Judge dismisses Kmart/Kroger flooding case

CORINTH — A federal judge has dismissed Kmart Corporation's lawsuit over flood damage to one of its stores in Corinth.
U.S. District Judge Glen Davidson ruled Kmart has insufficient evidence to support its arguments that the Kroger Company store in Corinth caused the neighboring Kmart to flood.
Kmart sued the city of Corinth and Kroger Company in May 2011. Corinth was dismissed as a defendant last fall.
Kmart's lawsuit alleges a neighboring Kroger grocery was built in a floodway, and caused water to flood the Kmart store in 2010.
Kmart argued the Kroger store should have been torn down but in 2005 was allowed to remain after a flood map revision by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The two stores anchor both end of the Fulton Crossing Shopping Center in Corinth
Kmart claimed Kroger's position in a floodway caused a rise in floodwaters during a May 2010 heavy rain. The water flooded the Kmart store and caused it to close for 10 months for repairs.
The storm caused several other stores in Corinth to close, and most reopened after a few months.
Kmart was seeking compensation for the damages to the store and flood prevention efforts in April 2011 when the store was threatened again by flooding.
"Although Kmart contends that the Kroger building location and site plans were based on flawed site plans, Kmart has not presented evidence to raise a fact question," Davidson said.
Davidson also said because Kroger was leasing the building from someone else it "was not authorized to make any changes to the building to enhance Kmart's protection from flood damage."
The case's closing comes shortly after Davidson denied Kmart's request to file an amended report by its engineering expert, John Krewson of EFI Global. The original report concluded that the Kroger building caused a 1-foot rise in the floodwaters that inundated the Kmart store, but the report was later revealed to contain flawed data.

SPIDER FOREST (a.k.a. Geomi Sup, 2004) is a South Korean film that relatively took in a fair box-office take. Fortunately, from what I've gathered, the film did take in a surmountable amount in dvd sales. Directed by Il Gon-Song, "Spider Forest" is equal parts mystery, detective thriller and the supernatural. It also stars one of my favorite South Korean actresses; Jung Suh (Sometimes known as Seo Jeong), renowned for her role in Kim Ki-Duk's "The Isle", "Yellow Flower" and "Green Chair". This film is geared towards those who can appreciate good cinema, with a methodical approach that sidesteps the basic style of linear storytelling. The film has a Category III rating in Asia, which equals to NC-17 in the U.S.
Deep in the forest, a man and a woman have been brutally attacked in a cabin and left to die. Arriving too late, Kang (Gam Woo-Sung) chases the killer only to be hit by a speeding car. Barely surviving the surgery, he now finds himself a prime suspect in the double murder case. While a police investigation sets out to confirm his story, he cannot shake the feeling that there are strange gaps in his memory regarding the night in question and the killer's identity. As he tries to piece together the fragments of a bizarre dream, He crosses paths with a very beautiful and enigmatic woman named Su-jin (Jung Suh). Kang slowly begins to realize that his own nightmares may hold the key to the truth.
Not surprising that "Spider Forest" may alienate viewers used to the basic plot and twists, the film jumps around in timeline from Kang's relationship with his wife, to his investigation, to his conversations with Su-jin. What is truly amazing with the screenplay is that the film really encourages the viewer to work and take in the hidden, subtle clues and details dispersed throughout. It will probably make some folks say "I give up, the heck with this" but those who pay attention will be rewarded with a very awesome experience. The proceedings are almost "dream-like" in its execution and contains some smaller tales as well; such as "The legend of Spider Forest" which tells of restless and unloved souls who hide in this forest until they are remembered and loved again. No, the film is not about huge spiders spewing webs and devouring anyone in its path. I cannot spoil the fun for you, you will have to find out the relevance of its title for yourself.
While the killer's identity may be seen halfway through the film, and experienced viewers (like me) will no doubt figure out the mystery. What really grabbed me is the "slow reveal" that gives you tiny bits of information that lets you go by in every waking moment. "Spider Forest" isn't too much of detective work but a mystery saga that doesn't rely on the usual gruesome crap to keep you on your toes. Don't get me wrong, there is blood and gore, and for a Korean film, it does have quite a lot of sex scenes and nudity to awaken male hormones. Kang's a very likeable guy and viewers will no doubt form an attachment to him, it was very interesting to see him doubt himself and his memory of the said evening. The film's psychological aspect gives a possible scenario after possible conclusion after conclusion that causes us to argue the fact that the proceedings may be nothing more than fiction. Very nice touches, reminiscent of films like "Memento" and "Next Door".
The outstanding cinematography and visuals are what carried the film aside from its unorthodox style. There are some subtle symbols to be interpreted by the viewer (as to why Kang's wife plays mime), hidden secrets that effectively adhere to a whole. The wonderful shots of the countryside, that shifts to the impression that it may be a dream, then it grabs you by the throat with a touch of violent behavior; "sickle stabbing", anyone? The haunting music, the terrific performances by Gam Woo-Sung and the awesomely beautiful Jung Suh, all complement this film to climactic questions. The supporting cast isn't bad, either. Particularly, Kang's girlfriend (I lost her name), she exudes a certain intimidating sexiness to her character that rivals Jung Suh's erotic charisma. (Too bad, this is one film that you won't see Jung Suh in her Birthday suit)
There are a lot of questions that may arise from this film. The director somewhat relies on the film's climax to give us an idea that two separate issues did happen, is it a dream? Is it a parallel to a reality? Some viewers will be frustrated unless they paid extra attention to its entirety. It may leave some viewers scratching their heads and a bit depressed for Kang's situation.
True, South Korea may still be developing in the horror genre, and sadly, "Spider Forest" has been billed as being one. To close, the film is truly enthralling and an effective "Noirish" psychological thriller for the esoteric few (I've been using this term a lot lately) that appreciates methodical cinema. Equal parts murder mystery and the mind-boggling, it succeeds in all the areas that most psychological thrillers aspires to be but failed. It kicks the heck out of MOST Hollywood thrillers!
Highly Recommended! [4+ Stars]

Shoe was comfy to walk in but the lace material was very itchy, especially around the ankle. It also rubbed on the skin due to where it was placed on the ankle. I had to return them. Designer was on the right track but did not execute too well. Still a cute shoe if you can tolerate the rest.

Oak Desk With Typewriter Roll Out Shelf
Any help identifying the approximate age of this oak desk would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. Any ideas of a reasonable asking price range? We are "upgrading" from this one solid oak desk to two new Dania Melamine over MDF desks, and due to space constraints we need to sell it. I doubt that someone will be asking 60 years hence what the Dania desks are worth. They will have been resting in a landfill long before then. Of course by then there probably won't be landfills.
They do change hands for money, but around here people give them away too. Various iterations of the classic oak office/teacher's desk are literally a dime a dozen around here.
Not to be discouraging, but if you really want to move it, aim low.
Karin L
Thanks for the price information! Hey, I've already sold it for an outrageous price to a gentleman from Nigeria. Of course, he needed some of my personal data to fill out the cashiers check, which should be arriving any day via UPS.
A Google search found that the verbiage used by the scammer was used in hundreds of other scam attempts.
Meanwhile, my brother received an urgent message from the UK supposedly sent from our sister-in-law. She had been robbed in London, and was at the airport waiting for him to send funds for a ticket home. A phone call revealed that she was still in the USA and had never left home.
Was this after you listed it on craigslist, or just from your posting here?
A remarkable number of our friends and acquaintances have been allegedly stuck needing money too... They all send the same message :-) (for the gullible among us: NOT).

The world's top Vietnamese fashion designers came together for the first Viet Fashion Week (VFW) on Oct. 3rd at the Asian Garden Mall in Westminster, Calif. The event was the first international Vietnamese fashion show, showcasing the latest collections from Calvin Hiep, Thai Nguyen, Jacky Tai, Peter Phan, Vicki Nguyen, Cynthia Bui, and the Sachika Twins.
70 models were prepped at Advance Beauty College in Garden Grove, Calif, where Advance Beauty College students were able to assist each designer's hair and make-up teams, while nail students prepped the model's hands and feet. Hand & Nail Harmony's Thao Nguyen and her team of three worked with each designer to create one look to match each collection.
VietSALON associate editor Kim Pham had a backstage pass for a behind-the-scenes look at Viet Fashion Week's nails and fashion.

February 7, 2013
Twenty trucking companies from across North America have been named the 2013 Best Fleets to Drive Forby the Truckload Carriers Association and CarriersEdge.
The annual survey and contest, now in its fifth year, identifies for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace experiences for their drivers. This year's winners are:
In addition, five companies have been identified as "Fleets to Watch" (honorable mentions) for demonstrating innovation in their driver programs:
The Yanke Group of Companies, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,is the only company to be named a "Best Fleet" for all five years since the program was launched.
The nomination process began in the fall of 2012, when company drivers and owner-operators were asked to nominate carriers that operate 10 or more trucks. After confirming the validity of the nominations and the trucking companies' desire to participate, CarriersEdge interviewed human resources representatives and executives of the nominated fleets about their corporate direction, policies, and programs. Nominated fleets were evaluated against a scoring matrix covering a variety of categories, such as:
A selection of each fleet's drivers was also surveyed, with their feedback compared to management's and incorporated into the final score. The responses were then tallied, resulting in the selection of this year's winners and honorable mentions.
This year there was a 50% increase in nominations and participation for the fifth anniversary of the program.
The Yanke Group of Companies, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the only company to be named a "Best Fleet" for all five years since the program was launched.
"I think that's a real achievement, considering how much we've seen fleets improve their programs since we started," said TCA President Chris Burruss. "It's very difficult to get named a 'Best Fleet' to begin with, let alone remain on the list for five consecutive years!"
The next phase of the contest is to announce the highest scoring fleets from each of two categories: Best Overall Fleet for Owner Operators and Best Overall Fleet for Company Drivers. These overall winners will be honored at the TCA Annual Convention, March 3-6, 2013, at the Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

growing onions in Florida
I know there are two varieties of onions; one is called long day and the other is called short day. Long day onions need more hours of sunlight for the bulbs to form and grow. Short day onions need less hours of sunlight for the bulbs to form and grow.
The two varieties of onion I use are yellow and red.
Is yellow a long day variety of onion or a short day variety of onion? Likewise with red, is red a long day variety of onion or a short day variety of onion?
Which variety of onion is most suitable for being grown in Florida? The long day variety or the short day variety?
Is it possible to grow both red and yellow onions in Florida, or can you only grow red or only grow yellow in Florida? If you can only grow red or yellow onions in Florida (one or the other, not both) which variety is most suitable to be grown in Florida, red or yellow?
It's a little late to do onions in Florida now. They're a cool season crop.
But the ones you want are the granex type, sometimes called Vidalias though that name is trademarked to a specific region of Georgia. They are a short day onion and from what I've seen can be yellow or red, maybe even some whites in there too. The ones that are easiest to find are the yellow ones.
Mine will be getting ready to dry down in a another couple of weeks. Not sure how well they're going to keep this year though as those three hard freezes we had did a number on them.
Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide
I've planted many onion sets I got down here and rarely have I gotten any large onions from them. We usually give up and harvest lots of green onions. Last year they never really dried down so we didn't know when we should be harvesting them. Many rotted in the ground when it got too hot.
Short day onions are definitely supposed to be what to grow here but even then, I've not been very successful at getting anything that will store well.
Since I'm in Zone 10 I'll share my observations with you. Short day onions have worked best, yellow or white Granex. Sets are available from the Big Box stores as early as November. If planted in direct sun you'll have baseball size onions at 105-120 days, if in partial shade they'll be that size at 135-150 days.
I am lost even more now!
I read that sets should be planted in Jan. In our area zone 9 they don't sell sets before Feb-March! I planted some sets as soon as I bought them, but there is no way they will make a bulb.
I bought seeds of yellow Granex and will try to plant them in October as UF website says.
Ana Russa
From the Florida Vegetable Planting Guide I linked above:
Onions, Bulbing - Planting Dates - North Florida Sept-Dec, Central Florida Sept-Dec, South Florida Sept-Nov.
I've never tried onion from seed down here so I can't speak to that. Sets I like to put out after the weather breaks in the fall. Plants I'd probably wait until early to mid November, but far enough before frost (if you get it in your area) that they can be well established before the first one. I've had better luck with sets over plants myself because I can usually find and plant the sets before the plants are available.
I just dug all of my onions weekend before last. The three hard freezes we had over the winter hurt me, but I was still able to achieve a respectable harvest if not as good as those I've had in the past. Maybe a quarter bushel of bulbs baseball sized or larger, the rest smaller. I had too many sets and plants for the space available when I planted so over crowded them a little which hurt me as well. Next time I'll toss out the extras and keep the proper spacing.
Short day granex are what is wanted. You can find them in either yellow or white and I believe purple now as well. They want full-sun, even consistent moisture and regular fertilizing as they are heavy feeders.
You might could get a respectable crop with plants if you planted in early February in an area not prone to hard freezes, but that's kind of late in my experience. By March it is definitely too late unless you just want scallions.
Granex are not good keeping onions. Of the good quality undamaged bulbs I put into storage I expect to lose about a third of them over the summer. I have had them keep as long as the following December though. For real long-term storage I'd chop and freeze or dry them.
HD and WM are both currently selling in the Tampa area Sweet Georgia Onions (short day) for approx. $3 for a bundle of 60.
Does that mean they expect you to plant them now? Or, can they be stored until fall?
Or, is this another example of the peonies. By definition. I would think that nowhere would be planting short day onions at this point.
For scallions you might could get away with planting onions now, but it's much too late for bulb onions.
I haven't ever mail ordered onion plants or sets, but wait for them to show up locally. A lot of folks do order from Dixondale Farms as tomcath suggests and they seem to be happy with them. The thing to look for is "granex" though some might call theirs "Vidalias" but that's a protected trademark.
Some places still have old fashioned farm and garden centers that get plants at the right time of the year for Florida. For example, where I live (Winter Haven in Polk County) we have Doty's Farm and Garden Supply that has been around for over 50 years. They get there seeds in the late summer / early fall and do not remove them through the fall to make room for Christmas decorations. They get vidalia style (grainex or texas grano, I think) onion sets in the early fall. They are $6.95 for a bunch of 75 to 100 sets (I think there were over a hundred in the bunch I purchased, including the tiny ones that were too small to mess with). They also have bulk seed for several types short day onins (grainex and Texas grano) for a few dollars per tablespoon (I think I got a 1/4 tablespoon for $1.25 which turned out to be 400 seeds).
So, I don't know how it is in other places, but if you see a farm and garden supply store, stop in and check it out.
I saw onion sets in Lowes today. If I buy them now, will I be able to store them in a fridge till November? They don't look strong to me....
No, its too late now, I don't start them later than mid-January, and as small as they are I doubt they'd keep in the frig for 6-7 months.
A few years ago, I was in a nursery/garden center in N. Fla. where there was sweet onion sets for sale. This was in the spring. I commented to the gentleman owner that it was the wrong time of the year to put out this type onion. His reply was, "I just sell them, I don't educate people". Needless to say, I departed his place of business quickly.
In my area, only Lucas nursery has big selection and they don't sell onion sets in fall. They start selling them in the end of Feb. Did anybody try to plant little red onion bulbs that are sold in Walmart or Publix as food items? I did. It gave my lots of green onions but I am not sure if I can expect bulbs from them.
Being my first time growing onions, I purchased a bundle from a local big box store. Most were very ratty looking though I tried to get the best one. I then planted as many as I could fit in my small garden. I just checked my garden log and that was back at the end of Feb. I hope to get some sort of a bulb, I guess I might pull one to check. Only my first time growing the, though they do seem to be coming along.
Rats on these big box stores tricking us into thinking its the right time of year for planting onions! I bought a bundle the first of March and they are looking really good... but reading all these posts- I'm getting depressed they won't be big sweet onions ...and instead will rot in the ground before they are done. Oh well, I learn something new with each plant I try.

Defining Mortality After Dr. Death
There are new questions about the concept of 'brain death.'
Jack Kevorkian was back in the news last week, as the infamous practitioner of physician-assisted suicide died of natural causes at the age of 83. Throughout his life, "Dr. Death" provoked fraught questions of mortality, morality and end-of-life care. One of the most contentious: At what point is a person dead?
Like caring for the dying and the dead, defining death was traditionally a role for religious communities. Priests must administer last rites before a soul departs the body, and rabbis need to know the moment of death so that burial can take place within 24 hours. In the Judeo-Christian view, body and soul are inextricably linked, so life must be cherished. Death snaps that bond and leaves a corpse that should be honored with due rites and care, yet not mistaken for the person who is no longer there.
Hence the passage in the Talmud that clarifies the point of death by comparing the body of a decapitated man to the amputated tail of a lizard—the body, like the tail, may twitch or show signs of life, but it is not alive.
Given the rarity of death by decapitation, the usual standard for death was set by the romantic view of the heart as the seat of the life force, and breathing its co-conspirator: Once the heart stopped beating and the person stopped breathing, he was dead.
Yet, as with so many aspects of contemporary life, modern medicine overtook religious tradition. In 1981, a presidential commission set "brain death"—the end of all brain activity, including involuntary acts such as responding to pain—as the determination of life's end. That definition became the standard in all 50 states and in many other countries, and religious communities generally lined up behind it.
But some Christian and Jewish leaders have recently been raising doubts about brain death. A 2008 front-page article in the Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano called for revisiting the brain death definition. It echoed the sentiments of many pro-lifers who felt that the dying were losing out to a desire to cut medical costs or the urgent need for donated organs.
A few months later, Pope Benedict XVI seemed to reiterate those fears when he criticized organ trafficking and told a Vatican conference on organ donation that—while the church still strongly supports organ donation in principle—"where certainty [on death] has not been reached the principle of precaution must prevail." A year later, the U.S. Catholic bishops told Catholic hospitals they should bar the removal of nutrition and hydration from patients who would survive if they were provided.
Then last fall, the Rabbinical Council of America, the central body of Modern Orthodox Judaism in the U.S., circulated a report that seemed to set the threshold of mortality at the cessation of breathing and heartbeat—rather than the cessation of activity in the brain stem, which had been the standard since 1990. Rabbi Moshe D. Tendler, a leading Orthodox voice on medical ethics, dismissed the report as "drivel" and "nonsense," but arguments rage on.
The problem is that ventilators can now make patients appear to be alive, if only in a purely mechanical sense, while brain scans that pick up trace electrical activity have spooked us into wondering whether our loved ones are still there, prisoners in a comatose corpse, while last rites are performed on their unresponsive bodies and their organs are "harvested." Research published last year reinforced this worry by indicating that a small number of patients with a level of brain damage once believed to preclude consciousness and communication in fact possess some level of awareness. Thus the advocacy for returning to a version of the older, cardiorespiratory threshold of death.
Clarity is crucial in this matter because the stakes are so high. Costs associated with caring for people in the finals months of life account for a large chunk of health-care costs, and donating organs depends on their timely removal from cadavers. Yet the moral peril of hastening a death or making a premature declaration of death is enormous.
The desire to hold onto the body as the final anchor of a temporal life is a profoundly human reflex and an important counterweight to a view of the body as a container to be disposed of or recycled when convenient. Yet if body and soul are connected, there is also a point at which that connection is broken by death—and refusing to recognize the soul's departure only leaves us fixating on the lizard's tail.
Mr. Gibson is author of "The Rule of Benedict: Pope Benedict XVI and His Battle With the Modern World" (HarperOne, 2006).

I want to define some constants in one package and then use them in another package, but I don't seem to be doing this right! At first shot I was getting
Bareword "FAVORITE_COLOR" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at ...
I guess it was because I wasn't using the base path for my package in the lib() function,
Module My/Colors.pm
package My::Colors;
use Exporter;
our($VERSION, @ISA, @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK, %EXPORT_TAGS);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw( );
@EXPORT_OK = qw( FAVORITE_COLOR DISLIKED_COLOR );
%EXPORT_TAGS = ( 'all' => [ @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK ], 'const' => [ 'FAVORITE_COLOR', 'DISLIKED_COLOR'] );
our @EXPORT_OK;
use lib qw( /home/dev );
use Carp;
use constant {
DISLIKED_COLOR => "green",
FAVORITE_COLOR => "red"
sub new {
my($class, %args) = @_;
my $self = bless({}, $class);
my $target = exists $args{target} ? $args{target} : "new";
$self->{target} = $target;
return $self;
Module that includes exported constants color_driver.plx
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use lib qw( /home/dev/My );
use Colors;
use Colors qw(:const);
sub main{
my $color = new Colors;
print "Color is",FAVORITE_COLOR;
any idea what I'm doing wrong?
When I remove strict the constant doesnt translate to its value =/
Updated Unfortunately now perl is complaining that it can't find new sub
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Colors" (perhaps you forgot to load "Colors"?) at color_driver.plx line 15 (#1)

Beijing - There is no shortage of problems facing China these days: a terrorist attack that recently left 29 people killed and 143 injured; corruption in government; a worrisome slowdown in economic growth.
So when the country's two highest governing bodies met in Beijing this week, what was the burning issue on the delegates' lips? A South Korean soap opera that has taken the country by storm.
To be fair, it's hard to overstate just how popular this show is these days. After the show's female lead mentioned "beer and fried chicken" in one episode, it became one of the most invoked phrases online. Restaurants cashed in and started selling beer and fried chicken meals.
One pregnant woman from Jiangsu, a province in eastern China, almost had a miscarriage, according to some news reports, after she stayed up too many nights binge-watching and eating fried chicken and beer.
The show's name in Chinese translates literally as: "My Love from the Star." It has garnered more than 25 billion views online and has shot up to the top of the country's viewership.
Its premise may seem a bit bizarre to Western soap watchers. It's about an alien who accidentally arrives on Earth 400 years ago, meets an arrogant female pop star and falls in love.
Well aware of the craze the drama has caused in China, one committee of China's political advisory body (called the CPPCC) spent a whole morning bemoaning why China can't make a show as good and as big of a hit.
At a meeting of delegates from the culture and entertainment industry, some blamed it partly on China's censorship, euphemistically referred to as the "examination and approval system" at the meeting by Feng Xiaogang, a famous director and a CPPCC member. "My heart trembles," he said, whenever waiting for a movie to go through this rigorous censoring procedure.
"My wings and imagination are all broken," said one comedian delegate. But she didn't go into further detail, perhaps out of caution of offending those very censors.
Many viewed the massive popularity of the Korean drama as a heavy blow to Chinese confidence in their own culture.
"It is more than just a Korean soap opera. It hurts our culture dignity," one CPPCC member said.
It's not the first time popular foreign entertainment has led to handwringing in China. In 2008 when Dreamworks' "Kung Fu Panda" became a runaway hit in China, it led to similar soul-searching. Why did it take American producers to find the drama and humor in a fat panda learning kung fu in China, many asked.
This time around, the angst over the Korean drama carries with it some bitterness with regional rivalries. While China has long considered itself the source of East Asian culture, the domination of Japanese comics and Korean soap opera in Chinese pop culture challenges that view.
One of China's top seven Communist Party leaders even weighed in on the issue this week.
"Korean drama is ahead of us," Wang Qishan said in surprising comments at one of more important legislative meetings, according to Beijing News. Wang is head of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, in charge of an ongoing wide-scale anti-corruption campaign. (Wang, who seems to keep a busy TV viewing schedule, is also reportedly one of the many ardent fans within the party of the Netflix drama "House of Cards.)
But he argued that the Korean soap opera also highlights how Chinese value aspects of their traditional culture that can be also seen in the drama.
"The core and soul of the Korean opera is a distillation of traditional Chinese culture. It just propagates traditional Chinese culture in the form of a TV drama."

World's biggest sandcastle
In the latest stunt from its creative team, Caterpillar has built the world's biggest sand castle.
On a beach in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, seven Cat machines helped seven sand sculptors to build a rather sophisticated edifice standing 12.69 metres in the air.
It has officially been verified by the people from the Guinness Book of Records as a new world record.
New dredging specification machines join Land & Water
With every expectation of another wet winter, it looks like specialist contractor Land & Water is going to remain up to its eyeballs in work for quite a while yet.
Land & Water is one of the country's leading names when it comes to flood defences. It boasts the largest fleet of specialist long reach excavators, dredging equipment and floating plant in the UK.
We reported in our news section recently how some of Land & Water's new JCB JS145 long reach excavators had been put to work on flood prevention schemes on Somerset Levels on behalf of the Environment Agency (pictured below).
A&L McCrae stands by Bell
Having tried out another make, Scottish plant hire firm and quarry operation A&L McCrae has continued its association with Bell Equipment with the purchase of two B30E articulated dump trucks.
A&L McCrae ran trials with another manufacturer's ADT but decided it couldn't match the performance and reliability it had already experienced with Bell.
A&L McCrae owns and operates the Barrachander Quarry, in Argyll, while also running a plant hire and haulage division. It uses ADTs to transport rock armour from the quarry up and down the west coast of Scotland, as well as carting rock from local borrow pits on road lines.
More Volvo machines for Essex aggregates supplier
A year after buying a new Volvo EC220D crawler excavator, Essex-based SRC Aggregates has gone back for more.
The latest deal includes a pair of 30-tonne A30G articulated haulers, an L120H and L150H loading shovels, another EC220D and the slightly larger 25-tonne EC250E crawler excavators.
These machines have gone to work at SRC Aggregates Crown Quarry sand and gravel extraction facility near Colchester and at Highwood Quarry near Great Dunmow.
Takeuchi takes a shine to Hill couplers
Quick coupler manufacturer Hill Engineering looks to be strengthening its association with Japanese excavator manufacturer Takeuchi.
In 2013 Hill supplied Takeuchi with around 150 of its Tefra hydraulic quick coupler units. This year that figure has topped 500 units.
And further growth is expected next year... "With Takeuchi's strong performance in the excavator market place we fully expect to retail in the region of 700 couplers next year," says Mike Roby, Hill Engineering's sales director.

There's no leverage like seduction…until love takes a bite of his plans.
The Deep Series, Book 1 (Formerly titled Notturno)
As the Indiana Jones of historical erotica, there is no document existing—or just rumored to exist—Adin Tredeger can't unearth. Why he would risk the biggest coup of his career to join the mile-high club is beyond him. But the disarming, dark-eyed man who somehow enters Adin's locked airplane washroom has him completely nude and coming apart. All without a whimper of protest.
From that moment, Adin and Donte Fedelta engage in an international battle of wit and cunning. The prize—a priceless, 500-year-old journal with illustrations so erotic it could make the Marquis de Sade blush.
Yet Donte's desire for the journal goes far beyond simple possession. The undead nobleman wrote it. And he's not above using every trick in his otherworldly arsenal—including seduction—to get it back.
Chemistry draws them together even as fortune tugs them apart. But when a third party joins the chase, they must unite to fight an enemy with a deadly goal—to erase Donte from history.
This book is a rerelease of a previously published book, with substantial rewrites.
Warning: This product contains one cocky college professor, one centuries-old vampire who is out to show him who's at the top of the food chain, and red wine. Because it goes so well with humble pie.Amazon All Romance Ebooks Samhain
Love can heal the deepest wounds…
A sense of duty brings a soldier home…but a passionate cowboy makes him want to stay.
After his brother's tragic death, Tripp has to leave the army and return to New Mexico to take care of his mother while his father is in prison for arson. Seeking work at the J-Bar Ranch, Tripp is immediately drawn to injured cowboy Lucho Reyes, whose foot was accidentally crushed by a rescue horse. But will the sins of the father interfere with the desires of the son? Tripp's father may be responsible for the death of Lucho's grandfather.
Now Tripp must balance caring for his mother, repairing his father's damages, and trying to win the heart of a man who has every reason to hate him and his family…
Cupid is visiting Bluewater Bay, and he's leaving chaos in his wake….
Nothing's been the same in this sleepy little logging town since Hollywood came to shoot the hit TV show Wolf's Landing—especially Valentine's Day.
In L.A. Witt's Just Another Day, beloved actors Levi Pritchard and Carter Samuels have an announcement for their fans, while in Z.A. Maxfield's I'll Be There, actor Spencer Kepler and his boyfriend Nash Holly brave a blizzard and a fan convention to spend their first February the 14th together.
Of course, it's not just TV stars celebrating the day. In Anne Tenino's Helping Hand, an aspiring artist eager to escape Bluewater Bay decides he just might have a reason to stay: lust-inspiring logger Gabriel Savage. In SE Jakes's No Easy Way, a local teacher reconnects with an old lover working security on the film set. And in Amy Lane's Nascha, a Bluewater Bay elder recalls how his own unconventional family used to celebrate the holiday.
Real life may be nothing like TV, but when Cupid comes to town, there's plenty of romance and drama to go around.

Maintaining a dishwasher
I'm surprised with the frequent complaints about dishwashers suddenly not cleaning well, that many people mention changing detergents, but hardly anyone mentions checking or maintaining the physical spray arms and water delivery.
I have a six-year old Maytag that was the top-of-the-line at the time. It was never a great machine, but generally performs adequately. However, three times in those six years, the top rack cups and glasses would start coming out with lots of dried grit (looked like salt and pepper stuck on, esp towards the deepest parts of the cup.
Since the mechanisms of the washer are pretty basic and the same - water, heat, motion - all three times I did a simple test to see if the spray arms were working. I'd open up during a cycle and line up the arms, then close up and let the machine restart for a few seconds. Then I'd open up again and see if the arms had moved. In all three times, the upper arm had basically stopped moving, indicating not enough water and pressure was flowing through, and thus most of the upper rack was not getting a strong spray anymore.
Once it turned out the plastic channel in the back that routes water to the upper arm had gotten partially dislodged, and I just had to snap it back. Two times, undissolved food and residue had clogged the spray holes, so I cleaned out the holes with toothpicks and a screwdriver. After remedying the water delivery, the spray arms started moving again, and the upper rack items started getting clean again.
I feel these are common physical things that can degrade many dishwashers regardless of brand, and probably one of the first things to be checked if a dishwasher performance starts to degrade suddenly and gradually. Just wanted to pass this suggestion on to others...
A contractor I know told me he once remodeled a kitchen, and the owner happily got a new DW to replace a 5 year old DW that was TOL but never got the dishes clean, at all. When that DW was removed, they found the supply line had been bent, apparently upon installation. They concluded that perhaps the DW never got enough water. I'm not knowledgeable enough about such things, but that may have been the problem, in that particular case.
Oho! This explains a lot. I have a Maytag, too, over 4 yrs old, and I'm pretty sure it's a disposer type. I get food on the glasses sometimes, too. I need to clean it out. I should have thought of that. I used to clean out the spray mechanism on my old KA, which I loved, in order to eke out a few more years (it lasted 19 years). My DW repair guy used to come take apart the bottom part and clean it all out for me, too. He told me to run a cup of vinegar through it. Maybe I should try that with the Maytag.
Just went throught the Miele install process - they take you through a demo of your new DW...
A couple things they mentioned...
- clean the filter.
- clean out the arms - they pop out easily on Miele's and the holes can get stuck with rice, etc.
- DO Not rinse you plates - the corosive nature of the dish detergent needs something to work on...if there is no food/grease it will attach your plates and the DW seals
- Use basic granular dish detergent. Stay away from gels and liquids as this will leave residue all over the inside of the DW and be cheaper to boot.
- Use Jetdry for drier dishes

Midyear tax checkup makes extra sense this year
The big picture is there are no clear answers at the moment.
But if you believe tax increases are on the way for 2013, it may be prudent to accelerate income and postpone deductions this year, says Luscombe. The reverse of the usual tax strategy, it makes sense when someone is headed for a higher tax bracket the following year.
Besides selling assets that would result in a capital gain, ways to accelerate income include converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and taking distributions from an IRA or retirement plan, so long as it won't result in an early withdrawal penalty. Postponing deductions could mean waiting to make a charitable gift until next year, when the deduction could have more value, or deferring realization of a capital loss.
