Accelerating vehicle prices to rein in local salesComment on this story
Anticipated higher-than-inflation new vehicle price increases caused by the depreciation of the rand and a still depressed economy are expected to dent domestic vehicle sales this year.
The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of SA (Naamsa) is forecasting only minimal growth in sales, with overall sales due to rise by 0.2 percent to 652 000 units from 650 620 units last year.
This projection comprises a marginal decline in new car sales to 450 000 units from 450 440 units last year; growth of 0.45 percent in light commercial vehicle sales to 170 000 units from 169 234 units last year; a 3.5 percent increase in medium commercial vehicles to 12 000 units from 11 595 units; and a 3.4 percent rise in heavy commercial vehicle sales to 20 000 units from 19 351 units.
Azar Jammine, the chief economist at Econometrix, said yesterday that the forecast for domestic new passenger vehicle sales was realistic but that for commercial vehicles it was "unduly pessimistic given the momentum of sales that has been built up in these segments in recent months".
Jammine said the impact of declining overall economic growth could be expected to cause passenger vehicle sales to decline this year, but this needed to be weighed up against the continuing boost to foreign tourism, and therefore the vehicle rental market, caused by the rand's depreciation to its lowest level in purchasing power terms since the recession of 2008/09.
He said on balance Econometrix anticipated growth in domestic passenger vehicle sales of between zero and 2 percent this year.
But Jammine said Econometrix would not be surprised if the medium and heavy commercial vehicle segments experienced growth of 5 percent or even more this year.
"The momentum built up in sales of heavier commercial vehicles in recent months is fundamental and unlikely to be reversed immediately. In addition, we believe that the government's infrastructural investment drive will ensure that there is ongoing replacement of heavier commercial vehicles."
Nico Vermeulen, Naamsa's executive director, said domestic new vehicle sales last year recorded year-on-year growth for the fourth consecutive year, although at 3.2 percent it was below Naamsa's original expectations of about 7.3 percent.
Vermeulen attributed this primarily to the slowdown in the economy coupled with above-inflation average new vehicle price increases.
He said Naamsa anticipated that expected new vehicle price increases exceeding the inflation rate would for the second consecutive year be the key factor affecting sales this year.
However, Vermeulen said there were a number of positive factors that could lend support to the industry. These included, among others, the low interest rate environment and substantial ramp-up in public infrastructure spending.
Vermeulen added that demand by the car rental industry was expected to remain strong this year and should continue to make a positive contribution on the back of further expected growth in tourism and business travel.
Sydney Soundy, the head of vehicle asset finance at Standard Bank, said last year was the third best year for domestic vehicle sales and the baseline from which to project growth this year was fairly high.
Taking into account this and the prevailing factors that would be influential on the domestic market, growth this year was likely to be muted at about 2 percent, he said.

Auburn Soccer Defeats Mississippi State, 2-0
October 11, 2002
Sarah PowersAUBURN- The Auburn Tiger soccer team (10-3, 2-1 SEC) earned another shutout in SEC play as they defeated Mississippi State (4-9, 1-2 SEC) with a score of 2-0 here Friday night. The shutout brings Auburn to a total of eight for the season and was Mississippi State's first time, in 16 games, to be shutout, dating back to Oct. 25 2001 against Florida.Auburn put the pressure on MSU early in the game. The MSUdefense was pressed against their own goal for the first four minutes, as the Tigers repeatedly attacked. It did not take long for Auburn to capitalize on their opportunities.In the third minute of play, Sarah Steinmann was able to make arun down the left side, towards the endline. Beating her defender, Steinmann was able to cut in and send a low cross in the box. Courtney Hubert, the MSU goalkeeper, made a dive to smother the ball but just fell out of reach. A waiting Sara Powers was able to slot the ball in the net from about six yards out."We knew we had to come out and play strong," Power said."It was great to put up a win against Mississippi State after losing to them last year."

In last May, a very vital verdict was issued in San Diego, on the subject of long-lost copyrights. It is expected to have a huge favorable impact on the lives of musicians, especially the ones of the bygone era.
In the mid-1970s, an amendment was made to the law of copyright songs. It allowed songwriters to claims their creations back after a period of 35 years. This amendment aimed at assisting those composers who had previously made an ignorant decision of signing away the right of their songs to others.
The profound importance of this law was not realized by many as hardly anybody had reached the recommended 35-year mar. However, that was until this year. Now, a sudden rush is noticed in the trend where musicians of yesteryears are all in a hurry to reclaim their songs' rights. And the list of these musicians includes some big names like Dylan, Springsteen, Joel, and the Eagles to name a few.
It must be mentioned here that the aforementioned amendment held a clause which explained that in case the songwriter who signed away his/her rights was hired at the time (by a music company), then they would not be eligible to use this law.
Keeping this clause in consideration, numerous music publishing companies started claiming that every one of these composers who had previously signed away their song rights, were actually working for the music label at the time of signing the deeds and thus were unfit to use this law on copyright music.
This law was first tested by the case from San Diego. Understandably, the judge over-ruled the music company's causes, stating that just signing away the song rights by the composer does not signify that the composer was working for the company at that time. The court also explained that "working for a company" means that the composer had to be employed by the music or publishing company during the signing of the rights.
This law on copyright song and the San Diego court's verdict has thus smoothened the path for those composers who had signed away the rights of their songs to music companies over 35 years back and now want to get those rights back!

I spent the morning of my last full day in Anguilla half-heartedly throwing things into my suitcase and cleaning up around the house. My intent was to take care of all of the depressing tasks so that I could spend every last second I had left on island enjoying myself. When I finished, I decided to try not to think about leaving again until I had no other choice.
By that time, it was time for me to meet a friend for lunch at DaVida restaurant anyway, so I happily left the suitcase and all the sad reminders of my upcoming departure behind.
The lovely meal that we had at DaVida was delicious and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere on the shore of Crocus Bay. We just sat there chatting for a long while and while I wished I could stretch it and make it last, my friend eventually had to go to work.
So what else is there to do when time on your favorite island is fleeting? Why, hit a beach bar, of course! Elvis' Beach Bar, to be exact. So that's where I headed and where I spent the rest of the afternoon sipping the delicious fruity frozen drinks that Elvis makes so well and chatting with the fun people hanging out there. A group of kids there decided that my name was easy to remember because they just had to think of "Crabby Patty" from the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon. An older gentleman thought I reminded him of a friend that he lost track of many moons ago, and was I sure my name wasn't Susie? Then Captain Rollins, who sails the catamaran "The Chocolat" showed up and that's when the hilarity truly began! The man is a riot, I tell you and I just remember laughing harder and having more fun from that point on.
I will spare you the details, but I spent much of the rest of this night saying goodbye to friends, some of whom showed up at Elvis', but also a few that I met up with elsewhere. It's not a fun experience, but I try to keep in mind that I'm sure to come back soon to see everyone again. That's the point in every trip where the sadness really starts to creep in. Unfortunately, since I lack the ability to slow down the passing of time, I had to head home to sleep in order to have the energy to travel home the next day.
When I got up the next morning, my 10th day on the island, it was time for the dreaded drive to the ferry to leave the island. I hate it. A lot of people don't understand when I tell them that I actually shed tears whenever I leave Anguilla, but maybe that means that they haven't yet made the same connection to a place as I have to AXA. I have good friends there. The peace and quiet relaxes me there. My soul is happy there. Those of you who have your own special connection to a place will understand why I cried all the way to the ferry dock and had to work hard to hold back tears in front of everyone there.
The ferry ride to St. Maarten seemed to pass slowly but, somehow, I still managed to hold it all together. In my head, I said goodbye to Anguilla and promised to come back as soon as possible. It's not like I really have any choice in the matter since the island just seems to find ways to pull me back whenever I've been away too long. I consider myself lucky to have found a place and a community of people that make me so happy. My plan has always been to travel to many different places around the world, but I'm not really sure how that's going to happen as long as there is an Anguilla waiting for me…

Decommissioned ships of the US Navy are typically held in reserve, not so much as a reserve, but until the decision is made as to what their final disposition will be. The primary fate of most is to face the breakers yard, to be dismantled, and recycled.
The other fate is SINKEX. Live fire training is as important afloat as it is ashore. And while some relatively low cost targets can be built with barges and shipping containers, there's nothing like shooting at real ships.
Here's two examples of SINKEX, both from RIMPAC 2008.
Take note that it takes quite a few bombs to sink a ship. As the saying goes, you don't sink ships by punching holes in them above the waterline. But then again, nor do the ships have aboard any of the highly flammable items aboard that a working warship would.

Hot Starts
COMPANY: Medical Foods Inc.
HEADQUARTERS: Cambridge, Mass.
TYPE OF BUSINESS: Medical products with therapeutic and preventive health benefits
FOUNDERS: Bob Jones, 48; Maurice Strong, 66, an environmentalist; and John Preston, 46, the former director of the MIT Technology Licensing Office
CAPITAL: $1 million from investors, including Technology Development Corp.; currently raising an additional $3 million to $4 million
KEY COMPETITION: Baker Norton Pharmaceuticals' Zbar, and potentially every large company with a medical-food product in the works
COMPETITIVE STRATEGY: Get to market first with highly palatable medical foods
"Many of the nutritional products on the market today designed to treat chronic conditions taste like vomit," says Bob Jones, president of Medical Foods, a tiny start-up that, with MIT management skills and Harvard Medical School brains, is taking on the NestlÉ Foods and Bristol-Myers Squibbs of the world with this simple strategy: make clinically proven products that taste good.
Incorporated in 1994, Medical Foods makes foods that act like medicine, to treat conditions from diabetes to arthritis. The market is potentially so vast--estimates of its total worth range from $10 billion to $250 billion a year--that nearly every major food manufacturer and pharmaceutical giant is investigating the field.
NiteBite is the company's first product. It's a chocolate-fudge-flavored snack bar designed to help diabetics manage nocturnal hypoglycemia, caused by low blood sugar (glucose). The company's scientific team, comprising Jones and three Harvard Medical Schoolaffiliated scientists, concocted the mixture of sucrose, protein, and uncooked cornstarch. NiteBite gradually releases glucose into the bloodstream, where it lasts for six hours or more. Of a potential market made up of the country's estimated 2.7 million insulin-using diabetics who are at risk for hypoglycemia, a "5% penetration with NiteBite is quite achievable, and 10% very doable," says Jones, a health-care-industry veteran.
At approximately a dollar a bar, NiteBite has a price point similar to that of its chief competitor, Zbar, but according to Jones, it has a distribution model "totally upside-down" from the traditional, pharmaceutically driven one. Rather than taking the typical approach of first targeting physicians and pharmacists, Medical Foods sells its products directly to the consumer, initially through a toll-free number. It then uses satisfied customers as mini ambassadors for its products by asking them where they would like to see the products carried and then contacting the places they recommend. "It's incredibly grassroots and incredibly effective," says Jones. "As a brand-new, unknown company, ordinarily we wouldn't have a chance of getting into places like Wal-Mart. Now Wal-Mart's calling us."
Current Food and Drug Administration regulations affecting the manufacture and distribution of products like those made by Medical Foods are "a gray area," concedes the FDA's Judy Foulke. But that doesn't deter Jones, who says Medical Foods' products will always "meet or exceed" any FDA requirements. He puts projected 1997 revenues at $10 million, and predicts a breakeven date of late 1997. His confidence isn't shaken by a nasty lawsuit filed by deep-pocketed competitor Baker Norton, the maker of Zbar. In fact, Jones is already looking beyond the suit to Medical Foods' next challenge: this spring it plans to introduce its second product, which will lower cholesterol. Also in development are medical foods designed to alleviate arthritis, combat colon cancer, and assist HIV patients. "I want patients for life," says Jones.

With the recent 1.2 update, players of SWTOR got access to a handful of new mini-pets. When the Rakghoul plague event went live, players got a few more. Now mind you, these haven't been a whole slew of wildly different mini-pets, but really more just variants of Orokeets, young Taun Tauns, and undersized Rakghouls. Still, most players seem to be responding to them very positively.
This, of course, leads to our question of the day: what other kinds of mini-pets do you want to see in the future? More mini droids, like those from the Collector's Edition of the game? More birds and other baby Star Wars animals? How about more pets that are themed according to world events?
Leave us your thoughts in the comments below: we want to hear your thoughts, hopes, and opinions about the future of mini-pets in SWTOR?

November 25, 2015
ENTERPRISE, Ala. (AP) - A February construction date has been set for rebuilding one of two schools in Enterprise that were destroyed by a March 1st tornado.
At a meeting last night, members of the Enterprise Board of Education were told construction for Hillcrest Elementary will start February 11th.
Bids on the project will be accepted from December 12th through January 22nd. A vote on the winning bid would be taken by the school board on January 30th.
School officials said the contractor will be given 520 days to complete Hillcrest.
No firm date was set for rebuilding Enterprise High School. School administrators do not plan to advertise for bids until next July. The new high school is expected to take almost 2 years to complete.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Some same-sex couples in New Mexico will get to experience for the first time what married couples go through every spring - sorting through joint tax returns.
Married gay couples will be able to officially file joint returns by April 15.
Santa Fe County Commissioner Liz Stefanics and Linda Siegle, a lobbyist for Equality New Mexico, told the Santa Fe New Mexican (http://bit.ly/1cGMOK0) they are happy about filing jointly, but not just because it will mean a bigger tax refund.
"It's a level of protection that heterosexual couples have that those of us who are gay and lesbian would like to have also, and now . we do," Siegle said.
They were the first same-sex couple to get a marriage license in Santa Fe County when the county clerk decided to issue them in August.
The U.S. Supreme Court last summer struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that denied federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
The federal government then said all same-sex couples' legal marriages will be recognized for federal tax purposes. According to the IRS, gay couples who were legally wed as of Dec. 31, 2013, can amend their tax returns going back to 2010.
The New Mexico Supreme Court decided in December it was unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, making New Mexico the 17th state to recognize same-sex unions.
Peter Doniger, a district coordinator for the AARP Foundation's Tax-Aide, said these couples can still file separately. It just depends on which status is more beneficial, he said.
"If they're legally married, they are in the same boat as anyone who is married . there are not separate rules," Doniger said.
Claudia Sanchez, a 70-year-old retired nurse who also married her spouse in Santa Fe in August, said just being able to have the option is a joy.
"We've felt a sense of complete freedom that we didn't have before," Sanchez said. "It's a sense that other people have taken for granted that we never had."

When Goop teamed up with Butter London last year on an "exclusive trifecta of lacquers," we couldn't get our embarrassingly unpolished fingers on the Gwyneth-approved shades fast enough. Now, Goop x Butter London is back—and it's even better the second time around, as GP's giving us three different polish combos to choose from.
First, there's "Candy Coated," a mix of perfectly springtime-appropriate pastels that have us dreaming of Easter eggs. Meanwhile, "The Stones" is a set of jewel-toned metallics worthy of a rock star's wife (so…Gwyneth herself?). And "Starkers," as its name suggests, consists of three nude shades of varying depth. We like to think there's a Tony Stark/Iron Man joke in there somewhere, too.
Each set costs $40—and there's also a $28 top and base coat pairing you can pick up to finish off your manicure. Click through to shop the collab now, and let us know: which beauty company should Goop work with next?

GrassMoots racer George Lapierre closes the book on another season in Willistion, Vermont. From the sounds of it he had a good season and is looking forward to the "other" seasons headed his way. He writes….
Here in Vermont the days are getting shorter and the sun is setting on another riding season. In the Northeast we get to experience the whole spectrum of seasons. Spring (we call it mud season) Summer (tourist season) Fall (more tourist season) and Winter (skiing tourist season.) We even have a season between Fall and Winter, when the trails are covered with leaves that used to be on the trees, called Stick season.
This biking season flew by. Spring road miles gave way to bare trails, races were raced, some podiums were climbed and some outright failures were had. I got to travel to bike, bike to travel and explore new local trails. Old friends were visited, new friends were made, and I continued to be amazed at where my bike could take me. As the season progressed, I even got a little tired of biking. Eventually, between adding on to the house and starting school again, I had to relegate my riding to commuting, and run for exercise (not as much fun…..any sport that you can't coast downhill isn't maximizing the fun factor) But, as seasons change, along with our time constraints, there are some friends that are always ready for adventure. I know my bike, whether 'cross, commuter or single speed, always able to take me to new places, old places, and everywhere in between.

Off and on for the past few weeks, I been playing around with making a
simulator in
. Everything was going along pretty well, I had a DiceRoller object that was responsible for rolling the dice, and publishing events to all RollListeners that were registered to it.
public interface RollListener { void rollOccurred(RollEvent event); }
I then created a Bet interface that extended the RollListener interface.
public interface Bet extends RollListener { public enum Status { ACTIVE, WON, LOST; } Status getStatus(); BetType getType(); int getAmount(); CrapsPlayer getPlayer(); int getRollCount(); int getPoint(); }
The tedious portion would be coding the myriad of concrete classes to represent the logic for each Bet:
public class PassBet implements Bet{} //... public class DontPassBet implements Bet{} //... public class Hard6Bet implements Bet{}
The Bets would all basically do the same thing, when a RollEvent was fired, they would examine the RollEvent and see if it meant they won, lost, or just continued on. If they won, they would calculate the payout based upon the amount bet, and then transfer that amount to the player via CrapsPlayer.acceptWinnings(int). If they lost, they would do nothing but change their status to Status.LOST, and the CrapsTable would take care of unregistering them as listeners to the DieRoller. After coding about three of the concrete Bet implementations, I just got bored with the whole idea. Then I came across
paper from the jMock guys about creating an EDSL in Java. Inspired by the coolness of it all, I decided to develop my Bet system to be a blatant plagiarism of jMock's declarative style. Now I can declare all my Bets using their own *special-syntax* like:
/** Win when 7, or 11 comes on the first roll, or when a point comes after the first roll. Lose when 2, 3, 0r 12 comes on the first roll, or when a 7 comes after the first roll*/ Bet passLineBet = new BetBuilder(BetType.PASS) .amount(AMOUNT) .winOn(or( and(or(any(7), any(11)), firstRoll()), and(point(), not(firstRoll())) )) .loseOn(or( and(or(any(2), any(3), any(12)), firstRoll()), and(any(7), not(firstRoll())) )) .payout(evenMoney()) .payWinningsTo(player) .toBet(); /*Win if the first roll is 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. If you don't win, you automatically lose (its a one-roll bet). If you win, even money gets paid to PLAYER.*/ final BetEvaluator winners = and(or(any(2), any(3), any(4), any(9), any(10), any(11), any(12)), firstRoll()); Bet fieldBet= new BetBuilder(BetType.FIELD) .amount(AMOUNT) .winOn(winners) .loseOn(not(winners)) .payout(evenMoney()) .payWinningsTo(PLAYER) .toBet();
any(int) is a static method of BetBuilder which returns a BetEvaluator object
public interface BetEvaluator { Boolean evaluate(Bet b, RollEvent re); }
or(BetEvaluator...) and and(BetEvaluator...) are also static methods of the BetBuilder class which accept an arbitrary number of BetEvaluators and return a BetEvaluator.
I think its clearer when I read the code exactly what the rules are for the Bet, and it makes it simple to create new Bet types with new expectations.
I'm interested in hearing what others think of this declarative style embedded in a Java program.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tailback Toney Williams has left the Tennessee Volunteers.
Coach Derek Dooley said Monday the redshirt sophomore, who had just 11 yards on five carries last season, planned to transfer.
Senior defensive end Ben Martin, who has been recovering from February surgery on his right Achilles' tendon, is expected to practice when camp opens Tuesday. Martin didn't play last season after injuring his left Achilles' tendon in August.
Freshman offensive tackle Antonio Richardson is recovering from shoulder surgery and won't face contact in the first few days of practice. Dooley expects sophomore defensive end Jacques Smith, who has had two foot recent foot surgeries, to practice.
Dooley says it will be several months until junior linebacker Herman Lathers, who broke his ankle in June, will be available to practice and play.

Red Sox shortstop Stephen Drew rounds the bases after his a home run in the fourth inning Wednesday. / Greg M. Cooper/USA TODAY Sports
BOSTON — Nobody enjoys the World Series less than general managers win or lose.
Seldom is a team that goes deep into October set for the next season. And the Boston Red Sox are no exception.
Four regulars from the team that led the American League in runs are free agents and its hardly a sure thing that any or all will return.
For a team that was reassembled on the fly in an off-season makeover, its hardly daunting that chances are at least some from among center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, first baseman Mike Napoli, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and shortstop Stephen Drew wont return.
I think were in a very healthy place, said manager John Farrell, whos as upbeat about re-establishing a winning culture this year as he is about the talent he puts on the field.
As second baseman Dustin Pedroia hardly a concern with a contract that runs through 2021 said of the tight-knit Red Sox clubhouse, Thats the business side. Well worry about that stuff when it gets here, but its been a blast.
The Red Sox are building a pipeline of prospects, some of whom already are figuring into the personnel decisions that will have to be made.
For instance, Xander Bogaerts has emerged as a World Series starter just days after his 21st birthday. Hes played third base during the postseason, but shortstop is his natural position, which moves the light-hitting Drew further down the pecking order of Red Sox needs.
But Napolis situation plays into the mix.
If he were to leave remember, he signed a one-year deal now worth $13 million after he met incentive clauses after an original three-year, $39 million contract was voided because of concern about the condition of his hips infield dominoes could fall.
One option would be for Will Middlebrooks, the regular third baseman for much of this season, to move to first base, thus creating room for Bogaerts at third.
The significant issue will be Ellsbury.
He ranks near the top of this winters free-agent list, and theres no ready replacement short of a trade.

20 apartments for rent near Artesia, San Antonio, TX
Apartments in Artesia, San Antonio, TX
Artesia is a densely populated neighborhood in southeast San Antonio that straddles Interstate 10. Most homes were built between 1940 and 1969, with the majority of those being small, single-family houses. Later developments added small and large apartment complexes to the mix. The part of Artesia that is west of Interstate 10 has some older homes, still on farm acreage, as well as some commercial zones. The eastern part is much more crowded.
Both ends of Artesia are pedestrian friendly and offer access to bus stops for VIA Metropolitan Transit along Yucca Street and Amanda Avenue. Dorie Miller Elementary School is on the northern edge of Artesia, as is the private Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The Gates Elementary and Jefferson Davis Junior High are on the eastern end of the neighborhood. St Gerard High School is a few blocks west of Artesia. Churches in the community include East St Mathew Baptist, the Emmanuel Apostolic Temple, and the Sisters of the Holy Spirit. St Phillips College is to the northwest.
On the southwestern end is the block long Herrera Park offering a basketball court, softball diamond, and playgrounds. To the northeast is the much larger Martin Luther King Park. Visitors are welcome to fish in the tiny creek, picnic at one of the nearly 40 tables, play tennis, volleyball, or basketball. The softball field and basketball court are lighted for night play.
Most shops and restaurants are along Martin Luther King Drive, which fronts the park and Roland Avenue. Home Stake Market and Dollar Food Mart are the closest grocery stores. There is no shortage of fast food outlets but just as many locally owned eateries such as Ruben's Homemade Tamales and the Smoke House, serving spicy barbeque.

After sitting vacant for more than four years, The Braxton Condominiums, which tower over the Cumberland River in Ashland City, are steadily filling up.
Midstate doctor Emily Windham is among the new homeowners in the 136-unit waterfront development, which was in foreclosure before being purchased in April by Louisville, Colo.-based Real Capital Solutions for $14.575 million.
Windham, an obstetrician and gynecologist who practices in Dickson, moved to Ashland City in early September from Green Hills and was looking to downsize.
I am getting older and thinking about retiring in a few years, she said.
Several factors led Windham to make the move: The condos were selling for about 40 to 60 percent less than the original asking price from the late 2000s, when they were built; taxes are lower in Ashland City than in Green Hills; and her drive to work was a little shorter and less congested than from Nashville. She also wanted to be near her family, which lives in Cheatham County.
Another advantage of her new condo is that it allows her to be close to the river.
I like the water, and I like to fish, Windham said.
There are a variety of recreational opportunities in Ashland City for those who enjoy the outdoors. In fact, the Cheatham County Chamber of Commerce markets the county as Nashvilles Playground.
Among the attractions is the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail, which offers about eight miles of paths for people to walk and run or ride their bicycles. The trail is along a historic railroad bed that dates to the early 1900s.
The 30-acre Riverbluff Park, which is nestled along the river, features soccer fields, a playground, a pavilion, boat ramp and dock. For the past three years, the park has been the staging area for a national triathlon that attracted about 800 people in September. Organizers plan to return next year.
Theres also the nearby 20,810-acre Cheatham Wildlife Management Area, operated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The property is managed primarily for deer, but it also allows for squirrel, quail and turkey hunting. A duck blind draw, which brings in more than 1,000 people, takes place there each August.
The Cheatham Dam Recreation Area, a few miles from Ashland City, is a place where people can fish, camp, swim and picnic.
Ashland City Mayor Rick Johnson said the towns natural beauty and friendly atmosphere are among the reasons people enjoy visiting and living here.
We are also about 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, he said.
Johnson says the town, which is home to about 4,600 people, will continue to build upon its recreational and outdoor activities.
As for retail and industry, the mayor hopes the town can fill the vacant storefronts as well as several empty buildings in the Cheatham County Industrial Park on Highway 12 South.
I think that will happen as more people move in, he said.
Johnson also has high hopes for an 80-unit assisted-living facility that will soon break ground on Highway 12 South. The facility the countys first such business will employ more than 40 people when it opens.
Windham, the condo owner, says the influx of new residents at The Braxton also will bring more businesses to the town.
Riverview Restaurant and Marina offers customers a scenic view of the river, which owner Walt Randolph says contributes to the restaurants success.
Ashland City is a good place to do business because its a small community with regular customers who appreciate what we do, he said. The restaurant originally started as a bait shop and store in 1956 and has undergone multiple expansions through the years before being destroyed in the May 2010 flood.
In the year after the flood, the restaurant was rebuilt, and it continues to grow its following for fresh catfish and the trimmings.
We bounced back quickly because of loyal customers from all over Middle Tennessee, Randolph said.

Former Colts' executive Bill Polian
Whether inadvertent or not, Bill Polian probably pulled the scab off a wound shared by hundreds - perhaps thousands - of Indianapolis Colts fans.
During a morning appearance on ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning'' radio show, the former long-time Colts' executive emphasized it's a disservice to paying fans when professional teams decide to sit front-line players in games at the end of the regular season in an attempt to improve playoff position. Polian's caveat was a team would be justified in holding out a player or players if it was concerned with possible injuries.

[37] Peripheral Hemangioblastoma: Clinicopathologic & Immunohistochemical Analysis of 21 Cases
Leona A Doyle, Christopher DM Fletcher. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Background: Hemangioblastoma is a rare tumor of uncertain histotype that typically arises in the cerebellum, often in the setting of Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL). Exceptional cases of hemangioblastoma arising outside the central nervous system (CNS) have been reported, but little is known about their clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features.
Design: 21 cases of hemangioblastoma arising at peripheral sites (PH) were identified in consult files. Clinical, morphologic and immunohistochemical features were evaluated. Outcome data were obtained from referring pathologists.
Results: 11 patients were female and 10 male; median age was 58 years (range 27-79). Tumors arose in spinal nerve roots (12), kidney (3), intestine (2), orbit (1), forearm (1), peritoneum (1) and flank (1). 5 patients had VHL; another 5 had lesions suggestive of VHL. 1 patient had tuberous sclerosis. Median tumor size was 4 cm (range 1.3-15 cm). Most tumors were well circumscribed; 6 were infiltrative-3 extended into bone and 1 into pleura. Tumors had a complex capillary network with larger thin or thick walled vessels in a solid and often lobular growth pattern, similar to CNS hemangioblastoma. In 9 cases the larger vessels showed a branching hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. All tumors had an admixed population of plump spindle cells and microvacuolated cells with pale eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm, which often mimicked lipoblasts or renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In 5 cases the microvacuolated cells were scant. Stromal cell nuclei were hyperchromatic or vesicular with inconspicuous nucleoli. 4 tumors showed marked nuclear pleomorphism. Mitotic activity was low (range <1-2/10 HPF). No necrosis or lymphovascular invasion was identified. Tumor cells expressed inhibin in 95% (19/20), NSE in 79% (15/19), S100 in 63% (12/19), as well as GLUT1 (7/10, mostly weak), SMA (4/5), EMA (2/8, focal), PAX-8 (1/10), aquaporin (3/6) and desmin (1/4). Brachyury was consistently negative (0/19), as were keratin, HMB-45, melanA and GFAP. CD31 and CD34 highlighted tumor vasculature. Follow up information was available for 17 patients (mean 34 months; range 5-117). 1 patient died of metastatic RCC. 3 had locally persistent PH after incomplete resection. Local recurrence or distant metastasis has not been identified in any patient so far.
Conclusions: PH is rare but may mimic some malignant tumors; the distinct immunohistochemical profile can aid diagnosis. Unresectable cases may be locally aggressive, but complete excision appears to be curative. Recognition of this tumor may identify patients in whom testing for VHL is warranted.

Watch new Subaru set IOM TT recordComment on this story
Douglas, Isle of Man - In a final timed run on the iconic Isle of Man Tourist Trophy course during TT Week 2014, Mark Higgins broke his own production-car lap record for the fabled 59.2km motorcycle road-racing circuit in a new Subaru WRX STI with a time of 19m15s - that's an average speed of 188km/h.
In Higgins' earlier attempt on Wednesday, several errors caused him to lose time, he said, and he was determined to get more out of the car.
And did, bettering Wednesday's time of 19:26 (186.35km/h) by 11 seconds, and the previous record speed of 184.57km/h (set in 2011, also in a WRX STI) by nearly 4km/h.
"Everything came together and I was able to do a much cleaner lap," he said afterwards. "I'm still learning where I can go flat out in this car."
"But the best part was beating two of the motorcycle lap records."
"We bettered sidecar lap record and the Zero Bikes record for electric motorcycles, which is held by John McGuiness; he's been teasing me about that!"
The car Higgins drove was a standard US-specification 2014 Subaru WRX STI, with the exception of a roll-cage, racing seat and harness, fire suppression system and modified springs and dampers to handle the sustained high speeds and changing conditions of the course
The speed limiter was removed, a very loud straight-through exhaust fitted (for crowd safety, say the Subaru boffins with absolutely straight faces!) and it was running on Dunlop Direzza tyres.
Subaru PR maven Dominick Infante said: "We knew there was more speed in the car after Wednesday's run and we're very happy the organisers gave us another opportunity - Mark was really flying on that final lap!"

If there's one thing I feel very little confidence in making, it's caramel. Quite a shame, actually, because caramel is pretty awesome.
As you can now imagine, I don't make a lot of traditional caramel cakes. I tried this one a few years ago, and I did okay with it. My caramel wasn't perfect, but it was still delicious.
But, the thing is that caramel cake is really good. And I always get a craving for it once we get remotely near Thanksgiving and Christmas. That leads us to this cake. We can all make this one.
The cake itself is pretty tasty all on its own. Lots of brown sugar for a caramel-y flavor. And buttermilk to boot. I'll never understand how something as un-tasty as buttermilk can make cakes so good.
And the caramel sauce? Well, it's pretty simple. You don't even need a candy thermometer. Just a heavy saucepan, a big spoon, and about 10 minutes. Now, that's my kind of caramel.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350°. Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
Gradually add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 15-20 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the caramel sauce:
Combine brown sugar, condensed milk, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 4-5 minutes or until mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla, and stir until butter has melted and mixture is smooth. Pour desired amount over cake. Transfer any remaining sauce to a container, and store in refrigerator.

I always feel funny about making caramel too, but somehow it turns out,,,,your cake looks lovely! I would go bonkers for this!
I have screwed up caramel so many times… it's just too easy to mess up. I may give it another shot though, you've inspired me!
You might have just convinced me to (finally) invest in a bundt tin.
In the UK we don't have corn syrup, it might be worth suggesting an alternative to that, I'd probably use golden syrup myself.
Keep up the great work.
ooooh i think i know what i'm making for our office bake off on friday. Thanks!!!
For those without corn syrup, would golden syrup work? The caramel sauce sounds like a must have.
ooh man that is a sexy looking cake! I love caramel
In Australia we buy a can of sweetened condensed milk, place can (unopened) in a saucepan with enough water to totally cover the can, boil (with a lid on) slowly for about an hour for light caramel flavour or up to 2 for a darker, richer flavour (and colour).
I'd just like to emphasis the importance of keeping the water level above the can. The can will explode if the water level drops too far and the caramel is very hot. I have seen some ugly scars from exploding cans of caramel.
Really nice! The cake by itself is subtle with the caramel flavor. The glaze really kicks it up. I think a big scoop of vanilla ice cream would be great with this.
Do you mean sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk?
Hi! I tried this cake a couple of weeks ago and loved it. I am making it again today for my son's 2nd birthday party tomorrow. When I made the caramel sauce the first time, it was delicious but "crunchy" from the brown sugar. I thought I had stirred it and boiled it long enough last time (in fact I was worried about it burning). Any suggestions for how to get it smoother this time?
I live in England, and bought my corn syrup from Amazon. This cake
looks gorgeous. I love caramel and can't wait to try it.
Thank you for this cake recipe. I lost this recipe a few years ago and grateful to find again. I won first place at county fair with this wonderful cake! The buttermilk really makes the difference in flavor and moisture.
I've been trying to find a good caramel recipe that is detailed in the right way so I don't need a candy thermometer and this one looks perfect! Definitely need to try this out.

PVS-Studio is a static analyzer that detects errors in source code of C/C++ applications. There are sets of rules included into PVS-Studio:
To learn more about each type of diagnosis, visit the corresponding pages.
The methodology of static code analysis we employ has significant advantages over other types of analysis since it allows you to cover the whole program code. The procedure of code check cannot damage the code itself in any way. The analysis process is completely controlled by person and it is the programmer who decides if it needs modification.
You can see or download a presentation about PVS-Studio.
Integration with Microsoft Visual Studio
The PVS-Studio tool is intended for developers of contemporary applications and it integrates into the Visual Studio 2005-2015 environments providing the programmer with a convenient user interface to analyze files, navigate through code and get reference information. You do not need to study documentation and settings preliminarily to work with the analyzer. The analyzer is ready to work right after it is installed.
PVS-Studio Features
- Integration with Visual Studio 2005-2015;
- incremental analysis is the automatic triggering of the analyzer at the moment immediately after compilation commences at developer's local system;
- build-system independent file verification (through the compiler invocation monitoring system) by PVS-Studio Standalone;
- online-help;
- pdf-documentation;
- saving and loading of analysis results;
- capability of command line launch;
- support for multi-core and multi-processor systems (with possibility to specify concurrency limits);
- estimate of complexity of 64-bit code migration;
- interactive filters;
- convenient integration into the team development process;
- marking of program text with the purpose of checking new code only.
PVS-Studio Advantages
- Easy-to-download! You may download the PVS-Studio distribution package without registering and filling in any forms.
- Easy-to-try! The PVS-Studio program is implemented as a plug-in for Visual Studio. The program is simple to install and does not require special setting before getting started.
- Easy-to-buy! Unlike other code analyzers, we have simple pricing and licensing policy. We will not ask you what size your application's code is or thrust training courses on you by phone. You decide what you need on the order page, pay the purchase and get the registration key by e-mail.
- Easy-to-support! It is the analyzer's developers who directly communicate with users, which enables you to quickly get answers to even complicated questions related to programming.

08 FA Offensive Line - Guards
1.) Jake Scott, RG, Colts, 26
§ Scott has started almost every game in his career, and for the Colts, whom have one of the best OL in the NFL. He is very young and has great talent. He will only get better as he gets older. He has great field awareness, as well as a good explosion after the snap. He does need to develop a little more strength, but he can develop into an into guard that can bolster an OL for years to come.
2.) Ryan Lilja, LG, Colts, 26
§ Lilja is another starting guard for the Colts. He is a solid guard, but is better in pass protection than run blocking. He needs to add more strength and develop a mean streak in order to develop into a star.
3.) Maurice Williams, RG, Jaguars, 29
§ Maurice can play both Guard and Tackle, but he has been a much OL since being moved to G. He has long, strong arms that he uses well in pass protection, and he has good explosion and strength to drive defenders back in the run game. He will develop into a top guard.
4.) Alan Faneca, LG, Steelers, 31
§ Faneca is an elite guard, but he is also an older guard. The Bears NEED to get YOUNGER on the OL. OL do have a long shelf life, so it is possible he will be an elite starter for the next 3 years, and then a solid starter for the next 3. He is the best guard on the market, but his age hinders his appeal.
5.) Floyd Womack, G, Seahawks, 29
§ Womack is a very versatile player that can play every position on the OL. He does lack the speed and quickness to play Tackle, and thus is best suited to play guard. He can hold his own well and is strong enough to get a good push at the line of scrimmage. He is a solid veteran guard, not an elite starter.
6.) Keydrick Vincent, G, Cardinals, 29
§ Vincent is a massive guard, but he lacks great strength and explosiveness. He does play hard until the whistle, and never gives up on his blocks, but he will make a few mental mistakes a game. He has had a history of injuries, so that is a big concern, and he is more of a space-filler than a blocker.
7.) Ruben Brown, LG, Bears, 35
§ When healthy, Ruben Brown is one of the game top Guards. Last year he showed he was getting old, either that or he was injured all season. The Bears like the guy, so I could see them resigning him if he is willing to give us a hometown discount. But again, the Bears NEED to get younger on the OL. But Brown can provide some great veteran leadership, and assist coach the young guys.

08 FA Safeties
1.) Ken Hamlin, S, Cowboys, 6'2", 27 years old
§ Hamlin is a great FS. He has great speed and coverage ability; a natural ballhawk. He is also a vocal leader, getting the secondary lined up before the play begins. He is a hard hitter with good tackling technique. He can play both safety positions, but is better suited to play FS. As a hard hitting safety with outstanding range, Hamlin is the top safety in FA. Oh yeah, he is also a perfect fit for Cover 2.
2.) Madieu Williams, S, Bengals, 6'1", 26
§ He is on the Bengals defense, so how good can he really be, right? But really, he was one of the Bengals best defensive players. He is a solid tackler and has a nose for the ball. He has plus speed and good knowledge of the game. He can play both free and strong safety positions, and is a very good player. He may be the Bears best option at safety if they miss out on Hamlin.
3.) Eugene Wilson, FS, Patriots, 5'10", 27
§ <st1:city><st1:place>Wilson</st1:place></st1:city> is a good vocal leader that has the ability to play both FS and CB. He is very good in coverage and has good speed to catch a receiver that gets behind him. He is a decent tackler, but won't "wow" anyone with big hits. He did fall out of favor with the Patriots in '07, so he will not return in '08. He is a solid FS, not a standout player.
4.) Gibril Wilson, S, Giants, 6'0", 26
§ Gibril is a solid tackler, but needs to improve his coverage ability. Over his career he has improved, but he still has too many lapses in coverage. He increased his value in the Super Bowl after helping keep the Patriots to 14 points. He is an upgrade at safety position, but he is not the sole answer to our safety problems.

08 FA Wide Receivers
Wide Receiver
1.) Bernard Berrian, Bears, 6'1", 27
§ Berrian is a very inconsistent receiver. He busted onto the scene in '05 when Rex Grossman became the starter, and he greatly improved in '06. In '07, he showed signs of greatness, but he also dropped a lot of passes and gave up on routes (which lead to INTs). He has great speed and is a huge playmaker, but he needs to become more consistent.
2.) Bryant Johnson, Cardinals, 6'3", 26
§ Johnson isn't a burner, more of a possession receiver. He is a big, strong receiver that runs good routes. He does have some problems with dropped passes, because he is thinking too much about the run after the catch. He has the ability to become a great #2 receiver, he just needs to see more time on the field.
3.) Andre Davis, Texans, 6'1", 28
§ <st1:city><st1:place>Davis</st1:place></st1:city> has great straight line speed, but he is not a spectacular receiver. He is good to stretch the field, but is not willing to go across the middle of the field. He has very good hands, but needs to become more versatile in his routes.
4.) Jerry Porter, Raiders, 6'2", 29
§ Porter is a playmaker. He also needs an attitude adjustment. He sat out '06 because of a dispute with the Raiders staff. His talent has not been properly used by the Raiders, just like Moss's wasn't. Either that or he just plays when he wants to. He has great size, speed and playmaking ability. He may be a steal if he comes at the right price.
5.) Keary Colbert, Panthers, 6'1", 25
§ A quick, young receiver that doesn't stand out. He does all the small things right, but nothing exceptional. He has only average size and speed, but is a consistent target. He is a smart receiver that will find holes in the secondary, but will also disappear against bigger physical corners.
6.) DJ Hackett, Seahawks, 6'2", 25
§ Hackett is a good size receiver with good speed, but he drops many easy passes. He lacks the concentration and hands to become a dependable receiver in the NFL. He has benefited from <st1:city><st1:place>Seattle</st1:place></st1:city>'s pass happy offense.
7.) Devery Henderson, Saints, 5'11", 25
§ An undersized WR with a lot of speed. He can really stretch the field, but that's about it. He is not a great route runner and he will drop a few passes.

08 FA Running Backs
Running Backs
1.) Marion Barber, Cowboys, 6'0", 220 lbs, 24 years old
§ Unlike Jones, Barber is a RFA, which means any team that wants him would have to give <st1:city><st1:place>Dallas</st1:place></st1:city> a 1st and 3rd Round Draft picks. That might be a high price pay, especially with this years draft class of RB. But Barber is a hard runner that never gives up. He rarely leaves yards on the field, he actually gets more than are there. He doesn't have elite speed, but he is a good receiver out of the backfield.
2.) Michael Turner, Chargers, 5'10", 237 lbs, 25
§ Another hard runner, but shares the backfield with Tomlinson. When given the chance, he does extraordinarily well. He is not a very fast RB, but he is fast enough to run away from defenders and good power to break tackles. He is not the type of RB to make defenders miss, but he is improving. There are concerns that he will not handle the full load.
3.) Julius Jones, Cowboys, 5'10", 211 lbs, 26
§ Jones split the carries with Barber in 06 & 07. As 07 came to an end, Jones saw much more bench than grass. He also rarely saw the endzone, due to Barber getting the ball inside the 20. But Jones is a great team player and running back. He has great speed and agility. He is also a solid receiver out of the backfield. He does have minor injury concerns, as well as the occasional fumble.
4.) Tatum Bell, Lions, 5'11", 213 lbs, 26
§ A very quick runner that can make defenders miss. He is not a solid between the tackles runner and will fumble at times. There are also durability concerns, as he has been injured frequently. He has loads of upside because of his ability to create big plays, in both running and receiving.
5.) Chris Brown, Titans, 6'3", 220 lbs, 26
§ Brown is a big, strong back with durability issues. He has been injured a lot, but when healthy, he can display his great talent. He runs high, so he takes a lot of big hits, as well as difficult to drive the pile. He is very fast and can make defenders miss, but he needs to share carries with another back.
6.) Justin Fargas, Raiders, 6'1", 220 lbs, 28
§ Fargas had a breakout season in '07. He has great speed, but will not make many defenders miss, nor break a lot of tackles. But when given the room, he will take full advantage and make some big plays.

The way many of us calculate our fuel economy is wrong, but there's an easy way to get accurate figures for how much fuel you use.
I've never been more surprised than when Drew Winter, editor-in-chief of Ward's Auto World magazine, raved to me about the fuel economy readings from the trip computer in a Chevrolet Cruze diesel he drove from Detroit to Traverse City, 300 miles away in northern Michigan.
"Trip computer" is the auto industry's name for the little electronic readouts that show your average fuel economy, distance to empty, and often other statistics like average speed and ...

Dual lands
Dual lands or duals is common slang for any non basic land that produces two colors of mana, particularly the ten original rare lands printed from Alpha to Revised.
Dual Lands[edit | edit source]
The original dual lands are:
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Since then, "dual land" has come to refer to any land that can produce two colors of mana.[1][2][3] Dual lands are often highly sought-after and fetch high prices on the secondary market. Popular dual land cycles have been printed in numerous sets, including Ice Age (pain lands), Onslaught/Zendikar/Khans of Tarkir (fetch lands), Tempest (pain lands), Apocalypse (pain lands), Odyssey (filter lands), Ravnica block (shock lands and Karoo lands), Future Sight (special cycle of different mechanics[4]), Shadowmoor block (filter lands), Magic 2010/Innistrad (tapland) and Scars of Mirrodin (scar lands).[5] Several manlands are also dual lands. There are also a few notable "triple lands" cycles that produce three colors of mana; a cycle of shard-colored triple lands was printed in Shards of Alara, and a cycle of wedge-colored triple lands was printed in Khans of Tarkir.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Volcanic Island was not printed in Alpha through internal error. This oversight was corrected in Beta.
- Plateau has an alternate art in the Revised version due to lost and corrupted art.[6]
- All original dual lands received new art for Magic Online.[7]

The best carpet cleaning service tip with regard to extending the sweetness and life of the carpets is just to vacuum them frequently and totally. In order to scrub your carpets properly; you ought to softly go a more-powered vacuum cleaner on your own carpets.

Damage might be caused anytime the soap left inside carpet reduces the dirt in the shoes.
Additionally, saturating a new carpet may possibly drive the actual stain greater into the carpet instead of eliminating all this together. Whilst the dirt is apparently gone, it is very beneath the surface of your own carpet waiting to wick back.

While you may be an skilled angler who owns your unique boat in addition to gear – and possibly thinking you won't need some sort of charter to assist you to catch fish, charter fishing hosts tremendous rewards. And a person, certainly, should not really be a great exception to help these unparalleled benefits. But 1st things very first.
Charters develop the appropriate equipment, the appropriate bait as well as rich expertise in Carpet cleaning monmouth county nj a nearby waters these people fish. Plus, in the majority of cases, they are generally members of charter associations – a terrific resource in order to, even, the nearly all experienced fisherman. These links help constitution captains always know how other captains are fairing. They are able to know the place they usually are fishing coming from and how they are attracting the sea food. And thanks to their robust network which helps these people share exactly what works for him or her with different captains way too. This could be the cooperation, among your captains connected with charter organizations, which contributes to more fish from the boat, as effectively as, few ill-fated days within the water. No question recreational fishers quickly collect around whenever numerous chartered fishing vessels are loaded next together.
Charter captains are correct pros, and they will always outsmart family fishermen. In fact, charter doing some fishing trips are a way to talk one-on-one with other authorities about angling. And you know that we all become greater fishermen after we have greater information.
While it may be costly to keep up and buy boat along with equipment, you don't really need to worry about owning a boat having charter sportfishing. Thus, a chance that you can save.

Take good thing about the sportfishing adventure since you enjoy his or her investment along with experience.
I will not likely fail to speak about going on vacation: Have you familiarised yourself while using maritime areas that you are likely to visit? Is your boat, even, big ample to tackle the waters? Carpet cleaning highlands nj Doing some fishing and sailing in not known territories can be risky to the people up to speed, other boats in the water in addition to yourself, as effectively. This is usually a time whenever professional captains can be found in handy as a true lifestyle saving purchase. These professionals are sensible. They learn where sandbars and also other hidden dangers are located, whereas, you might not know any time, where and how to prevent them. And do you realize by getting a hire, you can offer save your money? You'll spend less on charges paid to pack in addition to transport the boat and gear – due to charter fishing vessels.
So whether, an expert or maybe a novice, charter fishing trips now have everything to supply. Especially, the rent captain professionals will ensure you have hidden fishing experience which is tailored to your experience level. While nearly all charters promise fish deliver, they will certainly share all of that they realize with everyone agreeable. Beware their own objective is always to have you love it fantastic moment and abandon happy. Which is the reason why they instantly give you the feeling that you need.
So the reason wait lengthier? Consider scheduling a charter fishing vacation and leave each of the worries on the day towards the charter captains. What you should do is to relax and relax while you enjoy your fishing.

Sad, Sad Day
Decided to post a link to Angela Ackerman's blog. Today's title, Heavy Heart, says very simply what so many of us are feeling.

I really do have a heavy heart for Japan right now. It's terrible what they are going through and I've found myself praying a thousand times a day that they will have some sort of relief from what those poor people are going through. Not to mention the prayers that a disaster like that doesn't reach the U.S... Hope you are doing well, God bless you!ReplyDelete
Oh, Amanda, I couldn't agree more. God bless you, too.ReplyDelete

Getting data out of Advance, and ultimately using it as information, takes place in a number of ways besides simply logging in and looking information up. Here are the chief methods for getting information out of our Advance alumni/donor database:
- Reports as lists from the Information Management Reporting Group. These can be in several forms, such as:
- Standard reports are published automatically such as the Report to Contributors, or ROC.
- Scheduled reports that get pushed to your email from ReportWriter.NET; commonly scheduled reports are the Gift Activity Report, or GAR, and Gift Notification. There are a number of other ReportWriter.NET reports that you can schedule push for yourself.
- ReportWriter.NET Web Reports or Access Reports – queries – that you run yourself on the fly as needed. They frequently allow you to choose parameters for customizing the list for your needs.
- Population Chooser, aka Michelangelo, is a reporting tool under development and testing. When rolled out, Michelangelo will allow ReportWriter.NET users to choose populations of people and/or gift allocations in Advance visually through the web interface.
- Ad hoc reports are lists that users request online to describe the information they need. Reporting staff receive the request and create a custom list based on your needs for you.
- Reports and look-ups on Prospect information, related to Advancement Research and Relationship Management.
- PMATS in Advance has powerful look-up functionality for information related to fundraiser activity including contact reports, portfolios, and proposals. For how to's on PMATS look-ups click here.
