One state agency thinks customers should pay lower water bills, instead of the rate increase proposed by a utility that serves thousands of local homes and businesses.
The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, the state agency that represents consumers during proposed utility rate increases, researched the debt, income and expenses of Indiana American Water and determined the company doesn't need more money and actually is charging too much. The agency representing consumers not only recommended rejecting the water company's proposed rate increase but also suggested a decrease in the company's monthly rates of about
5.5 percent.
Indiana American Water serves about 27,000 customers in Greenwood, Franklin and New Whiteland, along with portions of White River, Franklin and Needham townships. The average monthly household bill is $35.54 for customers using 4,600 gallons of water. The proposed rate change would increase those monthly bills by about $2.40, Indiana American Water external affairs manager Joe Loughmiller said.
The state agency's recommendation was based on research that shows the water company used inaccurate predictions of future customer growth and revenues; needs to better track where water used is not being paid for; should cut several expenses, such as payroll and incentives; and not be allowed to increase the amount of profit made on investments, according to a news release from the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, the state agency that ultimately will decide on the rate increase, will hear rebuttal testimony from the water company later this month. In a June hearing, the commission will question both the water company and state agency representing customers.
The water company can lower its expenses by addressing the issues outlined by the state agency, thus creating more revenue without a rate increase. But the office of utility consumer counselor's recommendation doesn't necessarily mean customers will see their water bills go down, said Anthony Swinger, director of external affairs for the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor.
For example, Indiana American Water asked for an 8 percent rate increase in 2012, and the office of utility consumer counselor recommended a 4 percent rate decrease in that case. In the end, the water company was allowed to raise rates by 1 percent. A proposed 29 percent increase a few years before that resulted in about a 19 percent increase.
The utility will file rebuttal testimony and evidence by a May 28 deadline but would not comment further on the recommendations made, Loughmiller said.
Indiana American Water did not give accurate predictions of future customer growth and revenue amounts because the company used only a four-month sample of data from January to April 2013 to create the projections. The sample size was taken during typical cold weather months when less water is used by residential customers and the sample size was considered too small to be accurate, according to testimony of office of utility consumer counselor analyst Charles Patrick.
The sample also was outdated because the last month used was about nine months before the water company filed its case. The water company's estimated residential revenue should have been about $6.9 million higher than its $96 million projection, according to Patrick's testimony.
Indiana American Water also is asking for its cost equity, which is the amount of profit it can give back to shareholders, to be increased from 9.7 percent to 10.8 percent. But the office of utility consumer counselor recommends that amount be cut to 8.6 percent.
The water company also needs to do a better job of monitoring and finding areas where improvements can be made in order to reduce the amount of water that is used but not paid for, testified Scott Bell, the director of wastewater/water division with the office of utility consumer counselor. A certain amount water is unaccounted for from the time it leaves the water plant to when it is used, according to customers' meters, and typically occurs when pipes leak, people alter meter readers, or even when fire departments put out a fire, Swinger said.
Indiana American Water also requested about $38,000 in incentive payments for two positions — vice president of operations and director of engineering, contingent on how the company's stock performs. Those incentives should be paid by shareholders, not ratepayers, because the shareholders will gain from stocks performing well, Patrick testified.
The utility also requested about $413,000 in incentive payments for employees who are salaried, or not eligible for overtime, but the recommendation from the office of utility consumer counselor called for eliminating 15 percent, or about $90,000, of that amount.
About 70 comments submitted by customers were part of the evidence the state considers, and all were against the proposed rate increase. Most of the comments came from residents in northwest Indiana.
Stephen Knott was one of few Johnson County residents who submitted comments. He's been active in opposing rate increases in the past, which had drawn a few hundred people to past public hearings, he said. But no one came to the public hearing in Franklin about a month ago.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will decide what, if any, increases the utility should be allowed.

When you see long distance relationships always ending around you, it might seem like the odds are stacked against you, but there are tricks to help make your relationship run as smoothly as possible when the conditions are less than ideal.
Make time for each other.
Life gets busy. There is no way around this fact. You get swamped with school and work and it seems almost impossible to find a spare minute for yourself.
It's really important not to forget your significant other in these times, even if it is a quick text to let them know that they are on your mind. In a healthy relationship, you both will recognize that life gets in the way sometimes, but making a point to reach out, however briefly it might be, will reassure your significant other that they are still important in your life.
When you have more time, making a point to talk on the phone or on Skype everyday or every other day is incredibly important. Just check in with one another. Know what is going on in each other's lives since you can't be around to have as many experiences together as you would under other conditions.
Be as honest as you can.
I'm not saying that you have to tell your S.O. every detail of the day, but it's smart to let them know when you are going out. It isn't a matter of asking permission from your significant other, but instead a matter of respect. They might like to know that there will be limited communication, either due to bad service at a frat party, the fact that checking your phone when you're out isn't a top priority, etc. They'll appreciate the heads up.
Plan visits. Stick to the plans.
I know sometimes situations come up where you can't make it out to them. Sometimes these situations are unavoidable. However, it is important to make time to be together in person. A relationship can only work so well without any physical time together.
When you are together, you should actually be together. It does not matter what you do together. Every visit doesn't have to be a mini vacation, but be present instead of glued to your phone or laptop. You only get to see each other so often. Appreciate what time you have together.
Have a life outside of each other.
Although this point is true with any relationship, it especially rings true when you aren't able to actually be with each other in person. The long distance relationship is going to be a lot harder if all you do is wait around for the next time you have a chance to talk to your significant other. Even if it is as simple as finding a show you love to watch on Netflix, you need to have a life outside of the relationship. Taking time to see friends and go out is important. These activities will help keep your mind away from the fact that you two can't be together when you want to be.
Trust each other.
I cannot stress this point enough. You have to trust each other to be faithful, especially in a long distance relationship. If you think they're cheating and begin freaking out every time he/she takes a couple of hours to respond to a text or call you back, the relationship will not last.
You have to trust that your S.O. chooses to be with you because they like you. If there is other evidence to suggest they might be unfaithful, then you have every right to question them, but don't freak out every time you are simply feeling paranoid.
I do not claim that if you follow these tips, you will have a perfect relationship. Every relationship is different. It depends on the couple and their experiences.
Long distance relationships are hard as it is without trying to follow a bunch of rules. But following these tips has kept my relationship incredibly healthy and I hope they can help others into success as well.

Have you ever trained your dog to sit? What did you say to your dog after you told it to sit? You probably told it to "stay." Why did you do that? If the dog sits, he has to stay. In the same respect, I don't have a "stop" on my horse. I only have a "go" and a "back."
Now, I may only want the horse to stop - but in his mind he should be thinking "back up." If I were to ride forward and then stop - and then apply more pressure to the rein to back up, then I'm teaching three cues there. One "go," two "stop," three "back up." So in effect what I'd be doing is telling the horse "Four pounds of pressure on the rein means stop, six pounds means back up."
So, if I really want to make my stops quicker, I only teach "go" and "back up." Now, for you reiners, I'm not talking about how to lengthen the slide here - I'm talking about getting a quicker, more responsive stop. I'm teaching the horse that when I say stop that means stop.
My goal is to take away any hesitation time, with no pause between moving forward then moving backward. I work on "go" then "back up," "go," then "back up." Tip: Only work on this for about 10 or 15 minutes at a time. If you work too much on this the horse gets tired and it gets to be too much.
What you do is to simply ride forward then ask the horse to back up - each time with less and less hesitation. Now, it's not going to be pretty - but you've got to do whatever it takes to "go then back up, go then back up." Your goal is zero hesitation. Pretty soon, as soon as you touch that rein that horse just shoots back.
If I do this with my horse, for about three minutes, I can make his feet "pedal" underneath him as he tries to go from forward to backward immediately. He was moving forward but then, when I ask for the back up, he'll keep his hind feet moving underneath himself. As you're practicing this exercise remember: If you continue to allow the horse to hesitate (instead of whittling the hesitation down to zero) then you won't be making an improvement

Have your say on libraries
You can have your say on the county council's proposals for communities to run up to 36 libraries in Leicestershire.
Consultation is taking place from today (April 7th) till July 7th and full details are on www.leics.gov.uk/haveyoursay/futurelibraries, including dates and venues of public meetings in May and June.
Richard Blunt, cabinet member for libraries, said: "I'm encouraging people to have their say and to consider coming forward to run some of our libraries. This has proven a success in other areas, such as Warwickshire. More »
"If people are interested, we will give them massive support, as I believe these libraries could become real community hubs."
The council is proposing changes because:
• From 2015, the council plans to save £800,000 per year from its current £5.6 million libraries budget
• People are increasingly using E-books and the internet instead of borrowing books from libraries
• Libraries are increasingly being used as community hubs, hosting a series of activities
The council is proposing to:
• Continue to operate the 16 most-used libraries but reduce their opening hours
• Support communities to run the other 36 local libraries. If community groups do not come forward, some libraries may close. Any closures would be covered by a weekly mobile library service.
The council's 16 most-used libraries are: Ashby; Birstall; Blaby; Broughton Astley; Coalville; Earl Shilton; Glenfield; Hinckley; Loughborough; Market Harborough; Lutterworth; Melton Mowbray; Oadby; Shepshed; Syston; Wigston Magna.
They account for: 77 per cent of library visits; 74 per cent of loans; 72 per cent of active borrowers; and 84 per cent of computer use.
The 36 community libraries are: Anstey; Barrow; Barwell; Bottesford; Braunstone Town; Burbage; Castle Donington; Countesthorpe; Cosby; Desford; East Goscote; Enderby; Fleckney; Glenhills; Great Glen; Groby; Hathern; Ibstock; Kegworth; Kibworth; Kirby Muxloe; Leicester Forest East; Market Bosworth; Markfield; Measham; Mountsorrel; Narborough; Newbold Verdon; Quorn; Ratby; Rothley; Sapcote; Sileby; South Wigston; Stoney Stanton; Thurmaston. » Less
Rural communities can now check when they will receive fibre broadband via a new website launched today (28/03/14).
The website has a range of information on the Superfast Leicestershire programme which aims to extend high-speed fibre broadband to 96% of homes and businesses in Leicestershire by the end of March 2016.
The website includes information on:
• Benefits of fibre broadband for businesses and households
• The timetable for increasing the coverage
• Our plans to increase coverage even further More »
Blake Pain, county council cabinet member for rural broadband, said: "Our new website is the first step keeping residents informed on how we are providing superfast broadband across Leicestershire. Visitors to the site will be able to find out about superfast broadband, how their area could benefit and when they can expect to receive this service.
"Leicestershire has a thriving rural economy consisting of a large number of small and micro businesses in creative, knowledge-based sectors which would see a huge benefit from superfast broadband.
"Providing firms with access to superfast broadband will make them more competitive and attract inward investment and jobs to help unlock rural Leicestershire's economic potential."
Owen Moody, BT's East Midlands regional director, said: "Faster broadband will deliver important benefits for people across Leicestershire, whether they are running a business, working or studying from home, doing the weekly shop online, downloading films and TV programmes or keeping in touch with friends and family around the world. It can all be done better using faster broadband."
The launch of the new website coincides with the announcement of additional funding for the project from Leicestershire's district councils. An extra 4,400 homes and businesses will now benefit from £1.1m of funding pledged by the district councils.
The new website can found accessed at: www.superfastleicestershire.org.uk » Less
Trading Standards has joined forces with Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service to highlight the serious fire risks posed by cheap, illegal cigarettes.
Legal cigarettes are made with special self-extinguishing paper that if left unattended will go out by itself.
Fake cigarettes don't use this paper which places smokers at a far greater risk of house fires.
A two and a half minute YouTube clip has been produced to support this campaign presented by Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. The video outlines the dangers and shows what can happen when fake cigarettes are left to burn on an armchair to view click on the link above. More »
Pam Posnett, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for Trading Standards, said: "We would never encourage anyone to start smoking as cigarettes are harmful to your health but these cheap imitations are far worse."
"You might think you are getting a bargain, but what you're actually buying is very unsafe and could contain a whole range of harmful additives such as asbestos, dead flies and even rat droppings.
"We want to get illegal tobacco off the streets because of the danger it poses to our communities and would appreciate your help in helping us to crack down on this."
Steve Robinson-Day, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service's Safer Neighbourhoods Station Manager, said: "Fake cigarettes are a serious fire safety hazard. They have already been implicated in a fire death and are simply not worth buying because of the risks they pose."
If you have any information to help Trading Standards stamp out the sale of cheap tobacco, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Real Madrid's Busy Summer
European Soccer Clubs Take to Barnstorming Around the World; From Business Expense to Lucrative Venture
By the time Spain's domestic season kicks off on Aug. 21, Real Madrid will have played a total of nine games in nine cities in five countries on three continents—all in the space of five weeks.
Except for the two-legged Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid's eternal rival, Barcelona, the rest of these matches are what soccer quaintly calls friendlies. They're more accurately called exhibitions, because they're all about showcasing the brand, satisfying the existing global fan base, proselytizing among world-wide soccer's uncommitted spectators and, of course, generating extra revenue.
Real's road show will take it to the U.S.—on Saturday, the team beat Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union 2-1 in front of 57,035 fans at a hot and muggy Lincoln Financial Field—plus Germany, England and China. And because there's never too much of a good thing, Real will play yet another friendly on Aug. 24, after the start of the Liga campaign, against Turkey's Galatasaray.
While Real Madrid is something of an extreme case—most top clubs limit their summer exhibitions to Europe and either Asia or North America, but not both—preseason barnstorming has become the norm over the past decade.
The routine used to be much simpler. Clubs would convene a month or so before the start of the season. Then they would put in a couple of weeks of intense training—in the case of European clubs, often in a cooler climate like Scandinavia or a bucolic Alpine location—and partake in some exhibitions against local amateur and lower-division sides. At most, they might arrange the odd "prestige friendly" against a foreign opponent just before the season starts. Newspaper coverage was limited, television even more so. Few live matches and highlights were available. Even those came from shaky, handheld cameras.
But that changed when clubs realized they could make serious money before the season, turning these camps from a necessary business expense into a lucrative, revenue-generating venture.
With the proliferation of cable and satellite channels, there was suddenly a place to show these games. And with an appetite for soccer around the world, particularly during the offseason, there was an audience of fans and advertisers willing to pay for it.
Taking exhibition games directly to those European soccer-starved audiences in Asia and North America was the logical next step. Now, events like the World Football Challenge in the U.S. and the Premier League Asia Trophy are integral parts of the summer soccer landscape. They not only satisfy far-flung fans' desires to see their heroes but also give sponsors a chance to reach different audiences directly, provide more attractive content for media companies and generate serious appearance fees for the clubs.
For Major League Soccer, the fact that top European clubs land on the doorstep every summer is a double-edged sword. In the past, MLS avoided scheduling games against them, partly out of fear of cannibalizing its own fledgling product and highlighting the superiority of the visitors, partly because the last thing clubs need in the middle of a long season is a meaningless match-up.
That attitude has changed. The league is now a partner in the World Football Challenge, said MLS Executive Vice President Dan Courtemanche. And here's how MLS teams can benefit from the media attention of taking on Manchester United or Real Madrid: A casual fan who might be lured in by Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo might then be persuaded to stick around for the Chicago Fire's Logan Pause or the Philadelphia Union's Sébastien Le Toux.
And the suspicion that these matches would turn into the kind of one-sided drubbings that harm the image of MLS never really materialized.
There haven't been that many blowouts, sure, but even casual soccer fans in the U.S. are savvy enough to understand that these are exhibitions, when clubs often field a mix of regulars and reserves and substitute liberally. The play resembles an NFL preseason game.
It now looks as if the appetite for summer tours will only increase—from both sides. The one remaining concern: whether teams will end up paying a price for the global barnstorming in the form of burnout and fatigue. Real Madrid and its record mileage this summer should test that theory.
— Gabriele Marcotti is the world soccer columnist for The Times of London and a regular broadcaster for the BBC.

I don't like the 'C' word, it's offensive to some people and gets used way too much. I mean "cloud" of course. Across all of I.T. it's the current big trend that every PR department seems to feel the need to trump about and it's what all Marketing people are trying to sell us. I'm not just talking Oracle here either, read any computing, technical or scientific magazine and there are the usual adds by big I.T. companies like IBM and they are all pushing clouds (and the best way to push a cloud is with hot air). And we've been here before so many times. It's not so much the current technical trend that is the problem, it is the obsession with the one architecture as the solution to fit all requirements that is damaging.
There have been a couple of things this week that have made me think about the stuff that some of us write and what other people do with it.
I've been thinking today about those people in IT who are going to have to either work or be on call during the festive period. Twitter has become a lot more quiet today and most of the activity is not-work-related. My blog traffic is now a trickle and there is a general feeling of doing more family, non-work things for a couple of days, which I think is good for all of us from time to time. Maybe more times than current working culture and practices allow for.
I doubt many of you are on tenterhooks as to how I got on with my phone today {after my << rant last Friday}. But I'm going to tell you anyway.
Overall, Apple have gone some way to redeeming themselves.
I got myself down into Cambridge this morning to visit the Apple Store, at my allotted slot of 10:10 {I later witnessed someone attempting to be 15 minutes early for their slot – and they were asked to go and have a coffee and come back. The customer was unimpressed as they had lugged some huge Apple monitor in with them}.
{Update on my trip to the Apple Store >>}
There used to be a phrase in the car industry in the UK (I don't know about elsewhere) a "Friday Afternoon Car". This is a car which is unusually unreliable, as it was built on Friday afternoon when the workers were tired, the weekend was coming and, heck, they might have been to the pub at lunch. It is occasionally used just to describe something that is a bit crap and unreliable.
Sometimes I think I would have been a Luddite or a member of other groups who have trashed new technology in frustration. Some days, I can just scream at it. You would think having worked in Information Technology for so long would make me more of a fan, but it actually makes me worse – as I know there is no need for there to be so much wrong with the electronic dross we all have to deal with day-to-day. And if I, someone who has used (heck, even programmed) computers for 3 decades, have trouble with these damned things, how frustrating must "normal" people find it?
I had a manager a few years ago, a lady. She was good at her job, knew the tech and we got on well. And she would take the piss out of me constantly about my height. One day, another member of the team suddenly said "Hey! Leave him alone! He might actually be sensitive about it and it's wrong you should be bullying him like this". My boss replied "Oh come on, he's not sensitive about it! He takes the Mickey out of himself all the time!"
"Besides… He's too short to do anything about it."
It was bloody funny and I think all of us laughed at that – but my defender had a point. I might joke about my height and most of the time I'm fine about it, but day after day of comments and jokes? And other stuff? Crouch down here beside me for 5 minutes and I'll show you the view…
How do I know if Dave is doing his job properly? If I am his (or her*) manager, what techniques can I use to ensure I am getting my pound of flesh out of this worker drone in return for the exorbitant salary my company puts into said drone's bank account each month?
Well, as a start there is my last Friday Philosophy all about deduction of work profile via auditory analysis of input devices (ie how fast is Dave typing) :-) I have to say, the response to that topic has been very good, I've had a few chats with people about it and got some interesting comments on the blog article itself. My blog hits went Ping :-)
When I was about 14 or 15 years old I had this idea that I could create a company selling stuff and make a fair amount of money at it, very easily. What prompted these thoughts were advertisements that attempted to persuade you to buy things that were not at all special or unusual or even good, but the ads claimed that they were in fact fantastic and desirable and having them would significantly improve your life. Often the ads were for really quite rubbish things. It was blatantly obvious that, whilst no factual lies were uttered, the promise of the sun always shining, the big smile on your face, the family joy (with mandatory cute dog) and the inner glow that comes from the product were ludicrous. The product was not going to do that, the whole underlying premise of these adverts were ludicrous lies.
In particular, I was struck by breakfast cereal advertisements.
A couple of months ago my friend Big Dave Roberts blogged about the benefits of networking – as in social/business networking as opposed to using hairy string to connect bits of IT kit together – after we had met for a drink in Birmingham.
His point was that, though he had made a positive effort to network more to help his career (along with several other steps) networking had not in fact, as far as he could tell, helped his career. But he still did it because of the other benefits – meeting diverse people with different experiences and ideas and enjoying it.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Inktense Watercolor Pencils on WSF http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=42532&th=7939#msg_42532 <![CDATA[I saw Kaetemi's post and video about applying watercolor to white, strong and flexible, and it got me thinking about using my Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils on it. Inktense are a little different from normal watercolor; once they are fully saturated with water and allowed to dry, they cannot be removed with water and are relatively permanent. They also offer some really intense, ink-like colors on paper when washed out with water.

 In the attached photo, I have tested, from right to left: Copic Ciao Powder Pink (YR00) and Milky White (E51), Inktense Teal Green (1300) and Inktense Fuscia (0700) applied with a waterbrush, Inktense Sun Yellow (0200) and Sea Blue (1200) pencils applied directly and then wetted with a waterbrush and mixed.

 The porous nature of WSF makes it act like paper; the rough texture acts like paper "tooth" and grabs the pencil and marker very well. I would still recommend a spray-on clear coat for protection. ]]> leftofreality 2012-01-23T04:09:21-00:00 Re: Inktense Watercolor Pencils on WSF http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=47408&th=7939#msg_47408 <![CDATA[hey great to know..

Transave is working with the NIAID to study Arikace™, a sustained-release formulation of the antibiotic amikacin, in patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections. Under the CRADA, the organizations will collaborate on the planning, design, and implementation of a Phase I trial to evaluate the drug in patients who have failed to respond to standard, guideline-based treatment regimens.
The study will assess the safety and tolerability of Arikace versus placebo administered once daily for several continuous months using the eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma), a portable aerosol delivery system. About 35 patients will be enrolled in the trial to be conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD.
Positive Phase II results were announced in June 2008 from a trial in European CF patients with Pseudomonas lung infections. Transave also previously completed enrollment in two Phase II trials including an evaluation of Arikace as a treatment for non-CF patients who have bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas lung infections and a U.S. study in CF patients with Pseudomonas lung infections. Arikace has been granted orphan drug status in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of Pseudomonas infections in patients with CF.

Wen 6110 Tree Branch Trimmer
I don't have a blade problem, I have a motor problem. I used to have just ONE of these 6110, then I sold it... big regrets. So now I have TWO that I have picked up. One of them performs well as expected, BUT THE OTHER unit seems to spin up (rpm) just fine (and I have a RPM tach that is a contact time, but the distance from the trigger to the motor so far has left me NOT getting that accomplished) So it spins, BUT when you go to set it on a branch etc. it boogs right down... my dad used to say "poo poo"... just has no guts. SO I OPENED them both up. ONE unit has a 120volt, 60hz rating, BUT THE OTHER (WHICH HAS ALL OF THE "UL" RATINGS ETC ON THE HANDLE) has a 230VOLT / 50 hz MOTOR... Where did this come from? It has the typical two wires coming down from the switch (black and white), the motors look identical BUT for the markings. The 230 v one had a couple of capacitors soldered in line to the brush wires and the "caps" went to ground on the motor housing. I removed these and tried it, seems to spin fine. BUT when I cross check resistance through armature, field packs etc, they all have different readings. I was going to get my wire length meter (TDR) off the shelf and see if I can find the winding distance differences (I know it reads distance pretty accurate, NOT sure on windings applications though. Sure hate to try and rewind this motor. I have looked Google, Grainger, Small Motor.com, etc have had no luck on this. MAYBE I JUST HAVE A "PARTS MACHINE" ON MY HANDS... I did call the guy I bought it from and he "wiggled" every which way that one can. Although, he gave me everything including the O.E. packaging... just a strange one. I'll try to get "RPM" differences, should be about 3600 and also winding "wire length". So just looking for help, thoughts OR MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE has one they are going to scrap out and I would buy the motor / motor end.

1) This hack is complete, so the beta ends at the end of the game
2)I believe you get Aerodactyl as a fossil, in Mt Skywall. After you get Surf, you can progress further into Mt Skywall, by crossing those little lakes. Progressing, you should see some little caves, and there are 2 fossils inside. I think of of them is Aerodactyl.
You get Charmander in Marble city in a house. (Other two, no idea.)

The Spencer County Board of Education Monday night discussed the usefulness of a recent survey of school parents and staff. Board member Lynn Shelburne called into question Superintendent Chuck Adams' handling of the survey results.
"If you read through the comments from the staff," she said, "and you read through the comments from the parents, that's where you get down to, I feel like, the nitty gritty of feelings of how the district is. And I wonder how that information is being used."
A small majority of Spencer County Democrats "feel the Bern" according to last week's primary voting that showed Democratic candidate for President Bernie Sanders getting 51.17 percent of the vote in the county, compared to 42.73 percent for Hillary Clinton.
Sanders racked up 806 votes in the county, Clinton received 673, and 67 voters marked "uncommitted."
It wasn't a typical small town purse snatching that led to three Taylorsville residents being arrested Monday. A theft ring involving high-priced handbags from the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Simpsonville netted the recovery of thousands of dollars in merchandise following a three week investigation.
Outdoor movie and Reds mascot to visit Ray Jewell Park
On May 20, S.C. Dreamers will be hosting an outdoor movie at Ray Jewell Park, showing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2014), when it gets dark enough. Free to everyone, all are invited.
On June 14, Cincinnati Reds mascot Gapper will be visiting our T-ball and coach pitch teams on June 14, 6:30-7:30 p.m., and all are welcome to come say hi.
Spencer County's public school students won't immediately experience any changes to policy on who is permitted in which restroom, superintendent Chuck Adams said, despite a directive sent to public school districts Friday from the Obama administration.
The directive threatens to withhold federal funding from public school districts unless they allow transgender students to use the restroom or locker room that corresponds to their gender identity.
In-depth debate over the county budget is likely to take place this morning in a special called meeting of the Spencer County Fiscal Court. The court briefly addressed the budget during their regular meeting Monday night, but opted to set aside a special meeting to iron out differences before a first reading of the budget can be approved.
One day during his long career as a microscope salesman, Preston Jeffiers suddenly felt sharp pain in his collarbone while moving a large microscope up a flight of stairs.
Jeffiers, now 74, who's lived in the Normandy area most of his life, had also been noticing a lump on his right cheek. At the doctor, he heard news no one wants: "You've got lymphoma again."
That was October 2005. It was the second time cancer had come calling.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has launched a new online application that allows motorists to renew standard, specialty and personalized Kentucky license plates. The new application is easy to use and is built in a mobile-friendly framework so motorists can access the renewal application from any device.
Roads drove much of the conversation Saturday morning when Spencer County's two state legislators discussed issues with constituents at a legislative breakfast at the Farm Bureau office in Taylorsville.
While State Senator Jimmy Higdon and State Representative James A. Tipton, both Republicans, spoke about budget issues and how the state has tried to get a handle on the pension issue in Frankfort, many of the questions posed to them by residents dealt with current and future road issues.
A woman who tried to sneak a bottle of pills out of her Stephanie Avenue home and refused to obey a law enforcement officer's orders entered a guilty plea May 13 in Spencer District Court.
Kimberly Pittman, 38, who now lives in West Louisville, pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a prescription drug, resisting arrest and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.

August 19, 2009
On Monday I visited the Home Office for a briefing with Lord Brett, the wonderfully titled Identity Minister (add your own 1984 joke here).
I'd been invited to discuss the rollout of the national ID cards scheme which is supposedly gathering speed.
Before going to meet the affable Mancunian Peer, I made some enquiries within the Jewish community as to people's views on whether the cards would be, essentially, good or bad for the Jews.
The general feeling was that anything which helps in terms of security is a good thing, anything which singles out particular groups or minorities (such as us) is a bad thing. So far so obvious.
Overall, however, there was apathy. People believed the introduction of the cards would be of no greater interest or relevance to the Jewish community than other minority groups, or indeed the population in general.
Seemingly, during research carried out in 2004 the most worrying thing for Jews who wanted to obtain an ID card was the possibility that the enrolment centre may only be open on Shabbat. Given that there are a whole other six days in the week, I guess there isn't a great need to fret about that.
Anyway so off I went to the Home Office (very colourful outside, very quiet – and not at all In The Thick of It-esque – inside).
Unfortunately, and slightly to my surprise given that they'd gone so far as to invite the JC in for a cup of tea (which never materialised either), it seems that those in the identity department (as I imagine it's called) have no greater idea of the relevance of the ID scheme to the Jews than the Jews do.
That the research I mentioned above is five years old says plenty.
When asked about the specific benefits, or otherwise, that the cards would provide our community with, Lord Brett and his advisors had few specific answers. Yes, there could be some security benefits for CST and the like if they knew an ID card was government backed and could not be forged. No, it will not say you are Jewish, nor will you be asked at any point while applying to give details of your religion. But that was about it.
More than once he told me one of the most important benefits would be the use of the card as a proof of age for not-too-young youngsters who fancy a quick pint or two. Gone will be the days of schlepping a passport with you to a club to prove you are over 18.
(Incidentally this is something I've never needed to do myself. Being able to grow a not insubstantial amount of stubble not long after my barmitzvah meant securing a drink was never too tough. I remember being served in one pub while actually wearing my school uniform. That's Hull for you. Anyway I digress.)
I did learn a few things. The cards will cost £30 and be valid for ten years. They will not be compulsory. Having one nationally-recognised and government-approved ID card for all will mean (hopefully) less chance of errors and people with fake IDs slipping through the net.
Other than that, hard facts were slim on the ground. "Please just give the cards a chance" seemed to be the government's current line. Don't write the project off as Orwellian straight away. It'll be a grower. Etc etc.
"It will become," Lord Brett said, "the ID of norm", much as chip and pin credit cards started slowly but have now almost entirely obliterated the old 'sign your receipt' system.
Will his prophecy come true? Hard to say. But if the ID card scheme is to be a success, the government will need more than just goodwill and crossed-fingers.

Being Witnessed
Daily OM: When we allow ourselves to be witnessed by another, we cannot help but be transformed by the experience. Whether we are sharing a personal experience, standing in front of friends to celebrate a special occasion, or expressing our unbridled joy or sorrow in front of a loved one, we are allowing ourselves to be seen and experienced in a very intimate way. Not only are we baring ourselves to someone else, but we are allowing that person to hold a very specific kind of space with us so this powerful act can take place. To be witnessed is to let ourselves be seen as we truly are in that moment. Our friends and loved ones can easily be witnesses for us, if only we are brave enough to let them. Your next birthday may be the perfect occasion to experience this sacred act: Invite your friends and loved ones to your special day. During the celebration, stand in front of them and thank them for being there for you. Feel their gratitude, attention, warmth, and support, while noticing the sense of safety you feel as they surround you. If you feel inspired, share your innermost thoughts about the day and your life. You may be surprised at the feelings of peace and validation that arise within you, when you feel safe enough to go deep into your soul and share yourself with those you trust....read more>>>...

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I am learning java concepts. I got a doubt in java inheritance concept. In inheritance we can assign subclass instance to a base class reference and with that we can access only base class function. and we can assign any subclass instance in the hierarchy of inheritance to base class reference.For an type of instance assigning to a particular base class reference we can access only base class functions and i didn't find any difference.
Can any one give me actual concept why we have to assign subclass instances to base class references? what is the need to do that? Instead we can access those base class functions from subclass reference only know.
Explain by considering a particular base class and many subclasses in the hierarchy.

Some women love to cause a lot of drama and there was no other woman in history whose role in the world so very nearly changed the course of world history forever. The Womens Cleopatra Costume features a sleeveless tangerine dress with crisscrossing gold trim on the bodice, a floor length skirt, a gold braid waist sash, an ornate golden collar piece with Egyptian-style designs, a matching tangerine cape, and bracelets onto which the cape is attached. Of course, to show true regency, the costume also includes a golden headpiece with dangling strands that frames the face, a face that is strong and divine. After being involved with Julius Caesar, and Marc Antony upon Caesar's death, having children by both men, she takes her own life when she and Antony lose the Battle of Actium against Caesar's nephew, Augustus. You'll be the most beautiful and divine woman to ever grace the eyes of the party guests at the next trendy costume party you attend.

Research Interests
Girlhood Identities, Gender and Sexuality, Media and Feminist Psychology
My research areas focus primarily on young people, gender and sexuality issues, including sexual health. Some of the specific topics within these areas include investigations related to bodies, sexual coercion, sexuality education, safer sex and 'growing up girl'. I am particularly interested in popular culture both from the perspective of messages about gender/sexuality/body it delivers and how young people make sense of that information. Part of my research on popular culture includes work with younger children examining gender issues in particular. I use feminist, social constructionist frameworks and discursive methods in my research.

Killing people because they steal a buck or 2 from you is just barbaric and uncivilised. That is why we have cops you savages.
Don't you value human life? Do you really think 10 bucks is more important than a human life?
I mean ffs, that is why murder is so rampant in the states, you kill each other over nothing, you just have to look at somebody sideways and boom, there goes your head cause pride is more important than life.
How do you even know the gun is real? Maybe it was just a confused teen in despiration, does he really deserve to die for 1 fuck up? Was your life really in danger? If you had just given him his money you would still be unharmed, the only thing that chances is that a human being gets a second chance at life.
