Fish begin move to winter locations on area lakes
The fall cool-down continues in the Bemidji area with surface water temperatures in most lakes dropping into the 50s this past week.
The water temperature is one of the biggest factors in determining what the fish are doing at any time of the year. The temperature also can help anglers determine what seasonal patterns should be in effect in the lakes and rivers they are fishing.

I've got three batches of wine that are about 6 months old but seem to be stalled...
1 gallon Red Current 8/14 - Montrachet yeast, SG 1.130 12-16 reading 1.042, 3/2 reading 1.036
1 gallon Gooseberry Apple 8/14 - Montrachet yeast, SG 1.24, 12-16 reading 1.032, 3-2 reading 1.030
3 gallon Rhubarb 8/24 - Champagne yeast, SG 1.118, 12-16 reading 1.018, 3/2 reading 1.016
They don't seem to be finishing. Where did I go wrong and what do I do now?
I tried some of it and while it tastes good it's sweet. I've got a 5 gallon batch of apple wine that is about done that I could mix with if needed.
With an OG of over 1.100, you may have overwhelmed the yeast right at the start. Most of my wines start at 1.085-1.100 for a 12-13% ABV wine.
The rhubarb should have finished lower, at least, though. Do you have optimum fermentation (warm enough) conditions?
If you don't like sweet wine, start with lower SG the first and second wines are at almost 13% abv. The third is almost 14%abv. There not stuck. their finished
I was wondering if it had to do with to high of a SG. Unfortunately I weighed the recommended sugar out and added it - now I'll know to just add the sugar to the recommend SG and not worry about measuring it.
They are on top of the fridge and we keep the house between 64-68 in the winter so I think they have been o.k. temp wise.
Do I just drink sweet wine, mix it with the apple that finished completely out, or add more yeast to it to get it finished?
I learn something new everytime...now I know how to make a sweet wine. *sigh* not what I had intended on this batch. Do you know if they will taste sweeter when cooled or less sweet? I thought the taste of the gooseberry was nice but a tad sweet...if chilling it took a bit of the edge off I might just leave that one as it is. I'll have to taste the others to see what I think....
So would you just go ahead and bottle right now or mix with the apple that I have that has finished. I've also got a chokecherry that will finish in about a month or so that I could mix with. Any ideas? Is mixing even recommended?
Start another batch and blend, if you add yeast it will have to be a high abv tolerant yeast and you will end up with rocket fuel
If the wine is not perfectly clear, like read a newspaper through it clear, then it's not ready to bottle.

Sexton nearing Leinster return
ESPN Staff
April 8, 2013
Jonathan Sexton could face Munster this weekend © Getty Images
Leinster's fly-half Jonathan Sexton could make his return from injury against Munster on Saturday.
The news is likely to interest British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland with Sexton widely regarded to be in the running to feature for the tourists against the Wallabies this summer.
Sexton has been out of action since Ireland's Six Nations round two match against England in February during which he suffered a hamstring injury.
Ireland hoped that Sexton would play some part in the championship but he then suffered a tendon tear in his foot during training. This prolonged his time on the sidelines but Leinster claim that he has "stepped up his rehabilitation in recent days" and is in the mix to face Munster, who booked their place in the Heineken Cup semi-finals with a commanding win over Harlequins on Sunday, this weekend.
Centre Brian O'Driscoll is also available with his suspension for stamping while on Six Nations duty now at an end.

Guitar is an essential instrument for understanding how music works. Plus, with knowledge of just a few chords, you'll be able to write your own songs!
Having been a musician his whole life, and a bassist since the time he was 15 years old, Kyle elected to attend Berklee College of Music on partial scholarship after graduating high school. This allowed him the opportunity to study with the likes of Whit Browne and Anthony Vitti. Summer breaks from school allowed Kyle to complete professional contracts as a working bass player, including playing in Hersheypark's "Frontier Frenzy" (2010), Holland America Cruiseline's "The Neptunes" (2011), and Boston's "The Honeymooners" (2012). After graduating Berklee Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Music Education (December 2012), Kyle decided to move from his childhood home in Connecticut to Nashville, TN to further his career as a bassist and teacher. Once he arrived in Nashville, he was immediately
Hello! I believe that music is something everyone can do: it can be played alone or in pairs (and trios, quartets,etc). Playing music is extremely rewarding. It's about discovering your potential, and having fun doing it! Having played music for 25 years, and teaching for 12, I have experience as a performer, composer, and producer. I grew up playing cello before switching to guitar, and graduated from New England Conservatory of Music with a BA in jazz performance. Most recently, I moved to Nashville where I am currently training to be a Registered Piano Technician. *** Lesson Details *** I offer a wide pallet of musical options. Whether teaching guitar, piano, bass, violin, or cello, I aim to provide a well rounded approach to the performance and understanding of music. ...
We start with the basics, keep it simple, and develop all parts of your musicianship while having fun! Fretboard knowledge, improvisation, and music theory are later used to expand on these fundamentals and take it as far as you would like to go.
Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Slide Guitar.
Learn Blues, Rock, Jazz, and Country!
An Ohio native, I began playing guitar when I was 6 and came from a musical family. I am an active performer, producer, and composer. My goal as a teacher is to foster a lifelong interest in music and give my students the tools they need to develop their art. If you want to get the most out of your practice time and build a solid foundation on which you can continually develop, a great teacher can accelerate your development and get you where you want to be. If you are a beginner or even a seasoned player looking to advance your playing, knowing which direction to go and how to continue developing can be a challenge. Methods are many, principals are few. Understanding how music works will allow you to become your own teacher in the long run and that is my goal with all of my students.
I teach guitar to beginners with an emphasis on basic theory, chord structure, and songwriting/playing.
Hello! I'm Jamie, and I love music! I started teaching drum lessons to kids around my neighborhood when I was in high school, and have kept doing so on-and-off for the past several years. I like to focus on giving each student a strong understanding of the basics of drums and drum set playing (theory, notation, rhythm, grooves, beats, etc.), and play to each students strengths and interests. I like to think of my self as a big, bearded man-child, so kids like me, and I like them. As for guitar, I am mostly self-taught. I took a beginner course in high school, and have been learning along the way on my own ever since. I play rhythm guitar, and I like to think that my drumming informs my guitar playing to a great extent. I am very groove-oriented, rhythm is what gets me going!
I have been teaching guitar for five years.
By the end of their first lesson, the student will be able to play a song off of paper.
I believe in exploration as a road to mastery, encouraging students to think about scales, music theory and technique as tools to communicate.
I teach rock, pop, blues, and ragtime, and use the students' favorite music as a jumping board.
Students are encouraged to write songs, make albums, and perform as a part of my curriculum.
Hi! My name is Georgia E. I have been teaching private lessons for the past five years in Boston, and have recently relocated to Nashville. I went to Berklee College of Music with a degree in Songwriting and teach voice, guitar, bass, music theory, and songwriting. I have enjoyed watching my young students go from beginners to advanced musicians in their age groups, write songs, and thrive in performances. I believe in exploration as a road to mastery, and as such, much of my lessons revolve around age and skill appropriate projects that I coach the students through. These have included all-original albums, recordings of covers, recitals, and student-planned concerts. My approach is to empower young students, and show them the joy and focus that goes into making music.

What Are the Treatments for Horse Lice?
Lice on horses comes in two different forms: blood sucking and chewing. The first sucks the blood of a horse for food, while the latter will chew a horse's skin. Both of these horse lice cause great discomfort and itching for a horse to the point where the horse rubs himself excessively. For information on treatments for equine lice, see the following guide.
The Symptoms of Lice on Horses
Signs of equine lice include:
• Bald patches on the tail, face, mane from scratching
• A scruffy coat
• Wounds from severe scratching and rubbing
• Anaemia (in serious undetected cases)
Treat Horse Lice
To treat lice on horses you can use powders or shampoos that are designed just for horses. Powders need to be applied to the whole body and rubbed into the skin. Shampoos normally have to be used for a few days.
Prevent Horse Lice
To reduce the chances of your horse becoming a horse lice victim you should keep him well groomed all the time. Ensure he is nourished properly and not under any stress.

Today the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) unveiled a new icon and social media campaign to educate Americans about good nutrition and health. Replacing the Food Pyramid, MyPlate has landed on tables in the form of a dinner plate divided into four pie slices. Vegetables and grains make up the two larger quadrants, while protein and fruits make up the difference. Dairy occupies a glass on the side.
The pyramid shape has been used since 1992, which recommended a bottom-heavy 6–11 servings of grains; 3–5 servings of vegetables; 2–4 servings of fruit; and for dairy as well as meat and other forms of protein, 2–3 servings of each. In 2005, the pyramid became MyPyramid, an updated logo described diplomatically by Michael Bierut as "well-intentioned but dysfunctional" (his essay "Me and MyPyramid" on Design Observer is a must-read).
MyPlate is far simpler to digest than MyPyramid was, and the plate is already somewhat ubiquitous as a symbol for what to eat (nutritionist Marion Nestle wrote on her Food Politics blog about plate graphics used by the American Diabetes Association and others), so it should easily be accepted by the public. Exactly how much of each food type should be a part of each meal is not entirely clear from MyPlate, but vegetables play a greater role now, and each section is meant to suggest the ratio of food group on the plate, not actual portion size. As reported by the Associated Press, MyPlate is "designed to be
'more artistic and attractive' and to serve as a visual
cue for diners, said Robert Post of the Agriculture Department's Center
for Nutrition Policy and Promotion." Updated nutritional guidelines were announced in January, so the food icon redesign is the next step in addressing obesity at the national level.
So far, what do designers think of the new symbol? On Twitter @chrisfahey commented: "New http://choosemyplate.gov could be better. Protein should be red. Fruits + veggies should be analogous
colors (green + orange or yellow)." To that @empressgui responded: "It's a step in the right direction, but agree. It also doesn't address
The New York Times reported that more than $2 million has already spent on the design and development of this new campaign, and we hope to report more on that process here. In the meantime, what do you think of it?

New services may include cell phone charging stations and touch screens that provide information or facilitate business transactions.

Instead of "free WiFi", how about calling it "WiFi that somebody else is paying for with no immediately obvious direct costs to consumers in order to boost public opinion for political reasons"? Too long?
Why, mostly the 1% of course.
Its a known fact that many families are deprived of internet services because they simply cannot afford it. This situation will get worse since Verizon seems intent on forcing its customers off wired telephone lines and onto either FIOS or cell phone service. In this modern world lack of internet service deprives children of educational opportunities. Thus free wi-fi service for home pc's and telephones should be made available to everyone so that poor children and minority children will have the same educational opportunities as everyone else.

January 1, 2015 - Great quality and color!!!
December 31, 2014 - For the price, I thought this would probably be a silly, cheap throw-away, but it looked cute, so I bought it anyway. I Love this! I got the multicolor, and it is a very tasteful addition to my regular bangles.
September 15, 2014 - I like this bracelet, but I do think it might look better to layer them as opposed to wearing only 1
January 6, 2014 - Very happy with this unique bracelet. I was also happy that it said it was Made by 'Ben', as that is my nephews name :)

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our house is your vacation home. Luxury family vacation home, located in a residential neighborhood in beautiful Southwest Cape Coral, the 'Venice of America'! You'll find this fabulous 3 bedroom, 2 full bath paradise with all the comforts of home away from home. This home sleeps 8 comfortably, with 3 bedrooms and a queen sofa bed. The home is equipped with multiple tv's with dish connectivity, pool with a lanai, a/c, ceiling fans for days with a beautiful cross wind, security system, 2 refrigerators, oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer and dryer and many more features.
The six of us go away every fall. This time we decided to stay in this rental home.
It was beautiful !!..everything you need, beautiful built in pool with a flat screen TV in the outdoor patio area!! As well as several in the house
The rooms/bedrooms were big and decorated so nicely. However more importantly it was CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN . Easy to get to Captiva and Sanibel Island with plenty of great restaurants and beaches nearby..definitely would stay here again. Loved the outside large patio next to the pool !!!
Thank you !!!
We chose this property to be close to family living in Cape Coral. The location worked great for us. The owners were responsive and caring when we had questions or issues with booking, check-in or during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house had plenty of space for everyone, great technology and updated appliances made it easy to cook and entertain family. The children's playroom was fantastic when we had the grandkids over. So close to Carraba's and Bonefish too!!
The Good: Large home and nicely furnished. Some vacation rentals have hideous furnishings and this one did NOT thankfully. Large flat screen TV with HD cable was a nice feature. Good size living room looking out at the Pool area and nice kitchen that was completely stocked. Pool was a good size and they had multiple floats. Master Bedroom had a large bathroom with separate tub and shower with sliding glass doors out to patio. Plenty of towels and linen as well. Big Garage could easily fit 2 cars and had lots of beach stuff. Quiet location which is what we were looking for since we live in Downtown Miami. New restaurant "Dante's Coal Fired Pizza" is a few minutes away with excellent pizza as well as a Bonefish Grill next door.
The Bad: Communication from the owner wasn't good. We had asked for late check out and thought it was confirmed but never received anything in writing. We received an email from the owner the night before and we responded immediately about our check time and what needed to be washed but didn't get a response. We emailed again an hour later and nothing. In the morning we called & text'd but no response so we had to leave around 11AM instead of the 5PM that was originally discussed. We received texts as we were leaving sadly. The home has Well water so for some, it could be a shock at first as the water has an odor that you get use to. The WasherDryer has to be run with vinegar first so we decided not to wash clothes. The pool area looks right into the next door neighbor as well as cars driving by on the road so its not as private as we were hoping. Little gnats/bugs get in the pool and on the equipment so both days i had to try and clean out the pool as they kept sticking to us while swimming. The pool cleaner thing was running the whole time so we kept hitting it on our floats. I wanted to just take it out of the pool but didn't want to mess anything up. The location for some people might be a turn off. Its an empty road with a few houses so its not a sub division or anything. The grass along the streets is super high so not good for small dog walks or anything.
Overall its a very nice house with a pool in a quiet area. We wanted a relaxing getaway from Miami and that's what we received. One day we stayed home the entire day in our PJs or bathing suit which is something we never do and was much needed, catching up on Shark Week on the big screen tv!
I would recommend!
The place had all we needed although we brought things with us. We went to Sanibel Beach and had dinners at a Japanese Restaurant nearby. Shopping was also a pleasure. We also enjoyed the covered pool and watching TV when we are back at night. I certainly would recommend this place anytime to anyone who would like to have a family quality time.
If you are looking for a place to rent in Cape Coral, this would be the one. Kristen is easy going, easy to get into contact with, friendly and a pleasure to do business with. The price was good for such a nice home, and the word nice is an understatement. It was beautiful and clean as well as homey. The pool and pool area were in constant use and thoroughly enjoyed by my family. We really hated to leave and are hoping to return next year. Thanks Kristen, for letting us use your home!
We have just returned home after a 5 week stay in this beautiful house. We loved the solar heated pool with temps ranging from low 80's to low 90's during our stay. It was wonderful to have our own private pool and we used it frequently. The grandchildren loved it.
We enjoyed the brand new patio furniture, it was the perfect size when the kids and grandkids visited. The set was so comfortable and we sat out on the lanai a lot of the time.
The kitchen was well stocked and the entire house had lots of storage. One of my favourite rooms was the walk in master closet!!
There are several grocery stores nearby and a number of restaurants and even a "Kohl's". Some of the family went on the Wicked Dolphin Rum tour which is nearby.
The Cape Coral beach was 30 min. away and Fort Myers beach and Sanibel were a 45+ min drive. We went to Bokeelia on Pine Island (25 min drive), a few times to see spectacular sunsets (no beach). We found lots of things to do, toured Edison/Ford Estates and museum, Imaginarium, a science centre geared to children, Gatorama, local Farmer's Markets, mini putt, a giant Flea Market in Fort Myers, my husband golfed, shopping for me and even went to a show with my granddaughter. We toured Naples one day and drove to Venice area another day. Found a terrific Grill and Tiki Bar on Casey Key, a fun place to have lunch.
I highly recommend a restaurant in Fort Myers called Bahama Breeze on Highway 41.
We ended up renting for an additional week than our original plans. We had a great vacation and didn't want to leave.
Kristen was very easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly and any concerns were dealt with right away.
We highly recommend this rental home.
The house was wonderful!!!! My family and I truly enjoyed the accommodations. Publix (grocery store) was a few minutes away. Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach was about a 30-45 minute drive from the house. All of the appliances were in good condition, and the pictures accurately reflected the house's appearance and amenities. Kristen was extremely easy to get in contact with and booking the house was extremely easy. The heated pool was a plus! I highly recommend this house!!!
Our house is your vacation home. Luxury family vacation home, located in a residential neighborhood in beautiful Southwest Cape Coral, the 'Venice of America'! You'll find this fabulous 3 bedroom, 2 bath, pool and lanai paradise a convenient location to beaches, boating, shopping restaurants and the Gulf of Mexico. We are located approximately 30 minutes from the Southwest Florida airport (RSW) and Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins Spring training facilities in Fort Myers. Cape Coral is close to magnificent Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Fort Myers Beach, and the artist colony at Matlacha. Nearby family tourist attractions include the Sun Splash water park in Cape Coral and Florida's famous Disneyworld and Sea World can be reached within 3 hours via Interstates 75 and 4. Close-by shopping conveniences features a variety of Supercenters, department stores and many restaurants.

Hoya Nicholsoniae
puglvr1(9b central FL)March 27, 2010
Does anyone know if this hoya is an early bloomer or more of "hardly" blooms hoya? I have one from Gardino's and its doing well...lots of reddish leaves so I know its getting plenty of light...is there such a thing as too much light with this hoya? I was wondering if anyone has had good luck getting this one to bloom for them? I'm not complaining as I did get this one for the pretty leaves...but the plant sure looks mature enough to bloom. Also the roots looks pretty snug in the pot...I wonder if I should repot it to a bigger size? Thanks for any tips/suggestions.

creative snack
Posted by Sheila Shayon on August 20, 2013 11:49 AM
The Seattle Police Department may just be the most clever—and coolest—bunch of law enforcers out there. The rain-soaked city recently celebrated Hempfest, the largest marijuana festival in the world, and instead of raining on the parade with pot-safety pamphlets and a hard-as-nails attitude, the department cooked up a pretty awesome, stoner-approved plan.
Dubbed #OperationOrangeFingers, the department handed out snack bags of Doritos adorned with stickers that featured a short list of reminders for marijuana enthusiasts, including: "Don't drive while high"; "Don't give, sell, or shotgun weed to people under 21"; and "Do listen to Dark Side of the Moon at a reasonable volume." The sticker also included a URL with information on the state's new laws regarding recreational marijuana use.Continue reading...

Has Taco Bell played out the Doritos Locos Tacos space? The Yum! Brands fast-feeder will soon see as it has just announced the third installment in its wildly successful co-branded campaign.
Taco Bell announced that its Fiery "DLT" will be officially available nationwide next Thursday, with a marketing campaign following soon. It's the next step in the company's campaign to build on the huge success of the first flavor of the popular Doritos Locos Taco when it came out last year, Nacho Cheese, and the Cool Ranch flavor that Taco Bell revealed earlier this year. The brand will be offering taste tests through social media, and will make the new taco available early on August 19—a move that didn't go so well during the Cool Ranch launch.
The chain already has sold more than 500 million DLTs in total, almost single-handedly energizing its results over the last 17 months, so the next flavor will be crucial. And for the first time, Taco Bell chose not to borrow an exact flavor profile and product name directly from a chip already marketed by PepsiCo's Doritos brand.Continue reading...

PepsiCo is riding high on snacks and trying not to be brought low by its soft-drink business. But that doesn't mean the company is accepting the logic behind activist investor Nelson Peltz's attempts to get PepsiCo to spin off beverages and buy snack-happy Mondelez International.
Second-quarter food revenue in the Americas grew by 5 percent for PepsiCo while beverage revenues slumped by another 2 percent. Brands including Doritos and Tostitos, by Frito-Lay, drove PepsiCo's overall domestic growth, while its European business only chugged along and revenues in Asia, Africa and the Middle East combined, both beverages and food, grew by 6 percent.
Also, more evidence surfaced this week to bolster concerns recently expressed by PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi about the future of artificial sweeteners in beverages. Larry Young, CEO of Dr Pepper Snapple, agreed in a conference call that consumers "have concerns about artificial sweeteners." His company has lowered its sales outlook for the year.Continue reading...

Oreos, Fritos, Doritos, Cadbury, Trident and Sunchips all on the same truck as they head to the supermarket? That's a vision of a highly symbiotic, cost-efficient brand and product portfolio and distribution scheme, if you ask Nelson Peltz. He'll be happy to see some other distributor getting the Pepsi into the beverage aisle and the Naked Juice into the refrigerators in the produce department.
That's part of the scenario being sketched by activist investor Nelson Peltz as he presses PepsiCo to spin off its uneven drinks business, then purchase Mondelez International so the two snack giants can combine their stables of diverse and powerful brands both in the US and international arenas. Such a global snack giant would have $70 billion in combined revenue and 17 snack brands that each has more than $1 billion in retail sales.
Peltz said at a recent conference that PepsiCo is at "a crossroads" with a beverage business that was losing market share in soft drinks to CocaCola and to which PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has only recently—and seemingly grudgingly—given more marketing support.Continue reading...

If love is the universal language, snacks may be the universal food. And that's one reason the spinoff of Mondelez International from Kraft Foods last year looks more and more like a good move, at least for Mondelez and its shareholders.
Mondelez's portfolio of global snack brands—ranging from Oreo to Cadbury to Trident—relies on emerging markets for about 40 percent of its revenue right now, and by 2020 the company projects that 110 million households in India, Russia and Brazil will move into the middle class, the socioeconomic stratum where serious snacking begins in most markets because consumers have achieved the economic wherewithal for recreational eating.
"As they do, we believe they'll step up their chocolate consumption by about three times," Bharat Puri, Mondelez's senior vice president of global chocolate, told analysts recently, according to Advertising Age.Continue reading...

Pepsi took YouTube by storm last month according to Google's YouTube Ads leaderboard. The brand is benefitting from its latest viral branded content hit "Test Drive", which has over 33 million views.
The video, which is the brand's second attempt on a spoof video, garnered more plays than any of 2012's leaderboard ads, earning 13 million more views than 2012's top performer, Nike's "My Time Is Now."
Samsung made the chart twice in March with its Galaxy S4 launch, while newcomers EA Sports, Adidas, ConAgra, ESPN, Doritos and the Anti-Defamation League's "Imagine a World Without Hate" video, (the first non-profit to be so feted) all made it as well.Continue reading...

A little over a year ago, Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Tacos hit the market. There was no way to predict that the new menu item would become a phenomenon of sorts—selling one million per day last year. Neither Taco Bell or FritoLay, Doritos' parent company, could let the potential of massive sales slip from their fingers, so they did it again, launching a Cool Ranch version earlier this month to much fanfare.
The launch created a nationwide spectacle as ravenous consumers scoured local Taco Bell locations for the updated version, which the company teased with an 'early release' (which ended up backfiring). Unaffected, the actual launch went off without a hitch, with millions of customers walking away finger-licking happy. "Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos have been one of the most anticipated new menu items we've launched, and will be the biggest in our company history," says Rob Poetsch, a Taco Bell spokesman, in an email to MSN. "We're pleased with the overwhelmingly positive reaction from our fans, in fact, we've seen twice as many social media conversations in the first few days we launched."Continue reading...

City mulling new ordinances to match growth
Published: August 30,2012
Tags: city, digging, growth, law, municipal government, municipality, ordinance, population, regulation, trenching
OXFORD — As Oxford continues to grow, so does the demand for the availability of telecommunications for its citizens, which is why some new city ordinances are about to be adopted.
For instance, to ensure the city maintains control of work performed within the city rights of way, the Oxford Board of Aldermen is considering several changes and additions to some local ordinances.
If passed, a new ordinance will require contractors to get a permit before they can excavate, trench or bore in or under city rights of way. Any cuts in the street are to be repaired. A bond will be required and will be used to repair any damage caused by the permit holder if they fail to complete the work.
"This ensures the work will be completed properly," City Engineer Bart Robinson said.
The trenching ordinance also requires companies to work together and coordinate their projects so there aren't multiple cuts or disruptions to the street.
"The public works director has the right to refuse to allow work in an area where similar work has been performed within the past five years, with some exceptions for emergencies," Robinson said.
Robinson said recent incidents have occurred that illustrate why this new law is needed. For example, telecommunication lines have been put in and the road has been fixed and repaved. and then another company requests to dig it up as little as six months later.
"We have also had instances where a section of roadway is essentially a construction work zone for an extended period because multiple utilities request to install lines one after the other," he said.
A second ordinance would require another permit before a telecommunications company can install utilities on public rights of way and require them to pay a quarterly fee of 2 percent of gross receipts for access to, and use from, the rights of way.
"This fee will basically be charged on any profit that they make from lines placed on public rights of way," Robinson said.
In the ordinance, AT&T and Metrocast would be excluded from these requirements because they already have state law and city franchise agreements in place that allow them to use the rights of way.
The final reading when the Oxford Board of Aldermen will vote to either approve or deny the new ordinances will be held Sept. 4. A public hearing was held this past week at a board of aldermen meeting. No one from the public commented on the proposed ordinance changes.
With more people living, working and going to school in the Oxford area, more parking spaces are needed to accommodate them. The city recently entered into a contract to purchase land next to the current city lot behind the Vieux Carré development that will provide about 100 new parking spaces.
A separate ordinance being considered by the aldermen would allow residential and commercial parking lots to create compact-car spaces, which are smaller in size.
Currently, residential districts are allowed to create parking spaces that are 8 feet, 6 inches wide and 18 feet long. In commercial areas, parking spaces are required to be 9 feet wide and 18 feet long.
If approved, the new ordinance would allow residential and commercial areas to build the smaller spaces for more compact cars at 8 feet wide and 16 feet long.
Compact-car spaces shall not be allowed to exceed 10 percent of the total number of spaces in the parking lot. Handicap spaces shall continue to be provided as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Robinson said the city will build several compact spaces in future parking lots when needed.
"The city will work to maximize the number of parking spaces to best serve the needs of Oxford," he said.

Landshapes announce new album 'Heyoon'
The Line of Best Fit have premiered new track 'Stay':
Lost practices, hidden worlds, secret topics – Landshapes shift around the dark, magical borders of alternative culture, soaking up poetry and peccadillos, high art and low desires.
On their second album Heyoon, released on Bella Union on May 4th, Landshapes explore everything from a 17th Century tale about migratory space geese; tragic Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader who died on a failed Atlantic crossing, the desire to inhabit another's psyche and nights out at drag bars. With Landshapes, anything could happen.
Previously Lulu And The Lampshades, 2012 saw them accrue a wealth of guitar pedals, a fascination for mind-expanding noise and, following a mis-billing in Paris, a new name: Landshapes.
2013 debut Landshapes album Rambutan was a voyage of discovery as they hunted out this elusive new soundscape. Electronics clashed with traditional shanties, eastern atmospherics met spaghetti western overtones, nothing was out-of-bounds.
Described by one reviewer as "conjuring up images of twisted Tim Burton nighttime fairgrounds where all the rides are manned by Tom Waits", it combined art, folk, psychedelia and math-rock in a beguiling morass of ominous strings, oddball found-sounds and insidious melody.
The band were still mapping Landshapes though. Over the next year of intense rehearsals and live outings – including CMJ, Green Man and End Of The Road, they honed the self-professed "unleashed and loud" sound into a focused tornado.
They worked with an open palate and freeform approach. "Making patterns, moods, and noises, enjoying conflicts of sound that can be explored and then resolved." Key to this development was a fortnight spent in a cottage in the woods of Cornwall in September 2014
"Something about all that fresh air, sea, and woods and fire manifested in something much darker and much more menacing than anything we'd written so far," Luisa explains. "That's when it felt like we'd started the album."
After road testing the new material and earning all-female mosh-pits in the process, the band hit Soup Studios in Limehouse with producers Giles Barrett and David Holmes. Here two more songs came together including lead single Moongee, a masterpiece of hallucinatory sludge rock inspired by interplanetary wildfowl, a tale by 17th century Bishop Francis Godwin recently re-imagined by artist Agnes Meyer Brandis.
The resulting album Heyoon is astounding, both sonically and thematically. If you want to take the highbrow road through this dense maelstrom of psychedelic math-fuzz beauty, then focus on the lustrous, unsettling lounge drone of Fire. A reflection of a Lydia Davis story called Forbidden Subjects, the track documents a post-break up friendship. "Conversations are so barbed and loaded, it's the fire of conflict but also the memory of the fire of chemistry."
There's a rich seam of break-up philosophy running through Heyoon. The Lynchian torch-gaze of Red Kite concerns "still feeling deeply affected by a past relationship, but putting that neatly, and tenderly in a box so that you can move on."
The untamed, carnival-whirling pop of Ader recalls tragic visual artist Bas Jan Ader, whose work still remains unexplained following his death in a little sailboat, alone on the Atlantic. "People have speculated over what he's sad about," adds Luisa. "That it could be the absolute loneliness of all humans and that you can never completely know another person."
Wallow in the bass-fuelled end of Heyoon and you'll embrace the stampeding thunk-punk of opener Stay, a booty-call set to music that shape-shifts into a post-orgasmic bliss dream in its second half. Then there's the sultry Gallic trembles of Francois, a courage song exploring gender with luring verses coaxing someone to go out, go to a party and be themselves.
Brooding, beautiful, haunted and occasionally barbarous, Heyoon is a record about secret, hidden things, right down to it's title, a mispronunciation of a secret pavilion hidden in the woods of south-east Michigan, near Ann Arbor.
"These two guys built this weird structure, kind of a pavilion, on one of their properties, hidden in a clearing in the woods. The story goes that teenagers stumbled across it and it became a place people would escape to. Young teens looking for somewhere to hang out, somewhere just to smoke and drink and do all that stuff, a temple of firsts. You can only find it if somebody takes you there who already knows it. It's a beautiful story, although we're probably doing something blasphemous, because it's a secret, calling our album that."
Landshapes: climb inside and explore.

Listen: Hannah Cohen – "Fake It"
With her sublime second album Pleasure Boy due for release 30th March on Bella Union, HANNAH COHEN has just announced news of London headline show at Corsica Studios to begin a European tour.
Thursday 26 March – LONDON – Corsica Studios tickets
Hannah has also just unveiled a new track "Fake It" from the album which can be heard here…
Music often comes from a deep place, and in the case of Hannah Cohen's stunning and heartrending second album, it's very deep indeed. Mainly inspired by a painful break-up and the anxieties that loss can trigger, Pleasure Boy cushions its sadness in an exquisitely nuanced soundscape of aching melancholy and lush melody where Hannah's vocal conveys all the different shades of heartbreak. Following the album's completion, she's survived the calamity and found a new level of happiness, but to paraphrase the classic Sixties hit, there will always be something there to remind her with Pleasure Boy.
'Pleasure Boy', like her debut 'Child Bride', was produced by Thomas Bartlett, aka Doveman, whose work with artists such as The National, Antony Hegarty and David Byrne singles him out as one of America's current finest producers and collaborators, though he's also a talented pianist. The dynamics of 'Pleasure Boy' was the result of Hannah and Bartlett, "bunkering down with my songs, experimenting with different tones and sounds, and layering them. My first record was so airy and roomy, I didn't have patience for that again, I wanted more movement, something more mysterious and witchier, so we created this sound wall together."
Pleasure Boy will be released 30th March on Bella Union.
Watch: Landshapes – Moongee
Premiered over on HUH you can watch the new video for Landshapes' Moongee below… and catch them live this Thursday, next Thursday, or the one after at their residency at Total Refreshment Center.
Peter Broderick announces new album Colours Of The Night
Colours Of The Night, Peter Broderick's first full-length for Bella Union in three years, had a rather odd conception to say the least. The American born multi-instrumentalist and songwriter went along for the ride when invited for a so-called "recording residency" in the small town of Lucerne, Switzerland.
Through several memorable concert evenings in the town on various tours, he developed a friendship with some of the locals, who eventually got the idea of inviting Broderick to be a guest of the city for three weeks while recording an album with a backing band of local musicians. All of which was to take place in the studio of Timo Keller, a local producer and engineer known primarily for his involvement in the Swiss hip-hop scene. The album's enticing opening track, 'Red Earth', is streaming here:
Rewind a few years, back to 2012, which saw the release of Broderick's last album for Bella Union, the ambitious http://www.itstartshear.com, recorded over the course of three years by Berlin's producer/pianist extraordinaire Nils Frahm. After spending all that time in the studio, working and reworking to the point of exhaustion, Broderick struggled with the idea of recreating the album on stage, and eventually cancelled all tour plans, ending up in the hospital with a stress-born illness. Struggling to stay healthy and lacking the energy to carry on, Broderick returned to his his native Oregon, where he took a much needed break and slowly started rebuilding his approach toward music and life in general.
At this time of respite came the offer from Lucerne. Having always taken pride in playing all of the instruments himself, without anything in the way of a proper rhythm section, Broderick found the idea of working with a backing band intriguing and refreshing. And refreshing it proved! "I arrived with a pile of songs and just sort of watched as they got carried through the filter of this group of musicians who were coming from an entirely different place," says Broderick. "It was exciting to let go a little bit, to simplify and consolidate my own role in the music."
Recording all the basic tracks as a live band, they quickly found a groove and lilt that carries throughout the variety of song styles. From the Afro-tinged title track and playful 'One Way', to the doo-wop swing of 'The Reconnection' and rather unclassifiable analogue/digital blend of tracks like 'Red Earth' and 'On Time', Peter Broderick's latest outing sees the well-versed musician truly embracing his surroundings, however foreign they may be, and allowing himself the freedom to be transformed by those surroundings and elevated to new heights in creative expression.
Colours Of The Night will be released 27th April on Bella Union.

Three leading anti-death penalty groups have appealed to the United Nations to freeze counter-narcotics aid to Vietnam after the country sentenced 30 people to die for drugs offences.
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The call - from Reprieve, Harm Reduction International (HRI) and the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty - cites the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) internal human rights guidance, which requires the organisation to cease support for a country if it is feared such support may facilitate executions.
The appeal follows the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland's withdrawal of aid from Iran's drug control program, fearing that such assistance could contribute to illegal executions for drugs offences in the country.
"Our organisations have, for many years, been raising concerns about UN assistance for drug enforcement in countries that continue to apply the death penalty for drug offences," the letter states. "Our concerns stem from the fact that we have demonstrated how UN Office on Drugs and Crime assistance in countries with capital drug laws has contributed to the arrests of people who have later been sentenced to death and executed."
While there is considerable secrecy around the death penalty in Vietnam, it is known that the country hands out numerous death sentences every year. The Vietnamese government admitted in a 2003 submission to the UN Human Rights Committee that 'over the last years, the death penalty has been mostly given to persons engaged in drug trafficking.' Media reports have indicated that around half of all executions are for drug-related crimes.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime aid to Vietnam is extensive and will exceed $5 million for technical assistance, equipment, training and other support. Drug control is the largest component of the country programme.
In recent years, non-governmental human rights organisations have identified people captured as a result of UN drug control assistance who were subsequently executed or sentenced to death.
The groups suggest in the letter that if law enforcement aid cannot be provided with the assurance that it will not contribute to human rights abuses, it can be redirected to health services instead.
