The shark barrier is back at Coogee Beach despite the state government's refusal to stump up the cash to co-fund the project.
City of Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett said the barrier received an "overwhelmingly positive" response from the community during last summer's initial four-month trial.
- Cockburn wants shark barrier despite no attacks
Despite its initial success, the shark barrier's future was in doubt after the state government declined to contribute to the $85,000 a year price tag.
But the council last month voted to fund the barrier on a three-year trial basis and reinstallation began Tuesday morning.
City of Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett said the barrier made people feel safer.
"It's evident that the barrier attracted people to enjoy our beach from both within and outside Cockburn," he said.
No shark attacks have been reported at Coogee Beach but other shark reports prompted action from the council.
"While WA's beaches are some of our best natural assets, recent incidences in our waters have created concern for some beach goers who are looking for a safe alternative to continue to enjoy our beautiful beach lifestyle," Mayor Howlett said.
"The eco-shark barrier provides that alternative. By agreeing to the three year trial and funding the re-installation of the barrier, the City of Cockburn has led the way in providing a safe ocean swimming environment for the Perth beach goers," he said.

I want to preface this by letting you guys know this isn't a sad post. Yes, it's about my little brother who died less than six months ago. Yes, this is our first Christmas without him. But, this is my fondest Christmas memory that also involves him. I needed to do this for myself, and I thought I would share with the people who seem to get the craziness that goes on in my noggin. So, without further ado….
Dreaming of a White Christmas
1983, the last time I remember seeing snow so high it reached my waist….
"Allison! Allison! Get up! Santa's been here!" Matthew had called from the bedroom door. He'd kept his voice down to whisper, just in case Mom and Dad had already been awake. After all, someone had to make sure Santa got his cookies. Matthew had been really adamant about that.
"Get up! We have presents!"
He'd dragged the covers off of me even before I'd peeled my eyes open. I'd told him to stop and rolled back over in the bed. He wasn't even supposed to be in my room. That had been the rule.
Eventually, he'd managed to get me out of bed.
At seven years old, I should've been as excited as my three year old brother, but he'd been the one to see the presents, not me.
He'd grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my room. I'd padded behind him, Strawberry Shortcake gown beating around my ankles. The rough feet of his footed jumper scratched against the dark brown carpet of the living room.
The moment the flickering, colorful lights of the Christmas tree and the spread of toys came into view, I'd found his same enthusiasm.
Mommy and Daddy hadn't woken up yet, but we'd already started playing with our new toys—Barbies and over-sized dump trucks, GI Joe men and a giant Rainbow Bright doll. It was amazing.
Eventually Mom and Dad woke up, and they had to pry us away from our toys to make us eat breakfast. My brother and I scarfed down the food. It was probably oatmeal or maybe bacon and eggs, I can't remember that part. I do however, distinctly remember seeing all the bright white light coming in from behind the tree after mom had opened the curtains.
We opened the presents and took a million pictures. Mom still has those pictures, but back in that time, people didn't have digital cameras and computers. Most of those pictures were taken with an old Polaroid, and unfortunately, I don't have time to scan them all in to share.
But I digress.
Once we'd opened out presents and donned our thick coats, Daddy had taken us outside to build our snowman. I remember it being so cold outside it made my nose burn, and Mom kept saying we needed to come in before we got sick, but we had to finish our snowman.
It had all the bells and whistles—three huge balls of snow for the body, coal for the eyes and mouths, one of those tacky trucker's hats because every house seemed to have an abundance of those back in the 80s, and one ratty old scarf so Frosty wouldn't get cold. Frosty lived a long life… a whole three days before the sun melted him into a small mound of mush and coal and disregarded clothes.
I'm sure there have been more white Christmas's since then, but that one stuck with me. Maybe because that had been the first one Matthew had been old enough to drag me out of bed. Maybe the snowman made it special. I couldn't honestly say, but this Christmas, that memory will stay with me.
This Christmas, I'll be dreaming of snowmen, and Santa Clause, and my little brother dragging me out of bed to open presents….
Now, for the fun stuff…

THE America's Cup win of 1983 gave Australia one of its great moments in the sun but the defence was going to cost a motza. The prime minister famously stayed up all night at the Royal Perth Yacht Club to watch the final race and it still inspired Bob Hawke by 1984.
In a letter dated May 14, 1984, Hawke wrote to the then West Australian premier, Brian Burke, about giving the fullest co-operation between the three levels of government.
Hawke used a pen to strike the typed words ''Dear Mr Burke'' and scrawled the word ''Brian''. The letter continued: ''Let me assure you that I have not forgotten the sense of jubilation and achievement that I personally shared with all Australians on that dramatic day when the challenge of Australia II reached its victorious culmination.''
On July 30, 1984, cabinet agreed to spend up to $30 million helping with costs associated with the 1987 defence, including the purchase of Australia II from the entrepreneur Alan Bond. He wanted $2 million for the yacht.
In a submission, the finance minister, John Dawkins, who was West Australian, warned: ''Some sectors of the community may criticise the Commonwealth contribution in terms of priority as against social welfare expenditure. This can be answered by reference to the wider economic stimulus and employment creation that will occur.''
The treasurer, Paul Keating, had intended rejecting tax deductibility of donations to the 1987 defence, and cabinet refused to run a Commonwealth lottery to raise funds for the yacht race.
However, cabinet allowed defending syndicates to receive grants equal to sales tax and customs duties relating to the defence of the cup. The America's Cup was taken home in 1987. Australia II went on exhibit at the Australian National Maritime Museum, the establishment of which was approved by cabinet the same day it agreed to give $30 million to the defence. The yacht was transferred to Fremantle in 2000.

Faith & the Bible's infallibility
In her Feb. 20 letter "The Bible is infallible," Maris Sanner writes that "The Bible has more bibliographical support than classical literature from Homer, Aristotle and Shakespeare." That is no doubt true, but it is meaningless in regard to the argument being made.
Bibliographic support only refers to references in other works. Simply referring to or commenting on Biblical passages may earn a bibliographic citation, but in and of itself, it doesn't denote truth or fallacy. There are thousands of bibliographic references to and about Sherlock Holmes, but that doesn't make the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle any less fictional.
Sanner also makes a point that Greek and Roman scholars researched every word of the Bible, as if that should be evidence of the Bible's infallibility. The fact that anyone studies anything proves nothing. The Greeks and Romans obsessively researched the heavens, yet still concluded that the sun revolves around the earth.
Mentioning Simon Greenleaf hardly helped her argument. Greenleaf was not an atheist, but a faithful Christian. And Greenleaf never said his 1847 work Testimony of the Evangelists was conceived as an attempt to refute the Gospels. Greenleaf did write A Treatise on the Law of Evidence in 1846 and it was used as a textbook. But its usefulness was rendered negligible in the early 1900s by the work of John Henry Wigmore. Sanner's reference to Greenleaf as "the world's greatest evidence expert" certainly is questionable.
I have no facts or evidence to conclusively state that the Bible is not infallible, as Sanner does not have the facts or evidence to conclusively state that it is infallible. This is one reason why religious belief is called "faith." My experience is if a person has faith, then that is enough to give strength to the serenity that comes with belief.
Ill constructed and poorly researched arguments only serve those who question the existence of faith.

Western Caribeean - Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Belize: Carnival Miracle Cruise Review by jgknascar
Overall Member Rating
Western Caribeean - Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Belize
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation: We took a taxi from the hotel to the Port and it took about 15 minutes to get there and unload our luggage. We went right through security, upstairs and had our documents by 11:00am. We sat for about 1/2 an hour and they started to board us. We were on the ship a little before noon. We went up to the LIDO grill and had lunch then explored the ship. We obtained access to our room about 1:00pm and dropped off our carry-on items. Luggage arrived around 2:30pm. Went to muster drill about 3:45pm. Went back to room to get rid of life jackets and went back up on deck for sail away. More
Dining: Only problem we experienced was they had us booked for late dinner and that doesn't work for my wife as she is a diabetic. They changed us to the 5:45pm dinner time. We were at table 346 and Joseph was our waiter and Sirenta was his assistant. We ate every night in the Dining Room except one. The second formal night we ate on the LIDO deck as we didn't want to have to get dressed up. We ate breakfast and lunch most days in the Bacchus Dining Room. We liked being waited on and not having to stand in line. We did eat in Horatio's several times for breakfast and lunch, but found we liked the Dining Room better. Service in both dining areas was very good. Entertainment: We checked our Capers every day to find out what was going on for the day. Used a highlighter to mark the things we wanted to see and do everyday. You can do as much as you want or as little as you want every day. We enjoyed the contests on LIDO deck by the pool as it is amazes me how people will let themselves go when they are away from home. We really enjoyed the shows at night and the Beatles tribute was great.
Service: We had very good service in the dining room and our cabin was always clean and always had the ice bucket filled for us. Service around the ship was very good, too. Found that most of the staff had a smile and a hello for you when we were walking around the ship. Of course it helps if you're pleasant to them, too.
Shore Excursions: We booked our Panama Canal tour and our Costa Rica tour through the ship. In Panama we took a tour of the canal and it was well worth the money we paid. We took a bus to Panama City on the Pacific Coast and boarded a small ferry that took us through 2 of the locks. It was very interesting watching them raise and lower the large ocean vessels through the locks. They showed us where they are building the new locks so that the big ocean liners and cargo ships can go through the locks instead of going around South America then back up to Central America. In Costa Rica we took a River and Banana Plantation tour. We saw monkeys, three toe and two toe sloths, AntEaters, many, many different species of birds and crocodiles. It was a very interesting trip. We went through a banana plantation then they took us to a banana plant where they prepare the bananas for transport to US. It was quite interesting. We'd been to Belize before so we took a tender to shore and shopped and then went back to the ship and had the pool and hot tub pretty much to ourselves. Really quiet back on the ship.
Disembarkation: We had a 1:30pm flight out of Fort Lauderdale back to Michigan. Our number was called and we were off the ship by 9:30am and took taxi to airport and arrived about 10:00am. Plenty of time to catch our flight. We are already booked for an April cruise on the Carnival Liberty for an Eastern Caribbean 8 night cruise. Less

Ten new forty-five minute episodes have been commissioned. Ben Stephenson, Controller Drama Commissioning, said, "Merlin continues to perform outstandingly well against X Factor and offers audiences an alternative treat on Saturday nights. I'm pleased to confirm that the magical world of Camelot will be returning next year for a fourth series of this fresh and modern retelling of a classic British legend." Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy, executive producers for Shine TV, said, "We are both delighted with the continuing success of Merlin, and relish the chance to take the series to the next level with the long-awaited arrival of the Knights of the Round Table." Season 3 of Merlin is currently airing with the finale scheduled to air on BBC One December 4. Syfy has already announced it will air those episodes here in the United States beginning in early 2011 and we can only hope they will pick up season four as well. Is everyone else excited to know there will be more Merlin, this time with the Knights of the Round Table?

TQ Anonymous I like this series so it's all well and good to know that it season four is coming but what I'd really like to know is WHEN?????? diane this series has to be one of the best i've ever seen for excellent casting, Sets, plots, atmosphere, etc. I refuse to go anywhere whenever an episode of this is playing, even though I tape it for future viewing. I feel like i know these characters as they have tremendous depth–especially Merlin & Gwaine. Thanks writers for the humerous dialogue, actually thanks for all of the dialogue as it seems so real and believable. And filmed in a real castle–amazing!! Jasonpyktel Omg I am so excited totally looking forward to the new season 4 coming totally freaking awesome love the series. Baboo Aww ! But when !?

Rates include breakfast and private butler service.
If you're stuck for something to do – unlikely, we'll admit – the Life centre takes all the hassle out of arranging island tours, snorkeling trips, Thai cookery classes or just borrowing a DVD for the night. There's a construction site near the resort, so you might hear the odd spot of drilling.
Spa, watersports centre, gym, boutique, butler service, wine cellar, library, speedboat. In rooms: TV, DVD/CD player, iPod dock, free WiFi, minibar, fridge.
Nab yourself a Pool Villa so you can splash about in your own private pool and dry off on your sun-deck. The higher up the hillside you go, the better the view, so ask for villa number five if you're after postcard panoramas. To minimise bedroom-to-beach travel time, go for villas 43 or 42, which are situated right on the water. Plush Ocean Front Pool Villa Suite 38 also comes recommended – it's got some delightfully shady trees ornamenting the sun-deck.
A bamboo-lined wooden walkway leads to a huge aquamarine infinity pool with a row of ocean-view day-beds and vast white parasols.
Insect repellent is a must – creepy crawlies come out at night.
All villas are assigned a private butler to look after each guest's wishes and whims. There's a minimum seven-night stay between 22 December and 7 January.
Welcome. Extra beds (THB 3,500 a night for over-12s) and cots (free) are available. Babysitting can be arranged for THB350 an hour, and the restaurant provides a children's menu.
Head straight for table 99 at Dining on the Rocks – it's set on its own private terrace and has a backdrop built for proposals, indecent or otherwise.
Loose, laid-back and lightly linened.
Dining on the Hill on the sunset side of Six Senses offers a classic Thai menu in an open-air pavilion. Book ahead at Dining on the Rocks – nine terraces down to the sea – it attracts gourmands from all over the island with its ingenious fusion fare.
Each restaurant has an elegant cocktail bar attached – Drinks on the Rocks for pre-prandial aperitifs and Drinks on the Hill for frozen cocktails and a jazzy Café del Mar-style soundtrack. There are also regular tastings at Wines on the Hill.
10.30pm for food in the restaurants; the bar stays open until there's no one left to serve.
You can dine in-villa 24 hours a day on an assortment of Thai and international dishes.
The resort is an easy and scenic 15-minute drive from Samui International Airport. Private airport transfer can be arranged at THB 700 per car for 1 or 2 persons, one way; or THB 1,050 per minivan for a maximum of 5 persons, one way.
First, we retoxed. Hong Kong seemed as good a place as any, but by God, after five days, it hurt. Next, we detoxed, classic Koh Samui-style, at an ashram run by a harridan who, with a cursory scoot around any genealogy site, would confirm her close kinship with Mrs McCluskey. Then, after a week living cheek-by-jowl with ten colonic addicts, we decided we each needed some devoted MEtoxing, and within seconds of arriving at Six Senses Samui we knew there couldn't be anywhere else in the world that could cater so stylishly to our chosen art of shameless self-indulgence.
It was, however, an inauspicious start. This five-star Thai paragon of pared-down Asian luxury is located right at the end of a scrubby-looking lane. Passing the Little Mermaid bar and café, under-construction towns, stray mutts, birdcages swinging in the wind with no avian life inside, and a '3 miles to the airport' sign, I admit we were a little glum. The looks on our faces were rewritten as we pulled up at Six Senses' enormous open-air reception. Instantly we knew we were somewhere special, and the chilled lemongrass-wrapped cloth, and legendary Thai welcome, wiped away memories of the journey there.
Nam Phung announced herself as our designated butler, and said she'd be happy to be reached on her mobile 24-7. She's the kinda girl you'd want in your gang – drop dead gorgeous (those lips!), smart and super on-it. Flashing a wicked smile, she said, 'My name translates as "honey", but like calling your child Pretty, you're asking for trouble. I'm anything but sweet.' What an intro.
She buggied us to our villa where, in the bedroom, the Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds was drifting over the speakers. Now, I like having my chakras meddled with with the best of them, but I've never been seriously down with a sixth sense. Until now. The last time I was in Thailand, 15 years ago, I finished my holiday at a full moon party on Kho Pha Ngan, raving to that very song as the sun rose. And right opposite us, taking centre stage in the breathtaking 270-degree ocean panorama was Kho Pha Ngan itself. Too bonkers. It was good to be back, but even better to be here on Samui in our luxury hideaway, leaving the gap year nu ravers do their thing over in KPN.
The resort is built on a hillside, and as you buggy about you feel like you're on a winding rural road - no signs of life, save a few linen-clad butlers ghosting around, tending to residents' every need. At the top of the hill are the restaurants and shops, and one of the best infinity pools I've ever splashed about in. At the bottom is the resort's private beach and where we spent our afternoons,when the gentle azure ripples wash over you at 80 degrees.
The two-tier villas themselves, though styled as traditional Thai fisherman's cottages, feel more like giant, grown-up treehouses, and are built from sustainable materials and reclaimed wood. (The commitment to the enviroment at Six Senses is serious, but not in-your-face). Steps lead us down to a private sundeck, where two recliners beckoned, and a welcome shaded area with a fan to cool you down. And boy do you need that fan. Next time, we'd get a villa with its own infinity pool.
Every last detail has been painstakingly thought through, though nothing yells out at you – it's all quietly fabulous. You get the feeling that at the end of the fit-out, the designer sat back and sighed, 'Ah, this is the one where I got everything just right'. The wall art (like giant backlit Skips crisps), the light over the bath resembling a huge illuminated bird's nest, the moulded, aged copper basins and exposed pipes, the enormous rough-hewn limestone floor tiles, the central bed with wraparound windows – every inch is a delight.
And everything makes you feel just that little bit frisky. These really are hideaways, so no one's going to see you cavorting around in the buff. Inside, the huge bath for two, surrounded by slatted wooden shutters, is seriously sexy. The double outdoor rain showers are sexy. Damn, even the bowl of bath salts with dried pieces of lemongrass and ginger are sexy. But seemingly not sexy enough for everyone. We overheard a Russian couple asking if they could be sent any leftover petals from a wedding taking place on the beach (we're not talking St Lucia, here – this marrying pair were French, in their swimmers, gorgeous, and on their own). We saw them the next morning at breakfast (not looking their freshest, it has to be said), waxing lyrical about how they arrived back to the freshest petals floating on the surface of their gigantic bath as well as five perfect arrangements of exotic blooms, and champagne on ice. Pah, whatever, they didn't arrive back to a firefly flickering about on high in their room... It doesn't get more romantic than that.
Back to breakfast – it's bigger and fresher than any other place either of us has stayed. As is the food served at Six Senses' restaurants, all with breathtaking views, the best being Dining On the Rocks – where, on a giant sundown deck, you can chow your way through a 10-course degustation menu with carefully selected wines. Exquisite.
But there's only so much 'exquisite' we could acclimatise to. We needed some disorder, so we flicked through the extensive list of excursions and activities, and found they offer a trip to Kho Pha Ngan, to a full moon party. We looked at each other for a moment, not sure if the other would be up for it, then giggled, yelped and got straight on the phone to Nam Phung. I was practically hyperventilating when she answered. 'Hi Mr Richard, what can I do for you?' she said. 'Take me back to my past,' I replied, 'take me back to ho Pha Ngan'. 'I'm sorry,' came the reply, 'it's not for another two weeks.' We sat down on the bed bereft, saying nothing. 10 minutes later we were over it, rang up the spa and placed orders for a coning and a cupping. After all, who the hell would ever want to go through a detox again?
Everything. Great villas. Awesome pool. Probably the best food you will find outside of Bangkok.
Noisy kids, this is a kid free zone (hopefully)

Data collected from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for natural gas and oil activity in Ohio has shown a virtual increase in four stages of the process, from the number of wells with permits, number of wells in the process of being drilled, number of wells with drilling completed, number of wells producing and percent of activity in the each of 21 counties in relation to the total number of well sites.
To date, 21 counties in northeastern and southeastern Ohio have been discovered by the gas and oil industry because they are setting on top of the Marcellus and/or Utica shale formations. Both are important geologic formations because they hold large reserves of natural gas. Experts say the Marcellus in Ohio covers a very thin strip along its eastern border. But, the state is positioned to cash in on the Utica's bounty of "wet gas," which covers about at least half of the state. Wet gas contains the components for both natural gas and oil production.
In June of 2012, when the first GAS&OIL magazine was published, 19 counties had 237 wells (combined) in at least one stage of the process. Listed by drilling activity and the number of well sites in each county in June: Carroll, 78; Columbiana, 34; Jefferson, 25; Monroe, 21; Harrison, 12; Belmont, 10; Stark, 10; Mahoning, 9; Guernsey, 7; Noble, 7; Portage, 7; Tuscarawas, 5; Muskingum, 3; Coshocton, 2; Trumbull, 2; Knox, 2; to Geauga, Ashland, Medina and Wayne with one site for a total of 237 wells in various stages of the process.
As of Sept. 9, 2012, the number of counties increased to 21 with the addition of Holmes and Wayne counties (with no previous well sites) bringing the total number of well sites in at least one stage of activity to 375, a 58 percent increase since the magazine's first issue.
Current number of wells and percent (increase or decrease) in each of the 21 counties from June 2012 to Sept. 9, 2012:
Carroll, 139 well sites, 78 percent increase
Columbiana, 51 well sites, 50 percent increase
Harrison, 33 well sites, 175 percent increase
Jefferson, 28 well sites, 12 percent increase
Guernsey, 24 well sites, 242 percent increase
Monroe, 17 well sites, 23 percent decrease
Stark, 13 well sites, 30 percent increase
Mahoning, 13 well sites, 44 percent increase
Noble, 12 well sites, 71 percent increase
Belmont, 12 well sites, no increase or decrease
Portage, 10 well sites, 42 percent increase
Tuscarawas, 7 well sites, 40 percent increase
Coshocton, 5 well sites, 150 percent increase
Muskingum, 3 well sites, no increase or decrease
Trumbull, 2 well sites, no increase or decrease
Knox, 2 well sites, no increase or decrease
Geauga, 1 well site, 100 percent increase (no previous activity)
Ashland, 1 well site, 100 percent increase (no previous activity)
Medina, 1 well site, 100 percent increase (no previous activity)
Wayne, 1 well site, 100 percent increase (no previous activity)
this will be great for the companies drilling but what has the employment results been from this and where are hey disposing the waste polluted water plus the state of Ohio is taking in PA's waste water - so how long till health problems arise and who will be responsible - we have already found out up by Youngstown where they were injecting the waste water back in the earth caused earth quakes
Don't take me wrong I am for the drilling but what precautions are we taking state wide or will it just benefit the oil companies and the state in new revenue - government looks at the money for now and not looking into the future - that has been the problem with the state and federal revenue - GIVE IT TO THE NEXT GENERATION

Last week I posted on the leak of the draft notice from the Trump Administration on the NAFTA renegotiation, which identifies at least 40 issues, will serve as the starting point for discussions once talks begin. The post unpacked some of the general language to decipher what the U.S. has in mind on intellectual property issues. This second post examines some of the digital issues that U.S. officials have indicated will form a key part of the updated trade agreement.

Gallops Report
The Gallops report for Wednesday, December 26 has news from Nicky Henderson in Lambourn.
Last Updated: 26/12/12 12:12pm
Nicky Henderson mounts a strong challenge to day two of the Kempton Christmas meeting and his horses engaged in light work this morning including FRENCH OPERA who looks ready for his belated return to the fray in the Peterborough Chase.
Although he can only be a bit-part player to stablemate SPRINTER SACRE in the two-mile conditions chases, the nine-year-old tackles two and a half miles in the race rescheduled from Huntingdon and seems in very good order.
ONE LUCKY LADYM shaped well on her reappearance three weeks ago and is a name to conjure with in a mares' handicap hurdle where the emphasis is on stamina.
PRINCE OF PIRATES was a beaten favourite on his own reappearance but has worked and schooled satisfactorily since then.
VASCO DU RONCERAY is poised for a return to the track after he seemed to empty at the end of a race at Doncaster.
SIMONSIG has taken his Ascot exertions in his stride although such was his supremacy on that spectacular chasing debut that he could happily have gone round again and sauntered home on the bridle.
His attacking style was a joy to watch and connections have a red-hot Arkle favourite on their hands if he can follow up at Kempton on Thursday.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
He doesn't like my style of managing and that if I don't acquiesce to his style of management, we need to part ways. I have been managing people throughout my entire 30 yr professional career. This is his first-ever experience of being the "head" of any business. He is in his mid-30's and I have tried to share my vast amount of business experience with him but he simply rejects it most of the time. This is NOT an ego play for me for I have never given much focus and attention to titles from a narcissistic viewpoint. There is simply a distinct difference in business philosophy and level of business aptitude between us and after 4-years of trying to bridge that gap, I am finally throwing in the towel so to speak.
Actually it's the other way around. He has stated that he will try to find someone that would be interested in "buying me out." However, he is simply focused on the $250k that I brought to the table to begin with. He gives no consideration to what I have established and accomplished throughout the 4-years thus far. I am the one who developed the sales process and trained and mentored the entire sales personnel. 95% of our revenue is generated from a service/program fee that our clients pay us on a quarterly basis. These are 36-month contracts that are auto-renewable. The monthly revenue established from our 1700+ clients is approximately $230k mo.
The ultimatum was stated distinctly and clearly which was simply change your management style to mirror mine or we need to part ways (translation: you need to leave). He is reckless and dangerous with his decisions. We are currently dealing with a huge IRS issue for unbeknownst to me, he made the decision to not submit our payroll tax payments for over a year (2012) and used that money to pay bills. The amount is over $200k that is owed to the IRS. He has put me and my family in personal peril which is unforgivable. We are working through an IRS tax attorney now to rectify the situation but this gives you an idea of why I am simply ready to move on.
He would absolutely be opposed is my guess but this is exactly what I would want and believe to be fair. Forgive my ignorance but I have no idea how this would play out since we are a non-profit organization. Does this even weigh into the matter? Would the established and sustained revenue from our client contracts be the sole focus as it relates to what is a fair quote unquote "buy out?" Is the focus simply on the trademark and logo that I own 50% of as well?
In reference to the by-laws, I'm not certain. However, I would simply need access to all the legal docs which shouldn't be too much of a problem for me to get. However, let's go ahead and say that there is nothing in the by-laws regarding dispute resolution.
No, we have a fairly sizable BOD with 9-members.
I'm not certain. My partner has basically hand-picked the BOD. These are good, influential people but he most definitely "owns" the relationships with all of them. If we were to involve the BOD then there is alot of information that would need to be disclosed that would not shine a bright light on him. I'm not sure that his argument in wanting me to change my management style to be conducive to his vision of establishing a specific company culture would sway majority agreement by the board. He will need to state the facts as they are with respect that he simply doesn't agree with my blunt way of developing and challenging personnel. I would then be tasked with explaining the additional challenges he placed on the entire organization with respect to how he has mismanaged the company finances. I don't think this is going to be a win-win for either party. Again, I am not wanting this to end up in a bitter dispute nor morph into a revenge type scenario. There are some really good. solid, loyal to the mission personnel that I have personally developed that I do not wish to become collateral damage. At the end of the day, it should always be about the mission itself which I would not want to hurt. However, I cannot just play nice and go away quietly without reasonable compensation. It's hard to focus 100% on the humanitarian mission when my first and foremost responsibility is the welfare of my family. A sticky situation indeed.

FORT HOOD — No soldier will ever again enter the site of the worst mass shooting on a military installation. Building 42003, where Nidal Hasan opened fire on soldiers four years ago as they prepared for deployment, will be torn down, said Brian Dosa, director of Fort Hood's Directorate of Public Works.
The building, part of the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, sits in a cluster with four other buildings and all have remained mostly untouched since the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting. The area was fenced off and considered an active crime scene for years, pending the sentencing of the shooter. In August, Hasan was found guilty and sentenced to death.
"The plan now that the court-martial is over, is to take those five buildings and return them to SRP, with the exception of ... Building 42003," Dosa said. "That one is going to be demolished. The other four — we've got a project that's going to go forward and clean those buildings up and do any work that needs to be done."
There are a few bullet holes, but otherwise, they are in decent shape, he said.
Shawn Manning, who was shot six times inside Building 42003, said he wants the building demolished.
"I can't imagine still using it as a building after the fact," he said. "I hope they do some sort of memorial or something to turn the space into more of a positive space."
Dosa said there is no current plan on what exactly will replace the demolished building, which sits in the back right corner of the cluster from Battalion Avenue. He is hoping to finalize a contract this month for the demolition and the cleaning of the other four buildings. Since the shooting, none has been touched, with the exception of the one closest to Howze Theater, which was opened up for legal teams during the court-martial.
The other three buildings are exactly as they were the afternoon of Nov. 5, 2009, Dosa said. Vaccines still fill refrigerators, employees' personal items remain at their desks, and computers sit collecting dust.
Manning said he was carrying his medical records and passport that day, and didn't get them returned until after the court-martial ended in August. The folder had blood stains.
The five medical buildings of the processing center were open just months before the shooting occurred, Dosa said. Prior to 2009, medical processing was done in Ironhorse Physical Fitness Center. It was returned to the gym after the shooting. The bulk of processing is done in the Soldier's Dome.
Dosa said he's been working since the end of the trial to finalize plans for the site, but funding challenges have slowed the process.
Once medical processing returns to the remaining four buildings, Ironhorse gym will be renovated to the Army's latest standards.
"Of all gyms on post, it's in the worst shape," Dosa said. "Parts of it are not even air-conditioned. ... It will probably be easily a year to a year plus to be opened as a physical fitness center again."
As for the space left behind by Building 42003, Dosa said a building will not be put there. Instead, there are talks of a green space.
"Everything surrounding those buildings and the shooting is very sensitive and (plans are) being vetted with senior leaders," he said.

text: Does anyone know the part number needed for the TT linkage for the A3 shorter shift mod? I called Martyn at Vag parts yesterday and there is four different ones. It is only going to cost £13 - 14 + VAT and £3 delivery. It should reduce the front and back through by 20%, which isn't bad for the money /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Baptist Briefs
- November 30, 2007
- By John Rutledge
Baptist Briefs
Florida Baptists adopt alcohol abstinence policy. Messengers to the Florida Baptist State Convention annual meeting overwhelmingly approved a bylaw revision requiring all trustee nominees to sign a pledge that they will abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages and using any other recreational drugs. The bylaw revision on alcohol abstentionproposed by the Florida State Board of Missionspassed with few dissenting votes. The abstinence provision resulted from a pledge announced by Executive Director John Sullivan at the Florida convention's 2006 annual meeting. Reacting to a prolonged debate at the 2006 Southern Baptist Convention over the use of beverage alcohol, Sullivan said he was "embarrassed" by the protracted discussion and wanted to clarify Florida Baptists' position on the issue. Messengers to the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention annual meeting passed a similar measure binding on its staff and elected officials.
Kentucky Baptists hear 'troubling' report on spiritual maturity. Messengers to the Kentucky Baptist Convention's annual meeting heard a sobering report on the theological views of average Kentucky Baptists. Scott McConnell, associate director of LifeWay Christian Resources' research department, presented findings from a study on the level of spiritual maturity and discipleship among Kentucky Baptists. Describing some of the findings as "troubling," McConnell said only 49 percent of respondents disagreed with the "heretical statement" that "Christians must continually work toward their salvation or risk losing it" and only 45 percent disagreed with the statement that "if a person is sincerely seeking God, he or she can obtain eternal life through religions other than Christianity."
Alabama Baptists adopt record budget. In a quiet annual meeting, messengers to the Alabama Baptist State adopted a record budget and re-elected their officers. Messengers adopted a base budget of $44,585,000 for next year. The total is a 1.5 percent increase over this year's budget, with a challenge budget of $1 million more.
Administrator of Baptist communicators Association dies. Keith Beene, 40-year-old administrator of a professional society for Baptist communications professionals, died unexpectedly Nov. 16. The cause of death had not been determined. Beene worked part-time as the association's only paid employee. The body is a professional-development organization for public-relations professionals, journalists and designers who work for Baptist organizations. Beene is survived by his wife, Ellen; a son, Erik, 9; and daughter, Miranda, 5.
Former SBC President Dehoney dies. Wayne Dehoney, president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1964 to 1966, died Nov. 15 at a health and rehabilitation center in Louisville, Ky. He was 89. He was pastor of Walnut Street Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky., from 1967 to 1985. In addition to the SBC's presidency, Dehoney served as a member of the SBC Executive Committee and the former Christian Life Commission; and as a trustee chairman at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. He also served as a professor of evangelism and preaching at Southern Seminary. Dehoney was preceded in death by his wife, Lealice, on Oct. 23 of this year. He is survived by two daughters and a son, Rebecca Richardson, Katherine Evitts and William Dehoney; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

True glow red dot
I was given a true glow 2x42 red dot sight yesterday. I want to put it on my WASR 10 AK-47 but I do not know what type of mount will work on them. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.
You can order bolt covers with a rail installed on it from many
suppliers, J&G, Sarcoinc, and Midway, to name a couple.
You just pull your old cover, pop on the new one, and
You want to make sure either the fit is tight,
or you do something to snug it up, for best accuracy.

It has always returned to zero just fine for me. Here is a tip (I would suggest searching for the YouTube video where I saw this) when I got mine I backed the bottom screw out several turns. When you install it and lock the lever it clamps down on the side optic rail. You want it to fit snug but not bend out of shape. I backed mine out and it was still plenty tight (never had an issue with over 250 rounds). So just a word of advice, make sure your screw is backed out and adjusted properly, because of the way it is designed it needs to be removed prior to cleaning and if it's constantly placed on the rifle I can see it wearing prematurely. Just my opinion. The pic below is the screw I'm referring to.
No problem, glad I could help. Let me know how things turn out.

I got faster shipping.
I like it looks cool I'm just waiting for money day. Some say it is a little bent at times but barely and you can either bend it or just sight the red dot more is this true ?

We describe the electronic control of extraordinary terahertz transmission through subwavelength metal hole arrays fabricated on doped semiconductor substrates. The hybrid metal-semiconductor forms a Schottky diode structure, where the active depletion region modifies the substrate conductivity in real-time by applying an external voltage bias. This enables effective control of the resonance enhanced terahertz transmission. Our proof of principle device achieves an intensity modulation depth of 52% by changing the voltage bias between 0 and 16 volts. Further optimization may result in improvement of device performance and practical applications. This approach can be also translated to the other optical frequency ranges.
