Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Despite Orange County's long ties to the military, John Wayne Airport has not had a USO Center as a retreat for active duty, reserve and retired military personnel and their families. At least not until now.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors has approved construction of the airport's first USO center next to the baggage claim area in Terminal B.
The center is expected to open in August and will offer refreshments, computers, Wi-Fi and video games, and travel assistance. All the services will be free.
"We recognized a need," said Bob Kurkjian, executive director of the Bob Hope USO. "This will be a home away from home."
Defense Department records showed 20,000 active-duty military personnel traveling on orders use John Wayne every year, Kurkjian said. When leisure travel is included, he estimated 100,000 or more people could be eligible to use the new USO center.
The county helped the nonprofit USO by leasing space for the John Wayne center for five years at $1 a year.
Snyder Langston, the Irvine-based builder, agreed to design and build the center as an in-kind donation.
Popularized by the late entertainer Bob Hope and his shows for the troops, the USO dates to 1941 as a place for the military to visit for entertainment and help.
The USO has centers at Los Angeles International, Ontario International, Palm Springs International and San Diego International airports.

TAMUT gets farm; Texarkana college gets Robison campus
TEXARKANA - Texas A&M University-Texarkana (A&M) and Texarkana College (TC) announced a building and land swap.
With the swap, the university will convey all of its property on Robison Rd. to Texarkana College including the Aikin Building, the academic building, 3.25 acres near College Bowl and the Moss Library. In exchange, the university will receive the college's farm and $340,000.
The college will lease the academic building until July 31, 2016, then pay $340,000 to finalize the deal.
It make sense for the university to make this arrangement before planning on future construction at the University Drive campus, according to A&M System Chancellor John Sharp.
In the 1970s, A&M and TC shared the Robison Rd. location. A&M, then East Texas State University, served upperclassman, and TC served those seeking an associate degree or certificate.
With the state's approval of A&M accepting freshman and sophomore students, the university began construction of a new campus at Bringle Lake. The university moved most of its business to the University Dr. in July 2010, after it first building was completed. The buildings have sat empty since.
The college's farm is near Redwater. The college has owned the property since the 1970s, and for years it served as a place for students to study farm animals and plants. However, in the last decade, it has not been used as it once was.

NEW BOSTON, BOWIE COUNTY - Renewable Energy Group (REG) has acquired a 15 million gallon-per-year biorefinery at 280 Texas Ave. The company paid $300,000 in cash and issued 900,000 shares of its common stock to North Texas Bio Energy for the multi-feedstock biorefinery 22 miles west of Texarkana.

Demo starts $20M Rose Hill Ridge in Texarkana
TEXARKANA, TEX. - Demolition has been completed on the abandoned Griff King Courts brick-and-cinder-block public housing units. The units dated back to 1954.
The demolition marks the beginning of the third and final major Rose Hill redevelopment phase by the Housing Authority of Texarkana, Texas (HATT). Removal and demolition operations are slated to be complete by June.
Construction will then begin on the $20 million, 25-building Rose Hill Ridge apartment complexes on the former Griff King site at 1125 Stuckey St., according to HATT officials.
Rose Hill Ridge, which will have 122 family apartments with one- to four-bedroom units, will have solar panels and a rainwater conservation system. Once construction is finished, the apartments will have units ranging from 780 to 1,551 sf.
Of the 122 new units, 30 will be public housing while the rest will be tax credit housing.

Survey update on Texarkana's Rose Hill
TEXARKANA, TEX. - After two years of redeveloping public housing in the Rose Hill neighborhood, the efforts of the Housing Authority of Texarkana, Texas (HATT) have mixed results, according to a survey report by Texas A&M University-Texarkana.
The report released to HATT's Board of Commissioners indicates that tenants are still primarily African-American (98 percent). On average, residents are older than 19 and have become more educated than reported on in the first survey, which was released in February 2011.
Of the 154 to 159 residents surveyed, 92 percent said they were greatly satisfied with the new complexes, except for limited storage space.
The university began tracking Rose Hill demographics in 2010 as part of HATT's plan to revitalize the neighborhood.
Two years ago, the authority demolished Covington Homes on Milam Street (built in 1942 as Bowie Courts) and built the $16 million Oaks at Rose Hill townhouse apartments on the site.
Earlier this year, HATT razed Steven Courts, built in 1942 on West 15th St., and built the $18 million Pecan Ridge townhouse apartments.
The report suggested that the authority promote education in the Rose Hill community, with emphasis on employment education and skills development. There also was a recommendation to attract and maintain employment in the area.

Texarkana wastewater plant in the works
TEXARKANA, TEXAS - The TexAmericas Center board has approved a $5.4 million contract with Heritage Constructors of Texarkana, Texas to build a new wastewater treatment plant.
The plant will be on the east side of TexAmericas' property, replacing the existing plant. After the new plant is built, the existing plant will be demolished, except for the sludge-drying beds.
The plant will be a sequencing batch reactor (SBR), not common to the area. Sewer plants here are location-based, while sequencing batch reactor technology is time-based, according to David Williams, an engineer with MTG Engineering firm.
An SBR plant takes up less space, does not need a clarifier, has a simple sludge-removal process and has less equipment to maintain, Williams said.
Red River Army Depot and tenants at TexAmericas are among those who will use the plant.
The majority of the funding for the project comes from a 2005 bond issue. Construction is scheduled to be completed in summer 2013.

Travel is also on the rise at Texarkana Regional Airport. Passenger numbers are up over 8 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, rental cars are up 11 percent and parking is up 13 percent, according to Stephen Luebbert with the airport.
A new terminal at the airport is in the works. In August, the airport received a $485,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for an environmental assessment, which is required before construction can begin.
The expected cost to construct the terminal is $21 million, with approximately $6 million over five years projected to come from the city government of both Texarkanas.

TEXARKANA, TEX. - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the City of Texarkana $300,000 for the Brownfields Job Training Program.
The program's aim is to train regional residents for environmental jobs, either locally or across the country. City officials hope to place at least 45 of the projected 51 students in full-time environmental jobs, preferably in Texarkana.

About 90 percent of the training will be done through the Texas Engineering Extension Service.

MOUNT PLEASANT, TITUS COUNTY (Fort Worth Business Press) - The Elizabeth Hoggatt Whatley Agriculture Complex at Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) in Mount Pleasant, has been completed as one of the first NetZero educational facilities in Texas.

Sustainable components built into the design include a rainwater harvest catchment basin, energy efficient pumps, a lighting control system, and a photovoltaic solar array, intended to provide on-site renewable energy.

Hanson at Revolution Live, November 6
Categories: Concert Review, Last Night
|Photo by Devin Desjarlais
With Jarrod Gorbel
Revolution Live
Saturday, November 6, 2010
Better than: Watching a boy band with choreographed dance moves.
Surely you remember those three cute boys from the '90s who used to provide a serious gender fake-out and their earworm "MMMbop." Yes, they're still around.
The shows themselves have aged much like the fans. On Saturday, the Hanson brothers burst onto stage, after a mind-numbing act by Jarrod Gorbel and his admittedly very pretty female sidekick/violin player, with the song "Waiting for This." As soon as lead singer Taylor Hanson beckoned the girls with his tight pants and gyrating hips, they screamed. Really, really loudly.
Fans aren't afraid to be boisterous, as described by the eardrum-bashing decibel level. Toward the end of the show, one such fan begged for the song "Save Me," prompting Taylor to tell her to "keep your panties on." She was rewarded during the encore.
The surprise of the night had to be "Speechless," which is from their Middle of Nowhere album (the one that got them famous.) They never play more than a select few songs from that album, so this song jarred the crowd to a frenzy.
Unfortunately, Taylor's voice sounded uncharacteristically flat. At least three songs featured drummer Zac Hanson, who normally sits at his kit looking bashful or pissed, as the lead singer. While Taylor and Isaac seem to really enjoy their time with the fans, smiling and talking about music, Zac always looks bored with the lifestyle. Instead of embracing his life as a role model, he almost hides on stage.
What's interesting about Hanson shows is that they will get personal with the fans. The brothers walk a mile with their fans before each concert to raise awareness for the world's plights. So it didn't really surprise anyone in the crowd when they started hinting at infidelity in the family during their explanation of "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'." Taylor described it as "that song for anyone that's ever been cheated on" while subtly pointing his thumb in Zac's direction. Isaac offered a second explanation, also taking a pointed glance toward the drum set. When it was Zac's turn to explain the song, he took a whole other approach, describing how he feels like he's cheating on Cheese Puffs when eating fruit.
Thankfully this side of the drummer didn't really affect the show. Ultimately their performance itself was spot-on and left all the single ladies wanting just a little bit more.
Critic's Notebook
The crowd: The fans are no longer screaming 10-year-olds but have aged into crazed middle-aged women. The crowd at Saturday's Hanson show at Revolution Live was a mix of the crazed women, a few sultry indie girls, and surprisingly quite a few straight men who enjoy the brothers' musical talents.
Personal bias: I love Hanson, but Zac's attitude is getting really old.
Seen: A guy in a wheelchair who was able to jump with the crowd during "If Only" thanks to the helping hands of (who I assume to be) his father. I went over to him afterward and told him how awesome he is. That's dedication to a band.
Overheard (kind of): A girl in the crowd tweeted after the show "Joe Jonas has competition, his name is Zac Hanson."

|Gregor's Ramblings on Enterprise Integration
|Home • Patterns • Ramblings • Articles • Talks • Download • Links • Books • Contact
I have been looking for a way to share more thoughts and ideas on my site without committing to a regular blog. For now, I created these "rambling" pages to talk about timely topics. Most entries will be longer than typical blog entries but will likely also appear much less frequently. I call them "ramblings" because these notes are typically based on my personal opinions and observations as opposed to official "articles".
Subscribe to my ramblings via this RSS Feed.
Correspondingly, one of my daily struggles is to convince others to write as well and to coach them to become better writers. In a sense, this forces me to transport what I know about writing from purely procedural knowledge, i.e. I know how to do it, to declarative knowledge, i.e. being able to understand why it is done and to describe to others how to do it.
While this rambling's title is a pun on the popular books "Japanese for busy People", it intentionally implies an ambiguity that we are both writing for a busy audience, but are busy authors as well.

|DC Universe > Wonder Woman
|The women of Paradise Island learn of the slayer activation spell. Wonder Woman Diana and her sister Donna are sent out into the world to investigate. Diana becomes Diana Prince once more and connects with Steve Trevor Jr. to learn more about the slayers. Steve has an old friend who was a part of the DRI and is concerned. He contacts Riley and Sam Finn for information on the situation.
Buffy has become slayer prime and is working with Giles and the Scoobies including Faith in England to restore the council. The crown agrees to allow Giles to take over if he takes his rightful place as a Lord. He is ordered to marry within a year to Buffy or the council will go back to the Traverse family. Buffy and Giles are forced to wed because the crown wants to have some control over the slayer line. Buffy having lost Spike and Angel agrees much to the shock of everyone. In this fic they are engaged and working on their new relationship. They are confronted by the American government in the form of Steve Trevor and Diana Prince and are forced to create an alliance with both the American government and the Amazons. Buffy and Faith learn that they are related to Diana and are descendants of the Amazons who were kidnapped by Hercules and crewman who became the first watchers. The big bad is open for discussion but there must be a battle where the slayers and Amazons must work together to save the world. The world will learn about the Amazons and the world will thing the Slayers are an off shoot.
The rest is open for the author. Other crossovers are welcome as long as it is not Dr. Who or Tourchwood which I so dislike.
All pairing should be cannon complainant.

10 home design trends in 2014

Looking back on the design trends that have emerged over the past few years, some have certainly had more staying power than others (and thereby solidified their status as more than just fads). For instance, while taxidermy, chalkboard-painted walls and neon seem to be losing steam, high-gloss finishes and Beni Ourain rugs remain popular.
So what can we expect to see more of this year? From color palettes to metal and wood finishes to artwork, we asked a group of local experts to offer their predictions for what will be hot in home design in 2014. Whether you're looking for a low-key refresh or have a full-fledged remodel in mind, these ideas can be introduced in varying degrees to suit your space and personal style.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

By: Jen Samp, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Doctor Gretchen Chapman Steininger's name and photo are no longer on VetStat's website.
Instead a new face appeared: Doctor Adena Robertson.
The clinic reopened its doors after being closed for weeks.
Doctor Robertson says when she saw stories at KOB Eyewitness News 4 and said she knew another vet needed to take over.
"That's where I saw a need, we need to open up the doors and be there for the patients and be there for the owners," Robertson said.
Robertson let camera crews in the back of the clinic were surgeries take place.
"This is where all the work gets done," she said, "You want to get sterile, scrub up, glove up, and get into surgery as soon as possible. The rooms get disinfected once they are done, that way we minimize the spread of other viruses."
Robertson says she is trying to improve the perception by volunteer work, visiting schools, and have an open line of communication with pet owners.
"Obviously it effects clients' perception but for me I don't look into the past I always look forward," said Robertson.
Last month the New Mexico board of veterinary medicine revoked Dr. Gretchen Chapman-Steininger's license.
At the time, she was the only licensed vet at the clinic.
A state inspector found dirty surgery tools, medications that were expired and allegations of abuse.
But Chapman-Stieninger argues those claims were made by staff members who have a personal grudge against her.
Right now, the state says Chapman-Steininger is not allowed to touch a scalpel, but she is allowed to work in the office.
Dr. Robertson says it's time for a clean start.
Staff members even posted a light hearted video on the KOB Facebook page.
Doctor Robertson says the best medicine for trust is time.
The staff says Dr. Gretchen Chapman-Steininger is only doing clerical work now.
The new doctor, Adena Robertson says her license would be on the line, if the former vet practices in this clinic.

.- The Australian government is considering overturning a 12-year-old policy prohibiting the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) from funding abortion advice, training and services in developing countries.
Opponents of the policy change say it is driven by domestic ideological concerns rather than requests from aid-receiving nations. Those supporting a revamp of the current policy claim it harms women in the Asia-Pacific region's poorest countries, Cybercast News Service reports.
The present Australian policy was instated by the Liberal-National coalition government of former Prime Minister John Howard due to the work of pro-life independent senator Brian Harradine.
There is growing support for the "Harradine guidelines" to be overturned. A cross-party parliamentary group in May 2007 called the policy "cruel and illogical" and claimed it effectively encouraged unsafe illegal abortions.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's Labor government is now examining the issue. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, who can lift the restrictions without any legislative action, has asked the Labor caucus to debate the issue and recommend what action to take, if any.
Senator Ron Boswell of the National Party is leading efforts to preserve the regulations. He asked a Senate hearing on government expenditure whether AusAID recipient countries had requested abortion-related funding.
"The [foreign affairs] department responded that they were not aware of any particular requests to fund abortion related activities," he said.
"Why is the Rudd government even considering funding abortion in its overseas aid programs when Australia has never done so in the past and has not been approached by other countries to do so?"
Boswell said churches and church aid agencies would oppose "any decision to use Australia's overseas aid programs to further the ideological aims of a pro-abortion lobby group at home." Boswell predicted a backlash from Christian voters if the policy is changed.
According to Cybercast News Service, Labor lawmaker Bob McMullan said some Australians share Boswell's view of the policy, but "a large bulk of people" did not feel passionately about it, and others opposed it.The Harradine guidelines have been compared to the U.S. government's "Mexico City Policy," which denies aid funds to non-governmental organizations that promote or perform abortions.

Steps to Recognition
Privileges of Recognized Student Organizations
Suspension of Recognition
Disciplinary Procedure Against Student Organization
Reactivation of a Student Organization
Annual Requirement to Remain Active
Student Organization Events
Requirements and Responsibilities of Recognized Student Organizations
The Student Senate is responsible for the recognition of new student organizations, subject to the approval of the Bemidji State University (BSU) President or his designee. The following steps are offered as a guide.
3) Advisors are required for all student organizations. The advisor should have an interest in the group's purpose and goals. If the group is affiliated with an academic discipline, faculty members of the associated department should be contacted. Any current faculty, staff, or administrative member of the University may serve as advisor of a student organization. The advisor should be an on-campus person and must be approved by the Associate Director, who may be consulted on possible advisors. The University administration reserves the right to reject an organization's choice of advisor and to request a new advisor be named. Emeriti, former faculty and staff, or community members with University administration approval may serve as an advisor if it is in the best interest of the student organization.
4) Representatives of the applying student group may want to meet directly with the Student Senate prior to formal action on approval to answer questions and concerns that may affect the decision.
5) Once a constitution is submitted to the Student Senate, review and official recognition should be granted within two to three weeks during the academic year. After Senate approval, its recommendation is transmitted to the University President or his designee through the Associate Director, HMU.
All recognized student organizations shall be accorded the same privileges. University recognition does not mean endorsement of the purposes or activities of any organization by the faculty, administration, or students. It means only that the organization is accepted as meeting the minimum requirements for all student organizations. Privileges of recognized student organizations include:
Recognition may be suspended by the the Associate Director, subject to appeal to the University President or his designee, when:
Recognized student organizations in violation of University policies are subject to probation, revocation of recognition, or other disciplinary action through the Associate Director. Questions about these guidelines or requests for additional information should be referred to the Associate Director at 755-3760 or to the Vice President for Student Development and Enrollment Office at 755-2075.
If an organization has become inactive and wishes regain recognized organization status, it must go through the complete process of recognition. This process is the same as that of any organization requesting initial recognition. Students interested in reactivating a past organization should check with the Associate Director to see if a past constitution is available.
At the end of Spring Semester, each organization should register for the upcoming year on CollegiateLink. The Intent to be Active form is found on CollegiateLink as a "Register" button underneath the organization that needs to register when viewing the site after clicking the "Organizations" tab. This form must be completed each year for an organization to remain active and recognized by BSU. An announcement will be made when registration is live.
Student organization events are considered university business. As such, BSU has a vested interest in the activities that student organizations participate in. It is required that all Student Organization Travel be approved by the VP of Student Development and Enrollment, if in-state, and by the President if the travel is out of state or country. This policy applies even if your organization is using personal vehicles for travel. The "Travel and Vehicle Request" form can be found at the following address: www.bemidjistate.edu/offices/business/forms.cfm
Any student organization hosting an indoor or outdoor on campus event must abide by the following:
• BSU Students and their guests will abide by the BSU Code of Conduct
• The sponsoring organization is responsible for the actions of any contracted entertainment.
• Alcohol and drugs are not permitted. The sponsoring organization should deny admission to individuals that appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• The sponsoring organization should monitor event participants to prevent unruly behavior and, if present, act responsibly in addressing the occurrence.

This is also a great bread recipe for beginners - because we'll be weighing all the crucial ingredients, there's less chance of things going awry.
P.S. Want something super yummy to put on your bread? Try my strawberry butter!
Step 1: Ingredients + tools
- 500 grams all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 7 grams of active dry yeast
- 3 T olive oil
- 300 mL warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- small kitchen scale
- mixing bowls
- parchment paper
- probe thermometer
Step 2: Initial mixing
Step 3: Forming a dough
Make a well in the flour, and pour in the water/yeast/sugar mix and the olive oil. Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to mix it all together. It will begin to clump up and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Make sure you're stirring so you're pulling the flour from the bottom up - otherwise you'll be left with lots of flour on the bottom!
I don't recommend adding any extra water at this time - you might think you need it, but I promise it will pull together.
Step 4: Kneading
I'd say it takes 4-5 minutes, normally.
Flour your work surface, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Keep adding more flour as it gets sticky. You can see in the first photo how smooth the dough should be when you're ready to go!
Hello. It looks like a great recipe. The only thing about it is that in the US, a scale is not a common thing to have in the kitchen (our measurement system is just ridiculous) so I have no way of measuring how many grams something is. Could you pretty please add to the instructable how much flour in cups we need? We americans would appreciate it a lot, as this seems to be the only recipe for bread on the site :)

Q: What is autolyse?
Desiree, via email
A: Autolyse is a technique for improving gluten development without heavy kneading. Combine the flour and water from your formula in a bowl, and mix until the flour is fully hydrated. Cover the bowl and let the flour continue hydrating for 20 minutes, then mix in the remaining ingredients. The result is development comparable to a dough that has been kneaded for 5 or 10 minutes with less oxidation, which may lead to a yellow crumb.
Thank you for the recipes and all the help.
Shouting loud: I want to work at instructables, Jessy brings awesome food :[)

They realize that no two tattoos should be the same and craft a visual representation of each client's imagined look within the privacy of individual booths. Certified body piercer Mallory Cox—whose apprenticeship and training included approved sterilization techniques and anatomy courses—adds bling to ears, noses, and fashion-forward tin men.
The technicians can also discard old, unwanted tattoos with the MedLite C6 Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser system, which they use in conjunction with the Cryo 6 cooling machine to minimize discomfort.
Kathy Wise, A You'Nique Image's owner and a board-certified permanent-cosmetic-makeup technician with more than 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, dedicates herself to helping clients achieve their beauty goals. In between the permanent-makeup applications that she performs, Kathy spends her time overseeing an authoritative staff of hair stylists, nail specialists, and med-spa technicians. The center brims with such skin-refining hardware as FDA-approved microdermabrasion equipment and a Youth Light 2010 photo-rejuvenation system. Opting for a permanent-makeup application, like working toward an associate's degree at clown college, ensures that eye and lip regions remain colorful for up to two years.
