Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort at Tioman Island
The jetty of Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort
The crystal clear water at the jetty
The Tunamaya's staffs had a warm welcome for us at the jetty...song, music and friendly smiles. Suddenly I heard : "Welcome to fantasy island!" said by the Resort Manager - Mr Paul Cheah. The phrase remind me of Mr Roarke from the American TV series of 1977 - The Fantasy Island, which was one of my favorite series. Kind of traveling to the past...haha!
By walking towards the lobby from the jetty, I was amazed by the marvelous view of the resort...seems like 'guarded' by the Legendary Twin Peaks behind it.

And greeted by the visitors who snorkeling beside the jetty...

The check-in process was smooth! Seems like the staffs at the front desk already know our names by walking directly to each of us for signatures, can it be coincidence? I'm impressed.
The lounge and the lobby
Everyone was presented a coconut as a welcome drink to cool us down on the hot and humid weather at the lobby.
After a short rest, we were served by the buffet breakfast at the restaurant...
The sword fish - deco of the restaurant
Variety of foods, included Asian, Malaysian, Western and many more...
My simple breakfast at Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort
An 'ice breaking' session for all of us during the breakfast session...it was totally relax.
When we about to walk to our room, and realized that all the keys already in the room and the air-conditioning was on. The staffs were so considerate, appreciated because they cool down the room on the hot weather before we step in.
The area was well maintain, with lush of green...
5 minutes walked, we reached our villa.
There are 2 type of views for all the villa, sea view and nature view. Every villa has 2 rooms and its interconnected, few types of room available - 2 persons, 3 persons and family room. All layout and deco almost no different except the beds.
Me and my friend were staying in the same villa with individual room, my friend's room was a 3 persons room equipped with one queen and one single bed, my room was equipped with one king bed. Both rooms were interconnected.

Every room has a 2 entrances, one from front and the other at the side. As you will notice from the photos above.
Bathroom are all same design
The sea view's room has the spectacular view!

According to Mr Paul (Resort Manager), the drinking water in the room is the natural water from the waterfall of the island. This is one of the best drinking water I had among all the resort I visited before.
As I noticed, the room was equipped with all the quality product like electrical switch, toiletries and many more...
After we settled our bags and luggages, it was free and easy session...we walked around the resort.
The nature view's Villas have a simple and greenery view from their windows, and the sea view's Villas have a nice wooden pedestrian connected to each other.

You can choose to have your swimming session in the sea or the edgeless pool in the resort...

Magnificent view from the edgeless pool of the resort
The resort is fully covered by surveillance cameras to ensure the safety of every guest in the resort.
While strolling around the resort, we reached the Sarung Spa. The Spa center is located in the natural environment, green and with the touch of nature.

2 minutes walk from the path above, the Spa center appeared...

Every room is equipped with the jacuzzi pool and bathroom, you can enjoy it after the massage therapy and spend your own sweet time in the room.

We had our massage session on 4pm that day we check-in...it was comfortable and relax!
The room services are twice a day, that means every morning you took your shower and out for activities, once you back in the afternoon or evening, everything is being arranged. Impressed!
We were hanged out around the Ombak Bar for the afternoon session, just to grabbed a glass of Budweiser beer to cool ourselves down...
The shark at the Ombak Bar
We were greeted by most of the staffs around the resort remember included our names, impressed!
After few glasses of Budweiser, it was time for the dinner. The post will be coming up next...
Some history of Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort :-
The resort established about a year ago, we view through their video where everything constructed from zero. One of the partner - Mr Gan was from Penang, explained to us about the story behind the name of the resort. He said before they name the resort, another partner has a resort at Perhentian Island - The Tuna Bay Resort. That's why the word 'Tuna' is mentioned here, and 'maya' is the national language of 'mythical', it means the mysteries, mythical of the Legendary Twin Peaks just situated exactly as a backdrop of the resort. At last, we understand the name of the resort is nothing to do with the Tuna fish...

Lenders look at three things when you apply for a mortgage for real estate in Northern Colorado: your debt-to-income ratio, your down payment, and your credit score. Getting pre-qualified by your lender is an important first step in starting to look for a home; a seller will look more favorably at an offer knowing you are financially able to purchase.
Setting the correct initial list price is one of the most important decisions that home sellers make in today's Colorado real estate market. The initial list price will impact both the amount of time a property takes to sell and the final sales price. Research shows that when a house is overpriced upon the first day of its listing it requires price reduction.

Marrakesh, one of the four Imperial Cities of Morocco (along with Fez, Meknes, and Rabat, whose Hassan Tower is shown here), is the location for this intense, two-week experience. The most international of Moroccan cities, Marrakesh offers palaces, souks, gardens, a famous Medina, and a multi-cultural, multilingual population distilling centuries of vivid history under the rule of Almoravids, Almohads, Saadian sultans, as well as Great Britain, France, and Spain in the 19th and 20th centuries. Known as the Red City for the predominant reddish hues of its walls and buildings, Marrakesh promises an unforgettable foray into the rich cultures of the Maghreb.
About the program
Come to Marrakesh! UGA en España, in partnership with UGA en France and the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, is excited to offer an additional option to its summer participants in Spain and France: a 13-day excursion to Morocco at the beginning of July, timed to immediately follow the end of the summer programs in Sevilla and Cádiz. This cultural mini-program reflects the important role of Morocco and the Maghreb in both Spain and France, evident in the language, history, and culture of both countries. Our goal is to provide a bridge between the Islamic culture and the countries in which it has had such considerable influence, both historically and today. Students will receive an additional 3 hours of credit as ROML 4120 (taught in English) and study not only Islamic and Moroccan culture but also receive coursework in beginning Arabic. Students live in pairs with local families in Marrakesh, meet with Moroccan university students, and after morning classes have afternoon visits to the Medina and souks and winding streets of the thriving red city. Excursions to the Atlas Mountains and the seaside city of Essaouira are also featured.
Semesters offered
Aside from visits to see the many local sites of Marrakesh, students will visit the Atlas Mountains and the fortified port city of Essaouira.
Students, in pairs, live in local homes, with meals provided. Families are screened by our on-the-ground partners and are experienced hosts of foreign students.

Where the personal information manager stores notes, contacts and passwords?
All necessary data (personal notes, contacts, passwords, accounts, tasks and attachments) is stored in one file (TreeDBNotes document: .TreeDB). Enough to take on the road or to work just one file and you will always have all necessary information at hand.
Travel - Encryption and Security. Private notes, password protection
To protect your private notes, private contats, accounts and passwords - TreeDBNotes information manager offers several options for protection: Encryption of the document, Password protection for individual parts, as well as several additional settings.
You can:
- Protect your private notes with the password
- Protect your private contacts with the password
- Protect your accounts, tree and any folder
- You can also encrypt the entire document
Attention! If you store important, personal or sensitive information, you must always think about protection. There are some general rules to follow:

- Do not store passwords near the encrypted documents.
- Periodically make backup copies of all important documents and files. If possible, store the backups in different locations and on different media.
- Periodically change all passwords.
- Password length greatly affects safety. The longer the password, the longer and harder it is to find.

Freaking Thursday! Yeah buddy! Today, we continue to talk about taking the right steps to find the right mentors in life.
- A Good Mentor Is Available – Andrew Carnegie once said,
As I grow older I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
For someone to be classified as a mentor, we have to be able to have contact with them. We must have time with them to be able to ask questions and learn from their answers. Jon C mentors quite a few people. He said that he meets with them a couple of times a year, one on one, and then they meet informally when they come to his seminars. "Many of their questions are stimulated by my actions at those events. Not by my words." Don't shoot too high too soon for who your mentor is. As you are just starting out, your questions don't need to be answered by the CEO of a huge company if you are going into business, or Leonardo DeCaprio if you are going into acting. Early on, your questions can be answered by people 2 or 3 levels beneath them.
- A Good Mentor Has Proven Experience – I think of how much lost time and money we could have avoided had we sought after more people with experience when we first started DishOne. The farther you go in the pursuit of your potential, the newer ground you will have to break. "How do you figure out how to proceed? You benefit from others' experience." I love the quote by the Chinese proverb that says,
"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back."
Genius! Once again, with the experience that I have gained over the years, I could sit down with a new business owner and save them hundreds of thousands of dollars, hours and hours of time, lost employees, and much more. Find those who have already been where you want to go.
- A Good Mentor Possesses Wisdom – There once was a well known expert who was called by a company to look at their manufacturing system. It had broken and everything was at a stand still. When the expert arrived, he carried nothing but a little black bag. Silently he walked around the equipment and then he stopped. As he focused on on specific area of the equipment, he pulled a hammer out of his bag and tapped it gently. Suddenly everything started to work again, and he quietly left. The next day he sent a bill that made the manager go crazy. It was for $1000. He emailed the expert and wrote, "I will not pay for this outrageous bill without it being itemized and explained." Soon he received an invoice with the following words:
For the tapping on equipment with hammer- $1
For knowing where to tap- $999
"Mentors with wisdom show us where to tap." And learning where to tap can make all the difference in the world.
Yours truly,
Trying to figure out where to tap, Cram

A new check fraud prevention service is now available through Intacct Platform Services. PositivePay™ is for your Intacct checking accounts and provides another level of security to insure your payments are made accurately. This service is fully integrated with the Cash Management Module and has the flexibility to meet any bank format required. Whether you are paying vendors or reimbursing employees, PositivePay™ by Brittenford Systems, Inc. is the solution.
- Easily setup and configure to meet your bank's unique requirements. PositivePay™ layouts can include headers, footers, and detail lines – each of which can be quickly configured to meet the format required by your bank.
- Define a separate file layout for each of your banks. The application works with an unlimited number of bank accounts.
- Once the PositivePay™ formats have been defined, files are generated based upon the cutoff date specified, and historical files are archived, yet still accessible for reporting purposes.
How Does it Work?
The PositivePay™ process consists of a daily reconciling between a company's issued checks and checks presented for payment at your bank, in order to identify potentially fraudulent checks.
Upon completion of a check run, a company prepares a "checks issued" data file (including check number, amount and date, as well as other bank and account information) and transmits this data to their bank. Voided checks and manual checks can also be included in this formatted checks issued file.
When checks are presented for payment against an account protected by Positive Pay, the check information is compared to the "checks issued" file. Checks presented for payment that fail to match with checks issued by the company are rejected. The bank then presents a list of "suspect checks" to the company for "pay/no pay" decisions. These "suspect checks" are resolved before the bank authorizes payment. The company may reject any checks it believes to be fraudulent.
Key Benefits
- Dramatically reduces check fraud
- Can be used with all US banks and multiple accounts
- Easy to install, implement and use
To schedule a demonstration, contact Matt Rowley of Brittenford Systems at 703-828-2433. Additional information can be found on the Intacct Marketplace.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A 24-year-old Aurora man is suing the Illinois Department of Human Services and the social worker he said seduced and sexually abused him while he was at the Elgin Mental Health Center.
"She engaged in all kinds of various sexual misconduct. The graphic details are every sex act that you can imagine," said attorney, Joe Cecala.
Cecala is the attorney for 24-year-old Ben Hurt, who said one of his social workers, 53-year-old Christy Lenhardt, sexually abused him at the Elgin Mental Health Center and basically kept him as a sex slave for the last three years.
"She's accused of manipulating and seducing our client, repeatedly. It took her about four months until she actually had sex for the first time with him," Cecala said.
"We have evidence of her perversion, both in her emails to the client, nude photos."
The abuse, according to a lawsuit, took place at the Elgin Mental Health Center, where Hurt was a patient and Lenhardt was his trusted psychiatrist.
"I didn't fully understand what I was getting into until I got into it," Hurt said.
Hurt had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in 2014 for battery against a police officer and that's how he ended up at Elgin Mental Health Center. His mother said he should have been out in six to 12 months, but she accuses Lenhardt of making excuses to keep him at the facility.
"They assured me that they were going to help me with my child," said Hurt's mother, D'Anntanette Lee. "What they did to my son was wrong."
Attorneys are also suing two other psychiatrists and the Center's director who they say knew about the abuse.
Lenhardt was fired from the Center in July, after Hurt was finally released and he complained about the abuse.
Hurt said now he just wants to move on.
Lenhardt has not been charged with a crime, but attorneys say the state police are investigating. CBS 2 was unable to reach Lenhardt. A spokesperson for the Elgin Mental Health Center declined to comment on the pending lawsuit.

An exhibition of watercolors captures a moment in American painting.
The opportunity to view fine watercolors is perhaps more rare than one might realize. Watercolor paintings are exceptionally light-sensitive and delicate, and thus the best examples in museum collections are shown in moderation. Their fragility, coupled with a long-held stigma that they were a lesser form of painting, makes it that watercolors too seldom have their moments in the sun. An ambitious exhibition, which opens at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this month (March 1), brings 170 exceptional examples of American watercolor from esteemed public and private collections momentarily out of the shadows. With the show running barely three months (it closes May 14), fans of the American painting tradition are advised not to blink and miss it.
Titled "American Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent," the exhibition looks at the medium's boom in popularity during the last few decades of the 19th century and the first few decades of the 20th. During this period, quite a few hobbies of the leisure class began their ascent to their eventual status as legitimate art forms (think photography). A popular pastime and commercial style before the Civil War, watercolor inhabited a seat at the art world's kids' table for much of the 19th century. It was even dismissed as a so-called "ladies'" medium. However, the inception of the American Watercolor Society in 1866 and the use of the medium by leading figures of the late 19th century—such as Thomas Moran, William T. Richards, and Thomas Eakins—established watercolor as an important format for depicting the American scene. By the mid-20th century, such quintessential American artists as Edward Hopper, John Marin, Charles Burchfield, and Charles Demuth had utilized watercolor for a major part of their output.
The exhibition uses the concurrent careers of Winslow Homer (1836–1910) and John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) as its timeline. Though they are both lauded for their work in other mediums, Homer and Sargent are arguably the most celebrated American watercolorists. Their lifetimes mirror the rise of watercolor's popularity.
Homer learned watercolor painting technique from his mother Henrietta Benson Homer. Henrietta, an accomplished amateur watercolor painter, will be represented with work in the PMA's exhibition. Homer, initially a successful commercial illustrator and later an eminent studio painter working in oil, began regularly incorporating watercolor into his practice after a summer trip to Gloucester, Mass., in 1873. Though initially met with critical derision (in response to a show in 1881 one critic wrote, "a child with an ink bottle could not have done worse"), Homer's watercolors garnered popularity and sold steadily. The painter began to use watercolor as a primary medium, particularly while traveling. While spending two years (1881–82) in villages along the English coast, Homer worked almost exclusively in watercolor. This output was received favorably when the painter returned to New York. In the winter of 1884–85, during his first visit to the Bahamas, Homer painted some 30 watercolors, including A Garden in Nassau (1885), a highlight of the PAM's show. The painting depicts a local boy on a sandy path looking toward an unseen house. The dwelling is blocked by a limestone wall so white one can almost feel it sizzling with midday heat. Large palm fronds are neatly detailed, while other examples of island fauna are expressed in fluid washes of color that dot the sandy path like puddles collecting rain. Homer, who is well known for his marine paintings, has several watercolor examples in the exhibition. Diamond Shoal, a 1905 watercolor on paper, shows two sailors manning a sailboat in choppy seas, while a boat not far in the distance appears to sink. Here Homer uses watercolor as an effective device for depicting the elements—the gray, foggy sky seems thick with moisture, while the hostile waves teem with rabid white froth. Building a Smudge (1891), an earlier watercolor, is a more placid scene. The painting, which is one of some 85 watercolors Homer made in the Adirondacks between 1889 and 1895, shows to guides building a fire on an embankment near water's edge.
Like Homer, Sargent made many of his watercolors while traveling. The portrait painter, completed some 2,000 watercolors over the course of his career, in places like Florida and Corfu, the Middle East and Maine. Often taking on a playful or joyous quality, Sargent's watercolors depicted nature scenes, architecture, native peoples, and friends. Of Sargent's watercolors, his biographer Sir Evan Charteris wrote in 1927, "To live with Sargent's water-colours is to live with sunshine captured and held." Muddy Alligators, a 1917 watercolor in the PMA's show, proves Charteris' point. Sargent paints a scene of six alligators lounging in a swamp. The swamp water, which luminously reflects trees that grow above, and the alligators are both washed in the milky brown color of hot mud baking in the sun. Sargent, who often painted watercolors for personal amusement, completed this one as a diversion from another muddy task: painting a portrait of John D. Rockefeller at his winter house in Ormond Beach, Fla. Spanish Fountain, a watercolor from 1912, captures the yellow light of late afternoon hitting an ornate fountain. Of particular note are the tadpole-like strokes Sargent uses to suggest light reflecting off the water in fountain's pool.
The exhibition also has several tricks up its sleeve. One is a watercolor by Louis Comfort Tiffany—Algerian Shops (circa 1872–87). The designer's foray into watercolor is a highly detailed street scene of a marketplace in old Algiers. Perhaps it's a reach, but the way Tiffany depicts blocks of architectural elements on buildings, wares hanging from storefronts, and figures walking through the market seems reminiscent of the abstracted blocks of color on Tiffany lamps of the era. On the topic of glass, another piece in the show is John La Farge's Peonies in a Breeze (1890), a watercolor which the artist would render in stained glass some nine years later. The stained-glass piece, Peonies in the Wind, which was reworked in 1908, is also on view. A plate made by Rookwood Pottery of Cincinnati in 1880 further illustrates versatility and popularity of watercolor at the time. The white glazed stoneware plate is decorated with fish and insects in an inky blue.
Present also in the exhibition are examples of the new generation of painters who made watercolors their own. John Marin's The Red Sun, Brooklyn Bridge (1922) is a view of the city and the Brooklyn Bridge's architecture as seen from inside the bridge. It is watercolor at its most kinetic and most modernist. In Charles Demuth's Still Life: Apples and Green Glass (1925), there are small bleeding passages in the red paint of the apples. These splotches of bled paint dance like light on the apple's waxy skin. Haskell's House, a 1924 watercolor by Edward Hopper, shows a large, white Victorian house on a hill from street view. Perhaps more than any other work in the show, Haskell's House captures a view of America that has long since begun to fade.

D2B Co-Host
You probably recognize Chris Kelly as the Program Director and Afternoon Co-Host at 104.1 The Fish in Portland, Oregon. While growing up in Collinsville, Oklahoma, (just North of Tulsa), Chris was able to find his passion very early in life, and he's been involved in radio since since he was just 12 years old. A little over 3 years ago Chris ventured out to the Great NW with his wife and three sons – a move that he says continues to be a great experience for his family.
We are very excited and honored for Chris to Co-Host the Dare2Believe festival this year, and are very much looking forward to September 27th.

NASA unveils sci-fi like rescue mission to salvage future space shuttleJune 18th, 2008 - 4:05 pm ICT by ANI
London, June 18 (ANI): In a scenario straight out of a science fiction flick, NASA has unveiled an elaborate contingency plan to rescue the shuttle Atlantis should it get into trouble while on its way to repair the beleaguered Hubble Space Telescope.
According to a report in Nature News, though NASA had long planned to send a shuttle to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, after the Columbia shuttle disaster in 2003, the mission was cancelled amid concerns about how the crew would be rescued if the shuttle were damaged.
However, in 2006, the repair mission was reinstated and scheduled for this year, with NASA intending to send the shuttle Atlantis out to Hubble.
The agency has now unveiled an elaborate rescue plan to be put into action if Atlantis should get into trouble.
The rescue scenario will come into play if Atlantis is irreparably damaged during launch such as by taking a knock to its thermal tiles and is unable to bring the crew back to Earth, said Don Savage, NASAs Hubble mission spokesman.
Although the odds of such damage occurring are estimated at only 1 in 400, NASA will have a second shuttle, Endeavour, waiting on a neighbouring launch pad, ready to blast into action and retrieve the crew if necessary.
The crippled Atlantis will only be able to survive in orbit with extreme power conservation for between 17 and 25 days, so Endeavour must reach it within that time.
Endeavour will be primed to launch within four days of Atlantis, and the rescue mission is scheduled to take eight days from launch to landing.
Endeavour would rendezvous with Atlantis within a day, but would then be faced with the tricky task of transferring the stranded crew to the rescue shuttle.
To do this, the two shuttles must line up their payload bays at a 90-degree angle to one another, and Endeavours robotic arm will then reach out to grab the orbital boom system on Atlantis.
Once secure, astronauts from Endeavour will retrieve their colleagues during a series of three spacewalks between the shuttles. The Atlantis shuttle would then be released and sent crashing into the ocean.
If all goes well, the Atlantis astronauts will replace Hubbles gyroscopes and batteries, fix its broken camera and spectrograph, and add two new, more advanced pieces of monitoring equipment and an outer insulating blanket.
Were doing this because Hubble is deemed to be a national treasure that has helped to rewrite astronomy textbooks, said Savage. This will make Hubble more powerful than it has ever been, he added. (ANI)

In 1951, James Brown, Howard Dresser, and Robert Kinsey formed the partnership of Brown, Dresser & Kinsey. James Brown was County Attorney for a number of years. Dresser and Kinsey were in general practice. By the early 1960s, James Brown gave up his County Attorney position and also began general practice.
In 1968, the firm hired University of Iowa Law School graduate David Funkhouser and the firm name was eventually changed to Brown, Kinsey & Funkhouser, P.L.C. By the early 1970s, Robert Kinsey's son, Robert Kinsey III ("Chip"), had graduated from the University of Iowa Law School and was the next attorney brought into the firm. In 1982, James Brown's son, Scott Brown, graduated from Drake Law School and opted to come to Mason City to practice with the law firm.
In 1995, the firm hired another Drake Law School graduate, John Lander, and the name was changed in 2004 to Brown, Kinsey, Funkhouser and Lander, P.L.C. In 2003, University of Iowa graduate Kim Snitker joined the firm in 2003, and Drake University Law School graduates Travis Armbrust and Kaitlyn Ausborn joined the firm in 2012 and 2015 respectively. All attorneys are committed to continuing the rich tradition which began at the time of the firm's inception in 1951.

Blue and white mood board.
Marble & Velvet Interiors
Posted on September 30, 2014
Mood boarding is one of my favourite ways to start an idea for a scheme. It's a great way to pull ideas together and see if they work well within a scheme. This board is inspired by Morocco, England, chinoiserie and geometric design. Who says eclectic has to look mismatched! This scheme works as there are some elements which pull it together such as tonal shades of the same colour and patterns in the cushions, rugs and china which provide a layered depth to the scheme. The crystal lights and flower painting bring a feminine element to the scheme which works nicely with the delicate patterns.

• A resident of the Wynalda Drive area called police about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, reporting that an elderly man was going house to house asking for directions and appeared lost. An officer responded, was able to get an address from the man's identification and provided the man a ride to that address.
• An Almadon Avenue resident reported that on any school day at about 3:30 p.m. vehicles are driven recklessly through the area. The caller reported seeing side-by-side racing each day last week and noted the route is believed to be ignored by police. Extra patrol was suggested.
• A Thursday caller asked officers to check on the welfare of his children due to the condition of a Warner Avenue apartment where they live. An officer made contact and found the children to be healthy. The children's mother reported having an earlier argument with the father, which may have prompted the report.
• A Scandia Avenue resident notified police Nov. 12 that a vehicle prowl had just occurred. A neighbor had startled the suspects and they dropped items being taken from an automobile. The suspects were not found.
• A call came through King County authorities who said a man had reported being assaulted by two men who stole his vehicle. He could not tell which way they left in his red, 1998 BMW, which was taken in the vicinity of 180th Avenue Southeast.
• Staff in the Enumclaw Regional Hospital emergency room asked for police help shortly before 1 a.m. Nov. 11. They were trying to restrain a man who had been delivered to the hospital and was becoming increasingly uncooperative. Enumclaw police assisted and, when the man was discharged, released him to the custody of Buckley officers.
• A caller told police the morning of Nov. 10 that medications had been stolen from her purse, which was inside a vehicle parked on Bathke Avenue. She arrived at the police station later in the day to file a report.
• Police heard Nov. 10 that a Lowell Avenue resident had been walking her dog when it was attacked and bitten by a dog running loose. The woman took her dog to a veterinarian and police later took a report to be filed with King County Animal Control.
• At 1:30 a.m. Sunday a 36-year-old Bonney Lake man was pulled over for speeding. The subject was found to be intoxicated and was arrested for driving under the influence. He was issued an infraction for speeding, a criminal citation for DUI and was released to a sober adult.
• Officers responded to a Lincoln Avenue address a little after 5 a.m. Saturday to check on a suicidal man who was apparently suffering from a drug overdose. Officers conducted an area search for a man in his 40s who had fled the residence after taking an unknown quantity of prescription pills. Shortly after the search had begun, the subject busted through the door of the home, was evaluated by medical aid and was transported to the hospital.
• A Buckley officer saw a man exit his vehicle on a wide shoulder of state Route 410 just east of the White River Bridge at 3 a.m. Nov. 12. When the officer asked the man to come over to him the man refused to do so. When the officer notified the subject that he was under arrest for having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the subject informed the officer that he couldn't arrest him on that charge, because he didn't have the key and there was no key in the ignition. The man was booked into the Buckley jail on the aforementioned charge after the officer noted the keys were hanging out of the passenger side window.

- For other uses, see Eric (disambiguation).
Eric Stough currently holds the position of producer on South Park; he was previously the animation director of the show during the first few seasons of its run. The character Butters Stotch was loosely based on Stough.
Stough has collaborated with series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker on numerous projects, including South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, their films Orgazmo and Team America: World Police, as well as their highly successful Broadway production, The Book of Mormon.
Born in Evergreen, Colorado, Stough reportedly went to high school with Trey Parker, with whom he appeared on short films and school theater productions. He would later go on to attend the University of Colorado with both Parker and series co-creator Matt Stone, both of whom would make separate appearances in two of Stough's student films; Stone in The Diner and Parker in Revenge of the Roadkill Rabbit.
Stough later did internships with numerous companies, including the Walt Disney Company and Jim Henson Productions, before again taking up work with Stone and Parker. He was part of the animation team on Team America: World Police and played the minor part of "Arrestee" in Orgazmo. He also worked on the original traditionally-animated pilot episode of South Park.
Voice acting
Stough has provided Kenny's unmuffled voice on four occasions - in "The Jeffersons", "Lice Capades" ,"Mysterion Rises" and "A Nightmare on Facetime"
Butters Stotch
In interviews, Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed that the character of Leopold "Butters" Stotch was loosely based on Stough. Stone would often tease him, affectionately calling him "buddy" or their "little buddy"; eventually giving him the nickname "Butters." Stough's cautious attitude towards the targets of the show's merciless humor inspired Butters' warm personality.
An excerpt from the interview can be found here.

When the New Balance brought out the Minimus Collection, there was one distinct request that the barefoot/minimalist running community clamored for. Make it ZERO-DROP! The 10- and 20-series has a 4mm stack height difference between heel and toe.
Our wish has been granted. New Balance will be bringing out the 00-series by next year. Got a sneak peek at Frunning on their new lineup. Unfortunately, the pictures and video was removed as requested by New Balance. Either they made a mistake of prematurely throwing it out in the public or they just want to make a big fuss out of it so runners would drool more
The good news is, I was still able to snatch a few pictures. See how it'll look like -
|i like this one :)
Based from the video, the main features are:
- zero drop (thank you New Balance!)
- we will continue to see the 3 models (Trail, Road, and Life)
- thinner midsole compared to the 10- and 20-series
- outsole still with vibram and uses a different design
- upper is very thin and light

Like I said, fast-forward to 2012 please ...

INFOGRAPHIC: Effective training room layouts for group meetings
Lecture theatre/lecture hall
A lecture theatre can accommodate a large number of participants. Common lecture halls have pitched floors, allowing those who are seated at the back to see the speaker.
Advantage: Excellent visibility (if the training room is well engineered).
Disadvantages: Communication tends to be one way; poor trainer-participant interaction.
U shaped training room/horseshoe
A room layout that is appropriate for 10-12 participants, it is best for formal business meetings.
Advantages: High possibility of trainer-participant interaction; trainer can move closer to each member and participants can easily see demonstrations (if any)
Disadvantage: Participants seated at the front will be looking at an angle, which might cause discomfort
Herring bone
This is an appropriate room layout for IT training or for sessions that require a lot of note taking or self-study/work.
Advantage: Trainer can walk down the aisles and can easily see all the participants.
Disadvantage: If the trainer remains at the front, first row participants are blocking back row participants
Suitable for small group meetings, the seats on the short dimension sides of the table are intended for the meeting chair/trainer.
Advantages: Easily share resources; promotes equality.
Disadvantage: Poor visibility for those at the opposite end to the speaker.
Gala/bistro style
This training room style is suitable for semi-formal training which involves groupings and other extra activities.
Advantage: Best for group work/projects.
Disadvantages: Poor visibility; requires multimedia to capture the attention of every participant (microphones, sound system)

- Prayer
A Wish Fulfilled
Once age and declining health prevented my mother from continuing to work as a salesperson in a local children's furniture store, something she had done for 41 years, she began to pray that she would die.
I remember her sitting at home in her chair, wearing only a torn pair of underwear and one of Dad's old white t-shirts. "Please let me die," she prayed.
Later, lying on her bed in the nursing home, lost in a fog of dementia. "Please let me die."
And in the hospital, tossing and turning in her bed, as MRSA invaded her body. "Please let me die."
Even in the hospice, the few times she awakened from a morphine-induced sleep, she prayed in a hoarse voice, "Please let me die."
Neither my dad nor I wanted her to die; we still believed that medicine could heal the sadness of her soul and the infection within her body. But Ma's prayers were stronger than our hopes. On March 21, 2007, she took her last breath and found the peace she so deeply desired. Her prayer had been answered.

Seamonsters | Review
By Dave Wilson | October 16, 2011
Director: Julian Kerridge
Writers: Martin Sadofski, Julian Kerridge
Starring: Jack McMullen, Reece Noi, Leila Mimmack, Georgia Henshaw, Rita Tushingham, Maggie O'Neill, Andrew Knott
Seamonsters tells the story of two shiftless young friends, Sam (Jack McMullen) and Kieran (Reece Noi), who are biding their time during the off-season in the English seaside town of Worthing. Sam and Kieran are stuck in a kind of shiftless limbo. Too old to be kids any more, they drift along without any plans for the future, vaguely aware that they're expected to be adults. Kieran is skittish and unpredictable, perhaps a little bit crazy. Sam is quiet and sensitive, and tends to back down when challenged.
Of course, even lifelong friendships can completely derail when a girl enters the picture. One day the boys meet Lori (Leila Mimmack), a mysterious, dark-eyed girl who's somehow escaped their notice until now. Lori lives on the fringes with her sad, alcoholic mum in a ramshackle Day-Glo boat parked in the sand. Sam falls for Lori immediately. But there's an underlying sadness to Lori, a haunted feeling, and she's unwilling to let anyone get too close to her.
When Sam is called out of town to attend a funeral, Lori and Kieran end up spending the day together, doing stupid things, getting drunk, and collapsing by sea, despite the fact that they despise each other. By the time Sam returns, nothing is the same.
There is a sudden death around the midpoint of Seamonsters that has the effect of drawing the curtain closed on one story, and beginning another. What is nearly unforgivable is that a compelling character is introduced, invested with life, and then sacrificed to the dictates of the plot. Sober glimpses of back story and traumatic character history are referenced in an offhand manner, but are never given their due. The second section, which takes place primarily in London, feels like another film entirely, involving some of the same characters, only now Moony, Kieran's girlfriend (Georgia Henshaw), emerges as a primary character. Moony, as played by the brilliant Georgia Henshaw, is so full of passion and life that she threatens to overshadow the rest of the proceedings.
In some ways, Seamonsters is incredibly evocative. Julian Kerridge succeeds in capturing that uniquely English, "Every Day is Like Sunday" sort of dead-end seaside ennui. The cinematography by Nick Gordon-Smith is frequently spectacular, rendering the low tide along the boardwalk with its endless stretch of glistening packed sand as something like the surface of an alien planet.
Unfortunately, the narrative itself feels unfocused, and the tone of the film is inconsistent, veering from the deadpan to the tragic, from the absurd and ironic to the sober and violent. Seamonsters assembles a likable young cast and works hard to capture a certain time and place. But it struggles to determine what sort of story it wants to tell.

Caroline Rominger
Fellow Swiss Melanie Maetzler and Caroline Rominger sit at the top of the leader board after the first round of the Mineks & Regnum Ladies Classic after both scoring 71, 2 under par. Both players have been in good form over the last few months, with Maetzler recording two top ten finishes in her last five starts and Rominger three top 3 places.
Maetzler played solidly on the challenging National Golf Club, with just one bogey on the tricky 10th hole and birdies on the 8th, 14th and 18th holes.
Rominger started her round with a triple bogey but fought back with birdies on the 4th, 8th, 9th, 14th and back to back birdies followed on the 17th and 18th holes.
England's Charlotte Wild opened with a one under par, 72 to lie in third place on her own, with Emma Westin and Lina Boqvist from Sweden, who are both recent winners on the LET Access Series, finishing with rounds of 73, even par.
Kym Larratt from England is a further shot back at one over par, with four players, Daisy Nielsen from Denmark, India's Vani Kapoor, and Suzanne Dickens and Emma Tayler from England at two over par.
The second round's play will start at 8.00am on Saturday mornig.

The upper Stiaguamish valley had many small schools such as the Irving, Whitehorse, Hazel, Bennetville, Mansford and White pine. Over time these school districts began to consolidate to bigger and bigger school districts.
The old grade school at Old School Park location built in 1922
In the year of 1920 the new grade school for Darrington began construction and was completed in 1921. It was a multi-room, two story school with a basement below. It was probably the tallest building in the town at that time. It seemed to boast of prosperous times standing alone on a large lot set aside for school land. The town was in a boom and it looked like it would never stop. Soon the new school was no longer big enough to handle all of the students. By 1925 construction of another school was started. This one was to house the high school students and was completed in 1926..
The first Darrington High School built in 1926
It seemed the expansion of Darrington would go on forever, then in 1929, when the devastation of the Great Depression hit Darrington it all changed. In 1930 the town of Darrington received a report from the secretary of the state board of education, stating that high school facilities were "inadequate." The Darrington School district #319 was challenged to reorganize, and acquire funding for a new high school.
The second Darrington High School built in 1937
In spite of the Great Depression, the school board did procure the money needed to build a new high school. The school district reorganized to include all outlying schools. All children were bussed to Darrington, with the exception of the Whitehorse school. Construction of the new high school began in 1936, and it opened in 1937. The old high school built in 1925 was later used as a dormitory for some of the teachers then later was the school band building.
The second high school with west wing added
A west wing was added in the year of 1952 or 1953 to house the elementary students and the old two story elementary school was later torn down.
In the early 1990s, the high school was built where it is today. The old concrete block building was torn down, and the land set aside for a city park. To this day, there are many bittersweet memories of that fateful day when the big school was demolished. In spite of the Great Depression, Darrington had pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and built a grand school. One surely to be proud of.

The Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) is a not-for-profit, national technical association that focusses on road and highway infrastructure and urban transportation.
Our 500 corporate members include all levels of governments, private sector companies, academic institutions, and other associations. TAC provides a neutral, non-partisan forum for those organizations, and their thousands of staff, to come together to share ideas and information, build knowledge, and pool resources in addressing transportation issues and challenges.
TAC celebrated its centennial in 2014 and, with over 100 years of history in the transportation sector, is continuing its important work to develop publications identifying best practices and encouraging harmonization of those practices across jurisdictions. While TAC does not set standards, it is a principle source of guidelines for planning, design, construction, management, operation, and maintenance of road, highway, and urban transportation infrastructure systems and services.
TAC is governed by a Board of Directors elected from all levels of government, the private sector, associations and academia. The Board sets the strategic direction for our organization and oversees TAC's volunteer councils and committees.
TAC Board of Directors, September 2019
Our councils and committees share knowledge, exchange information and discuss a wide variety of issues to advance the state of transportation. This collective exchange helps develop and update TAC's national guidelines and best practices. It also helps provide researched solutions to address the current and future challenges faced by the transportation industry.
Participation in our councils and committees is available to TAC members. Consider becoming a TAC member to benefit from information, preferred pricing on a variety of products and services, and more.
The TAC Secretariat provides staff support for the Association's activities.
The origins of TAC date back to 1914, when the Canadian Good Roads Association (CGRA) was founded. At that time, CGRA was mainly concerned with the establishment of a superior national road network and was one of the main forces behind construction of the Trans-Canada Highway.
1950-51 Newly elected Executive Committee of the Canadian Good Roads Association; TAC
During the 1950s, CGRA became more involved with specialized technical activities. By the 1960s, its role had broadened, resulting in a name change to the Roads and Transportation Association of Canada (RTAC) in 1970.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, RTAC continued to expand its mandate to include all modes of transport for passengers and freight. In 1990, we changed our name to the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) to reflect the increased scope of activities.
In 2001, a more focused mandate was adopted, with a particular emphasis on roadway infrastructure and urban area transportation issues.
In 2014, we celebrated our centennial anniversary. In reaching this milestone, we celebrated the past, present and future of transportation in Canada by inviting our members, partners, key transportation stakeholders, and students to take part in this year-long campaign.

In the issue tracker, Larry Masinter commented: I don't think there have been any such registrations or even scheme names. It's not a bad idea to use faceted scheme names for private application URI schemes, but just orgname.application.purpose or even orgname.purpose or applicationname.purpose would also be OK and useful. I agree with Mykyta that we might as well remove this code path if no one has ever used it. Let organizations use their best judgment about names for organization-specific schemes.
