week three
Something old
It's time for showing our old ornaments with some small additions to doll them up a bit. It's hard when they are already made because we can't add fabric and stitched in trims to them. But we will using small things like trims stitched to the outside seams, bows, charms, buttons etc.
There is a monthly freebie at the end of the post for you too.
I chose Garden Pleasures by Little House Needleworks for our week three showing. It was a bigger stitch and I wanted it to be an ornament so I did it on 25 ct. Lugana over one. I have two tabletop trees at Christmas and one is French themed so I changed the words Garden Pleasures to The French Garden.
It is a really sweet stitch but done with a plain finish.
|Changed Garden Pleasures to Le Jardin Francais
This is a petite stitch so I thought it needed a girly finish. My first thought was rusching but how do you do it? I searched blogs and you tube and making the ribbon ruffle did not seem too hard but no one actually said how they attached the ruffled ribbon. So I was on a trial run.
After I finally got it on (don't ask how!), I also added a bow at the top and a set of garden tools in the girl's hand. Hope you like her new look.
|It's raining...it's pouring! The ornament is sitting in a garden conservatory hoping for sun.
|Lighting is not too good on this gloomy day but you can see her little garden tools and the French words a little better
|Love the back fabric. It is embroidered with flowers. I bought it at the Fabric Guru online.
|Garden Pleasures

Mary -
Before: Here is my birdhouse ornament before the update. Love this stitch but it needed something more.
My updated oldie is LHN's "Birdhouse Alphabet". I wanted this to be ornament size so I stitched it on 28 count over one. It was a fairly easy transition for me as the smallest count I had previously stitched on was 18 ct. Aida. I used the called for thread, Crescent Colors Belle Soire Beanstalk silk thread.
I have trouble making bows so the Bow Easy which can be found here makes tying little bows easy. It's a little piece of plastic for $11 but I found it worth every cent. If you have trouble making little bows you might want to give it a try. There are many helpful videos on you tube if you have trouble understanding the written directions as I did.
|Added buttons and a bow

We hope you have a great week and get in a lot of stitching. Hope you will come back next week to see our new May garden stitches.

Nate Silver and Nate Cohn both dig into the numbers today and suggest that there's evidence Obama may now be leading in the swing states while remaining even with or behind Mitt Romney nationally. Some of the polling models show Romney's surge has left him narrowly ahead in national polling averages. But Cohn looks at all the polling and notes that this isn't borne out in the battlegrounds:
On average, Romney gained 2.1 points in battleground state polls, even though he picked up an average of 5.5 points in the 11 national surveys conducted after the first presidential debate. Given Obama's pre-debate leads in the key battleground states, a 2.1 point gain would leave Romney well short of 270 electoral votes.
Why might this be happening? Cohn suggests this explanation:
Simply put: campaigns might matter. There hasn't been a campaign where the battleground states have endured so many advertisements for so long before the rest of the country even began to tune in. This was also a campaign where the conventional wisdom has long held that attacks on Romney did a lot of damage, especially in Ohio. While most of the country tuned in and saw Romney unadulterated by months of advertisements, voters in the battleground states might have more entrenched and cynical views of the Republican nominee.
Indeed, despite all the headlines you're seeing this morning, the real story in today's NBC/WSJ and NYT/CBS swing state polls is how little movement there has been in key battlegrounds, not how much. Today's NBC/WSJ polls found that Obama leads in Ohio by 51-45, after leading by 51-43 before the debate. Obama leads in Florida by 48-47, after leading by 47-46 before the debate. Obviously, neither of those are big shifts. (The biggest movement came in Virginia, where Romney now leads by 48-47 after a shift of three points.)
Meanwhile, the NYT/CBS polls show Obama leading in Virginia by 51-46, after leading 50-46 before the debate. And Obama is leading in Wisconsin by 50-47, after leading 51-45 before the debate. Even in Colorado, where Romney now leads by 48-47, the shift was all of two points, from 47-48 before the debates.
What's more, today's polling also suggests perceptions of whether Romney cares about the needs and problems of ordinary people have not shifted meaningfully in Wisconsin or Virginia, and Romney's upside-down favorability ratings have not moved much in Ohio.
Geoff Garin, the pollster for the Obama-allied Priorities USA, tells me that his polling shows that views of Romney are more fixed in the battlegrounds than nationally. "In the swing states, voters are much more apt and able to quote back the main case against Romney," he tells me.
Garin adds that his polling has tested voter reaction to various arguments against Romney, such as the idea that his economic policies would favor the wealthy or burden the middle class. He says voter agreement with those suggestions is "higher where the advertising has occurred," and adds: "All the swing state advertising has had a measurable and lasting impact."
So perhaps Cohn is on to something: Obama may be doing better in the battlegrounds than he is nationally because views of Romney have hardened in these states to a much greater degree. It bears watching.

Kurt Schwabe Prize is awarded every three years by the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) to a young scientist under 35 years of age in recognition of his or her scientific and technical contribution to the field of corrosion and protection of materials, and it is renowned as one of the most prestigious awards in the world.
The award was presented to the laureate at the opening ceremony of EUROCORR 2015, the biggest annual Corrosion conference in Europe, that this year took place in Graz, Austria, from 6 to 10 September.
Dr. Mohedano had the honor to give an invited talk entitled "Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation of light alloys for corrosion protection and surface functionalization", which aroused great interest in an audience of about one thousand experts in the field. The prize was presented to Dr. Mohedano by Prof. Tamas Török on behalf of EFC.
Marta Mohedano (Fuente Obejuna, 1983) graduated in Chemical Engineering in 2006 and obtained a PhD in Materials Science and Technology at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM, Spain) in 2011. She carried out her PhD studies in the group of Characterization, Corrosion and Degradation of Materials of Technological Interest led by Prof. A. Pardo. Her thesis was awarded the maximum mark "cum laude" and the "Extraordinary doctorate award 2011" of the Chemistry Faculty of the UCM. During her doctorate period, she acquired a solid background in various corrosion tests under different simulated environments, in particular in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique, and the development of different coatings on Mg alloys. She continued at the UCM as a post-doctoral researcher in the same research group until December 2013, when she won the recognized Humboldt Fellowship for Post-doctoral researchers. Since then, she has been a Humboldt Fellow in the Corrosion and Surface Technology Group, Magnesium Innovation Center, Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht (Germany), HZG. In the last three years Dr. Mohedano has diversified her research interests by focusing on development of original surface treatments for light alloys (Al, Mg and Ti) using a pioneering PEO process technology and on the study of their corrosion and tribological properties. She has contributed to 35 publications and her work has been presented at 25 conferences. She has showed an intense activity regarding the development of research programs and international collaboration projects and she has participated in more than 200 h of university lectures and training and supervision of postgraduate and PhD students at the UCM (Spain) and at HZG (Germany).

Bill Honoring Harvey Milk Prompts Backlash Opponents fear day of 'special significance' will promote gay agenda By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Sep 5, 2009 5:50 AM CDT 18 comments Comments An activist holds a picture of slain politician Harvey Milk as people watch court proceedings on a giant screen during a demonstration on the issue of Proposition 8 in San Francisco earlier this year. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez) View 2 more images (Newser) – A bill saluting California's first openly gay elected official has reignited the debate over gay rights in the state, the New York Times reports. The measure, passed by the state legislature this week, calls for a day of recognition for Harvey Milk, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was gunned down in 1977. The bill doesn't impose any specific requirements on schools or state agencies, but opponents fear it will mean more discussion of gay issues in schools. The bill "could allow for gay pride parades on campus or mock gay weddings or cross-dressing," says the chief of one advocacy group. "There are days of special significance for John Muir, for the California poppy," the bill's author, a Democratic state senator, counters. "Why would we not have such a day for this unique California hero?" A similar bill was vetoed by Gov. Schwarzenegger this year but the bill's backers hope Milk's higher profile in the wake of last year's Oscar-winning biopic will get it passed this time. (Read more Harvey Milk stories.)

Happy Monday everyone, lets hope today goes better than our past weekend, lol!?!!
At some point or another we have all been hit by this darn cold that's going around. All five of us caught it within a week, Naomi had it earlier on in the week, Maddie & Bryce both caught it later in the week, me Sat & Sun and Jer Sunday…it went down the chain, haha! 🙂
But never the less Saturday was still pretty full for us and on Sunday we rested!
On Saturday I promised Bryce I would take him to a "pay-lake" to go fishing. It's basically a stocked pond a few towns over, I was supposed to take him last weekend but because of the weather we had to postponed the fishing and I didn't want to postpone till the next week not knowing the weather.
But before we went fishing…
my Mom was teaching Maddie how to ride a bike!
Maddie has had her bike for over a year but riding a bike has been really hard for Little Miss to master. The forward revolutions are hard for her but my Mom worked with her on Sunday too and she is getting better and better! Thanks Mom!!! 🙂
Just when I thought this…
I remembered I have responsibilities! 🙂
So after lunch Bryce, Naomi and I took off for the lake and My Mom and Maddie went back to her house.
Maddie wasn't feeling well Saturday and she just wanted to spend time with Grandma and I knew she wouldn't hold up at the lake.
When we got to the bait-shop all they accepted was cash and anyone who knows me, knows I hardly ever have cash on me so…this is what $3.00 bought, nightcrawlers, EEK!!!
Bryce at first didn't want to touch them with his fingers, he said they were too wiggly, lol! I remember always baiting my hooks with worms when I was little but I don't remember them being so slimmy!!! :/
Waiting patiently…
Waiting patiently…
Naomi liked me casting her line and then she liked to real it in! 🙂
He did get a lot of bites though!
After fishing was…
Basketball season is back on and the team we were supposed to be playing never showed up so the coaches decided to split our team and scrimmage.
Sunday came and Naomi was on the mend, Maddie was getting better but Bryce, Jer and I felt horrible. I knew everyone needed food, you know to survive and all so I went to our little local grocery store and bought ingredients for SOUP!
It was so good, I made a a hybrid of my chicken noddle and vegetable soup.
I feel like much of the day went like this…lol!
I needed to get some fresh air while all the kids were napping, Jer was taking a rest too, so my Mom and I were adventuring and checking on some gates!
I love this spot on the property!
Another thing I love is this show, Hart of Dixie, my Sister recommended it to me! I know it was canceled back in 2015 but there were four season made and they are all available on Netflix, so this was the perfect weekend to start watching.
Have a great Monday,

The driver on the larger, more standard charter-type bus I took after that obviously thought he was hot shit..
... Riiight up until he sideswiped a car
Anyway, the first thing I did after getting there was walk around the two small streets of businesses across from the folk village grounds to try to find a place to stay, and they were all not only overpriced, but shitty. I'd recommend staying in the village itself at any time other than a major holiday weekend, because that seems a bit uncomfortable but genuinely rustic.
Because I couldn't find a place, I had to carry all of my stuff with me all day.
Having walked around the main entrance area and been totally repelled by the size of the lines to get tickets, I went down the road, out of the village itself, following signs pointing to a small museum. Museums in Korea are usually quite good, and they're always super cheap. I want to say this one was a couple of dollars to get into, and for a museum practically in the middle of nowhere the building was very nice, and it had some really cool paintings and artifacts.
Ancient cake toppers, anyone?
Look at these ducks. They're all like,
"Um, this is really awkward, but I think our butts are stuck together?"
And that frog is all like, "HURRRR"
And that frog is all like, "HURRRR"
I thought these privacy screens with clusters of everyday objects were really cute and modern; very Katamari.
This guy's won the Most Awkward Tiger Prize 6 years running
When I walked back to the folk village itself, refreshed by light air conditioning and having been able to stash my heavy backpack behind a desk for a bit, I took the scenic route around the back, walking along a narrow dirt road with a large, picturesque field on the other side.
I also came to the conclusion that the "fortress" surrounding the old village isn't much of a fortress if you can just walk in the back without paying.
It wasn't the $3 or whatever I had a problem with, it was just the undulating mass of disorganised humanity peppered with annoying kids. And if Naganeupsong doesn't get its fortress shit together, they're going to have much bigger problems, like with marauding bandits, thieves, pirates, agitated wild animals, et cetera.
Let this be a lesson to ye, ill-prepared villagefolk.
The first thing I started doing was taking pictures of amusing juxtapositions (like at the Yongin folk village), such as authentic, antique Korean Coke machines, Kias, fire extinguishers, etc., followed by pictures of super cute ceramic and earthernware handicrafts.
The view from the top of the "fortress" wall encircling the village was pretty great:
It's just like being at a Goodwill back in Phoenix, but with more abacus!
This stuffed rooster is super displeased about the catering choices at this wedding simulation
One of the more entertaining things the village has is a large open park area where you can play old-fashioned games and things, like flying traditional kites and chasing metal hoops with sticks.
There was also a super-tall standing swing, but there were too many people waiting for me to try it. While I was standing there, a guy came by with a cow-driven cart and had all the little kids in the area hop in for a ride.
Another fun thing was the making of ddeok, or glutinous rice cake. There was an old lady demonstrating how to do it with an enormous stone mortar and wooden pestle, and she had a guy come up and try, sticking a handful of warm rice goop in his mouth as he went for energy.
The people he was with offered me some when it was more or less finished, and i dripped off my fingers onto another guy's shoe. His wife thought it was hilarious, he gave me a death glare for a few seconds, and a good time was had by all. All I can remember eating that day was some grape and pineapple slush drink in paper cups, so the rice slime wasn't as bad as it sounds.
Obligatory enormous koi pond:
And just look at this fluffy little fucker I found stuck on a really short leash in someone's driveway. You'd better believe I petted and played with him for a few minutes. Poor thing was probably super bored; Koreans aren't really dog people.
After a long day of walking around and obviously taking shit tons of photos, I waited forever for a bus to come, and just got on the first one that showed up even though it was going straight to Suncheon Bay as opposed to the actual city of Suncheon...

The federal investigation in Chicago of SUPES has obviously been sandbagged. Federal investigators have refused to comment on the investigation. Now even with Barbara Byrd-Bennett fleeing the scene and a grand jury supposedly in session, SUPES is trying to make a comeback.
"The primary leaders [Solomon & Vranas] of the former SUPES Academy have begun new endeavors and will not be joining us in this work ahead." -- Joseph Wise
Joseph "Joey" Wise
After all, UNO did it with the feds on their trail, simply by shifting a few culpable leaders into different positions, changing the names on company letterhead, and relying on political powerhouses like Mike Madigan, Eddie Burke, and Rahm Emanuel to provide cover. So reported new SUPES owner, Joseph Wise figures he can pull it off as well, cashing in on the next round of no-bid deals CPS regularly hands out to connected consulting firms. Wise, whose companies have received at least $5 million in recent business from CPS, claims to have acquired "the best parts of the SUPES Academy."
Wise, who formerly worked for scandalized SUPES leaders Gary Solomon and Thomas Vranas, also wants to get more business from CPS by opening alternative schools under contract with the city school system. He runs a company called Acceleration Academies which hopes to open open eight campuses in Chicago, four of them starting next fall in Belmont-Cragin, Washington Heights, West Englewood and Bronzeville. Acceleration Academies describes itself as being run by Wise and partner David Sundstrom with two investors, Bryan Daniels and Steve King, who "have a deep interest in providing quality educational communities for underserved populations in Chicago."
Obviously, deep pockets as well.
Wait, things get better. Wise is also "looking at the possibility" of Acceleration Academies working with Distinctive Schools, a Chicago charter school management company that he started with Sundstrom in 2011. Distinctive oversees the operation of four CPS-approved Chicago International Charter Schools campuses.
Actually, Wise is chairman of the board of Distinctive. He was the chief education officer for the company as of June 2014, tax records the company filed show. So I don't think he will have any problem "working with" them.
According to the Sun-Times, Distinctive Schools already gets about $18 million a year in taxpayers' money to run the four charter schools as part of CICS. The charter network was headed until recently by Beth Purvis, who left after eight years to take a $250,000-a-year job as Gov. Bruce Rauner's education secretary.
Atlantic Research Partners, a Florida company founded in 2007 by Wise and David Sundstrom.
According to the Sun-Times:
Wise said he first encountered Solomon in the late 2000s while working for what was then known as Edison Schools, a national operator of private schools that hired PROACT Search to help with hiring. Wise said they spoke by phone and met when he moved to Chicago...
...Solomon mentioned Wise in an August 2009 email to Byrd-Bennett when she was running Detroit's public school system, where he was then trying to get business."Joey Wise suggested to try again to connect with you"... Asked about that, Wise said, "I don't remember that at all.Wise likes to talk to the press a lot about "transparency". He tells S-T reporter Lauren Fitzpatrick, "You have to be really careful to make sure you're transparent enough about what you're doing. And we worked really hard to have that transparency and not misuse that relationship."
But when asked, he won't say how much his company paid in the deal with Solomon and Vranas. He said the deal included a "confidentiality clause".

12 hilarious lessons of life you get on Pakistani roads!
No girlfriend, no tension: Few guys will surely agree to this driver, do you agree too?
This taxi driver proudly promotes his book 'For Hire' urging you to look for the book on Google. Wow.
I miss, my miss: We all love and miss our teachers don't we! (winks)
And this driver is suggesting that girls show attitude due to their looks and flaunt English when they cannot even read.
Time makes me a bride once again. How many eyebrows
are up?
Attention: Love for sale with a flat 100% discount. Anyone pls!
Here comes a bike rider saying I do love you, but my salary
is very low.
We all can relate to this one. Use the car horn gently, the nation is sleeping.
Check this one out. I have come from Japan. I got married in Pakistan. I was decorated in Taxila. I fell in love with Gojar Khan.
Definitely, a Salman Khan fan as he uses his film dialogue on his rikshaw which says, once I make a commitment, I do not even listen to myself.
Ouch! This sends out an alert to parents, advising them to start thinking about their kids marriages because drivers know how often they (generally) go on dates.
Ok now this driver summarizes how Pakistan worries about its future thinking when there is no business in the country, corruption and traffic jams are common, it is a slave of the US and so infamous in the world.

Part of me thinks this episode is best without a blog entry even, but…
It struck me as pretty funny. Everyone is eating tacos and then is seemingly talking about a naked woman outside the restaurant very casually. As if it were something that happens not every night, perhaps, but every now and then. (If you listen carefully you'll hear that Todd references a guy's t-shirt before this conversation.)
For some reason I wasn't very interested. And it's not cause I'm "above that" by any means. I think my mind must have been somewhere else.
Apparently it was in some dark theater space off Broadway with Katharine McPhee, some British director guy and a bunch of chorus girls and boys rehearsing some song about Marilyn Monroe. I can't say Smash, on NBC, is a good show or that you will like it, cause many people won't. That being said, I have watched every episode and like some of the songs. And apparently it's interesting enough to distract me from some dude's naked lady t-shirt.
Tonight's menu: the number 56 – chicken taco.

High on Fire lights up the heavy metal scene with Luminiferous
High on Fire has been "born from the ashes of their former bands, seventeen years ago" to blaze the heavy metal scene with Luminiferous, released this June. Backed by Matt Pike (who rips the guitar and kills it with his vocals), Des Kenzel (who mercilessly slams the drums), and Jess Matz (mastering the bass), the band from hell has conjured six full-length albums and a few live releases and EPs, starting from The Art of Self Defense (2000).
Other releases the hard-rock community enjoyed include: Surrounded by Thieves (2002), Blessed Black Wings (2005), and Death Is This Communion (2007). Currently, the California natives are touring Europe.
As I write this while listening to the album, I realize that this is perfect music to work to: motivating, inspiring, driving – forget "Whistle While You Work", this is what the working class needs.
Motivating as it is, it's easy to write them off as another Metallica knock-off or an Alexisonfire sound-alike. They are prominent players in the community and bands like these can't be set aside (mostly because they won't let you with their attention-demanding musical presence). It's not just metal by today's standards: there's a great throw-back to that original '80s metal, and their sound is as raw as it comes.
The entire album is a romp, striking the listener with the "The Black Plot" as a suitable introduction. Without much of a breath (with the exception of "The Cave" being a slight change of pace), it barrels through tracks that sound more-or-less alike but each have a subtle nuance on their own, all the way to the explosive finale of "The Lethal Chamber". So if you want to get to head-bashing, look no further than Luminiferous.
Get caught up in the inferno with High on Fire by visiting their website and check out their tour dates on Facebook. Be sure to follow them on Twitter @HighonFireBand.

(617) 624-6690 Fax: (617) 624-6606
July 9, 2010
Ms. Lynne Allen, President
NTEU Chapter 68
PO Box 4186
Ballardvale Station
Andover, MA 01810
Case Number: |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LM Number: 514558
Dear Ms. Allen:
This office has recently completed an audit of NTEU Chapter 68 under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), 5 U.S.C. 7120, and the Department's regulations, 29 CFR 458. As discussed during the exit interview with Membership Trustee Ronald Carbonneau and you on July 7, 2010, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope.
Recordkeeping Violations
Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Section 206 of the LMRDA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Section 403.7 require, among other things, that labor organizations maintain adequate records for at least five years after reports are filed by which the information on the reports can be verified, explained and clarified. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 458.3, this recordkeeping provision of the LMRDA applies to labor organizations subject to the requirements of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) as well. Therefore, as a general rule, labor organization must retain all records used or received in the course of union business.
For disbursements, this includes not only original bills, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and applicable resolutions, but also documentation showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient(s) of the goods or services. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive expense receipt or invoice. If an expense receipt is not sufficiently descriptive, a union officer or employee should write a note on it providing the additional information. For money it receives, the labor organization must keep at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of that money. The labor organization must also retain bank records for all accounts.
The audit of Chapter 68's 2008 records revealed the following recordkeeping violations:
1. Receipt Documentation
Chapter 68 did not retain documentation for chapter receipts received totaling at least $240 during the audit period. These receipts included payments from t-pac donations and t-shirt sales.
As previously noted above, labor organizations must retain at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of money received. The president and treasurer (or corresponding principal officers) of your union, who are required to sign your union's LM report, are responsible for properly maintaining union records.
2. Disposition of Property
Chapter 68 did not maintain an inventory of hats, jackets, and other property it purchased, sold, or gave away. The union must report the value of any union property on hand at the beginning and end of each year in Item 30 (Other Assets) of the LM-3. The union must retain an inventory or similar record of property on hand to verify, clarify, and explain the information that must be reported in Item 30.
The union must record in at least one record the date and amount received from each sale of union hats, jackets and other items.
3. Receipt Dates not Recorded
Entries in Chapter 68's general ledger reflect the date the union deposited money, but not the date money was received. Union receipts records must show the date of receipt. The date of receipt is required to verify, explain, or clarify amounts required to be reported in Statement B (Receipts and Disbursements) of the LM-3. The LM-3 instructions for Statement B state that the labor organization must record receipts when it actually receives money and disbursements when it actually pays out money. Failure to record the date money was received could result in the union reporting some receipts for a different year than when it actually received them.
Based on your assurance that Chapter 68 will retain adequate documentation in the future, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violations.
Reporting Violations
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R., Section 458.3, the reporting requirement under 29 C.F.R. Section 403.2 (see Section 201(b) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA)) is made applicable to labor organizations subject to the requirements of the CSRA. This provision requires labor organizations to file annual financial reports that accurately disclose their financial condition and operations. The audit disclosed a violation of this requirement. The Labor Organization Annual Report (Form LM-3) filed by Chapter 68 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, was deficient in the following areas:
1. Disbursements to Officers
Chapter 68 did not include some reimbursements to officers totaling at least $20,000 in the amounts reported Item 24 (All Officers and Disbursements to Officers). It appears the union erroneously reported these payments in Item 48 (Office and Administrative Expense).
The union must report most direct disbursements to Chapter 68 officers and some indirect disbursements made on behalf of its officers in Item 24. A "direct disbursement" to an officer is a payment made to an officer in the form of cash, property, goods, services, or other things of value. See the instructions for Item 24 for a discussion of certain direct disbursements to officers that do not have to be reported in Item 24. An "indirect disbursement" to an officer is a payment to another party (including a credit card company) for cash, property, goods, services, or other things of value received by or on behalf of an officer. However, indirect disbursements for temporary lodging (such as a union check issued to a hotel) or for transportation by a public carrier (such as an airline) for an officer traveling on union business should be reported in Item 48 (Office and Administrative Expense).
2. Cash Reconciliation
It appears that the cash figures reported in Item 25 are not the cash figures according to the union's books after reconciliation to the bank statements. The instructions for Item 25 state that the union should obtain account balances from its books as reconciled to the balances shown on bank statements.
3. Failure to File Bylaws
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 458.3, the requirement under 29 C.F.R. Section 402.4 implementing LMRDA Section 201(a) is made applicable to labor organizations subject to the requirements of the CSRA. This provision requires labor organizations to file copies of any revised constitution and bylaws when it files its annual financial report. The audit disclosed a violation of this requirement. Chapter 68 amended its constitution and bylaws in 2005, but did not file the required copies with its LM report for that year.
Chapter 68 has now filed a copy of its constitution and bylaws.
Chapter 68 must file an amended Form LM-3 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, to correct the deficient items discussed above. I provided you with a blank form and instructions, and advised you that the reporting forms and instructions are available on the OLMS website (www.olms.dol.gov). The amended Form LM-3 should be submitted to this office at the above address as soon as possible, but not later than August 4, 2010. Before filing, review the report thoroughly to be sure it is complete, accurate, and signed properly with original signatures.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to NTEU Chapter 68 for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

Just a quick trip report from Bangkok. As some of you know I lived here for half of 2013. I met a few of you who were living here/just passing through. I had some great times here then. So I thought I'd check it out by having an extended layover on the way back to farangland.
First impressions... Nothing has changed. It's just the same same as it was 5 years ago. Maybe that's why so many people love it so much.
Seriously, if I go away for a long weekend in China then come back to my city I see all kinds of changes.
But not much has changed in Bangkok.
I see Sukhumvit has been somewhat cleaned up. The sidewalk clogging market where I nearly got my man bag snatched has almost gone.
Immigration is stricter now. I got a quick look over because I had an Ed visa from years ago, they're definitely not keen on long stayers using semi-legit visas.
A few of the beer bars in Nana Soi 4 are different. But many of my favourite places are still here. And Mos Burger is still in Terminal 21.
Not sure there are many good ladies in this street. When you're used to the stunning white legged Chinese ladies of Zhejiang then Bangkok will be a let down. But the room cleaning girl in my hotel is very cute.
I bought some Western foods I've not seen for months. It's quite cheap here in CNY terms.
I'm sober as I'm out of sync with the window of opportunity for buying beer. Actually I feel fitter than I was 5 years ago. I think living in China is good for losing weight.
Looking forward to chatting to random Brits abroad and moaning about how sh1t our country has become .

Re: Xiongmao Returns to Bangkok
Nice to hear you are in Bangkok now. Maybe you should consider to visit also Pattaya nearby. Now is summer off season, not so many people here.
I am now in Pattaya/Jomtien. If you are only into retirement and enjoy to be a tourist, Pattaya is better than Bangkok if you ask me.
Yes, Thai immigration and also Thai consulates overseas are getting more carefully about screening people who prefer to stay long-term.
Not really a problem for me however, as I am holding a 12-month-retirement visa and most of my family members, all Japanese, never stay longer than a few weeks, just 30 day stamp.
In general, Thailand did not change so much... about the same as you said during the last years....
Re: Xiongmao Returns to Bangkok
Thanks - yes Rock introduced me to Pattaya before. It was a lot of fun though I've heard it's less fun now.
I see the SkyTrain is being extended - will it eventually go to Pattaya?
On the downside the central core is well over capacity now - typical Thai planning lol.
Ekkamai is the same same as before. A few restaurants have changed. The Gateway Mall is more low key Japanese - maybe to attract more Chinese visitors.
Prices wise Bangkok is pretty similar to East China although the SkyTrain is twice the cost of Chinese metro services.
It's weird being able to Google without having to f^ck around with VPNs.

I've always admired the efficient public transportation in the developed cities of our country. Los Angeles, incorporated 46 years before Miami, has had a train system for only the last 25 years. The Miami Metro Rail began in '84, 6 years before LA. By 2012 Miami added Orange Line, it's second, for extending the Metro Rail to a grand total of 24 miles. LA has 6 lines, spanning 87 miles.
I've also noticed, in the less developed cities I've visited, there's a lack of public train. Coincidence? I think not.
I am biased, but I firmly believe Kendall is a suburb filled with competent employees prohibitively separated from the business center of our city. The benefit of downtown salaries, without the restrictive cost of owning a car or congesting our streets, will benefit the 2nd generation of Immigrant-Americans. FIU students deserve the opportunity to live in inexpensive housing close to a train that can take them to their parents house, school, and the culturally diverse restaurants and bars of Miami Beach. Tourists should be able to take a train from MIA to our world famous Fontainebleau Hotel. How much easier would it be for a Marlins fan in the Hammocks to see a game in the Marlins Stadium, if he could take the train from West Kendall to a Marlins Shuttle at Culmer Station. You can take the 4 train to the Yankee stadium in the Bronx from Grand Central station in Manhattan. You can get to the Cubs stadium and White Sox stadium from West Chicago, by train. The Nationals play 2 stops away from L'Enfant station, the intersection of FOUR train lines in DC. A shuttle will take you from Union Center in LA to the Dodgers Stadium, for a total cost of $17 from Anaheim, 30 miles away.
Fun cities in their own regard with moderately priced suburbs within an hour train ride of their business centers. They lack pastelitos; we lack an efficient train system. I present the longest train lines of 4 major metropolitan cities for your consideration:
- The A train in NYC crosses 31 miles from 207th st to Far Rockaway.
- The Blue Line in LA crosses 22 miles from 7th Street Metro to Downtown Long Beach.
- The Red Line of DC Metro runs from Shady Grove to Glenmont, 31.9 miles.
- The Red Line in Chicago extends from Howard Street Terminal 21 miles to the South Side.
Allow me to present distances for my proposed stops on the train from Kendall & Krome to Lincoln Road:
- 10 miles from Dadeland to Hammocks
- 8 miles from Dadeland to FIU
- 11 miles from Dadeland to Dolphin Mall
- 9 Miles from Government Center to Lincoln Road, through the Julia Tuttle
- 46 miles from Kendall & Krome to Lincoln Road
- Passing through Dadeland Station, Dolphin Mall and Government Center
The new lines:
- 1 Line from Kendall & Krome to Dadeland,
- 1 Line from Dadeland to Dolphin Mall
- 1 Line from Dolphin Mall to Government Center
- 1 Line from Government Center to Lincoln Road
- 1 Line from Kendall & Krome to Lincoln Road
- Extend the MIA train from Earlington Heights, 8.4 miles south to the proposed intersection of the Dolphin Train and the Dadeland Train.
How cool would it be to work in Downtown without succumbing to the numbingly high prices of real estate in a 10 mile radius of our highest paying jobs. Hours of traffic from Kendall to Downtown, replaced by a 20 mile train ride, in less than an hour. Happy hour on the Beach is a 9 mile, 15 minute train ride from Downtown. After too many drinks at LIV, a 46 mile train ride will get you home safer and cheaper than the 46 mile car ride through congested highways and streets. A tourist can fly into MIA, stay as far as the Miccosukee Resort, and always be an hour train ride away from enjoying everything Miami has to offer, without ever renting a car or taking a parking spot.
So why hasn't it been done?
$102 Million dollar estimate too expensive? That can't be it, Rent prices go up because higher paying wages are accessible without the added cost or dangers of another vehicle on the road.
An article from 2012 says not enough revenue potential to justify the cost. Estimates of usage showed that an East-West line was, not profitable.
December 2014 MiamiToday released an article. "The [new] study would look at the feasibility of reactivating the CSX line, which runs more or less parallel to Northwest 12th Street, from Northwest 37th Avenue west to 137th Avenue, county records show." Juan Zapata, County Commissioner for District 11, is credited for its proposal. "This could be an amazing thing for Dade County" said Xavier L Suarez County Commissioner District 7.
Let's make it happen.

No fewer than five Columbus loanees featured in the starting lineup for Sid van Druenen's side on Sunday, May 4 as the Dutch Lions fell, 2-0, to Charleston. Kevan George, Ben Sweat, Ryan Finley, Matt Walker and Aaron Schoenfeld all saw action. Additionally, Brad Stuver served as the backup goalkeeper for the contest.
Schoenfeld and Finley each notched two shots, while George tallied one.
The 2-0 loss to Charleston dropped the Dutch Lions to 2-3-1 on the season. Dayton next plays on May 10, when they host LA Galaxy II.
