Lavonne Santos was born Feb. 19, 1933, in South Haven, Minn., to Nathan and Grace Oulman. She passed away Feb. 24, 2014, after a short battle with cancer.
Lavonne graduated from Riceville, Iowa, high school in 1950 and went to work for Bankers Life in Des Moines, Iowa. She followed her dream and moved to California and went to work for Bank of America. She married Chuck Brodt and helped manage Western Marine, the family's boat business for 15 years. They had two children, Brenda and Brian. Lavonne later married Joseph Santos and moved to Greenville, where they bought the ranch where she lived for the last 45 years. There she worked for First Western and Lloyds Bank from 1969-1987 where she worked her way up to manager. Her last job before she retired was with the Crescent Mills Animal Clinic which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Lavonne was very involved in her community. She served on the Greenville Hospital Board and was the chairman of Ducks Unlimited for many years. After Joe passed away she enjoyed her ranch with her two dogs and the beautiful wildlife that surrounded her.
She is survived by her son Brian Brodt and wife Merritt, of Ferndale; their three children Colton, Chase and Callie; her two grandsons Nickolaus Wangsgard and Adam Wangsgard, of Greenville; and by her sister in-law Audrey Oulman of Riceville, Iowa, and many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her daughter Brenda Bradford, her husband Joseph Santos, her brother Ronald Oulman, her parents Nathan and Grace Oulman and her niece Lavonne Vouske.
A memorial will be held Saturday, March 22, 2014, 11 a.m., at the Methodist Church in Greenville, with reception following.
Pamela Kay Hooper passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 25, 2014, surrounded by her children and other family members following a four-month battle with cancer.
The love expressed by her children, Bryan, Riley (wife Summer), Neal, Crystal (husband Jordan) and Eric, in the days leading up to her death was an inspiration to everyone who witnessed it. Pam's niece, Kelsha, was also a great comfort to her aunt in helping her through this difficult time.
Pam joins her parents in heaven, Clayton and Joyce Kreth, but temporarily leaves behind her children, cousins, friends, caring ex-husband Allen (wife Kathleen), and two brothers, Steve Kreth (wife Lucie) and John Kreth, a sister, Glenda Herbert (husband Paul), nephews and nieces, LaRell, Kelsha, Emilie, Amie, Steve, Scott, James, Tim, Laurie, Willie, Carrie, Katie, Ronnie, and numerous great-nieces and great-nephews.
Pam was born in Portola, on Nov. 17, 1957. The very talented Pam pursued many interests including sewing, jewelry making, aviation, auto mechanics, motorcycle riding, playing the guitar and piano, singing, horseback riding, hiking, crocheting, gardening, making chainmail and stoneware mugs; she even graduated at the top of her class from Heald Business College. But undoubtedly, Pam's proudest accomplishment of all is her five children.
Pam is an endowed member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is very proud that her four boys all served missions for the church, and that all five of her children are also temple endowed. When she died her family found in her wallet a picture of her children and a quote written by her: "If you can teach your children how to feel loved, you have taught them everything." Pam might not have been rich in the way of worldly possessions, but she brought the only thing she could with her when she left; the love of her family.
Pam's first grand-baby, Kensey Kay Hooper, will be born in April and will share her grandma's name. Pam's dying wish was for everyone to love one another. She was a great listener and friend and will be missed by everyone who knows her.
Arrangements entrusted to Manni Funeral Home, Portola.

Chester resident Edwin Ross Timmins passed from this life peacefully, Wednesday afternoon, March 5, 2014, under the compassionate care of the staff at Countryvilla Riverview located in Susanville.
Born August 30, 1930 to the late Bryan and Nina (Bonham) Timmins in Arlington, Texas, Ed was raised and educated in Arlington where he graduated from high school.
Following his high school graduation Ed enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps where he was wounded in action and decorated for his valor while serving his country in Korea.
Upon his honorable discharge, Ed moved to Susanville, where he enrolled in Lassen Community College. It is here he met a pretty young coed named Georgie Wharton; the couple was later united in holy matrimony at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Westwood. To this blessed union two daughters and a son were born.
The newly weds settled in Chester and Ed began what became a 35-year career with the Collins Family working at their Chester Mill. He retired in 1985.
Ed enjoyed spending time in the outdoors where he loved to fish and go woodcutting. He is a former member of the Lumber and Industrial Workers Union Local 3074.
In passing, Ed leaves his daughters, Terri Fanning and her husband Donald, of Sidney, Mont., and Patricia Bustamante and her husband Frank, of Westwood, a son Albert "Chuck" Timmins, of Chester, along with seven grand- and nine great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in his passing by his loving wife Georgie in November of 1998.
A celebration of Ed's life will take place Wednesday, March 12, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located in Clear Creek. Interment with military honors will take place alongside his wife in the Chester Cemetery.

While we all have memories of Christmas past, one thing that sticks with me was the fact that every single Christmas, my father brought home poinsettias for my mother and grandmothers. As long as that man was alive and on this earth, that was a guarantee. His mother passed, yet he still continued to deliver the beautiful Christmas flowers to his wife and mother-in-law. Even after my mother developed Alzheimer's in 2006, was bedridden, unable to communicate and unaware of her surroundings, the poinsettias still came each Christmas. My father, Larry Wilt, died suddenly this past April and I have moved my mother in with me to care for her with the help of my family.
Today, we received a great surprise. The staff from Melvin T. Strider funeral home, where my father's service was, delivered a Christmas poinsettia to my house for my mother. Such a simple gesture as that makes a real difference for those of us dealing with the tragic loss of my father. Just by their staff caring and showing it in such a way has made this Christmas just a little easier to deal with.
A heartfelt "thank you" to J.B, Jeremiah and staff. Words cannot express how much your caring ways have helped my family, and for keeping the tradition of the Christmas flower going. It restores one's faith in mankind having people like this around.

TELLURIDE – The new appointee to San Miguel Power Association's District Two board seat vacancy brings a mixture of compassion, enthusiasm and industry smarts to the table, along with a healthy dose of realism about the challenges of getting a very diverse board to pull in the same direction.
Robert Justis of Telluride was selected Monday by SMPA's Board of Directors from among five candidates who expressed interest in filling the District Two seat, left vacant after long-time director Wes Perrin lost his battle with cancer in March.
Justis will represent the Telluride region until 2015, when Perrin's four-year term would have expired. At that time he can run for re-election.
Other candidates who applied for the position included Telluride residents Brian Ahern, Joseph Cooley, David Oyster and Lance Waring.
"All the candidates were very well qualified," said SMPA Board President Rube Felicelli, who himself will continue to represent SMPA's District 5 (comprised of Mountain Village, Ophir and surrounding areas) after running unopposed for a second term. "This was a tough choice. We could have gone a couple different directions."
In the end, though, several things made Justis stand out as the best man for the job. Most importantly, Felicelli said, Justis has a strong background in the electric business. Prior to moving to Telluride in 2006, he worked as the director of economic development for an electric utility in Vermont.
"He impressed us with his detailed knowledge of the industry and the territory," Felicelli said. "He reached out to some people in the area, and that was important. He has the time and the energy to do this. And he showed a lot of compassion. That really tilted the board in his direction. We are looking forward to working with him."
Justis expressed a similar eagerness to start working with his fellow board members. He got to know many of them prior to his appointment as he made an effort to learn more about the issues SMPA and its Board of Directors are facing.
"I'm just delighted to have this opportunity and humbled that I got the job after so many other good people expressed an interest in it," he said. "I am really looking forward to it. It's a little early to talk specifics but I really want to try to bring my cooperative attitude toward working together with the diverse board."
Justis retired from his job in Vermont and moved to Telluride six years ago. "I've been looking for something to get my teeth into," he said. "There are a lot of boards and commissions and volunteer opportunities in Telluride, but I didn't feel I had anything specific to bring to the table."
When he found out about the SMPA board vacancy, he realized he had found his niche. "I have the background for it and felt I could really be useful here," he said. "That's why I stepped up."
Justis anticipates that it will be a challenge "getting everyone pulling in the same direction" on SMPA's board. "We represent an extremely diverse community, between the east end and the west end of SMPA's territory," he said. "There has been a lot of concern over rate increases in recent years and I'm very sensitive to that. I'm also sensitive to the diverse feelings about renewable energy."
A lot of what the SMPA board will be tackling in the near future rides on Gov. Hickenlooper's decision whether to sign into law or veto the Rural Renewable Energy Bill which passed the Colorado Senate on May 1.
The bill, SB-252, doubles the amount of power smaller electric co-ops in Colorado will be required to get from renewable sources over the next seven years, increasing it to 20 percent by 2020. The bill contains a fee cap limitation, keeping the cost of implementation that utilities can pass on to rate payers to 2 percent, but critics charge that it could still lead to huge rate increases for the member-owners of SMPA and other rural power co-ops. Advocates, meanwhile, praise it as a means of moving forward into developing renewable energy technologies and away from older, polluting forms of energy.
According to Felicelli, the SMPA board has taken a neutral position on SB-252. However, the Town of Telluride, which represents the largest population center in SMPA's territory, recently sent a letter to Hickenlooper urging him to sign the bill into law.
The governor has until June 7 to either sign the bill, veto it or do nothing, in which case it will become law.
Felicelli anticipates the bill will quietly pass into law without Hickenlooper's signature.
SMPA's board of directors will also soon have a new director from District 7 representing Ouray and Silverton. Incumbent Jerry Hoffer of Silverton is not seeking reelection. Two candidates are vying for his seat: Keith Meinert of Ouray and Terry Rhoades of Silverton. Ballots were mailed out to member-owners in those two communities on Monday this week, and are due back by June 12.

e107 CMS Moves Forward And Tightens Up With Version 1.0.1
Friday 30 March 2012 - 14:01:51, in
, posted by
e107 Inc
LAS VEGAS, Mar. 30th - e107 Inc. releases v1.0.1 revisions and updates for the free, open source website content management system e107.
Following the tremendous reception to the introduction of re-branded e107 v1.0, active website managers have influenced the development team to create revisions and updates in the form of v1.0.1 that are available right now as an Update for current users, an Upgrade for sites still using previous versions, or a Full Package to download e107 for brand new website installations.
Revisions found in
reflect the removal of obsolete scripts and functions from the system that more completes a forward separation from the previous v0.7 generation while fixes that were applied involved better handling of content from external sources, "textual" corrections, and configuration issues following upgrades. Technical updates for e107 ensure validation compliance, boost performance and include improvements of the multilingual translations integration and additional back-end/front-end support for more input types such as right-to-left languages which all compliment recent additions to the number of languages available. An upgrade of the optional WYSIWYG editor, TinyMCE, allows non-technical users more flexibility and design creativity with the page and menu creation functions of e107's content editors. Less noticeable tweaks were done on built in features such as "Downloads" and cookie functions that augments user interaction analysis. Other minor revisions enhance v1.0 themed administrative interfaces making each function more seamless and independent visually.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 28th - e107 Inc. announces re-branding and the release of v1.0 of its website content management system.
For the past 9 years the open-source CMS e107 has been mostly a hobby project of a few dedicated PHP developers. Despite its lack of funding or marketing over that time, e107 has continued to be a favorite CMS for the 150,000+ people and companies who use it. e107's strength lies in it's simple, intuitive interface and flexible architecture which allows the system to perform well on anything from blogs and personal websites to business sites and intranets.
"For many years e107 lacked some of the 'eye-candy' of other content management systems such as Wordpress or Joomla."
, says Cameron Hanly, CEO of e107 Inc.
"It was like a powerful engine in the body of an old-looking car and we believe some may have overlooked the potential of our CMS as a result."
Today e107 Inc. hopes to change that with its new website design, new branding and a
new release
of it's software - v1.0.

Not very impressive service, almost rude. Very noisy atmosphere. There are many places to go that will serve and treat you better. Will not recommend to any one.
So far... so good! – We are just over the moon with happiness so far with selecting the Mill for our september wedding. From the first phone call Amanda was prompt to respond, flexible with menu/times/guest counts, and has given us a calm and focused feeling that we did not previously have with the other venue that made us wait almost 3 months to even send a proposal. We hope that our experience post wedding is just as good, but we have faith that this is going to be easy, fun, and amazing to plan :) Thanks Amanda!!!
Careless, Wedding Mill – Calling it a "mill" is apt; it is a wedding mill. As the wedding coordinator told me, they do weddings here every weekend. The result: you are not special to them and they will not work hard or be flexible at all. There are 10 other people behind you in line who will put up with their baloney and rudeness.
They do not allow tastings. I was concerned because I would not have any idea what my wedding cake would taste like. Her response: Well, that's how it is here.
I wanted to use the cocktail party package that is posted on their website. Her response: anything remotely wedding-related MUST use the wedding packages on their website. Note that the cocktail party webpage does NOT specify that it may not be used for weddings.
Conclusion: They are not flexible and do not really care about making your day special.
The best food you'll ever eat! – I've been eating here about once a year for the last 5 years or so. Then when I was getting married, there was only one place to look. The Mill was amazing. The best venue, well priced receptions. The best part was that the cake was included. They have their own pastry chef that makes them. It was sooo good. Compliments from all of our guests. The fish, the chicken, then prime rib, sooo good. I love good food, and this place continues to surprise me with how good it is. Don't go anywhere else for dinner. This will be our permanent anniversary dinner establishment. Thanks to you, Mill on the River and their wedding coordinator Laura Coviello, for making our dreams come true!
Food: 5 Stars, amazing
Ambiance: 5 Stars, amazing
Service: 5 Stars, AMAZING!!!
Delicious Food and Wonderful Atmosphere – I happened apon The Mill on the River this Sunday after seeing a show in Hartford. This was my first time here and what a beautiful restaurant this is. From the covered bridge over looking the waterfall to the grand lobby and NY City style dining room, this place is top notch.
My boyfriend and I went to the bar to have a drink before dinner. The bar has a great view overlooking the water. We had frozen grape martini's which were a real treat!
After cocktials the hostess brought us to a seat by the window where we could see the waterfall. Our waitress Joan was exceptional! She was very warm and knowledgeable, she was attentive with out rushing us. Joan steared us toward their signature dish Redfish Nouvelle. It was delicious and she even recommened a great wine to pair with dinner.
We don't normally have dessert but Joan talked us into sharing a creme brulee and we decided to have cappucinos.
I'm so glad we drove past The Mill on the River, we will be back again very soon!
Food fine, wait staff surreal – Sat in the bar area for dinner Sunday evening and started with a bottle of wine. After our waitress (not friendly, very condensendingly phony) gives us the bottle, she told us to hurry up because the kitchen was closing in 20 minutes.. We placed our order and got our food, and asked for some sour cream for the quesadeas...and was told the kitchen was locked shut. Im glad the company I was with was awesome to make up for the service shortcommings.
Waitress never came buy to see how our meal was.
After reading some of the other review I have a feeling the managers / owners have the same attitude as this waitress.
mill on the river wedding – I recently had my wedding at the Mill on the River, I can not tell you what a wonderful experience it was. From the time I booked over a year ago our wedding coordinator Laura was absolutely wonderful. She made our wedding absolutely perfect. She attended to our every needs, going above what we expected from her.
We can recommend the Mill on the River to anyone who want's to have there wedding there. Five Stars to the Mll on the River!!!!!! Ask for the best, Ask for Laura!
A Happy Bride & Groom
Brides BEWARE!!! – I recently attended a wedding at the Mill and I couldn't believe how RUDE the managers were! The wedding cake started falling over and I complained to a waitstaff because I couldn't find a manager. Then a manager finds me and asks where the bride and groom are and complains that they are out taking pictures! I asked her about the cake and she rolled her eyes at me and walked away!
The event managers are so unprofessional! There was a wedding right before the one I attended and they left the table clothes on from the previous wedding! They just put napkins on top. I looked under the napkins- EWWW!!! We also told them that we would be providing our own chair covers and decorations and when we got there we found that not only had they let guests in before we got there, but they left the previous weddings decorations up! This was after they tried to charge the bride and extra $3.50 per chair cover, so we bought our own for cheaper!
The food was alright. Definitely not 4 star quality though. Their salads were wilted. The wedding cake they made was made from store bought boxed cake mixes and frosting. Disgusting. I was thoroughly disappointed. Not only was the cake unappetizing but it was UGLY.
The bartender was fabulous though. So I guess that was a saving grace. Though they don't serve frozen drinks like strawberry daiquiris.
Waitstaff Could Use a Makeover – My family and I have celebrated Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, and just recently, my sister's 27th birthday at the Mill on the River, coming for brunch each time. Of the three visits, I've had one decent experience with the waitstaff. The other two visits were less than satisfactory and a bit uncomfortable to say the least. My first bad experience was with a waiter who immediately said there would be no substitutes, that what was on the menu was all you could order...no exceptions. I found this a bit frustrating since I follow a strict bodybuilding diet, as does my boyfriend. After working up the nerve to see if we could make some changes, the waiter agreed and reluctantly took our orders, leaving us feeling burdensome. My most recent experience was with a waitress who was taking our drink orders. After ratting off a list to me, I told her no thanks, that I was on a diet. She replied, "So just the water? Is that on your diet?" She walked off and looked back with an uncomfortable stare. At that point I wanted to go home. In the future I will ask my mom to go elsewhere for our celebrations.
ODIOUS WAITSTAFF/MANAGER...used to be GREAT!~ – I've been a regular customer at the Mill on the River for about 20 years.
I ordered the special which I looked forward to eating, but because I filled up on Appetizers/Salad I was too full for my expensive ($23.00) special entree.
When I arrived home I noticed my take out bag was very light, to my surprise; majority of my meal was gone (i.e. Lobster and Salmon)
When I called the waitress was indifferent (although she callously admitted to the error) and the manager was UN-APOLOGETIC.

What to Watch in Your Portfolio
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
Portfolio monitoring is often misperceived as simply watching price changes. Though wealth is created by the combination of rising prices and dividend (or interest) payments, being concerned only with performance can be detrimental to your wealth.
The goal of portfolio monitoring is to determine whether something positive or adverse has occurred to your investments. Specifically, you need to look out for news or developments that could alter the long-term attractiveness of your stocks, bonds and funds. Companies, industries and funds evolve over time, and so will your portfolio.
Here are suggestions on what to pay attention to.

Good article.
Another aspect that has to do with a fund's size is it's cash position. If a fund's cash position dwindles below the norm then this could be a sign of a lot of recent redemptions, which could easily signal the necessity for more research. Such as in an "un-named" Fairholme fund recently.

Twenty years ago, Carol's Daughter founder Lisa Price made an initial investment of one hundred dollars to sell her homemade creams at a church flea market. Today, that business is a cosmetics company with 34 million dollars in annual sales.
For Lisa, her first career, as a writer's assistant on The Cosby Show, paved the way for her future as an entrepreneur. She says she loved her job and the creativity it demanded, and she learned what it was like to do something that you love. She says being happy at her job inspired her to be creative when she was home, and she started experimenting in her kitchen, making fragrances and creams that she'd give as gifts to her friends. In 1993, her mother suggested she sell those homemade gifts at a church flea market. Lisa says she had no idea at the time that she was starting a business.
Lisa continued to sell her products on the side, but still held down a day job in television production. It wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child, and realized that she wanted to have time with her child, that she made the decision to take on Carol's Daughter full time. She's been her own boss ever since.
Over the next few years, the brand developed a loyal following that included celebrities -- including Halle Berry, who bought Oprah Winfrey a gift basket. By 2002, Lisa was appearing as a guest on Oprah's talk show. That appearance catapulted the brand into national attention. The Carol's Daughter website crashed as Oprah fans logged on to buy products and sales went through the roof.
Since then, Lisa has taken on a business partner, brought on investors and expanded the brand. She says she's glad she took the chance on Carol's Daughter. It was a risk that paid off.
"I feel like if you do something that's really hard, that you're afraid of, one of two things is going happen," she says. "You're going to bomb and then you'll recover. Or you're going to do it well and everything will be okay. But if you don't do it, forever and ever amen, you're going be like well, what if I had? Well, what if I had? And that's worse."

ADA News
Business, management training
Participant learned to 'relax, recharge and restore creativity'
Most were successful, too. In 2003, Dr. Lim began building his practice from scratch. He now has four associates and a staff of nine.
Dr. Lim's experience with the ADA Kellogg Executive Management Program has illustrated why his business approach was successful. But the classes have also bolstered his ability to determine what might bring him more success in the future.
The classes have helped him identify areas for change, he adds, such as his approach to staff meetings and communications.
"We used to have fewer, longer staff meetings and required everyone to be there," he said. "Through the ADAKEMP classes, I learned more about my personal decision-making process and communication style. I decided that I needed a simpler, more basic approach. One result is that we now have shorter, more frequent staff meetings."
Adds Dr. Lim: "I meet separately with office and auxiliary staff and encourage them to share information. I ask for more feedback, look to identify problems and discuss solutions. But rather than getting a prescription from a practice management consultant on what to do, I have developed my own plan."
The coursework increased his confidence when it comes to collaborating with other professionals, too, and provided ideas that were immediately applicable to dental practice. For example, Dr. Lim enjoyed finance coursework that covered budgeting and time value of money; those same courses can be valuable to dentists working with bankers, accountants and other financial managers.
The Kellogg setting gave Dr. Lim and his classmates an opportunity to "relax, recharge and restore creativity," he said. Sharing ideas and experiences with the other class members energized him, due to the class' diversity in age, dental specialty and practice settings.
In all, the program provided Dr. Lim with valuable intangibles. This includes developing a more positive perception of the essence of a good businessperson, which to him is an individual "who takes the long-term view and has a high level of integrity."
The ADA Kellogg Executive Management Program, which was launched in 2005, is not a practice management course. The program draws from the core content areas for Kellogg MBA students including business strategy, organizational leadership, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, quantitative methods and information systems. All classes are taught by Kellogg professors. Kellogg's executive management MBA program was recently ranked No. 1 in a nationwide survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal.

I don't dislike Bisping, as many seem to do, but I'd rather watch cheese age that see the Count go three more unispiring rounds.
And then there's the Cheik Congo sighting...
Oh well. At least it's free, and I suppose it makes a decent warm-up for Lesnar-Velasquez.

Book 3 - Notorious Nephilim
MFM erotic historical fantasy romance
Heat Level SEXTREME
Word Count 52,239
Caleigh Kensington runs through men like water. But when she seduces two owners of the exclusive resort where she's just been hired as a nightclub singer, she does the unthinkable by falling in love…with both of them. Can she overcome their secret and finally commit to a lasting relationship?
Hugh Fallon and Sterling Neville have never met anyone like Caleigh. Fun, talented, and sexy, they willingly give their bodies and their hearts to her. But what will happen when she discovers they're Nephilim, and the only way for them to gain a chance at redemption is for Caleigh to choose them?
When Caleigh leaves the resort, convinced she's only going to hurt Hugh and Sterling the way she's hurt so many other men, Hugh and Sterling set off to find her. Can they convince her to stay with them and finally take a chance on love, or will they lose her forever?
Lust rolled off him in waves. Caleigh found it difficult to take a full breath or form a coherent thought. How could a man seduce her without touching her or saying anything? She should tell him she'd changed her mind, but somehow she knew it wouldn't matter. He'd talk her into coming to his suite with him, regardless of what she did or said right now. There was no turning back. Caleigh wasn't entirely sure she wanted to turn back, and the indecision confused her. It wasn't something she was used to.
"Here we are." She hadn't even realized the elevator car had stopped. He opened the gate and led her to an unmarked doorway in the corner. Hugh's suite was decorated in a modern style, with dark brooding colors—no surprise there.
"Have a seat." She watched his retreating form move toward what she assumed was the kitchen then sank onto the leather sofa. Its scent mixed with his, filling her head once again with erotic images that came out of nowhere.
When he walked back toward her, carrying an open bottle of wine and two glasses, her gaze dropped to the front of his trousers where an unmistakable bulge tented the front. He'd taken off his jacket, and his shirt couldn't hide the muscles in his chest and arms. Caleigh bit back a moan as she imagined those arms holding her while he rammed his huge cock inside her pussy and ass.
He sat close and poured a glass of wine, then handed it to her. She waited until he'd poured one for himself and placed the bottle on a table next to the sofa. "What shall we drink to?" she asked.
"To fucking." Hugh grinned, and Caleigh couldn't help laughing. She wasn't used to men being so obvious in their attempts to seduce her. Most of them tried to court her and woo her with flowers and dinners. Last night, Sterling hadn't even tried. They had simply fallen into each other's arms, as if it were meant to be. Hugh was so determined, so one-minded in his pursuit, Caleigh had to admire his honesty and his tenacity.
"All right. To fucking."
Hugh chuckled before taking a sip. He threw back his head and moaned seductively. Caleigh took several sips to keep from groaning. The effect this man had on her was staggering, but she loved it. She wanted more.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"The wine, or fucking?"
"Both." His gaze was intense, dark, and ripe with promise. Decadent pictures filled her head again. She took several more sips of wine until the warmth penetrated her entire body, not that it was cold in the room. The heat coming from Hugh's body was a raging inferno.
"I like them both," she said, holding his gaze. "Very much, in fact."
Hugh took the glass from her hand and placed it on the table, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her, rough and deep. Caleigh couldn't contain her moans this time. Her skin was on fire and the desire sweeping through her was unlike any she'd ever experienced. She'd never felt so wanton in her life.
She grasped handfuls of his clothing, his hair, anything she could get her hands on as his tongue ravished the inside of her mouth. He unzipped her dress and reached down to caress her ass through her girdle, setting off a shock wave of tiny contractions in her clit. She pushed her tongue inside his mouth and moved her hands down his back, enjoying the feel of his muscles underneath the clothing.
He released her mouth and stood. "Stand up." The commanding tone of his voice made her gasp, but she did as he asked. He took off her dress, his gaze following it down to the floor. "Step out of the dress."
The look in Hugh's eyes was raw animal lust. She stepped out of her dress and he laid it gently across a chair. That he would take such care with her gown touched her heart. He may have looked dark and dangerous, but there was a soft side in him, somewhere.
When he retuned to the sofa he stood in front of her again, a half smile gracing his face. "Now take off your undergarments, and for heaven's sake don't ever wear a girdle again. You have a beautiful body. Show it off."
"Oh…" Caleigh swallowed against the sudden lump in her throat. "I always wear one under my gown when I perform."
"You don't need to."
She slipped off her shoes, unhooked her garters, and wiggled out of the girdle, her face hot with embarrassment. When she reached around to unhook her bra, Hugh caught her hand and finished the job for her, then slowly removed it. A wide grin spread across his face as he gazed at her breasts. "Fucking perfect," he whispered. "Now the stockings and panties."
She slid them down and stood before him, stark naked, waiting for him to make the next move. Goose bumps broke out over her body as his gaze roamed over every inch of her. Finally, he touched her curls. It was just a soft touch, but Caleigh moaned again. She couldn't help it.
"Spread your legs a bit."
She did as he asked, fighting to keep her limbs from trembling as he rubbed her clit then her soaking wet slit. She closed her eyes, only to open them again at the sound of his voice.
"Keep them open. I want to watch them as you come."
"Oh God…" Caleigh writhed against his touch, which had become rougher now. His entire hand cupped her pussy while he looked into her eyes. One finger flicked her clit, and two slipped inside her wetness.
"Hugh… please…"
"You won't get anything else from me tonight until you come, Caleigh."

Posted Oct 03 2012 - 06:43 AM
It's from the Prince of Persia theme of 2010, and has been in assorted LEGO City and Direct-to-Consumer sets since then. I got my only copy of that hair piece from the modular Pet Shop.The hair piece on the woman in the blue shirt is actually newer, having emerged just last year for Luke Skywalker in the LEGO Star Wars theme.Anyway, there are a lot of incredible things about this set. Great pieces, audacious building techniques, and an excellent likeness of the French TGV trains on which it is clearly based. After not having any new LEGO train sets this year, this is a great way for TLG to show that they still care about LEGO train fans.Also, the price is remarkably reasonable. Expensive, yes, but just look how many pieces the set has! The fact that it doesn't come with a motor probably has to do with the fact that they're encouraging AFOLs to buy two to make a full train, and they want to keep the price low enough that doing so is a feasible option. Including a motor, infrared controller, infrared receiver, and battery box in each engine would drive the price up to the point that even buying one might seem daunting, let alone buying a second.
Is the hair piece for the female conductor new? I don't recall seeing one like it before.Also, maybe I just can't tell how it's put together, but that white arrow build looks like it would slide out the second the train tilts. It does look nice, though.

Registering services with other bundlesDavid Bosschaert Apr 4, 2011 2:36 PM
When playing with Blueprint last week I found out that registering a blueprint component was causing an exception. I captured this in JBOSGI-438.
For each Blueprint Component found, the Blueprint Extender registers a service with that component's BundleContext and this service implements the org.osgi.service.blueprint.container.BlueprintContainer interface. The problem is that the blueprint component bundle doesn't normally import the org.osgi.service.blueprint.container package.
This causes issues with JBoss OSGi because it attempts to satisfy the following requirement from the spec by trying to load the service class from the bundle that the service is registered with.
The 4.2 core 5.2.3 says:
"The names of the service interfaces under which a bundle wants to register
its service are provided as arguments to the registerService methods. The
Framework must ensure that the service object actually is an instance of
each specified service interfaces, unless the object is a Service Factory. See
Service Factory on page 134.
To perform this check, the Framework must load the Class object for each
specified service interface from either the bundle or a shared package. For
each Class object, Class.isInstance must be called and return true on the
Class object with the service object as the argument."
After some discussion on the OSGi EEG mailing list the following message was sent by BJ Hargrave, CTO of the OSGi Alliance:
"It is valid per the spec. The spec does not prohibit registering services. It only make certain class space consistency guarantees when both the provide and the consumer reference the same package for a service."
So I made a change to the code to allow this kind of situation in JBoss. See here: https://github.com/bosschaert/jbosgi-framework/tree/jbosgi_438
Anyone any thoughs?
1. Registering services with other bundlesThomas Diesler Apr 5, 2011 7:16 AM (in response to David Bosschaert)
Hi David,
your change affects both service registration and lookup.
BundleContext.getServiceReferences(...) says
- For each class name with which the service was registered, calling
ServiceReference.isAssignableTo(Bundle, String)with the context bundle and the class name on the service's
ServiceReferenceobject must return
Unless I'm mistaken, the returned set of srefs is not filtered any more because you shortcut the bundle classloader. This should show up as TCK regression, does it not? Perhaps there need to be two code paths. One for registration, one for lookup.
From BJ's comment I take that a bundle may register a service regardless of whether it can obtain a reference to the same service using BundleContext.getServicesReferences().
Could you please extends your test to verify that the isAssignableTo filter still works?
- For each class name with which the service was registered, calling
2. Registering services with other bundlesDavid Bosschaert Apr 7, 2011 5:40 PM (in response to Thomas Diesler)
Thanks for the suggestion, Thomas. Although the TCK was passing the ServiceReference.isAssignableTo() didn't do what it was supposed to do.
I've updated it and added more tests around this area. The TCK is green too.
See here for the additions (which are on my jbosgi-438 branch): https://github.com/bosschaert/jbosgi-framework/commit/eb4686fe86f0281cd689c071d5c40c2f18ee1cd2

Thomas J. Carrier, a former senior government meeting manager, crafted six "myths and realities" of negotiating a small meeting at a typical hotel property from a planner's perspective.
We asked a hotelier, Keith Biumi, brand marketing director, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, to respond from the hotel's perspective (albeit a chain perspective, which will differ from an individual hotel property).
Myth 1: There aren't many small meetings being booked, which explains why hotels charge so much for them.
Carrier — Actually, about 80 percent of the meeting industry is composed of small meetings, when the definition of a small meeting is 100 attendees or fewer. Hotels find that large conventions bring in greater short-term profits for the energy expended in booking them. The staff has to work harder to bring in smaller meetings, which lowers the overall profit margin.
Biumi — The hospitality industry has been seeing a trend in which organizations are holding three or four small regional meetings per year rather than the traditional annual national conference. Organizations can thus cut costs and save money, particularly on travel expenses.
With smaller, more frequent meetings, there is an opportunity for meeting planners to leverage their negotiating power by booking all regional meetings with one hotel brand. It is possible with many hotel companies to book these multiple meetings through one point of contact — a benefit to both the meeting planner and the hotel company. For example, at Crowne Plaza, a meeting planner can work with a single contact in the Global Sales Department or a meeting specialist. Then, the meeting specialist can share one RFP with hotels in all cities where the meeting planner has expressed interest.
Myth 2: Hotels would rather not have small meetings at all.
Carrier — Nonsense. Small meetings help to fill holes between large conventions, called shoulder periods, and during traditional slow times. Hotels sometimes find small meetings inconvenient during traditional busy periods, but it isn't unheard of for a small meeting to be booked then. It means a meeting manager was adept enough or lucky enough to have found a hole to fill. With the right information, you can be just as adept, too.
Biumi — Crowne Plaza, along with the other hotels in its competitive set, are specifically designed to accommodate up to 200 to 250 guests on peak nights, both guest rooms and meeting space combined. Hotels in this category simply don't have the space for large annual convention meetings, and their main source of revenue is small to midsize meetings. Their focus remains on regional meetings held in suburban, airport, and city hotel locations.
Myth 3: You can't negotiate a small meeting.
Carrier — That depends. If it's a typical small meeting of 125 attendees or fewer reserving fewer than 10 guest rooms (my definition), and you use a lot of meeting space and little food and beverage, then you probably can't negotiate to save money. You can, however, negotiate extras such as extra wait staff for a reception or the use of hotel flowers for the stage, or even a few free parking passes for conference staff. Use your imagination and then ask. Naturally, if you have several small meetings, then negotiate all of them all at once at one property. That's even better.
Biumi — You can always negotiate a small meeting. Hoteliers know — and expect — that planners will negotiate. That's regardless of meeting size. The following negotiating tips can be useful when booking a small meeting:
Guarantee multiple meetings with one brand.
Guarantee repeat business. (Making a commitment to hold next year's meetings with the same hotel brand is a powerful selling point).
Let the hotel company know that you will encourage employees to select their hotel brand as the brand of choice for individual business travel.
Myth 4: Even though I'm not booking many guest rooms, I'm using lots of F&B and AV equipment. That should count for a lot.
Carrier — Hotels make most of their money selling guest rooms. Period. Having meeting space in the hotel is only an added value to get people to stay overnight. A typical full-service hotel can have a profit per room of about 60 percent to 85 percent. For food and beverage, the profit is about 35 percent to 40 percent. The meeting space rental, though, is 100 percent profit. That's why a suburban hotel would want access to its meeting space for weddings and other special events at night and on weekends, which limits the space used for small meetings and restricts the use of 24-hour holds (unless you pay for it).
If you book most of the meeting space with few or no guest rooms, then the hotel might have to turn away business that requires guest rooms and meeting space. On the other hand, if you need space within a month or so, hotels will be glad to rent you any leftover meeting space rather cheap — and you might not even need to book any guest rooms to get it.
Biumi — Hotel business is based on guest rooms because that's what is most profitable for hotels. But this doesn't mean that hotels won't accept meetings that don't represent a good space-to-room ratio. Hotels are often willing to accept such meetings in the short term. A short-term booking — less than 30 days' notice — provides the best opportunity for planners to book a one-day meeting at their hotel of choice.
Myth 5: If I'm priced out of hotels altogether, there are no alternatives.
Carrier — So many meeting managers are conditioned to hold meetings in inappropriately large convention hotels when they should be thinking about holding their small meeting in smaller properties or properties that are a bit out of the way, such as airport hotels. Ideally, your guest rooms should take up about 15 percent of the entire hotel. If that's not possible, consider other meeting sites: conference centers, universities, historic sites. You might also consider holding a videoconference or a conference call, or even scheduling a webinar, a meeting held completely on the Web and accessed at the attendees' convenience.
Biumi — The best thing to do is consider holding a meeting during a hotel's need period, when hotels can be more flexible, because any business at that time will help the hotel's revenue. Hotels often know six to 10 months in advance when these periods are. If a planner can be flexible and book during these periods, he or she will find hotels much more lenient with space-to-room proportions and pricing. Being flexible on attendee arrival and departure dates can also help the planner to secure better rates. It's important to remember that there will always be hotels looking for small-meeting business. Certain hotel brands will continue to make a concerted effort to attract and cater to smaller meetings. After all, not every brand or individual property can accommodate large meetings.
Myth 6: Except for alternative sites, there just isn't any real positive news for holding small meetings.
Carrier — The reality is quite the contrary. There are a number of good things about small meetings that large conventions just can't match. For example, planning a small meeting requires a shorter lead time. In six weeks, a small meeting can come together very well. Try that with a large convention. Generally, a small meeting is easier to cancel, if that becomes necessary, without a large penalty, and small meetings are easier to rebook. Sites to hold a convention are fairly limited, but a small meeting can be held just about anywhere. The cost of a small meeting can be less per-person if the property used isn't in a high convention area.
Biumi — The reality is that there is lots of good news today for planners organizing small meetings. First, many hotels offer meeting planning assistance from an on-site professional consultant. This is particularly beneficial to the nonprofessional meeting planner. Second, just because a hotel isn't in a convention city doesn't mean that it's a poor location for a meeting. Terrific locations for small meetings include properties in suburban areas, city outskirts, and near airports.
Thomas J. Carrier is a former senior government meeting manager. He is creating the Small Meetings Network, a research service for meeting managers, and he is author of The Practical Small Meeting Planner, a step-by-step comprehensive guide due out in the fall. Keith Biumi, a 15-year veteran of the hospitality industry, is brand-marketing director for Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts - The Place to Meet. He is responsible for developing, implementing, and executing marketing, advertising, and promotions for all Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts in North America.

Data center energy efficiency strategies for CIOsVirtualization: Tools and technologies in the data center <<previous|next>> :Gartner warns of misguided virtualization strategies
CIO News:
Big Blue debuts little green mainframes
By Sarah Varney, Technology Editor
26 Jun 2008 | SearchCIO.com
"There is a lot of infrastructure build-out going on, and ways to simplify that build-out have appeal. Servers used to be delivered in individual boxes with assembly of racks, an exercise for the end user. Now, delivery of complete, configured racks is common. So moving up to the next level of modularity is a logical step," said Gordon Haff, principal IT advisor at Illuminata Inc., a technology consulting firm in Nashua, N.H.
Simple design changes such as variable-speed fans and adding rear-door heat exchangers help make the mini data centers energy efficient. The plug-and-play systems include IT racks, chiller units, a UPS and batteries, a fire suppression system, power distribution, cooling units and remote monitoring. They can be readied for shipment in as few as 12-14 weeks, according to IBM officials.
But the need for greener data centers will have an even more important role in a financial reporting context, noted Mike Kahn, managing director at The Clipper Group Inc., an IT consultancy in Wellesley, Mass.
"This move toward green IT is very real at the highest levels. Ignoring it is not going to be acceptable to most publicly traded companies. Financial auditors are going to be asking these questions, too. IBM's reporting tools for monitoring energy usage could be a good vehicle for standardized [financial] reporting. On the bottom line, energy costs will be a big factor," Kahn said.

Does your name—the one on your licence or parole conditions—suit you? Does it match who you are? If not, what do you use? Middle name? Nickname? Or, do you have an alternative identity that you use?
Since I've started a new job, I've been introducing myself to people and I've realised how little I match my name. Without doxxing myself, my name implies that I'm a bit girly and/or precious, which I'm not (ICN can verify that I do not look much like that, either). Not a day goes by that I don't refer to one of my relatives or close friends as a motherfucker.
My name can't really be shortened without sounding like an insult, so I'm kind of stuck with what I have. The name I always wanted is Cate. Or maybe Anna. They are both short and have the kind of hard sound that I like. If you could choose your name now as an adult, what would you have?
