Taiwan Research Programme
London School of Economics and Political Science
Houghton Street
London, WC2A 2AE
Professor Stephan Feuchtwang
Dr Fang-Long Shih
The Taiwan Research Programme held its first annual conference in 2002. Since then, the London Taiwan Conference has brought together a range of speakers from across the UK and from Europe to deliver papers on a wealth of subject areas and gradually formed an academic community. There have to date been seven conferences.
The London Taiwan Seminar, initiated by Professor Stephan Feuchtwang with the assistance of Fang-Long Shih, has been held since November 2000. The seminar brings together expertise on the study of culture and society in Taiwan. The Seminar encourages discussion of a wide range of subject areas specific to the island. Moreover, the Seminar encourages the development of new theoretical and methodological positions and perspectives that acknowledge the particular historical and cultural experiences of Taiwan. There have to date been 88 seminars.
A series of Seminars on Taiwan in Comparative Perspective was launched in January 2006. The seminar brings together expertise on issues or themes relating to Taiwan to develop a comparative and inter-disciplinary perspective on the island. It encourages a multi-disciplinary or cross-disciplinary approach to the study of Taiwan. It also encourages a comparative approach to the study of Taiwan in its East Asian and global contexts. Moreover, the Seminar encourages the development of new theoretical and methodological positions and perspectives that acknowledge the experience of locality in Taiwan in an increasingly unstable and fragmented world. There have to date been 45 seminars.
The LSE has hosted several public lectures in recent years by distinguished persons from Taiwan. These events have been facilitated by various groups and individuals within the LSE. To date there have been five lectures.
The LSE Workshop in Dialogue with Taiwan was designed to engage with particular issues or themes relating to Taiwan or in dialogue with Taiwan. The aim of the workshops is to seek dialogue and encourage critical debate between visiting scholars/public figures and LSE Taiwan experts and to provide constructive feedback to presenters. It has been running occasionally since 2002. During the last four years, a range of presenters including overseas visitors have delivered papers on a wealth of issues or themes relating to Taiwan. In particular, we have had a number of prominent public figures and prestigious scholars from Taiwan as main presenters. There have been four workshops on Issues in Dialogue with Taiwan, and three series of summer workshops on Western Social Theory in Dialogue with Taiwan.

|Dagger Spider
|Species Information
|Blue, silver, grey
|Claws, venom
|Species Status
Dagger Spider were a type of spider-like Rahi.
The Dagger Spider species was first created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the numerous Rahi that inhabited the Matoran Universe.
A large population of Dagger Spiders established themselves on the Southern Continent. When the Great Cataclysm caused the area of the Southern Continent known as Voya Nui to rocket to the surface of Aqua Magna, the Spiders were carried to the surface along with the land mass, and continued their lives for a thousand years. On Voya Nui, they were usually seen in the Green Belt.
Abilities and Traits
Dagger Spiders were named for their sharp, dagger-like legs. Usually, they were seen in large swarms that crawled out of large cracks in the ground. The Spiders did not bite their enemies when attacking, setting them apart from other Rahi spiders. Instead, they usually feinted as if to bite, but then stabbed with their front legs, injecting a paralyzing venom into the victim.
Set Information
A Dagger Spider could be built with the pieces of Dalu, Kazi, and Garan. The instructions were divided among the three sets.

If you are a Professional/Serious/Dedicated Blogger you know the amount of hard work that goes into Blogging, right?
If you need to stand out in a sea of Blog's you have to keep your content sharp. Thinking of innovative topics and content, framing a post and Blogging regularly is one aspect of blogging.
Taking care of the tech side of your Blog is another story altogether.
However, no Blog or Blogger is an island and as a community you need to read other Blogs, leave comments on the posts you read and of course reply to comments left behind on your Blog by Bloggers who read you.
As you may have realised running a Blog is a lot of work, to get which done you need to be inspired constantly.
Participating in Blog Challenges is a great way to get inspiration, meet other Bloggers and Blog regularly. A lot of my friends are part of the the ongoing #AtoZChallenge and while some of them are enjoying Blogging their way through the month, there are a few who are wilting under the pressure of it.
I am assuming that what they could be facing is Blogger Burnout.
What is Blogger Burnout?
Have you been feeling overwhelmed, uninspired and even the thought of reading and/or writing repels you? Your laptop/desktop is the one place you want to be away from? Any attempts you may make to correct these feelings are half hearted and yield results that frustrate you further? You are beating yourself up for feeling the way you do?
If you are facing any or all of these, chances are that you are facing Blogger Burnout.
Is Blogger Burnout the same as Writer's Block?
They are as similar to each other as chalk is to cheese. When you have Writer's Block the muse deserts you, and even though you yearn to write words refuse to make an appearance. Ideas dry up and what you write is binned immediately. Whereas, in a Blogger Burnout even the thought of writing, and even reading is literally repulsive.
What can you do to eliminate/cure Blogger Burnout?
You need to take a break AND not feel guilty about taking it.
Stay away from writing and reading till you feel differently.
Distract yourself by doing tasks unrelated to reading or writing.
What about your Blog? You can't neglect it like this, right?
If you wish to keep your blog momentum going you could get fellow Bloggers to write guest posts for you.
What if you can't take a break?
Don't force yourself.
Don't push yourself.
Don't feel guilty.
Pace yourself. Use the peace of early mornings or late nights to write. Switch off all distractions as you do so.
Keep a daily fixed time and duration for reading other Blogs.
Use Blogging tools to help you schedule posts to advantage.
Do a fun light-hearted post like a Blog Tag. Or Blog on a current trending topic, one suits your Blog genre.
If part of daily/monthly Blog Challenges, pace yourself. When participating in these challenges we tend to get carried away and start off with over enthusiasm, only to tire ourselves out too soon.Blogger Burnout is part of the Blogging experience. Most Bloggers face it, almost all overcome it. A few recover from it and write about it, to help out fellow Bloggers. Click To Tweet
May the muse be kind and may words be your constant companions.
Write well. Write right.

Provision of Skilled Nursing in Rural America: Skilled Nursing Facilities and Swing Beds
Phone: 979.436.9468
Swing beds and skilled nursing facilities provide critical skilled nursing services in rural areas, which are often lacking appropriate options for long-term care. While swing beds are important sources of care for rural residents, and increasingly essential sources of revenue for critical access hospitals, we have little up-to-date information on characteristics of swing beds, swing bed providers, swing bed residents, and how swing beds compare to skilled nursing facilities in terms of location, care provision, and case mix. The proposed study will allow researchers and policy makers to understand the nature of swing bed and skilled nursing facility care provision in rural areas, and the potential benefits of swing beds to rural communities. Flex Monitoring Team Data, Medicare Cost Reports, Nursing Home Compare, Hospital Compare, and Area Health Resource File datasets will be used.
There may be products related to this project; please contact the lead researcher for more information.

San Diego Police are on the lookout this morning for a home invasion suspect. Last night at around 8:40 the suspect walked into an apartment at 1330 Market St in downtown San Diego, pulled a gun, and demanded cash. The resident gave him some money and the suspect left. Police describe the suspect as a black man, 6 feet 1 inch talk, 180 pounds, mid 20's, wearing a camouflage jacket.
Today at noon the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is unveiling an anti-SeaWold poster at San Diego's International Airport Terminal 2. PETA had to sue the airport to be able to put the post up. Originally the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority refused to place the poster. It depicts actress Kathy Najimy along with text saying "Welcome to San Diego! If you love animals like I do please avoid SeaWorld."
SeaWorld responds by saying "PETA is an extremist organization and this ad demonstrates that, once again, they are more interested in publicity stunts than helping animals"

The AirPod is an excellent aid in sports preparation and recuperation. It may help speed up recovery from sports injuries, provide faster recuperation from workouts, increase energy and mental clarity as well as general health, leading to improved performance.
The AirPod acts in two ways… the increased pressure inside the capsule decreases swelling at the same time increasing the blood flow to restricted areas. The higher concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream allows the rate of healing and repair to occur much faster.
Although fairly newly recognised in Australia, oxygen therapy has become a widely popular performance enhancing strategy among professional athletes overseas and amongst professional Australian athletes, particularly in the AFL, rugby and cricket teams.

Did you know that negative emotions can adversely affect your health? Depression, anger, guilt, condemnation, low self-esteem-these are only a few of the lethal toxins that threaten body and spirit.
Offering a clear definition of deadly emotions-what they are, where they come from, how they manifest themselves, and their effects on the body-Dr. Colbert uses scientific evidence to support his views. He further offers hope in the form of God's power to deliver readers from these toxins, focusing on the power of forgiveness and repentance, the value of a merry heart, and the joy of the Lord. Finally, Dr. Colbert shares insights on the role nutrition plays in removing the physical toxins that inhibit true health.
I found this to be a very fascinating and very helpful read. One of the true accounts in this book was about a 7 or 8-year old girl that had a heart transplant. She was given the heart of another little girl her age who had been murdered. Shortly after the transplant, this girl started having nightmares about someone killing her. Through her dreams, they were able to find and convict the murderer of the other little girl. To find out more about this book, click here .

Our Pillars
What defines our sorority first and foremost is our bond of sisterhood, within UT Austin and across the nation! We embrace a unique relationship based on friendship, respect, and a shared vision. There's no sisterhood like the Kappa Sisterhood.
Contributing to the community and supporting important causes are core values of Kappa Phi Lambda. The Pillar of Service empowers sisters to tackle tough socioeconomic issues such as domestic violence, hate crimes, economic injustice, human trafficking and immigration rights. Our national philanthropy is CARE, an humanitarian organization that fights global poverty.
cultural diversity
Although we are an Asian interest sorority, by no means are we Asian exclusive. Across the nation, sisters represent a variety of ethnicities. Thus, we aim to enrich cultural awareness on campus through events that we host throughout the semester.

The Theater Musicians Association (TMA) is an official player conference of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), formed by musicians in order to unite theater players throughout the United States and Canada (full-time, part-time, local and traveling), so that we will be better equipped to address concerns that affect our industry. These issues include collective bargaining agreements, working conditions, virtual replacement by recordings and electronics, and non-union musicians/theatre productions.
The Chicago Area Chapter was formed in 1996 to organize local theater musicians to actively engage in addressing the professional needs of pit musicians in accordance with the standards of the industry and to assist the Chicago Federation of Musicians (CFM). The TMA Chicago Area Chapter works in collaboration with the CFM to create systems, structures, and collective bargaining agreements that support the professional needs and concerns of local theatre musicians.
Through this website we inform our membership (and other interested musical theater enthusiasts) of local theater news, links to our current and upcoming productions, glimpses into our world through our social media feed, opportunities to network and connect with our members, and important articles of interest. We invite you to join us in solidarity for a better future for theater musicians!

DETROIT – While teachers at Michigan's largest school district were living under a wage freeze, and more recently hearing rumors of possible payless paydays, one school employee who is also president of the local teachers union got a huge raise.
That district is the insolvent and academically challenged Detroit Public Schools, and the union president is Ivy Bailey of the Detroit Federation of Teachers. Bailey was listed as a teacher in 2013-14 and earned $70,176. Her salary shot up 31 percent to $91,877 in 2014-15.
MORE NEWS: Buttigieg to lecture Notre Dame students about 'The Nature of Trust'
Bailey's compensation is listed in a state salary database of employees enrolled in the school employee pension system. It's unclear why she was given such a big raise. Michigan Capitol Confidential puts in Freedom of Information Act requests for salary data at the beginning of each fall school year. Some union contracts call for pay increases after the school year has ended.
In 2014-15, Bailey earned $37,742 for teaching and received another $36,381 for, according to the pension database, "other professional business" and $17,754 for "employee professional services leave." It's not clear what "other professional business" refers to but like Bailey's union pay, it does count in the calculations of her public school employee pension.
Part of the increase may be due to Bailey's promotion to interim union president in August 2015. Bailey took the promotion once former President Steve Conn was ousted by the union's executive board for misconduct.
The average salary of Detroit Public School teachers was $63,716 in 2014-15, according to the Michigan Department of Education. That's the most recent data available.
DPS has allowed individuals on the district's payroll to do union work while clocked in as a district employee in a setup known as "union release time." In many cases, the individual gets a union salary that can be used to boost an eventual payout from the underfunded school pension system run by the state. As of this school year, DPS had seven employees who were being paid for union work that counted toward their school pension calculations.
The Michigan Senate has voted to eliminate taxpayer-funded union release time, which is costing taxpayers millions annually. But Senate Bill 279, sponsored by Sen. Marty Knollenberg, R-Troy, is sitting in the Michigan House in the Commerce and Trade Committee, where it has not been taken up.

Bailey and DPS Spokeswoman Michelle Zdrodowski didn't return emails seeking an explanation of the breakdown of the salary.

Kevin Low is currently exhibiting in our new exhibition, Six Degrees of Separation.
I spotted his work a year or so ago and was immediately taken with it. This response is always what I'm on the look out for, and it doesn't happen very often.
|The Acrobat
His work is striking and enigmatic. Each painting draws you into the world of a carefully crafted character, complete with back story, hopes and dreams. They are at once intriguing, witty and mysterious. And most intriguing of all, this isn't painting as we know it.
|Annie Copeland as the Ingenue from 'The Devil in the Wings'
Kevin is using a new technique to create his beautiful works. Recently championed by David Hockney, the technique of digital painting is being explored by more and more artists. Never to replace painting, it is another medium that can now be used to create works of art.
|Miss Heatherwicke as 'Winter'
He draws and paints with a digital 'tablet' and 'pen', building up layers and layers until his vision is complete. Then they are printed using the highest quality archival papers and inks. Each print is produced only in an edition of 10, making them pleasingly more affordable. They will never be reproduced.
|Parlour Window Waiting
Kevin is fast becoming one of Scotland's best-known digital painters and we are delighted to welcome this new medium and it's gorgeous results to Smithy Gallery.
The medium, like any other is secondary to what is created. I think these paintings are beautiful and intriguing, and yes I'm taking one home with me!
Take a look at the website for all of Kevin's paintings at http://www.smithygallery.co.uk/CurrentInages9.html
And just look at those red dots!
Thanks for reading!

Hello. I went to the dentist for a routine check up and he did panoramic x-rays. An unusual spot was found in my spine in the neck area. He had never seen anything like it and sent it to a dental colleague for a second opinion. I have been experiencing pain in my neck for the past 2-3 days that I thought was muscle pain, but now I'm not so sure. I was treated for thyroid cancer in 1994 and then again after a recurrence in 2008. I was treated for breast cancer in 2006. I am currently undergoing treatment for bladder cancer that was diagnosed in 2016. I have routine follow-up appointments scheduled with my urologist and oncologist next week, and I am nervous about those appointments. I have a copy of the x-ray to show them. I am worried that one of my cancers has recurred and metastisized to the bone.
Mar 09, 2018 - 12:29 pm
You have certainly been through a lot! I don't know if you've rec'd any diagnosis yet but you sound like one tough cookie and although I hope this is not a metastatic occurance, you'll be able to deal with this if you find out differently. I can not know what you are going through but I know what it's like to deal with being dianosed with cancer a second time(anal cancer) , but it was not metastatic and completely unrelated to the first (non-hodgkins lymphoma). Please lets us know how you are doing and hang in there.
Wishing you the best,
May 01, 2018 - 2:31 pm
Hello, I hope by now you will have had a positive result you certainly have been battling cancer for a while, it is not easy I had breast cancer in 2004 and following surgery, radiotherapy and 5 years of hormone treatment remained clear for 13 years however the breast cancer has come back and spread to my liver, bones, and lungs and as if that was not bad enough they found it in my skull base which is rare enough and hardly gives any symptoms for a long time and then they all flair up as mine did it comes primarly from breast cancer followed by prostrate and lung cancers so I do pray this has not happpened to you but if it has you are very lucky to have found it at a very early stage which makes the treatment far more sucessful
I will be thinking of you
Best wishes

Should you borrow from your retirement plan? Here are several reasons not to: (1) borrowing could reduce what you are saving — some plans forbid contributions while the loan is being paid back; (2) if the markets go up, you could miss out on the growth your loaned money might have earned; (3) If the markets go down, that low interest rate you are paying yourself may not look all that bad; (4) job loss requires payback, usually within sixty days after you leave your employer; (5) research shows borrowing is habit-forming; and (6) it often does not fix the core issue — 46 percent of respondents to one survey took out a loan to pay off other debts.

Possible Trilogy Screening in Minneapolis
Pat writes: I just received this weekly email from the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis. It's a beautiful Art Deco theater in a nice neighborhood in the southern part of the city. I've already responded, but I think there may be a lot of folks that may be interested that are not on their email list:
'We are considering showing all 3 of the LORD OF THE RINGS films, each in the extended version, in a single day. There would be a short meal break between each film. This may take place during the Christmas-New Year holiday period. We would like to gauge interest in an event like this, so if you think you might be interested in attending, please e-mail us. If you have a suggested date, please include that also.'Posted in Old Special Reports on November 9, 2004 by xoanon

With a newly minted kindergartener, we are experiencing our very first Fall Break. We looked at heading south to the beach, or north to the mountains, but decided that a staycation in Atlanta to enjoy the Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival would be just what our family needed.
Admit it, you've thought about how nice it would be to forgo packing up the car, the kids, and the kitchen sink for a five hour ride to a hotel. Imagine how nice it would be if you could still have the fun of vacation closer to home – you can, and we've done the planning.
My husband and I are both Georgia born and bred, so we're no strangers to Stone Mountain Park, specifically the iconic Laser Show. We had yet to take our boys to visit and were honestly blown away by ALL the attractions that Stone Mountain has added since we last visited! Attending the annual Pumpkin Festival was the perfect way to kick off our Atlanta 'staycation' and enjoy the splendor that autumn brings.
Glow By Night
We were so impressed with the festive fall décor around the park! It seemed like there was a picture spot every few feet. The trees, leaves, pumpkins and colors are perfectly put together and will put you in the fall frame of mind right away. There are fairy tale vignettes featuring Cinderella to the Mad Hatter, all incorporating pumpkins into all the characters. Down the Rabbit Hole Dance Party and Mad Hatter's Costume Contest.
New this year is glow by night where not-so-scary jack-o-lanterns light up the park after the sun goes down. In addition to an afternoon parade, stick around for the new Enchanted Glow-A-Long Parade overseen by Mother Goose. Lots of glow-in-the-dark fun, flashlight tours and a few surprises which I'll let you discover when you go.
Meet Spookley the Square Pumpkin
Spookley the Square Pumpkin is a favorite fall movie in our house. The kids were super excited to find Spookley is the mascot of the Stone Mountain Pumpkinfest. We were able to join Spookley the Square Pumpkin in his pumpkin patch for a picture during special meet and greet times. The boys love that photo! Be sure to check out Spookely's Funtastic Kids Carnival! Pumpkinfest brings seasonal activities adding more fun to all the everyday Stone Mountain park attractions.
Play Carnival Games & Pie Eating Fun
During the day, Pumpkin Festival offers The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Games with prizes to delight little ones. The Tea Party Games are open during the afternoons of the Pumpkin Festival, but be sure to check the calendar before you go to make sure it's open on a day you're going if you think your little ones will miss out with out it.
What says 'festival' more than a good ole pie eating contest?!? Both adults and children are invited to challenge their peers (and stomachs) in Peter Peter's Pie Eating Contest to see who can consume the most delicious pies before the time runs out. Maybe you'll even set a Pumpkin Festival record!
Spookley's Dance Along Party Parade
The day we went to Stone Mountain, Spookley 's Dance a long Party Parade took place at 2 pm. Your family can participate in the parade, or you can watch as spectators. It's so fun and festive, your kids will love it! Arrive about 15 minutes early to secure a good viewing spot. We found several benches across from the HYDRATE beverage station. This a perfect spot to grab an Arctic Blast and watch Spookley and his friends in a party parade that dances down the street right in front of you!
If your kids really love Spookley, be sure to visit Spookley's Pumpkin Patch for a Meet and Greet.
Storytelling at the Pumpkin Festival
Also located near the Hydrate station is story time with Mother Goose. Check the schedule when you arrive so you don't miss this creative storytelling time that will enchant your little ones. You may even get to hear the Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin!
Visit During a Themed Weekend for Specials
Be sure to check Stone Mountains Pumpkin Festival calendar for themed weekends. They are offering everything from princesses, pirates, villains, sports and books. If your child comes dressed up in costume, you can save on the cost of Adventure Passes! Check Stone Mountain Park's website for more details before you go.
Dine on More than Pumpkin Treats
Stone Mountain offers several different dining options. If you're in the mood for barbecue, stop by Base Camp BBQ. They feature hometown Williamson Brothers B.B.Q. sauce that you cover all over your smoked pork or chicken. They also offer yummy salads and sides. The smell will pull you in from the sidewalk!
For a one-of-a-kind dining adventure, check out the new Campfire Grill. Tables are called campsites, and your servers are camp counselors! You can order everything from Coca-Cola infused ribs, burgers, or chicken tenders to vegetarian items if you're in the mood for something lighter. Be sure to try the deliciously gooey Campfire S'mores Skillett for dessert before you leave too! I can highly recommend the pumpkin spice ice cream too.
We knew we wanted to ride the Scenic Railway where you can sing along with Little Red, so we made our lunch stop at the Marketplace. Its setup as a grab-and-go restaurant, so if you're in the mood for salad, fruit or some other healthier options, this is perfect for you!
We were pretty hungry, so we went with cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tenders meal was plenty big enough for my boys to split, and since we were able to bring in snacks, I knew I had some things on hand if they got hungry again later. My husband and I enjoyed our cheeseburgers a lot. The perfect fuel for a day of keeping up with our boys!
After we did a few rides and attractions, the boys were begging for a treat. Even though it's technically Fall, this is Georgia, so we were all ready for something tasty to cool us off. That's when we stopped by the Hydrate beverage station for Arctic Blasts. They had 7 or 8 different flavors to choose from, we went with Blue Raspberry and classic Coke. They were perfectly refreshing and just what we needed!
Ride the Scenic Railroad
After finishing up lunch, we walked out of the Marketplace and hopped right in line for the Scenic Railroad. This is a classic Stone Mountain attraction. I remember riding it as a child growing up in Georgia. My boys loved it as much as I did! The train takes you on a five mile trip around Stone Mountain, lasting about 25 minutes.
During our visit, there were dinosaur sightings along the way, which made the trip even more fun for my adventurous boys. My husband and I enjoyed learning more about the history of Stone Mountain, especially the granite mining that used to take place and how many places in the world used Stone Mountain granite in their construction. So cool!
Run Around the Dinotorium
We visited the Dinotorium, not entirely sure of what we would find inside and we were blown away! It's in the space formerly known as The Great Barn, and Stone Mountain has done an incredible job of transforming it into a unique indoor play space. With 3 levels of air guns, climbing and sliding, there's truly something for children of all ages.
My five year old loving scooping up balls from the ground floor, and then running up to the top floor to load up his gun and shoot down below (don't' worry, there's not much force in the air guns, so the balls fall very gently to the floor). My three year old loved staying on the main floor, chasing after falling balls or trying out the different slides and climbing toys. It was a welcome break from the heat for mom and dad too!
Cool Off at the Geyser Tower
Just when we thought our boys were completely out of steam, they spotted Geyser Tower and got a second wind! Who could resist such a fun play area?! It's a great spot for children of all ages. My boys like to stay close to the ground, so the spray pad was perfect for them. For older or more adventurous children, there's great climbing apparatuses that lead to rope bridges. It's the perfect spot to cool off, including mom and dad!
See the Laser Show
Pumpkinfest runs select dates from September 22 – October 28. The Laser Show runs on Saturday nights during September, so you can truly make this a full day of Stone Mountain fun playing at crossroads and then meet up for the Laser Show in the evening.
If you haven't had a chance to check out the 2018 Laser Show, then you really should make time to see it, it's not the one we grew up with! They have taken this Atlanta tradition to another level, introducing new music, technology and the use of drones.
What the little Guys Loved
The Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival was a hit with our boys. They couldn't stop talking about taking their picture at Spookley's pumpkin patch meet and greet, or the train ride. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return next year, with plans to stay for the Laser Show! I would recommend arriving as early as you can so that you don't miss out on any of the attractions Stone Mountain offers. Fall's cooler temps also mean it's a great time to climb the mountain. We saw many families and individuals hiking up and down, what a great way to enjoy the outdoors together.
Tips for Arrival and Parking
We followed our GPS directions and arrived at the gates at about 11:00 am. Daily Parking is $15, with the option to add on Preferred Parking for an additional $10. This will allow you to park at the front of the Crossroads Parking lot. If you think you may become a frequent visitor, there are also Annual Parking passes available for $40.
We followed the clear signage to the Crossroads Parking Lot. Stone Mountain does allow you to bring in your own food and beverages (no alcohol in the park). It was a short walk to the Crossroads Ticket Counter to obtain our passes and enter the park.
One of the best things about Stone Mountain's Pumpkin Festival is that you don't have to pay an extra fee to attend, it's included in your daily Adventure Pass ticket!
Plan to Stay at Stone Mountain
If you're looking for a multi-day adventure, Stone Mountain offers several different lodging options. You can choose from the Stone Mountain Inn, a 92 room historic replica of a Southern antebellum home. There's also the Atlanta Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort. This is a AAA 4-Diamond resort that features 2 pools, 2 championship golf courses, a day spa and many other family activities. For those who want to experience more of the outdoors, there's an abundance of different camping options available. You can choose from renting a Yurt, RV, Safari Tent or reserving a spot for your own tent or camper!
Fall is without a doubt my favorite time of year. I can't wait to try all the pumpkin spice lattes, carve pumpkins and visit fall festivals! Stone Mountain's Pumpkin Festival will be at the top of our list to return next year. If you love all things fall, and adventuring in your city, then you need to schedule a visit too.

Suspicious Mail
26 April 2019
We have recently been made aware of a school in Thanet who have received suspicious mail.
Today a school in Thanet received a note from the Royal Mail office to say that they had a letter or small parcel that had not been fully paid for and needed to be collected. The school collected the item which was a plain white A5 envelope printed with the school name and address and no further information. The envelope contained a DVD with nothing printed on it. At the sorting office there was a big pile of the same parcel for local schools.
In line with the 'Emergency Planning For Schools Guidance' the school treated the package as a 'suspicious mail' and called Kent Police on 101.
The police have since advised that schools do not pick up the post from the sorting office as the post office will dispose of uncollected mail without a return to sender address through the normal channels.
If you have collected similar mail, do not place the DVD into computer. If you have any concerns about suspicious mail Inform the police through the 101 non-emergency line.

Tasting Bordeaux 2018 | St Estephe, Pauillac & St Julien
April 25th 2019
We start the week of tasting with a trio of visits to Calon Ségur, Montrose & Cos d'Estournel. These have been covered well in a previous blog during our first week of tasting Bordeaux 2018 and were all showing very well this morning. Typical of the vintage, much of Montrose (2/3rds) and Cos (1/3rd) was lost due to mildew, with a sunny July and August saving the châteaux from disaster.

"Since joining Lisa's Dance Fit class nearly two years ago, a decade-old back injury which caused intermittent problems and pain has not recurred once! My back is stronger and more flexible, my overall fitness levels much higher and I've lost weight too.
Her well-run classes are a great mix of styles and music, with a diversity of choreography making it a workout for the brain too! They are the highlight of my week.
I always come home feeling ten years younger, two inches taller, positive, energised and happy. I even changed my shifts at work so I could attend more classes!"

Next Tuesday (that's September 29th for you smart, calendar types) Google will announce their new Nexus smartphones. We say smartphones, because we've been hearing about a duo of devices for a long, long time and more recently we've seen the LG and Huawei Nexus devices leak out all over the place. Retail packaging, Factory CAD leaks you name it, we've seen it all this past fortnight. We now know that the Nexus 5P and the Nexus 6P are very real, and they're of course just around the corner. Android 6.0 Marshmallow is going to be the focus for these new devices, but the hardware is looking better each time we see it.
The enterprising folk at Android Police, the same who bought us the retail packaging leak earlier this week, have done it again and managed to secure more press images of the LG Nexus 5X. These look exactly the type of style that Google will be using next Tuesday when they launch, and the three colors on show match up to the Amazon India leak from earlier today. The three colors are Black, White and some sort of Green-y Blue. We're not sure what Google intend to call this new color, but we're sure it has to be something fun like last year's Midnight Blue for the Nexus 6.
As we can see in these images, the Motorola touch has stuck with the Nexus, and there are matching grills at the top and bottom of the front of the 5X, but the rear is where the big story is here. Not only is the fingerprint sensor a dead-cert at this point, but there are also two little ovals to the left of the camera here, and one of those is more than likely for LG's trademark laser autofocus. On the inside, we've been hearing a Snapdragon 808 with 2GB of RAM and a 2,700 mAh battery as major specs, but we'd be surprised if Google are still shipping something with 2GB of RAM in 2015. There's one more image below, and we'll have all the news next week as soon as we've got it.

According to the ruling of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals last week, black voters are too dumb for typical ballots that list candidates by individual office, and having those ballots will therefore create long lines in black neighborhoods. As such, they have a Fourteenth Amendment right for an option of automatic straight-ticket voting to ensure that Democrats maximize their votes down ballot, thereby precluding a state from offering any other type of ballot.
Several weeks ago, radical district judge Gershwin Drain issued an extreme decision "striking down" Michigan's election law which declines to offer an option on the ballot to check a party-line box and automatically render every vote down ballot for the same party. Obviously, the practice of offering a traditional "office by office ballot" affects very Republican areas of the state of Michigan just as much as it effects the very Democrat areas. However, in this era of judicial supremacism, mixed with the grotesque bastardization of the Fourteenth Amendment, any third party organization can sue the state and assert that the law hurts Blacks and Democrats.
Michigan's secretary of state appealed the decision to the Sixth Circuit and filed a motion for a stay on implementing the district judge's order so Michigan won't have to remake ballots for the upcoming election. A three-judge panel unanimously denied the request. Judge Karen Moore's opinion was nothing short of breathtaking: "The district court credited unrebutted evidence in the record demonstrating that [the ban] will increase the time that it takes to vote, particularly in black communities where straight-party voting is prominent and where lines are often already long. The district court also found that the law was likely to increase voter confusion and miscast ballots."
It would be appalling, insulting, and outrageous enough for an elected politician to argue this as a matter of policy, but for a judge to posit such a thought process and disguise it as constitutional law is embarrassing. The notion that any third party can get standing in a court to shoot directly at a simple state method for elections by asserting that because blacks tend to vote straight party-line Democrat, they are entitled to a straight ticket ballot, and that failure to produce such a ballot would result in long lines, is an exercise in parody. This is the same type of ballot I've been using in blue state Maryland my entire life and nobody has ever complained about confusion for having to vote for each individual office!
What's next? Will judges now look at voter registration in black precincts and mandate the automatic rendering of Democrat votes per population without even casting the ballot? That will sure save time and preempt any "confusion." We wouldn't want anyone to have to spend an extra 60-90 seconds viewing the individual names running for particular offices, would we?
Folks, this has got to stop. The courts have so abused the Fourteenth Amendment that any Soros-funded organization can sue against any common sense election law and falsely assert that blacks are inferior and are therefore incapable of voting, for example, with a standard ballot, with a voter ID requirement, or without endless days of early voting.
As I've said before and as I argue in my book, it's time for the states to just say no or for Congress to reclaim the power from the courts. Congress can do this in two ways:
As we've explored before in this column, merely "appointing better judges" will not help. There is enough existing nuclear Fourteenth Amendment "jurisprudence" in the legal system to destroy our republic, crush the states, and create a permanent Democrat majority through mandated rights for illegal aliens and interfering in election laws. Most judges will not sufficiently roll back the terrible precedent that has been set, in itself a violation of the authentic case law following the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. Congress and the states must grab that power back from the legal profession or elections will no longer matter. And in many cases, we won't be able to win elections in the first place thanks to mandated fraudulent voting.

A Guide To The Different Types Of Auto Dealer Fraud
When buying or leasing a new automobile from a car dealership, you hope that you are not being cheated. Unfortunately, cases of auto dealer fraud are too common in today's society so there is always the chance of falling victim to this crime. While there is room for people to negotiate, dealers should always be honest and upfront regarding the sale; but when do you know they are being fraudulent? This article will provide information on the most common types of auto dealer fraud people experience.
1. Hidden Fees Dealer Fraud
The first common auto dealer fraud practice is when false statements are made regarding the price of the car. After reviewing vehicle models and negotiating a price, you may find that the cash price on the contract is higher than what was agreed or advertised. This higher price is often due to the salesperson adding "hidden fees" without informing you of the additional cost. If you find yourself in this position, it is recommended that you do not continue the transaction and report the dealership to the Federal Trade Commission.
2. Adding Accessories Dealer Fraud
Most people have found themselves being confronted with an option of additional accessories or discounts when purchasing items, but many choose to avoid these unwanted extras. Unfortunately, this is another case of dealer fraud when the salesperson "packs the package" with unwanted features and services. For example, the final contract may include items such as extended warranties or protection packages – all items with high rates. If the salesperson places these items in the contract, it is advised that you draw a line through them and request a reduction on the purchase price.
3. Bait And Switch Dealer Fraud
When a car dealer claims that the vehicle is no longer available at the advertised price, it is possible that he may be practicing a procedure called "bait and switch". To avoid this particular type of dealer fraud, it is advised that you read the fine print in advertisements, contact the dealer to confirm the price, and bring the advertisement with you to the dealership. If he will not honor the advertisement, you may have a case of fraud.
4. Finance Dealer Fraud
When processing a loan application, a dishonest dealer will claim that the credit score is too low to qualify for low-interest financing. If this is the case, he or she may try to get you to agree to unfavorable terms. To avoid this type of fraud, it is recommended that you know your credit score before making a loan application.
5. "Hiding A Lemon" Dealer Fraud
When purchasing a second-hand car, it is always recommended that you run a vehicle history report and have a mechanic inspect the automobile. If the dealer misrepresents the car's condition to conceal any faults or "hiding a lemon", he or she will be engaging in a type of auto dealer fraud.
Contact a Dealer Fraud Attorney
As can be seen, there are many different types of auto dealer fraud. Using the information above you can determine if you have been a victim of fraudulent behavior. If you have been experiencing problems with your vehicle and have reason to believe you may be a victim of dealer fraud, contact the Lemon Law Lawyers today.

Either a house or an apartment, a flat roof should be made useful. If you live in a house, you can create your hangout place there. If you live in an apartment, you can share that spot with your neighbours. Of course, to make everyone feel comfortable, you need the right rooftop design ideas.
With these five (5) rooftop ideas, you can do a lot. Not just to party, you can escape to your temporary solitude. You can have a picnic on the rooftop. Watch out for the scorching sun and rainy days, though.
Cozy Rooftop with Wood Pallet Board
This is one of the classic styles to decorate your flat rooftop. With a wood pallet floor, proper deck, and wooden awning, your cozy patio is set. Add some comfortable furniture to sit in. Plenty of lounge bars use this concept.
Some higher decks can be used as either built-in stools or tables. How to have a BBQ party without disturbing the neighbours with the smoke? Bring it to the rooftop. Let the party begin.
Rooftop Built in Wooden and Planters
Rooftop with Decking and Shower Ideas
The Cozy Patio with Steel Planters
This is one of the rooftop design ideas that combine classic and modern styles. The main focal point is the steel planters. Arrange the plants in steel planters will freshen up your rooftop. Plus, steel planters do not take up so much space.
You can also set up a small dining table (with steel-barred chairs) here. The only problems with steel are that its heavyweight and ability to absorb heat. Other than that, steel makes a nice, urban/industrial touch.
Best Patio and Porch Design Ideas
Breezy Porches and Patio Ideas
Rooftop Design Ideas with Contemporary Terrace
This design may look rather gloomy at first. What you need to brighten this up is appropriate lighting in several spots. This design is suitable for either a home or an apartment rooftop.
With a bar table and stools, lounge chairs, and a spacious area, you are all set. You can throw a party here or chill with some friends. A romantic dinner with your other half is also doable here.
Inspiring Rooftop Terrace Design Ideas
Contemporary Rooftop Terrace garden Ideas
Best Rooftop Pools and Small Backyard Pools Ideas
Rooftop pools or small backyard pools are quite often infinity pools right by the edge, with the best view spot at the roof terrace. Some are great substitutes to beaches, while some are more complements to the beach and a connection to the ocean.
Rooftop Pools and Spa Design Ideas
The Most Increadible Rooftop Pools Ideas
Rooftop Terrace with A Dining Alfresco and Skylights
This is another one of special, rooftop design ideas. This may remind you of a ship deck. Made of a wood pallet, there is a flight of stairs that lead you back inside your home. The dining alfresco is decently medium-sized.
Since the standing planters are placed by the lower deck, there is still enough space. A pair of skylights do not only send enough sunlight into the room. You can also peek inside from the upper deck when you feel like it.
Rooftop Terrace with Outdoor Kitchen and Dining
Rooftop Terrace Decor Update
Rooftop Ideas with A Cozy Corner
Here is another classic design for your rooftop. A combination of wooden pallet floor and old-fashioned brick walls is perfect. There are several plants in the pots. They are arranged at the corners closer to the house.
Luxury Rooftops Corner and Patios Design
If your flat rooftop is small, forget the dining alfresco. Put a small, round coffee table in the corner overlooking the city. Add two or three ottomans for your seats.
If you have a flat rooftop at home, do not let that go to waste. With these rooftop design ideas, you can create something unique.

One of the policies we have for using our online OfferWizard (coming soon) is that all offers must be within 80% of the list price, or you must provide valid reasons to the listing agent that justify the low offer price. Justifications include:
– Comps showing the listing price is too high
– Repair estimates
– Inspections
– Pictures
– Quick cash close
– Property has been on the market for a long time, etc.
What we don't do is submit arbitrary low ball offers. We've found it's a lot of work for a lot of nothing, and it actually damages your and our reputations as serious real estate professionals. You are welcome, of course, to submit your low-ball offers directly to the listing agent; you just can't use our online system to do it. The reality of today's marketplace is that there are plenty of great priced properties, particularly if you have cash to close and can close quickly.

Moose killed in vehicle collision on Gunflint
Sep 28, 2017 04:16PM
By Editor
From WTIP Radio News - Wednesday, September 27, 2017
The Cook County Sheriff's Office has released details on a moose/vehicle collision on the Gunflint Trail on Friday, September 22.
Matthew VanHorn, 29, of Grand Marais, was heading south on the Gunflint Trail at about 8:30 p.m. He rounded a corner near the Moose Viewing Trail and saw a moose in the road.
VanHorn tried to slow down, but struck the moose, which acted as if it was going off into the woods, but then changed direction and remained on the roadway. The Cook County Sheriff's Office noted vehicle skid marks for approximately 25 yards from VanHorn's attempt to stop.
The moose landed on the hood of VanHorn's small truck and slid into the windshield. The animal ended up in the ditch a short distance from where it was hit.
A passenger in the pickup, Brian Hallila, 41, was uninjured. VanHorn received a small cut on his hand from a glass shard.
The vehicle had a smashed windshield, smashed passenger's side window, hood damage, front-end damage and a large leak in the radiator.
The moose was a large bull. A federal Conservation Officer retrieved the dead moose.

Rhett & I took advantage of a couple of low-wind days to foil from our location in Nags Head. Rhett came equipped with two foils. When the tide was out he used his Slingshot foil with 30 inch mast. I rented a Slingshot Infinity foil with similar mast length from Brian at Ocean Air. Brian lives next door to us and let me use the foil & board he sails with here in Nags Head (pictured below).
It was a great opportunity to try foiling with a dedicated foil and board combination. The gear has really improved, so I was able to get up and flying on my first try. Gaining enough control to sail in varying wind conditions obviously takes more time.
Thanks to Pat for taking the photo of me foiling away from shore on a 5.2m sail. It was a short session as the wind picked up and I soon became overpowered & converted to sailing a short board.

Republican Dan Bishop has been elected to North Carolina's 9th Congressional District seat, defeating Democrat Dan McCready, CNN projects.
It was the last undecided race from the 2018 midterm elections.
The seat was vacant after the state's Board of Elections refused to certify results earlier this year after credible allegations of ballot fraud in the 2018 midterm election, causing the board to order a new election.
McCready appeared to suffer a narrow defeat to Republican Mark Harris last November, but evidence of ballot fraud by a GOP operative connected to Harris surfaced before the results could be certified. Harris decided not to run again in the special election.
With 208 of 210 precincts reporting, Bishop leads McCready 94,984 votes to 90,824.
