Fourth Quarter 2016 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As we all prepare to close the books on 2016, I want to reflect on some of the key initiatives I had the privilege to participate in which have positively impacted our State during this past year.
Alabama Veteran Owned Business Recognition
Alabama announced a new way of recognizing veteran owned businesses in our State with the distribution of display decals. Veterans in Alabama own about 25,000 small businesses. I was proud to join Governor Bentley, Congresswoman Martha Roby, General Larry Ross and Billy Cotter to make the announcement on Tuesday, January 19. The stickers are made available from the efforts of the Alabama Veterans Network (AlaVetNet), Military Stability Commission and the Alabama Small Business Commission.
2016 Legislative Session
A highlight of the 2016 Regular Legislative Session was Alabama's Education Trust Fund Budget (ETF), which passed with overwhelming support. The ETF totaled $6.3 billion and is 5.6% more than the current education budget. It is the largest ETF budget since 2008. The ETF budget included a pay raise for teachers - the first in nearly a decade - and includes increased funding for Pre-K, school-related transportation and classroom updates all while providing positions for 475 new teachers. On April 21st, I was honored to sign this historic ETF budget. I applaud all of the legislators who worked to see it come to fruition.
Governor's Trade Excellence Awards
Alabama exports are an engine for the State's growth and job creation. Exports from Alabama businesses create a 19.37 billion dollar industry in our State. I joined the Department of Commerce, including the Secretary of Commerce Greg Canfield, to award eight Alabama companies with a Governor's Trade Excellence Award for their productive exports out of our State. The awards were given to Life Data Labs, Inc. of Cherokee; Aker Solutions, Inc. of Mobile; GATR Technologies of Huntsville; Linden Lumber, LLC of Linden; MapuSoft Technologies of Mobile; MMI Outdoors, Inc. of Montgomery; Schreiber, LLC of Trussville; and TriVector Services, Inc. of Huntsville.
Alabama Aerospace Week
Aerospace in Alabama is a multi-billion-dollar industry that employs nearly 83,000 people at over 400 aerospace companies across our State. In March, the Aerospace Legislative Caucus hosted the Annual Aerospace Week and NASA Day. The Marshall Space Flight Center Director Todd May, NASA Astronaut Stephen Bowen and Congressman Mo Brooks came to educate legislators about Alabama's part in designing and crafting the new NASA Space Flight Center to prepare astronauts to make the first ever journey to the planet Mars.
The "Fort Payne Seven" Place in National Competition
The Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) is an annual competition for students in high school. RWDC gives students the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment. RWDC held their National Championship that included 27 teams from 26 states and one territory. This year's competition focused on unmanned systems and precision agriculture through the design and implementation of an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to support agricultural efforts like the targeted and efficient application of pesticide. RWDC is sponsored by the Aerospace States Association.
The fourth-year reigning Alabama RWDC champions, the "Fort Payne Seven", from Fort Payne High School in Fort Payne, Alabama, placed second in the national challenge out of 19 teams. This year's team members are: Reagan Anderson (Senior), Joshua Johnston (Senior), Emma Simpson (Junior), Hunter Terry (Senior), Hunter Vezertzis (Senior), Matthew Wilding (Senior), and Noah Wofford (Junior).
Alabama State Senator Steve Livingston recognized and honored the "Fort Payne Seven" for their exceptional achievement on the Senate Floor during the March 10th Legislative Session.
Tuskegee Airmen Celebrate 75th Anniversary
On March 22, 1941, the Tuskegee Airmen became the first group of African American fighter pilots and personnel to answer the call during World War II, despite racial inequity and poverty barriers. This year marks the 75th Anniversary to celebrate the National Heroes who changed the course of our State and Nation. Ten of the living Tuskegee Airmen were present to celebrate the commemorative occasion. I was proud to present a Senate Resolution with Alabama State Senator Billy Beasley honoring the Tuskegee Airmen to Brigadier General Leon Johnson, National President of the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.
DeMarcus Ware Recognized as Honorary Lieutenant Governor
DeMarcus Ware was recognized as an Honorary Lieutenant Governor during a Joint Legislative Session of the Alabama Legislature on April 19, 2016. Ware represents Alabama well as the most recent NFL Super Bowl Champion with the Denver Broncos where he starts on defense as an outside linebacker. Ware is a former Troy University football standout and a native of Auburn, Alabama.
Airbus First Delivery to Jet Blue Airways
In 2012, Airbus, one of the largest aircraft manufactures in the world, chose Brookley Field in Mobile, Alabama, to build an aircraft assembly line to produce the A320 family jetliner and employ up to 1,000 people. At full production, Airbus is expected to produce between 40 and 50 aircraft each year. In July 2015, Airbus officially began assembly. In April 2016, Airbus delivered the first American-built A320 aircraft "Blues Mobile" to JetBlue Airways.
I was proud to attend the delivery of the first Airbus A320 aircraft made in Alabama. The world was watching when Airbus chose Alabama to invest in its first U.S.-based production facility. Thank you, Airbus, for investing in Alabama.
Groundbreaking of Boeing PAC-3 Missile Seeker Facility Expansion
Boeing announced the groundbreaking of a new 28,000-square-foot building for their Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Seeker program to be completed in Huntsville, Alabama, by May of 2017. The expansion will create 70 full-time engineering and manufacturing jobs.
Also, Boeing announced in November that they will be adding approximately 400 jobs to the Huntsville site between now and the year 2020. These jobs will be in the fields of engineering, advanced manufacturing and administrative support. Boeing plays a huge role in the defense of our Nation and the economy of our State. I am proud Boeing calls Alabama home.
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Public Service Award
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) hosted their annual Aerospace Spotlight Awards Gala at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, June 15, 2016. At the Gala, I was honored to accept the 2016 AIAA Public Service Award with Marshall Space Flight Center Director Todd May.
The AIAA Public Service Award was established in 1986 to honor a person outside the aerospace community who has shown consistent and visible support for national aviation and space goals. Past recipients of the Public Service Award include Gene Roddenberry, Walter Cronkite, and the Great-Great Niece of Orville and Wilbur Wright, Amanda Wright Lane. As you can see from the list, it is a huge honor to join such a distinguished group. Representing Alabama for this National award is a true testament to our State's commitment to advancing the aerospace industry. I want to say thank you to the AIAA Chapter in Huntsville for nominating me to receive this prestigious award.
Rainbow Omega Receives the Honda Excellence in Delivery Award
Rainbow Omega in Eastaboga, Alabama, was established in 1991 and provides residential and vocational programs for adults with developmental disabilities. The residents at Rainbow Omega work each day to assemble owner's manuals for Honda vehicles manufactured all over the world. On June 23, Honda presented Rainbow Omega with the Excellence in Delivery Award for always being on time and having no mistakes. Over the last ten years, the residents at Rainbow Omega have assembled a total of 2.8 million owner's manuals.
Aerospace States Association Meeting in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
At the Aerospace States Association (ASA) Annual Meeting in July, I had the opportunity to attend the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The EAA Airshow is the largest airshow in the world, attracting more than 500,000 people and 10,000 airplanes. It was very exciting to see the Auburn University Aviation Program represented, as well as a number of Alabama companies.
2016 Special Session
On August 15, 2016, the Alabama Legislature was called into a Special Session by the Governor to request additional revenues through a statewide lottery. The Special Session was the third Special Session in the last 12 months, along with two Regular Sessions, for a total of five Legislative Sessions in the last 20 months.
Over the past year, the Legislature has struggled to identify an additional $85 million to fully fund Medicaid at their requested $785 million. The ever-increasing appropriation for Medicaid will continue to remain a challenge.
The most recent Special Session revolved around two main issues: the lottery and BP Settlement monies, as they relate to Medicaid funding. After the lottery proposal failed, the BP settlement monies were addressed by the Legislature. After days of debate on the different combinations of how the money would be used by the House, Senate and Conference Committee, it was enacted by both houses. The bill provides $400M to debt repayment, $120M for roads in Mobile and Baldwin Counties and $120M to Medicaid for Fiscal Year 2017 and Fiscal Year 2018. Although a solution was accomplished to fully fund Medicaid for the upcoming fiscal year, budgetary challenges remain for our upcoming sessions.
As a result of the Special Session, the Joint Legislative Task Force on Budget Reform was created by Pro Tem Marsh and Speaker McCutcheon to focus on the best way to fund state government with existing revenues. The Task Force has met each month since September and will have a final meeting in January before reporting to the Legislature during the next Regular Session which begins in February.
Million Women Mentors Summit and Gala in Washington, DC
Million Women Mentors (MWM) is a national organization supporting the advancement of one million women and girls to succeed in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs and careers. In October, I joined Shelia Boyington, MWM National States Chair; Arkansas Lt. Governor Tim Griffin; New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno; and Maryland Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford at the State Panel during the Million Women Mentors Summit and Gala in Washington, DC. During the panel, I had the opportunity to share the advances our students are making in Alabama in STEM programs.
Alabama's 187th Fighter Wing in Montgomery Makes Final Five Bases for New F-35s
Montgomery's 187th Fighter Wing made the final cut of the top five National Guard units to receive the F-35s. The 187th Fighter Wing Commander Randy Efferson is one of two Air National Guard Lockheed Martin F-35 instructor pilots and he helped write the manuals for flying the F-35s. The 187th Fighter Wing is the only base in the top five with a direct connection to the Tuskegee Airmen Red Tails. I am confident when Air Force Officials make the final selection, Alabama will be the obvious choice.
President-elect Trump Visits Mobile During "Thank You" Tour
President-elect Donald Trump concluded his "Thank You" tour in Mobile, Alabama, on Saturday, December 17th. Almost a year to date, Alabama began to show substantial support for the President-elect. I am proud of Alabama's role in the election and the new administration through individuals like my lifelong friend Jeff Sessions and others.
Through the adversity and success Alabama has faced over this past year, I am reminded of how truly blessed we are as a State. I am proud of all of our combined accomplishments on behalf of the State. As I prepare for 2017, I am encouraged that Alabama will remain the greatest State in the country. Thank you all for the opportunity to serve as your Lieutenant Governor. It is truly an honor that is not taken for granted. I pray that you and your family have a blessed New Year.

But aboard the Kennebunk there was just one order that interested every one.
And when you talk of one person—have you heard of the man over in Kennebunk?
The Kennebunk was a huge craft, indeed, being of thirty-two thousand tons' displacement.
The Kennebunk was fitting out in a port not fifty miles from Seacove.
She sank in seconds, and the Kennebunk steamed on to attack a second monster of the deep.
You will get your notice by telegraph when to join the Kennebunk, and where.
The thousand-pound shell, hurtling through the smoke-filled air, found the vitals of the Kennebunk's immediate enemy.
If you youngsters do well on the Kennebunk some of you may soon be gunners' mates.
I have an idea the old Kennebunk is going to be blessed with similar chances.
What do you suppose she meant, Mr. MacMasters, about our Kennebunk being sunk?

|User Surveys and Studies
KEEN occasionally conducts research on the usability of our website and voice portal, including online user surveys and in-person usability studies. The findings are used to improve your experience when using the KEEN service.
How can I participate?
We need two things from you: Your valid email address, and permission to contact you via email. Both can be updated by going to the My Account › Personal Information page:
I received an email about participating in a study. Is it really from KEEN?
We work with a company called Resolution Research to recruit and schedule the participants for our usability studies. If you are invited to participate in a study, you may receive an email directly from a representative of Resolution Research. If you are ever unsure if communication from (or on behalf of) KEEN is legitimate, please submit a customer support request.
Where are the studies held?
Most of our user testing takes place in Glendale, California, in the greater Los Angeles area.
How are participants selected?
It depends on what we're testing. If we want to survey existing KEEN users, the first criteria is always whether we have a valid email address and the user has opted in to receive news and special offer emails from us. If both those criteria are met, then some other filters might be advisor (or customer), transaction volume, geographical location, etc. We do not keep a list of users who would like to participate in studies; instead we pull lists based on the criteria just mentioned.

It's personal taste. I have one of each and I can't say I like one more than the other. They're classic and, at this point, one will not appreciate more than the other. Flip a coin and buy the one it lands on. Or get one of each.

Derry Council to again discuss anti blight ordinance
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the third-floor meeting room of the Municipal Center.Town Councilors agreed in April to form a seven member blight subcommittee to begin exploring the process for passing an anti-blight ordinance. After it was formed, the committee was to look into the legal requirements for establishing such an ordinance.Councilors addressed the vacant properties last year as one of the items in a joint meeting with the Planning Board.
In March, Council Chairman Mark Osborne said that passing a blight ordinance was one of the major projects he wanted to see the council accomplish.Osborne said such an ordinance should be enforcable.
Acting Administrator Larry Budreau said that part of the discussion will involve determining when the condition of a building warrants the consideration of some type of enforcement action.The current town code is vague on when a property is considered blighted, according to officials.
"Instead of it being part of the town's overall code, it would be a separate ordinance that would have some enforcement sanctions," Budreau said.In other agenda items, councilors are scheduled to discuss setting a public hearing for a proposal to accept funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, for personal body armor under the Bullet Proof Vest Partnership Program. The public hearing would be set for June 17, according to the email@example.com

2 more arrests in deputy's fatal shooting
ABBEVILLE - Louisiana State Police have arrested two more people who investigators say helped one of the men accused in the Monday shooting death of an off-duty Vermilion Parish sheriff's deputy.
Detectives determined that 28-year-old Miguel Comeaux and 24-year-old Quintygi Richard, both of Abbeville, helped 20-year-old Quintylan Richard elude capture on the day the shooting occurred.
Comeaux and Quintygi Richard were booked Tuesday night into the parish jail on a charge of accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Bond information was not immediately available. It was not known if either was represented by an attorney.
Quintylan Richard, the suspected triggerman, and 20-year-old Baylon Taylor were arrested earlier Tuesday in the slaying of 51-year-old Deputy Allen Bares Jr.
The case remains under investigation.

Even as Yahoo issues press statements designed to dampen "rumor and speculation" about potential new ownership arrangements, someone has been using an unusual communications channel to more candidly signal the company's intentions ... and, frankly, its desperation.
You may or may not know that clicking on the period on the exclamation point at the end of the Yahoo! homepage logo has for many years produced an audio rendering of the famous Yahoo yodel: Ya-hooo-oooo. Go there and try it, or give it a listen here:
Less well known is that someone - no yodeler, this guy - has from time to time recently been hijacking the melodious punctuation mark to send cryptic messages, a few of which we have managed to intercept and record.
There's the generic plaintive appeal:
And a reminder that the company is under new management since the September sacking of former CEO Carol Bartz:
And even an acknowledgment that no reasonable offer will be refused:
Right now all you'll hear is the standard choir-sung version, which itself is a departure from the iconic Yahoo yodel recorded by Wylie Gustafson back in 1996.

LONDON (Reuters) - So what do you do for an encore to cap an extraordinary two months of concerts and recitals in a summer series that bills itself as the "world's greatest music festival" on its last weekend in the 2012 Olympics city?
Well, you party, big time, with two concerts, one indoors, one out, featuring a genre-bending array of singers and musicians, from Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja and Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti to Australian pop star Kylie Minogue and English tenor Alfie Boe, plus a four-minute-long orchestral premiere whose composer guarantees a sonic explosion in what is, and only can be, the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday night.
You also let the "Prommers", those 600 souls who every night can queue up for tickets costing five pounds ($8) for standing room in the center of London's 6,000-seat Royal Albert Hall, show their appreciation for a season of musical splendor by waving flags, wearing funny hats and outlandish clothes, and singing their hearts out for "the best of British" grand finale that includes Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory" and other hits to make everyone feel a lot, or at least a little bit, British.
"When we were setting off we said it was going to be a summer like no other and I think for a whole number of reasons that's actually been the case," Roger Wright, the Proms Director, and Controller of BBC classical music channel Radio 3, told Reuters in an interview as the big night, for which tickets are awarded by a lottery-like ballot, drew near.
Highlights of the BBC-sponsored Proms 118th season included performances by conductor Daniel Barenboim and his pan-Middle Eastern West-Eastern Divan Orchestra of the nine Beethoven symphonies, a night devoted to the works of the avant garde American composer John Cage, a staging for the first time at the Proms of the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady", plus appearances by world-renowned orchestras, ensembles and soloists.
Wright said his predictions that Proms attendance would hold up despite the Olympics staged on the other side of London most of the summer have proven correct, with average attendance of 90 percent, down from a record 94 percent the previous year.
Demand has been strong right to the end with the Last Night of the Proms, and the 17th year of its pop-oriented twin outdoor concert across the way in Hyde Park, sold out for advance tickets for weeks. Both will be shown for the first time in 3D at cinemas and on the BBC's 3D channel, as well as on big screens and in conventional cinemas across Britain.

If something like that happened to me, I wouldn't look for only Buddhist tools, but anything that worked, especially if my daily practice was disrupted.
Here are some ideas to get over an ex more quickly:
- stay busy, preferably with something absorbing. One day you will look up from your work and you will realize you feel okay.
- spend a lot of time with friend who really like you and who you really like. Have fun in addition to venting to them.
- start dating
- go for counseling
- get in really good shape or do some kind of self improvement where you can see incremental results.

Sergio Castellitto stops Penelope Cruz from blabbing about Tom Cruise in Don't Move.
Penelope Cruz adds sex appeal to the Italian Film Festival, reports Alexa Moses.
Palace Academy, Paddington and Palace Norton Street, Leichhardt

Don't Move opens November 11
What makes Italian cinema peculiarly Italian is difficult to describe, says Italian actor and director Sergio Castellitto. What Italian cinema is not is easier.
Its certainly not the stereotypes that others represent as Italian, Castellitto says.
Italy is definitely not pizza mandolini, and what identifies as an Italian culture is really culture, our literature, our art. Thats the genesis on which we base our movies.
The Italian filmmaker wrote, directed and starred in Don't Move, which screens at the Italian Film Festival before its November 11 release. The film, which also stars Spanish actor Penelope Cruz, was a box-office hit in Italy, and was selected for the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes this year (jury's pick for the non-competition best).
"From the beginning of my career, I always hear about crisis in Italian cinema," says 51-year-old Castellitto.
"I think that in Italy, they do something well only if they feel in crisis. The crisis isn't only Italian, it's a European crisis in front of the power of American cinema."
Castellitto sought to address that crisis with his second feature film. Don't Move is about successful surgeon Timoteo (Castellitto), who, while waiting to discover if his teenage daughter will live through an emergency operation, starts to reminisce about a powerful affair he had with troubled waif Italia (Cruz).
The film is an adaptation of the novel written by Castellitto's wife, Margaret Mazzantini. Castellitto read Mazzantini's work from the day she started writing, and saw the glimmerings of a film in the early pages.
"I understood immediately that in all the words there were many, many images, so I felt that in the book there was a big story," Castellitto says.
"I think three things are needed to do a good movie - strong characters, a very tight plot and the ethical theme."
Castellitto started to write the first draft of the script without his wife's help.
"Margaret didn't want to write with me," he says. "She told me I was the director and I had to choose the direction of the movie alone, and I think its right."
Mazzantini helped her husband with the third and fourth drafts of the script.
At the centre of Don't Move is the love story between Timoteo and Italia that starts in a way that would horrify any card-carrying feminist - with a rape. Soon the relationship blossoms into intimacy. Castellitto says that this is entirely the point, and the rape was the strongest departure point for his story.
"I wanted to tell about a lost story that starts from the dark and goes towards the light," he says.
"So when he entered the first time in the house of Italia he recognised the loneliness, that emptiness he has inside, inside her womb, inside of her. They are like two animals who smell each other. This love starts in a horrible way and becomes like a spiritual love."
Most unusual about the film was the casting of the Spanish Cruz as the grandly named Italia, when there were Italian actors clamouring for the role. Castellitto says it was less a question of Cruz's fame, more a question of her ability, and the possibility of financing from Spain.
"I met all the Italian actresses, but I didn't choose Penelope because she was a star," he says. "I chose her because she was the best one in this character as Italia. Nobody criticised us for this and all the rest of the cast was Italian."
The director says his greatest concern was Cruz's beauty.
"I was not sure that she could play a character like Italia, but she loved very much the book and script and we talk about it for two days," he says.
Castellitto agreed, and Cruz started to study Italian fervently.
The Italian film festival is one of the biggest in Sydney's calendar, attracting 12,000 patrons last year. This year, the program features comedy Caterina in the City, in which Castellitto also stars; Agatha and the Storm, about a sunny bookshop owner whose paramour is a man almost half her age; Certain Children, about children drawn into a grim Mafia underworld; and thriller First Love, the story of a couple bound together by an obsessive food regimen.
The 15 films were chosen from a pool of 40 by Antonio Zeccola, Italian Film Festival director and managing director of Palace cinemas.
"We don't see the bad Italian films because I don't choose them," he says.
"Italy went though a stage of stupid comedies; they made me cry because they were so bad. These are very worthy of being watched. They are art films in the highest sense."
Unlike Castellitto, Zeccola doesn't find it difficult to describe the elements that make Italian cinema peculiarly Italian.
"It's in Italian," he points out.

An Eye for Beauty
With a little vision, some hard work and a lot of passion, a homeowner builds a home one cast-off at a time.
If there is one thing Rebecca Bosch has in abundance it's a vision for what could work. Her home is filled with the kind of gems that were once destined for the trash. But with her keen eye, propensity for paint and a few helpful connections, she's created one-of-a-kind treasures that infuse her home with style, charm and personality.
"I describe it as Shabby Cheap," she says with a not-so-subtle note of pride in her voice. After a look at some of her thrifty finds, it's not hard to see why. Walking through her home is a storytelling experience: the closet-door mirror a neighbor was tossing that she reclaimed and transformed into a grandiose mirror above the fireplace and the dingy chairbacks she acquired at a flea market that became fretwork for her fireplace are examples of her ingenuity, creativity and hard work.
"I don't mind working on it to get it where I need it to be," she says. "That is part of the fun. In fact, when I'm done with a project I get sad because I want to keep going." Rebecca has kept it going ever since she realized what kind of home she wanted to create and that, moreover, she could do it on a budget.
"My niece had just been born, and when I visited her in the hospital and saw all the pink in the room I just felt so happy and light," she recalls. "I knew then that was the feeling I wanted to have when I walked into my home."
She set out for the big-name designer shops for shabby and chic wares but found the price tags prohibitive. Instead, she focused her attention to home-design magazines, where she began to learn the value of DIY. Now, sweat equity is old hat, and she spends most of her free time on the hunt for something to transform.
"I go to estate sales and garage sales all weekend," she says. "I am constantly looking for treasure. I see potential in things; items look different in my eyes now."
It's a talent that has afforded Rebecca many treasures. The home is filled with bargains, sourced at discount shops and garage sales or acquired for free, like the aforementioned mirror that had made it to the trash heap before it came to Rebecca's rescue. Chandeliers, passed on by others for the state of their disrepair, are a goldmine for Rebecca; there's not one in her house that didn't begin as a rusty brass monstrosity that she later transformed into delicate, elegant commodities. She also has good relationships with a local carpenter who she often enlists to help her tackle larger, more complicated projects and an affordable upholsterer who can handle any of her requests. This not only helps her get things just right, it also opens up her options, allowing her to bring more potential treasures home.
"I try to keep only the things that I truly love. If there is a not a spot for something, my philosophy is to not force it to fit," she says. "I don't have a hard time getting rid of anything because I am replacing it with something that I love more."
Sometimes though, as her husband, Brendan, can attest, the rules are meant to be broken. On one particular flea market trip, she happened upon a steal. A seller was offering an oversized, slipcovered sectional for a mere $100. A rare perfect-as-is item, she bought it on the spot before her husband could remind her that the large piece wouldn't fit into their small car. Rebecca opted to run back into town to rent a U-Haul. The sofa is now a perfect fit in their upstairs loft. In order to prevent such snafus in the future, Rebecca and Brendan now own a minivan.

The Ugly SidePin It
Usually I try to take pretty pictures like this when discussing compost. A pretty picture of the compost pitchfork handle when speaking of the compost. The closer in I can get, the more I can blur out in the background, the prettier the idea of compost is. Of course, to paint a pretty picture of compost in the spring is just plain wrong. You see compost in the fall can be rather pretty...a big pile covered with a layer of hay or dried grass on top? Looks pastoral - peaceful - reminiscent of those haystacks in England. Compost in the winter is just a bump in the garden, covered with fluffy snow - who has ever disliked a mini-mountain of snow? It fits in just nicely.
The problem is spring. You see, in spring, the compost is USED. I take the wire basket off and the pile crumples a bit. Move the crate, fill it with the top of the pile and then "harvest" the compost on the bottom of the pile. The pretty finished compost goes all over the veggie bed and the leftovers are just not pretty. You know how a Thanksgiving turkey goes from perfect and beautiful to looking like a pile of bones the dog found within about 20 minutes? That would be the compost pile in spring.
The other problem? Once the pile has been turned there are some GOOD bugs crawling around the top. Try to keep chickens away from a bug buffet - not possible. Those same chickens go to town with their little fork shaped claws and the area just goes to pot. (Quite literally...whatever weed seeds were anywhere nearby spring up seemingly overnight.)
Maybe I don't show you pictures of the compost in spring because I don't want to scare you off. I don't want you to give up on composting. It is not that difficult, it certainly is good for the Earth and makes me feel a little better about all those diapers I am throwing into the landfill.
|New compost pile being started on the right...on the left on the bottom is finished compost!

A funny thing happened
Stand-up comic Lawrence Leung didn't seek it, buthe has becomean inspiration to Chinese-Australians with hit showsat home and abroad, writes Sue Green
Lawrence Leung didn't plan to become a role model. His stand-up comedy and high-rating television shows do not draw on issues such as racism, a goldmine for some of Australia's "ethnic" comedians. Nor does he make jokes about Chinese culture and his background - all those Saturday mornings at Cantonese school, for instance.
Yet Melbourne-based Leung, whose parents Doris and Leo moved from Hong Kong to Australia, gets fan mail from many young Chinese-Australians for just that reason.
"I don't think I would jump on my own ethnic background to make jokes out of it," he says. "I guess in one way, by just representing myself as myself, that does the same thing. People aren't looking at me as the stereotype of an ethnic comedian."
Leung, who runs his own "chunnel" on YouTube, says he has many Asian fans - every now and then he looks down from the stage at a comedy festival and realises most of the audience is Chinese. "I have had e-mails saying, 'Thanks for being an Asian face on TV'. I did not set out to be a role model, but I think for some people what I'm doing appeals to their sense of identity."
His shows screened on ABC, the national broadcaster, and Leung says that having an Asian face on a mainstream channel "maybe shows how far Australia has come without actually saying, 'Look at this'. Maybe I am an ethnic comedian without trying to be one".
Like many Chinese-Australian children, "I was raised to be a doctor. I got very strong encouragement from my parents to work very hard at my studies with the aim of becoming a doctor," Leung says.
"I have always had a creative streak, I always wrote short stories when I was a child and my teachers always said, 'This is great, can you read this in front of the class?' Whenever people create work, stories, stand-up, plays, they don't exist in a vacuum, they need an audience and often people's audience is themselves. I've always had the urge to show people my stories."
Leung began doing stand-up as a distraction while studying psychology at Melbourne University. Through that he met like-minded students and together they formed a comedy group, The Improbables.
"I had a choice between performing comedy and doing further study to become a psychologist and the comedy took over," he says.
While his parents were "suspicious of whether I could support myself by doing something that was fun", not only have they not opposed his choice of career, they have joined in.
His 2008 series Lawrence Leung's Choose Your Own Adventure saw him trying out all those Boys' Own-style adventures so many young men wish they'd had - including pro wrestling and breakdancing on the streets of Los Angeles. And he was supervised through each episode by good sports Doris and Leo sitting on the couch in matching tracksuits.
"I don't do family-style comedy, but it seemed quite natural for me, when I was doing the television show, to include [my parents], mainly because the show was about trying to reclaim youth," he says.
It is one of several successful television series, most based on his image as a nerdy guy who can solve a Rubik's cube puzzle in minutes but has no luck with women. "Some of it is my personal storytelling, the embarrassing moments of my life, awkward situations, but a lot of it is based on my nerdy obsessions - things that fascinated me might end up on my show," he says.
In Lawrence Leung's Unbelievable (2011), a kind of comedy-documentary, Leung travels the globe investigating the paranormal, illusion and deception. And earlier this year he appeared as one of the "agony uncles" in the ABC advice series of that name - although in keeping with his stage persona, Leung says his advice was mostly about what not to do.
Leung, whose website describes him as a "purveyor of choice stories and jokes", has also made numerous short videos - check out his magic videos on his website or the hilarious clips from his multi-award winning, stand-up shows including Lawrence Leung Wants a Jet Pack (the painful encounter with a former girlfriend is particularly recommended).
He has performed internationally since 1991, but a big break came in July this year when he sold out a two-week run of shows in London's Soho, winning rave reviews and having his show, Beginning Middle End, moved to a bigger theatre.
"I decided to try something different. A lot of my solo shows are about me going off on quests. Most recently, just to keep things new for myself, I decided to just tell stories from my life. I was aware that I was getting a new audience from my television shows."
So while those early shows portrayed him as young, fun and silly, he wanted to show the other side of himself: "That I am not the happy-go-lucky guy you think I am."
Leung says comedy, like clothes, has its fashions - "it goes through certain waves, much like the waves of immigration, or the context of the moment," he says. "The next generation might be the Sudanese comedians, there already are a couple, there are some awesome comedians who take very political stands on issues."
With family still in Hong Kong Leung has visited the city many times, but never to perform. He says it is about time that changed.
Meanwhile, he is working on a feature film which he is co-writing with the director. It is based on Sucker, his first solo show, and he will play his adult self while someone else will be cast as the young Lawrence.
He has been published in magazines and is a regular guest on writers festival panels. So it was a logical next step to write one of the chapters in a book, The Emerging Writer, an insider's guide filled with advice.
Leung found that writing about his journey - which included a "boring office job" until he was able to support himself - was in line with his own view of himself: a writer who performs his material in many ways, rather than purely a comedian.
There are myriad other gigs that enable him to pay the bills without an office job - hosting a spelling bee, writing another television show and a gig at the Sydney Opera House, during which he will read a short story while a comic book artist draws pictures behind him.
His parents have got over wanting him to be a doctor, he says. "My parents just want to be proud of their kids, for them to be good at what they are doing."
So what about his brother, is he also an entertainer? "No, he's a pharmacist."

Nazi Germany was the period in the history of Germany under the rule of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party (abbreviated as Nazi), which established a totalitarian regime that was in power from 1933 to 1945. This new State was called the Third Reich by Adolf Hitler and his followers, succeeding the Weimar Republic that had been created in 1919, right after WWI. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which began in 962 AD with the coronation of Otto I and lasted until 1805, was the First Reich; the Prussian state, under the Hohenzollern dynasty with Emperor William I and William II, which united all the fragmented German semifeudal principalities and estates in one nation after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, was the Second Reich; and the Nazi government that came to power in 1933 was the Third Reich, according to Hitler.
Nazi Germany arose as a consequence of the national anger and resentment against the Treaty of Versailles, the peace treaty signed between Germany and the Allies in 1919, at the end of the Great War, and which was one of the causes of World War II. Germany did not take part in the negotation of the treaty; it was imposed on her. Germany had been forced to accept sole responsability for causing the war and to pay a huge amount of money and millions of tonnes of natural resources from the Rhur area to France and Ingland. This was too heavy a burden to bear and it was the cause the hyperinflation, unemployment, and starvation in Germany during the 1920's. The Allies also wrenched large chunks of territory away from Germany, creating future geopolitical and territorial problems such as the Polish corridor.
During the 1920's Germany was ruled by a republican government under the democratic Weimar Constitution. The political party which catapulted Hitler into power was the National Socialist German Workers Party, known by the German acronym NAZI, which grew out of a smaller political group with a nationalist orientation that formed in the last year of World War I. In 1919, Anton Drexler, a locksmith, founded the German Workers' Party in Munich with Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart. Adolf Hitler, who was a police spy of an intelligence commando, was infiltrated in the German Workers' Party. In his inspection of the party, Hitler was impressed with Anton Drexler's nationalist and anti-Marxist ideas, which favored a strong active government, and a non-Jewish version of socialism. And Drexler was also impressed with Hitler's oratory skills and invited him to join as the party's 55th member.
On November 8, 1923, in Munich, Adolf Hitler and General Ludendorff attempted to overthrow the Bavarian government, but failed. Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison. The time that Hitler spent in jail changed his view on violent revolution to effect change. From then on, to win the German heart, he had do everything legally, since Germans obviously frowned at not following the rules. This illegal attempt at seizing the Bavarian government is known as the Beer Hall Putsch.
In the elections of 1928, the Nazis gained a meager 12 seats in the German Reichstag. But in 1930, after the American stock market crashed, they obtained 107 seats and became the second-largest parliamentary party. After the July elections of 1932, the Nazis were the largest party in the Reichstag, with 230 seats. Hindenburg was reluctant to give any substantial power to Hitler, who consistently demanded to be appointed chancellor in order for Hindenburg to receive any Nazi Party support of the cabinets appointed under his authority.
On December 2, 1932, Hindenburg's Chancellor Franz von Papen, who was the leader of the Catholic Center Party, resigned, for he had no longer enough political support in the Reichstag. He was temporarily replaced by Kurt von Schleicher who could not obtain support in parliament, too. Under pressure from businessmen and political leaders, Paul von Hindenburg finally accepted to appoint Hitler Chancellor of Germany. He was sworn in on January 30, 1933.
On February 27, 1933, a fire broke out in the Reichstag building and Dutch council communist Marinus van der Lubbe was found in the building. He charged with starting the fire and was put in prison. As the unnerved German public feared that the blaze had been a signal meant to initiate the communist revolution, the Nazis saw this event as an opportunity to get rid of potential insurgents. Many communists, anarchists, and socialists throughout the Reich were sent to the Dachau concentration camp. The event was quickly followed by the Reichstag Fire Decree, abolishing habeas corpus and other civil liberties. Then Enabling Act was passed in March 1933, with 444 votes, against the 94 of the remaining Social Democrats. The act gave Hitler legislative powers, authorizing him to deviate from the constitution for four years. Thus, Hitler had seized dictatorial powers.
The Nazis ruthlessly eliminated all opposition. The Social Democrats were banned in June. In June and July, 1933, the Nationalists Party, People's Party, and State Party were all forced to disband. The remaining Catholic Center Party, at Papen's urging, disbanded itself on July 5, 1933, after guarantees over Catholic education and youth groups. On July 14, 1933, Germany was declared a one-party state. On January 30, 1934, further consolidation of power was achieved with the Act to rebuild the Reich. This act changed the highly decentralized federal Germany of the Weimar Republic period into a centralized state. It transferred sovereign rights of the federal states to the Reich central government, disbanding local parliaments and putting the states administrations under the control of the Reich administration.
The black-red-gold flag of the Weimar Republic was abolished by the new regime which adopted the old imperial black-white-red tricolour, which had been completely abandoned during the Weimar Republic, was restored as one of Germany's two officially national flags. The other official national flag was the swastika flag of the Nazi party. But, in 1935, it became the only national flag. The national anthem continued to be "Deutschland über Alles."
By the spring of 1934, the German army still remained independent from Nazi control. The army had traditionally been separated from the government. The Nazi paramilitary SA expected top positions in the new power structure and wanted the regime to abide by its promise of enacting socialist legislation for Aryan Germans. But many top-ranking army officers hated the SA members and their violent and inmoral behavior, specially their leader Ernst Röhm, who was known to be a homosexual who led a life of total debauchery. Wanting to preserve good relations with the army and most of the businessmen who were wary of more political violence erupting from the SA, Hitler began what is known as the "Night of the Long Knives", on the night of June 30, 1934. It was a purge of the leadership ranks of Röhm's SA as well as hard-left Nazis carried out by another rightist and more elitist, Nazi organization, the SS, which was Hitler's personal guard created by Heinrich Himmler.
Upon the death of Paul von Hindenburg on August 2, 1934, the Nazi-controlled Reichstag merged the offices of President and Chancellor of the Reich, reinstalling Hitler with the new title Führer und Reichskanzler. Until the death of Hindenburg, the army did not follow Hitler. But the execution of Ernst Röhm, leader of the SA, in the Night of the Long Knives, the death of Hindenburg, the merger of the SA into the Army and the promise of other expansions of the German military wrought friendlier relations between Hitler and the Army. This resulted in a unanimous oath of allegiance by all army officers and soldiers to obey Hitler.
To detect any secret political activity against the Nazi regime, Herman Göring created the Gestapo, a state secret police which acted outside of any civil authority. It consisted of about 100,000 spies and informants who operated throughout Germany, reporting to Nazi officials the activities of any dissenters. Although many political opponents, such as Marxist communists or international socialists, were reported by spies and put in prison camps, most ordinary German citizens, happy with the improving economy and better standard of living, remained obedient and quiet.

Boehner: Keystone XL to Ride on GOP's Highway Bill
House Republicans intend to use their upcoming highway and infrastructure bill to push for approval of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, Speaker John Boehner said Sunday.
"If it's not enacted before we take up the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, it'll be part of it," Boehner said during an interview on ABC's "This Week".
The controversial pipeline has become a political flashpoint between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans demanded an expedited Obama Administration decision on the pipeline's approval as part of a deal temporarily extending payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits back in December. The administration rejected the approval earlier this month, setting off GOP criticism that President Obama's political allies were preventing a project that could grow jobs.
House and Senate negotiators are now bargaining over a one-year payroll tax extension, and Boehner's statement suggests Republicans are keen to avoid another bruising confrontation with Democrats over the pipeline issue.
"[E]xtending the payroll tax cut that the president has called for, the House has already passed the year-long extension. We are in a formal conference with the Senate, and I'm confident that we'll be able to resolve this fairly quickly," Boehner said.
Instead, it appears Keystone may become one of a long list of domestic energy projects Republicans try to promote in their upcoming highway and infrastructure bill. The five-year bill calls for $260 billion in highway funding, financed partially through expansions in domestic energy production. Details of the bill are expected this week, and House Republican aides say they expect it to come to the floor in February.

Walker, Louisiana (The Weekly Vice) - Jeffery Reynolds, a 31-year-old Walker man was jailed Tuesday after he allegedly used a knife to cut out his wife's unborn baby before stabbing the infant to death.
According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the couple's home at around 11:15 a.m. after receiving an emergency call.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found a 28-year-old pregnant woman who had been stabbed in the abdomen with a knife or another sharp object before her unborn child was cut out of her womb.
Investigators say the victim, who was 7-and-a-half months pregnant, was rushed to a local hospital, where she is now listed in stable condition. The baby, however, was also stabbed and did not survive the assault.
Reynolds was apprehended at the scene, and was very combative. He was taken to an area hospital for routine blood tests. Detectives have not yet released a motive for the assaults.
Reynolds was booked into jail and charged with first-degree feticide and attempted second-degree murder.

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, 96 Cad DeVille Questions in Cadillac Engine Discussion; I have a 96 Cad deVille that quit on me while running 70 mph down an Interstate. Got it restarted ...

96 Cad DeVille Questions
I have a 96 Cad deVille that quit on me while running 70 mph down an Interstate. Got it restarted and stalled again. My mechanic installed a new ECM and it did the same thing and its back in the shop. I've read several threads on the CPM and the CKP. My question - since its in the shop should I replace ALL of these at once just to be on the save side.
Another question: How good is the overall reliability of the 96 Cad deVille? I have already pulled the motor from my deck lid as it no longer worked. I'd just as soon close that myself any way.
A thought to ponder on as well: What happens to all this gadgetry when we get hit with a huge EMP? There are so few horses and bicycles around these days!!
Thanks! Jesse
Re: 96 Cad DeVille Questions
'96 CKP sensors were pretty reliable, but they are a possibility.
Trunk pull down motor is an easy fix. Switch or brushes most likely.
Re: 96 Cad DeVille Questions
Well, both of my CKP sensors were replaced and the engine actually runs a bit smoother, however, this still cut out on me when I was doing about 50 mph going to work (22 mi drive) but I drove home with no problem.
I'm still worried that this engine dying is still a problem. Any suggestions other than possibly replacing the CPM sensor?
Could this be some other electronics problem NOT associated with these three sensors?
Re: 96 Cad DeVille Questions
No codes? Might check the battery cables for corrosion and tightness.

Re: 96 Cad DeVille Questions
Have you ever changed the fuel filter? Could be clogged, or it could be a failing pump.
I wouldn't say they aren't reliable, its just when they break, it starts to get expensive. Also do a search on the forum for "headgasket"
Re: 96 Cad DeVille Questions
I had this checked out again and drove it to work and it died just as I was pulling up to a light. Luckily I was able to push it off to the side with no problem, but just could not get it re-started. Another tow job!!
This time I got the following codes from the mechanic: PC 0717H, PC1599H, and IP1910H. The first to have to do with a "low idle" from what I can determine from the listings, however, I never did find the IP1910H code in the listing.
No, I haven't changed the fuel filter yet, and the batter linkages is O.K. as I only recently installed a new battery, with very clean terminals and cables.
Any ideas as to why this engine is still just quitting on me?
Someone told me that the dealer analysis equipment picks up more than a handheld piece of equipment. Is that true? My mechanics device seemed to be a pretty good piece of equipment.

I have never won anything in my life. Nothing. Oh, wait, I lied. I have never won anything in my life that I would actually want. Things won:
1- Round of Golf in a United Way contest. Gave it back to be re-raffled, much to Tommy's chagrin.
2- Dinner for two at Jamil's. I am sure that would be lovely, if I ate meat.
But, today I was awarded the Most Awesome Blogstress award by Angie at Step-fabulous! Yay me!
So, as part of my acceptance speech, I am to tell you 7 things that make me Awesome. This should be easy, right?
1- My awesome computer abilities. I can google better than anyone I know. Unfortunately, this is not a marketable skill but it does bring my 8 blog followers (hi, Kelsey!) some new finds.
2- I am an awesome pup mom to Pudge and Carter. You will hear no arguments from them. (And, that is not just because they cannot talk.)
3- I have awesome friends and family!
4- Oooh - I am world's most awesome aunt! Boo ya, Tori! And, I can totally say whatever I want about that because my she has never read my blog, I am pretty sure. So, I will also award myself with World's Most Awesome Sister/Sister-in-Law. Both are easy considering I only have one sister and I am Kristen's (Max's mom) only s-i-l.
5- I am an awesome planner. Vacays, partys, play dates, my future - I am on it. Just don't make me deal with logistics of getting everyone else there. That I don't like.
6 - Okay, this is getting hard now. Oh, I am an awesome speller. I should be in one of those new adult spelling bees. Only I have to write it out. I cannot do it in my head. (That is kind of a lie -- I have a hard time spelling embarrassed and guarantee -- um, yeah, thank God for spell check on those. Just had to correct.)
7 - I have an awesome memory for all things that happened in high school. Now, that is a talent!
Since I cannot keep all this awesomeness to myself, I am going to bestow Queen of Awesome on my friend, Aja, from It's a Strange and Lovely Ride. Totally fitting because:
1- She is awesome.
2- Her blog is hilarious.
3-Randomly Angie knows Aja! Small, weird world.

Livin' in Fredneck.
Hey everyone, just joined this forum earlier today. I just got my WRX last month and am loving it.
I wanted to stop by and say hi to fellow WRX/STi drivers around town. I am sure I've seen a few of you. If you've seen a 17 year old looking kid, in a Dark Grey WRX hatchback, that's me.
Just the other day driving down Kemp Rd. I saw a black wrx, '07 by the looks of it. new grill with something red visible under it.
Not very auto savy, though, I'm willing to learn a few things :)
Hopefully I can make it out to a meet at some point.
Wow, I'd be willing to bet that was me - what are the odds? I recently moved to Hagerstown, but I'm in the Frederick area several times a week for school and to visit my parents since they still live there. If you want to try to get something started, I'd be down, although you'd probably have more luck recruiting people from NASIOC since there are tons more people on that forum..
Now that I look at your picture, I would be willing to bet that as well.
Yeah, I could see if I could get something going for an upcoming weekend. Though, after this weekend, I'm going to be out of town for the next several weekends. Just like a "Hey whats up." small scale thing I would assume.

Austin Montessori School is one of the few Montessori schools that offer the full range of Montessori education, with levels from the youngest children's community through the adolescent program. Most Montessori schools in Austin and, indeed, around the country do not. It is our school's mission to provide families with a comprehensive Montessori education through adolescence (9th grade). We keep this mission foremost in mind when placing new children.
We welcome applications from all interested families.
Priority is given to siblings of current students, children of alumni, and students with previous Montessori experience.
Children are placed according to the needs of the individual classroom communities. We strive for communities that reflect balance and diversity of socioeconomic level, race, ethnicity, age and gender.
Criteria for placement is based on space availability, the child's age and readiness for the program as well as the parent's commitment to the Montessori philosophy and school culture.
Waiting Pool: Your child will be placed in our active waiting pool once we receive an admissions application with the application fee. You will be notified by mail or phone if we are able to place your child.
If we are unable to place your child, we will send you an email in the late fall, asking if you would like to remain in the waiting pool or withdraw. It is possible that your child may be accepted later in the spring or even over the summer if a place becomes available.
For additional information, contact Admissions
