Wills Trusts Estates (LAW-697-003)
Basha, Steele
There are no notices at this time.
This course is designed to familiarize students with the various forms of estate planning, including a detailed comparative study of probate versus nonprobate assets, and Wills versus Trusts. We also intend to educate students about the interplay of other legal disciplines (i.e., tax, conflict of laws, international relations, etc.) that factor into effective estate planning. Students will also learn the rights of various parties in an estate plan, such as surviving spouses, children, trust beneficiaries, and creditors, and how those rights are altered depending on the form of the decedent's estate plan.

Season 2: Episode 35: Civil WarFeeling left out when he thinks that his father selectively asked his brother to join a Civil War re-enactment, Ray voluntarily enlists for the Battle of Gettysburg. As the men prepare for Battle, a funny thing happens and Ray is finally able to tell Frank that he wishes they did more together. Although Frank's on the side of the North and Raymond's on the side of the South, the Barone soldiers are able to put their political differences aside and share much more than a Civil War handshake.

A BLAME game row has erupted over who was responsible for the failure of the Weymouth Bayside Festival, which closed with debts of more than £800,000.
The festival village had been part of the attractions in Weymouth during the Olympic fortnight and was shut down after a week with organisers blaming poor visitor numbers.
Now a war of words has broken out over who was responsible with festival organisers Mainsail Ltd, which has gone into liquidation, laying the blame of the event's collapse at the door of Weymouth and Portland Borough Council claiming lower than expected visitor numbers to the area was a major reason the event folded.
The council has hit back, stating Olympic visitor number estimates came from research by organisations.
It said Mainsail decided to charge people and closed the day before an estimated 100,000 visitors came to the resort for a weekend of sailing medal races, including 'super sailing Sunday' when Ben Ainslie won his fourth historic gold medal.
It comes as it is revealed administrators for the liquidation of Mainsail Ltd have published the director's estimate of what the company owes as £804,895.
Of this Weymouth and Portland Borough Council is owed £97,000 for the development of the festival area – a car park Weymouth Pavilion – and rent.
Other creditors include traders, entertainers, staff, employee claims, advanced ticket sales, trade and expense accounts and a bank.
The festival, which included music, displays and food, set up to coincide with 2012 sailing events, closed 10 days prematurely on August 3.
The company went into liquidation on August 30, and as part of the liquidation process the administrators Portland Business and Financial Solutions Ltd produced a report on Mainsail's affairs and creditors.
In a director's report, Mainsail managing director Joe Hall said he had been told by the borough council they expected visitor numbers of 50,000 a day and they intended to attract 10 per cent of those.
Figures were reassessed following research commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority in May 2012 stated they expected 60,000 visitors for most days, 90,000 on four days and 117,000 in the middle weekend. Mr Hall said these forecasted numbers had a 'direct impact' on the costs associated with Bayside as it meant they needed extra toilets, security staff and visitor management.
Mr Hall said the Bayside business model was based on the two 'key drivers', first that there would be enough people coming to Weymouth and second that they would be willing to pay to enter the site. In the first few days the festival was attracting just over a third of its 9,000 capacity. When the visitors 'did not materialise' he spoke to the borough council and LOCOG on August 1 to request financial support to allow the festival to continue until the end of the Olympics , but he said: "Unfortunately both parties were unable to provide any further support."
He added that other factors like negative transport messages warning of possible transport problems and a hike in the price of the park and rides 'may have put people off coming'.
Mr Hall attributed Mainsail's failure to the following reasons: "The costs associated with building the infrastructure based on the increased expected footfall provided by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council.
"The dramatically lower attendance to the Weymouth area during the Olympic fortnight than estimated by the borough council and other organisations, resulting in an inability to recover costs."
He added: "I never doubted the forecasted attendance figures and due to the nature of the event there was no possibility of a 'Plan B' should they not materialise."
Administrators Portland Business and Financial Solutions Ltd said that the liquidation process was underway and they would be looking at the assets and creditors to Mainsail Ltd.
Case manager Stewart Goldsmith said the director's estimate of company liabilities came to £804,895. He said: "Until the work of liquidation is underway and certain assets are realised, it's difficult to say how much will be recouped, if at all."
BOROUGH council bosses have hit back stating they never gave guarantees of visitor numbers during the Olympics.
Chief Executive of Weymouth and Portland Borough Council David Clarke , left, said the borough council took 'no role in operating the Bayside Festival or the decision to end it early'.
He added the borough council had not received any rent for the site and was pursuing the legal process for the £97,000 which it was owed.
Mr Clarke said: "Figures of as many as 60,000 visitors to Weymouth and Portland were based on the estimate of approximately 30,000 staying visitors in the area, together with planning by the Olympic Delivery Authority for additional park and ride facilities for up to a potential 30,000 day visitors."
He said this was based on research carried out by Transport for London and the Olympic Delivery Authority to help plan for the delivery of the Games, including transport and crowd management and evacuation planning.
He added: "No guarantees of visitor number were, or indeed could be given."
He added that Mainsail and not the borough council decided on the 'scale and scope' of the festival and Mainsail changed the operation from the originally proposed 'free to enter' site to a paid for attraction.
Mr Clarke said: "Mainsail made the decision themselves to close the site, the very day before there were an estimated 100,000 visitors in the town over the weekend."
Mr Clarke added promotional assistance had been given to Bayside but that financial help would have been 'inappropriate'.
Mr Clarke added that it had 'always' been known that the number of visitors per day to the Nothe was only 4,600 and there was 'no certainty' about the number of general day visitors that might come for the Games.
He said: "The plans of the council, other public agencies and the emergency services demonstrated our preparedness by the delivery of a very successful games and the estimated visitor numbers were used in preparing these successful plans."

Traditions Tournament Bracket
PHILADELPHIA - With more than 71 percent of the vote, the University of Pennsylvania's beloved toast toss tradition toppled top-seeded Florida State in the first round of the College Football Traditions Tournament. Penn advanced to take on Mississippi State's Cow Bells in the second round.You can vote for the Quakers in Round 2 here.
One of the most unique traditions in sports, the toast tossreceived more first round votes (2,833) than any of the other 32 schools selected for the tournament. Penn is the only FCS school in the tournament and is a No. 8 seed.
In the first round, the toast toss beat No. 1 seeded Florida State's Chief Osceola and the flaming spear. Mississippi State is a No. 4 seed and beat No. 5 Auburn's War Eagle. Second round voting takes place through July 12. #VoteToast here.
The toast toss takes place after the third quarter of home football games where Quaker fans unite in the singing of "Drink a Highball." As the last line is sung - "Here's a toast to dear old Penn" - the fans toss toast onto the sidelines.
Toast covers the track surrounding the field and the beloved "Toast Zamboni" sweeps up the bread. A group of engineering students modified Penn's motorized turf cleaner so it would be able to pick up larger pieces of trash, and the "Toast Zamboni" is now a permanent fixture at Penn football games.
Originally, fans literally drank a highball, but the act of throwing toast was adopted after alcohol was banned from the stadium in the late 1970s. Students turned towards bread, and even bagels, so that they could continue to raise a "toast" to Penn.
The first toast toss at historic Franklin Field this season will be Sept. 21 when Quakers begin their defense of the Ivy title against Lafayette. It will mark the 119th season at Franklin Field - the nation's oldest collegiate football stadium.

Owning a home is a 365-day-a-year commitment -- a mortgage to pay, a yard to maintain and bills to juggle. But experts say that evaluating key exterior elements of your home at least once annually can prevent some bills from skyrocketing.
"The key to saving money and keeping a home comfortably livable is to be proactive in evaluating and fixing its major components," says Mark Clement, host of MyFixItUpLife home improvement radio show and a professional contractor for 20 years. "Don't wait to replace older, inefficient windows until your energy bills soar out of control. Investing in newer, more energy efficient and low maintenance exterior products can have a major impact on the livability and return on investment of a home and deliver terrific peace of mind."
If your roof is damaged by severe weather or is old and leaking, investing in a new roof made of durable polymer slate or shake tiles will pay off for decades to come. For example, some companies make shingles that have a 50-year warranty, resist impact, fire and all kinds of insects.
For exterior trim pieces, swap out wood trim that is susceptible to rotting and insect infestation with urethane and PVC trim products.
"Synthetic millwork, like pieces that are available from Fypon, resist moisture, humidity, insects and termites, swelling and rot," Clement advises. "Once you install these low-maintenance trim pieces around doors, windows, soffits and other exterior areas, you're golden."
For functional areas of the home, like windows and doors, use solidly-constructed, man-made products. For example, energy-efficient vinyl windows and a fiberglass entryway systems could have long-term warranties, and can help you enhance the long-term value and aesthetic appeal of your home while saving on energy bills.
A recent report on return-on-investment and home repair, the "Remodeling 2011–12 Cost vs. Value Report" (www.costvsvalue.com), shows that replacing older, inefficient windows with upscale vinyl windows is one of the ten most popular projects with payback for homeowners, and has a higher projected return-on-investment than several other popular home upgrade projects, including bathroom remodels or additions, major kitchen remodels or the addition of a master suite.
"Almost no building product lasts forever," he warns. "Homeowners should continually evaluate the exterior elements on their home, research replacement options, and invest in products that are solidly constructed by a quality manufacturer that offers a strong warranty."

AN ANNUAL fun day in Weymouth has once again been hailed a huge success.
Littlemoor Fun Day attracted thousands of people on Saturday, proving to be bigger and better than ever before.
Unlike last year, organisers had the weather on their side with the sun shining throughout the day.
Held in Top Club field off Louviers Road, the event featured a number of performances and displays from local groups.
There were also charity stalls, children's rides and activities, trampolines and even steam engine rides.
The event was part-funded by 3Zone Neighbourhood Panel, which is sponsored by Synergy, part of the Aster Group.
Money was also received from the 'Working with You' initiative, launched by the Weymouth and Portland Partnership.
Jan Hinton, one of the organisers, said the event brought the community together.
She said: "This is our fourth year. We run it because it is so expensive for parents to take their children to Weymouth on the bus all the time.
"It's nice to have a local event where people can enjoy themselves."
Weymouth Community Volunteers helped run the event on the day, assisting in a number of areas. Jan expressed her gratitude towards them.
She said: "Weymouth Community Volunteers have been brilliant. They helped us with the set up, they're doing face painting, car park duties and generally anything that needs doing."
Stalls were set up around the field raising money for local charities, such as Julia's House and Weldmar Hospicecare.
There were performances during the day from the likes of the Second Edition Majorettes.
Cllr Christine James attended the event in her position as deputy mayor of Weymouth and Portland.
She said: "I think it's brilliant. It's been an absolutely brilliant day.
"My granddaughter is my escort for the day and she's loving it. It's so nice that so many people come out to enjoy it and that it gets the community together."
Former Weymouth and Portland mayor Jess Nagel also attended the event.
She said: "This is absolutely fantastic. I'm full of admiration for all the organisers who put this on. It's so well-supported by the public.
"They have put a lot of hard work into this."

New York Jets Game Highlights From October 9th- Week 6
The Houston Texans remain unbeaten after beating the New York Jets for the first time in team history, 23-17, on Monday night football. Good news for The Texans: they now join the Atlanta Falcons as the NFL's only teams without a loss this season. Bad news for the Jets: we still play Mark Sanchez.
The Jets had a chance to take the lead with less than two minutes remaining, but Mark Sanchez's pass was intercepted. Big shocker there right? Before that, the Jets turned to Tim Tebow, who got the crowd going after he ran for a first down on a fake punt, but he didn't do much more than that.
New York then went three-and-out, an all-too-common series for the Jets this season — as chants of "Tee-boww! Tee-boww!" started after Sanchez's first incomplete pass on second down. Tebow made his first appearance on the Jets' fifth play from scrimmage and, to a wave of cheers, threw a pinpoint deep pass to newcomer Jason Hill. But the receiver dropped it, Tebow departed and Sanchez missed Clyde Gates on third down, bringing on a chorus of boos."
What is the answer for the Jets? Is it Tebow?

One of the Bible's best leadership models comes from an unlikely source.
The name Pharaoh often gets a bad rap because of the one Moses encountered in the book of Exodus. Yet another Pharaoh can be counted among the Bible's greatest leaders, as his wise choices led to the very survival of a nation. This was Joseph's contemporary, mentioned in Genesis 37-50.
Egypt in Joseph's time was the most powerful nation in the world. When Joseph first arrived, the nation was prospering under Pharaoh's leadership, with no end in sight. Typically we pay attention to the role Joseph played in interpreting Pharaoh's doubleheader dreams and advising the ruler on what Egypt needed to do to prepare for the imminent famine. Yet what follows this marks Pharaoh as a leader worthy of emulating.
Building More Than Pyramids
In Genesis 40:1-5, 20-23; 41:1-4, 33-57; 47:1-4, you'll find the following characteristics of Pharaoh that make obvious his remarkable leadership and administrative style.
1. Pharaoh made quick decisions when he found the right person. He knew he had found a "star" in Joseph, and he acted quickly to secure the foreigner's services and wisdom. Joseph was young and had a shady past, but he had wisdom. Good people are hard to find and sometimes harder to manage. When you find them, hire them!
2. Pharaoh partnered with his opposite. He didn't fill his staff with people like him but brought in some "opposites." Pharaoh hired a good operations man in Joseph to carry out the day-to-day plans of the kingdom. Partnering with opposites can be difficult, as they view life in contrast to your viewpoint. They can, however, see what you can't (and vice versa), thus strengthening the team through diversity and friendly dissent.
3. Pharaoh recognized the importance of talent and "special ability. " When Pharaoh met Joseph's brothers, he made an interesting comment: "If you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock" (Gen. 47:6, TNIV). He didn't give Joseph's brothers a job because they needed one or because they were Joseph's kin. Don't hire anyone because he needs a job or is related to someone on your staff. Hire because of his ability.
4. Pharaoh gave authority and established boundaries. He put Joseph in charge of operations to store food for the famine and then distribute food during it. Joseph's job description and expectations were unambiguous. Though Joseph's hiring was a quick one, his role and duties were clearly explained and well thought out.
5. Pharaoh used his power to empower the right people. All leaders have power. What distinguishes a good from a great or bad leader is how that power is used. Pharaoh used his authority to empower Joseph to do the job God had gifted him to do. Egypt's ruler used his power correctly to help his team get the job done. He listened to Joseph's strategy, approved it and then let Joseph do it with minimal input or interference.
Pharaoh was rewarded for his exceptional leadership skills. His country was saved from suffering and possible oblivion. Pharaoh secured a place in history as a good leader, in contrast to his counterpart who wielded heavy-handed, authoritarian control during the time of Moses.
What kind of leader do you want to be? Would you rather build a team full of Josephs or rule with an iron fist? Would you prefer to build for the future or erect monuments for yourself? Take some time to reflect on your own leadership style as it relates to Pharaoh's and see where you need to improve. Then set about building a more effective team so that you and your organization can be the fullest, most accurate expression of who it is that God intended for you to be.

DELAYS by the Co-op in building a new store in Hamworthy is resulting in it losing the loyalty of customers, it is claimed.
Hamside Residents Association has written a strong letter to the regional planning manager of the Co-operative Group following a successful application to extend planning permission for the temporary cabin on Blandford Road, Poole for a further year.
The store burnt down in the late summer of 2007 and since then planning applications have been approved but no full size store has materialised, to the frustration of residents.
The letter, signed by Hamside secretary Ann Smeaton, points out that the Co-op had been the main food shopping outlet in Hamworthy for three generations, dating back to the 1930s and over the years had built up a sound loyal customer base.
The association has carried out a Placecheck for the area, seeking the views of residents on what could be improved, and both written and verbal responses highlighted a "complete dissatisfaction" at the way the replacement of the store had been managed, said the letter.
"Whilst residents appreciated the speed in which the temporary store was erected to provide just the bare essentials, they consider that five years is more than enough time to have rebuilt the store that was destroyed by fire.
"As a consequence, the Co-op is no longer seen as being worthy of loyalty because residents are unable to complete a comprehensive weekly shop at their local Co-op which has meant that they have been forced to travel in order to shop (generally to Poole) – using the Co-op only for emergencies."
She described the reason given by the Co-op, of waiting to see if a supermarket was going to be built on the regeneration site as "pathetic" and said the former market leader should be leading, "not following".
A spokesperson for The Co-operative Food said: "We are aware of the importance of our store to the local community and we are committed to improving the service we offer.
"We are currently finalising plans for the site and we hope to be able to confirm details soon. We would like to once again apologise to local residents for the delay with the rebuild project."

I would like to know if it is possible to use php code to generate an image ALT. In every page will be the same picture, but ALT will be different (that is the name of the page).
<img src="path-to-my-static-image" width="379" height="70" alt="<?php [B]some-code-here-to-import-wordpress-post-name[/B] ?>" />
Is possible to generate automatic ALT (post name) for the same image ? For wordpress ?
If you have a single image that carries several ALT, how search engines will index the file? Once? Several times (the number of ALT)?
The alt text is what gets used for those people who can't see the image. Unless the image is being used for a different purpose in each page it ought to have the same alt text as that is what people who can't see the image will see or hear instead.
The only time that an image should have different alt text on different pages is where the purpose of the image is different. For example if you have a photo of you and your dog and one page is about you then the alt text might say 'me with my dog' while the same picture on the page about your dog might simply say 'my dog Fido'.
Whatever alt text you use should convey the same meaning as the image would.
I cannot conceive of a situation where the same image would identify which page you are on for more than one page. If the image is supposed to identify the page then a different image would be needed for each page.
The only time that an image should have different alt text on different pages is where the purpose of the image is different
My intention was an improvement of SEO.
And economy of resources and labor.I put the picture once and ALT change from one page to another.
There may be a code like the one that I mentioned above?
Try this:
<img src="path-to-my-static-image" width="379" height="70" alt="<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>" />
And replace SERVER_NAME with a parameter from the following list:
<?php print r( $_SERVER ); ?>
The alternative text has nothing to do with SEO. The intention of that attribute is to tell those people who can't see the image why the image is included in the page. The text MUST relate to that reason or it will be meaningless and blind people and those with images turned off will be uable to use your page properly.
Try reworking the text that everyone can see if you need to update the page for SEO purposes.
The alt has a dual function. As said, it tells the blind what the image is, and it tells google (aka seo) what the image is. Word
<?php echo get_query_var('name'); ?>
this may work if you are using wordpress with seo friendly url
Oh, God. PicnicTutorials and kalpitzYou are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
You helped me a lot and I implemented in 2 minutes on my site code.
The code for wordpress is :
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">
src="path-to-my-image" alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo the_title(); ?>"
Work like a charm. THANK YOU BOTH !!!
We romanian people think the same I was wondering how to do this and was looking for this stuff for wordpress! Saw it on a website and loved the effects on the SEO, great job Alina
Yes but the Google search engine bot effectively is a blind person as it can't see the image. Of course for every bot that can't see the image there are THOUSANDS of living people who can't and the bots are trying to treat the page the same as those people do so targetting the real people is the best thing you can do for SEO.

CRAIG Lazenby continued his good run of form to win the best 36-hole nett score of the day in the Enmore Stag.
In blustery conditions he was the only player besides Michael Bygrave, from Tidworth Garrison, to beat their handicap for 36 holes.
Michael, playing off three, was the surprise winner of the Stag, shooting an afternoon 69 and beating Enmore's Matt Kippen by two.
Matt lost a ball on the 16th in his second round after hitting a tree and made a seven, but eagled the last hole for a 73.
Enmore Park went down 4-2 at home to Tiverton last weekend in torrential rain.
Club captain Ken Doig and vice-captain Nigel Musgrave-Brown were beaten on the 18th green after a keenly contested game.
Rob Fear and Nigel Wixon got a hard fought half, as did Martin Collard and Andy Criddle.
Ian Lane and Gordon Baxter were beaten after a tough fight.
Nobby Clarke and Bob Read also succumbed, but Doug Read and Danny O'Loughlin were worthy winners, and won three and two.
The return match is on Sunday, June 29, at Tiverton.
The Seniors hosted their one and only match of the week against the East Somerset seniors of the Mendip club.
Though Enmore posted improved scores compared to recent performances, they still were unable to record a win, losing narrowly by 3½ to 4½.
Enmore's points were gained by Jim Smith with Jim Symcox and Phil Wood with Graham Pain, both by two and one, while three groups gained a half-point each, namel, John Parker with Chris Bishop, captain John Newell with Jim Potticary, and Derek Kelly with Jim Veale.
Next week sees an away trip for Enmore to Weston-super- Mare, followed quickly by a match at Honiton.
n The Bank Holiday Fourball Betterball was won by Martyn Clapp and Gary Cook with a fantastic 44 points.
Second, on countback, were Alan Vickery and Ray Rossiter, also with 44 points.

Last year, during the Great Eddie Murphy Comeback Of 2011 that lasted for approximately the length of the A Thousand Words trailer, Murphy signaled his intent to only do fresh, edgy material from now on—like a family-oriented Beverly Hills Cop TV show, because Murphy and irony lost touch sometime after Bowfinger. At the time, it seemed like one of many proposed returns to form that would inevitably be set aside in favor of a high-concept film where, say, Eddie Murphy plays a child-hating misanthrope who wakes up as a smack-talking diaper (Beyond The Pail, maybe), but Vulture reports that no, it's actually happening. What's more, it's now got the involvement of The Shield producer Shawn Ryan, who has partnered with Murphy and Sony TV to pitch their hour-long "buddy cop" procedural with "strong comedic elements" to all the major networks, with Deadline predicting that all of them will eventually bid on it.
Ryan being on board certainly adds the promise of his usual urban grit to what is otherwise a fairly goofy premise, which still reportedly concerns the son of Axel Foley looking to "escape the shadow of his legendary dad"—something he hopes to accomplish by moving from Detroit to Beverly Hills, where his dad made that legend in the first place. ("Goodbye Dad, I'm moving to Tulsa," Foley's son would say in a more logical show that would then immediately be over.) Murphy is still expected to reprise his role in the pilot and several appearances thereafter, thus taking the evolution of his R-rated persona into its more family-friendly iteration to its logical conclusion. Anyway, it seems like all but a done deal at this point. The wait for the announcement of Judge Reinhold as the new Beverly Hills Police Department captain begins now, primarily at Judge Reinhold's house.

Topic: Approved for Soc. Security disability
I retired from work on Thursday, and on Saturday was approved for SSD. I was surprised that the disability came through so quickly. I didn't even have an interview with a social worker.
The SSD money comes through in October, but in the meanwhile I will be getting money from my disability insurance through my employer.
Friday night my co-workers had a wonderful retirement party for me. I was really blessed to work with such wonderful people. It's hard to leave. But in the meantime, I'm going to work once in a while there on an on-call, as-needed basis until my replacement gets up to speed.
I'm surprised how smoothly everything has turned out. I thank God that He continues to surprise me with His provision. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Did you know?
The town of Port Alfred was established by British settlers in the 1820s.
Kelly's Beach has won various awards over the years and has Blue Flag status, which means it is recognised by international standards as a beach that offers excellent value to visitors, as well as the surrounding environment.
Factors such as safety, cleanliness, ablution facilities and lifeguard services are some of the factors considered when awarding Blue Flag status to a beach. The Blue Flag website states that Kelly's Beach is comparable to beaches in Scandanavia and is 'well worth a visit'.
Unlike the beaches in Scandanavia, however, bathers at the Port Alfred beach can enjoy warm waters throughout the year. The warm Agulhas current that flows south along the east coast of South Africa, ensures that the water temperatures at Kelly's Beach are nice and warm.
The 400m-long beach offers ample space for various beach activities. Sun-seekers can gaze out into the horizon and maybe even spot whales and dolphins frolicking in the ocean.
Surfing is a popular activity at Kelly's Beach, with beach breaks that offer both right- and left-hand waves. The wind comes mainly from the north-west, and swells in excess of 3m are fairly common.
For parents with young children, the demarcated swimming area on Kelly's Beach offers gentle conditions for you to try out with them. Boogie boards can also be hired so that children and adults can have fun in the waves together.
The soft brown sands of Kelly's Beach are ideal for building large sandcastles and keeping children amused for hours.
The south-east coastline of South Africa is characterised by its largely unspoilt sand dunes and sections of vegetation, with Kelly's Beach fitting the mould splendidly.

How to get here
The nearest airport to Port Alfred is in Port Elizabeth, 152km along the N2 and R72 roads. You can hire a car from the airport. You could also drive from Durban, although this journey would take around 11 hours.
Best time to visit
If you aren't into large crowds, avoid Port Alfred in December. The warmest months of the year are October to April, but some of the best surfing conditions can be experienced between May and September.
Around the area
There are some amazing game reserves within easy driving distance of Port Alfred, such as Shamwari Game Reserve and Sibuya Game Reserve.
Where to stay
Kelly's Self Catering Apartments, located right opposite the beach, are the ideal holiday accommodation option, especially for families.

Preschool is back in session, so the Little Farmer is expected to trace his name twelve times over the course of a week. He has a few other words to trace and maybe a picture to color to color as well.
My dad got out the disk to prepare the fields to plant wheat. The disk had a couple springs missing that should be holding on a harrow (smoothing out dirt tool).
The Little Farmer was all over helping fix it.
The springs arrived at my parent's house. The kid ripped the packing paper out of the boxes and started carrying the parts one or two at a time to the shop. I watched the first trip through the window. He knew where the springs went. He held one up for like a second and a half. It obviously didn't go on as easily as he expected, so he put that one down and picked up another identical spring and tried it. That one didn't work either.
He made a couple more trips carrying parts from the UPS box at the house to the shop. Then I gave him a try your best and don't cry talk and he got it. Pretty quickly.
He walks with an attitude when he gets confident after doing something, knowing or thinking he knows something.
After getting the job done he went back to the house to work on some homework. My dad asked him if he'd rather work on the disk or homework. Thanks dad for giving a Little Farmer unhelpful options.
Then my dad held him and helped him with his homework. I was very grateful for that!

It all starts with the census! The American Constitution mandates that every ten years our federal government must run a census. Once the census is complete, there is a massive political trickle-down effect.
The first and most obvious result of a new census is changes to congressional representation. There are 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they apportioned out to states based on percent of overall population. States that have populations which have grown in the last decade will have seats added. States that have shrunk in population will lose seats.
Arizona has been on the growth side of this equation for a number of decades. At statehood, Arizona got its first seat in the U.S. House. It added a second seat in 1940, and then gained one seat each census from 1960 through 1990, putting us at six seats. In 2000, Arizona gained two seats, and now in 2010 another one will be added to put Arizona at nine. This means Arizona will have more of a voice in the U.S. House as well as more importance in the Electoral College for Presidential races. Arizona's nine seats tie us with Indiana, Massachusetts and Tennessee and put us behind only thirteen states that have a larger number (although we are right next door to the biggest; California has 53).
So, what do we do with this extra seat? After a census we redistrict. Arizona will now have to redraw the maps that determine where our congressional districts are. The eight current districts will need to be turned into nine. This can be one of the ugliest processes in the entire American political system. And that also leads to a wonderful term called gerrymandering. Redistricting is political. It is logical that parties want to gain more support and will try to use this process to give themselves an advantage.
It is hard to explain, but easy to illustrate. Take a scenario of a state where the two major parties are almost equally divided, and they are redistricting for nine seats. (This is not Arizona's scenario as Republicans have a significant registration edge.) You might think that drawing a new map would be easy and fair.
We might have a number of competitive districts and maybe an outcome of five Republicans and four Democrats. Now let's say one party could control that process. If I were a Republican in control in this scenario, I would try to force as many Democrats as possible into two or three districts. This is a giveaway. Now you know that no Republican can win in these new "Democrat-safe" districts, but you have also created six or seven districts that will have a majority of Republicans with fewer Democrats. This is gerrymandering at its finest.
In order to stop this type of scenario, numerous laws have been passed, and the courts have even helped to try and moderate (or control, depending on your view) the process. In Arizona, with the passage of Proposition 106 in 2000, we have the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission. This is a commission of five people who will draw the lines. There will be two Republicans, two Democrats and an Independent. This commission will draw lines for both Arizona's nine congressional seats as well as the 30 new state legislative districts.
So, does this mean that everything is fixed? Hardly! In any political process where you try to legislate "fair" you run into the problem of what is "fair"? In the first few weeks of 2011 we will be hearing a lot about the selection process for the redistricting commission and the work they have to do.

April 2002 — By Capt.
Bill Pike
Fast and Fabulous
|Part 3: The Actual Varnishing Starts
Now the actual varnishing starts: one coat per day for seven or eight days in reasonable succession with light sanding with 220-grit paper between each coat. Becker suggests–and I agree–you use either a badger-hair or a slightly less expensive imitation badger-hair brush. The Europa from the Corona Brush Company is a fine example of the latter variety–a 21š2-inch version retails for about $20. As noted before, Becker also suggests Interlux Schooner Varnish because it works like a champ and is dead-simple to use. I agree. Five or six years ago I used it on the Scrumpy Vixen's large, louvered-teak door between the wheelhouse and the sleeping cabin. I applied eight coats over eight days or so, with a light sanding with 220-grit sandpaper between each coat. Since then the door has been exposed to almost daily doses of sunshine and plenty of salty sea air, and it looks just about as nice as it did when I swiped the last brushstroke.
Becker's final varnishing step seems a savvy one; I've not tried it yet but expect to give it a whirl in the future. He advises applying two or three coats of U.S. Paint's Awl-Brite Plus, a two-part urethane that shields brightwork with lots of hard-nosed UV protection, with light sanding with 220-grit paper before the first application and between subsequent ones. Becker says that before adding Awl-Brite Plus to his varnishing regimen, the staying power of his varnish work tended to max out at about four months in the South Florida sunshine, but with Awl-Brite Plus, he's routinely getting a year.
The varnishing process thus far delineated is about as short and sweet as you're likely to come across, in my opinion. There's just one aspect I haven't touched upon, however–maintenance. So, in keeping with the spirit of this piece, which is to save time and effort, here are a couple of tips on keeping a nice job looking nice. First, whenever possible, wipe down brightwork with a soft towel when it's wet. Salt crystals, if allowed to dry atop a varnished surface, actually focus destructive sunlight like a lens. Second, fix dings the easy way: Empty a nail-polish bottle, clean the thing out, and refill it with varnish. It takes a lot less effort to twist off a cap than it does to rummage through a paint locker, find a can of varnish, pry the lid off, and scare up a brush worthy of what I trust will be a fast and fabulous finish.

In the land Down Under, silver has become the new gold.
At home, Australia's two-speed economy is based around finding valuable metals such as gold. Unfortunately for Australia's Olympians, that search has hit a dud-seam in London.
For a country that has become accustomed to winning a paddling pool of Olympic swimming gold medals, the past week has prompted usually overconfident Australian sports fans (such as myself) to scratch their heads in disbelief at their athletes' absence atop the podium.
Australia, with its relatively small population of 21m, has traditionally punched well above its weight in recent Olympic Games. The current medals table of one gold and eight silvers tells another tale.
To make matters even worse, the unthinkable has just occurred: New Zealand – our traditional rival to the east – has drawn clear of Australia in the medal count, thanks to two golds in the rowing. For those of us from "the West Island", as some Kiwis describe that rather substantial land mass across the Tasman Strait, the shame is almost unbearable.
With the exception of a single gold in the women's 100 metre freestyle relay, Australia's swimmers – like the country's mining-led economy – have been decidedly two-speed: slow, or a touch slower than the winner. Read more >>

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/3/2013 (1627 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Last week, several days before March would come in like a snow leopard, my wife and I were leaving a Jets game, hiking and grumbling our way along stretches of downtown sidewalks that seemed more suited to mushing than walking, when I had a flashback.
It was last winter. We were leaving a Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra concert on Market Avenue, the street that runs the length of the Centennial Concert Hall, and there was an even more treacherous snow- and ice-rutted sidewalk.
Safe, accessible streets and sidewalks are the city's stated No.1 goal of its snow-clearing and ice-control policy. And the No. 1 priority is downtown, where sidewalks, like streets, are "generally" supposed to be "plowed to a paved surface whenever conditions allow," and whenever the snowfall amounts reach five centimetres.
For downtown streets and sidewalks, the city gives itself a 36-hour completion window on "average storms," but these mogul-like paths looked as if pedestrians had packed them down for a lot longer than a day and a half.
I wondered last winter, as I did last week, how well-trodden downtown sidewalks could be left in such treacherous states? Properly plowed sidewalks might not inconvenience young Jets fans but, for the much older symphony-going crowd, a slip and fall can be life-changing.
I was angry a year ago at the city's apparent lack of concern for pedestrians, and I was angry again last week.
It's sad enough when citizens are afraid to go downtown in summer because of the spectre of street crime. It's sad in a different way when the city can easily do something to make people feel safe walking downtown in winter, and they don't seem to care.
And pedestrians do fall on downtown sidewalks.
By chance Tuesday afternoon, I witnessed a middle-aged woman fall to her knees on Graham Avenue, across from the Millennium Library. Granted, it had snowed heavily Monday. On Wednesday morning, as more flakes fell, I took a tour of the downtown. By then, it appeared some of the sidewalks had been skimmed of slushy snow, but not plowed to pavement. The only bare sidewalks I saw were in front of commercial properties like the Bay department store and Earls on Main.
City hall's sidewalks and plaza area were a thin mix of old snow and the sandy salt they throw at it. Chinatown's sidewalks were narrow footpaths feet had made, but nearby Siloam Mission had ensured the sidewalk in front of their soup kitchen was scraped bare, even if the city still hadn't got around to clearing others in the general vicinity of the homeless and hungry who trod the area.
I returned to the Millennium Library across from where the woman had fallen the day before, and there, on the spot where she dropped -- where the sidewalk meets the street -- I saw something that suggested why. There was a small boulder of street-plowed snow and ice and a narrow, slushy foot path where pavement should be showing. But I'm not the only one who is questioning the competence and diligence of the city when it comes to sidewalk snow removal in the less-than-pulsing heart of the city. A newsroom colleague chimed in with an email. She and her husband had attended the Warehouse Theatre Saturday night and encountered a patch of nearby sidewalk that shocked her.
"Treacherous is no understatement," she wrote. "I am pretty hale and can navigate mounds and drifts, but this was a high-altitude goat path. Absurd. Embarrassing. There was no way anyone with even a minor disability could have navigated that piece of sidewalk between MTC and the Warehouse. You'd have to walk on the roads, which were treacherous, too."
So why isn't Winnipeg doing a better job?
I emailed the city and asked why the downtown sidewalks haven't been plowed to pavement, as the policy states. The city said it didn't have a spokesman available, but an emailed response was provided. Basically it amounted to restating the policy, about plowing downtown sidewalks to a paved surface, while bold-facing the convenient out, "whenever conditions allow."
"However," the statement acknowledged, "minor snowfalls and/or warming trends between plowing operations may result in a layer of compacted snow or ice on the sidewalk surface."
In other words, when it doesn't snow the policy-required five centimetres to send the plows up, the other flakes that fall in between cleanups can cause the kind of conditions my wife and I witnessed over the last two years. So why don't they just plow the sidewalks between significant snow events to keep them clear? Maybe it's the cost of adhering diligently to the policy's intent. But I think what it's really about is a lack of pride, a lack of believing in ourselves.
As the Broken Windows Theory on crime has demonstrated, keeping a tidy neighbourhood offers both the perception and the reality of a safer place to live, and that goes for plowing sidewalks as much as it does fixing broken windows. The city talks a good game plan when it comes to revitalizing and reinvigorating the downtown as a place to do business, to live and be entertained. But when it comes to something as basic and simple as plowing the slippery winter walk, the City of Winnipeg performs the way one would expect.
It falls flat on its face.
Let's get this clear
Sidewalks on Priority I* and II** streets within the downtown shall generally be plowed to a paved surface whenever conditions allow. However, minor snowfalls and/or warming temperatures between plowing operations may result in a layer of compacted snow or ice on the sidewalk surface. A plowing operation shall be initiated when the snow has accumulated beyond a depth of five cm. The snow-plowing operations shall be completed within thirty-six hours following the end of an average storm.
*Priority I streets include all regional streets, and some streets around the Health Sciences Centre.
**Priority II streets include non-regional bus routes and collector streets.

"My Chinese parents swear by congee. Just cook rice with lots of liquid, it can be water (bland, very bland) or (chicken broth) and cook it until the rice breaks down. You can dress it up with pieces of chicken meat, scallions, sesame oil, white pepper, egg poached in the congee, etc. It depends on what your stomach can handle. It's very easy to digest because the rice has been cooked to death."—ag3208

A 28-YEAR-OLD man who took his girlfriend's car without permission and crashed on a drunken drive – badly injuring his best friend – has been jailed for 14 months.
Christopher Knowles, of Freeman Close, Twyning, near Upton, had driven into Worcester on Saturday, May 4, last year to pick up Daniel Clark but was in a crash in Ronkswood Road with a delivery van.
Prosecutor Paul Whitfield said 26-year-old Mr Clark was in the passenger seat and took the brunt of the impact. He is still being treated for serious injuries which have left him partly paralysed.
Knowles pleaded guilty at Worcester Crown Court to aggravated vehicle taking, driving with excess alcohol and without insurance and a licence. He was also disqualified for 12 months.
Mr Whitfield said Knowles had been staying with his girlfriend in Twyning but when she went to bed at 10.45pm he took the keys to her car and decided to drive to Worcester to see his friend Mr Clark.
The collision occurred after the driver of the delivery van estimated the car was being driven at 70mph.
The loss of control had resulted in catastrophic injuries to Mr Clark, who finished up in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, for operations on his brain.
He also suffered from rib and lung injuries and contraction of his joints.
Months after the accident, Mr Clark was still in a poorly state, said Mr Whitfield.
He could not speak and his upper limbs were in a contracted position.
The left side of his body was affected and his injuries had left him with depression.
Knowles, who had a conviction in 2005 for assault causing actual bodily harm, had also spent eight weeks in hospital for comparatively minor injuries.
He was breath-tested after the crash and his reading was 42 microgrammes in 100ml compared with the legal limit of 35.
The last thing he could remember was stopping at a filling station for Mr Clark to buy cigarettes.
Mr Whitfield said that a vehicle examiner had noticed a corroded brake pipe on the Peugeot car but could not say whether it contributed to the accident.
In mitigation, Adam Western said the injuries were never intended or wanted by Knowles, who said he deserved to go to prison.
He had admitted his guilt at an early stage and had tried to make right his wrong-doing by offering to make compensation out of his benefits.
"He will have to live for the rest of his life with the knowledge of what he did to Daniel Clark," said Mr Western.
Relatives of both families were in the public gallery to hear Judge Michael Cullum say that Knowles should not have been in the car.
While it could not be said that the driving was dangerous, Knowles had accepted the responsibility of causing life-ruining injuries to Mr Clark and shown remorse.

"I absolutely love the invitation I created on Wedding Paper Divas. I was able to edit the back to include our itinerary, giving me the chance to say everything I wanted it to include. The paper quality is exquisite, I am very pleased."
"This card was so cute when I got it in the mail! I love how you could customize it to fit your needs perrectly! The paper was so sturdy and the colors turned out exactly like the picture!"
"As a fan of Victoria's Secret, this design was absolutely perfect! It fit with the bridal shower and bachelorette party! Paper is good quality (thick and not flimsy). Color is on point and the shades of pink are the same as on the sample."
"I ordered these bachelorette party cards without an issue. They looked absolutely fabulous (Lush Party in Azalea) and they had a gorgeous pink shimmery sheen. I ordered them with the black envelopes and they looked incredibly classy."
"This card is exactly what I wanted for my sister's bachelorette. I wanted something simple yet fun and cute. The paper is a lot thicker than I thought it would be and the entire card lived up further than my expectations were. Very nice and will be using this company again."

"I ordered these place cards, and used them as gift tags. Wedding Paper Divas were totally helpful in a) making sure I didn't order the wrong thing (I had submitted an order for the square gift tags not realizing they were stickers), and b) they modified this place card for me by removing the "Table ____" text, and adding the sentence I needed in order to use these place cards as gift tags. The asian inspired double happiness symbol was perfect for a gift tag for an asian wedding reception. (I folded in half, punched a hole, and tied a ribbon through the hole to affix it to the gifts.) Wedding Paper Divas did a great job on this (and my invitations too). Multiple people contacted me to make sure everything was ok, they made the rush order I needed in time. Couldn't be happier."

I know I said it would be 5 or 6 days before I would be able to get time on the Egg again. One of the advantages of being my own boss is I can make my own hours. So I promised myself I'd start work a couple hours early today if I knocked off early to cook something up outside. There must have been chicken vibes in the air because like several others, I did chicken too.
The chicken recipe was called Barbecue Chicken Breasts with Soy-Lemon Marinade and it was from Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book. It was supposed to be a quick cook. The boneless skinless chicken breasts received a 30-45 minute marinade. While they were in the fridge, I ran out and fired up the Egg and set it up for indirect grilling. Everything went well, with one exception. The recipe said the breasts would take 8 minutes a side at 400 degrees. This seemed crazy to me! When I do chicken breasts in the oven they take nearly an hour at 350 degrees. I just knew 50 degrees more wouldn't make that much of a difference. So I armed myself with the fastest instant read thermometer I owned and headed out to the grill. The 16 minutes went by and I hadn't even hit 100 degress. Now this was not a surprise, and not the end of the world....but it makes it hard to time your sides. It turned out the total cooking time was 48 minutes and the breasts ranged from 160 to 162. If anyone is using this cookbook be careful with the cooking times: This is the second major discrepancy between recipe and reality I've found. The first was their signature recipe Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Que Chicken. The book said 3 hours for the spatchcocked whole chicken. I've never had a whole chicken take more than 1:45, so I knew this was crazy too. The two times I've made it it took 1:30. OK onto the pictures:
The chicken breasts received a 45 minute marinade using: Soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, paprika & black pepper.
The finished marinade.
The chicken and marinade are in a zip-lock bag and are off to the fridge for 45 minutes.
This meal answered the chicken and egg question: The egg came first!. I had to set the Egg up for indirect grilling and preheat it first. I have the Platesetter on legs up, with a drip pan inside, and the s/s grill grate on top of the legs. The Chicken is on the Egg which is running at 400 degrees and there is a hickory chunk giving some smoke.
The chicken is being served with some chicken flavored rice.
Despite the far longer than planned cook, the chicken was still moist, I'm sure the marianade helped but I'd bet the good seal of the Egg contributed to the moistness as well.
My wife absolutely l-o-v-e-d this chicken, so it was a worthwhile cook. Me not so much. I wasn't real crazy about the flavor from the marinade. The chicken was moist and tender despite the 45 minute vs the 16 minute grill time.
The chicken even had a faint pink smoke ring.
A quick digression:
A couple who I regularly cook for gave me two Egg-warming presents on Monday: The first was a BGE hat and the second (shown below) is the BGE Dutch oven. Now I don't have to worry about whether my LeCruset Dutch oven will fit under the dome of the Egg. I have some leftover brisket and now leftover smoked chicken, plus a Dutch oven. I see Brunswick stew coming real soon.

As of July 1, 2016, attorneys are required to e-file in any existing appellate case.
As the second-highest court in Indiana, the Court of Appeals hears appeals from the state's trial courts and some state agencies. The Court does not preside over trials and must accept all appeals sent to it, with the exception of:
As a result, the 15 members of the Court issue approximately 2,000 written opinions each year. A decision of the Court of Appeals of Indiana is final unless granted further review by the Indiana Supreme Court.
The Court hears cases only in three-judge panels. All panels have statewide jurisdiction and rotate three times per year. Cases are randomly assigned. In addition, there is no deadline for the Court to reach a decision in each case; however, the Court strives to issue decisions within four months of receiving an appeal. Opinions are often issued earlier.
All opinions are available on the Court's website. Some opinions are "for publication" and can be cited as precedent for subsequent cases; other are marked "NFP" or "not for publication," and may not be used in citing precedent.

Medical Marijuana
One of the most egregious outcomes of marijuana prohibition is that many sick people cannot legally access the medicine that works best for them. The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is committed to legalizing marijuana at the state and federal levels and improving medical marijuana programs to better protect patients' rights and access to medicine.
Current Medical Marijuana Laws in the U.S.
2016 Initiative Results
Election Day was a watershed moment for the movement to end marijuana prohibition — no other reform was approved by so many citizens on so many ballots this year. Legalization initiatives prevailed in four out of five states, and medical marijuana initiatives prevailed in all four states.
But the prospect of Donald Trump as our next president is profoundly troubling. While Trump has repeatedly pledged to respect state marijuana laws, his rhetoric on broader criminal justice issues has been largely unfriendly.
Read more about the impact of the 2016 election on our blog.
Take Action
The CARERS Act is the first-ever bill in the U.S. Senate to let states legalize marijuana for medical use. Tell your Senators to legalize medical marijuana nationwide!
Why Should We Legalize?
Provide effective medicine
For many seriously ill people, medical marijuana is the only medicine that relieves their pain and suffering, or treats symptoms of their medical condition, without debilitating side effects.
Marijuana has been shown to alleviate symptoms of a huge variety of serious medical conditions including cancer, AIDS, and glaucoma, and is often an effective alternative to synthetic painkillers.
Advance research
Marijuana prohibition has thwarted research within the United States to uncover the best and most effective uses for marijuana as a medicine. Legalization would allow research into marijuana's medical benefits to move forward.

Topic: Dumb Questions For Ladies Only
Hello Everyone:
Have a couple of no doubt completely ridiculous questions for women out there who have gone through liver resection:
1. Intimate gear: during that "been run over by a truck" long recovery phase, what did y'all do to maximize comfort? GIant t-shirts? Loose shorts or pants? Did you temporarily wear very large shirts, underwear and bra in order to keep any contact from incision site? Or does a bra that fits actually aid in trying to keep things "in place" and most comfortable?
2. For those of you diagnosed at a young enough age to still be dealing with that "monthly friend," what happens if this strikes whilst you are about to undergo surgery or right after surgery? Is there something they can do to try and ensure that this monthly visitation can be held off for a few days?
Please forgive the very personal nature of these questions -- and count on me to just jump right in there.
Strength to all.

Steel maker and iron ore miner Arrium has named the head of its mining materials business as the successor to current chief executive Geoff Plummer.
Andrew Roberts will join the company's board immediately, and is expected to take over as chief executive in the first quarter of the 2013-14 financial year, Arrium said today.
Mr Plummer had agreed to remain in his role until December 31, 2013.
''Andrew Roberts has been a key figure in the development and implementation of the transformation strategy at Arrium over recent years and I believe he is very well equipped to take the company ahead,'' Arrium chairman Peter Smedley said in a statement.
The company's shares were up 8 cents, or 6.8 per cent, at $1.26 in early afternoon trade.
