Weekly Update - 2/28/2014back
Each week, the City Manager's Office provides an update that includes information on programs, services and issues within the City, as well as news, project updates and follow-up information when applicable. It can be found on the City's website.
Rain and Possible Flooding: The storms hitting San Diego today have brought high surf and high winds that have knocked down some trees in town. If you see any downed trees or unsafe storm-related issues, please call Public Services at (619) 522-7380 or after hours call (619) 522-7350. These conditions, along with high tides, also can result in localized flooding. In anticipation of storms forecast through the weekend, the City of Coronado has placed sandbags at two locations in town to help residents protect against any flooding. Sandbags can be picked up from First Street and Alameda Boulevard and from Fourth Street and Alameda. The sandbags are free to residents. City officials recommend that residents park in their driveways to help ensure the easy flow of rainwater into the storm drains. High/low tide predictions through Sunday are:

Suspicious Incident: On Wednesday, February 26, at approximately 7:55 a.m., a 13-year-old girl was walking to school when she was approached by a man driving a truck. The man rolled down his window and offered the girl a ride to school. When she declined, he stated that he was her neighbor. The girl did not recognize the man and immediately ran home and told her mother, who called Coronado Police. The incident occurred at Third Street and Palm Avenue. The man was last seen driving southbound on Palm. The driver was a white male adult, mid-50s, clean shaven with strawberry blonde/gray hair and wearing a light brown shirt. The vehicle is being described as a gold truck with a matching shell. The girl in this incident, and the children in the two other suspicious incidents, did the right thing in trusting their instincts. They ran away and told an adult.
Suspicious Device at Sixth/Orange: Coronado Police were called to the corner of Sixth Street and Orange Avenue on Monday, February 24, after a suspicious backpack was taken to the Coronado Fire Department. Officers and firefighters found a suspicious device in a backpack. The backpack was placed on a bench in the grassy area near the Library. Sheriff's Bomb/Arson Unit was called and removed the device, which turned out to be a pair of training grenades. During the incident, the 1000 block of Sixth was closed to foot and vehicle traffic and the Library's Winn Room was evacuated.
Sheriffs and Police found these two training grenades in a backpack near the Library.
Monthly Port Meeting: The City Manager has begun meeting monthly with executive staff members with the San Diego Unified Port District to discuss various issues. The topics this month included cost reimbursement, Coronado Ferry Landing conditions, concerns with development of Grand Caribe Isle and Tidelands Park permits for special events.
Keep Clear: Weather permitting, the City will paint "Keep Clear" markings on the road at the intersection of Second Street and Orange Avenue to prevent drivers from blocking east-west traffic on Second Street. This area is impacted on the afternoon commute and this effort should improve the conditions for those attempting to cross Second at Orange. Initially, the City will increase enforcement of the area.
Beached Boats: The City has met with the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard to try to come up with solutions to an ongoing problem of boats washing up along the Coronado shore. Often boats whose owners do not have a place to dock their vessels end up anchoring them, often with no one aboard, off the Zuniga Jetty, which is at the tip of Naval Air Station North Island. The City hopes to work with both federal agencies to come up with a plan to reduce the number of boats and the associated removal costs that fall to the Navy and City when this happens several times a year, including two boats that washed ashore this week at North Island.
Silver Strand Scenic Highway Fence: Following a meeting in January with the State parks director and State parks division chief covering a wide range of topics, a second meeting was held this week. City officials, Coronado Cays residents, California State Parks officials and others gathered to discuss the specific issue of the poor condition of the fence along Silver Strand State Beach. Discussions included potential options to improve the area, including possibly a different type of fence and the idea of sharing the costs of a new fence.
Special Events Permits: The following are special events issued for beach and parks scheduled to be held from Saturday, March 1 through Friday, March 7.

Design Review Commission: On Wednesday, February 26, the Design Review Commission approved an exterior remodel for Clayton's Mexican Takeout at 1107 Tenth Street and continued the request for design approval for a remodel to the La Avenida Inn at 1315 Orange Ave.
Community Center Partition Fabric Replacement: Work has been completed to replace the fabric on the movable partitions, which had become damaged over the years. The worn carpet in the Nautalus Room and hallways will be replaced in April.
Above and below: Partitions with new fabric. Carpets are next.
Accessible Pedestrian Signals and Tenth Street Reconfiguration Project: A recommendation to award a construction contract is tentatively scheduled for the March 18 City Council meeting. The project will replace existing pedestrian signal equipment with equipment that provides audible indications, vibrotactile push buttons, and countdown timer pedestrian indicators; it will also reconfigure the Tenth Street and Orange Avenue intersection to accommodate a new signal phasing plan that should be significantly more efficient than the current one.
Countdown timers such as this one are planned for Orange Avenue and Tenth Street.
Cays Force Main Inspection and Air Vacuum Assembly Replacement Project: An award of a construction contract for the Cays Force Main Inspection and Air Vacuum Assembly Replacement Project is planned for the March 18 City Council meeting. The project will install two access ports to allow videotaping of approximately one-third of the 3.7-mile wastewater main that connects the Coronado Cays pump station to the Glorietta Bay pump station. This internal inspection, along with laboratory analysis of removed sections of the pipe, will supplement the already completed exterior inspections to provide a pipeline condition assessment of the remaining useful life of the force main and help plan for its eventual replacement. The project also will replace all seven of the air vacuum assemblies which have deteriorated due to the corrosive environment. There are expected impacts to the Bayshore Bikeway that may result in temporary closures and detours.
Sidewalk Closure adjacent to Bank of America: The contractor will continue to work on the painting of the exterior building walls of the Bank of America building at Orange and B avenues. Per the bank's approved permits from the City and the California Department of Transportation, the contractor will temporarily close the sidewalks along Orange and B with the restriction that only one side may be closed at any given time. The sidewalk closure for the 1000 block of B Avenue is planned for Monday and Tuesday, March 3-4. The sidewalk closure for Orange Avenue is planned for Wednesday and Thursday, March 5-6. Any additional work required is not expected to restrict access to pedestrians. During this time, the contractor will work with the adjacent businesses to maintain access during business hours.
Orange Avenue sidewalk in front of Bank of America will be temporarily closed for painting.
Youth Programs: On Tuesday, the Tweens group made button trees. The Teens group also were crafty this week, creating colorful Mardi Gras masks.
Above and below: Library crafts button trees and Mardi Gras masks.
Dr. Seuss' Birthday: This afternoon at 2:30 p.m., the Library will host a birthday party for Dr. Seuss. There will be crafts, a showing of "The Lorax" movie, refreshments and visits from the Cat in the Hat, Thing One and Thing Two. The Octagon Club, an active youth service organization affiliated with the Optimist Club, will be assisting with all the activities, including a fundraising bake sale.
Book Talk: On Saturday, February 22, Barbara McNally spoke to an appreciative audience about her memoir, "Unbridled." She sold 10 copies of her book and the proceeds went to the nonprofit organization, Dress for Success, which helps needy women learn interview skills and provides appropriate interview clothing. McNally had previously donated a copy of her book to the Library.
Crime Spree Arrest: Last Friday, February 21, David Pena of San Diego was taken into custody for a series of crimes he committed in Coronado on January 19. Pena went on a crime spree breaking into two homes, two vehicles and attempted to break into two additional houses before stealing a car, crashing it and fleeing the scene. Pena was charged with burglary, grand theft, auto theft, and hit and run. His bail was set at $130,000.

Probation Detail: On Saturday, February 22, Sgts. Diana Drummey and Matt Mitchell as well as Detective Jason Hurley participated with San Diego County law enforcement agencies for the monthly probation compliance checks throughout the County.

Coronado Police Honored: The Police Department was honored at the San Diego Food Bank's Recognition Luncheon held yesterday at the Food Bank's facility in San Diego. The Police Department participated in the Holiday Food Drive, which resulted in the collection of 1,111 pounds of food. Those involved thank Coronado residents, staff and volunteers for helping reach the Department's goal of collecting 1000 pounds in food donations. This year, they say their goal is 5,000 pounds.

He also reminds students of the importance of wearing a helmet and securing it properly. He even gave a few warnings. When he arrived on Tuesday, February 25, to his surprise, every single wheels riding student was wearing a helmet properly. He was very pleased.

Foreign Visitors: Naval officers from Egypt, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and Turkey were given a tour of the Police Department on Wednesday, February 26. The Naval officers are in Coronado on a 10-week Senior Officers Amphibious Planning Course at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado.
Navy Exercises: The Navy conducted a training exercise on Thursday, February 27, as part of a weeklong exercise. They used an Improvised Explosive Device, or IED, Simulator that created a very significant boom. The event was scheduled to occur between 9:05 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. on Pier Lima. Due to the sensitive nature of the exercise, this information was not made public prior to the event. As a result there was no press or public media releases.

The No. 21 UCLA Baseball team dropped the series finale to Long Beach State on Sunday afternoon, falling to the Dirtbags by a score of 8-5 at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif.
Ryan Rosetta (1-0) earned the win for Long Beach State with four scoreless innings in relief. Sophomore Cody Poteet took the loss for the Bruins to drop to 2-2 on the year, pitching an inning and allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits. Logan Lombana picked up the save with three shutout innings in relief while Ryan Strufing started the game for Long Beach State, lasting just 1.2 innings and allowing five runs on four hits.
Long Beach State took the early lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first. After Garrett Hampson hit a single with one out, Ino Patron stepped in and hit a double to the left-center gap, scoring Hampson to make it 1-0 Dirtbags. The next batter was Richard Prigatano, who hit a single to right-center to bring home Patron and give Long Beach State a two-run lead.
The lead would be short-lived though as UCLA took back the lead in the top of the second with five runs. Sophomore Ty Moore led the inning off with a double to right to bring up freshman Luke Persico. Some controversy then ensued as Persico smacked what looked to be a two-run home run. However, the umpires convened and ruled the ball was a double, sending Persico to second and Moore to third. Moore would come around to score though on the next at-bat as freshman Dominic Miroglio hit a sacrifice fly to bring him home, cutting the Long Beach lead to one.
After a single by junior Chris Keck, sophomore Trent Chatterton came to the plate and laid down a perfect squeeze bunt to score Persico, tying the game at 2-2. The next batter was senior Pat Gallagher, who blooped a single to right-center to score Keck and give the Bruins a one-run lead. The scoring wouldn't stop there though, as a walk to senior Brian Carroll loaded the bases before sophomore Christoph Bono drew a hit by pitch, bringing in Chatterton and making it 4-2 UCLA. Two batters later, Moore came up for the second time in the inning and drew a bases loaded walk to score another run and chase Strufing from the game.
In the bottom half of the inning, Long Beach State came back with four runs of its own to take a 6-5 lead. The Dirtbags led off the inning with three straight singles from Eric Hutting, Zack Domingues and Colton Vaughn, the last of which scored Hutting to make it 5-3 Bruins. After a bunt single by Johnny Bekakis chased Poteet from the game and loaded the bases with nobody out, freshman Scott Burke entered for the Bruins and got the first two batters he faced, striking out Hampson and getting Patron to foul out to third. However, he gave up a two-run single to Prigatano on the next at-bat, allowing the Dirtbags to tie the game at 5-5. Then with runners on first and third, Michael Hill came to the plate and reached on an error by Burke on a comebacker, bringing in Bekakis and giving the Dirtbags the lead.
In the bottom of the third, Long Beach State tacked on another run as Hutting tripled to lead off the inning before coming home on a single by Vaughn, making it 7-5 Dirtbags. The Dirtbags also added a run in the bottom of the fourth, as Alex Bishop scored Prigatano from third with a RBI groundout off of freshman Nick Kern to increase the Long Beach lead to three.
The scoring slowed down from there as both sides were held scoreless for the next two innings. Then in the top of the seventh, UCLA threatened by getting the first two batters on base in the form of junior Shane Zeile and Moore. The Bruins would fail to cut into Long Beach State's lead though, as back-to-back strikeouts and a groundout ended the inning. The Bruins went down in order in the final two innings and they went on to lose to Long Beach State, 8-5.
Moore led the Bruins at the plate, reaching base in four of his five plate appearances. Moore went 2-3 with two doubles, a run and a RBI. Chatterton and Gallagher added a run and a RBI as well.
UCLA (18-12) will continue its road trip next week beginning with a Tuesday tilt at Cal State Fullerton (16-11) at 6 p.m. down at Goodwin Field in Fullerton, Calif.
Game Notes: UCLA has now had at least one batter get hit by a pitch in 10 straight games and has had a total of 52 batters get hit by a pitch on the season…Pat Gallagher stole the first base of his collegiate career in the fourth inning…UCLA's streak of 17 straight wins away from home was snapped with today's loss…with his two scoreless innings today, Max Schuh has now not allowed an earned run in his last 11 appearances (9 IP)…the two schools combined to score nine runs on nine hits in the second inning today…David Berg made his Pac-12 leading 24th appearance with his scoreless inning in relief today.

Government control of expression has always been strong in the Russian empire and the Soviet Union, reaching new highs (or lows) during the Soviet period. In the last years of the Soviet Union and the first years of post-Soviet Russia, censorship seemed to disappear, but now there is no doubt that it is on the rise again. Professor Choldin has spent nearly 40 years studying censorship in the Russian empire and the Soviet Union. She will describe the themes and techniques of imperial and Soviet censorship, illustrating their similarities and differences, and will share with us some of her adventures while conducting her research.
Prior to our program, Julia Gardner, Head of Reader Services, Special Collections Research Center, will give a tour of Recipes for Domesticity: Cookery, Household Management, and the Notion of Expertise.

In "Forms and Formats of Autobiography," Hillary Chute will offer a brief history of different contemporary forms of autobiographical practice, from zine-making to autobiographical comics to photography and filmmaking. Right now, particularly, we see an explosion of all sorts of mixed-media autobiographies in print—even in an age when print is said to be waning. Professor Chute will assess the rise of formats like comics and zines to address the self, offering a history of their emergence, and suggesting how they conceptualize the self (as well as how they are taking their place in the academy).
Prior to our program, Sarah G. Wenzel, Bibliographer for Literatures of Europe & the Americas,will give a tour of the exhibit, My Life Is an Open Book: D.I.Y. Autobiography.

Yannis Laspas, CEO Flegra SA, told this writer today of exciting new plans for his family's flagship Flegra Palace Hotel. He recently finalized a lease on a nearby beachfront hotel, restaurant and beach bar in Pefkohori. This ancient village is one of the premiere seaside resort locations in Halkidiki, Greece. The new beachfront hotel, slated to open in May, will be a nice compliment to the Flegra Palace – currently guests cross the street for the short walk to the beach. The addition of the new property will provide guests at both hotels with first class beach and seaside dining facilities, including 500 beach sun beds.
Halkidiki's three peninsulas – Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos – have long been sun-kissed summer playgrounds for Macedonia, Greece. Easy access to dozens of public beaches, natural hot mineral spas, classic white washed villages climbing dramatic cliffs and the incomparable clear blue water of the Aegean attract tens of thousands of visitors annually, especially from Eastern Europe. This being Greece, the landscape is strewn with monuments of its storied history adding to the allure.
The Flegra Palace Hotel is ideally situated to maximize a beach vacation as well as to explore natural and historic beauty. Pefkohori, on the peninsula of Kassandra, is an easy 50-mile drive on modern highways from Thessaloniki's international airport. Family owned since it opened in 1989, the hotel underwent multimillion-dollar renovations in 2008. The rooms surround an opulent pool that is the focal point of the Flegra Palace including the Soleil Bar with its dramatic glass floor jutting over the water. Mixologist Bledor Qapja (Bledi) is also the hotel's farmer tending to an extensive organic vegetable and herb garden. His Yannis' Mojito, made with mastika liquor and freshly clipped mint, will soothe any aches the day may have produced from water sports or hiking.
The attractive modern rooms all have private balconies overlooking the lush landscaped grounds and pool. Many rooms offer views of the Gulf of Kassandra just across the street. All room amenities, including wi-fi, anyone could expect in a resort hotel are available. Since Halkidiki is a family-friendly environment, the Flegra Palace Hotel provides children with many diversions besides the pool and beach. In the warm Greek evening the entire scene is lit by a computer controlled LED system that cycles through soft colors. The light plays on olive and palm trees, flowering plants as well as fountains and a waterfall. Dozens of candles flicker on the tables of the Soleil bar and the Flegra Palace's two restaurants.
The glass walled Titanes room offers both buffet and a la carte dining for breakfast through dinner. The extensive buffet breakfast, included in the room rate, covers all culinary bases and will please carnivores and vegans alike. The mix of Greek and Eastern European foods includes eggs in several styles, sausages and bacon, fresh salad fixings, cheeses and deli meat selections, an array of fresh fruit, juices, yogurt, breads, cereals, granola, nuts and pastries and freshly brewed, strong Greek coffee. It will not fail to fortify a guest for either a day of activities or lounging with a good book. The lunch and evening buffets are equally generous. After all, this is Greece where eating is a national pastime.
The open air Ambrosia restaurant offers superb a la carte dining for lunch and dinner – and deserves its own article. Under the skillful hands of chef Aphrodite Balanou, classic Greek and Mediterranean dishes using the finest meats, seafood and fish with many vegetables and herbs from the hotel garden are given fresh interpretations that will not fail to please discriminating foodies. Dining pool side, or at a table on the glass floor over the water, provides the romantic setting.
Day and evening entertainment is an easy walk or ride into Pefkohori. During the summer season, this family oriented resort town is a marriage of sun, sea and Coney Island. A lengthy beachfront pedestrian walkway becomes a carnival of street food and vendors selling everything one expects from sunglasses to helium balloons. A small amusement park will delight children. Shopaholics will be pleased with the number and diversity of stores. Bar and restaurant hoppers will be sated with dozens of attractive beach venues and music opportunities.
The Halkidiki peninsulas are not as well known to North Americans as the more famous Greek islands, but that is changing through imaginative marketing by the Halkidiki Tourism Organization and the Greek National Tourism Organization. Greek tourism broke all previous records in 2013 with over 17 million visitors and confidently expects to exceed that number this year. Based on the relaxed, comfortable, affordable and delicious hospitality offered by the Flegra Palace Hotel, 2014 ought to be your year to explore both the timeless and less discovered corners of one of Earth's most fabled destinations.
The Flegra Palace Hotel 2014 season runs from May 13 through mid-October. Reservations with early bird specials are available through their web site www.flegra.gr
The gateway city of Thessaloniki is served by direct flights from London and other European cities. Numerous flights from Athens are available and affordable for the short 35-minute journey.

You want it and you want it bad. Aspiring. Hoping. Plotting. Recurring. Reaching. Bubbling beneath your surface. You crave it — and it craves you.
So you make a plan to get it. A to-do list. The bucket list. Quarterly objectives. Strategy. Accountability. The goal. Except . . .
You're not chasing the goal itself, you're actually chasing a feeling.
We have the procedures of achievement upside down. We go after the stuff we want to have, get, accomplish, and experience outside of ourselves. And we hope, yearn, pray that we'll be fulfilled when we get there. It's backwards. It's outside in. And it's running us in circles.

By Peter Wakelin, 2012.
Since the late 1950s, the artist Falcon Hildred has pursued a unique personal project to make a visual record of the buildings of a disappearing industrial culture, of what he calls 'worktown'. His meticulous and often highly evocative drawings capture vital information about townscapes, mills, factories, quarries, bridges, workers' houses, libraries, chapels and many other sites and buildings, conjuring the industrial age in all its grimy vitality.
Born in Grimsby in 1935, Falcon Hildred attended art schools in Coventry and Birmingham and the Royal College of Art. In south London, Coventry, Newcastle, Newport, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Ffestiniog and elsewhere he has observed old industries collapsing, long-established communities being replaced by mass housing schemes and ambitious urban redevelopment taking hold. He could do little to halt this march, but he could at least ensure that monuments to people's daily lives did not disappear without some record being made.
This book surveys the artist's full career, bringing together some 200 images selected from the collections of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, Newport Museum and Art Gallery and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.

OBIEE web SSO with ADFS IdP SAMLv2
By User809526-Oracle on May 27, 2013
The intent of this document is to provide a step by step guide for the configuration and installation of a passive claims-based authentication application. A simple passive claims-based mechanism is illustrated in the below list:
1. User accesses a website (https://obiee-server.us.oracle.com:9804/analytics) to consume its services via a web browser. Such websites are called relying parties.
2. If the user is not authorized to use the relying party, the web application redirects the user to a token issuer / Identity provider (AD FS 2.0 – https://adfs -server.us.oracle.com/adfs/ls).
3. The token issuer prompts the user to enter his credentials.
4. The identity provider uses these credentials to query one claim (such as Name, Common Name, email, sAMAccountName, etc.) from an attribute store (Active Directory).

I can see how people get addicted to betting on races. Keeneland was so much fun. I imagine Christmas would be really beautiful in Kentucky. Or anywhere else besides California for that matter. Surfing Santas just don't cut it.

Album Summary
- Gordan Nikolic (Violin)
- Colin Currie (Percussion)
Notes & Reviews:
Financial Times, July 2012
Veni, Veni gives the lie to the argument that percussion concertos are dependent on visual impact. MacMillan's is an aural blockbuster, and Colin Currie, the soloist, dazzles with his dexterity and musical imagination.
bbc.co.uk, July 2012
[Nikolic] renders electric MacMillan's extraordinary, bleak-sounding Eastern European gypsy strains, building them to a skin-prickling climax of virtuosic frenzy. Meanwhile, the orchestra gives a performance so highly charged you'll be rushing for the programme notes to search for the spiritual meaning behind the piece.
Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2012
Nikolitch is the potent violinist in his expressions of Shostakovich-like apprehension and the orchestra paints an unnerving backdrop of darkness and flickers of light. [Veni, veni] sounds as wonderfully fresh, imaginative, rhythmically impulsive and vibrantly colourful as it did all those years ago at its Proms premiere.
The Arts Desk, October 2012
What you miss is the visual element - being able to see the remarkable Colin Currie rapidly switching between marimba, timps, gongs and cowbells. Challenge Classics's production is handsomely done though - listen through a pair of decent headphones and you can visualise exactly what's going on...It's a wonderful piece, and this is a definitive performance.
BBC Music Magazine, December 2012
MacMillan's is a strikingly expansive view of his own piece, textures lightened, with a feeling of chamber music-making in many places...It's an absorbing spiritual rendition, and I prefer it to its more explicitly virtuosic predecessors.

Two masses at St Mary's church in Douglas have marked 25 years since the ordination of Canon Philip Gillespie, the leader of the Roman Catholic church in the Isle of Man.
Monday's service was attended by clergy from around the island and the UK, MHKs, president of Tynwald Clare Christian, the mayor and mayoress of Douglas and Bishop of Sodor and Mann Robert Paterson.
Lieutenant Governor Adam Wood offered a reading to the 150-strong congregation on Monday, while over 250 worshippers attended Tuesday's service.
Born in Liverpool, Canon Gillespie studied at the English College in Rome and was ordained as a priest in 1989 for the Archdiocese of Liverpool.
He served as curate in Southport and Warrington before becoming parish priest at Christ the King in Childwall Liverpool, then spent eight years as a member of staff at the Catholic seminary in Durham before moving to the Isle of Man.
In 2011 he became head of the Roman Catholic church in the island following the retirement of Canon Brendan Alger.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nisa Wonderfully delicious My son received these for Christmas and I had a few. After that I had to go purchase them for myself. Now I carry them in my pocket at work and hand them out. Everyone is crazy about them! I also pop one in my mouth when I feel hungry and I've lost 5 pounds so far. :) February 1, 2015

The Nook: Saint Paul, MN
After driving around for an hour and wasting $3 on parking for no reason other than the fact that I can't read, we made our way over to The Nook for lunch on Saturday afternoon. We had originally intended on trying out American Burger Bar for lunch, but "Guido", standing outside informed us that they do not open until 4 on the weekends. Once we arrived at The Nook and sat down at the bar, the wife turned to me after picking up a menu and asked me why and the hell I wanted to come here. She had no idea that it was exactly the same as Shamrocks we had just visited a few weeks earlier. I explained to her that I wanted to compare the two places to see if what everyone says is true, about the grill and all.
So I ordered a Red Hook Mudslinger and my Juicy Nookie Burger. The wife thought I should go with the Paul Molitor Burger instead, but I wanted to compare apples to apples since my first experience over at Shamrocks wasn't the best. The wife inquired about the burger of the month, a burger with avocado, bacon and some other stuff piled on it, and ordered that along with her Diet Coke. Meanwhile we got first hand experience of sitting in this neighborhood dive bar. We chatted back and fourth with the people sitting around us along with the three bartenders/wait staff. The grill reminded me of a more deluxe version of that over at Adrian's Tavern. Sitting right next to the bar, the only difference was that they actually had a kitchen of some sort at The Nook.
So the burgers arrived and I dug in. I don't know if it was that I was so hungry as it was already nearing 2:30 and I hadn't eaten all day or the fact that it really was that good. The Nookie burger over at The Nook was a thousand times better than the one at Shamrocks. The cheese was more liquefied and ran like a Lucy should. The wife thought her burger was excellent and could not even compare it to the thing she received over at Shamrock's. Maybe the grill is the difference, but I think not.
My two cents on why The Nook's burger is better than its equal just down the road is this: Shamrocks is not a local neighborhood bar like The Nook, they do not share the same values or the same concept, just the same menu and owners. Shamrocks is more of a bandwagon bar to get the masses through the door on a Wild game night along with that one day a year called St. Patrick's Day. The Nook is your neighborhood hang out with friendly staff who have a system down that works very well in the confined quarters they have to work with. Over at Shamrock's, you are treated as just another person that walked through the door, now leave me 20% and get out! The Nook is also well-known for serving up some good Juicy Lucy's. People come here just for a Juicy while people are heading over to Shamrocks for the free ride to and from the Wild game and to drop $40 on a snack and a few beers. Bottom line is this, The Nook has a great Lucy and Shamrock's needs to send their cooks up the road for some cooking 101 from the real guys that know what's going on.

I have the same experiences when comparing shamrocks to the nook. I only ever went to shamrocks on those days when the nook had an hour plus wait list. I've been to the nook at least twenty times and shamrocks a quarter as many and I can honestly say i have had 100% satisfaction at the nook for both food and friendliness of the staff. Shamrocks doesn't come close.ReplyDelete

"This is the Legend of the Seven Heroes...\\
Once, they subdued countless hordes of demons, and saved the world...\\
And then vanished from it...\\
Kujinshi... Subier... Dantarg... Noel...\\
Bokuohn... Rocbouquet... Wagnas...\\
And one day, so they say, they will return to save the world again..."
Long after the people were scattered across the world, they told the legend, and were thankful for their salvation...
However, as peace and prosperity came, the legend was forgotten...
The world of man was once again prosperous. The peaceful times that brought stability to the nations came to an end. An era of division and war began...
And the names of the Seven were spoken once more...
...and then... they came...
...so they say....
''[=Romancing SaGa 2=]'' is the fifth game in the ''VideoGame/{{SaGa}}'' series, once released [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]] and then to the rest of the world more than twenty years later (as an EnhancedRemake for iOS/Android) by Creator/{{Square|Enix}}soft. It does not focus on just one character, but the lineage of an empire.
!!''[=Romancing SaGa 2=]'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Lots of them.
* [[spoiler:ActuallyADoombot: The Seven Heroes you fought through the game were only copies sent by the original. This is why you eventually fought Kujinshi a second time. To end things once and for all, you have to find and destroy their original body.]]
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Demonstone Ring; it negates status ailments, but you must sleep in the Emperor's Bed otherwise you lose Life Points at an inn, and it can't be unequipped.
* ArtificialGill: The Fishman Potion. Que the annoying FetchQuest. But as a benefit, you unlock the Nereid Class
* BackFromTheDead: Kujinshi and the Hive Queen who receive massive upgrades.
* {{Badass}}
* BagOfSpilling: Subverted, all the items you are equipped with are sent directly back to storage after completing each generation. It's still annoying to reequip the characters you do have though.
* BattleshipRaid: (A Land Battleship!)
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler: It was first shirked off by Emperor Leon until his eldest son was killed by Kujinshi.]]
* BigBad: Wagnas is the Leader of the Seven Heroes. Also, he's also the most difficult.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The termites complete with HiveQueen [[spoiler: in which you have to fight twice by the way.]]
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler: Victor and the Dread Queen (Stronger Hive Queen) only in the UpdatedRerelease on i-mode]]
* CharmPerson: Rocbouquet's Temptation ability charms all males in the party; and there are other techniques as well that can charm allies.
* TheChessmaster: (Bokuohn; as he commands a large number of the monsters under the command of the Seven Heroes)
* ChosenOne
* ClingyCostume: (Subverted) The Iron Will, which can negate mental ailments such as charm but can't be unequipped if gotten through cheats. Some Classes have a permanent 4th item which cannot be removed either
* CombatTentacles: One of the abilities Subier has is called Tentacles; and does it hurt!
* CoolSword: Moonlight Sword has a healing technique built into it in addition to Moonshades, which shoots out frigid Blue Skulls at the enemy.
* ElementalPowers: You cannot have spells of opposite elements, though.
* TheEmpire: You are the ruler this time around!
* EvilGenius: Bokhohn basically weaseled his way into the group. The man is extremely crafty and an amazing politician.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Noel, if you kill Rocbouquet after making peace.]]
* [[FallenHero Fallen Heroes]]: And there are seven of them. [[spoiler: They were betrayed by the people they saved and cast into Hell through dimensional magic.]]
* FlamingSword: (Providence Cut Technique)
* GameFavoredGender: The Final Empress as she will be immune to Rocbouquet's Temptation in the final battle, she also has the Moonlight Sword as the default weapon.
** [[AmazonBrigade The Amazon class]] can be recruited if only you're a woman, [[DoesNotLikeMen since they don't even allow men in their village.]]
** The Emperor, on the other hand, has nearly twice as much LP as the Empress. 19 as opposed to 10, in a game where LP rarely goes near 20 making him a far more durable combatant for the vast majority of the combat. He also has the Day Sword.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Most of the Seven Heroes show up in quests that tie back into their plans and you can go in expecting to fight them. [[TheBrute Dantarg]] is the exception, however, pretty much showing up to fight you without much buildup or prior warning.
** [[JustifiedTrope There is a pretty good reason for that though]]. Unlike the other heroes, [[spoiler: Dantarg isn't really interested in fighting the Empire and instead is on a power trip to absorb monsters to strengthen himself. Where do you meet him? Why, in caves full of monsters!]]
* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Enemy grunts scale up as your characters gain health and skill with weapons. Bosses, however, ''don't''. Not to say that the game is devoid of hard bosses though, it's just you will sometimes end up fighting [[BossInMooksClothing grunts far more dangerous.]]
** The Seven Heroes however are the exception, they do become stronger as you level up, the only one who doesn't is Subier, he is upgraded only if you kill Master of Ocean beforehand. Dantarg has 4 forms depending on your stats.
* HelloInsertNameHere (Subverted) Will only appear in Final Generation
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Strange thing is that Noel does not hate Kujinshi at all and STILL sees potential in him
* HighAltitudeBattle: [[spoiler: Hakuro Castle; AFTER the inner sanctum of the castle is ripped straight out of the ground!]]
* HowWeGotHere: [[spoiler: The Emperor you chose at the start of the game is at the bar where the Bard retells the story of the Empire.]]
* IdeaBulb: This is the game in the ''[=SaGa=]'' series that started the system of learning techniques and evasions during battle.
* JunglePrincess: Rocbouquet.
* LifeEnergy: (LP)
* LostForever: [[spoiler: Coppelia, Mountain Monk if you kill the monster in control of a certain cave, City Thief if you destroy the Canal fortress Gate, Grimoire for Shadow Magic or being able to recruit Salamander depending on what action you take during the second Komulune Island event, Iris; if you use the Helicopter to reach Wagnas.]]
* GlobalCurrency: Crowns.
* MusicalisInterruptus: Dungeon or area music would stop and change to boss music at a certain part of the Dialogue with bosses or the Seven Heroes.
* NoExportForYou: ''[=SaGa=]'' is fairly good at getting across the pond, but this game never made it. It was rereleased on the VirtualConsole in Japan, but there's no word on a translation. A FanTranslation by Aeon Genesis was in the works, but never made it out of DevelopmentHell. Now averted with the worldwide iOS/Android port.
* NoGearLevel: If you choose to sneak aboard Bokuohn's landship by purposely being abducted That being said, characters with StuckItems keep them, making characters like the Molemen a good option for that mission.
* NonHumanSidekick: [[spoiler: They can even be the Emperor once they are recruitable. They also fall under the tropes of OneGenderRace and ElementalEmbodiment.]]
** MoleMen
** [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Merfolk]]: The Nereids
** Salamander
** HarpingOnAboutHarpies: The Irises
* OutsideContextVillain: The Hive Queen. Whereas most of the large-scale villainy can be attributed to either the Seven Heroes or someone working under them, the Hive Queen is an entirely separate and destructive force. And in fact, she comes further in destroying Avalon than anyone else, [[spoiler: seeing as how she pulls an AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs on you near the end.]]
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: And how!
* PaletteSwap: Every recruit-able character and emperors except Leon, Gellard, Last Emperor/Empress, and a few others...
* Precursors: [[spoiler: The Ancients were afraid of death and hated fighting; they had a longer lifespan that modern man, after the Seven Heroes saved the world; they were still fearful of death, they used a dimensional device or magic to escape to another dimension.]]
* RemadeForTheExport: The iOS/Android port.
* RuinsForRuinsSake: 3 of them; all sidequests.
* {{Samurai}}: East Guard.
* SequentialBoss
* ShoutOut: The names of one particular group ([[spoiler:the Seven Heroes]]) are actually anagrams of stops in train lines in Japan. Also, the music from the GameBoy ''[=SaGa=]'' games is used in one scenario.
* SixthRanger: Kujinshi was the last person to join the group and is pretty much hated even within the group, because of his ill-manners. Apparently, that's the reason why the player fights him in the very beginning, because [[UriahGambit Wagnas and Co uses him as a meat-shield]].
* TheStrategist
* SupportingLeader: Noel is Wagnas' best friend and the one whom organizes the group. For instance, he recruited Dantag and Kujinshi. Considering he is the most normal one of the group, this should not be overly surprising
* SwordFight: [[spoiler: A one on one battle with Sekishusei; Retainer to Lord Ato; Ruler of the Eastern Lands.]]
** [[spoiler: Victor in the Mobile Remake has this with the Last Emperor]]
* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Leon to Gellard.]]
** Also can happen in later generations if you get a TotalPartyKill.
* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler: To allow Kujinshi to be defeated, the first emperor allowed him to use Soul Steal on him so that he could learn the secrets of this attack and then by mean of the transmission magic transmit it to his son Gellard.]]
* ThievesGuild: Using the empires' own graveyard as their base of operations
* TimeSkip: From less than a year to 250 years depending on how many enemies you killed.
* TookALevelInBadass: Gellard, [[spoiler: after his father's death by Kujinshi.]]
** Every person ascending to become Emperor or Empress gets this since it removes any CripplingOverspecialization their initial class would have had (a SquishyWizard receives more health and proficiency in previous weapons, a BareFistedMonk can handle weapons and use magic, etc.)
* TrojanHorse: [[spoiler: The only way to sneak aboard Bokuohn's Land battleship; creating a fake one to draw the enemies away from the real one.]]
* WarriorPrince: You are the Emperor who has to save the world.
** BadassPrincess: If you're female.
* UpdatedRerelease: For the Wii's virtual console and the i-mode phone. Includes new dungeons and bosses
* WhatTheHellHero: To get the Dark Magic, you must allow the towns of Zemio and Tsukijima to burn. This however causes the Emperor of that time period to abdicate the throne.
* {{Wutai}}: The entire Eastern lands.

Prepare For a Week of Vick vs. McNabb
A third consecutive successful game to start the NFL season would normally earn Michael Vick some attention, but not a crazy amount. His 321 total yards and four combined passing and rushing touchdowns in a road blowout of Jacksonville Sunday raise the volume a bit more. But Philadelphia's next game all but guarantees something wild will happen.
One Donovan McNabb returns to Philadelphia this weekend. It's like getting into a car crash, you finally calm down when it's clear everyone's alright and you realize in horror that the other car was carrying Miley Cyrus. This will not end quietly.
Some predictions: As Tuesday and Wednesday come around, we'll have comments from Eagles players about how it's just another game for them, while Redskins players get fired up to help McNabb win. Vick might talk glowingly about how it was McNabb who made the case for the Eagles to sign him. Andy Reid will get sentimental at some point. Clinton Portis will tweet a ridiculous comment about the game. Someone on Washington will make a dog fighting comment and have to apologize for it. By Saturday, we'll be in full-blown circus mode. Full chunks of pregame shows on Sunday will be dedicated to Vick and McNabb. They may even trot out Paul Pasqualoni, the former Syracuse coach who recruited Vick to follow McNabb at quarterback for the Orangemen.
In short, even if Vick wanted to run and hide from the attention, he can't. Vick has been, for lack of a better term, Favred.
"Welcome to a week that promised to be very interesting from the moment the Eagles traded McNabb to the Washington Redskins," the Philadelphia Inquirer's Bob Ford writes. "The plot was already intriguing, with McNabb returning to match offenses with the young quarterback who toiled in his shadow for three years. Now it is even better."
"Next week's going to be a great test," writes Derek at Iggles Blog. "I'm looking forward to it. [But not] what we're about to go through the next six days. Heaven help us."
Only in Philadelphia can you raise the question of whether the Eagles' top quarterback ever, who was shown the door in an offseason trade, will be booed when he returns. "There will certainly be Philly fans who cheer for McNabb because they are knowledgeable of the fact that he is clearly the best quarterback in Eagles history," the Bleacher Report's Ray Boyd writes, noting that there will be plenty of boos as well. "It's funny how the people who advocated against Michael Vick's return to football in the first place will be some of the same people who boo McNabb and cheer for Vick now. McNabb throughout his career has been nothing but a stand up individual."
McNabb's Redskins, meanwhile, were destroyed by the St. Louis Rams in Week Three, 30-16, dropping them to 1-2. "I have to wonder if Donovan McNabb and the Redskins were looking ahead to next week's matchup with McNabb's old team and had all but chalked up a win against the Rams," Mark Haselden of the Florence Morning News writes. "If so, what a colossal mistake."

Of all the surprising teams in the NFL, none are easier to root for than the Kansas City Chiefs, who improved to 3-0 with a 31-10 thumping of the 49ers. It's a franchise that hasn't been to the Super Bowl in over 40 years, has a loyal but disgruntled fan base, and features rotating redemption stories on the coaching staff, with offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Rome Crennel. With a two-game AFC West lead in the early going, it's definitely got the right prelude to a stellar NFL story.
"A city and fan base wake up this morning to a new way of thinking about their football team," the Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger writes. "Kansas City needs to relearn how to deal with a winning pro team. This is happening sooner than anyone expected, and it caught us all a little surprised."

The New Jersey Nets are owned by a Russian billionaire and one of the music industry's most successful artists. They will be moving to Brooklyn in the near future. They have a young core that is better than their 12-win total last year would indicate. The New York Knicks, meanwhile, are owned by an aloof and sometimes bumbling cable magnate. This offseason they pondered bringing back Isiah Thomas. So why Carmelo Anthony, in the last year of his contract, is reluctant to join the Nets and hold out hopes of being traded to the Knicks is beyond the grasp of a lot of people.
It's not entirely clear what is holding up a four-team megatrade that would send Anthony to New Jersey. Some reports say Anthony won't agree to a pre-trade extension with the Nets because some former players have given New Jersey poor reviews. Sam Amick of FanHouse reports that the other teams involved in the four-way trade are now growing increasingly suspicious of the Denver front office, feeling they may have been used to pump up trade value. The rumored entries of the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors seem to back this theory up.
Still, for all the back and forth and rumor-mongering, two NBA luminaries are telling Anthony he should reconsider leaving. Kobe Bryant told Yahoo's Marc Spears that he shouldn't "make a move just to get out of the situation," while former Pacers star Reggie Miller urged him to stay put and sign an extension with Denver. "He's had seven great years there," Miller told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. "They've been very loyal to him. I'm not saying he's not been loyal to them. I just like guys starting and finishing careers (with the same team). Lay roots. Build a home. Do things like that. Things don't go right you just don't want to bail ship."

In the Australian Football League's Grand Final on Saturday (Australia's version of the Super Bowl), Collingwood and St. Kilda found themselves tied as time expired, bringing up a quirky AFL rule that has caused a storm of controversy: there is no overtime in the final. No penalty kicks, no coin flip, no extra time. The game ended in a draw and a replay — only the third replay in 114 seasons — will take place this weekend. The rematch is expected to bring in an additional $10 million for the AFL, but the league did up the allotted number of tickets to the club's supporters, meaning the common fan won't be wholly shut out of the game for corporate types. AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou also noted that the game will feature extra time if the teams are tied. As the Sydney Morning Herald report, "[Demetriou] said it was inappropriate to have the teams play each other three weeks in a row for the premiership."
The lack of overtime in the final, which has been roundly criticized by players and fans alike, even has some blushing brides angry. International College of Celebrancy principal Dally Messenger told the Sydney Morning Herald that plenty of weddings across the country will be postponed. "There will be heaps of people postponing weddings, there will be lots of people unwillingly going to weddings that they can't dodge," Messenger said. "It really sends the whole wedding world into chaos."

Pope Francis prides himself with self-effacing behavior. The Pontiff sat down to lunch on Friday with employees of the Vatican's canteen at a large cafeteria-style table reported Vatican Radio. This surprise and humble act comes on the same day as a United States trip for 2015 was announced. What does the leader of the Catholic Church eat and exactly when will North America get to meet him?
Around noon Rome time Pope Francis shocked workers of the Vatican canteen as he took a tray and cutlery and entered the food line to select his lunch. He ordered pasta sans the sauce, and kept to a meatless Friday with cod and grilled tomatoes. The Pontiff then joined a group of Vatican employees at a long rectangle table for lunchtime conversation.
Chef Franco Pai'ni explained Pope Francis' lunch visit "like a thunderbolt out of the blue." The Vatican's cook reported His Holiness was introduced to the entire staff and took an interest in their lives and work. The Pontiff then complimented them on the food, gave a blessing and posed for a group photograph, small acts of kindness that speak volumes to the world.
The Catholic News Service also reported on Friday that Pope Francis has agreed to a United States visit in September of 2015, although an official announcement has yet to be released from the Vatican. Charles J. Chaput, Philadelphia Archbishop, told the Catholic News Service the Holy Father has accepted his invitation to attend the World Meeting of Families next year, which is scheduled in Philly September 22-27, with Pope Francis allegedly in attendance that Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The statement was made on Thursday during Archbishop Chaput's homily of the opening Mass of the Tekawitha Conference in Fargo, North Dakota.
A press release has yet to confirm Pope Francis' United States visit. However, reports claim the Pontiff is also considering stops in New York, including the United Nations and Washington. The Catholic News Service stated a confirmation could come six months prior to the event.


text: Hi Jeff, one remark: Are you using Opus 4.3.4 or 4.4.x ? As far as I can remember, Opus 4.3.4 was not at all able to hadle xauth authorisation, because it was statically linked to X11R3 libs, which didn't know about xauth. If it's 4.4.x this shouldn't be the problem. Have you tried "unix:2" and ":2" as Display settings? As far as I can remember AIX takes some info from these virtually identical settings and uses different transport mechanisms ('hostnae':2 goes via TCP, unix:2 via sockets and :2 via shared mem) One more question: Have you ever succeeded in running Opus in VNC? Me and some other guy out there have the problem, that VNC redraws the whole screen every second due to the silly colormap changes, Opus sends out for blinking layers. Did anyone succed in suppressing this? Regards, Andreas > In our environment here, we have our CAD tools layered within wrapper after > wrapper of environment settings.

Your poem is beautiful;
"I'll be not far, I promise that
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go"
The pain will fade with time, but you will always have your memories.
Big hugs from me too. xxx

Oh Trudi, I'm sitting here welling up reading that lovely poem, and seeing Starletts photo.
You gave her a wonderful life, and knew when it was time to let her go, and I'm sure you'll meet up with her again some day.
I still miss Grouse, who we had to pts a year ago last March, but we have wonderful memories, as I'm sure you have of Starlett - please take care, and stay in touch on here from time to time.

The problem here is that, all too often, these are the only voices that are heard. In churches today, the majority of the population does not fall into the group that we refer to as "elders." In fact, it is impossible to ignore the fact that our places of worship are filling each week with a younger generation of Christians that have fresh views and ideas of what it means to worship our Creator and serve God's people.
I am not promoting any kind of upheaval or revolution. I am simply suggesting that the voices of the younger generations should be heard. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity." (1Tim. 4:12 NIV) We are all given very specific, meaningful gifts that are to be used for His glory. We all have experiences that could be helpful when shared with other believers. Sharing these experiences and utilizing your gifts are vital for you to grow in your faith, and essential to helping those around you grow. So even if you feel ignored, speak up. There is always somebody listening, and you may have just what they need to hear. Think about it.

There are Cornhole bags, and then there are ACO STANDARD Cornhole bags. So, what's the big deal? LOTS! ACO standard bags are something you can't locate next to the golf balls at K-Mart. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find them anyplace besides the link provided in this article.
Just like ACO standard Cornhole boards, the bags must also meet ACO standards. No, you cannot bring your own bags to an ACO tournament. So leave your Ohio State fashioned, corn-filled bags in the trunk ok? You can still show off your hat, that's cool. ACO bags are not packed with corn! Nope, they are filled with Resin, which is a kind of tree sap that becomes dense when exposed to air. Resin doesn't break down like corn and lasts longer so you won't see that typical "puff" of corn-dust when your bags smack against the board surface like you observe with "other" bags.
ACO Cornhole bags are required to weigh 16oz. and the covers are prepared from a suede or felt fabric and have two distinctive sides. One side is tacky and generally used for stopping the bag on the surface of the board to setup a block. The other side is smooth and used to glide the bag along the surface of the board. Most Pros utilize the smooth side of the bag to slide it right into the hole. You can obviously understand playing with ACO-sanctioned Cornhole bags allows far greater strategy and technique. This is the beauty of watching Professional Cornhole! Each player develops his/her own individual strategy based on how the game is progressing. Some Pro players are more defensive minded and love to use the tacky side of the bag for blocking the hole, while other players prefer to go for the hole using the smooth side. But don't overlook the "airmail" shots! Most ACO Pro players can go up and over the defensive blocks and sink it right into the hole like a three-point swish in basketball. This isn't easy to do on a consistent basis but that's what separates the Pros from the Joe's out there because they can!
If you've never thrown corn using professional bags you don't know what you're missing. Using ACO-sanctioned Cornhole boards and bags brings a whole new echelon of delight to the game. Follow the link above and invest in the real thing.

Manchester City are looking to Portugal to address their depth problems at center back.
FC Porto's Elaquim Mangala has become a major target for the title-challenging club and is said to be weighing up a £20m bid, according to the Daily Mail.
At just 23 years of age, Mangala would be considered a long-term addition to the squad and could fit in straight away next to captain Vincent Kompany.
City nearly acquired Mangala in the January window, but a deal collapsed as the window closed.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have shown interest in the French center half who moved to Porto for £5.4m from Standard Liege. In his time there, he's won back-to-back titles and has also featured at left back.
Mangala is also considered a major threat on set pieces.

Brine injection wells mean money for Ohio
Ohio has made $1 million off brine injection wells during the first nine months of 2011, according to figures from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Brine is a byproduct of gas and oil drilling including hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which water, chemicals and sand are blasted into rocks thousands of feet below the ground to unlock natural oil and gas.
The fee, which the state implemented last year with the passage of Senate Bill 165 in 2010, levies a 5-cent-per-barrel tax on all injected brine that originates from Ohio.
It also imposes a 20-cent-per-barrel tax on injected brine from out-of-state.
The latter fee was implemented under the theory that it would deter oil and gas drilling operations in Pennsylvania and West Virginia from transporting brine water to the Buckeye State.
But so far, that hasn't happened.
Read the complete story in Wednesday's Vindicator and at Vindy.com.
What is going to happen to those that own homes that depend upon wells as a water source when this practice causes wells to go bad.The state is putting money ahead of protecting homeowners whose houses will become worthless if their water goes bad because of the brime injectons
As long as those homeowners limit their drilling for water to under 9,000' there should be no problem . . . ..
I smell trouble in the future.
More cancer?
WOW 1 million dollars. Ohio has around 11.5 million people. That would be around $0.08 per person. What a great deal for the citizens of Ohio. Plus stan said "there should be no problem."
Once these wells start producing, Ohio will be reaping the benefits!
Ever watch a glass recently emptied of a cold liquid mysteriously skate across a table as the water from condensation provides a suspension and lubrication layer between the glass and the table?
Sometimes it takes a little tap to get it moving, of course.

Keeping track of when your
crying poop monster bundle of joy last ate and slept is challenging enough when you're low on sleep and jacked up on hormones. Factor in the fact that you've got another person who's also feeding your babe while sleep deprived and possibly terrified, and there's pretty much no way you're going to remember when those tiny lips last met a bottle or boob. This is where a baby log comes in, and our frontrunner right now is Skip Hop's Day to Night Baby Log ($39) for its built in light and illuminated clock and date display. Once your baby's asleep, there's no way you want to risk turning on a light to write anything down.
As crazy as it sounds to girls who don't have babies, this thing is so freaking handy to have, especially when your doctor asks you at every visit how much your kid is eating and peeing every day. Um...you're lucky I remembered to shower let alone actually remember how many diapers I changed today

With the Jamaican Parliament seriously debating marijuana legalization, ganja gardeners and pot producers are proactively establishing an association to oversee a potential multi-billion dollar industry.
The Cannabis Future Growers and Producers Association intends on leading the burgeoning Jamaican cannabis industry. The Association will launch on January 18 as part of a six-hour forum entitled "Going Forward – Legalise It" to be held at the University of the West Indies in Mona, St. Andrew.
Among the association's positions is that Jamaica should have ownership of no less than 55 percent of all licensed cannabis industry establishments and investments. The Association also wants to maintain strict enforcement and penalties for illegally exporting cannabis.

By now you've been bombarded with countless takes on Christmas cheer, but the holidays wouldn't be complete without a festive anthem and accompanying video from a cute boy band. Mindless Behavior's "Christmas With My Girl" seeks to make time-honored winter traditions new again by infusing their video with four times the swag Justin Bieber can muster in a single clip. The proven partiers split their hosting duties between indoors and out, entertaining age-appropriate ladies with games of foosball and tree decorating before crossing sledding, snowball fights and snowman building of their winter to-do list. Girls, take note: they're throwing snowballs at you because they like you. React appropriately. Everyone is having so much fun, we almost want to brave the 30-ish degree weather and join them—almost. Though Bieber might take issue with the multiple references to "mistletoe" and their take on his steampunk experiment, Mariah Carey should feel better knowing the boys share her belief that sunglasses should be worn during any and all holiday celebrations. Behold, the power of numbers.

The Holidays are fast approaching and it's time to start getting your gift list together. In this day of mass production - what better way to make someone feel special than to give a personalized, monogrammed item. The pillow above makes such a statement in the bedroom, living room or anywhere one could imagine! It can also be customized in a variety of base fabrics, thread colors and font options.
While the shop orders from lines that specialize in embroidered and appliqued monograms, we also do custom work right in the shop. Be sure to order your items soon as monogram takes time and it is "high season" for gift giving.
One of the "safest" yet always appreciated gifts you can give is a set of white on white cocktail napkins. These Sferra napkins are classic and provide the perfect pairing to your favorite Bordeaux.
Of course there are times when a single initial works best and that is exampled below in Matouk's appliqued guest towels.

Volunteer Process
To become a volunteer sign up for Girl Scouts here, then complete the volunteer application, and you will then be directed to complete the following steps:
1. Select a Role
If you're not sure which opportunity to choose, select "Other", and we'll help you find the right one for you.
2. Background Check
Because you'll be working directly with youth, this step is required. This will take a few days to process.
3. Become a Member
You will provide us with some more detailed information about you and pay the national membership dues of $15. Dues support the national Girl Scouts organization, covers you under our liability insurance, and supports the research and program development our local council relies upon.
