Council talks code enforcement Mayor wants fake flowers removed from lawn By RANDAL SEYLER
638-0212 | @WCN_HCT firstname.lastname@example.com CHIPLEY — Chipley City Council members discussed the need for a private property standards ordinance at the council's June workshop on Thursday. Mayor Linda Cain had a list of 52 properties from around the city that she said need cleaning up, and the primary property she was concerned with was a house on Main Street that has its lawn decorated with artificial flowers.

"One issue we have is how do we recover any funds we spend on cleaning up properties?� Miner said.

Sen. Gaetz rips feds for sequestration PANAMA CITY — State Senate President Don Gaetz blasted the "dysfunctional" federal government Wednesday, saying the "mindless" sequestration cuts might force him and House Speaker Will Weatherford to call a special SEN. DON session to remedy funding cuts. GAETZ While meeting with The Panama City News Herald's editorial board, Gaetz also said the Legislature shouldn't be reconvened to work out a solution on implementing the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare); that he supports greater attention being paid to Apalachicola Bay; and that the Senate will hold hearings on a recent $52 million deal approved by Citizens Property Insurance Corp.
Sequestration Gaetz, a Niceville Republican, said he was to receive a list
Wednesday of state services and projects that will lose federal funding under sequestration. These include the National Guard and mental health and substance abuse programs. "Your federal government in Washington is dysfunctional; it's the Hatfields and the McCoys. They can't pass a budget and so they've got a mindless sequestration," he said. So, there's a looming question, Gaetz said, whether he and Weatherford should call a special session to bail out the federal government. Gaetz laid out Florida's options to deal with the sequestration cuts — shortchange programs and those who have contracts through those programs; raise taxes; deplete the state's cash reserves; or reroute other state monies to the affected programs. Gaetz already sounded a warning on sequestration earlier in the week. He and Weatherford wrote Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, asking that federal military technicians be exempted from the furloughs, which start July 8. The Florida National Guard would be affected by the seques-
tration cuts, and their service is vital during and after disasters, the letter said. But, Gaetz said, there's been no response from Washington. "They have a Dumpster on Capitol Hill," Gaetz said. "There's a sign on the side of it that says 'input from the states.' That Dumpster gets filled during the week, and then dumped in the Potomac River on Friday nights." Gaetz, more seriously, said letters also were sent to Florida's congressional delegation. He said every member of the delegation should "think as a Floridian" and apply common sense to the cuts. "Sequestration is not just a federal issue, but it's a state issue — and it suddenly becomes a local issue, especially if a hurricane hits Northwest Florida," he said.
ObamaCare Gaetz was adamant the state Legislature shouldn't reconvene to pass a deal on implementing the Affordable Care Act because the parties are too far apart. He said there needs to be a "landing zone." "The governor, as you know, has gone from: 'No, no, hell no' to
'Yes, please, I'll take two scoops on Medicaid expansion,' " he said. The House, meanwhile, doesn't want to expand Medicaid or take the billions in federal dollars that comes with it, and the Senate wants the money but doesn't want to expand Medicaid; instead it would use the money to allow Floridians to buy private insurance. "You really have three parties, none of whom look at this the same way," Gaetz said.
Apalachicola Bay Gaetz also is ready to put a greater state focus on the ailing Apalachicola Bay, which has seen a steep decline in its oyster harvests, largely because of the lack of freshwater flowing down the Apalachicola River. "People are now beginning to understand how significant and important that issue is," he said. Gaetz said he expects more attention will be paid to it in the future, and to solve it there needs to be interstate cooperation with Georgia, where the water feeding the bay originates. "We ought to be banging on the door of the governor of Georgia all the time and trying to figure out
what we can do that would make it worthwhile for them to cooperate with us," he said. The state has taken some feeble steps, including $3 million in the state budget for the bay, some of which will monitor water flow down the river. Gaetz even gave a creative suggestion on how to gain leverage against Georgia for more water flow. He said that plenty of people who use the state-subsidized Citizens Insurance aren't residents. "Now, I'm not talking about starting a trade war, but I do think that I've learned in business and a little bit in politics that if negotiation is to occur somebody has to want something or they have to want something to stop," he said. Gaetz said he and state Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, who chairs the Banking and Insurance Committee, worked on the idea to allow for "differential rates" for the insurance program. "I think we're in a position to play that card, and it needs to become very important for the governor, and not just him, it needs to become very important for Will Weatherford and me," he said.

"I understand how you may feel about alcohol sales, and the consumption of alcohol, but in this country, you are allowed to make a choice, whether or not you want to purchase or consume alcohol," Anderson said. Anderson said he had called DeRuntz's office and been told that he could not sell alcohol under the county's current zoning laws. "I would like someone to sit down with me and explain why it's okay to sell a six-pack three miles north of town, but I can't negotiate for a piece of property to move a fraternal organization to," Anderson said.
DeRuntz said he would be more than happy to explain the ordinances to Anderson. "What we have here are a couple of issues. First there is the property zoning, then there is the alcohol sales issue." The property zoning became residential during the ongoing process of creating the Future Land Use Map, which began back in 1975, Commissioner Roger Hagan said. "It's not just us, a lot of people have sat in these chairs during this process." The property would have been operating as a fraternal organization as a nonconforming usage, DeRuntz said, which
meant that when it ceased to be a fraternal organization the property reverted back to its original zoning, which was low density residential. As for selling and consuming alcohol on premises, the rules in Washington County are pretty clear, DeRuntz said. "It's prohibited. There is an exception for convenience stores, but clubs and restaurants are not allowed to sell alcohol." Anderson complained that the real estate listing did not match the county's designated zoning, but real estate consultant Jim Town, who was in the audience, said that it was the
real estate broker's job to make sure the zoning was correctly identified for a listing. "A lot of real estate agents do get in touch with Mike (DeRuntz) and make sure to get the proper land use." Town noted that even if the county rezoned the proposed property as commercial, that would not mean that Anderson would automatically get a liquor license. DeRuntz said he spoke with Anderson again on Thursday attempting to set up a meeting with him and his real estate agent. "We'll try and get his issues resolved."

NOAA resets snapper season By VALERIE GARMAN
747-5076 | @valeriegarman email@example.com PANAMA CITY BEACH — Recreational anglers in the Gulf of Mexico will have a 28-day season for red snapper in federal waters regardless of what state shoreline they fish. Officials from the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration announced the change Monday after a judge's ruling last week that forced the agency to re-evaluate its management procedures. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, of Brownsville, Texas, overturned an emergency rule
that gave NOAA authority to set separate federal seasons for recreational snapper harvest in the five Gulf states. Hanen said the rule was used to penalize anglers in states that enact fishing seasons that do not match the federal season, which include Florida, Texas and Louisiana. "That wasn't the intent, but that was the judge's ruling,� NOAA Fisheries regional administrator Roy Crabtree said. "That's the law now and we'll abide by it.� Billy Archer, a third generation Panama City charter fisherman, sits on the board of the Charter Fisherman's Association, an organization that joined Texas and
Louisiana in the lawsuit against NOAA Fisheries. "Basically what happened, the way the lawsuit was filed, the states of Texas and Louisiana were the primary plaintiffs, but we were a part of that group,� said Archer, who captains the boat "Seminole Wind� out of St. Andrews Marina. "The whole purpose of the lawsuit is that you can't penalize the states — Florida, Texas, Louisiana — because they chose to go noncompliant.� Crabtree said NOAA Fisheries estimated the daily catch rate for state and federal seasons and determined a 28-day Gulfwide season would keep the catch within the recreational quota.
"The bottom line is that you can't treat each state differently,� Archer said. "The judge had no idea about red snapper as far as fishing goes, but he understood the law.� NOAA finalized its federal snapper seasons last month, allowing a 34-day season in federal waters off Mississippi and Alabama, where the season in state waters, which extend 9 miles offshore, mirrors the federal season. The noncompliant states faced shorter seasons: 26 days in Florida, 24 in Louisiana and 17 in Texas. In Texas, state waters are open for snapper fishing yearround with a four-fish bag limit, and state waters in Louisi-
ana are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 23 through Sept. 30, with a three-fish bag limit. Florida's 44-day season and two-fish bag limit was set by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in April. "The commission decided to choose a 44-day season rather than a compliant season based on public comments and concern and based on snapper (stock) being better off than we previously thought,� said FWC spokeswoman Amanda Nalley. Nalley said the ruling will have no effect on what happens in state waters.
Fla Choppas finish season undefeated By VALERY MCALLISTER-LAWTON Special to the News
CHIPLEY — The Fla Choppas, a 9-10 year olds team Chipley team coached by Jamar Franklin, had an undefeated 13-0 season this year. Some of the team members have gone on to the All Stars team, which is playing in the AAA District Tournament, which kicked off Friday with Chipley taking on Poplar Springs. The tournament concludes today at 7 p.m. at Pals Park. Franklin is a Chipley High graduate and baseball star prospect who would have gone on to college had it not been for a diagnosis of cancer right before his senior season. Franklin's diagnosis resulted in multiple surgeries at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and through much prayer and faith in God, is now healed of cancer. For the love of the sport of baseball and a love for the youth in his community, he started the Fla Choppas, a team in which most of the players had never stepped on a baseball diamond, one being his own son, Malik Franklin.
Coach Franklin sponsored the Fla Choppas, and has exposed these youth to the All-American sport of baseball, and given them an opportunity to play baseball and broaden their horizons, who otherwise might have never gotten the chance to play baseball. The regular season has come to an end at PALS Park, and now coach Franklin, and assistant coach Joey Tharp will coach the AAA Dixie Youth 9-10 year olds. The All Stars has placed 12 of the league's best together to compete in District Playoffs. Those chosen from PALS Park are Ziar Potter, Malik Franklin, Justin Keys, Kaden Tharp, Logan Pumphrey, Parker Smelcer, Khalil McKinnie, Isaac Berry, Caleb Watford, Will Taylor, Konner Odom and Trevor Balkcome as the AAA All-Star Team for 9-10 year olds. Top pitchers are Ziar Potter, who has never played before, and according to Coach Franklin is "a natural� and also pitching is Malik Franklin. Behind the plate defense will be Kaden Tharp and Isaac Berry. Solid hitting offense will be Logan Pumphrey, Malik Franklin along with others.
Members of the undefeated Fla Choppas baseball team include, front row from left, Parker Smelcer, Isaac Berry, Caleb Watford, Will Taylor, Ziar Potter, Malik Franklin; and middle row, from left, Konnor Odom, Kaden Tharp, Trevor Balkcome, Khalil McKinnie, Justin Keys, Logan Pumphrey.

CODE from page A1 houses,� Miner said. The mayor said the legal process of hunting down property owners and sending them letters takes too long to do anything about cleaning up neglected properties. "It's a matter of due diligence,� Miner said. "There is a legal process we have to follow, and it does take some time.� The city has to find the abandoned or neglected property owners and notify them of the problem. Then if nothing is done, the city
can seek citations, fines and liens. But the process is time-consuming. Miner said as generations pass, properties change from homes to rental properties, and often the pride of ownership and care of lawns and homes falls to the wayside. "Often the kids have moved off to Illinois or who knows where, and it's just a rental property to them. There's no upkeep on the properties,� Miner said. For abandoned properties, if the city decides to

Promoting in the Media
For 75 years, Little League® has been about the local community, and the reason we are the largest youth sports organization in the world is because of the great, local league experience. Members of the print, online, television and radio media are always looking for a good angle to tell a story, and Little League's 75th Anniversary is a great opportunity to celebrate our organization's history and help your local league, which will help with registration.
Tips for Getting Stories Placed
Your local newspaper is a great place to go, but don't overlook the importance of online media (Patch.com or similar local news site), radio stations, community newspapers and television stations. Ask your volunteers and parents if any of them work for a local media outlet or know of someone who does. Knowing a contact is a great way to get your message seen and distributed.
It's always best to reach out to a real person and not a general email. If you can find a sports editor or a local news/community editor, that is great. Try not to contact Editor-in-Chiefs, as they are less likely to have the time to cover your event. For newspapers, online news sites and magazines, look for senior editors, managing editors or reporters at a similar level. For television and radio stations, look for news directors or sports directors.
If you're having problems finding personal contact information, look for a masthead, or go to the About or Contact section of the media outlet's website. If you're still not sure who to reach out to, it never hurts to call the outlet directly and find the appropriate contact.
Media Alerts are perfect for providing quick information on an upcoming event. They should always include Who, What, Where and When. They should also include an interesting hook that makes media want to cover the event, for example, Little League's 75th Anniversary, but be sure to include anything from your community that is noteworthy about the event, whether it's your own league's history or a milestone. It is also smart to include information about any special dignitaries (for example, if the mayor is attending your opening ceremonies) who may be part of your event. Supplying a hi-resolution digital photo for the media to use is another way to help get coverage of your event.
Press Releases are a little bit longer and written more like a story. They should also have all the details that a Media Alert has, only with more information and a quote from your league president or an official with the league, and presented in a way that a news outlet could use that release directly in print or online. They are great for sending out after your event, along with a post-event photo.
When you know the date and time of your event, you can start working on a plan to inform the media. If possible, send a media alert out two weeks before your event and re-send it two to three days before your event. Identify key media that you will reach out to directly the day before your event. Within a day after your event, send out a Press Release and a photo that shares event's success. Follow up with media who covered your event, thanking them or pointing out anything that might be incorrect. If there is a media outlet that didn't cover your event, but you would like them to cover future events, contact them after your event to provide more information and excite them about your local league.
For more resources on how you can help get more media attention for your local league, and for sample Media Alerts and Press Releases, please see the materials in the Chartering and Marketing Toolkit.

In bathroom there is one of those little metal magazine racks on the floor. Inside it, there is a copy of Good Housekeeping, folded over saw that only half of the cover is visible. Next to a picture of the aforementioned actress I can see the headline fragment, "Why Is Jennifer Aniston..."
I have not yet looked to see what the rest of the headline is, but in my mind, it reads, "...on the Cover of This Magazine, When She Hasn't Done a Lick of Housekeeping in Her Adult Life?"

It is the story of a 14-year-old boy who was keeping an eye on his siblings while his dad ran a quick errand Wednesday night, who then ended up guarding a reported rape victim with his hunting knife as an ex-convict battered at the door and threatened to kill them all.

That's the idiot who told his facebook followers that he was about to get shot... Wow. Think about how badly that could have turned out if he had gained entrance to their home. I doubt a hunting knife (or single shot firearm) would have saved their lives.

Brave young man!
A felon with a gun... I am sure he waited 3 days for the background check to clear after he picked up the gun! I guess he should be in an universal database so the other criminal who sold the gun to him knows it's safe to sell the gun without fearing it might be a cop.

Kudos to everyone for the presence of mind to deal with things in the way that they did. One more waste of oxygen off the streets. I hope the victim and the kids get past this one. At least they'll not have to worry about this rapist/murderer (attempted murderer) again.

UPDATE: New Jersey Nets GM Billy King has issued a strong denial that he's attempting to trade for Dwight Howard.
Said King at a press conference: "I'll go on the record that I haven't talked to Orlando about a trade since February, right before the trade deadline . . . I have not had any conversations at all with my good friend Otis (Smith, the Orlando Magic GM).
King was reacting to a report by ESPN.com that said the Nets were prepared to offer two first-round draft picks and center Brook Lopez in return for Howard, who will be a free agent after this season.
The ESPN.com report also said the Nets were willing to take back the contract of Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, which has three years and almost $35 million left on it.
The Orlando Sentinel reminds that Magic GM Smith has been adamant about not trading the face of his franchise.
Howard has dropped hints about moving on from Orlando, but hasn't said definitively where he wants to wind up. Chances of a trade for the center happening quickly seem unlikely because other teams, including the Lakers, are expected to make substantial offers.
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.

With the number of girls involved in its programs dwindling, the Cape Ann Youth Hockey board of directors decided not to give up. Instead, the Gloucester, Mass. organization increased its commitment to girls, offering more options that have already created strong growth in less than two years.
Cape Ann was down to just six girls playing co-ed hockey, and half of them were sticking just with house leagues and not the travel options. That's when the association hosted and promoted girls' hockey open houses in March and April of 2012 to begin its outreach program.
Cape Ann now puts three competitive girls' travel teams on the ice, and they are quickly developing their own identity.
"They don't have a lot of role models," Cape Ann Director of Girls' Hockey Andy Amigo said. "They're not easily available. It's not like you can put on the Bruins and see a girl out there playing and say, 'Hey, I want to be like her.'
"We're trying to build in that stuff and, so far, we've been very lucky. We've been successful in reaching out to people. And, we've had people reach back."
At the first open house, Gloucester resident Ben Smith was there along with Julie Sasner to tell young girls about the growth of women's hockey in the United States and around the world. Smith was the coach and Sasner an assistant for the first U.S. Olympic women's team when it won gold in the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan.
After approximately 50 girls heard what Smith and Sasner had to say, Cape Ann wound up with two travel teams for the 2012-13 season and now has 33 girls on three teams this season.
Since hearing about Olympic women's hockey, the Cape Ann girls have also developed a connection with the Harvard University women, who are ranked among the top NCAA Division I college teams in the country.
"Most like the experience of playing on a girls' teams and having friends on the teams," said Amigo, who has a daughter in the program and coaches the Under-12 team. "We try to do a lot of stuff with girls' teams. We'll go to see local girls' college games."
That led to the attachment to the Crimson program.
"Our colors are crimson and white," Amigo said. "We wound up with a connection with the Harvard girls' team. We go to Harvard girls' games, take the team down, as many girls as want to go.
"A couple of the Harvard girls' players last year, at the end of the season came up and ran one of our practices. We try to build those role models and connections for our girls to see, 'There are girls just like you, and you can do whatever you want to do in the game of hockey.'"
The Cape Ann players even got to share a unique experience with the Harvard and Northeastern University women's teams. The U12 and U14 Cape Ann teams made an intermission appearance at one of the nation's iconic baseball parks during the game between the two college teams Jan. 2 as part of the Frozen Fenway series of games in Boston.
Those few minutes of fame were a big step for girls, who not long ago Amigo and others had feared were losing their place in the Cape Ann program.
Following the open houses, the association used USA Hockey's American Development Model and stuck with its commitment to increasing participation by girls.
Now Cape Ann girls are part of the growth in female hockey around the country and in Massachusetts, which ranks second only to Minnesota among the states with the most girls playing.
The U12 team won its division of the Middlesex Yankee Conference Girls' League last season when the U14 team came in third. Cape Ann moved up to the conference's Major division for U12 teams this season and a U10 team was added.
Girls from other nearby communities on Massachusetts' North Shore are now making their way to Gloucester to be part of the Cape Ann program.

Like a starlet with beauty but no talent, this refined tavern offers lots of flash (see the requisite old-timey trappings) and little substance. Beer is the drink of choice, but the 16 drafts are mostly static, with warhorses (Blue Moon) trotted out alongside treats (Belhaven's gently hopped Thistle IPA). The wine selection, meanwhile, is sparse, with just a handful of offerings that read better than they taste. Ditto the food: The haddock in the fish-and-chips was the picture of golden-fried perfection, but quickly disintegrated into greasy lumps. In pub grub as in pubs, looks can be deceiving.

Melissa McCarthy Covers Rolling Stone: As a Teen "I Turned Slightly Nuts"
She's bold, brash and hilarious, and Melissa McCarthy is proud to be the July 2014 cover girl for Rolling Stone magazine.
In her interview, the "Identity Thief" starlet confesses that she's not all that concerned about her unhealthy lifestyle.
Melissa explains, "I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'"
Meanwhile, McCarthy still has a hard time recalling her profanity-laced dialogue from "Bridesmaids"- "I really truly didn't remember saying most of it."
Back in high school, Melissa says she went from a preppy girl to a party animal- "I turned slightly nuts. [When I would shoplift with my friends] we'd wrap sweaters around ourselves and walk out."

677-SL5-DN American Art Deco Streamline Chandelier (with Downward Facing Fitters)
We must admit that this light is simply stunning. It's hard to believe this is not an original antique chandelier. This is an authentic, accurate, American Art Deco streamline chandelier recreation.
All the unique elements are here for a true Streamline design: nickel plating, a world globe décor center stem like a mini world's fair, and not to mention the matte black accents on bottom bowl, stem and canopy. How accurate can you be for painstaking authentic décor?! Since we are curators of the only American Art Deco Light Museum, when we recreate a light, there are no short cuts. Only authentic totally recreated parts and methods will do.
Shades sold separately. The pictured recreated Streamline era shades (circa 1938), whether in amber color (pictured) or frosted, simply complete it. It just all works. We have listed options above to purchase this light either with the pictured shades, or without. Other 2 ¼" fitter shade options can be found by clicking here.
Measurements: 28" tall, 21" diameter, but could be made taller, or shorter, depending on your project needs.
Each socket can handle up to a 100 watt incandescent bulb, or purchase our optional LED Art Deco looking bulb 60-WW-E26, using only 7 watts and putting out about 75 watts of incandescent equivalent light. Makes running the sconce all night long, perhaps as a nite lite, very economical indeed and cool to the shade as well.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & lawman
He was amazed (to the point he thought I was bordering on mad) that I'm looking to get an Ultima GTR. I understand it's not particularly practical, but it's not like I have to commute in it, and (thank god) no kids to shift around. Also my current car is a VX220 so that's not exactly the epitomy of practicality itself.
Anyway I was just thinking, what does everyone here drive and why?

Because it's been paid-off for years, and it's nice not having a car payment. ( rather spend that money on stuff that's going to make me more money, not lose it again with depreciation).
I plan to drive it until it stops working, or costs more to fix than the car's worth... then I'll walk ;)

A Porsche convertible......why....simple, it makes me smile, and it actually brings a smile to most of the people I meet as well!
It is a totally impractical car for hauling stuff, you need to keep an alternative ride for those jobs.
But, when you want to get out on the open roads in the Florida Sunshine you can't beat a convertible, especially a fast one :)
because someone died and I got a shot at it
it's a classic old lady car, barely driven in it's 111 years, engine is spotless, except for some dust
it's practical and will last forever, and there's room in the back for my daughter and some room for her next sibling, when that might happen
Why? Its like a small van with seats down, im 6'2 and 19 stone id look really stupid driving something smaller, besides it has air con a decent CD player.
Once looked into buying a Lotus sports car thing was so small I couldnt get in the drivers seat, I could only get out of the passengers seat with the roof off!
High days and holidays - Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, the original 3 door with a tea tray for a spoiler. Had it for 20 years, and I still smile every time I drive it.
Also have a BMW 330ci coupe that I could not be bothered to get rid of and use it now and then. Great car and a comfy ride with a lot more bells and whistles than the porsche but out of the 2 I take the porsche almost every time.

I get execrise every day, never go to the gym, get a good counterpont for sitting in front of this bloody machine all day long!

Top 10 Vehicles Owned by Billionaires
The cars and trucks driven by those in the Top 10 of the 2005 Forbes list was, in short, shocking. You won�t find a Bugatti, Ferrari or BMW driven by these billionaires. But you will find a Lincoln, a Mazda, even a Dodge and Ford.
86 BMW 325e - when I need/can run errands by myself. Relatively fun to drive and good on gas mileage. I also know the car very well and do all maintenance / repairs myself
87 BMW 325is - track car. Relatively inexpensive as race cars go...
84 Jeep CJ7 - was my car during college. Drinks gas like there is no tomorrow. Currently is apart (and I mean every single nut and bolt) awaiting rebuild. It's very fun to drive though
Smart people......I see over 40% of them have Porsches!
Not practical for all purposes, you do need to keep a second car! But, if 40%+ of them own a Porsche for fun, they can't be a bad buy :)
I agree with Crush (and those in the billionaire list)......"absolutely amazing machines!"

Gov. Phil Bryant commends the Mississippi House of Representatives for passage of HB 1186, the "Mississippi Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Act." The measure passed the full chamber today by an overwhelming majority and is a key component of Bryant's legislative agenda.
The measure creates a volunteer committee of current and former small business owners and officers who will work with agencies to review existing and proposed rules and regulations and determine if such regulations are harmful to small businesses.
"Small businesses make up the bulk of our employers in Mississippi," Gov. Bryant said. "Large businesses are often better able to comply with across-the-board regulations than small businesses because economies of scale are not taken into account. This legislation ensures that small businesses have a voice and that regulations are not unduly cumbersome.
"I will not stand for job-killing regulations, and I want to make sure that no business shies away from expanding or locating in Mississippi because of burdensome mandates."

Over time Constable built up his sketches more elaborately with impastoed pigment, often using a palette knife to define forms; at the same time, the handling of finished works started to approach more closely the dynamic freedom of sketches. To capture the sparkle of sunlight, he applied flecks of white and yellow to the surface of paintings, an idiosyncratic touch that puzzled observers and eventually came to be derided as resembling snow or soapsuds. Critics began to note this effect with The Lock, 1824, the only vertically oriented canvas in the Stour River series.
The painting was enthusiastically received and sold on the first day of exhibition but, as the artist wrote to his confidant and patron John Fisher in 1824, "My execution annoys most of them and all the scholastic ones — perhaps the sacrifices I make for lightness and brightness is too much, but these things are the essence of landscape." The painting's central protagonist, who presses down upon a crowbar to open the gate and release the water, introduces a jolt of action that distinguishes The Lock from the earlier, quieter Stour pictures. A similar energy is found in the last of the finished canal scenes, The Leaping Horse, 1825. Here a rider and horse jump over a cattle barrier on a towpath upstream from the Flatford mill. Perhaps the most commanding of the Stour River six-footers, The Leaping Horse is certainly the least topographically accurate, as Constable freely rearranged landscape features to arrive at a more satisfying composition. He continued to rework it well after the painting had been exhibited as a finished piece — a practice he carried out increasingly throughout his career. For example, he painted out a willow tree to the right of the horse and added a twisted stump to the very heart of the scene in a flurry of brushstrokes. Indeed, the drama of the painting comes in large part from its dynamic handling: many areas are worked out roughly with a palette knife, and dabs of white highlight are strewn across the canvas.

12 Unique Family Businesses You Probably Didn't Know About
Some inherit hair color. Others, a snail farm. While all families have their oddities, only a few have managed to turn that into profit. And there's no better example than ex- music producer Todd Ray from AMC's Freakshow, Thursdays 9:30/8:30c.
1. Zoppé Family Circus
This family has been traveling together for 170 years and six generations. (Zoppé children who want to anger their parents threaten to run away and join corporate accounting firms.)
2. Gods Own Junkyard
Chris Bracey succeeded his father to run this family business. The neon signs are either commissioned for specific purposes (shops, TV series, art pieces, etc) or for celebrity buyers who want to make us more jealous of their lives.
3. Venice Beach Freakshow
Todd Ray runs Venice Beach Freakshow and has opened up his home to these self-proclaimed freaks. Needless to say, his family dinners have gotten significantly more interesting…
4. Fereikos Helix (Snail Farm)
Sisters Maria and Panagiota Vlachou set up their first farm outside Athens and have since expanded throughout Greece. "For a slow-moving business, it sure did grow fast!" is hopefully a joke neither of them ever made.
5. Rosenwach Tank Co.
This family-owned business has been making water towers for over 100 years. These towers are required by law for buildings over a certain height, so shorter structures with them are probably just compensating.
6. Lock & Co. Hatters
While making fun of British hats is relatively new, this store has been selling to the British Royalty and other elite for over 300 years and will likely outlive snarky tweets.
7. Alphornbau-Neumann (Alp Horns)
Since 1983, this father and son duo have been producing traditional alp horns. Yes, those cough drop commercials were good for business. No, we not sing the tagline.
8. Rooftop Chimney Sweeps
A family-owned business in Virginia, they perform chimney inspections, cleanings, and cheerful renditions of "Step in Time."
9. World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop
This is a 24-hour family business because you never know when you might get a hankering to sell that sword collection.
10. Orgelbau Klais (Pipe Organs)
Philipp Klais is the great-grandson of the founder and now runs the German company. This family has seen eleven cycles of organs being cool, not being cool, being cool again, being too cool, not being cool, and back to being cool again.
11. Bio-Techs Crime & Trauma Scene Cleaning
"Justin, be a sweetie and pass that blood sponge to your sister."
12. Sirch (Sleds)
This family business in Germany produce up to 30,000 sleds every winter. They also craft furniture, which isn't nearly as fun to ride downhill.

I need a 3d carousel image viewer ,where all the pictures have their own little podcast player that gets its info from an rss feed?
Is it possible to get it all in one?
Well, I can't find any file here which has everything that you need but you surely can find 3D carousels which can play podcasts (in mp3 form). However, you would need a custom work to add the RSS feed feature.
You can go ahead and purchase any of the several 3D Carousels w/ Mp3 Players that you can find here on Activeden.net. (Search for "3d carousel mp3").
Once purchased one of your choice, you can shoot an email to the respective author to customize that item for you i.e. incorporate RSS capability into it. Good luck!
Hi Epiphone.
I can make such carousel for you. Send me message on my profile page
Yes, I can make you one too. Contact me through my profile.

Olympus Stylus 410
Generic Company Place Holder Olympus Stylus 410 Compact Camera
We attracted a lot of attention while we were out testing the 4-megapixel Olympus Stylus 410. It has a stylish look, with gold highlights on a metallic, champagne-colored body. But besides having good looks: The Stylus 410 is "weatherproof," according to Olympus, with rubber seals on each cover or opening to keep out rain or the occasional splash of water. (It's not rated as an underwater camera, however.)
Unfortunately, in our image quality tests, the Stylus 410 earned mediocre scores, including an overall score of fair. It washed out skin tones in our flash test, and our outdoor shot had an indigo cast and noticeable speckling in the pure, blue sky.
The camera is easy to use. To turn it on, you slide back the front cover, which in turn extends the camera's 3X zoom lens. Olympus gave the Stylus 410 a simple set of controls (sufficient for snapshot photography) including a comfortable zoom rocker positioned perfectly for your thumb. Changing a basic setting, such as macro mode or flash, requires only a couple of presses of the camera's four-button control pad. Unlike most cameras, the Stylus 410 lacks a dedicated mode dial; instead, a virtual dial pops up on the LCD, and you make your picks by pressing the right and left navigation buttons. Eight different modes help you with a variety of shooting situations, from a beach scene to a fireworks display. For more-complex functions, such as Panorama mode, you have to work your way through a fairly small number of menus. Though the Stylus 410's 1.5-inch LCD screen is relatively small, it's bright enough to let viewers easily view images on it, even in sunlight.
The Stylus 410 shares two problems with its close cousin, the Olympus D580: The instant review seems too short and is not adjustable, and erasing images is laborious. The 16MB XD Picture Card that Olympus bundles with the Stylus 410 can store no more that six images at the camera's highest quality setting. And though the basic printed manual is better than the D-580's, you'll have to read the reference manual included on the software CD to fully understand your camera.
The Stylus 410's lithium ion battery is easy to carry on the road. In our battery tests, we got a slightly above-average 250 shots from a single charge. A bundled wireless remote trigger is a nice bonus.
When the going gets damp, the Olympus Stylus 410 lets you keep shooting. But if you want a camera that produces pictures of better than snap-shot quality, you may be disappointed.
Olympus Stylus 410
4-megapixel resolution, 32MB XD-Picture Card, 35mm to 105mm focal range, 320 by 240 video with audio, 6.6 ounces. One-year warranty on parts and labor, 13-hour daily toll-free support.

Ben Axelrod: Who else is more deserving of a Buckeye Leaf from the Buckeyes' pounding of Purdue than Jeff Heuerman? Playing the best game that an Ohio State tight end has had in 30 years, the junior from Naples, Fla., caught five passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Both Urban Meyer and Braxton Miller came into West Lafayette with the mind-set that they wanted to reward one of the premier blockers on their team, and they did just that, as evidenced by Heuerman's standout performance. There were many worthy standouts in Buckeyes' second blowout win in as many weeks, but the 6-6, 252-pounder stood taller than them all and could be an X-factor for the OSU offense moving forward.
Pat Brennan: Aside from one careless interception early in the game, Braxton Miller picked apart Purdue's defense with surgical precision in the drubbing of Purdue. Miller zinged and zipped the ball all across the field, completing 19 of his 23 attempts for 233 yards and four touchdowns in little more than one half of work. Miller also did well to recognize that Purdue was neglecting Buckeyes tight end Jeff Heuerman and simply feed him the rock. As he did during last week's rout of Penn State, Miller looked agile, explosive and confident in his passing. Miller didn't need to be at his best to beat hapless Purdue, but he was anyway and put the game out of reach very early as a consequence.
Ryan Ginn: It took Ohio State exactly two plays to remove any doubts about the outcome in Ross-Ade Stadium, and for that, my Buckeye Leaf goes to junior cornerback Doran Grant. The Buckeyes' much-maligned secondary has looked leaps and bounds better in recent weeks, and Grant's 33-yard interception return for a touchdown set the tone for a rout. The offense has starred in virtually every game this season, but the Silver Bullets have quietly become more and more reliable as Big Ten play has progressed.
Matthew Hager: It's a different era at Ohio State. The Buckeyes rout teams that (on paper at least) they are supposed to. Not only that, but the tight ends are a part of the offense. Both Jeff Heuerman and Nick Vannett caught touchdown passes, but I'll give my Buckeye Leaf to Heuerman. When an Ohio State tight end catches five passes for 116 yards, it's very hard to overlook.
Marcus Hartman: This was another game with plenty of candidates, but in the name of appreciating greatness while it is still around, I am going with Braxton Miller. The Buckeyes' junior quarterback had another ridiculously efficient day, completing 19 of 23 passes for 233 yards and four touchdowns. He showed no effects from an early interception and continued to run the offense with coolness and confidence. The offense was razor sharp even with him running only one time, which is a big statement in and of itself.
Jeff Svoboda: There are so many players deserving that it's hard to go with just one, but I'll head to the defensive side of the ball and go with Ryan Shazier. He was the leader of a standout Buckeye defense, making seven solo tackles, three of which went for loss and two that were sacks. Purdue freshman quarterback Danny Etling was never comfortable in the pocket, and one of the main reasons was the constant pressure put on by Shazier. Earlier this week, Urban Meyer said he's one of the best blitzers around, and Shazier made his coach sound very smart vs. Purdue.
