa Maria Airport is now set up to handle refueling and reloading retardant-dropping tankers on the fire.

Here are more Paul Wellman shots from the Jesusita Fire.
That means the six tankers can get back and forth in just around 30 minutes, not including the time it takes to pump another load of fire retardant. Yesterday, there were two tankers flying to and from Portersville, which is closer to two hours round trip. The number of tanker trips made yesterday as opposed to today was not available, but is obviously considerably larger.
While earlier news suggested increased retardant drops from the air could be making a greater difference, city fire Battalion Chief Pat McElroy said air support had been more than adequate. The air attack is obviously helpful, he said, but the battle will be won on the ground. The men and women in the hand crews on the ground will be the ones that make the difference. There are currently 884 firefighting personnel working on the blaze, and the organized combat is taking shape.

As of this morning, hand crews were on the front lines, battling the fire. "We are engaging where we can engage," McElroy said, explaining it was difficult to get hand crews close to the fire yesterday and this morning with potential wind shifts causing safety concerns. Engine strike teams continue to do preparation for structure defense.
There has been one fire-related injury, though minor. No other information was available.
Sheriff Bill Brown expects the current evacuation orders in place to remain at least through the end of today, and vehicular access remains restricted. More than 2,000 reverse 911 calls went out yesterday, and 1,200 homes remain evacuated. No structures are damaged or destroyed, and the fire remains about a half-mile from doing damage to any buildings.
A new command established by Cal Fire is expected to take over at 6 p.m., and there is a possibility that the governor could declare a state of emergency.

Back at the frontlines, Ray Ford explained that the fire seems to have split above Seven Falls. Instead of heading toward town, it seems to be blazing up the ridge toward Cathedral Peak on the other side of that popular hiking area. He reports that tankers had been "hammering all day long." It had been relatively mild up to about 2:30 p.m., said Ford, who also met with investigators looking at the start of the fire just off Jesusita Trail. There is no transformer in the area, said Ford, knocking down one theory. He also said that the notion of a Vandenberg-launched rocket causing the fire also was considered unlikely by all. "I don't know what people are thinking about rockets and transformers," said Ford. "It clearly started on the trail."

Table top fountain leaks
mrsgymAugust 8, 2010
I originally posted this on the home forum, and someone suggested here. So here goes. I have a slate table top fountain, and the base has started to leak. I figured out where the leak is, and I dried out the base and caulked it with 100% silicone. It only lasted a few days, then it started leaking again. I tried plumbers putty, and that didn't do a thing. Do you have any recommendations? I'm throwing money out the window faster than I can bring it in.
I had just replaced the pump before it started to leak, so I really hate to toss it. I appreciate your help.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Book 7, Chapter 39 Summary
- Finally, Tristram heads to Lippius's clock, which it turns out doesn't even work. So he speeds off to look at the Chinese manuscripts, where it turns out the Jesuits (to whom the manuscripts belong) are all sick (this is a joke—they've been banned in France since 1762).

A spring in the seat belt buckle may wear or fail, causing the airbag light on the instrument panel to illuminate. Failed buckles will require replacement.
Coolant Leak and/or Engine Overheating Due to Cracked Intake Manifold
The composite (plastic) intake manifold may crack near the thermostat housing and cause a coolant leak. Ford released an updated manifold that was reinforced to prevent a recurrence. No recall was issued for this problem but Ford did extend the warranty to seven years on some models from the date of purchase.
Heater Hose Outlet May Leak Coolant at Back of Intake Manifold
The heater hose outlet may leak coolant at the back of the intake manifold. Sometimes this is misdiagnosed as a leaking intake manifold gasket because it resembles a leaking manifold.

b) Where are installed applications? I installed the game Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, as installed applications, but did not appear in the menu shortcut to the game. So I wanted to find a path where applications are installed (if it is installed in phone memory, not SD).
c) And a question related to the other, where there is a folder with the shortcuts that appear in the menu to go and earn some extra money some of his own as the same after the installation does not create?
d) The question as to the shell ADW Launcher. Very cool great job, but it disappeared from the menu button (16 small squares) and do not know how to enter the menu. Do I have to restart the system and enable standard launcher ... How to make a shortcut to the menu in the ADW Launcher?

I disassembled the phone to see if the speaker pin got moved or something (the phone feel from the bed to the ground, but softly, nice long bed sheets saved him) but nothing.
Right now I am going back stock just to see if something happened "in the way of heaven" but I don´t believe that rooting just took the audio, I mean, could it be? or even unlocking the boot loader (from what I readed on the disclaimer about it on the motorola page).
Could it be hardware issue or software? I just want some peace for my mind.
