2012 Gallery Reviews
September 2012 Gallery - Lee Horus Clark & Yolande Clark - "White Hot Molten Love: Wood Fired Ceramics" by Sharon Cohen
Wood fired ceramics intrigue both neophytes and aficionados. Ceramic artists who use the process tend to become addicted to it, while collectors tend to come addicted to acquiring wood fired ceramic pieces. The work of Lee Horus Clark and Yolande Clark will no doubt intrigue many viewers and enrich many collections.

August 2012 Gallery - Lincoln Heller - Leather by Leonie Markhorst
"A single glance at this month's gallery show and I know I am in for a treat. I am a fond lover of leather, and even though I usually gravitate more towards soft, "trendy" purses, the fiveleft leather collection immediately sparks an interest in me. These bags are different; I haven't seen anything like it before and I am curious to find out more about the brand and the designer."

July 2012 Gallery - Adele Samphire & Lisa Samphire - "Samphire Fusion" by Sharon Cohen
"In the heyday of the Surrealist art movement, artists working in the genre were known to get together and work on collaborative experiments in and informal, social setting. Each artist seated at the table would be given a blank sheet of paper folded into four horizontal sections. The participant would draw something in the top quarter and then fold the page to conceal the drawing and hand the sheet over to the next artist, who would create something on section two of the page, unaware of what was on section one. The process would repeat around the table until the page was filled, giving rise to fascinating hybrid art, collaborative yet disparate - the work created was striking due to the juxtapositions and contrasts; the fact that nothing was inter-related. This is exactly the opposite of what ceramic artist Adele Samphire and glass blower Lisa Samphire achieve in their "Samphire Fusion" exhibition currently being hosted at the Circle Craft Gallery."

June 2012 Gallery - Jacqueline Robins - "Beloved" by Sharon Cohen
"It would appear that ceramic artist Jacqueline Robins is a woman of many talents; and that those talents are as abundant as they are diverse. I've been an admirer of hers for years, and own many of her fine pieces, having also sent them as gifts to various parts of the world. Due to my familiarity with her work, I must confess to having had some preconceived notions prior to visiting the exhibition. It's the mark of a true artist to be able to surprise the viewer, even (especially!) the viewer who has knowledge and more than just a passing acquaintance with the artist's work."

May 2012 Gallery - Terri-Ann Dunning - Salt Spring Island Floor Art by Sharon Cohen
"Floor art. What an unusual concept. Certainly under-represented and seldom seen as an art form, but the concept is not totally new. According to Terri-Ann Dunning, skilled practitioner of the art, the concept pre-dates her personal interpretation of it. "Eighteen years ago", she says, "I saw floor art beneath a dining room table at a friend's dinner party." It's a shame for Terri-Ann's many customers that she kept this idea in the back of her mind for so long before starting to work, which only happened ten years ago, after she took some painting classes."

April 2012 Gallery - Jason Marlow & Miran Elbakyan - Metal & Wood Work by Sharon Cohen
"In some ways, it makes sense to put wood and metal together in one exhibition. Both are solid, tough, natural elements - the wood-turned work of Jason Marlow compliments the metal work of Miran Elbakyan, and vice versa. Yet the pieces could not be more different, highlighting not only the scope within each medium, but also the depth of creativity within each artist."

March 2012 Gallery - Diane Perry - "A Day in the Life of all Things Monstery" by Sharon Cohen
"Witches and sorcerers and purveyors of evil spells are not the first cousins of textile artist Diane Perry's playful, friendly, plush monsters. Her creations are benign and benevolent creatures, the product of a fertile imagination. You'd definitely want to take them home to meet your mother. Or your kids. The whole family, in fact. And these monsters do give the impression of being a little family, in and of themselves. It's only the odd snaggle tooth that gives the sense of "monsterhood" – for the most part, these are just creatures. Wonderful creatures."

February 2012 Gallery - Student Scholarship Reciepients 2011 by Sharon Cohen
"Next year will see the tenth anniversary of the Circle Craft student scholarship awards for emerging artists in four disciplines (ceramics, textiles, metal work and jewellery.) Gallery visitors will certainly enjoy viewing the work of this year's very deserving recipients. If Kelly Austin, Emily Hill, Donovan Hough and Idolly Schwendener are anything to go by, the future of local craft looks very bright indeed."

January 2012 Gallery - Sean Goddard – "Coleoptera and Diptera" (Beetles and Flies) by Sharon Cohen
"Despite the fact that the insects inspiring Sean Goddard's work are all airborne, he has his feet firmly on the ground. He's been called "the bug guy" and describes his craft as "makin' bugs". He makes insects, loves doing it, and has little inclination to spread his wings much further for the time being – that's the job of the subjects he immortalizes in glass and metal! He's not out there chasing rainbows, he's in his studio making bugs."

Emotion, Attachment, Theology: How Do They Fit in the Hierarchy of the Sciences?
Dr. Nancey Murphy
A well known model for understanding relations among the sciences is a hierarchy, stretching from physics at the bottom to the social sciences. The past years have seen exciting developments at the interface between biology and psychology. Meanwhile psychologists have always appreciated the "downward" effects of social groups on individual health and development. The purpose of this paper will be to argue for the importance of locating the bio-psycho-social phenomenon of attachment in still broader intellectual contexts of ethics and theology. While it may appear obvious to many that close emotional ties are an intrinsic good, there are also strands in Western culture that place greater emphasis on autonomy and competition. We need some account of the true purpose of human life (an ethic) to arbitrate between competing accounts of ideal psychological development, and ethics is in turn dependent upon accounts of Ultimate Reality—one of which is found in the Anabaptist tradition.

STILLWATER — Bob Koenig's eyes quickly fixed on the bright orange envelope seemingly glowing among the dozen or so white ones piled on his kitchen countertop in Cape Coral, Fla., home.
Oklahoma State football: Orange is a color of choice in the Koenig household
"I walked in and I looked at it and I turned to my wife and I said, 'Who would go to Stillwater, Oklahoma? That's a long way,'" Koenig said of the football recruiting letter intended for his son.
"I ate those words, didn't I?"
Over and over, although the aftertaste has proved quite pleasant.
With his youngest son Daniel expected to start at right tackle in Saturday's season opener against Savannah State, Bob Koenig and his wife Cindy will have now provided the Cowboys with three offensive line starters dating back to the Bob Simmons era.
It started with Doug, the recipient of that first orange-colored correspondence, recruited then by Rob Ryan on Simmons' staff. Then came David, a four-year letterman who finished at OSU in 2007.
And now it's Daniel, believed by many to be the best of the Koenig boys, a sophomore who contributed a year ago and now projects as a long-term fixture along the Cowboys line.
"I had no idea what I was starting, absolutely not," said Doug, who now works with David in Tampa at Ferguson Waterworks, a supplier of plumbing and building products to contractors.
Dad clearly didn't know, based on his initial reaction. Yet he and Cindy kept entrusting their sons to OSU, one after the other, connecting with a university and a football team some 1,400 miles from home on the southwest coast of Florida.
"I've used all my money and all my vacation going to Stillwater, for a long time," Bob said. "And we've met a lot of good people and we enjoy it immensely when we're there.
"It's a good place to take some young boys and turn them into men. And the school has done a very good job with that."
Doug scouted out Stillwater first, making an official visit to campus in 1999 and not knowing exactly what he'd find.
He was ranked as a top-80 prospect in talent-rich Florida and had interest from Miami, Central Florida, South Florida, Auburn, Mississippi and Tulane.
"I went there with an open mind," he said. "Being from Florida, I knew it was going to be different. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
"My first reaction was how overwhelmingly nice the people were."
That impression has never changed. Doug embraced his time at OSU, met his wife – former Cowgirls tennis player Erin Pauchnik – at OSU and made many more lasting relationships at OSU.
"There's so much more to offer there than just going to play football," Doug said. "The Midwest values are exceptional compared to other parts of the country. The people there and the guidance you get, it's more exceptional than any of the other places I've ever been, and not just in terms of the school, but the type of people who are there."

The Department of Neurology at the University of Florida in Gainesville has long been known for excellence in clinical teaching and for our programs in epilepsy and behavioral neurology. In the past decade, our faculty has more than doubled. We have opened dialogues with faculty in other departments at the McKnight Brain Institute and Health Sciences Center, creating a fertile environment for collaboration in basic and clinical research. We have developed programs in Movement Disorders, Neurorehabilitation, and Alzheimer's Disease, and greatly expanded our activities in Stroke and General Neurology. By browsing this website, you can learn about our programs in clinical care, education, and research. Some highlights are touched on below.
We maintain in-patient ward and consultative services and provide out-patient care at Shands Hospital and at the Malcom Randall Veterans Administration Hospital. Shands at UF is consistently ranked among the best hospitals in the United States. We have general neurology clinics in which to see patients with all neurological problems, including, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, myasthenia, memory disorders, headache, and stroke. We have subspecialty clinics in memory disorders and Alzheimer's disease, neuromuscular disorders, epilepsy, and movement disorders. We work in conjunction with Neurosurgery to offer selected patients surgical treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. We have recruited Dr. Michael Waters to lead a stroke program at Shands, and we will be recruiting a neurointensivist to staff a new neurointensive care unit.
In education, we teach medical students, and we have residency and fellowship training programs in adult neurology, clinical neurophysiology, behavioral neurology, and movement disorders. We are also active in continuing education for physicians, and in outreach programs for patients. Dr. Daniel Martinez-Ramirez, our Clerkship Director, is in charge of clinical neurology education for medical students. All these programs are designed to provide a continuum of neurological science education from the first year of medical school up to residency training in Neurology. We are fortunate to have exceptionally strong leadership and support from the College of Medicine.
We have research programs in behavioral neurology, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, neurorehabilitation, and many other areas. We collaborate with colleagues from other departments in the McKnight Brain Institute, the Health Sciences Center, UF and other institutions. A neuro-oncology program in the Department of Neurosurgery provides state-of-the-art surgical and medical care, enhances education for neurology residents, and opens opportunities for research.
Our success in each of these areas can be attributed to the support we receive from the College of Medicine and the McKnight Brain Institute, but principally to the efforts of superb faculty members.
Dr. Kenneth M. Heilman leads the behavioral neurology program that he established at UF. He is Director of the Center for Neuropsychological Studies at UF. His leadership in behavioral neurology has attracted many students and faculty members to UF and has spawned independent programs in Neurorehabilitation, led by Drs. Leslie Gonzalez Rothi and Stephen Nadeau, and Alzheimer's disease. Because of these remarkable faculty members, together with equally established and well-known faculty in Neurology and many allied departments, the University of Florida is known as a world leader in the Cognitive Neurosciences.
Epilepsy was a major focus of the Department from its inception in the 1960's, and today, clinical and research programs in epilepsy are stronger than ever with important contributions from Drs. Cibula, Eisenschenk and Hella in Neurology, Drs. Carney and Liu in Pediatric Neurology and Dr. Roper in Neurosurgery, with collaboration from scientists at the McKnight Brain Institute and in Biomedical Engineering, and with support from an endowment by one of the original faculty in Neurology, Professor Emeritus B. J. Wilder.
The Movement Disorders program at UF was established in 2002 by Dr. Michael Okun in Neurology and Dr. Kelly Foote in Neurosurgery. The program added Dr. Ramon Rodriguez in 2005, Dr. Irene Malaty in 2009 and Dr. Aparna Wagle Shukla in 2011. Now, with over 20 interdisciplinary faculty members, clinical research programs, a deep brain stimulation program that performs two or three surgeries per week, a comprehensive Clinical Trials Center for Movement Disorders, and busy out-patient clinics at Shands and at the VA, the UF Movement Disorders program is recognized as one of the leading movement disorders programs in the country. In 2006, Dr. Okun was honored to be selected Medical Director of the National Parkinson Foundation.
There are many other people and programs that contribute to the success of this Department. You are welcome to browse this website to learn more about the exciting programs for patient care, education and research in Neurology at the University of Florida, and about the people who make these programs possible.

i found a previous post about bigfoot, where a lot of people mocked the idea. i have been car camping in 4x4's for over 10 years. backpacking for 3 years.has anyone ever heard animal sounds that they've never heard before while camping? i was in uhwarrie national forest this past weekend and heard a sound i have never heard before in my life, nor do i hope to ever hear it again. after waking up and talking with friends about the sound we heard, we decided to do research for animals known to be in the area and see if we can match their sounds to the one we heard. so far we've found nothing that sounds like it online. the only thing i've gained from this is curiosity.please share your experiences if you've ever had any
So what did it sound like?First time I heard a mountain lion I was terrified. Sounds like a woman screaming. Hard to go back to bed after that.
Edited by cobberman on 10/07/2012 00:40:17 MDT.
The mating call of a wombat. I was camping by myself and the wombat was only a few feet from my tent .Weird the first time ...
I think the strangest animal cry I've ever heard was while I was sleeping at a tent camp in Kenya. It was the loudest, and most shrill sound, just eerie--it came from a small tree hyrax, which was in a tree not far away. Little critter, big sound.
Camping in a strange pile of huge boulders (Hanging Rock, Victoria) one night. Terrible screams from above us in the dark. One of those lovely fluffy cuddly koala bears irritated at us being there.Sitting at home (farm) one evening. Noises down the valley. No worries. An hour later, knock-knock at the door. Two policemen investigating a report about a domestic dispute somewhere in the vicinity: could we help locate it? They were a bit reluctant to believe us when we told them it was just a vixen (female fox) calling for her mate.Camping in dark forest on a stormy night. Weird high-pitched noise at intervals, sort of a wail or a squeal. Just one smooth-barked tree rubbing against another in the wind.Camped by a river with lots of rapids. Faint voices heard late, in the distance. Someone in distress? Nope, just our ears playing tricks with the white noise from the rapids.Cheers
Whenever I camp by running water, I feel like I am hearing distant voices all day long.
Another sort of weird noise here is camping in a somewhat remote area and hearing a chainsaw or a nail gun operated nearby.Lyrebirds are very good a mimicking noses like that...(they do that to impress the female...)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeQjkQpeJwYfrom around the 2 min mark he is imitating other birds ..then he will repeat his repertoiremore soundshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAwiFMKPHmY&feature=fvwrel
Ryan,I have spent many a night sharing the night with screech owls, great horned owls, spotted and barred owls, fox screams, coyote yells, and elk bugles.They have alarmed my fear factor and heightened my natural sense of curiousity. Also drunk homo sapiens from near and afar make a variety of unintelligible sounds. Check out this site to hear a few of the sounds.Also if you are seriously considering that "Bigfoot" is a real please go read a book about mammals or primates.Hoothttp://sasquatchsearch.tripod.com/sounds.htm
Was taking a break below Potluck pass a few weeks ago on the Sierra High Route and not just one Coyote but a whole pack howling. Though they were eying us up for diner !
In July I was hiking in the Pecos Wilderness. I was hearing what sounded like sea gulls only to find out later that it was baby elk. We hiked through a valley where there were a couple hundred of them.
thanks for all the repliesso far i've found sounds and calls for the following animals:black bearbrown bearmountain lionbob catelkdeerand various owlsso far i have found nothing matching the scream, it lasted for about 30 seconds was multitoned and very loud, my initial discription to a friend was a variation of a cat high pitched scream ending with and owl kind of sound with varying tones in the end.and i will say i hope to live long enough to hear all the drunk people yell on youtube, but havent wasted my time listening to them yet.any ideas on animals known to be in the southeast that i have yet to look for?i am in no way saying i heard bigfoot, i tried to make that clear in the original post to try and avoid being critisized. what i am saying is i heard something i've never heard before. while some may automatically jump to bigfoot, i am not doing that.thank you,Ryan
When hiking in the South Warner Wilderness at 8,000 feet, It was getting dark and I suddenly started hearing a massive and loud chorus of moo's and baaa's. It sounded like there were a hundred cows and a hundred goats down the mountain in the valley/creek drainage. Some herder must have brought his animals all the way into that wilderness area. This place was very remote and I didn't see any other people. I never did spot the animals.
Besides the geology being different than the Sierra, I find the Lassen Volcanic NP and ajoining Caribou Wilderness sending out noises in the night of critters I have no idea what they are.Duane
when I was in the Gila I heard some really strange (and slightly unnerving :))"shrieking", I later identified the noise as a juvenile great horned owl- basically shrieking to demand food
On a recent trip with my son's cub scouts, a raccoon stole an entire backpack out of some lady's bunk. I'd never heard shouts and screams like that before :-)
"I'd never heard shouts and screams like that before :-)"From the lady or the raccoon?
Edited by scottbentz on 10/09/2012 21:54:55 MDT.
The scream of a fox can make a man's hair stand on end.
I soon recognized the sound, but the time a bull elk spent most of the night bugling near my camp one October night was quite interesting. At first I was thrilled. However, the 7th or 8th time he woke me from a sound sleep, I had strong thoughts about elk stew!I've heard the initial sounds of the elk bugle described as similar to a not-very-good high school clarinetist attempting to play the riff at the beginning of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," followed by miscellaneous grunts. (From WIlliam Sullivan's "Listening for Coyote.") Pretty good description, I'd say. Those unearthly screaming sounds are undoubtedly mountain lion/cougar.
Edited by hikinggranny on 10/09/2012 23:54:11 MDT.
Rabbits will also scream when scared or injured. You wouldn't think such a sound could come from something so cute and quiet-looking.
The really scary things you'll never hear coming. Woke up one morning with mountain lion tracks circling my tent. Never heard a thing.Did not hear the bear climbing into an open car window at camp either. We were less than 20' away.Widow makers.Sweet dreams everyone.

Stoke City Football Club's President Gordon Banks
10:10 22nd November 2012
Places snapped up to celebrate City legend's 75th birthday
STOKE CITY will be celebrating two big birthdays in 2013 . . . one of which will honour their World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks.
As well as the Club's own 150th anniversary, a dinner will be held in February to mark the 75th birthday of the England and Stoke legend.
Such is the huge popularity of the man who helped England win the World Cup in 1966 that places at this prestigious event SOLD OUT within days of City finalising their plans to hold the celebration dinner at the Britannia Stadium.
One of the big attractions is that other members of England's World Cup winning squad will be in attendance on what promises to be a trip down memory lane with footage from a wonderful career and interviews with the legend himself.
Banks, who is now the Club's President, is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time after performing with such distinction for England as well as in the domestic game, initially with Leicester City and then at the Victoria Ground.
"It's a measure of the high esteem in which Gordon is held throughout the game that we received a high level of interest from the moment that we started to formulate our plans for the dinner," said City's Head of Commercial Andrew Billingham.
"We already know this will be another occasion when we have a 'full house' at the Britannia Stadium and it will be wonderful to see some famous faces here, all of whom want to join Gordon to celebrate this occasion and his fantastic career."
Banks actually celebrates his 75th birthday on December 30th, but this special dinner will take place in the Tony Waddington Suite on Thursday 28th February.

I'm rapidly finding out that authors must have the skill of circus performers in juggling the demands upon their time. They must never stop moving to keep everything in the air. If only being an author was all about writing books! But that's no more true than to say that being an agent is all about reading them. Take my own manic existence at the moment as an example. I've just finished writing my second commissioned novel for Ebury Press: The Lost Duchess, due out 7 November - 'finished' in the sense that the manuscript has been submitted, only to have a ream of notes in reply from my wonderful editor on how the novel could be much improved (and every one of her suggestions absolutely right). So on the flight to Florida I was working out how best to make these revisions, and, once that's done, I know that there'll be further revisions, copy edits and proof reading to look forward to. This may all be described as 'writing', even if some of it isn't particularly creative - but there's also 'promotion' to do, and these days it's not possible to neatly separate out the two; promotion can't be abandoned while in writing mode and vice versa (or risk missing the next deadline!). Thus I was also thinking about my programmed panel session at HNS2013, preparing what I'd say about 'Making the Breakthrough', and I was looking forward with some trepidation to the first signing of my newly released paperback, Mistress of the Sea, which would, because of the conference, be held in the US. As it happened, I ended up sitting next to 'over 15 million in print' internationally renowned thriller writer Steve Berry for my signing, which proved to be a sell-out, in the same hall as Diana Gabaldon, Christopher Gortner and a host of other great names in historical fiction. I couldn't really have asked for a better start.

What would be so wrong with replacing Tease Me, Please me with something like The Sails of Charon, Pictured Life, Longing For Fire, or Catch Your Train? Honestly, while I love them all, I don't think many people would miss songs like Coast to Coast, Dynamite, Send Me an Angel, or even The Zoo, at this point, if they were removed from the set in lieu of rarely played gems. If ever there was a time to do such a thing, said time is now.

It's true: we love talking about our food. And we love to get questions from the people who eat it. Here are some of our favorites. If there's something you want to know and it's not covered here, just ask. We'll do our best to get you an answer.
CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix is specifically formulated to help the body restore, replenish and rebuild after a workout. It is most effective when used within a 30-minute window after a workout. CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix provides fast absorbing protein to aid recovery immediately after activity.
The CLIF SHOT Electrolyte Hydration Drink and CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mixes expand the CLIF SHOT portfolio to provide athletes with what they need for hydration and recovery before, during and after workouts. You can enjoy CLIF SHOT Drink Mixes together or separately.
Yes. CLIF SHOT Recovery Drink Mix contains milk sources from milk protein concentrate and whey. To address all of your allergen-related questions, please view our complete Allergen Reference Table.
Yes. CLIF SHOT Electrolyte Replacement Drink is certified kosher by Orthodox Union (OU).
The primary purpose of CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix is to deliver what an athlete needs after his/her training and racing: high-quality whey and milk protein (casein) to help rebuild muscle, organic glucose to help restore muscle glycogen and sodium to replenish what is lost during activity.
While vitamins such as A, C, and E are critical to daily well-being, studies continually show that there is no performance benefit to athletes consuming these vitamins as supplements if they are eating a balanced diet.
We crafted our recovery drink to taste delicious and rewarding when mixed with 8 oz water. However, if you prefer a richer drink then use less water. If you prefer something a little thinner then use a little more water.
A serving of CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix contains 10 grams of high-quality whey and casein (reference #5) to help rebuild muscle, organic glucose to help restore muscle glycogen and sodium to help replenish what is lost during activity.
CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix acts as a bridge until your post-workout meal because liquid protein provides faster absorption than solid protein sources (reference #6).
CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery after a workout can serve two purposes. It helps to restore muscle glycogen, and also helps rebuild muscle broken down during activity (reference #7).
CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix is made with 70% organic ingredients and is formulated with streamlined ingredients to help the body recover immediately after activity and prepare for tomorrow's workout.
CLIF SHOT Protein Recovery Drink Mix includes milk proteins, whey and casein. Whey is a fast-absorbing protein that has been shown to help maximize the body's muscle-building potential when consumed immediately after activity, while casein is digested more slowly and can help prevent muscle breakdown (reference #4).

May 16, 2000
The Honorable Phil Gramm
United States Senate
Committee on Banking, Housing
and Urban Affairs
Washington, DC 20510-6075
Dear Chairman Gramm:
This responds to your letter of April 12, 2000, regarding "predatory lending." The Commission has played an integral role in combating abusive practices by subprime lenders and I appreciate the opportunity to share our experience in this area with you.
As you know, the Commission has wide-ranging responsibilities concerning nearly all segments of the economy. As part of its mandate to protect consumers, the Commission enforces the Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTC Act"), which broadly prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices. The Commission also enforces a number of laws specifically governing lending practices, including the Truth in Lending Act ("TILA"), which requires disclosures and establishes certain substantive requirements in connection with consumer credit transactions, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act ("HOEPA!'), which, as part of the TILA, provides special protections for consumers in certain non-purchase, high-cost loans secured by their homes, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA"), which prohibits discrimination against applicants for credit on the basis of age, race, sex, or other prohibited factors. The Commission has jurisdiction over most non-bank lenders. In addition to our enforcement duties, the Commission also responds to many requests for information about credit issues and consumer credit laws from consumers, industry, state law enforcement agencies, and the media.
The first issue raised in your letter is the definition of "predatory lending." The Commission has not defined the term "predatory lending," but has testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging about a number of abusive lending practices. These practices generally aim either to extract excessive fees and costs from the borrower or to obtain outright the equity in the borrower's home.
Among the most harmful of these reported practices is "equity-stripping. " This often begins with a loan that is based on equity in a property rather than on a borrower's ability to repay the loan -- a practice known as "asset-based lending." As a general rule, loans made to individuals who do not have the income to repay such loans usually are designed to fail; they frequently result in the lender acquiring the borrower's home equity.
Another practice of serious concern is "packing," which is the practice of adding credit insurance or other "extras" to increase the lender's profit on a loan. Typically, the insurance orother extra is included automatically as part of the loan package presented to the borrower at closing, and the premium is financed as part of the loan. The lender often fails to provide the borrower with prior notice about the insurance product and then rushes the borrower through the closing. Sometimes, the lender represents that the insurance "comes with the loan," perhaps implying that it is free. Other times, the lender simply may include the insurance in the loan closing papers with no explanation. In such a case, the borrower may not understand that the insurance is included or exactly what extra costs this product adds to the loan.
"Flipping" also has received attention. Lenders engage in this practice by inducing a consumer to refinance a loan, repeatedly, often within a short time frame, charging high points and fees each time. This causes the borrower's debt to increase steadily. While a consumer's option to refinance is an integral part of a functioning mortgage market, subprime lenders engaged in "flipping" may misrepresent to the borrower the terms and ultimate benefits of the transaction, or induce the borrower to take on more debt than she can handle.
Additional abuses can occur after loan origination in connection with loan servicing. Lenders may extract monies not owed under the loan terms. They also may fail to provide full or accurate pay-off information, thus tying the borrower to the lender without a means of escape.
One avenue that abusive lenders use to target consumers involves home improvement contractors. These contractors may obtain the borrower's consent for a loan with high rates and fees through the use of deception or coercion. In some cases, the contractor then performs lowquality work or no work at all.
Your letter also asks for the Commission's data on predatory lending. While the Commission does not have or collect data on predatory lending, the Commission has collected certain information in this area through its enforcement actions.
In March, the Commission announced a settlement, along with two other federal agencies, with Delta Funding Corporation, a large consumer finance company based in New York. The Commission alleged that Delta engaged in a pattern or practice of asset-based lending, in violation of HOEPA. Specifically, Delta extended loans to borrowers based on the borrower's collateral rather than considering the borrower's current and expected income, current obligations and employment status to determine whether the borrower was able to make the scheduled payments to repay the obligation. In these instances, prudent underwriting criteria, such as debt-to-income ratios, residual income, and repayment history, would have indicated that the borrower likely would have had difficulty repaying the loan. The settlement, which provided for nationwide injunctive relief, also included claims by the United States Department of Justice for race discrimination and by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. This is the first suit jointly brought by a group of federal agencies that combines allegations of consumer protection and fair lending violations by the same lender.
As part of "Operation Home Inequity," the Commission settled cases against seven lenders for violations of HOEPA in July 1999. All seven agreements provide substantial remedies and
protections for past and future borrowers. Six of the companies agreed to pay consumer redress totaling $572,500, two companies must obtain performance bonds before they offer or extend specified credit in the future, and one company is banned from any future involvement with high-cost loans secured by consumers' homes.
In January 1998, the Commission filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Capital City Mortgage Corporation, a Washington, DC-area mortgage lender, and its owner, alleging numerous violations of a number of federal laws resulting in serious injury to borrowers, including the loss of their homes. The company allegedly made home equity loans to minority, elderly, and low-income borrowers at interest rates as high as 2024 percent. Borrowers often faced foreclosure on their properties, after which the company would buy the properties at auction for prices much lower than the appraised value of the properties. The Commission's complaint in this matter alleges violations of the FTC Act, the TILA, the ECOA, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This matter is in litigation.
The Commission has a long enforcement history in the area of loans sold with credit insurance. Mostly recently, the Commission settled a case in 1997 against The Money Tree, a Georgia-based consumer finance lender, and its president. The case involved, in part, allegations that the company required consumers to purchase credit-related insurance and other "extras" along with their loans, without disclosing to consumers the true cost of their credit. In 1992, the Commission approved a consent agreement with Tower Loan of Mississippi settling similar charges regarding its consumer loans.
In addition to its own enforcement activities, the Commission also is taking several other steps to address reported abuses in the subprime home equity market. The Commission has been working with states to increase and coordinate enforcement efforts nationwide. On the federal level, the Commission has been participating in a task force convened by the Federal Reserve Board that examines the issue of predatory lending. The Commission also is educating consumers in order to help them avoid potential home equity lending abuses. For example, during National Consumer Protection Week in 1999, the Commission distributed 500,000 publications focused on credit, with an emphasis on abusive lending issues.
Enclosed for your further review are materials on the cases discussed above, as well as consumer brochures. I have also included a copy of the testimony provided to the Senate Special Committee on Aging in March 1998.
Thank you for your interest in these issues.
Robert Pitofsky

GOUVERNEUR A traffic stop Thursday by Gouverneur Village Police led to two arrests and the seizure of 15 pounds of marijuana.
Gouverneur Village Police Department arrested David J. Sawatis, 40, of 638 Donovan Road, Fort Covington, and Margaret Maggie P. Pyke-Mitchell, 37, of Cornwall, Ontario, and charged them each with first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Police said they stopped the vehicle, operated by Ms. Pike-Mitchell, for a cracked windshield on Route 11 in the village.
After receiving conflicting stories from the two, village police said, officers called in the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department K-9 unit, whose drug-sniffing dog helped find the marijuana inside a hidden compartment in the vehicle.
Ms. Pyke-Mitchell was also ticketed on a charge of operating a vehicle with broken glass, a violation. Mr. Sawatis and Ms. Pyke-Mitchell were arraigned by Gouverneur Town Judge Stanley H. Young Jr. and released on their own recognizance.
They are to return to town court at a later date.

She gazed at the stars. It wasn't hard to admire the subtle and overwhelming contrast of the delicate twinkling of the stars against the heavy drop of inky blackness. It was rather surprising to her that she could almost forget that something so beautiful existed over her head every night.
Now all she needed was her epiphany. She hoped it would come soon. She slapped at her leg. With the itchy bug bites on her legs and an ache in her back from the uncomfortable position she was forced to sit in, the excitement of roof-climbing was starting to wane.
She concentrated even harder on the stars. It was so... big. There must be an epiphany somewhere up there for me to read, she thought. Instead she just began to feel small. And silly.
After all, she was just a strange girl perched on top of her roof for no particular reason. That's all she could think of herself. Strange. There wasn't really anything terribly special about her. She couldn't run a mile very fast or learn music by simply listening to it or put computers back together. She didn't consider herself that smart or kind or athletic and she had given up trying to be cool a long time ago. Besides, she didn't really want to be all that anyway. She learned that what she really wanted was to be a good story-teller. She wanted to make people laugh. She wanted to jump off things and explore and admit her feelings and be brave. Maybe that's why she climbed the roof in the first place.
The roof-climber thought about all this and looked at the stars again. They didn't care about any of that, she thought. Neither did the rocks on the ground. Nor did the sheets on her bed, the water in the ocean or most of the people that roamed the earth. And if nobody and nothing cared about her, perhaps she didn't really matter.
To her surprise, she felt relief at this thought. I don't matter. She saw herself as she really was:a blip. A stray mark, a smudge amongst the swirls of every other living thing, every non-living thing. Plants and planets and time and other things that kind of exist but not really.
And she felt relief. Never had she realized how connected she was to everything... and how simultaneously free she was. She was free. Free to do as she pleased. To live her life or to not live her life. To care about what she'd like to care about with no good reason. To become a good story-teller. To make people laugh. To jump off things and explore and admit her feelings and to be brave.
To climb on roofs.
The world, the universe was open to her. She was free.
She squeezed her eyes shut and carefully tucked away her thoughts for safe-keeping. She had a feeling, as she climbed off the roof, down the ladder, that they would be important to remember.

I am pondering making some fabric covered items that will receive some handling and therefore wear -- they will have some metallic surfaces -- commercially printed and printed by me -- metallics often wedar off -- any ideas on the type of product i could spray to maintain the metallics ???
If you think the piece will recieve a lot of handling, a spray is probably not your best bet. You may want to brush on a coat of an acrylic sealant. Maybe some matte fabric medium? Brushing on the medium will soak into the fibers better. note that it can change the color and hand of the fabric to use any kind of sealant.

LIVINGSTON — With the start of a new budget year, Livingston utility customers will see small increase in the customer base service charge as part of the budget passed in September by Livingston City Council. Residential customers base service fee will go from $7.50 to $10 a month. In reviewing the 2012 fiscal year, City Manager Marilyn Sutton said that the City of Livingston had an upturn in the local economy overall. She projects cash receipts to continue to grow for the coming year. For the FY 2013 budget Sutton is projecting cash receipts of $5,437,060, which is $32,294,42 more than the preceding year. That calls for a 2 percent increase in sales tax receipts and a slight increase in gross revenue and franchise fees. "We anticipate that hotel occupancy tax revenues will remain relatively flat as will municipal court fines and fees and park and recreation and library fees," Sutton said in her budget transmittal to council members. Sanitation fees will increase to an 8 percent rate increase as well as new commercial businesses that will open in the new fiscal year, she added. Operating expenses are expected to increase $148,375 (2.94 percent) due to a 2.5 percent cost of living adjustment for all employees, a 5 percent increase in employee health insurance costs and a 1.6 percent increase in retirement costs. Sutton said the city will continue the hiring freeze imposed in 2010 and no new positions were included in the 2012-2013 budget. The council approve the issuance of $6 million in certificates of obligation to fund renovations to the Wadsworth building on Tyler Street for a new 17,500 square foot library. Sutton said Tuesday five proposals were opened Tuesday and they will be reviewed and scored so they can be presented to City Council at their next meeting Oct. 9. One of the items on the agenda will be to make a recommendation to council on the selection of a construction manager at risk for the library project. Also during the September meeting, Sutton announced that Code Enforcement Staff plans to begin working with the owners of empty commercial and residential property on Church, Houston and Washington streets to encourage them to renovate or demolish structures that do not meet existing building codes. "They will meet individually with property owners to see what we can do to get them to either renovate the property or remove the structure so that we don't have a decaying building in the downtown business district," Sutton said. She also reported there has been a great deal of activity in many buildings in the Main Street area.

Newnan's July 4th parade canceled
by CELIA SHORTT
The rain and inclement weather hitting Newnan and the north Georgia area has made it necessary for city officials to cancel the Newnan Independence Day parade.
"Due to the strong likelihood of inclement weather, resulting in safety concerns for parade entries, attendees, volunteers, and staff, the City of Newnan's Fourth of July Parade has been canceled," said city Business Development Director Hasco W. Craver IV on Wednesday. "The parade will not be rescheduled for a later date," he said.
Craver said the city urges all community members to attend the Rotary Club of Newnan's annual fireworks display, which has been rescheduled for July 13, at Newnan High School's Drake Stadium. The fireworks event will begin at 6 p.m. The community celebration is a free event.
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Coweta County and much of north Georgia through Friday morning, with rainfall of as much as 4-6 inches likely, according to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City.
The forecast shows a 100 percent chance of heavy rain today, and a 90 percent chance of heavy rain tonight.
Approximately 4.5 inches of rain fell in Newnan on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Rotary Club officials made the decision to postpone the fireworks show.
"It's a safety issue, 100 percent," said Walt Thompson, Newnan Rotary president.
Thompson also said that the Rotary Club had to consider that the football field at Drake Stadium couldn't be used if it rained. Volunteer workers would have to fight the rain all day, and it would make setup difficult since most of it would be done Thursday morning.
On July 13, attendees may arrive at the stadium at Newnan High School on LaGrange Street starting at 6 p.m.
This year's fireworks extravaganza will be the 28th annual Independence Day celebration at Drake Stadium. The annual event is sponsored by the Newnan Rotary Club, Coweta County, the City of Newnan, Coweta County Schools and Coweta businesses, as a gift to the community.

Waterford - There was a time when Waterford coach Rob Von Achen lauded Kerrianne Dugan as having "the best work ethic of any player I've had."
And all you had to do is watch Dugan's New London High School girls' basketball team play Tuesday night - against Waterford - to know why Von Achen's words are truer now more than ever.
"Not at all," Von Achen said, asked if he was surprised to see New London's toughness. "They take after their coach. Kerrianne was that kind of player. Tough. And she's done an absolutely phenomenal job; she's turned the program around."
Dugan, in her first season as New London's coach, turned her homecoming at the Waterford Field House into a 52-35 victory over her alma mater.
Dugan, a 2007 Waterford graduate, was a 1,000-point scorer and all-state player under Von Achen, playing in two state championship games. Her sister, Kelley, is a senior on the Waterford team.
New London, 2-18 a season ago, is now 7-4 overall, one game away from qualifying for the state tournament for the first time since any of the current players have been in high school.
The Whalers last made the tournament in 2009, going 8-52 since that time.
"It's really exciting," said New London junior Lexus Childs-Harris, who led the Whalers with 19 points against Waterford. "After last year being kind of down - and I'm not down on last year - I think the adrenaline just gets to me."
Sophomore guard Deanna McCarvell, who wears the uniform number 1 and is shaped like it, too, pencil-thin, added 17 points for the Whalers, including four 3-pointers.
New London boxed out exceedingly well, scoring five times off of offensive rebounds just in the first quarter to take a 13-6 lead. Childs-Harris and freshman Charee Osborne gave the Whalers a 4-0 lead with two immediate conversions off offensive rebounds.
The Whalers also hit their free throws, going 12-for-18.
"I'm really tough on them. I'll say it," Dugan, who went on to play for Division I Central Connecticut State University, said of her expectations for her new team. "But I try to stay on their level. I try not to be this mean, hard coach.
"I'm extremely lucky. People were saying to me, 'Oh my gosh, you took the New London job.' But I have so much talent. It just needs to be pushed in the right direction. ... It's a blast. It really is."
Von Achen said last year Dugan came to practice a few times to help coach his Waterford players. He could tell then that Dugan would have a rapport with whatever team she eventually coached.
"I wouldn't be surprised in three or four years to see her as an assistant coach at some college," Von Achen said. "She's a great kid."
Kelley Dugan, who missed the first part of the season with a knee injury, was in the starting lineup against the Whalers and shook her sister's hand along with the rest of the Waterford starters. Kerrianne gave her a playful shove.
"It was definitely weird, playing here against coach and my sister," Dugan said. "I think it was the hardest for my parents (John and Julie). You look up at the (conference) championship banner and remember how much fun we had.
"Playing here was the best time of my life, playing basketball with all my best friends and coach."
Sarah Pacheco, a sophomore, was the leading scorer for Waterford with 11. The Lancers, already playing without senior Megan Spellman (knees, out for the season) and freshman Shea Spellman (ankle), lost starting center Julia Zawacki to an ankle injury in the first quarter Tuesday. She was helped off the court.
New London led 27-18 at halftime.

Area residents will get a fresh look at three restricted wildlife management areas in Jefferson and St. Lawrence County during a special 14-day period starting Aug. 16.
During the period, the Perch River WMA in Jefferson County and Upper and Lower Lakes and Wilson Hill WMAs in St. Lawrence County, including their wetland areas, will be open for visitors. The areas are usually off-limits in order ot provide feeding and resting areas for migratory waterfowl.
"These special areas offer a variety of natural habitats for people to experience and provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, said Judy Drabicki, DEC Regional Director, in a statement. "Opening these refuge wetland areas to the public for a limited period gives visitors a chance to connect with nature through hiking, canoeing and bird watching, with minimal impacts on wildlife."
Among the animals that make their home in the restricted wetland are bald eagles, black terns, and northern harriers, also referred to as marsh hawks. The open visitation period happens around the end of the nesting and brooding period, and before the start of the fall migration period.
The 7,800-acre Perch River management area, established in the late 1940s, can be accessed from Route 12, Allen Rd., Buckminster Road, Vaadi Road and Perch Lake Road. Access to the lake will be open from noon until 9 p.m. each of the 14 days. Fishing will be allowed, but no motorized boats, the DEC said.
The 8,770-acre Upper and Lower Lakes area is about two miles west of Canton on Route 68. The 3,434-acre Wilson Hill area is located six miles west of Massena on Route 37. The DEC said it features several large pools of marsh, "bordered by a combination of dense cattails, brushy wetlands, forest and upland meadow."
More information about the open period, or to find bird lists and maps, contact the department's regional office at 785-2263 or visit http://wdt.me/eNAgQ9.

Written Answers - Planning Issues.
Thursday, 3 March 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
223. Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has satisfied himself that corruption has ended in the planning process; his views on the increase in the number of cases of builders receiving retentions for planning breaches; and his proposals to safeguard the planning system. [7467/05]
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche): The Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments was established in 1997 to investigate acts of planning corruption, and is continuing its work. To date, it has issued four interim reports. While the tribunal has, to date, not issued recommendations for legislative change, the Government has already introduced various new measures to prevent acts of corruption in the planning process.
The Planning and Development Act 2000 extended the existing rules relating to ethics for planning authority staff. Part 15 of the Local Government Act 2001 introduced a comprehensive ethics regime for councillors and local government employees, which came into effect on 1 January 2003. This regime includes an annual declaration of interests, disclosure of interests as a matter arises, and a public register of interests. This regime was further enhanced by the national codes of conduct for councillors and employees, which issued last year.
The Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 and the Standards in Public Office Act 2001 also introduced measures in the areas of disclosure of interests and conduct of public officials. Under the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act 2001, corruption is presumed where there is proof that certain persons in public office have received money or other benefits from a person who has [235]an interest in the outcome of decisions, including planning decisions.
The decision as to whether a person obtains permission to retain an unauthorised development rests with the planning authority and An Bord Pleanála on appeal. My Department has no function in this area, other than potentially to offer advice in any relevant case regarding the protection of the built and natural heritage.
Decisions on enforcement in particular cases are a matter for the planning authorities in question. Part VIII of the Planning and Development Act 2000 greatly simplified the existing statutory provisions to make it easier for planning auth[236]orities to take enforcement action in cases of breaches in the planning code.
The enforcement provisions in the Planning Act were commenced on 11 March 2002. While it is early to gauge the impact on the overall level of enforcement activity by planning authorities, figures on enforcement actions by planning authorities in 2003 indicate that there has been an increase in the level of convictions, as compared to 2002.
I am satisfied that the planning legislation gives planning authorities sufficient powers to enforce planning and development control. However, I will continue to keep the implementation of the enforcement provisions of the 2000 Act under review.

Homeopathic Pain Remedy With Herbal Support
Fibro Relief combines a natural formula for homeopathic fibromyalgia relief with an herbal formula to support healthy muscle and tendon tissue function. The ingredients in Fibro Relief™ are designed to help:
- Relieve muscle tightness and pain
- Restore freedom of movement
- Support normal activity and sleep patterns
Fibro Relief began with an herbal formula by Elijah Free, a master herbalist practicing near San Francisco, California. He found that over time, a particular combination of herbs could dramatically reduce the fibrous deposits that keep the muscles from relaxing. In 2007, he was awarded US Patent no. 7,297,352 for this discovery. Fibro Relief contains this same all-natural herbal formula, coupled with a homeopathic formula for muscle pain relief.
Fibro Relief is designed to attack the problem at its source, by supporting the healthy processes that help fascia tissue remain loose and pliable so that the muscles can fully relax. Noticeable results should be felt within 4 weeks, and should continue to improve for some months, depending on how long symptoms have been present, since fibromyalgia that has been deeply established for years may not respond as quickly as more recently developed cases.
A Body in Motion!
The human body was designed for activity. The bones pivot on joints, moved by the muscles and tendons, which are fed by blood vessels and controlled by nerves. The muscles are made of long strands of muscle cells encased in a network of fibrous sheathing. This network of sheathing, called the fascia, is the thing that allows an entire group of muscle cells to pull together as one.
Fibromyalgia occurs when this fascia, or sheathing, becomes inflamed, increasing the bulk of the muscle with thick ropy knots of hard fibrous tissue that can be felt under the skin. These deposits stretch the fascia, causing the muscle to be under constant tension, and never able to completely relax. This constant tension causes muscle fatigue, pain, tenderness, and sleep disturbances, which in turn can lead to a host of other symptoms, including mood swings, depression, a weaker immune system, digestive issues, and many other related problems.
Fibromyalgia often responds to regular deep-tissue massage therapy, especially over the long term. It can also be helped with an anti-inflammatory diet. For example, you should reduce or eliminate refined sugars and starches, saturated fats, fried foods, alcohol, tobacco, and foods in the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, paprika, and tomatillos). You should also increase your intake
of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids (in nuts, fish, and olive or avocado oil).

Simi commission wants more information on Vineyards plan
The Simi Valley Planning Commission directed the owners of the Vineyards/Candlelight Kitchen & Bar to continue talking with neighbors for solutions to ongoing parking and noise problems.
The commission, in a 4-1 vote Wednesday, sent back to city staff an application asking for a conditional use permit to allow amplified music as well as dancing in an existing portion of the facility, known as Candlelight, a popular nightclub. The business also wants to expand its banquet facilities and make other improvements.
Once the issue of overflow parking and loud music is resolved, the permit application could be revisited in June, planning officials said.
Commissioner Keith Mashburn at the beginning of the three-hour meeting asked if there are different requirements for the various uses at the site, which includes a wedding and banquet venue, a restaurant, a bar and a nightclub.
Paul Drury, the city's acting deputy director for environmental services, said the business' primary use is a restaurant/banquet/bar facility — all allowed in the commercial planned development zone.
Candlelight's co-owner, Garner Gerson, said the property gets 85 percent of its business between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
But that fact could lead to more problems for the business.
After the meeting, Drury noted the city permit, as well as the state Alcoholic Beverage Control license, is valid for a restaurant and a bar, where alcohol sales cannot exceed food sales. If the vast majority of business is coming in after 10 p.m., it would appear alcohol would be the driving force.
"If they did do that, they would not be allowed there at all," Drury said after the meeting.
Mashburn said Candlelight is "over-serving" customers.
"I had the impression this was a restaurant," Mashburn said. "It's a nightclub. Patrons are leaving and causing DUIs."
Mashburn asked Simi Valley Police Lt. Mike King how many DUIs could be traced back to patrons of the business.
Of the 44 DUIs in the city in December, King said six involved drivers who came from Candlelight, the highest number of any establishment in the city. In the last 30 days, there were 10 DUI arrests, and two involved people leaving Candlelight.
Gerson said he believes his business is getting punished for its success. He said he would turn in his keys now, if the Planning Commission said so.
"I'm sorry we're successful. Should we pack up and go?" Gerson asked.
About 30 people came out to speak on the proposal for amplified music and dancing.
About 15 people spoke in favor of the restaurant and bar, including Victor Salas, a private attorney from Oxnard. He observed "well-behaved young people" in the six or seven times he's been there, and said he appreciates the sophisticated atmosphere.
One issue for neighbors is the music, which they say can be heard until 2 a.m. Currently, music is only allowed inside the building, but the owners are asking that music be permitted outside.
The city's noise ordinance does not allow amplified music after 10 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on weekends, police said.
Neighbors are also upset that Candlelight parking overflows into their neighborhoods. They say people going to their cars are intoxicated and causing problems.
Michael Moore, a resident on the corner of Barnard Street, said he has found broken rum bottles in his flower bed.
"Nobody has a problem with weddings or a restaurant," Moore said. "But a nightclub is a festering pus sore in the neighborhood."
After almost three hours of public comment, the commission voted to send the issue back to city staff. The lone dissenting vote, Commissioner Jim Dantona, said he wanted to move forward with the application with the possibility of additional conditions.
The conditions could include establishing residential permit-only parking in the surrounding neighborhoods at the expense of the restaurant and requiring tokens at the door from patrons after they properly parked their cars with a valet.
But the other commissioners said there were too many problems that must be solved before the restaurant's requests can be approved.
The applicant is also asking for a 1,720-square-foot kitchen preparation and storage area on the north side of the building; approval of two unpermitted exterior wooden decks with glass panels; construction of a concrete ramp leading to an exterior deck surrounded by a masonry wall, and a redesigned parking lot to increase spaces from 176 to 207.
Drury said he would like the issue to go back to the Planning Commission on June 3.

I've been hearing it my whole life, but now it's unavoidable: I'm long-winded. (Or, for those with Long-Winded Explanation Disorder: I'm Thorough.) I have, apparently, recorded 50 minutes (after editing!) of video on Link Building Campaign Design.
While the short version is only seven minutes and has been uploaded to YouTube, the longer version is eating my CPU for breakfast for the next 109 minutes. It's a big breakfast.
In this week's video on Link Building Campaign Design, you will discover the following:
- Defining Link Building Campaign Objectives
- Defining Key Results that, if achieved, unquestionably demonstrate that the objective has also been achieved.
- Discovering your Linkable Assets and how to align them with your Key Results.
- Discovering your Link Opportunity Types and how to align them with both your Key Results and your Linkable Assets.
- Designing and implementing Recurring Action Steps that incorporate your Linkable Assets with your Link Opportunity Types in a way that brings you to achieve your Key Results.
- Implementing the practice of Recurring Improvement so that your Link Building Campaigns become more effective over time.
In the longer version, I go much more in-depth into each of these areas. Additionally, you'll discover:
- Why relationships are the most valuable Linkable Asset you can have.
- The single most important question that should guide every step of every link building campaign.
- A step-by-step process for initiating valuable relationships on Twitter.
