Constitution is supreme
Mangi Abelam
Posted Dec 15, 2011 10:01 AM
With respect and we can leave the racial slurs out. Oneil is erring badly. He knows it, he knows he is going to jail and that is why he wants to seize power. He is desperate because like Mr Speight of Fiji, he could be in jail for a very long time. He is now on a road that he really cannot pull back from.
I can only hope Sir Michael sees this and offers him the deputy pms job to end the stalemate.
Our constitution states:
Sec 10 - Written Laws
All written laws (other than this Constitution) shall be read and construed subject to:
a) in any case - this constitution;
b) in the case of Acts of Parliament - any relevant organic laws
(each law cannot exceed its authority, my paraphrasing)
Sec 11 - Constitution as Supreme Law
This consitution and the organic laws are the supreme laws of Papua New Guinea .... all acts whether executive, judicial or legislative that are not consistent with the constitution are invalid and inneffective.
I have shortened the actual narrative just to show the operation bits. Seriously, Oneil and his group are breaking the constitution in ways that most people have not thought of in the past. I just hope their lawyers wake up and tell them the truth.

My fiance and I stayed at the Belamere Suites in the middle of March 2009 celebrating our recent engagement. I found the Belamere Suites in search for a hotel or suite offering a private swimming pool in the room. I wasn't trying to travel far, and living in the southeastern Michigan area, Perrysburg OH was only an hour away! I've been to other "boutique hotels," but this one is the best by far! The room was truly breath-taking! Fireplace, jacuuzi, couple's shower, private attached garage, and that swimming pool! The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. They were there when you needed them for extra towels, maps to restaurant's in the area, etc. The rooms did not have microwaves, so if you needed something heated up, the front desk staff would come to your room, get the food, heat it up, and bring it back to you. Complimentary breakfast was brought to your room whenever you called for it every day. My only concern is that this place was under-priced! It's not often I go somewhere and I feel if they wanted another $100 more a night, it would be worth it, but this place was! I think that's what made it so special for us; reasonably priced, and close to home! We vowed to keep this place our little secret from our friends when we just want a quick get-a-way, but it was so nice, I had to at least recommend this place and show the staff and the hotel some love!

Many of you know that this will be the third year that I am participating in the Charlottesville Women's 4 Miler. The proceeds from this awesome race benefit the UVa Cancer Center Breast Care Program. Raising funds for breast cancer awareness, support and finding a cure have always been important to me. Last week, it became more personal for me. My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer. She will undergo surgery next week and eventually start radiation. Fortunately, it looks like it is an early stage and slow moving cancer.
I want to encourage all women to do regular self breast exams. My grandma actually found the lump herself. You can find out more information on doing self exams and mammograms on the Susan G Komen website.
I also want to encourage all of you to get involved. There are 3,300 women running or walking the Women's 4 Miler this year. If you live in this area, chances are you know someone who is participating. Please support these women and their desire to raise money for the Breast Care Program.
Kim Krum is having a "Shear Gratitude" event on Sunday August 23rd from noon-4pm at Salon DeShano to raise funds for her mission to Shave 4 a Cure. If Kim can raise $10,000 for the 4 miler race, she will shave her head! I applaud Kim in her effort and braveness to do something that many of us would not have the boldness to do. Come out on Sunday for a great haircut, prizes, fun and food! Amee and I will be there getting our haircut! Think about it, the minimum donation is $25 and most haircuts cost more than that. Donate for an important cause and get a great haircut in return!
If you know someone participating in the race and would like to sponsor them, you can make a donation online HERE.
Thank you all for your support!

Summertime means trips to the beach and time spent in the heat - so who wants to lug around their makeup case all day? You don't have to ditch all your touch-up tools when heading to the shore. Look for products that are high in SPF, waterproof, lightweight and minimal. Check out these prettifying products that are great for your beach days.
SPF Protection: Being
exposed to the sun for long periods of time means protecting both your face and body. Look for a product that's gentle enough to use on your face with a good amount of SPF like Kiss My Face Sport Spray SPF 50. Make sure to reapply,
especially after spending time in water since it may wash off. If you want to
leave the bottle at home, a compact, spill-proof option is Tocca's SPF 30 Towelettes. Just swipe on and go!
Lip Balm: Just like our lips need protection from getting chappy in the winter, they need shelter from the sun, too. Make sure you apply lip balm often while outdoors. A favorite of ours is EOS lip balm which is in the form of a sphere and
contains Shea Butter and Vitamin E. It's a cute egg-shape so it's eays to spot in your beach bag. If you're looking for a lip balm with a
tint, one of our favorites is Burt's Bees tinted lip balm. These go on sheer and moisturize your lips without feeling heavy or cakey.
Body Mist/ Deodorant: To maintain a fresh scent all day,
toss in a Body Spray that is super-light and refreshing like Dove's Go Fresh Revive Body Mist. They're tiny so they can fit right in your bag and leave a barely there scent perfect for a quick pick-me-up after a day in the heat.
Oil Blotting Paper: A quick
fix after being out in the sun all day and sweating is oil blotting paper. It
helps remove any excess oil your skin may have produced while being outdoors. A
good choice is Clean and Clear's
Instant Oil Absorbing Sheets.
Tinted Moisturizer: If you need a littler coverage, try using a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF. We love Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20. It goes on like a moisturizer and it will help hide blemishes and even out your complexion. Best part? You don't need to spend time in front of a mirror to precisely apply, just avoid your brows and hairline. How's that for a quick beach fix?
Waterproof Mascara: An essential tool for summmertime is waterproof mascara. In between all the
sweating and water activity, waterproof mascara is necessary to avoid the raccoon
eyed look. An oldie but a goodie, Maybelline's New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara is affordable, effective and perfect for your beach bag.
Bonus: How to protect your hair color when you're under the sun!

BostonBruins.com - When Gregory Campbell accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge sweeping social media last Friday, he voiced support for Pete Frates and ALS awareness, then doused himself with a large bucket of ice water.
Campbell then naturally passed the challenge on to his Bruins' teammate, Brad Marchand, giving him 24 hours to complete the challenge. Marchand then challenged Torey Krug, who kept it going, and it's still making its way through the team and beyond.
The #IceBucketChallenge has been spreading on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and across the Internet to help raise awareness for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Pete Frates, a Beverly, Mass. native and former captain of the Boston College baseball team, was diagnosed with ALS in 2012. There is currently no cure for the disease.
Since then, along with family, friends and supporters, Frates has made it his mission to help raise awareness and fight for a cure.
While it appears that ice bucket challenges have been implemented in a variety of ways for various charities (pro golfers like Rickie Fowler began doing the challenge in late June, daring others to accept the challenge or donate $100 to their charities), the one honoring Frates is to inspire others to learn more about ALS and make donations to aid in the fight to find a cure for ALS.
Here's the gist: when challenged, you accept, dump a freezing cold bucket of ice over your head (because who doesn't want to do that on a hot summer day?) and challenge others to carry on the act within 24 hours, while urging all to donate and learn about ALS.
ALS patients like Frates have trouble sensing hot and cold and regulating their body temperatures, so dousing themselves with a cold bucket of ice isn't at the top of the list. In a sense, the challenge represents something they have lost to the disease. ALS causes the voluntary muscles of the body to rapidly weaken and waste away. Those diagnosed often live three to five years after the onset of symptoms.
Gehrig was diagnosed with ALS in 1939, and the fight still continues to find a cure.
Campbell took on the fairly simple challenge from a close friend of Pete's, and has gotten his Black and Gold teammates on board with the cause as a result.
It's not so much about the ice bucket dumping, though. That's the conversation starter. It's more about the challenge's spread, the knowledge formed about ALS, and donations that hopefully come with it.
"It just seemed like a great thing to bring awareness to ALS, and also to allow Pete — who I'm sure is suffering — and his family to know that there are a lot of people out there who care about him," Campbell told BostonBruins.com. "He obviously has a lot of friends in the community."
"I don't know how far it's going to go, but I know that obviously, the Bruins are a huge part of the community in and around Boston, and hopefully the awareness that this raises — just by getting it out on social media — will help tremendously with the cause."
To learn more about Pete Frates and ALS, and to support the cause, visit his website at PeteFrates.com by clicking here. Stay tuned to this page on BostonBruins.com as the Bruins continue to accept the challenge.

Pepperdine Blanks Gonzaga, 7-0
April 4, 2014
MALIBU, Calif. – After a closely contested doubles point, the #48 Pepperdine men's tennis team dominated singles play versus Gonzaga and won 7-0. With the win, the Waves remain undefeated in West Coast Conference play in 2014 as they enter their home finale tomorrow vs. Portland.
With the victory, Pepperdine improves to 13-11 on the year, and a perfect 5-0 in the WCC. The Zags fall to 9-9 and 0-5 in the league.
Portland is also undefeated in conference action at 3-0.
Today's dual began in doubles, and although all three matches played out close, Pepperdine was able to pocket the point.
David Sofaer (Bellevue Hill, Australia/Sydney Distance Education HS) and Rakshay Thakkar (Pune, India/St. Vincent's HS) were the first off the court, following their 8-4 triumph over Joey Brandt and Vladimir Mijatovic at No. 2.
Seniors Francis Alcantara (Cagayan de Oro, Philippines/Fresno State) and Alex Sarkissian (Glendale, Calif./Glendale CC), ranked #10 in doubles, held off an upset bid by Jack Schoebel and Muzeen Ismath to emerge with the 8-6 victory and secure the doubles point for the Waves.
It was all Pepperdine in singles, as the Waves did not drop a single set.
Thakkar came up just one game shy of posting his first collegiate singles shutout, and settled for a 6-1, 6-0 triumph over Ismath.
Sarkissian, currently at #30 in the singles rankings, made short work of Nick Kamisar, winning 6-2, 6-1 to make it a 3-0 dual.
Playing at No. 4, Pedro Leme (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Mackenzie Tambore) put Pepperdine out of reach, chalking a 6-4, 6-3 decision over Schoebel.
Although the dual was clinched, the Waves and Bulldogs battled on.
Sofaer rebounded from a 2-4 deficit in set two versus Mijatovic to win in straight sets, followed by Alexander Solonin's (Tarzana, Calif./Thousand Oaks HS) second-consecutive win at No. 6.
Alcantara wrapped the day's action for Pepperdine, issuing Hayden Smith a 6-4, 6-2 loss.
Tomorrow, the Waves celebrate Senior Day and the careers of Alcantara, Sarkissian and Sofaer as they play in their final home match. First serve between Pepperdine and Portland is scheduled for 1 p.m. Fans unable to make it can follow live scores here.

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire's House has approved a measure to ban the use of hand-held cell phones while driving.
The House passed the measure by a vote of 192-133 Wednesday. It also bans all cell phone use by minors behind the wheel. The bill doesn't apply in an emergency.
The ban would apply while drivers are stopped temporarily, such as at a red light, but not if they have pulled over and stopped off the road.
The bill allows use of hands-free electronic devices, devices that are integrated into the vehicle, and non-cellular two-way radio devices.
The Senate next takes up the bill.

FAIRHAVEN — Residents itching to watch town board meetings who are unable to leave home can now stream videos of meetings online, thanks to a new initiative by the Government Access Channel.
Town board and committee meetings have always been broadcast on Channel 18, but now residents can also watch them from their computers.
Government Access Director Meaghen Blasingame wrote in an email that the station was already recording the meetings and decided to begin streaming them because "it's been a longtime request from our townspeople."
"Of course, nothing happens overnight," she wrote, adding that the station's budget was the ultimate factor in when the station could start streaming meetings.
Meetings available online include those of the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, School Committee, Board of Public Works, Finance Committee, Conservation Commission, Board of Health, Community Preservation Committee, Board of Appeals and Annual and Special Town Meetings.
Viewers need Windows Media Player to run the video on their computer, which will allow them to pause and rewind the meetings.
Videos can be accessed online at http://188.8.131.52/Cablecast/Public/Main.aspx?ChannelID=1. Once on the site, viewers can click the meeting they wish to watch.

Kidney Infection Symptoms
The formation of stones in the kidney and urinary tract is a fairly common disorder. The chemicals (uric acid, phosphorus, calcium and oxalic acid) that form kidney stones are excreted in the urine. The stones may grow because the concentration of substances in urine higher than the solubility. The kidney infection disease occurs most often in middle age, men, with more often than women. Read more about kidney stones symptoms and signs.
Kidney Infection Symptoms / Signs of Kidney Stones
The kidney stones usually cause pain through the ureter to bladder. The pain is initially felt in the face, and then in the groin and thigh. The other kidney infection symptoms are the desire to urinate frequently, pain when urinating, urinating small, nausea, vomiting, sweating, chills and shock. The patient can also get blood in the urine. Sometimes, large stones may be present in kidney without any problems, and these are known as a silent stones.
Kidney Infection Causes
The formation of stones in the kidney is the result of weaknesses in the overall metabolism. Kidney infection generally occurs, when urine is highly concentrated in relation to heavy sweating or inadequate consumption of fluids. They are a result of sedentary way of life. Another reason is unhealthy diet, excessive consumption of acid forming food, white sugar and products, meat, tea, coffee, spices and seasonings, and foods rich in overcapacity. Some other kidney infection causes are lack of vitamin A and excessive use of vitamin B may also lead to the formation of kidney stones.
Types of Kidney Infection
The kidney stones are basically two types, one primary urinary stones, and the other is secondary kidney stones. Primary stones are formed in acidic urine.
In general, primary stones are as a result of alcoholism, sedentary life, constipation and excessive consumption or nitrogenous urine rich foods. Secondary kidney stones are because of local infection and form in alkaline urine. Most of the kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate or phosphate, with more phosphate in the presence of infection. About 90 percent of all kidney stones contain calcium. More than half of them are mixtures of calcium, ammonia and magnesium, phosphates and carbonates, while the rest contain oxalate. Uric acid and cystine stones are about four per cent and one per cent of the total number of stones.
Kidney Infection Treatment: Most patients with kidney stones can be treated successfully with proper nutrition. The provision rules also prevent a recurrence of symptoms. Only a few cases require operation.
The patient should avoid foods that irritate the kidneys, acidity or alkalinity urine and ensure adequate reception of fluids to prevent urine concentrate.
The foods considered annoying in the kidneys are alcoholic beverages, spices, pickles, certain vegetables such as cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, spinach, water and water with a strong flavour, such as asparagus, onions, beans, cabbage and cauliflower, meat, sauces and soda.
In the stones of calcium phosphate, excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone leads to loss of calcium bone, leading to high blood levels of calcium to the increased excretion of calcium in urine. The unusually high consumption of milk, liqueurs or vitamin D may lead to formation of calcium phosphate stones.
To control the formation of stones from calcium phosphate, calcium and low-moderate dietary phosphorus should receive calcium and phosphate should concentrate on the minimum amount of tax to preserve the adequacy of nutrition. Maintaining the daily usage level of calcium is 680 mg. and 1000 mg of phosphorus is one of the most important things of kidney infection treatment. In this diet, milk should be the main source of calcium and cheese or cottage cheese, lentils and peanuts should be the primary source of phosphorus. Foods to avoid are wheat flour, Bengal gram, peas, soybeans, beets, spinach, cauliflower, beets, carrots, almonds and coconuts.
If the stones are made of calcium and magnesium, phosphates and carbonates, food should be regulated to ensure the acid in urine. In such diet, only half liter of milk, two servings of fruits and vegetables the patient needs to take. Vegetables may consist of asparagus, fresh green peas, pumpkin, squash, beets, cauliflower, cabbage and tomatoes. For fruit, watermelons, grapes, peaches, pears, pineapple, and papaya can be taken. In addition, the urine should be retained if the alkaline oxalate and uric acid stones formed. In this diet, fruits and vegetables should be freely used and acid foods are the minimum necessary for satisfactory nutrition. If the stones contain oxalate, food with a high oxalic acid should be avoided. These products include almonds, sugar beets, brinjal, brown bread, cabbage, cherry, chocolate, green beans, potatoes, radishes, spinach and soybeans.
Urinary/kidney stones occur in patients who have elevated uric acid in the blood and increased uric acid coming in urine. Since uric acid is the end product of urine substances in food high urine, such as sweet bread, liver and kidney should be avoided.
Home Remedies for Kidney Infection
Beans, also known as green beans or beans in general, are considered to be very effective cure for kidney stone problems, including kidney stones. Basil also has an impact on strengthening the kidneys. In the case of kidney stones, basil juice and honey should be taken. It was noted that the stones from the urinary tract can be treated by this treatment. Celery is also a valuable food for people who are prone to kidney stones or gall bladder. Its regular use prevents the formation of the future stones.
The investigation showed that a remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in treatment of kidney stones. This treatment must be followed for several months to get continuous treatment. The patient should be low-protein diet, restricting protein to one gram per kilogram food. A liberal fluid to 3000 ml or more per day is essential to prevent the production of urine at the level of concentration in which precipitation of salts.

Changes at the Top of World's Biggest Law Firm
Another changing of the guard is in store at DLA Piper, the world's biggest law firm.
Over the past 15 years the firm has charted an aggressive course for growth that catapulted it to the top of the heap both in terms of revenue and lawyer headcount, according to 2012 figures compiled by the American Lawyer magazine.
On Tuesday, DLA Piper announced a new global leadership team. The move elevates some partners who held management roles in the firm's U.S. and international wings, and ushers into advisory positions two of the firm's current senior leaders—including Chicago lawyer Lee Miller, a co-architect of DLA Piper's rise.
The changes are set to take effect Jan. 1, 2015.
The new global co-chairs of the firm will be U.S. corporate partner Roger Meltzer, who joined DLA Piper from Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP in 2007, and U.K. partner Nigel Knowles, who helped cement the British portion of the tie-up that created DLA Piper in 2005. Mr. Meltzer is currently a co-chair of the Americas for DLA Piper, while Mr. Knowles is managing partner of the firm's international business.
"It's the institutional evolution of the firm," Mr. Meltzer said on Tuesday, "as we continue to strive toward greater integration."
DLA Piper is the product of a series of mergers in the late 1990s and 2000s that knitted together regional firms in Baltimore, Chicago and San Diego, and also expanded the firm's reach across the Atlantic through a tie-up with British firm DLA. The firm now has more than 4,200 lawyers worldwide and had $2.4 billion in revenue in 2012, according to the American Lawyer.
Messrs. Meltzer and Knowles will succeed the current co-chairs, Mr. Miller and Tony Angel, a prominent British lawyer who joined DLA Piper in 2011 after nine years as global managing partner of U.K. firm Linklaters.
Mr. Angel came onboard at DLA Piper to "drive some management and institutional change," Mr. Meltzer said, and help recruit new talent, something he said helped the firm "move the brand upstream in a very difficult market."
Mr. Miller helped hatch the 1999 merger between his firm, Chicago-based Rudnick & Wolfe, and Baltimore's Piper & Marbury (then led by DLA's chairman emeritus, Frank Burch) that set DLA Piper on its current path.
Both outgoing co-chairs will transition to what the firm termed "important advisory roles," though it is not clear whether they will be partners.
DLA also announced two new global CEOs, who have a more operational role than the global co-chairs and are responsible for executing the strategy laid out by the firm's global board. They are Cameron "Jay" Rains, who comes from the San Diego part of the DLA merger and, like Mr. Meltzer, is also a co-chair for the Americas, and Simon Levine, co-managing director of groups and services for the firm's international business.
The appointments of Mr. Knowles and Mr. Levine are subject to approval by DLA Piper's non-U.S. partners. The firm is structured as a so-called Swiss verein, or an association of member firms—in this case, DLA Piper LLP (U.S.) and DLA Piper International LLP, which includes lawyers across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Media's reporting fuels killings
Do I fear an attack on my home? No. The odds are infinitesimal. Now, suppose that in every newspaper and on TV it was reported that somebody local (say it was me) said I'm here, waiting for an attack. Maybe even better, I'm here with guards, waiting for an attack, and it was reported repeatedly. How do you think the odds would change?
I cringe every time I hear about residents of some relatively rural area talking about needing guards in schools. The odds of another Adam Lanza were really remote but are getting better all the time, although still maybe that of lightning strikes, and it is not because of guns.

By Staff Sgt. Christina J. Turnipseed, 1st HBCT, 1st Armored Division Public AffairsApril 8, 2010
FORWARD OPERATING BASE WARRIOR, Iraq - A bright sunny day with clear blue skies was the background for an energy-charged crowd of Airmen and Soldiers chit-chatting, stretching, talking and laughing as they prepared for the Air Force-sponsored 4.1-mile Fun Run on Forward Operating Base Warrior, April 1.
Close to 90 servicemembers gathered on FOB Warrior to have fun, maybe place and receive a "Krab" April Fools' Day t-shirt.
First place was taken by Milwaukee, Wis., native Staff Sgt. Lawrence Smith of 1-1 Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, out of Fort Bliss, Texas (Ready First).
Staff Sergeant Smith, who is a member of the Fort Bliss Army 10-Miler team, was described by one of the race facilitators as "that guy who always comes in first."
"This is my fifth one," Staff Sgt. Smith said. "I won three and placed in the top three or better in each race I entered."
Second place went to 1st Lt. Richard Morrow of 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, Ready First, and a Benton, Ark., native.
Third place was secured by Pfc. Gregory Templeton of 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, a Danville, Calif, native.
"This is my first time placing," said Pfc. Templeton, who has entered six races in six months.
Sergeant First Class Lance Clark, Ready First, came in fourth. "I haven't run in (a race) in six years," Sgt. 1st Class Clark said.
Jerry Manning, a 56-year-old contractor with West Star, came in fifth.
The race went well as the participants were given water, Gatorade, T-shirts and the opportunity to relax, stay fit and have fun.

Apple new iPad review
After months of speculation about its specification, the new iPad launched in mid-March with an ultra-high resolution Retina display and blisteringly fast 4G LTE. Julian Prokaza puts it through its paces and is seriously impressed.
On sale since 16th March, the new iPad looks practically identical to the iPad 2, though it's actually 0.6mm thicker and 51g heavier.
In a surprise move, Apple dropped the numerical classification with this model, but it is the big changes on the inside that everyone cares about.
Retina display ups the ante
The headline feature becomes apparent the moment the power button is pressed. As with the iPhone 4 from two years ago (and the subsequent 4S), Apple has equipped the new iPad with a 'Retina display' — the term used to describe a resolution so high that the individual pixels become indistinguishable when seen from a typical viewing distance.
With the 3.5" screen on the iPhone 4 and 4S, this means a resolution of 960 x 640 to give 326ppi (pixels per inch) when viewed from 12" away.
To achieve something similar on the 9.7" iPad screen, Apple has had to pack in an incredible 2048 x 1536 pixels (264ppi). That's twice the resolution and four times the pixel count of the iPad 2, and a million more than on a 1080p HDTV.
The result is a screen with astonishing clarity and it really needs to be seen to be appreciated. The improvement over the iPad 2 display is not unlike the difference between watching a DVD film on a standard definition TV and something on Blu-ray on an HDTV. High-resolution photos look more like glossy prints than images displayed on a computer screen, for example.
Text is visibly sharper on the new iPad, when compared to the iPad 2 as can be seen above

Customer wants to be able to bow out of contract
BERTRAND -- When a Bertrand woman signed up for clean, safe water she didn't realize she was also agreeing to pay a monthly bill from then on -- whether they used the water or not.
Bob Taylor, 73, said he and his wife, Barbara, 66, are being sued by the Scott County Public Water Supply District No. 4 for unpaid water bills.
"We're going to have to go to court Monday on it in small claims court," Taylor said.

A boatbuilder's shop
Posted 13 February 2009 - 06:30 PM
All right, here's the promised update to Brickington Island. If you just want to see the pics, you can skip the story below.
Bjorn Johansen Comes Home
Having recently added an airport and ferry service, and having begun to develop the higher elevations of the Island, the Brickington Island Town Board finds it'self with new residents who would like to set up businesses on the Island. One such Resident is Bjorn Johansnen.
Bjorn Johansen grew up on Brickington Island, and his family has long maintained the Historic Coast Guard Boathouse in downtown Brickington as a family vacation spot. A boatbuilder by trade, Bjorn has had built boats on the mainland for the past 20 years. Now that he has built a solid reputation, and Brickington has become a more accesible locale, he has applied for a permit to relocate his business to Brickington Island and expand the size of the Historic Coast Guard Boathouse.
After a series of negotiations, Bjorn agrees to use to modernize and double the size of the boathouse while maintaining the same traditional style of the building's exterior. Johansen Watercraft has now officially relocated to Brickington. Bjorn and his apprentice/daughter Esther build top quality wooden boats in a variety of styles for the discerning boat owner. The Johansen family lives in the newly renovated/expanded loft above the workshop.
Special thanks to Erasuremode who took these pics for me when my camera ran out of batteries.
Here's the view from the street. No sign yet, as adding anything to an historic facade requires a whole separate set of permits that are still in progress.
The view from the north east side of the building. The walkway allong the side was added as a way to move materials into the building without using the front door. Mrs. Alina Johansen is on the balcony watering her flowers, and in the shadows, you can just see Esther working on the hull of the first ship constructed by Johansen Watercraft on Brickington Island. Note the weather vane atop the "widows perch".
An upper view from roughly the same side.
Here's the view from the south side. Addition of the external stairway was at the insistence of Alina who wanted to separate the living quarters completely from the workshop.
Internal view of the workshop from the west end. You can see Bjorn working from inside the hull. Esther is again visible between the tool chest and the hull.
Internal view of the southwest corner of the workshop. A small wash station and set of cabinets holding all manner of varnishes and stains.
Internal view of the northwest corner of the workshop. Workbench, tool rack, saw, and lumber stacked on shelves.
Thanks for stopping by.
A few comments about it's construction. Like nearly all the buildings in "Brickington" this one is built of modular 16x16 stud sections. I mixed new and old brown in an attempt to make the building look old, and because there are certain parts that I only have in one color or the other. I'm considering replacing all the white with faded yellowed white pieces to make it look even older. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the high praise. You make a good point about removing the boats. I just figured they'd slide it out on lumber. Unlike the lifesave boathouse that this building is loosely based on, there would be no need to have a permenant ramp, and the lumber/ramp would probably be stored away when not in use.
Originally, I was considering building a sliding ceiling hoist that would run the lenght of the boathouse. It was the kind of thing that would be used in construction, and also in lifting the bow so the stern could be slid into the water. However, in the interest of keeping it all modular, and not interfering with the roof sections, I decided to leave it off.

I too was wondering how the boats would get out, but I think if you just were to put 2 1x8 tile at the end, it would do fine.

As for the windows, the reason there is no frame is that I imagined them as being block glass, as is found on alot of industrial buildings. I probably could have made it better with 1x1 trans clear, but I only own 3 of those. I considered also turning the 1x2 sideways, but then it would have not have looked as good from the inside. It probably didn't help that my storyline refers to it as a historic boathouse, which would have definately had real windows instead of block glass.

To be carried back in time, read SAINT-EXUPERY
and relive the beginnings of "Areopostale" air-mail. Alternatively, rediscover Henri DECOIN's film whose original screenplay by Joseph Kessel gave the hotel LE GRAND BALCON its name.
In the film and writings, you will encounter the romantic lives of the young pioneer aviators who lived the human adventure during one of the most enthralling time periods of the 20th Century. Underlying the hotel's modern design is the desire to express these pioneers' spirit of adventure and passion for new ventures.
As well, the stylized ambiance evokes the dreams, recklessness and poetry which motivated these young men. Flight, travel and open spaces are all reminiscent of the new world of early air travel. Designated a classified section of the building by the French government, Chambre 32 has been reconstructed as SAINT-EXUPERY's original hotel accommodation. Unfortunately, very little of the room decoration from the 30's remained except the discreet placement of the toilet and sink behind a folding screen.
Using the film as a guide, we have been able to recreate the room as it was a half century ago. With the assistance of antique dealer, Toulousaine Isabelle KLEIN, furnishings from that era were located.
Within the hotel, one can experience time travel passing from contemporary to exciting past, simply by opening a door.
Booking on request.

Planar Ranger
Mysterious, all-knowing, deadly. The planar ranger chooses to explore not the mundane wilderness or even civilization but rather the various planes of existence available to him; daedric, aedric or otherwise. With this, the Planar Ranger gains immense knowledge, not of the world surrounding him but of the very multiverse itself, powerful knowledge indeed.
The planar ranger is a ranger through and through, using one handed and archery in combat. However, also used is the power of conjuration and alteration instead of the worldly armor skills and smithing, allowing the ranger to summon otherworldly beings, powerful weapons and magical armor from the very realms of Oblivion itself.
The planar ranger plays many roles, as is the norm for rangers overall. However, the planar ranger also uses the planes to his or her advantage, summoning atronarchs and daedra, along with powerful magical weapons or armor. Along with this, the ranger posesses a variety of abilities to shift out of or otherwise manipulate the realm in which he exists, turning the tide of battle in his favor.
The race I have chosen for the Planar Ranger is Breton, due to the given bonuses and starting spells.
However, other races considered include:
Altmer - High mana stats
Bosmer - The quintessential "ranger" race
Major Skills
Conjuration: The lynchpin of this build, turning a regular ranger into a mysterious being of the numerous planes
One-handed: Mystical bound swords for close range fighting
Archery: Powerful bound bows for battling at range
Alteration: Eschewing traditional "Physical" armor, the Planar Ranger prefers to summon his own set of powerful magical armor
Minor Skills
Sneak: The Planar ranger doesn't simply hides in the shadows, he warps out of the very plane itself to reappear where he wishes
Enchanting: Using the souls banished to the soul cairn, the planar ranger weaves powerful enchantments over his garments.
Considerations for stones include:
The Lady stone: Offsetting to a degree the lack of restoration/alchemy, along with increasing your overall stamina useability
The Lord stone: Gives a form of backup armor in case protection is needed without magical armor up (Personal Favorite)
The Lover Stone: With so many abilities with such a high skill ceiling, this is a good way of boosting experience gained in them
The Shadow Stone: Gives a free long phase shift without using a shout or large amount of mana

At Level 40, the Planar Ranger is more or less at full capacity, with very few additional perks issues to iron out, such as additional points in archery, one handed and potentially sneak. Although there are a number of skills that will require grinding to achieve the levels for, the requirements are by no means impossible.
Past Level 40, the main goal is to flesh out the combat skill trees further, granting more damage or utility. Along with this, the stealth and enchanting trees may also be further used, depending on your favored play-style. A recommended perk to get is "Twin Souls" however, simply due to the force multiplication it provides
Plane Shift
Phase in and out of existence at will, controlling the fight. Using any combination of Become Ethereal, Invisibility, Shadow stone and crouching (With Shadow Warrior) to disappear, reappearing moments later where you wish. The more abilities that are used in each respective shift, the longer it becomes.
*Although there is only one skill listed, there are many more combinations of abilities, spells and shouts that can be used to gain the situational upper hand. The main reason I haven't listed these is because the combat style of a ranger is based in responding to changes in combat dynamic along with personal weapon preferences. As a general rule, it is beneficial to summon any familiars/thralls, followed by archery and then close combat, however, fight responsively and use whatever you need to to gain the advantage. By adding further skills, I find that the flowing, responsive combat style of a ranger would be hindered by preset combos, instead of abilities being used where appropriate. However, feel free to use familiar tried-and-tested combinations in combat.
Now, go out and find your place in the planes!
If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to post below!
While you're at it, why not take a look at my other quality builds?
Blackguard Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Views: 14617
First off, thank you for the feedback!
Now ordinarily I would, as I have done similar with my Blackguard and Horsemen builds. However, I was foolishly working on a very old machine on which I did not install word, so if I had have copy-pasted I would have lost all formatting, especially the finicky tables. Due to this, I was forced (begrudgingly) to post an unfinished build as a way of saving it so that I may work on it later.
Rest assured, the build IS done, at least to a basic playable level. I mainly put the disclaimer at the bottom to show that i still had some minor playtesting and community consideration to do before declaring it finished. It isn't easy to pump out a top-quality build with one try! It just needs a little spit and polish to make it more complete.
I need to wait until next week to post screenshots anyway, as my machines locally don't have skyrim installed on them.
I like the role-play elements, plus I love conjured weapons (+1). You may want to remove the comments about the build not being finished. If you add major things later, you can always mention your improvements then.
There is a way to get the conjure bow spell very early in the game (as soon as you want, after Riften). I thought people interested in this build may want it.
Right now it's just screenshots, cleaning of the templates and a little fluff that I plan to add but I want people to know that I usually try to hold myself to a higher standard for final builds, that's all.
That is a very useful tutorial, thank you. this should let players get started as early as possible!
Cool idea, reminds me of the Horizon Walker prestige class from D&D.
I also really like very focused builds like this, with only 4 or so skills. Plus the first 20 levels or so are my favorite, so low-level builds are always appreciated. +1 for all of that!
Oh, and no crafting - nice!
I guess Soul Stealer is required to get Oblivion Binding, but it seems like there's some wasted potential there. I guess taking up Enchanting would damage some of the 'purity' of the build that I really like (and of course it's a crafting skill), but what do you do with all those souls? You don't want to use them to enchant physical bows (or swords), since that's against the spirit of the build. I guess you could use them to enchant clothes for an even stronger defense, but that doesn't feel right to me either. Just ignore the souls you're collecting? I'm honestly trying to figure out how to best approach that part of the playstyle.
My one caution is that Sneak could become OP. I *do* like that you're only going up the left side of the tree, to avoid the inevitable 'sniper boredom' that sets in. Well, not boredom, but just the problem that every battle utilizes only 2 of your skills, leaving you wondering why you took one-handed and alteration in the first place. Do you find yourself sneak-shooting a lot, or can you discipline yourself to *only* do it to open fights? (Cuz I am *not* that disciplined... constantly fishing for sneak-shots, I am, which is why I so rarely use it these days!)
Other skills... well, Destruction for runes is always fun, but maybe not the concept you want. I'd say this is a really good setup as is.
What about questlines? A true planeswalker would want to get out of Mundus every now and then... a trip to the Soul Cairn would be a fun exploration for this character. Some Daedric quests would also get you visiting other... places. The problem is, though, that many of the rewards would be useless for this character, since he only uses conjured stuff! Do you let that bother you, or just do it for the sense of exploration rather than the rewards?
Well, let's address this comment!
Yeah, I would say it may resemble the Horizon walker prestige class as the original Planar ranger was taken from the Unearthed Arcana sourcebook! Mind you, in Skyrim I find that I am allowed more roleplay than even the D&D's class of "Ranger but of celestial/abyssal/more things"
Along with that, if you like low level stuff along with D&D, you'll love what I have up my sleeve for my next set after I'm done fixing this build up, I think it's pretty interesting if I may say so myself.
Yep! No crafting! I wanted this build to feel like he places no real value in the physical because living between planes, there is little use for them.
In regards to soul stealer, you could definitely take up enchanting, being a low-ish build cap there is room for movement. You could also treat the soul gems as a form of "bounty" if you like, fill the soul gem with evil souls (Imprisoning them to the plane of the soul cairn, hint hint), resell for higher value. You could collect souls using this too for maximum roleplaying. I could agree with clothing enchantments, seems fitting for him to have mystical clothing that makes him better at what he does, especially if you're getting souls freely. Each to their own I suppose.
Now sneak. I primarily chose this tree because of the shadow warrior perk, allowing you to stop combat temporarily, which sounded very fitting as a form of plane shift. However, with that considered, this is not intended to be a full stealth build, combat is dictated by what you fight and how you feel like fighting, very fluid, very versatile. If sneak shotting and using detect life with alteration for tactical advantage is your battle plan, go for it! if charging in with dual swords swinging is how you fight, go right ahead! Hang back and let elemental thralls fight the battles? sure thing! I see rangers as being masters of doing whatever they need to in fights and this build is no exception.
Other skill considerations... Well, I could recommend using alchemy potentially, even though a planar variety, he IS still a ranger at heart, especially as there is little ability to restore health in this build. Otherwise, speech is an alright dump skill, block will help you in one sword combat but otherwise, just spending points in the four main skills will take you to a reasonable level as-is.
questlines are definently a consideration, as part of my inspiration for this build was reading through about the planes. This build is surprisingly friendly to the lore, as there are many planes to explore, with weird and wonderful properties. In relation to the rewards, they may be useless in theory but remember that you don't just have to use bound weapons, the skills are set up to use regular weaponry with decent efficiency. Otherwise, someone needs to guard these inter-planar artifacts no? I'm primarily in it for the roleplay myself and the frugal living that is done in this build is a refreshing change from heavy armored warlords weighed down to the teeth with weapons and armor.
Thanks for reading!
Not particularly, it's just the only one I've put in a combo so far, I need to do more play-testing to figure out other combinations. Most shouts should be fine, so long as they don't really branch off the other schools of magic too much. Some of the cooler ones to use are slow time, disarm, aura whisper and elemental fury, representing the ranger bending the rules of the current plane's space and time.
Edit: Screenshots added, build looked at further, no adjustment necessary until further playtesting potentially. For now, it's done!
Man I thought of this idea and thought it was original boo you beat me

Immediately after submitting my feed to the iTunes store, I realized that I failed to create an image for it. I promptly changed it in podPress, but when the podcast appeared on the store it still had the old image. I assumed it just took some time, so I waited. When nothing changed, I checked the rss feed itself and noticed that it was still linking to the Mighty Mouse picture. I am unsure how to proceed.
Here are screenshots of the podPress plugin, showing that I changed the images:

Marshall Chess on 'Who Do You Love,' the Latest Movie About His Family's Blues Label
Call it the "Capote" syndrome. Just as two Truman Capote biopics were released a year apart, the story of Chess Records has now been told in two feature films. First came the star-driven "Cadillac Records" in 2008, featuring Beyonce Knowles as Etta James and Jeffrey Wright as Muddy Waters. "Who Do You Love," an indie starring musicians Keb' Mo' and Robert Randolph as Jimmy Rogers and Bo Diddley, respectively, was released in New York on Friday, and will open in Los Angeles and Chicago in the coming weeks.
Marshall Chess, son of Leonard Chess, who founded the legendary Chicago blues label with his brother Phil, cooperated with both films in granting music rights. But he had no input on the scripts and felt chagrined by both projects' handling of the facts. ("Cadillac Records" omitted his uncle and depicted his dad, played by Adrien Brody, in an affair with Etta James; "Who Do You Love" also depicted an adulterous Leonard Chess and portrayed a young Marshall as somewhat of a square.)
Though Chess has thrown his support behind "Who Do You Love," which he sees as the more accurate portrayal, he says both films have done their job in passing the Chess catalog along to potential new fans. Marshall, who began working in the family business when he was a boy, went on to work the artistic heirs of Chess artists like Chuck Berry. In the '70s he oversaw the Rolling Stones' label and he later worked at Sugar Hill Records when seminal rap songs such as Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" were being cut. In excerpts from an interview, Chess talks about the Chess movies.
The whole thing started about two years ago. I had just completed a deal with Sony for "Cadillac Records." I was in California, and I met with ["Who Do You Love" producers] Jonathan Mitchell and Les Alexander. I told them about the Sony deal, but they didn't care. They were making an independent film.
You have to understand where I'm coming from. Anyone can make a film about my dad because he's dead. You have no control. Up until last October [when Marshall sold the publishing rights to the label's catalog], I was in business to make money as a publisher. So I worked with both films, but not in any deep way. What you find out is when they do films about someone's family, they don't want you around.
With the Sony film, "Cadillac Records," I got really Hollywooded by them not including my uncle. It's such a disgrace. My father was an A character, but my uncle was an equal partner. Sony even hired an actor and wrote lines in the script. But they told me it didn't work.
On this film, "Who Do You Love," when I first saw it, I couldn't love it because I'm constantly subconsciously comparing the characters to the real people I know. That already blows it for you. They bought my life rights up to 10 years old. [Chess is portrayed in the movie as a moony boy.] I was cooler than that! I had custom made suits at 13! I was a little hipster!
The club scenes were great. It was true to the real place, the [Chess brothers'] Macomba. There were gunshots the only time I was there. I was thrown over the bar and my uncle laid on me. I can remember the stale smell of the floor to this day.
With both these movies, time goes on and you face reality. What is the legacy? It's the music. All the politics, the business, doesn't mean s—. The music lasts.
Today, no part of the family legacy is in my control. As of last October, the publishing is owned by a Japanese company called Fuji Entertainment. There were other partners, Benny Goodman's brothers, Gene and Harry. I'm 68. I didn't want to deal with all their wives and kids. If there had been no partners, the publishing would not have been sold. It was a business decision, just like they say in the movie.
The blues still get passed down to young people, but it's a slow process. Like with painting, people find out about the old masters. They go step by step. They might start with the White Stripes, then they go to the Rolling Stones. Then they get to Muddy Waters and their minds get blown.
The other night at a premiere this lady asked a question about my father and uncle cheating artists out of royalties. She made the ugliest faces. I lost my cool. First of all, I worked at Chess for eight years of my life in the '60s. Not once did I hear the word "cheating." No one has any evidence of this. There wasn't one lawsuit about royalties. Not one.
[Chess makes a distinction between royalties and "messed up" publishing deals, which he attributes to others and that didn't compensate artists such as Willie Dixon when acts like the Rolling Stones covered their songs.]
After I walked out of the Q&A, Steven Van Zandt got up and defended my family. He said, what those early records did was give those artists 50-year careers. My uncle and father were not thieves. For instance, there was payola. Maybe they took those costs out as promotional expenses, just like they do with modern recording contracts. I feel like they get a raw deal. It's such a stereotype, and there's a lot of anti-Semitism. I'm very sensitive to it.

When I saw 'Titanic' there was actually some teenage girls behind me, like, bitching that it had a sad ending. When you're going to see a movie called 'Titanic,' you could pretty much factor that in. 'Oh my God, the ship is going to sink, that is so sad! I liked the movie, but why did it have to be so sad? Why did it have to have such a sad ending?' Aren't you glad those girls weren't in the focus group? They change the whole ending; James Cameron has to write a whole alternate ending: 'We've hit an iceberg, captain! We're going down with all hands aboard! Wait -- she's joining herself back together! Hooray! Alright, boys, let's sail to the wedding of these two fine young people.'

Hello and welcome to a weekly feature on CarolinaHurricanes.com in which I take your Twitter questions about the Carolina Hurricanes or whatever else and answer them in mailbag form. Hopefully, the final product is insightful to some degree, and maybe we have some fun along the way.
Let's get to it.
How does the coach get the Canes back on track? What does he need to say or do? – Bill G. (@billgeurin)
This question was asked prior to the Canes' 3-2 overtime win last night in San Jose, but I think that win typified what the team needs to do on a game-by-game basis to be successful; it's not something the coach or the coaching staff can say or do, but rather it's about competing and executing.
Last night's game was, for sure, the Canes' best effort on the road trip, and they were properly rewarded with two points. As assistant coach Rod Brind'Amour said in his second intermission interview on FOX Sports Carolinas, the team's compete level was "off the charts," even despite a tough end to the first period in which the Sharks – after capitalizing on a couple of defensive-zone mishaps from Carolina – led 2-1.
When the ice tilted in San Jose's favor, the Canes found a way to counter it. Overtime was a prime example of this, as the Sharks hemmed the Canes in their own zone early, and the visiting team, wrapping up a season-long, five-game road trip, looked a bit gassed. But a few grinding shifts later, including another terrific individual effort from Andrej Sekera, led to Elias Lindholm finding Jay Harrison for a beautiful overtime winner.
Regardless of the situation, the Canes' compete level didn't dip, even against a team that had lost just seven games at home coming into last night. That's the focused effort Carolina will need to put forth on a consistent basis to be successful as we head down the stretch of the season.
Who are the Canes interested in trading? – JD Mayo (@JDMayo83)
(I got quite a few questions about trades and the trade deadline and just simply had to pick one. Apologies if yours was not chosen – try again next year.)
Ah, trade deadline day. Where Twitter treats rumors as currency and imposter accounts seek attention and peddle pipe dreams or, best-case, educated guesses as full-on fact. It's a lovely day, really.
Anywho! We won't deal with rumors here, nor do I have a short (or long) list of who the Canes are interested in trading.
But for a moment, I'll play GM. (Scary thought, right?) Would it not be wise to at least listen to offers for most of your roster? It doesn't mean the trade will be made, and hearing out an offer, laughable or not, is free. OK, I'm done playing GM.
Let's consider who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer: forwards Radek Dvorak and Manny Malhotra, defensemen Ron Hainsey and Mike Komisarek (and Joni Pitkanen) and goaltender Justin Peters.
Of this list, Hainsey would likely command the most value. He's being paid very reasonably and has proven himself a more than capable top-four defenseman. From a Canes perspective, though, he has shored up the team defense, which was certainly a question mark coming into the season with the news of Pitkanen's still-injured heel; a player of Hainsey's caliber might be worth hanging onto for the future.
Then there is the goaltending question. Anton Khudobin was re-signed on Tuesday to a two-year, $4.5 million deal. Peters is a pending unrestricted free agent, and Cam Ward is on the hook through the 2015-16 season. The Canes could very well have three goaltenders on the roster come Thursday, but this is a situation worth keeping an eye on today.
If you're interested in following along with the trade deadline hoopla, we have you covered. We have a running, regularly updated blog (http://hurricanes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=707475), and at 2:45 p.m., we will be live streaming a special trade deadline edition of Storm Surge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiH7AsECeqc). Mike Maniscalco and I will be on hand with host Amber Jaye as we take you through anything and everything that has happened or is happening live through the 3 p.m. deadline. It should be fun and maybe even a smidge unpredictable.
Making a purchase. Which do you like more: the black Canada jersey or the classic red? – Elliot F. (@TherealEFarrell)
I'm a fan of this one (http://shop.nhl.com/Jerseys_Olympic_Hockey/Nike_USA_Hockey_Winter_Olympic_Replica_Hockey_Jersey_-_Navy_Blue). Or this one (http://shop.nhl.com/Jerseys_Olympic_Hockey/Nike_USA_Hockey_Winter_Olympic_Replica_Hockey_Jersey_-_White_Navy_Blue).
Strictly speaking red or black, I'd go red (http://shop.nhl.com/Carolina_Hurricanes_Jerseys/Reebok_Carolina_Hurricanes_Mens_2013_Premier_Home_Custom_Jersey_-_Red).
But if you had to get a Canadian sweater, I'd still go red.
All-time favorite press meal: two main courses ('cause that's how we roll), two sides and a dessert. Go. – Lee T. (@lee_taft)
This is easy and tough at the same time.
Main courses: Sesame-ginger chicken (no bone) and pot stickers. Sides: Beer cheese soup (this counts as a side) and mixed vegetables. Dessert: Soft serve with Reese's Pieces.
Nailed it.
Join me next week for trade-free questions and answers!
If you have a question you'd like answered, you can reach out to me on Twitter at @MSmithCanes.

OGUNQUIT — The name Ogunquit has special meaning to many of us. The word itself is roughly translated to "beautiful place by the sea," from the Abenaki Indian language. For hundreds of years, visitors have flocked to enjoy its pristine beaches and majestic ocean views. More recently, the town has become a tourist destination with thousands of people coming every year to enjoy the natural beauty of Ogunquit as well as the thriving downtown that makes this town so unique.
A large part of what makes the town special are the things that often go unnoticed. The twinkling branches during the holiday season and the decorations that change throughout the seasons. The Ogunquit Public Works Department employees are the stage crew behind the scenes that give Ogunquit the unique charm enjoyed throughout the year by so many.
A visitor who comes to Ogunquit may not be able to articulate what makes the downtown so special. Year 'round residents and tourists enjoy the holiday trimmings that put a smile on their face and a spring in their step as they walk past all the shops. All of the extra touches that make Ogunquit unique are hung before the holiday season and quietly put away after the tourists leave and are stored for the next year.
It's not only the sparkle they put in the trees that make the Ogunquit PWD employees special, but also the maintaining of roads, parks, and the 3.5 miles of beaches. They are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their mission statement states, "the Public Works Department is committed to promoting Ogunquit's quaint, small town appeal and in cultivating and maintaining a community oriented relationship of trust between Public Works and the public at large."
Their responsibilities are broad and include plowing, sanding, trash removal, accident and fire cleanup, maintaining the town's fleet of vehicles including the municipal ice breaker, and working on the front lines with the Fire and Police Departments in case of natural disasters.
"More often than not we are home snuggled in the comforts of our home while the Public Works employees are out all night long in below freezing temperatures," said Town Manager Tom Fortier. "Just the fact that Public Works employees brave the winter elements day in and day out, Snow Angels indeed! I recall a Public Works employee plowing the way during a near zero visibility evening so that an ambulance could respond to a resident having a heart attack. The employee(s) shoveled the driveway so that the medical personnel could transport the patient from the home to the ambulance."
Downeast Magazine in 2012 named Ogunquit as the best beach town in New England. Much of what makes Ogunquit that quintessential vacation destination is the work that goes in to making each town celebration as magical as the one before. The Ogunquit PWD employees are the crew that makes that happen.
Karen Arel, president of the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce, said the PWD employees "always seem to be working on the coldest days of the year and all of them are happy working together to make our town beautiful."
So the next time you and your family visit Ogunquit's beach or stroll through Perkins Cove, silently thank the DPW employee that put the smile on your face and gave you the memory you will always cherish.

Inoculating Against Climate Science Denial
Guest | April 28, 2015
By Guest • Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 19:34
This is a guest post by John Cook, The University of Queensland.
Science denial has real, societal consequences. Denial of the link between HIV and AIDS led to more than 330,000 premature deaths in South Africa. Denial of the link between smoking and cancer has caused millions of premature deaths. Thanks to vaccination denial, preventable diseases are making a comeback.
Denial is not something we can ignore or, well, deny. So what does scientific research say is the most effective response? Common wisdom says that communicating more science should be the solution. But a growing body of evidence indicates that this approach can actually backfire, reinforcing people's prior beliefs.

The Czech Republic squeaked out a 5-3 victory over Slovakia in the final game of the qualification round. The Czechs jumped out to a 4-1 lead through two periods, thanks in part to two power play goals, one from David Krejci and one from Ales Hemsky. Roman Cervenka added two goals of his own, as it looked like the Czechs were going to roll through the final period.
However, Slovakia began to mount a comeback in the third, outshooting the Czech Republic 15-8. Marian Hossa scored his second of the game, coupled with Tomas Surovy's goal a minute-and-a-half later, to cut the lead to one with 10 minutes to go.
Tomas Plekanec potted an empty-netter with 39 seconds to halt the comeback.
The Czech Republic will now face the United States Wednesday in the quarterfinal. The Slovakians ended their disappointing tournament without a win.

The Guardian08/09/2012By Emma Graham-Harrison in Kabul [Printer Friendly Version]
DIPLOMATS FILING into the conference room at Afghanistans finance ministry had expected a bland update on accountability targets from the finance minister.
Instead, he brought out personal financial papers and begged for support in the face of what he described as politically motivated corruption allegations, eventually breaking down in tears.
Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal, a young technocrat who has been lionised as a dynamic reformer by many western diplomats, said he had acted naively in his handling of $2 million of campaign funds for President Hamid Karzais re-election campaign in 2009, but denied any wrongdoing.
He launched an impassioned 45-minute defence of his behaviour, waving bank statements and tax receipts, and said he feared for his life and his familys safety because of his role in trying to clear up a $900 million banking scandal, according to sources who attended the meeting, or heard first-hand accounts.
One diplomat described the meeting as more emotional than factual. Mr Zakhilwal began weeping toward the end of the meeting and had to leave the room briefly, sources said, but he returned to finish his talk.
However, Mr Zakhilwal denied he had asked for support, or that he had admitted any mistakes in handling election funds.
I have not asked donors for help, in fact dont need their help. I had invited them to brief them on what was going on and about my decision to ask the attorney general to investigate both the accusation against me as well as violations of my rights, he said in an emailed message.


text: Last Sunday a gentleman wrote that the ACA doesn't work and never will. I was struck by his insight into the future, especially for a plan that had not been fully implemented a full two months when he penned his letter. Surely he should be winning Powerball every drawing. However, his name does not regularly (ever?) show up as a winner. Puzzling.

Simple Gifts for a Nurtured Entrepreneur
Dear Nurtured Entrepreneur,
To work with passion can mean, among other things, (a) to work with devotion, (b) to sustain a deep interest in our work, and sometimes (c) to experience overpowering feelings in our work, for good or ill. If you are pursuing your work with passion AND wanting to stay mindful of your body and being in the process, I have some simple gifts you can give yourself that may help.
The key to self-nurture is self-awareness and that can be a tall order for any entrepreneur in the thick of all that's required to get your business into the river, moving downstream, and holding steady as you navigate.
- A simple tool I use to check in with myself during the day is called a Mindfulness Clock. This free software places an icon in your task bar. Mine's set to chime once at the top of each hour. When I hear the gong beginning its call, I pause and take a deep inhale, a slow exhale. I relax my shoulders and stomach. I say "hello" to myself and add a "how-are-you-do-you-need anything" if I want to take the time. Try this even once and see if your body responds with gratitude (not your mind, mind you, but your body). You inner nurtured entrepreneur will thank you, too. The bell of the Mindfulness Clock is lovely.
- A simple body movement I use to release unwanted energy is to shake. Yep. Think: tremor, shudder, quake. It's best if it's a whole body shake. Hide in the bathroom if you require privacy! We take in thousands of emotions a day from thousands of experiences that create tension in the body. Unlike most animals, who do shake off this tension after a fright or trauma or an anticipated attack that never comes, we don't shake these off. Does that mean the tension goes away on its own? No. It settles in and takes up residence and does not add to our well-being. So get shaking! I invite you to read this insightful article, 'Shake Away Your Stress and Tension' by creative entrepreneur, coach, speaker and healer, Lea Houston.
- Nurtured entrepreneurs are very sensitive to music. One nurtured entrepreneur I know loves to listen to Mozart when he works. He says it soothes and stimulates at the same time. Have you tried setting up a nurturing music station for yourself on online Pandora Radio? If you can't listen to music while you work, consider taking a music break to listen to just one favorite, uplifting song. This is one of my favorite nurturing songs, performed by Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss. Listen to Simple Gifts (close your eyes).
Until next time …

Each a gem… a wonderful reminder to take care.
I can't wait to shake off. I might do it the tune of Mozart! Happy days to you!
