Perfectly suited to a distillery operation, this multiple use commercial property is steeped in history. It has a High Street location in the Georgian heritage town of Oatlands in the midlands of Tasmania. This property has been beautifully modified and used as the manufacturing and retail location for the iconic Casaveen Knitwear Company. It is now offered with vacant possession.
Improvements on the property consist of three substantial buildings including a Georgian sandstone hall, a more recently constructed high quality cafe/ retail building at the entrance to the property and a large secure colourbond shed at the rear of the property. The cafe and retail building includes a commercial kitchen, cafe with a landscaped sheltered courtyard, meeting room and associated disabled, ladies and mens facilities. It would be a minimal cost to make a one or two bedroom modification in the Meeting -Showroom- area or you could make a significant home inside the historic sandstone barn.
There is ample off street parking for both cars and buses at the front of the property with easy vehicular access to the rear of the property. All buildings are in excellent condition and have been maintained to a very high standard. There is scope for additional development on the property (STCA).
The possibilities for such a property are endless with Tasmania's expanding tourism industry focused around high quality product and experiences. This property is ideal for a food or beverage operation wishing to manufacture and showcase its product.
Tasmania is experiencing significant world-wide recognition for its high quality whisky industry having been given a further boost in the last Federal Budget. With large manufacturing area, high quality showroom and ready made bond store, this property is a perfect fit for a distillery. Its location in this historic stage coach town of Oatlands would make an ideal and logical extension to the whisky 'trail' with Nant distillery at Bothwell, Redlands and Belgrove distilleries at Kempton and the Shene distillery at Pontville.
The large historic sandstone building, originally the Presbyterian Hall, built in 1861, has a ceiling height of 4.2 meters, suitable for distillation equipment. Alterations would allow for taller installations with the peak of the hall reaching approx. 6.2 metres.
A major marketing advantage of Oatlands is the recently restored Callington Mill, the only working example of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. It should be possible to have local barley turned into grist ready for distillation.
This property with its sound proof meeting or conference room, well set out showroom, 3 heat pumps and full insulation, solid concrete floors in the manufacturing area and 270 square meter storage in the rear colourbond shed, also makes it ideal for a centrally located agribusiness.
The caf/showroom area was also designed to be easily converted into an elegant home. This versatile property is also available for lease.

After going to a funeral, Japanese throw salt on their doorstep before re-entering their houses to purify themselves and take away the taint of death. Talking about death is thought to bring bad luck. Doctors rarely tell terminally ill patients the truth about their condition.
The flip side is an inordinately macabre interest in death from a distance. Japanese television cannot get enough footage of dead bodies in Rwanda. A recent documentary showed a live execution by machete in Burma. A video company last year compiled a collection of the worst atrocities from Bosnia for general distribution through video shops in Japan. Issei Sagawa, who killed and ate a Dutch student in Paris in 1981, has become a media celebrity and best-selling author.
Against this troubled background of death that dare not speak its name and death splashed in red across the centrefold comes the gentle, unassuming figure of Rokusuke Ei, an author and broadcaster, who has written a book entitled Daiojo, or Peaceful Death. The book - a collection of his own thoughts as well as comments by people he has met during the course of his 'wanderings' - has surprised him and his publisher by soaring to the top of bestselling lists. In the four months, 750,000 copies have been sold.
Ei began writing the book after the deaths of a close friend and his father, who was a Buddhist priest, in 1992. But it is not an austere religious tract - more a kitchen garden, topsy-turvy with human experiences, full of all the fear, pain, hope and hopelessness, and dry humour that the approach of death elicits.
'If I vanish, I would like to vanish beautifully at least,' one poetically-minded person told him. 'My husband is thinking about the time when he is retired. I am thinking about being a widow,' a less sentimental lady pronounced.
'The loneliness of farewells, and the emptiness of life - if you can come to terms with both of these things, you will be able to stand death,' another of his anonymous contributors said. 'You shouldn't get depressed about baldness or grey hair,' said another. 'You can live until you get bald or your hair turns grey.'
But not a few old people in hospital complained about the indignity of waiting in an institution for a lonely, friendless death. 'They wake you up when you are sleeping, and give you sleeping pills when you are awake and they decide it is time for you to sleep.'
Ei is critical of the trend in Japan of leaving people to die in hospitals. Some 85 per cent of deaths in Japan are in hospital. 'Death has been isolated from real life,' said Ei. 'Religion and medicine have become totally split, unlike before when young people growing up would see older people dying in the house.' Buddhism used to be a help: Ei pointed out that in representations of the death of Buddha, he is surrounded by animals and disciples who are all smiling, without sadness. 'Very different to the death of Jesus Christ. That looks quite painful.'
The taboo on telling patients they have cancer, Ei says, is largely due to the inability of the doctor to confront his patient. But he says that none the less doctors are not afraid to put an end to unnecessary suffering. 'In Japan you do not express exactly how you feel, but often terminally ill patients will expect doctors to perform mercy killings. No one says it openly, but the message gets across - often eye communication is better than using your mouth.'
How to find the 'peaceful death' of his book's title? Ei smiled. 'Everyone dies, that's certain,' reads a poem at the end of his book. 'When death comes, if you can look back and say you are glad to have been born, glad to have lived - that is a peaceful death.'Reuse content

(HILLSBORO, NC) -- KSEXradio.com President and General Manager, Chris R., along with Program Director, Wankus, are high fiving on their way back to their collective offices, after a three day visit to the main headquarters of Adam & Eve in Hillsboro--a trip that proved to be very productive.
Adam & Eve [A&E] was known as KSEXradio's Executive Sponsor for the last 10 months, an advertising roll that not only gave them more variety in marketing exposure, but in a small way gave them a hub in Los Angeles. Nearly every in-house KSEX event was presented by A&E, listener prize giveaways were sponsored by A&E and even trips given away at the popular Porn Star Karaoke--courtesy of KSEX and Adam & Eve. The two companies also combined on KSEXradio's first adult DVD, "KSEX 1: Sexual Frequency" which is finally nearing release after many post production problems. At the AVN conventions and scattered other expos, A&E along with KSEX, combined forces bringing fans and industry booth visitors many reasons to come drop in and interact with live radio broadcast, big name adult stars signing autographs and more.
During Chris and Wankus' visit this past week, A&E and KSEX signed a one year advertising contract that includes elements of their last agreement with added bells and whistles. "We're going to combine forces a little more this year," Wankus remarked. "We're going to start targeting promotions towards existing A&E users to get them more interactive. We're going to plan and participate in more fan base promotions collectively and we're going to start modifying our websites to offer each other a little more to our respective audiences."
Already moving forward with the renewed partnership, A&E has just completed construction of the "KSEX Broadcast Tower" on top of their already amazing booth used for the annual Adult Video News [AVN], Las Vegas show. KSEX Porn Jockeys and their extensive big name porn star cast will be wireless and conducting interviews live, high atop most other exhibitor booths, viewed by fans from clear across the convention floor.
As an added bonus, A&E has agreed to also sign on as the main sponsor for the 2004 KSEXradio.com Listeners' Choice Awards, an annual event held this year on December 4, 2004 at Paladino's Lounge in Reseda, California. The event is being hosted by adult star, Layla Jade with musical entertainment provided by the Dazz Band [Let it Whip] and SlapBak. Tickets for the event are on sale now at the link below.

Post WisCon and continuing to watch the big list of Race!Fail/Mammoth!Fail links grow, I was curious when the conversation peaked and if there were any signals if this particular iteration of a discussion about race in fandom had reached its peak. So I looked at this version of the list and counted up the number of posts. From what I've gathered looking around, it is one of the best lists of its kind and is helpfully broken down by date. It doesn't include everything but I'm assuming that the links are representative enough across that posting totals give an overall accurate picture. Doing that, we get the following chart:
It looks like it took about a week for people to really start responding to the Elizabeth Bear precipitating event. That discussion lasted from about January 12 to January 28th before it dropped off.
Things got kick started again big time when there was the Will Shetterly, John Scalzi, trying to get published authors to renounce racism events. This started in early March and ended by around March 22.
Things were relatively quiet and stayed quiet until May 8th or so when Mammoth!Fail happened.
This situation looks like it will continue. How it will continue looks largely based on how those responding to anti-racist react and if the anti-racists find new books that they deem racists and how the alleged racist material is responded to by the author or their friends. Those two things seem to be defining catalysts. Each event seems to take two to three weeks to work through.

The path followed the creek downstream at a little distance away into the woods. It was narrow, but seemingly well traveled. They could hear the flowing water off to their left, and catch glimpses of fresh green forage through the trees. They saw only occasional canine tracks, but the scent, slight though it was, was steady.
Just after noon, they agreed that they should start looking for a place to spend the night. No one wanted to be on this trail after dark, and Hobie had learned that waiting late in the day almost made certain a hasty, uncomfortable search for shelter. They were determined not to split up, so they sped up to cover more ground, and have a better chance of finding suitable refuge.
After about half an hour, the ground began to slope more steeply away from the stream, and to their right a little way through the trees the terrain was strewn with large boulders in many shapes. Some were round like large versions of the pebbles in the creek. Others had tortured shapes as though they had been coughed out on the hillside by some large, very angry dragon. Ben thought that they might find a good place to spend the night among the boulders, so the ventured off to the right onto the slope.
They spotted a depressed, and almost level piece of ground between two large slabs of rock that would at least provide shelter from the wind. Ben led the way into the broad crevice. As soon as they stepped inside it they realized that this was not a place they wanted to stay. It was a place of death. The smell was in the soil and hanging on the rock sides. Then they saw them. At the far end there were fresh bones. The small band quickly made their way back to the trail, and continued in the direction they had been traveling.

Pray Pretencious Soul
Pray, pretencious soul
Why so glum?
Whereforth that smile smug
From a moment ago?
Pray pretencious soul
Why so quiet?
Has that pesky little cat caught
Such a witty tongue as yours?
Pray pretencious soul
Why so alone?
Where hath gone thy
Ecstatic enamoured entrouge?
Pray, pretencious soul
Are those tears?
But why of sadness...
When laughter their lord hath been?
Silence sarcastic speaker!
Stupid, know it all you be
Obvious it is, that tonight
Pretencious is not what I be.

|Dry Bones
|Game Series
|Mario series
|First Appearance
|Super Mario Bros. 3 (1989)
|Japanese Name:
|カロン, Karon
|Koopa Troop
|Deceased Koopa
|Shigeru Miyamoto
Dry Bones (カロン, Karon also known as Skeleton Koopas) are a fictional species of undead koopa in Nintendo's Mario series of video games. They are skeleton versions of Koopa Troopas.
Dry Bones are the skeletal remains of Koopa Troopas that have been re-animated. When jumped on, a Dry Bones will fall apart. However, a collapsed Dry Bones will eventually reassemble itself to its original form. However, they can be defeated with certain special attacks (such as with the Cape Feather, Hammer Bros. Suit or Starman). Dry Bones usually prefer dark places, mainly castles, but have been known to live in other areas like the desert or sunken ships.

University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada
PURPOSE:Chronic cough is a common reason for pulmonologist consultation, accounting for up to 38% of outpatient referrals. To meet the demands, other health care professionals are used to compensate for the shortage of physicians. Certified respiratory educators (CRE) provide services that traditionally have been provided by physicians such as education, teaching proper inhaler technique, and providing advice to patients. In the absence of radiographic abnormalities, hemoptysis, or systemic symptoms, chronic cough is rarely due to a life-threatening condition but may profoundly effect quality of life (QOL).
METHODS:After being screened to rule out life-threatening conditions, 123 patients with chronic cough were randomized to care by a pulmonologist (MD) or CRE. All patients had a normal chest radiograph within 2 months of assessment. All patients had spirometry. A cough-specific QOL questionnaire (French et al, Chest 2002) was completed at the first visit and after 6 months. In the CRE arm, all patients were assessed with a form-directed history and physical exam and treatment was directed at the likely cause(s) of the cough. Care and follow up in the other arm was at the discretion of the MD.
RESULTS:The mean age of the patients was 50.3 years, 74% were female, 8% were current smokers, and median cough duration was 18 months. Overall QOL was similar in the two groups at 6 months (initial overall QOL score: CRE vs MD, p=0.023, score at 6 months: CRE vs MD, p=0.37). Overall QOL improved similarly in the 2 arms at 6 months (CRE: 56.3+/-13.8 to 46.3+/-14.3, n=65, p<0.0001, MD: 62.0 +/- 13.3 to 48.7 +/- 15.5, n=58, p<0.0001).
CONCLUSION:At 6 months, QOL improved in each of the 6 domains. Chronic cough patients without abnormal chest x-rays, hemoptysis, or systemic symptoms will experience similar improvements in cough-specific QOL whether assessed and managed by a pulmonologist or certified respiratory educator.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:Certified respiratory educators can effectively manage properly screened patients expediting their care and shortening wait times for pulmonologists.

The latest news from academia, regulators
research labs and other things of interest

Computer model fills fundamental knowledge gaps of perovskites
|Methylammonium lead iodide, the quintessential perovskite, consists of a repeating array of lead and iodine atoms bonded to form a cage-like structure like a nanoscopic, three-dimensional form of chicken wire. Trapped within each tiny cage sits a methylammonium molecule, held in place by hydrogen bonds.
|Khuong Ong at A*STARs Institute of High Performance Computing and his co-workers have been exploring how methylammonium lead iodides basic properties shift as the materials cage-like structure expands mimicking the effect of temperature increases. This volume change disrupts the internal network of hydrogen bonds, causing a reorientation of the methylammonium unit within each cage, which in turn affects the perovskites optical and electrical properties.
|Early experimental work had suggested that methylammonium lead iodide shape-shifts between three distinct structures, or phases, as the material expands. But later work suggested that a fourth phase might form under certain conditions. Ong and his team used a model to simulate the structures response to expansion, from which they could calculate the most stable structure at any given volume. Their results confirm that a fourth phase which will have its own unique combination of properties, and may turn out to be useful for solar devices forms at certain intermediate sizes.
|Our study guides the solar cell community to explore conditions for the existence of these different structural phases in methylammonium lead iodide, Ong says. Now that the team has established the structure of this fourth phase, techniques pioneered by the computer chip industry can be used to selectively grow it in the lab, probe its properties and test its performance in solar devices.
|Meanwhile, Ong and his team will continue to use computer models to explore the different phases perovskites can form, establish how the materials properties change as a result and test the potential of structural embellishments to boost sunlight capture: We are looking for new ways to multi functionalize the perovskite and improve its efficiency as a solar material, Ong says.

text: LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., Dec. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- United Community Bancorp (Nasdaq: "UCBA") (the "Company") announced today that United Community Bancorp, the proposed successor holding company to the Company in connection with the Company's pending conversion from mutual holding company to stock holding company form ("new United Community"), has competed its resolicitation of initial subscribers in the subscription and community offerings required as a result of the previously announced increase in the maximum purchase limitations in the offering. Following the resolicitation, new United Community had orders for approximately 2.6 million shares. In order to complete the offering, new United Community Bancorp must sell a minimum of 2,966,787 shares. The Board of Directors has determined to extend the community offering and solicit additional purchasers in order to complete the offering. The community offering may be terminated at any time in the Company's sole discretion and the Company currently anticipates that the offering will be completed today. The Company retains the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion, orders received in the community offering. The closing of the conversion and offering remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The offering is expected to close at no higher than the midpoint of the offering range. United Community Bancorp is the holding company of United Community Bank, headquartered in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. United Community Bank currently operates eight offices in Dearborn County and Ripley County, Indiana. This press release contains certain forward-looking statements about the conversion and offering. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include delays in consummation of the conversion and offering, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and United Community Bank are engaged.

Doctor Spotlight: Steven S Carp, MD, FACS
posted on
Dr. Steven S. Carp
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Canton, Akron and Uniontown, (OH) Ohio
Steven S. Carp, MD, FACS, is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and has specialized in cosmetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery since 1993. Dr. Carp understands that plastic surgery requires a combination of skills, technique and an artistic eye; knowing each and every patient has different needs that must be understood. The combination of which presents him with an exciting and challenging career.
Breast Surgery by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Breast augmentation surgery is Dr. Carp's favorite procedure to perform. He has observed so many women enhance their self confidence giving them a tremendous positive impact on their life. Breast enhancement surgery is one the most popular surgical procedures that Dr. Carp performs, having placed thousands of breast implants. Based on a gentle, more patient-oriented approach Dr. Carp uses meticulous near bloodless techniques, with no traumatic ripping of tissues or touching of the ribs with instruments. Many of his patients combine breast augmentation with a tummy tuck for a Mommy Makeover.
Recently Dr. Carp was reviewing a record of a patient who had undergone breast augmentation. The patient was shy, self conscious about her appearance, and appeared to have some level of reduced self esteem. As he viewed her breast augmentation before and after photos he noticed her posture and recalled her attitude after surgery. It was different…more confident.
"This is why plastic surgeons do what we do." states Dr. Carp. "The transformation is not just the physical, but in many, if not most, it is also psychological. Year after year I see patients thrilled with their result and how it has changed their life. And in some ways, this seems more true with plastic surgery than when I was a general surgeon. Each time I see this, I am reminded that what I and other plastic surgeons do daily is important. It is a critical part of health care. It is what being a physician is all about."
Dr. Carp's preferred charity is the American Cancer Society. Having personally experienced the impact on his family, the fight to cure and prevent cancer is being won.

Dr. Carp is a member in good standing with numerous local and national medical organizations, including:

Author's Note: The title comes from Wilkie Collins' detective novel, The Moonstone, about the mysterious disappearance of a large diamond. But the most memorable scene for me was the shivering sands scene—the site of the maid's suicide and where, we learn, she hid a locked box full of evidence that will disclose the jewel thief. And—just so Victorian! The handsome gentleman heads to the shivering sands, armed with this knowledge (and a big stick) and delves into their depths, poking about for the elusive box, and the sands shiver and shudder and heave and quiver as he does it. And then the box is pried open, revealing a stained shift—and just, I can't explain why it's so funny to me, but I still scream 'The sands! It's the shivering sands!' whenever I come across thinly-veiled metaphors for female orgasms.
When I was writing 'Getting There', I found myself accidentally writing a shivering sands scene—that skin thing snuck up on me. Suddenly a very different fic—I could just imagine the later sex scene where Logan demands she 'leave it on'. But I can't write sex scenes, and I also needed to, like, hurry up and streamline the series already…or somewhat. So, while this didn't make it, I do so like to scream, 'Shivering sands!'… shrug Kept this around for fun.
I: Shivering Sands
He kept throwing out quizzical looks at her after the incident, like he couldn't quite figure her out. She didn't really get that, since they were doing basically the same things they'd always done, but… well, she wasn't going to think too hard about it.
Honestly, she liked him better when he was a bit off-stride.
So she wasn't too surprised when he suggested that they take a ride somewhere, on a Saturday. She could see that, whatever he was asking himself about her, he wasn't getting any answers. Traditionally, their rides out had been about those, usually just before he left.
She wondered what, exactly, he was questioning now.
But the day was lovely. Unseasonably warm.
They wound their way up some backroads through the mountains. An hour on the bike, pressed up against him, the heady feel of the wind on her face: well, she was sorry they arrived.
She laid her head against his shoulder for one last moment, feeling the warmth of the sun-bathed leather, then with a shake, she disembarked, striding to the edge of the lot and surveying the view with a hand held up to her brow. She could hear Logan parking the bike and then strolling up to join her.
'Nice place,' she commented, and she led him on a short hike down, past the picnic area, towards a more isolated spot on top of a hill. They laid out congenially, propped up on their elbows, sunning themselves and enjoying the view.
He was absently shredding grass, not looking at her, and she could see he wasn't about to start a conversation any time soon. So she shrugged, relaxed, and let herself enjoy the easy atmosphere, easy company.
Tilting her head up to the sun, she closed her eyes, concentrated fiercely on the sensation. It was times like this that, suddenly, the urge to turn her skin on came to her. She inhaled slowly, grappling with the idea—it was safe: who would touch her now? She paused, just gave in…felt that power, that hum, let it flood her with sensation. God, that felt amazing!
She breathed sharply through the rippling surge and smiled in pleasure, enjoying the old familiar pull for a few breaths. With a sigh, she turned it off, feeling the difference, the loss, the sun only now, beating down upon her face.
She opened her eyes to catch him staring at her, and she was mortified to see that he could tell. She babbled, 'I—sometimes I just…I get the urge to turn it on again.' She felt acutely guilty that she hadn't warned him, embarrassed that he'd seen…whatever, and she finished lamely, 'I…it feels good.'
He looked very uncomfortable. 'You can leave it on,…if you want to,' he offered gruffly. But he didn't look like he really meant it.
'No,' she answered quickly, drawing up, pressing her knees to her chest. 'It's better off. It's just an urge sometimes. It's gone now.'
He shifted restlessly behind her, and she berated herself for what a bad idea that had been. She was just about to spring up, work off some of this restless energy and acute discomfort, when he cleared his throat. 'So when it's off,' he began haltingly, rising up to sit beside her, 'it's not…?'
She didn't know if she really wanted to explain, really, but… She hastened to assure him, 'It's just more, when it's on, you know. It feels powerful, or something, and sometimes…sometimes it's nice to remember, to feel that again.'
He nodded, considering, and in light of his more collected demeanor, the apology tumbled out, 'I'm sorry. It was just, it was you—and I thought—I felt, suddenly when I got the urge that I could. Safe. And I should have warned you—er, not done it. I'm sorry. Sorry.'
'It's ok,' he said patiently, and he scooped her up and into him, so that their faces were close and his arms encircled her.
He grabbed one hand and held it, watching his thumb run slowly across the back of it. She was tense, nervous, trembling…something, but so grateful that he would still touch her again, like this. He looked up, straight into her eyes, and stated, 'I want you to do it again.'
'I want you to turn your skin on, Rogue,' he pressed, and he broke the hold on her hand to clasp her covered forearm, loose but firm, keeping her still.
'Logan, I d-don't…'
'Do it,' he said, his voice low, almost hypnotic. 'Look at me this time. Do it again and look at me.'
She swallowed, though her mouth was suddenly dry. Her throat was tight, and she felt an enormous pressure in her chest. But his gaze—she couldn't tear herself away from the probing eyes, commanding her to do it.
And she did. She turned it on, felt the jolt, the rush of it again, her back arching a little, and this time the sensations were more powerful, more turbulent, as she could see him see her the whole time.
'You can see it,' he murmured, and he touched a hand to the shock of white hair.
She gave a shaky laugh, nearly trembling. Being this close to danger and still feeling this power was heady – she'd forgotten what it was like, since she'd learned how to turn it off. His hand cupped round the back of her head, and the buzzing, the pleasure, intensified, dancing along her skin, her nerve endings, and she was nearly vibrating with it. The roar—she bit her lip, shuddered.
His hand settled heavily on her shoulder, and she turned it off, slumping a bit and catching her breath. He traced down her arm to her hand again, and held it in an easy grip, but she twitched a little, touch suddenly strange.
She buried her head in his shoulder and gave another half-laugh of embarrassment, and he gave her hand a squeeze. 'Hey,' he cajoled, shrugging his shoulders a bit to get her to surface.
'God, Logan, you must have a death wish or something,' she mumbled, straightening and smoothing her hair.
'Hey, you haven't killed me yet,' he pointed out.
'Yeah, but it doesn't feel safe right when I turn it on,' she argued. 'It always feels so unstable just then, so needy.' She blew out a breath, half-scooted, turned away. She leaned back, settled herself.
'Must get hard, keeping it off all the time,' he remarked, observing her.
'No,' she shook her head. 'Not usually.' In the silence, she worked up the courage to finally look at him again. He was still, eyeing her with that patient look that said he was just waiting…for what, she never knew. She cracked a crooked smile. 'So that was fun.' Almost sarcastically.
He shook his head, frowned, 'That was…' He looked so serious.
She didn't want to know what that was. She scrambled to her feet, twitched as she looked around distractedly.
He rose, too, suddenly stood before her, clasped her face between his palms. 'Don't ever forget,' he imprecated, small shake for emphasis. 'Don't ever forget you have the power to do that.'
She grasped the edges of his jacket, held on, for balance. 'I-' she licked her lips. 'I won't.' How could she, possibly?
His eyes drifted over her face, her hair, her mouth, 'You may not be ready for it now, Rogue. But someday—' he backed up a step, loosened his hold, encompassed her trembling body in his gaze this time—'someday you will be. Just don't forget: off isn't gone.'
'I know,' she answered softly, flicking him uneasy, sidelong glances.
He sighed ruefully, his shoulders drooping a bit, rocked back on his heels. 'Thank you,' he pressed a thumb to the corner of her mouth, smiled with more affection, 'for showing me.' She shrugged, and his thumb trailed down, became a friendly clasp of the shoulder. 'You were beautiful.'
She snorted. 'Yeah, poison skin'll do that every time.'
He slung his arm around her shoulder. 'Come on,' he squeezed, ambling back towards the bike. 'Enough for today.'
'So you're not gonna quiz me over my life, try and suss out my life story?' She didn't know why she felt so belligerent, except that she felt so exposed.
He hesitated, searched her eyes. 'Marie, you don't…do you mind, coming up here with me?'
Short shake, small, embarrassed, 'no.' She didn't mind.
'Then,' he brushed back some hair from her face, 'there's no rush.' Strange smile, eyes unfathomable. Strange tone: soft but not quite comforting. They'd arrived back at the bike, and he proffered her helmet.
She took it, swallowed. 'Ok,' she agreed shyly, felt like she'd committed to…something much larger now. He slanted her his lopsided grin, and she thought—it might be ok—clambered on board behind him, grasped tight. She leaned into him, and he gunned the engine, and they motored out of sight.

I love it when our clients step up and share their successes using GLM! During last week's Chicago Area User Group meeting, Daren Nordhagen, Foundant's President, presented and demoed some new features of GLM Reports. During his demo, one of our clients and friends, Jacqui Lara from the McGowan Charitable Fund, requested to take over his computer and show the McGowan site. This was the perfect opportunity for everyone in the room to see the reports she's built and to view their output on a real client's site. It was wonderful, very educational and informative for all. Thank you, Jacqui! (move over Daren!)
We had a smaller group than normal at this event, but it allowed us to dig into and answer some very specific questions from the attendees, pull up some of their sites and make changes on the spot. The group asked great questions and not only learned a lot from us but mostly from each other. This was the perfect event to end our trip to Chicago for the week of April 8th.
The couple days before the User Group, Daren and I attended and exhibited at the COF Annual Conference. There, we were able to visit with a few clients and talk to many organizations looking to improve their online grantmaking systems.
It was a great week on the road and I would like to give special thanks to Jacqui Lara for being our team lead for the User Group and securing the space at Donors Forum for our meeting. It's a great venue and they are very generous to provide the centrally located space for these events.
Thanks to everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon!

Three manhole covers exploded into the air yesterday morning on a residential block in central Queens, injuring no one but shattering glass in apartment buildings as high as the 19th floor and jolting residents who feared a terrorist attack.
The simultaneous explosions were caused by fires in electrical cables under the street, and took place about 8 a.m. on 83rd Avenue in Kew Gardens, said Brenda Perez, a spokeswoman for Consolidated Edison. The block, just south of Queens Boulevard, would have been crowded with people going to work and children bound for a nearby elementary school if not for the federal holiday, several people said.
After the blasts, dozens of bleary-eyed people staggered outside to see thick white smoke dissipating and pavements littered with shards of hot metal and broken glass. To their amazement, there were no people.
''It's a miracle no one was hurt,'' said Elaine LeGaro, an actress who lives on the second floor of a building that sits next to one of the manholes. Like many others, she was asleep when she heard the blast.Continue reading the main story
Throwing on some clothing, she ran downstairs to find a scene of panic and commotion in the lobby. The glass doors and windows on the first floor of her building had been shattered, she said, and there was a strong smell, like cooking gas, in the air. Helicopters began circling overhead, and she wondered for a moment if the city was under attack.
Across the street, Lee Bollinger was eating breakfast when a terrific boom rang out and the whole building seemed to shake.
''Right away I went out on the balcony and looked to see if a plane had hit the building,'' he said. ''I thought it was a terrorist thing.''
Glenn Burke, the superintendent at 123-33 83rd Avenue, which suffered the most damage, said that 50 to 100 windows and some glass doors had been broken
The blast did not cause any power failures, Ms. Perez said, and no one had to be evacuated.
Sol Hochberg, 82, watching Con Edison workers cleaning up, said the blast was a good lesson.
''I know what it sounds like in Iraq now,'' he said.Continue reading the main story

Washington D.C. (July 30) – The New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals by the score of 8-5 Friday night. Dillon Gee started for the Mets and he continues to pitch well. The bullpen pitched well although, Bobby Parnell had a rough game. The offense continues to roll; David Wright had a couple more hits. Ronny Paulino had a big game.
Gee pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up four hits and three runs with two being earned. He walked four and struck out five. Gee is now 10-3 with a 3.69 ERA. Ryota Igarashi faced one batter and got him out, Bobby Parnell pitched 1/3 of an inning giving up three hits and two runs, and he did strike out a batter. Tim Byrdak gave up two hits without recording an out D.J. Carrasco struck out both batters that he faced and Jason Isringhausen pitched one inning giving up no runs and no hits, he struck out a batter. Isringhausen picked up his fifth save of the season and 298th of his career.
Jose Reyes had a hit, walk and two RBI. Justin Turner had a hit and Daniel Murphy had a hit and an RBI. Wright had two hits, Angel Pagan had a hit and an RBI and Jason Bay had two hits and an RBI. Lucas Duda had an RBI, Ronny Paulino had three hits and an RBI and Gee had a hit and an RBI. Bay, Reyes and Paulino all had a double. The Mets were 8-12 with runners in scoring position and they left four men on base. Reyes made an error.

Murphy had an RBI single, Pagan had an RBI single, Bay had an RBI groundout and Duda had a sacrifice fly. In the fourth Gee had an RBI single and Reyes had a sacrifice fly making it 6-0 Mets.

Gee is just the seventh Mets to have double-digit victories in a season. He is the first since Dwight Gooden in 1984. Tom Seaver was the first and that was in 1967. The Mets are starting to come on in the wild card race and who knows what could happen.

Welcome from Tennessee.......the "Patron State of Shootin' Stuff!"
This is a discussion on Backwards introduction within the New Members Introduce Yourself forums, part of the Welcome To DefensiveCarry.com category; Hello, I know I already have a few posts but I figured it was about time I posted an intro thread. I'm just not good ...
I know I already have a few posts but I figured it was about time I posted an intro thread. I'm just not good at these so I wasn't really sure what to say.
My interest in firearms started as interest in self-defense. I was the target of an attempted mugging back when I was in high school. It was a traumatic experience and I never, ever wanted to feel that way again. After that, I carried my mace everywhere I went and kept my head on a swivel. My parents are gun-owners, so I was introduced to firearms via a CCW class for my 18th birthday. I turn 21 in 2 months, so the last year or so I've spent more time on the range, tried to learn as much as I can on the internet, and lurked here until I joined recently, in preparation for getting my CCW soon.
I don't post much, but mainly lurk and like other people's posts. But when I do post, I like to offer a woman's perspective since we are the definite minority in this area, and I often see statements made about carrying that really don't apply to me as a woman.
I apologize if I step on anyone's toes. I have a very straight-forward way of interacting online, but I never intend to be rude.

IVEL – Traffic shifts throughout the work zone at Ivel started Thursday. Highway District 12 crew members will work in traffic to make necessary changes so that the road will not have to be shut down at any time.
Southbound traffic will get both lanes back. One northbound lane will be open for all northbound traffic. The outer lane – the one next to the hillside – will remain closed until construction is complete on a rockfall barrier fence. This is the final phase of the slide repair project that began in May after a serious rockfall briefly closed all four lanes of US 23 at this site.
While the road is reconfigured for the traffic pattern change, motorists can expect intermittent delays of as much as 15 to 20 minutes. "In order to put traffic back in one of the northbound lanes, we must remove the temporary striping that signaled the traffic shift into the southbound lane," said Darold Slone, Engineering Branch Manager for Highway District 12. Slone said that other work includes repositioning and changing signage, repositioning and/or removal of barrels and barriers, and re-striping to direct drivers into the northbound inside lane.
The speed limit in the work zone will still be reduced to 45 miles per hour. However, the restriction on wide loads will end as soon as the work tomorrow is finished.
"Overall, the public has been helpful and patient throughout this process," Slone said, "and we appreciate everyone's understanding and support. Just a few more weeks and traffic can get back to normal along this section of US 23. We just need people to slow down, be alert, and pay attention to the signs and flaggers as we make the adjustments tomorrow that will remain in effect until the rest of the work is finished."

Bloomberg's latest health push: Getting New Yorkers to take the stairs
The new Center for Active Design is the centerpiece of a plan to help New Yorkers become more active and fight obesity.
Thu Jul 18 2013
First it was the smoking ban; then it was posting calorie counts at restaurants; then it was the unsuccessful attempt to ban the sale of excessively large sugary drinks. And now, with just months left to go in his final term, Mayor Bloomberg has proposed another way to try and get New Yorkers to be ever-so-slightly healthier.
Bloomie announced that the city is amping up its efforts to promote physical activity by implementing initiatives focused on "active design"; the city has also established the Center for Active Design, a nonprofit dedicated to the cause. The idea is to encourage architects and city planners to incorporate those ideas—things like safer forms of active transportation, parks designed for active use, and easier-to-navigate stairs and sidewalks—into new structures and spaces. (The High Line, pictured above, is one example of active-design principles in action.)
What does this mean for you? Not much! Unlike the smoking ban (now a decade old) or the controversial—and unrealized—soda ban, the new campaign is less a directive than it is a gentle nudge for both citizens and planners to consider healthier choices. "The active-design movement asks design professionals to be part of the solution and find new ways to encourage movement, both in buildings and on the streets," said Department of Design and Construction commissioner David Burney.
Bloomberg even discussed his own efforts to be more physically active, saying, "I have five floors in my house; I take the stairs." While we're guessing most people who live here don't have that luxury, the mayor makes a good point: A recent study found that daily activities like climbing stairs can be—over time—as beneficial to your health as going to the gym.

This year the meeting will be held in Louisville, KY.
October 6th-8th, 2016
The Galt House Hotel will be the meeting site. Hotel reservations can now be made here. Sign up for the conference here.
The Galt House Hotel is across the street from the floating station which will make touring the waterfront a breeze. Opportunities for those who would like to RV/camp, or Inn/B&B can also be researched for those interested in alternative accommodations.
The conference is in the final stages of planning. The speakers have been identified and scheduled as part of the events, thanks in no small part to the Louisville delegation assisting us with the planning. Special tours have been scheduled.
If you plan on coming early or staying a few extra days, the Louisville Visitor Bureau http://www.gotolouisville.com/index.aspx is a good place to start your search. The upcoming emails will include some suggested opportunities for you to plan on your own either before or after the annual meeting.
Did you know that from 1881 to 1972, the Life Saving Service, and later the Coast Guard, patrolled the Falls area, rescuing rivermen and passengers, saving stranded boats and cargoes, recovering victims of drowning, and performing heroic action during Ohio River floods. Station records reveal that between 1881 and 1915, 7000 lives and property worth $6 million were saved by the crews of LSS#10. This important lifesaving station closed in 1972. The station had three floating stations during its history.

The currency in Costa Rica is the colón. You'll usually find the best exchange rates in your destination and can pay with your debit or credit card in many places. The most convenient way to obtain cash is to use your ATM card at local banks in Costa Rica. It is important that you inform your financial institutions of your travel plans before you leave home so they don't flag your purchases as potentially fraudulent charges.
One of the most enjoyable parts of traveling is sampling the local cuisine. In Costa Rica food mild and simple with many dishes centered on rice, beans, vegetables and meat. Try the local ceviche prepared with octopus, shrimp, tilapia and seabass cured with lemon juice and spices. You'll find an abundance of fresh produce to enjoy including plantains, coconut, papaya and mango. Costa Rican coffee is strong and rich; try it black or order it with milk (café con leche).
Costa Rica has an enjoyable climate with sunshine throughout the year. We suggest bringing a variety of comfortable, lightweight clothing that can be layered to save space in your suitcase and give you more options for how to dress. Sturdy walking shoes are important. Insect repellant and sunscreen may come in handy, as well as a light jacket and reusable water bottle. For more helpful information please refer to our Packing Tips & Packing List.
Restaurants in Costa Rica are required by law to add 13 percent tax and 10 percent gratuity to the bill. For this reason Costa Ricans do not tip. If you would like to leave an additional tip to reward good service, it's appropriate to leave 5-10 percent for your waiter.
At the end of your guided vacation, it's customary to offer your motor coach driver and Travel Director a gratuity. We recommend the equivalent of $4 per person/per day for your driver and $6 per person/per day for your Travel Director. Recommended gratuity for a Local Host and Local Specialist is the equivalent of 1-2 dollars per person, paid at the conclusion of each guided visit. A convenient option is to prepay your tips before your departure.
Baggage on our trips is restricted to one large suitcase per person with dimensions not exceeding 30x19x10 inches and a maximum weight of 50 pounds.
