Industry Overview
Limousine and town car services companies basically engaged in providing an array of specialty and luxury passenger transportation services via limousine or other luxury sedans, usually on a reserved basis.
A report recently released by IBSWORLD indicated that the Limousine and Town Car Services industry has shifted up a gear as the economy continues to recover from the worst recession in nearly a century. The report further stated that the industry has been helped by growing per capita disposable income and rising consumer confidence; leading many consumers to, once again, spend on luxury car services rather than less expensive alternatives, such as taxis.
They projected that in the coming years, the industry is set to expand as improved demand will give operators a chance to upgrade their services to seek higher profit margins. The Limousine and Town Car Services industry has experienced remarkable growth of the years in the united states.
The growth of the US economy has indeed directly benefited the industry as business expense accounts have grown and clients have been more willing to spend on small luxuries such as taxi and limousine rides. In addition, increased demand from corporate travelers, tourists and private households is expected to result in steady growth for this industry.
The Limousine and Town Car Services industry is indeed a very thriving industry in most countries of the world. It is a major sector of the economy of the United States and it generates a whooping sum of well over $11 billion annually from more than 190,832 registered and licensed limousine and town car services companies scattered all around the United States of America.
The industry is responsible for the employment of well over 239,153 people (professional drivers and administrative staff members). Experts project the industry to grow at a 4.1 percent annual rate. There is no establishment in this industry that has a dominant market share in the United States.
Entrepreneurs who are considering entering the Limousine and Town Car Services industry face moderate entry barriers. The revenue generated by establishments in this industry depends largely on consumer and corporate spending levels, so potential entrants must be able to handle extended periods of low growth if consumer and corporate confidence in the economy falls.
Even though the labor and property resources needed to enter this industry are by no means scarce, start-up costs ranges from moderate to high. This is due to the fact that most operators are small and as a result not able to achieve significant economies of scale.
Over and above, limousine and town car services businesses in most parts of the world are still enjoying good patronage particularly if they have professional drivers, good customer care services and if they are well positioned and if they know how to reach out to their target market (celebrities, wedding and event planners, film markets, music videos producers, corporate organizations, hotels, travels and tours companies, government and household et al).

SWOT Analysis
Limousine and town car services business is one of the many businesses that can easily generate sales with little stress as long as they are well positioned and equipped to carry out their services. We are building a standard limousine and town car services business with the plans to sell our franchise all across the United States of America and Canada which is why we have decided to subject our business idea (company) to SWOT Analysis.
Ordinarily we can successfully run a normal limousine and town car services business without the stress of going through the required protocol of setting up a new business including writing a detailed business plan, but because of the fact that we intend becoming of the leaders in this line of business we want to establish, we don't have any option other than to follow due process.
We hired the services of Dr. Peter Snowball an HR and Business consultant with bias in startups to help us conduct SWOT analysis for our company and he did a pretty job for us. Here is a preview of the result we got from the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Comfy Limousine Services®, Inc.;
- Strength:
The strategic locations we intend covering, the Business model we will be operating on, ease of payment, wide range of highly reliable and comfortable cars, limousines and SUVs, highly trained and courteous chauffeurs and of course our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for Comfy Limousine Services®, Inc.
So also we have a well – experienced and qualified team that can go all the way to give our clients value for their money; a team that are trained and equipped to pay attention to details.
- Weakness:
A major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new limousine and town car services company and we don't have the financial capacity for now to compete with multi – million dollars limousine and town car services companies that are already influencing the direction of the industry especially in a city like Los Angeles that can boast of accommodating the highest numbers of celebrities in the world.
- Opportunities:
The fact that we are launching out in Los Angeles, city that is home to entertainment hubs such as Disneyland, and Universal Studios Hollywood et al, provides us with unlimited opportunities to market our services to a large number of celebrities, corporate organizations, travel and tours agencies, hotels, government organizations and households et al.
We have been able to conduct thorough feasibility studies and market survey and we know what our potential clients will be looking for when they patronize our services; we are well positioned to take on the opportunities that will come our way.
- Threat:
Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is economic downturn. It is a fact that economic downturn affects purchasing / spending power especially for luxury services like limousine services.
Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of a new taxi limousine and town car services company with same locations where we operate. Government policies can also pose a major threat to businesses such as ours.
- Market Trends
The market for luxury services such as limousine services is driven by the growth in the economy and the increase in consumers' spending – in essence, as the general economy of a country grows, more people will have enough financial resources to patronize luxury services such as hiring limousines and other luxury car as against making use of public buses, and trains et al.
Besides, revenue generated by limousine services company is driven by business and leisure travel. No doubt, the profitability of operators in this industry depends on good marketing and networking. As a matter of fact, small limousine and town car services companies can effectively compete with large ones because there are few economies of scale in this line of business.
Research shows that the limousine and town car services industry in the US is fragmented: the top 50 companies account for less than 35 percent of the total revenue generated in the industry.
Lastly, technology has indeed played a major role in this industry; especially in cutting cost and enforcing safety and monitoring measure. GPS car tracking device readily comes to mind. There is hardly any limousine and town car services company that does not have GOS car tracker installed on all their cars. It helps them in monitoring their fleets and also in planning and budgeting et al.

Blackjack Basic Strategy for Playing Pairs
Blackjack basic strategy is a mathematically proven guide to improve a player's advantage in the game. It's usually represented in a table format with corresponding actions for a player hand and a dealer hand situation. In stead of showing a table or chart, here's the breakdown of blackjack basic strategy for playing pairs.
When playing a pair of aces or eights, it's correct to split them or play them separately. Splitting aces increases a player's chances of winning rather than drawing cards on a hand total of two when it's highly probable to draw a ten. And splitting eights reduces a player's chances of losing since standing on a 16 is risky, against the dealer rule of standing a 17.
Blackjack basic strategy for playing pairs when you get two tens (numbered or faced cards) states that it's always best to stand. As is with playing a pair of aces or a pair of eights, where one should always split regardless of what the dealer's up-card is, it's best to stand on a pair of tens whatever the dealer's up-card is too.
But in playing any other pair, decisions will depend highly on what card the dealer is showing. In each of these cases, the option is to always hit or draw unless the dealer shows specific cards.
Let's start with a pair twos and a pair of threes. If the dealer shows any card between two and seven, you should split. When you get a couple of fours, blackjack basic strategy states that you should split if the dealer's showing a five or a six. When you receive a couple of fives though, it's not advisable to split cards. In stead, it's best to double when the dealer shows any card from two to nine.
Blackjack basic strategy for splitting or otherwise hitting continues with a couple of sixes and sevens. In case of two sixes, it's best to split when the dealer shows any card from two to six. And when you get two sevens, it's best to split if the dealer shows any card from two to seven. But if you're playing a pair of nines, you must split if the dealer is showing any card from two to six and from eight to nine. But if the dealer has a seven, a ten, or an ace, it's best to stand on a couple of nines.
The splitting option is only offered when a player receives a pair. But it's not always right to split just because you can. Blackjack basic strategy for playing pairs state that you should always split on a couple of aces and eight. And you should always stand on a pair of tens. But for all the other pairs that could come up though, whether or not you should split is dependent on what face-up card the dealer has. Otherwise, it's best to draw and not to split at all.

At times it can be incredibly tedious being a senior manager, or even a director of a large company. After a lifetime of using your intellect, charm and wits to get you through the day, you suddenly find that for large chunks of the week, it is simply no longer required.
One of the biggest drags can be the constant flow of really tedious meetings. They were bad enough when you attended them from an operational point of view but to be there just to listen to somebody you hardly know bang on about a topic that does not really interest you but somehow needs your approval or support, well that is one hundred times worse! What's more – more often than not the presenters decide to keep strictly to the facts so they can pump in as much detail as possible. There's not a glimmer of fun or entertainment, just eight times one hourly intervals of information download.
Many young people believe that they live in a macho world where only wimps and underperformers need help. But nothing is further than the truth.
After sitting through presentation after presentation on just how swell all the companies projects are going and how fantastic the teams are doing, it is nice for managers, once in a while to hear a project manager say – "to be honest ladies and gentlemen we're in it a bit of a mess and we could really do with some help and advice." At the sound of the words "help and advice" immediately most senior managers come alive – 'Finally my day has some meaning, perhaps today I will go home with the feeling that I was needed and that without my advice or support the company, or a small part of it, would have been worse off?'
Senior managers, by definition, have more experience than their younger counterparts, they also have influence and access to budgets, resources and people; and yet too many think that they somehow don't want to utilize the power they have. How wrong can they be? Create a scenario where their advice or power could be vitally useful, make it real and dare I say interesting; even entertaining and you'll find the invisible keys to what you are looking for right in front of you, larger than life.
On the other hand if you keep on pretending that everything is just hunky dory, then you might be in for a shock. People who act like they can do everything on their own, eventually fall into a hole and when they do it can be very deep indeed. Because the people they need will be far away looking at their smart phones asking themselves, 'why is this guy bothering me now, he's never needed my help before?' Screw him, I am on holiday – he's a tough chap, he'll sort it out for himself!
Have a good week,

A sixty year success story
On Wednesday, 4th February 1959 Elvis Presley was at number one in the UK charts and Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister.
And in south-east London Dr Tony Deeson founded a small business producing a magazine for the customers of one client - Diners Club, the first credit card to be launched in the UK.
In the 60 years since Tony landed that initial client, the business went on to thrive as a publishing and communications agency in the 1980s and 1990s before the growth of its digital business since 2002.
The story of any successful enterprise is defined by its ability to change with the times...to be able to understand the evolving world around it and to reinvent itself to ensure it remains relevant and has a future for the long term.
The history of Deeson reflects the people that have been part of the team since 1959. From the earliest days in a rented office in Dulwich to the teams working in Castle Street and King's Cross today, the workforce who have been and are part of the Deeson story have enabled it to thrive.
The leadership of three generations of the Deeson family is a thread in that story too.
When I joined the Deeson business in 2014, I was struck by how supportive and friendly the culture was. While every organisation's ethos evolves as the people in it change over time, the values that lie at its heart stay constant - ambition, straight-talking and innate curiosity can be traced back through the business's history.
Now the next chapter in the evolution of the Deeson story is unfolding with four separate businesses taking forward the story that started 60 years ago.
The digital agency - Deeson - has joined forces with Manifesto and has a bright future as part of the technology group The Panoply.
Deeson Publishing continues to thrive as a specialist communication agency for membership organisations,
The rapid growth spin-out business from 2017 - GreenShoot Labs - focuses on how AI powered conversations can help organisations achieve their goals.
And finally Castle Street Holdings is the Canterbury-based property company that runs the 27 Castle Street office building.
The Deeson companies have seen enormous changes since 1959 - and they're looking forward to serving their clients over the next 60 years. The Deeson story continues...

Kids love to play with silly putty, and you know for a fact that it is bound to end up on your carpet. Here are a few methods that you can try and use to remove silly putty from your carpet. Remember to always test the solutions in an inconspicuous area first to avoid any damage to your carpet.
First, begin by scraping as much putty away from your carpet as possible using a spoon or dull knife. Once most of the silly putty has been removed you will need to work on the small stain that has been left behind. Begin by moistening a sponge or a small white cloth with rubbing alcohol, and the blot the affected area (If you do not have any rubbing alcohol available at home, you can try using hand sanitizer). Sometimes it may be necessary to allow the alcohol to sit on the stain for a couple minutes. Be careful not to rub the stain, rubbing might push the silly putty deeper into the carpet fibers, so it is always safe to just blot your way in from the outer edges of the stain to the center. Continue to blot the stain until all the putty has been removed. Once the putty is removed, you need to rinse the carpet, use another clean white towel dipped in cold water and just blot the affected area. Lastly, when the stain has been removed completely and the area has been rinsed, apply a clean white towel over the area and apply pressure for a couple minutes to absorb any remaining moisture. If the silly putty is being really stubborn to remove, you can spray it with WD-40. This will moisten it for an easier removal.
For this easy method, apply a teaspoon of solvent to the gum deposit. Next you need to allow the solvent to penetrate the interior of the deposit, so you can use a spatula to puncture the deposit, and allow it to sit on the affected area for about 10 minutes. Next, you can begin scrapping the putty and solvent from the carpet by using a dull knife. Lastly, you must rinse area with hot water extraction.
Make sure that you are well informed about the fibers you are dealing with, sometimes it is best to contact a professional to get some advice before you start experimenting with solutions to apply on your carpet.

This song would have been the theme song to a romantic France teen 'schoolgirl' soap novel, or a 'shojo' for that matter.
It's true that the song was in French when it was played in Quebec, B.C. in 1981.
The reality was that this young woman really did live the life of a 'French' soap novel heroine.
She grew up poor in a shack with a lot of brothers and sisters. Although her parents were deeply strict, they shared a love of music with the girl and the rest of the family. On most nights, since television was a 'sin' lexury, the raido was their soruce of entainment.
At the age of thirteen, the girl left home to start a singing creere.
At sixteen, the young woman fell in love with her adult male manager and became his wife.
There were some bumps in the road that she had to overcome.
One of them was having to learn English.
To this day, that young woman is still singing and performing on stages across the world.
And her songs are still played all over the airwaves.
Although she has everything handed to her on a golden platter,
The woman still hasn't forgotten where she came from.
It was her first song that told people all over Quebec and the world that in order to make your dreams come true, don't just sit there and dream your life away; get out into the world and make your dreams happen for real.
Although her song is in French, the message in her song speaks to everyone.
Thank you, Ms. Celine Dione!
Stay Tuned!

Last summer, after much nagging and badgering, I convinced Dasad to accompany me to an anime (Japanese animation) convention. Our individual takes on the whole scene differed greatly. Being more comfortable with spectacle and chaos, I found the bizarre melting pot of costumes, adolescent crowds, giant swords, and unhygienic otaku (Japanese for "obsessed fans") intriguing. Dasad on the other hand . . . well, you'll see.
The day began somewhat like this:
We enter the convention center and walk up the stairs to pick up our badges. I bounce along, ready to take in the landscape of cosplayers, eager to watch some shows and enter a few video game competitions. Dasad winces as a pair of black wings grazes his shoulders. "I wish I had brought my bottle of Febreeze," he mutters loudly. A group of four girls and one guy dressed in short-skirted school uniforms giggle behind him. The guy titters in baritone.
"Oh come on," I say, "It's not that bad."
"That one guy in the green spandex, smelled like piss."
"The Rock Lee guy? Yeah, well, it's probably just an old costume from last year," I said ruffling through my bag for a schedule of events. "You stuff an old costume in the attic or basement with a few moth balls and it will accrue a . . . uh, certain pungency."
"So will the human body if you live off Cheetoes and don't wash it once a month . . ." Another cosplayer dressed in black leather and an odd assortment of chains and belts wrapped around his body passed carting a ten-foot cardboard sword and some serious B.O. Dasad wrinkled his nose. "Hey," he muttered, "next time do us all a favor and tell your mom to buy soap, freak. With all the hot springs in Japan, you'd think that otaku would catch onto the concept of regular bathing."
"Come on, don't concern yourself with the occasional smelly cosplayer, dude," I said smiling at another cosplayer in white leather and little else. She smiled back. No cross-dressing for this one. "Not everyone smells of month-old sweat." Some smell of lilacs.
"Anyway, I found where they're showing the music videos contest so let's have fun today. Get excited." I somewhat shouted this, but no one notices. If anything they look on approvingly. A seven-foot tall guy in a stuffed-tiger suit gave me a hearty thumbs-up and a long growl.
"I get any more excited and I'll piss my pants too."
"That's the spirit. We'll make you an otaku yet." That comment incited a wave of revulsion which I purposely misinterpreted [ignored] as the shudder of pure joy. "Come on, I'll buy you a green tea and some pocky stix."
And so went the entire afternoon. Though Dasad never stood still long enough for a picture, some of his looks of shear disbelief would have sent you sprawling to the ground. I have to seriously thank him for putting up with me that day. The convention can be quite uncomfortable even at the best of times, particularly if you're not in the scene much anymore, so thanks again, man. I truly appreciate it.

Golf Betting Tips and Offers – 15th – 18th February 2018
Golf Tips for Genesis Open and NBO Oman Open Plus Betting Offers and Free Bets
The action on the PGA and European Tours is split between the established and the brand new this week. While the PGA Tour sees the likes of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy head to the historic Riviera Country Club for the Genesis Open, the European Tour welcomes a brand new tournament, the NBO Oman Open. They're very different events but both present punters with a chance to land a winning bet or two so let's see if we can pick out the value options.
Golf Betting Tips and Offers
- Genesis Open Betting Tip: Tommy Fleetwood to Win at 30/1 with Coral – Coral £20 free bet
- NBO Oman Open Betting Tip: Scott Hend Each Way at 80/1 with Betfred
- Check out all the best golf free bets we offer!
Golf News
Before taking an in depth look at the action on the PGA and European Tours, let's looks back at another contrasting week for the two tours.
It was all about a new approach to golf on the European Tour. A collection of big name European players, Australian stars and top class Asian Tour players headed to Perth for the second instalment of the World Super 6. The hybrid stroke play/match play tournament is proving to be increasingly popular and Kiradech Aphibarnrat produced some stunning golf (including an eagle on the par four, fourth hole in the final) to claim a much deserved win.
In stark contrast, it was all about tradition on the PGA Tour with another stop off in California for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The historic course was all set for a big name winner with Dustin Johnson and Jason Day in prime position on Sunday but Ted Potter Jr. had other ideas. The 34-year-old American and 500/1 shot climbed almost 200 places in the official world rankings by keeping his cool and seeing out an impressive win at perhaps the most recognisable golf courses in the world.
Genesis Open Betting Tips and Preview
Talking about the golfing year ahead, Rory McIlroy said that he hopes to fly a little under the radar at the upcoming US Masters due to the return of Tiger Woods. Woods is the main attraction wherever he plays, that will be the case at Augusta National and at Riviera Country Club, host of this week's Genesis Open.
Not only did Woods make a solid return to the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines a few weeks ago, the Genesis Open is hosted for the benefit of his charitable foundation. It's a tournament that he puts a great deal of stock into and yet it's not a tournament that Tiger's ever won. It would be a big ask for that to change come Sunday afternoon but you can profit from another good week from Tiger by backing him to finish inside the top 20 at 2/1 with Coral.
Like many of those in the Genesis Open field, Tommy Fleetwood is too young to have competed against Woods in his pomp. The 27-year-old Englishman has played alongside Tiger more recently though at the Hero World Challenge. Fleetwood may privately have to pinch himself that he's playing alongside the best players in the world but that's a group that he very much belongs in.
Fleetwood has shown glimpses of his best form to American crowds and can wow those who make the trip to Riviera this week. He certainly looks to be well matched to the classic course. Alongside his best mate and caddie, Ian Finnis, Fleetwood will have a solid game plan to tackle this strategic layout. He also has the top class ball striking required to hit these tricky greens while his putting continues to improve.
Everything looks set for yet another huge week in the golfing career of Tommy Fleetwood so back him to win the Genesis Open at 30/1 with Coral.
NBO Oman Open Betting Tips and Preview
The NBO Oman Open is technically a brand new event to the European Tour but it's a little more complicated than that. The host venue, Al Mouj Golf in Muscat, has played host to five Challenge Tour events. That includes the last three season ending NBO Golf Classic Grand Finals and several of the last few year's leading protagonists are in the field for this week's event.
It feels a little like the tournament has won a promotion to the big leagues more than it being a completely new event but it's certainly new for the majority of those competing.
Those making their first appearance at Al Mouj will be expecting a coastal, links style course. That's how the Greg Norman designed venue is described and while it has plentiful bunkers and is exposed to the elements, it's far from a traditional links. Moreover, the weather forecast suggests little in the way of punishing wind so the class of player competing at the NBO Oman Open could take full advantage of the wide fairways and large greens awaiting them.
This is set to be a real birdie fest which should play into the hands of Alex Levy. The early bookies' favourite loves a course at which he can play aggressive golf and he certainly should be considered at 16/1 with Coral. However, the value may well lie with Scott Hend at 80/1 with Betfred.
The hard working Australian missed the cut last time out at the Maybank Championship but will be revitalised after a relatively rare week off. He's won at a variety of courses around the world and especially enjoys a course at which he can utilise his driving prowess.
Few players at Al Mouj will match Hend for pure distance off the tee. That stands him in good stead at a course that has par fives which are reachable in two and par fours that vary significantly in length. Hend can be erratic at times so rather than betting on him to win, back him each way.
Other each way options worth considering this week are the improving Jamie Donaldson (80/1 with Coral) and the classy Chris Wood (90/1 with Betfred).

Vibgyor achieves wet sampling of 1 lac for the new MAGGI Cup-a-licious soups
Nestlé S.A. , the leading food company in the world is headquartered in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland. Formed in 1905, Nestlé operates in 194 countries and deals in a range of processed food products. Maggi, an international brand of seasonings, instant soups, and noodles that originated in Switzerland comes under the umbrella brand of Nestle.
Maggi India connected with Vibgyor Brand Services , one of the leading experiential marketing agencies in India, to introduce its new range of single serve soups and establish these Maggi Cup-a-licious soups as unique – classic in taste but with a contemporary twist.
The idea was to reach out to a large target audience in 5 major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Kolkata. To reach out to the maximum, Vibgyor approached colleges and corporate parks over a period of one month to achieve the brand objective.
The real challenge was to plan and execute the activity in a short span of time and get permissions across colleges and corporate parks in different cities.
The activity saw overwhelming participation with various engaging activities that revolved around the theme 'Taste with Twist' and included games such as write your Name, ball in the bucket, write it back, the stroop effect etc .
Through the activity managed by Vibgyor the new soup from Maggi was sampled to over 1 lac target consumers spread over the length and breadth of the country, covering 70 colleges and 44 corporate parks.

Calcutta high court judge CS Karnan stepped up his tirade against the Supreme Court and his fellow judges on Saturday by releasing his written allegations against two Madas high court judges. (Representative Photo)
He alleged that one had tampered records to get into service and amassed wealth through unfair means while the other had raped an intern.
Justice Karnan had made these allegations in 2013 and 2014. "I wrote to the chief justice of Madras high court but no action has been taken against them. I brought specific allegations against 20 judges. But while those 20 are silent, a seven-member bench of the SC issued a warrant against me. Today I openly admit that Indian judiciary is corrupt," Karnan said at a press conference at his residence .
"These seven judges don't know law. The SC did not apply mind. That's why public confidence (in the judiciary) is decreasing day by day," he said.
Asked whether he would appear before the SC on or before the deadline (March 31), Karnan said "Why? For what purpose? This is a wrong order. It is out of law."
On Friday, Karnan had signed an order in front of the media at his residence, directing the Central Bureau of Investigation to "register, investigate and file a report before the appropriate court of law under Article 226 read with Section 482 CrPC to prevent abuse of process of any court…."
"I am a sitting high court judge. Any place where I sit and pass an order becomes the court," Karnan said. Asked whether he had the power to issue a directive even to the President, he however said: "I have humbly appealed to President. Who can direct the President of India?" Later he changed the word "direct" to "request."
When he was asked whether the director general of Bengal Police, who is supposed to execute the warrant, or the CBI had got in touch with him, Karnan said, "Not so far." One of his associates, a lawyer of the Madras HC, said copies of Karnan's order had been sent to the CBI as well as the judges of the SC.
Asked whether it was appropriate for a sitting judge to talk to the media, Justice Karnan said, "It is a national issue. It should reach the people. Let there be transparency. What's the secret? Nobody takes a suo motu warrant against a sitting judge."

Paso FFA chapter receives national grant
The Paso Robles High School FFA chapter received a grant from the national FFA organization to help fight hunger. The chapter has been awarded $2,494 as part of the FFA: Food-For-All grant program. This nationwide program provides grant money to local FFA chapters to support year-long service learning projects that address local hunger needs.
The Paso Robles High School horticulture students plan to fight hunger by building bridges with K-8 students at selected middle schools and elementary schools, creating connections with the community, and providing fresh, wholesome produce for local families and the school district's food services program.
As part of this grant, horticulture students at PRHS will plant food crops in the Bearcat Garden Bed project. "They are excited to work with the K-8 students during workshops, and the community through garden days. The students are also excited to harvest their product and see it go to families that are in need, and into the food services at our schools," said Environmental Horticulture Advisor Theresa Clark.
The FFA: Food For All Grants are sponsored by: CF Industries, Elanco, Mainsource, Tractor Supply Company, and Tyson Foods as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The program has provided nearly $330,000 to FFA chapters in 39 states and the Virgin Islands. In addition, the FFA: Food-For-All grant program is part of the National FFA Organization's Feeding Our World – Starting at Home platform. More information about the program can be found at FFA.org.
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 610,240 student members who belong to one of 7,665 chapters throughout the U.S., the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
If you would like more information on becoming involved with the garden bed project, or the environmental horticulture program at Paso Robles High School, please contact Theresa Clark by calling (805) 769-1500 or by emailing email@example.com.

When I first read about Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, I knew I had to watch it. It's about a girl otaku! Something I could relate to slightly more than say… Sky Girls or Haruhi lol, not that I didn't love those too ofc.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu ep 7 – '…I love it!' – ReviewAugust 24, 2008
As you know, last week ended on a cliffhanger, which most people could have probably guessed what happened.
Her dad discovered her hobby…. and of course, her dad is Yakuza-esque. It's an obvious choice to go with in the series like this. It's the comedy choice at least.
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu ep 7 – "…I love it!" – Work has begun!August 22, 2008
If you don't already know, the great people at Moetaku have already started work on episode 7 of Haruka's Secret!! And if you've been following this series you should really be looking forward to this episode!!!
(That screen is from the lovely people at Random Curiosity by the way.) I did do a stupid thing and watch the *very* beginning of ep 7 RAW….. I now know more than I wished I did….
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu ep 5 – "If you look at me like that…" Moetaku UpdateAugust 7, 2008
Just letting ya'll who haven't noticed yet that Moetaku have just added the Haruka's Secret ep 5 Status page!! Means the RAW has been released, which is of no use to me… don't speak Japanese yet unfortunately… The 5th episode will introduce this girl;
Since this girl appears in the title its fairly safe to assume she'll become a main character. And hopefully an Akiba-Kei friend for Haruka!!!
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu ep 4 'Is this weird…': Pre-releaseAugust 2, 2008
Episode 4 of Haruka's Secret is out on pre-release from Moenigga through torrents. I got the torrent from here. It's only available as a AVI file as far as I'm aware. But Moetaku will release a full lovely-fied version later on. The Moenigga release is for those of us who just can't wait!! (Like meee!)
Check the Moetaku site to see how progress on ep 4 is going.

Stephen King on The Dark Tower, Idris Elba & Donald Trump | Exclusive
As part of their publicity for the release of The Dark Tower, Sony Pictures invited a select group of journalists to Bangor, Maine. Dubbed "19 Hours in Bangor", the trip was a whirlwind tour of the places that inspired Stephen King's books. The culmination of the day was an interview with Stephen King himself, followed by a fan screening of the movie. As a lifelong reader of King's works and a diehard fan, I can honestly say the legendary writer surpassed all expectations.
Bangor is the idyllic New England town personified. Quaint homes and businesses line streets that are surrounded by lush greenery. It's hard to imagine this lovely setting inspired some of the greatest horror novels ever written. Upon arrival, we were met by Stu Tinker, owner of SK Tours. He's a lifelong resident and friend of the author. Stu and his wife Penney narrate the tour. We were also introduced to Robin Furth. Robin was the personal assistant to Stephen King and wrote The Dark Tower: A Complete Concordance. It's a vast understatement to say that Stephen King and his family are beloved in the community. King has donated millions of dollars to the town's welfare, but there isn't a sign anywhere that reflects his name. He fits in to this day like anyone else who lives in Bangor.
The tour with Stu, Penney, and Robin was quite detailed. I'll list the highlights of places we saw that pertain directly to the films. The tour began with lunch at Dysart's Truck Stop. All you fans of Maximum Overdrive have to stop by and try the famous chicken pot pie. The crust is as flakey and buttery as advertised. Next we saw the trailer that Stephen and his wife Tabitha lived in after they were married. It's incredible to believe this is where Carrie was written.

We visited several more locations before arriving at the R.M. Flagg kitchen store. This small appliance store is where King thought of the name Randall Flagg. So yes, Randall Flagg aka The Man in Black aka Walter, was borne from a place that sells blenders. Stephen King is truly imaginative. Not so far away is Mount Hope Cemetery, King's inspiration for Pet Semetary. Once again, beautiful and picturesque, King had a rare cameo in the film as the preacher.
Stephen King is a big fan of rock and roll music. So much so, he owns several radio stations in Bangor. The most famous is rock radio 100.3 FM, WKIT. You'll have to hear Stu Tinker tell the story of how King acquired the station. Let's just say that Stephen King is not about to let any rock and roll die in his town.
The tour continued with a stop at Stephen King's actual residence, The Red House. The front gate was open. You can literally stand outside and gawk. The Red House is a gorgeous Victorian mansion on stately grounds. It has gargoyles on the gate with a big "K" at the center. The home is not remotely opulent or ostentatious. It fits in perfectly with every home on the block.
We got a real treat next. Stu took us to the drainpipe at the intersection of Jackson and Union Street. This innocuous grill was the inspiration for the opening of IT. Stu even jammed a clown arm in the drain for good effect. Again, it shows the depth of King's imagination to be inspired by a sewer. Further up the hill is the Thomas Hill Standpipe. Across the street is a park bench where King would go to work on IT and later on, Dreamcatcher.
The tour activities ended with a stop at Gerald Winter's book store in downtown Bangor. It is solely dedicated to Stephen King's work. Any hardcore fan of the author has to visit this place. It has everything you could imagine King related. The good news is that anything in the store can be bought online, in case you can't make the trek to Bangor. I got a particular kick out of the plane seats from The Langoliers.
After a hurried dinner at the Oriental Jade restaurant, also depicted in IT; we finally came to the grand finale of our day. The interview with Stephen King took place in an empty theater adjacent to the fan screening. I was buzzing with excitement. A lifetime dream was about to come true. Stephen King walks in wearing jeans, a black tee shirt with an alien's oval head, a red hat, and thick glasses. Thinner than expected, he has a casual, straightforward demeanor. In no way at all does he portray an air of staggering success. He could have been the guy working the fuel counter at Dysart's truck stop. It was at this point that I really understood why he fits so well and has remained in Bangor. He reflects the modest approach and lifestyle of his community.
At last The Dark Tower was front and center with the author himself. Stephen King was remarkably honest about seeing the series adapted to film. He doesn't get embroiled into the success or failure of a film. King is happy with the work that was left on the page. He lives in the now, focusing all efforts on the projects currently in front him. King readily admits that the movie will probably not please the diehard fans or Dark Tower zealots. He wanted a story that was more approachable to the general public. King batted down anyone who had issues with the casting of a black actor, Idris Elba, as Roland Deschain. He hilariously compares it to why everyone in Game of Thrones is British. He lobbied for the PG-13 rating, but hopes any sequels with be R-rated. The Drawing of the Three is the next logical film. And he's still not remotely a fan of Donald Trump. Please see below our complete interview with the iconic Stephen King:
We lurked outside your house earlier.
Stephen King: (Laughs) Did you see the dog?
Stephen King: She was probably in the backyard.
We've seen a lot of Bangor today, the places that influenced your stories…
Stephen King: I grew up in a little town in Maine. No graveyards or people actually, just six hundred or so. I went to the University of Maine in Portland, in 1966. I came here after. I was actually only eight miles or so from here when I started to write The Dark Tower. So yes, Bangor is home.
Did you ever think that this film would happen?
Stephen King: I never really thought about it much. There were times when people would express an interest, then it would go away again. Interest seemed to come back around when Peter Jackson had success with The Lord of the Rings movies. It never seemed like a movie "movie" idea to me. It was too complex and long. They've done a wonderful job here of telling a story that's coherent. There are a lot of elements from The Dark Tower. The purists may not like it. I can't tell that for sure, because it doesn't start where the book starts. But honestly I don't think about that. I think about what I'm working on now. I'm more interested in the next thing than the last thing.
The film is like The Dark Tower series put into a blender. Are you seeing it here with fresh eyes?
Stephen King: Yes, it is. There are so many things. The story is complex, the characters interact, go back and forth. I think Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the screenplay, picked out what he thought was the most accessible, human relationship kind of thing. You have this old guy, Roland, who's been at this a long, long time, and the kid. It comes through on the screen. They had to make some decisions. They had to tell a story that the general public would get, not just the hardcore Dark Tower fans. This is not for the guys that show up at the fantasy conventions with "Roland" tattooed on their biceps. You have to keep in mind, of all the books I've written, the fans of The Dark Tower, are the most zealous, the most fervent fans of all. But they make a small subset of the people that read The Shining or Misery. They're into fantasy.
What was your reaction to the casting of a black actor, Idris Elba, playing Roland and the negative feedback he got online?
Stephen King: What I said in a tweet, after all this got started, was I didn't care what color he was, as long as he could command the screen, draw fast, and shoot straight. So it didn't make any difference to me. I don't see people when I'm writing. When I write about a character, I'm behind their eyes, unless they walk by a mirror or something. I don't even know what they look like. What made it an issue in my mind, when they cast Idris, was that all of those books were illustrated to start with. Those Grant novels were all illustrated. All of those pictures had Roland as a white guy. I never thought about that one way or another. But obviously that became part of the mindset. But its weird isn't it? Why can't he can't he black? It's like…okay…you know what's weirder than that? You see the show Game of the Thrones, Westeros, they're all British. (laughs) Westeros is basically England. No one ever questions that. To me, the idea that a black man would play Roland is minor compared to that.
Does Roland have a hat in the next movie?
Stephen King: That's funny isn't it? Trade secret, in a lot of the pictures, not only is he white, but he's wearing a hat. I talked to the producers about that. They said that movies were the main character wears a hat don't do well at the box office. (laughs) I said well Denzel [Washington] wears a hat all the way through The Magnificent Seven and that did pretty good.
Could it have been that much of the movie takes place on Keystone Earth and he'd look like Crocodile Dundee wearing a hat in New York City?
Stephen King: I don't know. Have you been to New York lately?
I live in New York City.
Stephen King: Well you know they actually have a guy in Times Square called The Naked Cowboy. (laughs)
Do you ever think about these characters? Will you ever write another Dark Tower book?
Stephen King: I've thought a lot about those characters in the last year or so, because they were making the movie. I've had a lot of meetings with Ron Howard, who's one of the producers. He was instrumental in bringing it to the screen. So I've thought about them when I did The Wind Through the Keyhole, which is sort of post script to the books. The funny thing is that I'm usually all about the next thing. Somebody was asking me at dinner the other day, are you all bound up in the success of this movie or that movie. The answer is no. The books are there. The books are done. That's sort of where my focus is. I wrote The Gunslinger around 1970. Years went by, it was after Pet Semetary that I wrote the second one; because people asked for it. Couple more years later the third one, then there was a long stall out…
I remember.
Stephen King: Well, the person you have to thank for getting that done is Julianne.
[Points to the back of the theater to his assistant.]
Stephen King: She got the brunt of the fan mail that asked what happened after the train takes these people. I guess the point I'm getting at is that every time I came back, it was like meeting old friends. I picked up the story immediately. I felt the same way, this is a plug for a TV show, called Mr. Mercedes. It's going to start in about a week on DirecTV. I wrote that book, and there was this minor character, whose name was Holly Gibney. She just walked in and stole the book. So when you meet them again. That's always good.
Your character, you in the sixth book, lost an outline for the story. Is that true?
Stephen King: Yes, I had an outline, it wasn't particularly long but did outline all of the books. The only thing I can remember about it was that it was written on a typewriter in the campus newspaper office at The University of Maine. It was one of these things that was built to receive teletype, so everything was in capital letters. I don't even know where the first draft of that book went.
They managed to fit in your famous opening line to The Gunslinger? Where you happy with how it's used?
Stephen King: Yes, I was after them from the beginning to get that line in there. Not for me, but for the people. It's strange to me how that line has become so important to people. When I wrote that, it was just a line, just a way into the story.
Is there anything that didn't make it into the movie that you wish had?
Stephen King: There are things that the hardcore fans are going to wish were in the movie. All I can say is, if the movie is a success, there will be a sequel. I would love to see the doors into our world. I would love to see Roland on the beach with the lobstrocities. I understand the rationale behind a movie that's PG-13. I totally signed off that. I think it's the right thing to do. I want as many people in the tent as possible, for all kinds of reasons. Part of it having to do with the dynamic between the gunslinger and the boy, because that's a father and son relationship. I would love to have the next picture be R, because I think that's where we are coming from now. PG-13 is the safe spot. When pictures are R, studios say that that it will make twenty to thirty percent less money. Because we're excluding a prime tenderloin part of the movie-going public. I think that movies like Deadpool and Logan changed that.
Do you think it would be strange if they didn't do Drawing of the Three next?
Stephen King: I think that would probably happen. I think that would be the logical place to go. I had to think about it in my mind. I'm not into that part of the process.
What inspires you these days? What makes Stephen King fearful?
Stephen King: I don't think that I'm close to the childhood monsters of my twenties and thirties. It's just a natural thing. Then you get this double dip, because you have kids of your own. You see what they're seeing. You have them as research subjects, guinea pigs. (laughs) You watch what they do all the time. I don't know. There are things that I'm interested in, but there's no way to generalize the case. I see pictures in my mind. I guess I see dead people. (laughs) I guess I do. Maybe I'll write a story about that, see what that's about. In the last few years, I've written about old people but I'm not sure if that's a demographic I want to go after. They're shrinking all the time, but you write what you know.
In terms of your personal accomplishments, how high do you rank getting blocked by Trump on twitter?
Stephen King: Not very high. Getting blocked by Donald Trump is like striking out the pitcher. I have better things to think about. I thought it demonstrated a sort of…I think of a little kid with his lip all the way pushed up. It's a childish thing to have done. Actually, I got a lot of good ink about that. (laughs)
