3 Reasons Why Volunteering is Great for Kids to do Weekly
As all of us were growing up, volunteering has always been a very altruistic thing. The feeling of giving back out of your blessed fortune to others who may not have as much, or have not been given the same hand in life is a very cool thing.
That can mean something as simple as doing down to your local soup kitchen on Thanksgiving and helping serve people, to actually going all-in and working for a non-profit, trying to help them make ends meet.
What ever you are doing in the volunteering world, the most important part is that you are just DOING it. Not talking about it, or meaning to, but actually going down to do the work, and provide something for someone in need.
But how do we instill that same desire to serve in our kids? How do we teach them that helping people and freely giving will not only bless other people's lives, but even bless their own?
Initially, this process may have to be prompted by you to get the interested and down there, but believe me – it will be the best experience of their lives to do. Myself, as well as many other people believe that volunteering should be added to a child's schedule, and be just as important as any sport or social time.
You should strive to make this happen on a weekly occurrence, and always keep showing them why they are doing it. Here a few benefits of having kids volunteer on a weekly basis in their community:
Builds Attitude of Gratitude
The main thing that being generous and volunteering does is build an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving in kids, making them thankful for what they have, and not as envious of others. This will not only make them better people in the long run, but will also bless the people they are serving with the great example.
Opens up connections and opportunities
As a child starts to get a little older, volunteering and the connections made there just may open doors to places and opportunities that never would have come up before. Companies often pay their employees to volunteer, so your child could just happen to have great exposure to some very high-powered people, and be shown in a very good light doing so.
Puts Life in Perspective
Helping people less fortunate also serves to put life in much better perspective for them as well. They will start to realize that everything isn't about them, and that there are more important things in this world than just looking out for themselves. That kind of perspective will take time to grow and develop, but is absolutely essential for a creating a 'good person' in the long run.
So in the end, you may or may not choose to have your kids volunteer as much as weekly, but I really do highly recommend that you at least go on a regular basis. It will really start to give them a good perspective on how the world really works, and how to be a better person in it.

What a great idea! My kids are always trying to figure out things to do after school and in the summer. Why not have them give back? Love the concept, and my kids will now be regulars at the soup kitchen!

Don't ethical funds mean giving up investment performance to salve your conscience?
Not necessarily. Plenty of funds with an ethical stance have done very well. In fact, figures from Moneyfacts published this week show ethical funds have done better than non-ethical funds in the past year.
Are you sure?
Absolutely. In fact the average ethical fund posted gains of 24 per cent in the last 12 months, compared with just 18 per cent growth from the average non-ethical fund. They have also outperformed UK Index Trackers (up 23 per cent) and the FTSE 100 (18 per cent).
Well that's surely an anomaly?
Not really. Over three years it's a similar tale. with ethical fund returns also edging ahead of non-ethical funds, by posting growth of 36 per cent compared with 31 per cent.
Why has it happened?
Ethical funds have benefited by avoiding sectors such as mining, oil and gas and tobacco, which have been among the poorer-performing areas over the last year.
So it's time to go green?
It's certainly worth considering, isn't it? After all, who doesn't want to make profits while saving the planet?

Canon IR-2530i Printer Review
Expert review of the Canon IR-2530i printer 19 November 2012
Offices that need cost effective monochrome printing and copying with colour scanning and optional fax will find the Canon IR-2530i suitable. The Canon ImageRUNNER 2530i prints up to 30 ppm at best, though larger-format documents are not produced as quickly. It is efficient in terms of productivity and cost and it features a wide range of optional add-ons for more versatile use. The Canon IR-2530i multifunction printer even has a touch-screen display for easy menu selection and setting adjustment. However, it still does not offer colour printing, but its extra features will suffice, especially for offices without great demand for colour prints.
The Canon IR-2530i black and white laser printer adopts the same design as other models in the 25xx series. The IR2530i copier features a touch screen display, USB and Ethernet interface, USB port for direct printing and scanning, and a built-in RAM with 512 MB capacity. Optional add-ons include the automatic document feeder, finisher options, and fax modem, while duplexing comes as a standard. The Canon IR-2530i mono laser printer allows faster data transmission and document production thanks to its 400 MHz processor.
In addition to its networkable design and high-quality outputs, the Canon ImageRUNNER IR-2530i copier printer is a popular choice among workgroups because of its comprehensive features and ease of use. The Canon IR 2530i printer offers low running costs and a wide range of expandability options, which are ideal for growing offices. Features can be customised according to the need and budget of workgroups. Users won't frequently have to change the Canon IR-2530i printer cartridge as this supply enables them to print approximately 14,600 pages.
However, the Canon IR-2530i laser printer does not support colour printing and it only offers fax sending as an option. Still, the IR2530i ImageRUNNER is a good choice for workgroups because of its networkability, high-volume capacity, and low running costs.

Yes David, that's a very good point. Thank you!
May 9 Posted 6 years ago
Catarina, we have run into a few employee venting problems. It's something that can be managed through a community manager. As long as you keep an eye on what is being said, and moderate the negativity you can squash a problem before it gets out of control. We have a system in place that starts with the CM. As soon as they spot a negative comment, the first thing we do is check to see if it's an employee. If that is the case then we take the comment down and alert the appropriate supervisors.
May 9 Posted 6 years ago
Alan, I agree. Semantics are important and it is necessary to stress the positive rather than the negative.
May 2 Posted 6 years ago
With respect to your first point: I co-wrote the social media interaction guidelines for my company. I was adamant about the use of the word 'guideline' versus 'policy' for the reason you outline. I didn't want it to read as a series of "you must not"; "you cannot"; "do not" items. Instead, I wanted it to read as "yes, go forth and talk about the company. Here are a few things to keep in mind in social media land..."
So, it's all about semantics, but I think it's important.
May 1 Posted 6 years ago
Good article that I agree with.
The main danger for companies is to get their reputation dented online by what employees write. But angry employees will be doing that in their spare time anyway. So restricting what they can do at work, will not have much of an impact.
In today's world everybody, rightly or wrongly has an audience, on Facebook if nowhere else.
The best thing a company can do st hence to make sure their internal communication is exceptionally good. If employees don't have ways of venting their anger or disappointment internally, that must be taken care of immediately.
Once employees get used to complaining internally you really shouldn't worry about social media networks but instead encourage your staff to use in beneficial ways. If necessary make staff sign NDAs.

Well I very much agree on your first three components, I would add a fourth. I know that it should be a best practice, and one that should not need to be "written", but employees need to know that it will be applied/enforced consistently throughout the organization and that it applies to everyone. Many employers that I have worked with have a policy, but it is not enforced equally, or at all. You could really fold this into one of the other three components, but I do think that it should be written.
Thank you!

text: PLATTEVILLE, Colo., May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergy Resources Corporation (NYSE MKT: SYRG), a domestic oil and gas exploration and production company focused in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (the "D-J Basin"), today provided initial production rates for the Wake E24-77HN horizontal well in which the Company has a 25% working interest. The well was drilled into the "B" bench of the Niobrara formation. Oil production commenced on March 2, 2012, and for the initial 30 days, the well produced 11,240 barrels of oil, an average production rate of 375 barrels per day. For the initial 60 days, the well produced 18,472 barrels, an average production rate of 308 barrels per day. Gas sales commenced on March 17, 2012, and for the initial 30 days of gas sales, the well produced 31,972 mcf of gas, an average production rate of 1,066 mcf per day. For the initial 60 days, the well produced 75,804 mcf of gas, an average production rate of 1,263 mcf per day. The Wake well is operated by Noble Energy and was the first horizontal well for Synergy. More recently, the Company has participated in two horizontal wells that are being completed by another operator. Going forward, the Company has agreed to participate in five additional horizontal wells to be drilled by various operators. Drilling activities are expected to commence during the next 30 days. Ed Holloway, Chief Executive Officer and President of Synergy, commented "We are pleased about these results for our first participation in a Niobrara horizontal well in the Wattenberg Field. The Wake well is demonstrating characteristics of high oil and natural gas liquids production consistent with other wells in the area. The well is located in the core area of the Wattenberg Field where our interests provide us with a significant number of potential horizontal drilling locations. Ed Holloway concluded, "Current economics in the D-J Basin are as strong as I have seen in my 30 years of working in this area." Craig Rasmuson, Vice President of Operations and Production for Synergy, said, "We are expanding our horizontal drilling activity in the Niobrara formation and we have elected to participate with other operators in eight horizontal wells where we hold working interests ranging from 6% to 28.75%. The increased pace of horizontal drilling activity in the D-J Basin by numerous operators has provided us with the opportunity to witness the best practices in the industry first hand. This will be very beneficial to us when Synergy starts drilling horizontal wells on our Wattenberg leases, which we will operate and hold the majority working interest." About Synergy Resources Corporation Synergy Resources Corporation is a domestic oil and natural gas exploration and production company. Synergy's core area of operations is in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, which encompasses Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska. The Wattenberg field in the D-J Basin is one of the most prolific production areas in the United States. Synergy's corporate offices are located in Platteville, Colorado.

I am a... transgender teacher
Wed Mar 5 2008
When my mom was pregnant with me, the doctor told her she was having a boy—then out popped a girl. I was born with a female body but never felt like a girl or a woman.
I came out as a lesbian when I was 18, and then as trans when I was 20. I started on hormone therapy right away, taking testosterone to look more like a man. At 22, I had surgery to have my breasts removed. I filed legal name-change documents and had my driver's license changed to say I'm male.
A couple years later, I got a job with the NYC Department of Education as a junior-high-school teacher. No one at work knows I was born biologically female, and I'm okay with keeping it that way. What's between my legs shouldn't matter, and I care a lot less about being discovered than I used to—but I have to be careful. They have nearly lynched teachers for less unusual things.
Using bathrooms at work isn't too bad. I make sure to always use the stall in the men's room and try to go when no one else is there. Sometimes I avoid using the bathroom altogether when the school or other public places are too crowded or feel threatening.
Overnight trips cause more anxiety. We took the kids to the woods for a couple of nights last year and I came out of the shower with my towel around my waist. The teacher I was sharing a room with asked about the scars emerging from under my arms. I told him I had surgery on my lymph nodes and he didn't inquire further.
Every once in a while another teacher flirts with me or asks me out. I usually tell her that I don't date women at work, even though I might be interested. I'm afraid of being found out. I find myself single more often than I'd like, but I have two decades left to teach before retirement; a single slip of the tongue could leave me jobless and banned from the city system.
I'm generally attracted to sporty girls, and most of my exes have been self-identified lesbians. I don't have a problem telling the other guys at work that I like tomboys, and when I do have a girlfriend, I bring her to school functions. Nobody thinks anything of it. They just see a guy with a girl, no trouble.
One day last semester, a student came up to me to ask what a transsexual was. My heart leaped into my throat; I thought I'd been discovered. Kids are very sharp, and sometimes they catch on to things that adults refuse to examine. Thankfully, this was just an inquisitive kid, curious about life or something he saw on TV. I was especially scared of being outed before I got tenure, and now that I have it I am still somewhat worried. I think parents especially are judgmental and would come after me with all they've got if my biological identity were revealed. What upsets me most, though, is the discrimination from inside the lesbian community. I have been kicked out of a lesbian bar, turned away from a lesbian softball team and turned down on dates from women who think I'm too male to be allowed in their circles.
As told to Michael Freidson, Allison Hope, Kate Lowenstein and Lauren Shopp

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Human Rights Watch says migrant workers building a prominent cultural complex that includes branches of the Louvre and the Guggenheim museums in the United Arab Emirates continue to face exploitation despite government reforms.
The New York-based rights group's report Tuesday acknowledged "positive steps" by Emirati authorities, including changes to a visa sponsorship system that links workers to their employers and the implementation of guidelines intended to improve working conditions.
The group says abuses it documented in two previous reports on Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island project nonetheless continue, though it is not possible to determine how widespread they are because of restrictions from Emirati authorities.
Some employees at the Saadiyat Island site in Abu Dhabi, which will also be home to a campus of New York University, are withholding wages, confiscating workers' passports, and housing them in substandard accommodation, HRW said.
Several hundred workers who went on strike at the site were arbitrarily deported, the New York-based rights group said.
Human Rights Watch urged the Louvre and Guggenheim museums Tuesday to pressure the United Arab Emirates to end worker abuse on the project hosting branches of the institutions.
"NYU, the Louvre, and the Guggenheim should surely understand by now that they can't blindly accept the UAE authorities' assurances that workers' rights are being respected," said HRW's Sarah Leah Whitson.
"They need to exert their influence much more forcefully and demand much more in return for their presence on Saadiyat Island."
The government-backed Tourism Development and Investment Company behind the project rejected the report's "unfounded conclusions," calling them "outdated and based on unknown methodologies."

Cat Power
In only a few years, Chan Marshall has recorded several albums, collected an impressive retinue of admirers ranging from Nylon to the New Yorker, and become a magnet for both critical adoration and the uncritical wet dreams of indie boys and girls. Performing as Cat Power, she's a starry-eyed shaman who sings with near-feral frankness about childhood horrors, existential anxiety, emancipation from the doldrums of ordinary life and, of course, sweet romance. Her guileless honesty emerges not only in her songs but also in her off-kilter live shows, in which she's been known to indulge in unpredictable crying bouts and flights from the stage. And her reluctance to acknowledge her own power makes her all the more appealing.
Marshall's roughly hewn songs are more awkward than the average rock fan is prepared to deal with—like Tori Amos, one could call her lyrics either staggeringly complex or numbly simple, such as in the song "Free" (a track from most recent album You Are Free), a haunting recounting of Marshall's grade-school friends and the abuses they experienced. It's like fellow southerner William Faulkner's boy protagonist Ike McCaslin, who coolly documents the various social misdeeds of his family, only to later pounce on them unexpectedly; Marshall's detached expositions of tragedies and triumphs curl gently but firmly around the listener's neck.
But still, she's got a one-two punch of accessibility and inspiration—like Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, Marshall has entered the realm of Amazon-sold popular music with completely challenging records that keep her too mobile for any specific niche. Guesting on Handsome Boy Modeling School's newest and most hilariously sexy album, White People, Marshall delivered "I've Been Thinking," easily the hottest track of the lot. Last October, the much-anticipated live Cat Power DVD Speaking for Trees was released; in typical Chan Marshall fashion, it's one uninterrupted shot of Cat Power singing and playing electric guitar in the woods. But despite the bizarre elements of past live shows, Marshall's performances are musically illuminating; what she lacks in instrumentation she compensates for with a melancholy voice and her own inborn sensibility, which despite everything is still that of someone who scoots around in the sun-warmed Georgia dirt.
Cat Power with Richard Swift at Detroit Bar, 843 W. 19th St., Costa Mesa, (949) 642-0600; www.detroitbar.com. Tues., 9 p.m. $12. 21+.

Have you shopped for hot dogs recently? There are so many options to choose from in the grocery store aisle — no matter what kind of dog you're craving, there's a hot dog out there for you.
We set up a hot dog taste test to determine the who, where, and why of hot dog buying for all your summer hot dog consumption conundrums.
How We Choose the Brands
The Kitchn team selected a variety of well-known national brands of hot dogs that could be found at grocery stores across the country. Brands were selected from three national grocery chains and purchased in the metro Atlanta area.
How We Set Up the Test Taste
I invited a group of tasters that included my in-laws (in their 60s), friends, and my young nieces and nephews (all under 10) over for a "hot dog party." I warmed two of each variety on a baking sheet in the oven, cut these samples into bite-sized pieces, and conducted a blind tasting. Testers noted their favorites and any dislikes.
We then tested two of each hot dog variety on a charcoal grill. The grill test was an important indicator of a hot dog's quality. Spoiler: Some brands did not pass the grill test.
Our Recommendations
Most Like a Ball Park: Nathan's Famous Beef Frankfurters
Tasters praised Nathan's for its "beefy flavor" and "snappy texture." These dogs plumped beautifully on the grill and were incredibly juicy. They also fit a bun perfectly.
Best for a Crowd: Ball Park Franks
Ball Park franks come eight to a package and were adored for their meaty flavor and classic texture. Not quite as juicy as Nathan's, but these franks also grilled well. Ball Park franks were just shorter than the hot dog bun, but not by much.
Best '90s Nostalgia: Oscar Meyer Cheese Dogs
The well-loved hot dog of my youth, filled with creamy cheese product. This was a hit with all the kid tasters. My 9-year-old niece, who swears she just doesn't like hot dogs, actually enjoyed eating these. Bonus: These dogs come 10 to a resealable package.
Best Bun-Sized: Sabrett's Beef Franks
Sabrett's is a well-loved New York hot dog with a cult following. I was surprised to see it at the market in Atlanta. Some research suggests that Sabrett's only sells their hot dogs with casing to select New York hot dog vendors, so we tasted only the skinless. These dogs scored high in juicy, beefy flavor, but lacked the snappy texture loved by tasters. These dogs didn't score well in the grill category.
Best for Grilling: Hebrew National Beef Franks
These dogs were also noted for their beefy taste and nice snap, but the big surprise was how well they performed on the grill. They plumped without bursting and had beautiful grill marks with just two minutes on each side. They also fit well in the buns, even though they're not marketed as bun-sized.
Best Smoked: Ball Park's Ball Park Finest
These skinny dogs were incredibly beefy and flavorful, although one taster noted they were more like a smoked sausage than a hot dog (hot dogs are a type of sausage, however). These dogs were narrower than most and didn't quite fill out a hot dog bun from side to side.
Best Uncured Beef: Applegate Natural Uncured Beef
These dogs were almost indistinguishable from the Ball Park franks; they were beefy, juicy, and performed well on the grill. They are more expensive than most of the other brands, but they're a great choice if keeping nitrates out of your food is your thing.
Best Beef Alternative: Trader Joe's Uncured Turkey
These turkey hot dogs have quite a cult following, although I did not tell tasters there was a turkey (and vegan) variety in the mix. Tasters enjoyed the soft flavor and texture of these long hot dogs. These didn't grill up as well as their beefy counterparts.
Honorable Mention: Lightlife Veggie Hot Dogs
Its almost unfair to taste veggie hot dogs against their meaty, beefy relatives, but we did anyway. I didn't acknowledge that there was a veggie dog included in the test to tasters, but most avoided this dog based on color and shape. My mother-in-law noted that it tasted like a hot dog, but with a much softer texture. This hot dog alternative did grill and fill up a bun nicely.
What's your favorite hot dog? Do you have a regional favorite we should try?

Boosie Shocked By Daughter's Vulgar IG Speech!
Lil Boosie spoke to All Hip Hop about his daughter cussing up a storm on his IG page.
He's not angry with her for the language used but understands that she was releasing pent up frustrations from people in school discouraging her from thinking that her father would return home.
"I was too happy to fuss. You know, after that I told her I didn't want her saying the word. But, she was one of those that went through 'your daddy ain't coming home', 'Yo daddy this' in schools and such. So, I think it was just -when I called her and told her I was coming home, I think it was all the stuff she went through coming out. I didn't know she had it in her."

See the Lechers Crawl with the Call-Girls Under the Table
Hands played on the table,
And a hand splayed on her chest.
A poker face but for a price;
Your chips stack higher than the rest.
See the lechers with the call girls,
Crouching under tables.
Prolonged leers and stretching wallets;
Dirty urban fables.
Cards are called and faces pale,
Groping for a matching pair.
Breaths are ragged, kisses rough;
Groping at her underwear.
Failing, flummoxed, folding;
Your matches are unyielding.
Gasping, orthodox, skin-crawling;
An ending without feeling.

The Inside Scoop
The First Look
At the Paniolo Ranch in Boerne, Texas, weddings are larger than life. With the Texas Hill Country extending in every direction, a casual and relaxed wedding day awaits you. The unique and eclectic style of the Paniolo Ranch lends itself ideally to free-spirited couples who want nothing short of extraordinary for their country wedding. With both indoor and outdoor accommodations available for a capacity of up to 300 on the entire ranch, you have a wide array of event options as you plan your wedding.
Ceremony Site. The ceremony site at Paniolo Ranch takes your breath away with its ethereal beauty. A stone altar and stone pews create an outdoor sanctuary, from which you look out for miles to enjoy the rugged scenery. A stone fountain is also in place behind the pews.
Reception Hall. The country barn on the premises opens its doors wide to welcome your event. The upscale decor inside the barn lends itself easily to virtually any wedding style. You may also spill out from the barn onto a massive patio, which is surrounded by views of the grounds.
What You Should Know
Weddings at the Paniolo Ranch are unforgettable. The events team understands that every couple is unique and so the team has created various packages to provide a variety of service levels.
The "I Did It May Way" package is designed to give you the venue of your dreams for 12 hours between noon and midnight on your wedding day. With the flexibility to hire your own vendors for catering, flowers, photography and more, you have use of all venue sites on the premises. You also have use of luxurious dressing rooms for both the bride and groom. The venue provides tables and chiavari chairs to seat up to 260 guests, as well as rectangular tables for the reception.

On-site parking is provided for your guests and a manager is on duty throughout your event. You also receive a two-hour engagement photo session.
The "Sweetest Nuptials" package is a four-hour all-inclusive creation designed by the events team. This package includes the outdoor ceremony site for a morning or afternoon event. The venue provides you with an officiant for the ceremony, the bride's bouquet, the groom's boutonniere and use of the surround-sound system. After the ceremony, a cocktail reception follows that includes buffet tables covered with linens and floral arrangements. The team serves a champagne toast, non-alcoholic beverages, cheese and fruit platters, pastries and appetizers and the wedding cake. The base guest count for this package is 15, but you are able to add additional guests for an extra fee.
A special destination-style wedding package is also available. This package includes overnight accommodations for up to 26 guests in the separate guest houses located on the premises. The team assists you with your rehearsal and dinner for 35 on the first night in the main house. Guests receive a breakfast in their private houses and everyone enjoys swimming and hiking on the property the next day.

Perfect Hill Country Wedding! My husband and I got married 10/29/2016. Being from the hill country we wanted something that reminded us of home and Paniolo Ranch was the perfect spot. The grounds are beautiful with lush flowers and greenery. Paniolo Ranch is a hidden gem. Guests... Read More were asking how did we find this place?!? and how much they loved the overlook and scenery. The grounds make for beautiful pictures with the waterfountain, the fire bowls, the lights... everything was perfect. The Bridal & Groom suite were great to get ready in. The Bridal suite is decorated so nice and really treat to get primped and ready in. Lots of room and really beautiful views also. Everything was taken care of by the wonderful staff. Judy and her team were so kind and helpful during our wedding journey and it such a memorable experience for us. Paniolo Ranch is perfect for ceremony and reception. We loved our experience! Thank you Judy and all at Paniolo Ranch for making our wedding the BEST DAY EVER!
It was our pleasure to get to serve you for your big day. Thank you for your kind review. We hope to see both of you at our B&B for some Romantic couples spa days. Think of us when your anniversary rolls around....we will be... Read Less Read More
Paniolo Ranch is by far the best place to get married in the state of Texas. Judy, Kathy and the rest of the staff were so accommodating with everything! My fiancé called a few months back with interests in getting married at the ranch. They were so informative about everything... Read More that was offered in the package. We decided this would be the perfect place for us to get married because we were looking for something small and intimate for just the two of us. Leading up to the big day, I really appreciated the fact that they followed up with us to ensure that everything was still on schedule and so that everything would flow as smoothly as possible. So, the big day arrived and the morning started off with some unexpected problems. Kathy called to ensure everything was still on schedule. I explained to her that we were running a little behind schedule and wouldn't make it by the time we agreed on. They were so understanding and adjusted accordingly. I would totally recommend this beautiful ranch to anyone looking to have someone take care of the stressors of getting married. My fiancé and I literally showed up and got married. Everything else was taken care of by the outstanding staff and Paniolo Ranch.
It was our pleasure to serve you. Thank you for your kind review. We really enjoyed you allowing us to be a small part of your big day. We hope to see you at our B&B for your anniversaries and get away weekends.
My husband and I were married at Paniolo Ranch the first week of June 2016. We did the Bells and Banquets package deal which included everything but my dress, his tux, the D.J. and our photographer. They did the flowers, the bouquets, set up, clean up, EVERYTHING. We also... Read More added the Aloha package, which included accommodations for our family and wedding party. It was the most amazing weekend. Judy and her team made every effort to make sure everything was done to out liking. As part of the Aloha package, she included our rehearsal dinner which was fabulous. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff were amazing. They took care of everything, we just showed up and enjoyed ourselves. It was five star all the way. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The team at Paniolo did an amazing job making sure everything we asked for was done and done beautifully. Our package included flowers, appetizers during the cocktail hour, catering, all the linens, tableware and glassware, bartenders and wait staff. My husband and our families were able to enjoy ourselves and relax because Paniolo took care of everything. The lights, the scenery and the amazing staff made it a night to remember. Paniolo is an incredibly beautiful property. Our wedding photos are amazing. The grounds are very well kept and make for wonderful photos. For what you get and the quality of the venue and service it absolutely a great deal. I would highly recommend choosing them for your big day or event. Therese Mellgren
Thank you so much Therese!! We loved your wedding and all the amazing props you brought in from your company Stage Works. We look forward to seeing you for your anniversary. Have a blessed day!
We were so glad we chose Paniolo Ranch for our big day! Judy and her staff exceeded our expectations. The Lover's Only package was perfect for us- the flowers, the dinner, the room, the massages were all wonderful. Being in the beautiful Texas Hill Country was breathtaking and... Read More Paniolo Ranch was the perfect place to exchange our vows and start our lives together! Our only regret was not being able to spend more time, but we look forward to going back soon. Thank you Judy and Paniolo Ranch for helping us have the perfect start to our forever! The Wassons
My husband and I were married here on Sunday April 9th 2017. We did the Eat, Sleep, and be Married package. I am AMAZED. First off, the venue was absolutely beautiful. We live 4 hours away and my family came in from out of state, and my husbands from San Antonio, so... Read More planning was pretty stressful as it came out to be more of a 'destination wedding'. Judy and her team were more than helpful. I sent what I wanted and they made it happen--my GORGEOUS flowers, the centerpieces (which were slivers of wood cut from their very own ranch), our rooms, the bartender (hired through the ranch), our food (BBQ was perfect), the cake (also decorated and ordered through the ranch), just every single detail was more than I could have ever imagined. Judy really made us feel like we were more than just another wedding, we were welcomed into her home for breakfasts with our families, and they helped us be comfortable in every way they could. I really had a lot of expectations to feel like a princess on my wedding day, and it happened. Thank you so much to the team for making my dreams come true!
Thank you so much for your raving compliments! We really enjoyed being a part of your wedding day, it was such a laid-back, fun-loving group. We hope to see you again for your anniversary!!!
absolutely amazing!Had such a great time at this venue and they made sure everything for the wedding was perfect. We stayed a day or so after and the housing accommodations are also amazing! I would definitely recommend this venue
Great venue and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We hope to see you again.
We attended a wedding at Panilio Ranch. The venue was beautiful. We stayed on property. Our room was very nice and clean. I would definitely recommend this place and would like to take the family again
We appreciate your nice comments and truly hope you will bring the family back for a stay.
I got married at Paniolo Ranch on 10/1/16. We fell in love with this venue after looking at tons of pictures online. We actually didn't see the venue in person before booking it. (We saw it for the first time on our wedding day!) I had a lot of conversations with Judy (the... Read More venue owner) and had my MOH tour it, since she lives in TX. She loved it, so we booked it. Still…I had so many reservations and spent a lot of time worrying about this, since I was leaving so much in their hands. Luckily all of my worries were COMPLETELY unnecessary. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Of course, the venue itself is absolutely perfect. It's breathtaking, serene, and has stunning views. The landscaping is impeccable. We went with a "modified" Aloha Package - the venue was kind enough to work with us since we had such a small group. As part of the package, they provided the reception dinner and a hosted breakfast the next morning. Both were delicious and the service was great. They even kindly accommodated some last minute dietary preferences. All of our guests stayed in the on-site rooms and they were all very happy with their accommodations. All of the rooms were luxurious and well maintained - a couple of the guesthouses even had hot tubs! The Paniolo staff constantly checked in and made sure to take care of our every need. Everyone that works there is awesome and SO on top of it - they thought of things I missed, pretty much took care of all of the decor (with only vague instructions from me), and kept us stress-free and on time the day of. Basically, it's the staff that really makes this place as wonderful as it is. A HUGE thank you to Judy and C'Ne...you helped to make our wedding day perfect in every way.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing review. You have made our work a labor of love. We are so happy that your day was special and that you were happy with the Paniolo and staff. We wish you... Read Less Read More

I just got married at Paniolo Ranch 10/22/16 and wanted to make sure to write this review while it was still fresh in my mind!! I may be partial, but I truly believe Paniolo is the prettiest venue in the Hill Country. Judy and C'ne came through and helped create the most...

Thank you so much for your review. It was an honor to be a part of your wedding day!
My wedding was held at the Paniolo Ranch at the end of this summer and it was amazing! The property is set in the heart of the beautiful hill country with spectacular views. The gardens and grounds are perfectly maintained and very gorgeous. We had an evening outdoor service... Read More during sunset with our family and guests witnessing this special moment while sitting on the rock pews overlooking the expansive hill country views. Then cocktail hour began on the very spacious rock patio and gardens during the moon rise, which lit up the night sky and reflected over the lake. The dinner and reception were held at the indoor venue with the large open doors opened to the night breeze set up on the hill with again, perfect views and in the distance down the hill, large oak trees were lit up with lights. It was magical.... The décor inside the venue was also spectacular with lights shining down on the centerpiece of each table. There is a stage for the live band and the sound and acoustics were amazing! The bridal suite and bedroom was very spacious and again, designed with perfection and five star class! The owners and staff of Paniolo Ranch were very accommodating, professional, gracious, and did everything possible to make this event so special for us. Kudos to Paniolo Ranch! Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect... I highly recommend this wedding venue.....
Thank you for your wonderful review.
Wonderful settong. Abundant amenities. Phenomenal food. Judy and C'ne work hard to provde you the best experienc.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!!
Very beautiful area, houses, and friendly people. It was very peaceful and the people here helped the wedding go off smoothly.
Thank you for writing a review!
We attended a getaway weekend wedding here and it was superb. The cabins were great, some with full kitchens that we used to prepare our own meals for a full group. The wedding facilities are very pretty and there are different options for the size of your service. Over all... Read More beautiful spot that's at least 30 minutes from anything so it's peaceful too.
Thank you for your review! We really enjoyed being a part of your event and visiting with everyone in your group.
We eloped here over the weekend and it was wonderful! I highly recommend this location for weddings and quiet, relaxing getaways. We can't wait to come back! Addie and Jason Simmons
Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day. We look forward to seeing you for your anniversary!
I attended a party at Paniolo recently and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The grounds, overlooking a lake, are gorgeous. Covered with oaks and other native Texas species, it was nice to just wander around. The party room was beautifully decorated and the band sounded great. There... Read More were activities scattered about for entertainment, even stuff for the kids to do. I highly recommend Paniolo Ranch for any party or reception. Truly excellent.
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your day!
The wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous and so unique! It is much more glamorous than many of the other ranch venues in Boerne and air conditioning was a must for me. My husband and I loved our wedding and received many compliments on the venue!
Thank you for taking time to give us a review! We look forward to seeing you, hopefully, in the future!!
What a wonderful setting for our most memorable occasion. Everything was great. Thanks to all the staff and owners. AWaller
Thank you so much for taking the time to send us a review letting us know you were happy and your wedding was a great success. A happy Bride is the best payback we can hope for.

Thank you for trusting us to host your wedding. You have made our day with your glowing review. Best wishes for a very long and enduring marriage and we hope to see you on your anniversary.
Absolutely beautiful venue. Lots of little intimate spots for great photo ops. The bed and breakfast side is well kept and convenient for your wedding.

Bring your boat and enjoy spending time on the crystal clear waters swimming, fishing, water skiing or just cruising around. (Boat dock included with rental.) Nice quiet location and gorgeous views from the large deck to enjoy your morning coffee and family cookouts. We highly encourage repeat guests.
This was the house I grew up in and threw out the years it became our vacation getaway. I currently live in Hornell NY and spend alot of my time being extremly busy with my job during the summer months. I hope anyone that chooses to spend time at the house leaves as relaxed as it leaves me.
Carolyn's Cottage is named after my mom, who I loved very much. I have such great memories of spending hours on a porch swing with her just rocking and enjoying the sights and sounds. I hope anyone that visits our home takes away great memories of their own.
We spent three days here in late September. Erin could not have been more helpful or accommodating on our stay. The house is lovely, and very well equipped. We usually stay in rustic cabins in the southern end of the lake, so we overpacked in terms of kitchen accessories. All you really need to bring are clothes and food. This was our first stay on the northern end of the lake. It's very quiet and peaceful - great for a long weekend away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended.
We spent four days at this lakeside house and had a wonderful time. The house is well equipped, clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the large deck enjoying the view or dockside fishing. It is a very quiet and peaceful location and a great place to unwind. Thanks to Erin for being responsive to calls and questions....made the whole rental process easy and stress free! Recommended!
What a quiet, lovely cottage on Lake George. All was ready for us when we arrived, so neat and tidy along with a bottle of wine. Great deck overlooking the lake with afternoon shade which our dog loved! Kayaked 6 times on nice quiet north end of the lake. Enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to next year! Thank you Erin and Ann. Dan, Noel, Danielle and Joe.
Great Lake house! Very clean and comfortable, deck and dock very nice.
Large outdoor area and fire pit. I would recommend renting a boat for a day, as lake is little swallow for swimming. Would recommend it!
We loved it here! The area is absolutely beautiful. The house was clean and well maintained. We stayed a week in August, and found it to be very quiet and peaceful. We brought along kayaks and rented a boat at Snug Harbor Marina ( right around the corner ) for a few days. This allowed us to really take in the sights. Great stay!!
If you are looking for a lovely, quiet, private spot, this was it. The house was clean and attractive with all the amenities. The back deck with a porch swing was a perfect place to hang out with the family. The lake front view is stunning with a lovely dock. My dog thoroughly enjoyed jumping from the dock to fetch her toy. There is a fire pit with wood to toast s'mores and hang out watching the sunset. The only drawback is the lake has long weeds and a murky bottom when swimming. The close proximity to Scroon Lake and Lake George was perfect.
55 Sagamore Dr. Ticonderoga NY.....Historical Fort Ticonderoga is only a few miles from the house along with a ferry crossing that takes you into Vermont. Lake George Village is about a 35 minute drive with beautiful views. Once in Lake George Village there are tons of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Six Flags amusement park, water park, miniature golfing, restaurants, shopping, and so much more.

PEHIN Datu Pekerma Jaya Major General Dato Paduka Seri Mohd Tawih bin Abdullah, Commander of Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF), attended the inaugural of South and Southeast Asian Nations (SASEAN) Defence Chiefs' Dialogue 2014 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to discuss regional peace and security.
The SASEAN forum was a conclave of Defence Chiefs held from November 27-29 hosted by Sri Lanka at the Kingsbury Hotel.
As part of the SASEAN programme, the Commander of RBAF chaired one of the dialogues in SASEAN 2014 with three other heads of the SASEAN delegations – India, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
The first session of the SASEAN Defence Chiefs' Dialogue focused on promoting regional peace and stability through dialogue and cooperation in the spheres of defence and security, promoting mutual trust and confidence through greater understanding of defence and security challenges as well as contributing to the establishment of a SASEAN Security Community.
The theme for the SASEAN Defence Chiefs' Dialogue 2014 was 'Promoting Security Through Dialogue and Cooperation'. This is expected to reinforce the vision of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA).
The demographic and economic dynamics, particularly in South and Southeast Asia, are in rapid transition, propelling the region into geopolitical prominence. Asia will be the most populous region in the world by 2050. It will be complemented by a youth bulge which will have an exponential impact on security and stability in the region.
The rapid growth in the Asian economies will also regenerate the expansion of trade and transfer of resources in and out of the region. This resurgence will exert a pull on the geo-strategic interests of extra regional powers.
At the sidelines of the dialogue, the Commander of RBAF held bilateral courtesy meetings with four Heads of the SASEAN delegations from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India.

Voices of:
"Attack of the Alligators!" is the 23rd episode of Thunderbirds, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. One of the final episodes of Series One, it was written by Alan Pattillo and directed by David Lane, and was first broadcast on ATV Midlands on 10 March 1966. In this episode, set in South America, alligators grow to an enormous size after a swamp is contaminated by a newly invented growth chemical. When the animals proceed to attack a house, International Rescue must save the occupants trapped inside.
Combining science-fiction and haunted house horror themes, with a plot written to be "nightmarish", the episode was filmed in late 1965. It is remembered for containing footage of actual crocodiles, doubling as re-sized alligators on scale model sets – the first appearance of live animals in an Anderson production.[2] However, the animals' slowness and unpredictability complicated and delayed the filming, which involved the use of electric shocks to induce movement from the crocodiles. Although the AP Films Studios were briefly investigated by the RSPCA, animal abuse allegations were not upheld.
A critic and fan favourite, despite the controversy of its production, "Attack of the Alligators" is commonly ranked as one of the best episodes of Thunderbirds.[3][4] Since the filming of this episode and a later instalment, "The Cham-Cham", went over-time and over-budget, the series finale was re-written as a clip show to lower costs and simplify the shooting schedule. Ten years after first airing, "Attack of the Alligators!" provided the inspiration for an episode of The New Avengers, by ex-Thunderbirds scriptwriter Dennis Spooner.
A businessman, Blackmer, visits the reclusive Dr Orchard, a scientist who lives in a remote house on the Ambro River in South America. From the local plant Sidonicus americanus, Orchard has developed a food additive called Theramine; if administered to animals, the chemical causes them to grow beyond their original size. Enlargement of animal stock would offer a simple solution to world famine and present other economic advantages. Blackmer's boatman, Culp, eavesdrops on the meeting. After a storm forces Blackmer to stay at the house for the night, Culp resolves to steal the Theramine and sell it to the highest bidder. Waiting until the other occupants fall asleep, he steals the keys to Orchard's laboratory from the housekeeper, Mrs Files. While filling a vial with a quantity of the chemical, Culp accidentally knocks the rest of the supply into a sink, and the Theramine drains into the Ambro River.
Shortly after Blackmer and Culp depart the next morning, their boat is attacked by an alligator, now enlarged because of the contamination. Orchard's assistant, Hector McGill, manages to rescue Blackmer, but Culp is believed killed. The house is quickly surrounded by three giant alligators, which throw themselves at the building with Orchard, McGill, Blackmer and Mrs Files trapped inside. On the advice of Mrs Files, McGill contacts International Rescue and John (voiced by Ray Barrett) alerts Tracy Island. Jeff (Peter Dyneley) dispatches Thunderbirds 1 and 2. Arriving at the scene, Scott (Shane Rimmer) briefly dispels the reptiles with his hoverjet cannon and accesses the house through the laboratory window. Eventually the laboratory caves in, forcing Scott and the others to move to the lounge. There, the group is confronted by none other than Culp, who survived the alligator attack and holds them at gunpoint.
Virgil (David Holliday) arrives in Thunderbird 2 and scatters the alligators with aircraft's vertical landing jets. Alan (Matt Zimmerman) and Gordon (David Graham) subdue two of the animals with heavy-duty tranquiliser guns. When the third returns to the house, Alan exits Thunderbird 2 on a hoverjet to lure the alligator away. He collides with a tree and falls from the hoverjet, but is saved by Gordon, who shoots the oncoming alligator before it can attack Alan. Culp threatens to empty the whole Theramine vial into the Ambro River unless he is granted safe passage upstream. Launching Thunderbird 4, Gordon encounters a fourth, far larger reptile that ravages Blackmer's boat and stops Culp. Virgil disposes of the creature with a missile fired from Thunderbird 2. Although it is feared at first that the vial has been smashed, Gordon retrieves it from the riverbed intact. Later, on Tracy Island, Jeff announces that Theramine will be subject to international security restrictions, and Culp will be going to jail. Tin-Tin (Christine Finn) has been away on a shopping trip and has bought Alan a present for his upcoming birthday – a pygmy alligator.
Inspiration for "Attack of the Alligators!" was derived partly from H. G. Wells' 1904 novel The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, in which animal re-sizing is a major theme.[5] Another source was the 1927 film The Cat and the Canary and its 1939 re-make,[6][7][8] both of which feature haunted house premises and stalkers. Scriptwriter Alan Pattillo, who according to special effects director Derek Meddings "had tried to come up with the most nightmarish rescue situation he could",[9] wanted to direct the episode as well; the position was ultimately given to David Lane.[10] "Attack of the Alligators!" was filmed in October and November 1965,[11] overrunning its one-month shooting window and forcing the production staff to work overtime, and sometimes long into the night, to complete the recording.[10] Ian Wingrove, a special effects technician for AP Films, remembers that the episode's complex technical aspects resulted in the crew "[working] day and night ... through a weekend".[12]
Although it was series co-creator and producer Gerry Anderson's original plan to film with actual alligators,[13] AP Films instead acquired a group of juvenile crocodiles from a private zoo in northern England;[14] these would double as re-sized alligators on scale model sets and water tanks.[6] With the exception of a five-foot (1.5 m) specimen, which was too aggressive to be removed from its box, the animals were three feet (0.91 m) long.[14] The crew kept the on-set water tanks heated to a suitably warm temperature and used electric shocks to induce movement from the reptiles.[6] They were unpredictable and very difficult to control and film, either bathing in the heat of the studio lights or disappearing into the tanks and remaining submerged for hours.[9][12][15] To make the crocodiles more visible to the cameras, the crew fixed them to guiding rods and co-ordinated their movements.[12] The heavy presence of the animals in both puppet and scale model shots resulted in a closer-than-normal degree of collaboration between the puppet and effects crews.[10]
Objecting on animal welfare grounds, effects director Brian Johnson was one of several crewmembers who refused to participate in the production.[6] Camera operator Alan Perry has no memory of ill treatment; series supervising director Desmond Saunders, however, recalls that more than one crocodile died of pneumonia after being left overnight in an un-heated tank.[16] Director David Elliott, though filming a different episode at the time, remembers that another dislocated a limb after receiving an unexpected jolt from a shocker.[16] Puppet operator Christine Glanville admitted that the filming could not have been a pleasant experience for the "guest stars", since the tanks were "filled with all sorts of dirty paint water, oil and soapy water to make it look swampy."[14] Saunders comments: "It was scandalous. It was one of the great episodes. Nevertheless there was a price to be paid for it."[16]
I got a call from the operator to say that an RSPCA man had turned up ... He said, 'It's been reported that your boys are giving them electric shocks,' and I said, 'Well, I didn't know that, but let's go on to the stage and have a look.' So we went on to the stage and he was very, very grave and terribly concerned, but then he saw one of the puppets and he said, 'You're not filming Thunderbirds are you? Oh, God, that's my favourite programme.' ... He ended up taking his annual leave and coming to the studio to work for us, and he was personally giving the crocodiles electric shocks.
Concerns over the animals' safety prompted an anonymous telephone call to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), which dispatched a representative.[9][16] Initial tests with shocking had yielded disappointing results, necessitating an increase in voltage.[16] According to Anderson, "Meddings explained that his team were laying the crocodiles down and they weren't doing anything. They were just lying there. The RSPCA man said, well, they would, because of the warmth of the lamps. So Derek said, 'We've been giving them a touch with an electrode just to make them move.' The guy asked what voltage they were using and Derek said it was about 20 volts, and the guy said, 'Oh, they've got terribly thick skins, you know. If you want them to move, you'll have to pump it up to 60.'"[13] Following an initial investigation of AP Films Studios, the allegations of mistreatment were not pursued further;[13] the RSPCA officer later joined the crocodiles' handler in assisting with the filming.[9]
Filming involving the reptiles frequently proved to be hazardous. During a promotional shoot with Supermarionation puppets, one of the crocodiles suddenly grabbed the Lady Penelope marionette (which does not appear in the episode) and, to the upset of Glanville, ripped apart one the legs.[12][14][16][17] During the filming of a scene in which an alligator swims after a boat, Meddings was using a rope to guide the crocodile forwards when it was discovered that the animal had slipped out of its harness;[8][14][16][18] in his book, 21st–Century Visions, Meddings wrote of the incident: "My crew never saw me move as fast as I did to get out of the tank when I pulled the rope and realised the creature was free."[9] Of the largest crocodile, which was wetted with damp strips at the back of the stage while un-used, Wingrove recalls: "You would forget that it was there, then one day someone shouted 'Look out!' and we turned round to see this big crocodile walking across the stage – which cleared of people very quickly!"[12]
"Attack of the Alligators!" achieved ratings of 4.78 million viewers for its BBC Two network broadcast on 20 March 1992. The BBC repeated Thunderbirds in 2000, a year known for a number of major rail accidents in the UK (notably the Hatfield rail crash; others occurred in Tisbury, Wiltshire and Hither Green, Lewisham, London). Consequently, it was decided to delay the transmission of the episodes "The Perils of Penelope" and "Brink of Disaster" (both of which feature disasters involving trains) until the end of the broadcast schedule. "Attack of the Alligators!" substituted for "Brink of Disaster", and was the 11th episode to be repeated on BBC Two.
"Attack of the Alligators!", a popular instalment, is widely considered to be one of the best episodes of Thunderbirds.[19][20][21][22] It is series co-creator Sylvia Anderson's favourite episode,[23] while commentator Stephen La Rivière judges the plot to be one of the most unusual of the series.[5] Lew Grade, head of distributor ITC, expressed high satisfaction with the filming during a visit to AP Films Studios in 1965.[14]
It was the one episode that gave us so much trouble. We had to work night and day ... We had a lot of fun, but it was a lot of heartache trying to get [the crocodiles] to do what you wanted them to do.
In 2004, "Attack of the Alligators!" was re-issued on Region 1 DVD as part of A&E Video's The Best of Thunderbirds: The Favorite Episodes, whose content was selected based on the results of a fan poll hosted on the A&E website.[3] In a review for the website DVD Verdict, David Gutierrez awarded "Attack of the Alligators!" a perfect score of 100, judging it the best of the collection and praising its production values: "It's like a beautifully directed short film".[3] He elaborated: "'Attack of the Alligators!' serves as a terrific example of how strong Thunderbirds can look. It's not Howdy Doody sporting a jetpack – it's an hour-long programme that feels like a motion picture."[3]
Susanna Lazarus of Radio Times argues that the episode is memorable specifically for the alligator footage.[24] The techniques used to produce the animal sequences have resulted in the episode being considered "controversial" by some sources.[4] Mark Pickavance of the website Den of Geek is critical from a visual standpoint, suggesting that the use of scale sets and young crocodiles, "shot in super close-up to make them seem huge", does not produce a convincing illusion of giant, re-sized alligators.[1] Author Dave Thompson relates the giant reptile plot to Swamp Thing, a hybrid superorganism featured in the DC Comics Universe.[25]
Since "Attack of the Alligators!" and "The Cham-Cham" exceeded their allotted budgets, the scriptwriters re-wrote the Series One finale to be a clip show, "Security Hazard".[26] A shot of a stormy sky, present at the start of the episode, later introduced the opening titles of the TV series The Prisoner.[2] In 1976, Thunderbirds writer Dennis Spooner adapted the premise of "Attack of the Alligators!" for an episode of The New Avengers; the episode "Gnaws" features a wild rat, which grows to an enormous size after drinking from a water source contaminated by a dangerous chemical.[2]

Switch to relay wire diagram
Hey guys and gals, Im in the process of trying to wire a light bar to my TJ and have never done a wire job for this:surrender:. I am wanting to add a switch to the inside of my Jeep so that I can turn it on and off when ever I want. I have tried to find diagrams on Google but have not found anything that really showed much.
I was told that I have to run a relay for this kind of job, have a sorta idea of what I need to do but does anyone have a diagram that they can post here of anyone have any advice?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!!:thumb:
Ok, with that wire diagram do I have to run my power from the battery and fuse box or and I use either or?
Yea, you'd need two power leads, a low amperage relay trigger (from just about anywhere) and a primary cable (from a direct source) for the lights. Make sure your fuses/wires are appropriate for the lights amp draw.
How big (wattage and quantity) are the lights (or cumulative wattage of the bar)?
Good news everyone! If ya get a good enough switch, you don't have to run a relay.
120W on 12V draws 10A, something that is a stretch for 18ga wire but within tolerance of 16ga and certainly safe on 14ga, still a decently small wire. Cheap 15A switches, in my personal experience, will kerplode about a year in on a 10A circuit. I would get a 20A or fancy 15A switch if I wanted to avoid a relay, but you can go that route.
That said, personally I'd hook a 14ga wire to battery (or pdc) and run it fused to the 30 post, then from 87 post to the lights. Ground the lights (still 14ga). Then run a 20-22ga wire tapped from an available circuit (remember, we are talking well <1A on this wire) or battery/pdc (fused) and run it to the switch, then on to post 85. Ground the relay, post 86. Easy as Sunday mornin. Some parts stores (and amazon) sell relay harnesses that make it splice the wire, plug & play, as opposed to spade terminals on each wire. :)
