I'll be there with the usual band of miscreants. I had camera fail at the last signing so I'm hopping to get some better photos this time.
I wish I could participate in this kinda stuff! I need to move to California, it seems.
Also, I should buy that book. I have heard that it isn't that bad.

So... Richard Castle is a real guy? I'm so confused as to why a guy is playing a character is signing books... if he didn't really write it. Can someone explain it to me?

Skyrim: The Tales of a Gallivanting, Lifeless Mannequin
I recently started playing Skyrim, and I don't think I'm going to finish it.
Hear me out before you make any pre-meditated judgments about the way in which I should conduct my life.
Now, I must preface what I'm about to say by first making it very apparent that I am a fan of role playing games. Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Crystal were the only titles I owned for the Gameboy Color, as shallow as that may seem. Final Fantasy X, to this day, is the only video game to ever make me tear up. I played through Final Fantasy VII more than three or four times just because I enjoyed the narrative to such an immense degree. However, despite the incredible fan-base, the unbelievable commitment and the insurmountable passion admirers of Bethesda have garnered for their products over the years; I have yet to play through one of their titles to completion.
Fallout New Vegas was my first foray into one of the many open world games Bethesda is known for, and I poured 25 hours of my life (non-refundable) into that title. Of course, initially the main appeal to me was the large opus which the team over at Obsidian had forged and the incredible degree of freedom to which they offered players to do just about anything they wanted. However, my main vice that I have grown to associate with the title is the place I inevitably find myself in after offering them so much of my time: I couldn't care less about my character.
No matter how many skills I improve, quests I complete and factions I defecate on, I always get to a point in these games where I honestly have no reason to move forward because the character I have molded has no effect on my well-being.
I'm of the camp that supports games as an art form and to say that every game should have some form of story or narrative in order to be fun would be a blatant lie.
Look at games like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. These characters come together and compete; that's the gist of it. Yet the folks over at Nintendo manage to accomplish what a lot of games can't: 'fun'.
Additionally, titles such as Tetris, despite recent attempts of contemporary versions of the game to cultivate some form of narrative (Xbox holiday bundle anyone?), are void of characters and the like but still manage to achieve some level of satisfaction in the hearts and minds of even the most fervid pragmatists within the world of poetry and lyricism.
So, no, I do not believe that every title should contain some level of depth or an engaging storyline in order to be fun, but what I vehemently object to is the goal of collecting or leveling up everything to be the only pull toward my eventually crossing the finish line.
I now see why I never had any desire to "collect 'em all†or why I could have passed on acquiring every ultimate weapon because, for all of my intents and purposes, I couldn't care less. I'm okay with having a subpar, 'one-handed weapon' skill if it means I can still enjoy fighting towards my goal – a goal, might I add, which must involve a character who I can tolerate and empathize with on some level.
If the main idea of Skyrim is simply to imagine myself in the place of my character and go from there, then I want no part of it.
If, however, my character experiences emotions of hurt, despair, love and affection, then that's a game I can get on board with.
The lifeless mannequin, gallivanting under the guise of a main character, who I lug from one side of Skyrim to the other is just that: a lifeless mannequin. The fact that this object has the ability to pick locks and fight the undead is simply an added bonus.
Now, keep in mind, I've only killed a couple of dragons and finished the quest-line at the College of Winterhold, but still I feel that undeniable feeling forming in my gut which whispers the words "this is what the whole game is going to be like†into my subconscious.
I haven't quite gotten to the point of no return that I had reached with Fallout New Vegas just yet, because Skyrim is actually pretty fun. But, we'll see in due time.
For the time being, just know that if I end up hating Skyrim you know why, and needless to say, I told you so.

Ghana will be missing three key players when they play Niger in their decisive Group B clash at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.
Influential midfielder , experienced enforcer Anthony Annan,Mubarak Wakaso and striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom are all not available for the match in Port Elizabeth.
The trio missed the Black Stars' final training session at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University on Sunday night.
Spain-based Wakaso misses the game as he is serving a one-match ban after picking up his second booking of the tournament for his goal celebration against Mali.
The Espanyol star would have missed the match against Niger even if he was not suspended because he is nursing a knee injury, which he suffered in the match against Mali.
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has disclosed that he should be fit for the quarterfinals, assuming the Black Stars qualify.
The Black Stars will still be missing Italy-based striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, who has not fully recovered from a groin injury sustained during their training camp in Abu Dhabi.
Annan also remains on the sidelines after aggravating an ankle injury
during Ghana's opening Group B match against DR Congo.
Ghana must beat Niger to be assured of the top spot in Group B.

What the Emmy Nominations Got Right (and Wrong) This Year
Daniel Fienberg: Happy Emmy morning, Tim!
Remember how happy we were at this time last year? Suddenly Emmy voters were recognizing The Americans and an impressive number of critical darlings were making the cut.
And this year? Well, apparently Emmy voters really, really liked Westworld and This Is Us. How happy are you?
Tim Goodman: Well, if last year was one step forward, then… (Sighs.) I'm not sure where to begin. I honestly thought Emmy voters made a huge leap last year. As an organization, I had ranted that it was essential for the TV Academy to get its shit together, and there was no better opportunity than the one left at its doorstep when the Golden Globes returned to nonessential wackiness. I said it had to start, absolutely, with The Americans. That a moment had to be seized. So, yeah, Dan, I remember that very well. Feeling like change had finally come and the people who represent television finally proved they actually watched it and knew what quality was. And now? Wow. It's more than two steps back. I mean, The Americans not being nominated is a flat-out joke. There are a lot of bad jokes we'll get to — but it appears to me that rubber-stamping, the scourge of the Emmys, is back full-time. I'm not super-surprised about Westworld and This Is Us — we both kind of figured that would happen, but maybe not to this extent. I just think overall there's so much regression and badness. It's hard to pick a starting spot. But wow, not nominating The Americans and going with House of Cards? Again. That series hasn't been good in years. Gah. How disappointed, stunned and angry are you?
Fienberg: Basically, the way I figure it is that last year, "Will Emmy voters recognize The Americans?" was a narrative and Emmy voters acknowledged it, but this year having done it once, they didn't feel as compelling a need to do it again. There were too many shiny and new dramas in the category, and so This Is Us and Westworld and Stranger Things and The Crown all had to force their ways in. And a couple of those are good shows. Netflix played the Emmys game amazingly well this year, renting out a huge space and doing dozens of FYC events, and it obviously paid off. All of those nominations for House of Cards are embarrassing, though. Other than Robin Wright, there is no aspect of that show that is worthy of recognition.
But OK. I'm at the "accentuate the positive" part of dealing with the nominations, and The Handmaid's Tale, which had a spectacular first season, got a well-deserved pile of nominations, including Elisabeth Moss' inevitable nom, but also drama series and Reed Morano for directing the pilot and Alexis Bledel and Samira Wiley (who should have been nominated for Orange Is the New Black) and Ann Dowd. Speaking of Dowd, she's the lone nomination for The Leftovers, which makes me ANGRY.
Goodman: I knew that The Leftovers was going to get nothing and Rectify was going to get nothing, so I had already wept those tears of regret. It'll take a while to get over The Americans precisely because pulling a series out of a category it finally got in is tough to take, especially while leaving in House of Cards. But I'll tell you how this problem could have been fixed easily. It's something I've railed about for two years now: Given the magnitude of content in the industry right now — a topic that everyone in this industry talks about every day, so it's right there in the zeitgeist as a constant reminder — there needs to be 10 nominations in every category. It's beyond ridiculous that there's not. In fact, it's indefensible. If you're going to expand to seven, in some categories, what's the logic for not going to 10? It saves the TV Academy embarrassment — and members should be embarrassed today. And most of the stories written after the nominations would be less about snubs and more about which of all of these (mostly) deserving actors and series will win in September. I mean, seriously, the TV Academy needs to stop shooting itself in the face. Expand to 10 in every category for 2018 or there's no hope.
Fienberg: Look, I agree with you in the basic principle, but I don't think "Nominate 10 shows" is the answer when a much simpler answer is "Don't nominate House of Cards anymore." I'm not going to say, "We need to expand the field so that Emmy voters can nominate the awful stuff and still find room for the good stuff" when "Stop nominating Modern Family" is a better solution than "If we expand to 10, Modern Family *and* Fleabag can get nominations." Because, yes, Modern Family is nominated again after a season that was almost completely laugh-free. If Emmy voters wanted to recognize network shows (in addition to the very worthy Black-ish), Speechless and The Good Place and The Carmichael Show are just sitting there.
But again, I'm going to try to accentuate the positive again on the comedy side, because Atlanta was one of TV's best shows last year and the series and Donald Glover got an impressive assortment of nominations, including recognition for writing, directing and acting. And there's Pamela Adlon, too!
Goodman: Yeah, but Atlanta should have been in the supporting actor categories, too, Dan! You're not switching me from negative to positive that easily. OK, fine. Yep, we talked before about how this was going to be Atlanta's year, so it's good to see that happen. Same for Master of None. Best comedy has lots of diversity, which is nice to see. I will agree to disagree with you on the 10-per-category idea, but wow, a lot more deserving series could have fit nicely here. As it stands, and keeping it positive, your network picks, as we discussed previously, are spot-on for this category. Having Fleabag, Catastrophe, Casual, Girls, Better Things, You're the Worst and Insecure at least get a legit shot would have been nice. I will circle back quickly and agree that yes, Handmaid's Tale getting in is fantastic. I thought it was a slam dunk, but you never know, obviously. And I think that's a really important step for Hulu. Shall we hit the other categories?
Fienberg: It's a huge step for Hulu, and coupled with underwhelming performances from a lot of Amazon's stuff (both deserving and undeserving), Hulu may have gone from afterthought to second place (Netflix's pretty untouchable in first) when it comes to streaming prestige TV with just one show (because Hulu had a bunch of originals that didn't make a ripple).
When you say you want to hit other categories, is that your way of saying you want to talk about Big Little Lies and its strength in the movie/miniseries field? Both Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman got nominations, as did Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon for Feud. Throw in Felicity Huffman for American Crime and Carrie Coon at least getting a modicum of recognition for Fargo, and that's one of the most impressive categories going.
Goodman: That's going to be impossible to pick. But hey, they're all winners. I like how in the midst of all this madness you're still trying to provoke me with Big Little Lies. Hey, did you know Black Mirror was a movie? OK, um, moving on to sort of an all-encompassing field of drama actors, I can tell you that Coon makes me the happiest, but I'm also very pleased to see Elisabeth Moss, even though it wasn't a surprise (it might only be that if she doesn't win). Both Keri Russell and Mathew Rhys help put a salve on the Americans thing. Thandie Newton and David Harbour sort of made my day (if that's possible, given the catastrophe before us). You said you wanted to be positive, so I didn't even go on and on about acting snubs (you know, beyond The Leftovers), but I will just say that, ahem, that actress in a comedy series list is, uh, interesting. Probably could have done a little better there. Oh, and hey look, Dan: Barb from Stranger Things got a nomination! I'm sure that delights you.
Fienberg: Who's provoking who now, Tim? Who's provoking who?! Stupid Barb. I don't want to hate Barb. I didn't hate Barb when I watched Stranger Things. But then a weird thing happened, and Barb went from being an underwritten blank slate to being the blank slate upon which a generation read all of its/our anxieties about being marginalized and underwritten. But even The Cult of Barb isn't justification for giving Barb an Emmy nomination, and I swear this is no offense to Shannon Purser, but I'm surprised the nomination wasn't just to "Barb." But I'll continue to accentuate the positive and point out that Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) both received Emmy nominations this morning, even if Ventimiglia's is a bit strange and Netflix's Gilmore Girls reboot received none.
Goodman: I like how we've just devolved into a near-rage spiral just when you wanted us to pull it together. We didn't even talk about Seth Meyers getting snubbed! I mean, I was just having visions of the lion in The Leftovers chasing down Emmy voters in a parking lot. That's not bad, is it? I keep looking at the nominations and losing my mind, then recovering it when I think about the big picture and the fact that, well, you know, the country has much greater issues facing it as it swirls down the drain. You know that someone reading this will agree that we shouldn't be so caught up in awards. But it's part of what we do. It's important for the industry. So I'll just say this in one brief moment of reasoned calm: I really think the TV Academy needs to think about how to celebrate itself instead of making viewers and critics and series creators, writers, actors and directors pull their hair out in frustration. This is the platinum age of television. There's greatness all around. That's why I think 10 nominees in each category is the easiest and most necessary fix. Not everybody can be nominated and get a little ribbon for doing brilliant work on a little scripted show that adds value to our culture. I understand that. Beyond the expansion of nominees, Emmy voters really need to take more patience and care with their jobs. They need to watch more. They need to expand their horizons. They need to be open to change, to the shifts in the industry. They need to be more diligent about getting it right. For now, that's all I've got left standing on my soapbox.
How about we talk about five nominations that made us happy — beyond what we'd discussed here — with Glover and Atlanta and Coon and Master of None, etc.? That would return us to thinking positive. And I think five is actually easy. My five would be Mandy Patinkin getting a nomination after the Emmys finally tired of Homeland. He remains ever great. David Thewlis getting a nomination he so richly deserved for Fargo. Adlon getting noticed, finally. Glover and his brother both getting writing nominations for Atlanta. And Planet Earth II, quite possibly the best thing that aired on television all year, getting a just nomination for documentary/nonfiction series. See, easy. And positive.
Fienberg: OK. Positive. And people I haven't mentioned already. Jackie Hoffman getting nominated in addition to the bigger names in Feud makes me very happy. Since O.J.: Made in America was my favorite thing that aired on TV last year, all of its nominations work for me. The Better Call Saul episode "Witness" was a magnificently directed hour, and I'm glad Vince Gilligan got a nomination for it, even if I'm bitter about Michael McKean and Rhea Seehorn being ignored again. I can take or leave This Is Us in the balance, but Gerald McRaney had never been nominated for an Emmy and he was so great as Dr. K, so I'm pleased for him. And even if Alison Wright really deserved her nomination for The Americans last year, she's generally hugely worthy.
Goodman: Damn it all. Now I want to vent on the McKean and Seehorn snubs! But I won't. I'm taking a breath. You know what? We could have been even angrier. But at the same time, we could have found even more series or actors or writers to be happy for in their nominations. We don't have time though. Plenty of new shows to review. Our job here is done. Until the actual awards.

Bottos Creates A New Marketplace For Data In The AI Ecosystem
Bottos Utilizes the Blockchain to Promote Data Sharing to Drive AI Innovation and Competitiveness
Bottos is poised to boost innovation in the AI ecosystem by creating a new decentralized P2P data sharing network. The Bottos Data Marketplace utilizes blockchain technology to provide a marketplace to connect artificial intelligence companies and data providers.
For Bottos, it's a simple equation: Blockchain + Data x AI. AI systems continue to become more accessible and affordable; the barrier to growth is acquiring the massive amount of quality data needed for model training. Once a data source is found, the cost can be another barrier; data costs can take up half the budget for an AI or predictive modeling project.
Also Read: A New Community for Ex-Googlers Interested in Blockchain
"Our goal for the Bottos Data Marketplace is to create the largest global data sharing network to revolutionize the AI field. That will be the first step in building the infrastructure for AI development with blockchain technology, eventually creating a new decentralized AI ecosystem," said Xin Song, Co-Founder, Bottos.
The Bottos Data Marketplace is the first DApp on the Bottos public blockchain; open sourcing will allow developers around the world to build any kind of AI-related DApp on Bottos public blockchain, including model marketplaces, data storage sharing networks and computer power-sharing networks.
Bottos is currently recruiting companies to join its community as it enters the final testing phase of the Bottos Data Marketplace. Bottos 3.0 is expected to be fully operational by the end of May.
Bottos expects that its open marketplace will reduce the cost of data, perhaps by 50 percent in some cases.
Also Read: How Blockchain Technology Could Disrupt Social Media's Stronghold on Data
Not only will data be more accessible on the Bottos Data Marketplace, it will also be more secure. The blockchain provides immutability, as well as traceability through the registration of original or transformed data to ensure quality and proper use.
"The blockchain makes data acquisition more transparent and the Bottos Data Marketplace allows parties to verify ownership of data, as well as the ability to trace and remove any data sources that are unreliable," said Song.
Bottos public blockchain will utilize a rating system for both AI companies and data providers, creating another level of transparency in the marketplace. Transactions will involve smart contracts using BTO tokens, which can also be used for third-party services like data verification or cleaning. AI companies can also issue their own tokens on the Bottos platform to fund their projects or sell their finished model.

We recommend waiting to send your item until you've received payment from your buyer.
Managing unpaid items
If you're a high-volume seller, you can automate how you manage unpaid items using Unpaid Item Assistant.
If you just sell occasionally or you haven't set up Unpaid Item Assistant yet, here's what you can do if a buyer doesn't pay:
- Get in touch with the buyer to find out why they haven't paid. Sometimes it's just that they didn't realise they won the auction, they're not sure of the postage cost or don't know how to pay
Contact the buyer
- Send the buyer an invoice to remind them to pay. In your Sold items in My eBay, select the item, then select More actions and choose Send invoice
See your sold items - opens in new window or tab
Reporting an unpaid item
If the buyer doesn't respond to your message or invoice and still hasn't paid, here's what you should do:
- If it's been more than 4 days since the listing ended, you can select Report an unpaid item. This lets us know you're having a problem and starts the formal process for resolving the issue – we call this opening a case. You need to report a case within 32 days of the listing ending.
Report an unpaid item
- After opening a case, the buyer has 4 days to respond or pay for the item. On the fifth day, you can close the case by going to the Resolution Centre - opens in new window or tab and selecting Receive fee credit, then Close case on the following page. Under Have you received payment from the buyer?, select No. The unpaid item is then recorded on the buyer's account, the final value fee will be credited back to you, and you can relist the item.
It's important to close out any unpaid item cases. If you don't close an unpaid item case within 36 days, we'll close it for you, but you won't be eligible for a final value fee credit. Also, if we close a case, the unpaid item won't be recorded on the buyer's account.
When you let us know that a buyer hasn't paid, we can step in and help you. We'll get in touch with the buyer on your behalf and ask them to pay you. We can also protect you against negative Feedback. On auction-style listings, once we're certain that the sale won't be completed, you can make a Second Chance Offer to the next highest bidder.
Using Unpaid Item Assistant
If you enable Unpaid Item Assistant - opens in new window or tab on your seller account, it automatically opens and closes unpaid item cases when a buyer doesn't pay. It can save time and ensure you don't miss a final value fee credit if you forget to close a case.

As we reflect from the beginning of the year to this last week of 2016, I am sure voluminous blogs can be written of testimonies of the wondrous works of the Lord this year!
Salvation-We can attest to the Lord's on time salvation, not only of the soul, but of the mind and body. We can testify of God's grace keeping us sane in our right minds, where others could not handle what we had to face, but the Lord's grace, mercy and peace sustained our minds to think clearly.
Deliverance- Oh Jesus, we can attest to God's deliverance from traps and snares. Where once bound, we had lost ourselves, but God delivered us from the mucky mire, literally pulling us out by force, setting us free and bringing us to our full identity where we can finally say "I found me". Among the profound deliverances that I experienced were; deliverance from "works", deliverance from "busy and doing"; deliverance from false humility, deliverance from religious spirits and pretense, deliverance from false mindsets and unbelief. Can you testify to what God has delivered you from?
Protection- We attest to His divine protection, accidents were averted, the plots of the enemy were exposed and foiled in advance. The Lord then set a shield of protection and permanently shut dangerous doors permanently even when I fought to reopen. But then He open new safer doors and opened by eyes to see where He is guiding me to.
Restoration- He brought inner healing of past wounds and provided an ongoing antidote of His love. We came to know of the Father's pure unadulterated love. The Lord restored by VOICE for worship; and anointed me with the OIL OF JOY and DANCE! Then He began restitution with latter and former rains. He restitution has been perpetual.
I now know Him as THE LORD OF REPLACEMENT & RESTITUTION.
Community- He brought a new community of fellowship. In it we are free to be ourselves as we share in joy of our identities and destinies the Lord has for each of us. It continues to be a community that focuses on unity and support for one another and fosters each other's growth and purpose of their destinies. In this community, I finally found my "tribe".
Have we seen His wondrous works this year? Yes! Have you see the wonders of His Love? Yes! Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for His mercies endures forever. OH, COME LET US ADORE HIM

At last night's Church Stretton Town Council meeting, councillors expressed grave concerns about the scale and speed with which Shropshire Council is now proposing to cease all funding of discretionary services, such as Libraries, Leisure Centres and Swimming Pools as from next April. This will hit small towns, such as Church Stretton and surrounding parishes, harder than larger towns, which have bigger populations to share the funding of such services. Potentially, this will be very socially divisive, leaving more rural areas with even less access to such services than they have now.
The Council will only have the month of July, in which to formally consult with the local community and surrounding parishes in order to establish the degree of willingness locally to fund these services, if no alternative options for these "At Risk" services have been identified.
Community Consultation alert Press release.

McKinney Polytechnic Institute (Lincoln County, KY)(start date: 1911 - end date: 1916)
McKinney is a community located in Lincoln County, KY. Within the community, J. M. Bates was principal of the African American elementary school that operated six months out of each year. The school had opened in 1911 with three students from Iowa. L. S. Bowles was president of the school in 1912 when a man in Iowa claimed to be collecting funds for the school [source: "Not a very rich field" LeMars Semi-Weekly Sentinel (Iowa), 01/30/1912), p.1]. The one teacher at the school, a woman, was paid $180 annually by the county. An estimated 60 students would come to attend the school. The two-story framed building was located on 100 acres of land. The U.S. Office of Education recommended that Lincoln County take over the operation and develop it into a county training school. The McKinney Polytechnic Institute dissolved its corporation in 1916 [source: "The McKinney Polytechnic Institute ..." The Interior Journal, 01/04/1916, p.2]. For more see p. 279 for the 1915 report in Negro Education, by T. J. Jones [available online at Google Book Search]. See also entries for African American Schools in the NKAA Database.

Two plus years ago we left Connecticut and moved to Illinois for the hubby's job. We had one day to find a house (long story and no fun). Despite low inventory, we were lucky enough to find a house we liked, in a good school district.
Ever since moving in, I've been slowly going from room to room, making this house our home. I recently finished the dining room, which is funny since it's a room we never use!! It was necessary to redo the dining room. The dining room is the first room anyone sees when entering the house from the front door. We have an open concept main floor and the entryway is right off the dining room. This means, even if we never use the dining room, it needs to be inviting and look like we actually do use the room.
There wasn't anything wrong with the dining room, it was beautiful, but it wasn't my style and it lacked personality. Every room in the house, including the garage, was painted this same dark taupe. It's a great color, but there was way too much of it for my liking.
The first thing I did was hire a painter. I can paint walls, but not on this scale. The house is very open concept and has high ceilings and I don't have the equipment or the skills to handle that scope of work! Since we've moved in, we've had the entire house painted, minus the three rooms in the house that I have actually painted.
I chose Sherwin Williams Naval for the tray ceiling and the lower half of the chair rail. Then for the rest of the walls I chose Colonnade Gray, also by Sherwin Williams.
I have to admit, after the Naval was painted below the chair rail, I felt like I'd made a bad choice. I left the paint the way it was for a year thinking I'd eventually repaint it in a white. Then one day it dawned on me, it wasn't the color I didn't like, it was the dining room table. We've had the dining room table and chairs for years and the dark table against the navy blue paint wasn't working for me.
One while night while suffering from insomnia, I went downstairs and painted the bottom of the table off white. Once I was finished, I was a lot happier with the room. The off white paint on the bottom of the table lightened everything up.
After I painted the table, I still wasn't happy with the look of the dining room.
I'd been thinking about building a bench for the table for awhile. I love the look of a dining bench and thought this would might the room together. Before I had a chance to build a bench, a neighbor was selling an old outdoor cedar bench for $5. How could I go wrong?!! Of course I bought the bench! I figured if I didn't like the bench, I was only out $5 and a bit of time and paint.
Here's the bench before I gave it a makeover.
I painted the base of the bench the same off white as the bottom of the dining table. I sanded, stained and waxed the seat of the bench to match the table top. Once I finished the bench, I placed it in front of the dining table and smiled a big smile. What I had in envisioned for the dining room was coming together.
Once the dining room was painted, I took down the existing chandelier and gave it a makeover. I painted the chandelier with a high gloss white spray paint so it would pop against the navy blue ceiling. I painted the outside of the shades the same navy blue as the tray ceiling. The insides of the shades I painted a metallic gold.
To finish off the room, I needed to find the right rug to pull everything together. I wanted a light rug, but I didn't want to worry about the spills and dirt the come from an active kiddo and a dog. I found the perfect rug for the room on the Target website. It's an indoor/outdoor rug which means if there are any spills (if we ever use our dining room), they can be quickly and easily cleaned up. I love how the rug pulls the whole room together.
These are a few of my favorite things in the dining room!
Last summer, I found this vintage wood shelf at a flea market in Chicago. I fell in love the moment I laid eyes on it and had to bring it home with me. Now the shelf is in the dining room and holds my collection of vintage glass bottles. Hunter and I actually dug up these bottles in the yard of our Connecticut home.
I love this vintage wire laundry hamper. I'd been looking for one for awhile and was lucky enough to find one at a consignment store after we moved to Illinois.
And there's my Hudson Coaster wagon. I bought this at an estate sale in CT years ago. It's one piece I don't think I could part with.
Another favorite is my vintage wood and metal chicken feeder I used as a centerpiece. I filled it with some of my vintage Ball jars.
Phew! I'm happy to have this room finished, but for me no room is ever really 'finished'!
I love the challenge of designing a room. My goal with the dining room was to create a room that felt collected and inviting. Other than the dining room table and window coverings, everything in this room was sourced from different locations. Nothing was bought or planned to be together, rather it came together like a puzzle.
How about you!? Do you like the challenge of putting a room together? If so, what's your favorite part of the process?
Thank you for reading,

DENNIS BOVELL – heaven
In 1981 Dennis released his solo album, Brain Damage. A double album that fused afro beat, funk, dub, jazz, blues and styles that have still to be genre-fied, it went over most peoples heads and is now a mainly forgotten masterpiece. From that album we present on the A side, the magnificent Heaven, a disco dub afro-sound dance floor bomb that somehow manages to sound more current today than it did 35 years ago. Also included is a slightly edited version that removes some of the vocals to focus on the groove a little more. On the AA side is the legendary Escape Goat Dub. Back in 1981, Dennis Bovell was perhaps thee hot producer of the day. Epic Records put Dennis in the studio with singer songwriter Garland Jeffreys to work on his new album. It turned out Mr. Jeffreys was a big dub fan so most of the studio time was spent doing wild dub tracks instead of the singer song writer type tracks the label was anticipating. The wildest of those was Escape Goat Dub which must be up there in the greatest dubs ever to shake the world. The label was patently at a loss as to what to do with it so stuck it out as a promo only 12 in France, and there it lay forgotten. After a long search Twitch picked up a copy in Rennes a few years back and got permission from Mr. Bovell and Mr. Jeffreys to put it out again. Its not an expensive record or a mega rare record, just little known and definitely deserving to be heard by new ears. Epic dub abounds. The AA2 is Smouche, another track from Brain Damage; 3 minutes of dub, funk inflected Moogy summery joy. *Optimo

Kristina Bangma – Owner and Founder
In 2009, when Neil McKinnon told me they were going to organize a ride from Vancouver to Whistler, I started a training group for my clients to prepare them for this crazy idea! After riding in the first Granfondo event in 2010, I realized that Vancouver had a real need for a club that could teach new riders the technique and training required to complete these types of events.
My goal was to make it easy for any new rider to be able to enter the cycling scene and leave our club with the confidence and fitness to ride in any event of their choosing.
My past riding experience started early at the age of 16 when I bought my first bright, red, Trek 1500. It turned out to be the first of many bikes and the start of many years of bike racing including; xc mountain biking, downhill mountain biking, triathlon, Ironman, crits, and then eventually the fondo and longer distances.
After being diagnosed with a genetic heart condition in 2016, I no longer race. But I still enjoy participating in a few charity events with my Club Members and watching their progress and success.
Currently the club has grown to it's maximum capacity of 120 members from Beginner to Advanced. Every year, it is always exciting to watch the riders learn and progress from season to season. They are so excited and jazzed that it is infectious.

I believe that with the proper training, nutrition, sleep, state of mind and injury prevention there are no limits to what anyone can achieve.
As a Mechanical Engineer, understanding aerodynamics, energy, power, strength and moving systems became my specialty. The human body is no different than any other system, it is simply more complex.
My athletic career started with competitive swimming. I didn't pick up cycling until 2006 when I raced my first sprint distance triathlon. I was hooked and wanted more. I learned from swimming, that if I wanted to succeed in this new sport, I would need to change my training habits. My weekly training hours dramatically increased from a mere 6 to 24 hours, and that was on top of working a full time job. The training paid off and I went from completing my first sprint triathlon to being a carded athlete.
I represented Canada in the 2009 and 2010 International Triathlon Union Pan American Cups as well as the 2010 World Master Games in Sydney.
Hard work, consistency, attention to detail and strong technical skills set the foundation for my training program and they are the same standards that I coach by.
Besides working full time with the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services and part time with Kits Energy, I also have an online bike coaching business called Peak Power Coaching. peakpowercoaching.com, training cyclists with Power Meters.

Past Coach Kelyn Akuna
Kelyn was Kits Energy's first coach. In the early days, it was with his help that Kristina was able to expand and grow the club. Currently Kelyn is living in Ontario, managing the Milton Velodrome.
As we are a seasonal club, we are always looking for qualified coaches to join our Team. If you have experience coaching, teaching, racing or leading large groups of people, we would love to hear from you. Please note that all of our coaches are required to have the following current certifications.
- NCCP Coach In Training
- Red Cross First Aid and CPR w/AED
- Experience racing or experience coaching adults
If you would like to be a part of our Team and ride with this amazing group of people, please contact Kristina.
I have always had a love for sport. At 10 years old I was already swimming competitively, reaching National level by the age of 15. Since then, leading an active lifestyle was in my blood.
My passion and love for cycling came out of training for Ironman Canada (twice) and watching the Tour de France. Watching the tour led me to my next goal which was to one day travel to France and watch the Tour. I did one better and spent a full week following the Tour, riding the same routes in the Pyrenees.
I believe that the best training program is one that engages you with variety and ultimately ensures that you will improve. Now for the last five years my husband and I continue to travel to Europe every year. So far we have ridden the Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites, Picos and the Tuscan hills. These riding vacations are the events that keep me motivated to train and inspire me to want to continue to improve.
After 15 years working in the finance industry I decided to ride on a new path, as a Cycling Coach. I wanted to share my love for fitness and riding with like minded people. I believe that cycling is one of the most amazing sports where riders have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, see the sights, experience the thrill of riding and improve their fitness all through one single activity. If you can roll that into a vacation as well, what better way to stay fit and healthy – even as we age!

After completing 5 Ironman events and 30 marathons, it isn't unusual for people to ask me what it is about training and racing that keeps me coming back for more.
For me, race day is the icing on the cake. This day is the culmination of all my hard work, pushing my body to limits I never thought possible. I always tell people that if you want to race an Ironman or a marathon, you have to enjoy the training.
Training for Ironman opened up a whole new world for me in terms of cycling. I love the opportunity to explore new routes and I like to take advantage of the many fantastic rides we have on West Coast such as: The Canada Day Ride, STP, Axel Merckx and GranFondo Whistler just to name a few.
What I love most about coaching is sharing my passion and experience with new riders. I enjoy watching their skills develop and achieving their goal with a smile on their face. It is simply awesome!
When I'm not coaching on the road with Kits Energy you can find me in the gym as one of Kits Energy's personal trainers or at my part time job as a dental hygienist.

Gregg Ambrosi
I was never what I'd call a sporty kid, maybe geek described me better. I didn't think that I enjoyed sports or was all that good at them. Well, all that changed with a little encouragement and some good coaching.
In the early 90s, a friend suggested I come out for a 'bike ride' with some of his friends. I was shattered after 15k and was hooked at the same time. I spent several years learning the do's and don'ts of cycling from some experienced riders and a great coach. I finally understood that a lot of what I thought 'just came naturally' could also be learned (and taught!).
To help battle the winter blues in Saskatchewan where riding wasn't all that pleasant, I started swimming and doing some running at the indoor track. I soon added some duathlons and triathlons to my schedule and was hooked on sport a second time. 25 years later I'm still at it with fitness an essential part of my daily life.
Cycling will always be my passion: the mechanics of the bike itself; the escape from the daily grind, the wind blowing in my face, the excitement of a new destination and the satisfaction of doing it all 'self-propelled'.
I was very fortunate in those early years with some experienced riders and a great coach teaching me how to enjoy myself, push my physical limits, and be safe and courteous while riding.
I suppose all of this is why I love helping people achieve their fitness goals. And as a coach that means lots of things to me: encouraging people to strive for more than they thought possible, teaching them techniques and drills to hone their skills, providing structure to their fitness, and being supportive and understanding of their non-sport lives.
We are all capable of amazing things; sometimes we just need some guidance getting there; that's me; that's what I do.

Storage of mobility scooters
Johnnie Johnson Housing works in partnership with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to ensure high standards of fire safety in all of our properties across all regions.
Following a serious fire which occurred in one of our properties in June 2015, caused by a mobility scooter, we have since introduced a zero tolerance approach to the storage of mobility scooters in common areas of our properties. Residents are now required to either keep their scooters in their flat, outside or in a dedicated storage area provided by us.
In some cases a secure external area has been provided for this purpose which enables residents to charge their scooters safely without risk to themselves or any other residents or staff.
We aim to ensure where possible that the needs of those individuals who need to use a mobility scooter in order to maintain their independence are taken into consideration when implementing this policy. At the same time the highest standards of fire safety will be maintained to ensure the safety of all residents and staff within our properties.

For occasion, I should purchase options on real property or I may construction a sandwich lease which would basically leave administration out of it. There are infinite methods to construction a deal and take simply the part(s) you are serious about.

One of Mark Hamill's earliest jobs was as the voice of Corey Anders on the cartoon series Jeannie from 1973 to 1975. And scaring a home purchaser into considering they have to write the offer with the listing agent in an effort to get the home just isn't only unethical, it's a lie. I imagine the Government should address this anomaly out there and Real Estate Alliance will likely be making a pre-funds submission on this subject. Furthermore, desirous candidates can enlist themselves for career advancement sooner or later.


text: Previous Post | Next Post Demilec (USA) LLC® Featured Contractor - Daren Degner with DEK Insulation Posted By DEMILEC || 28-Jan-2011 We here at DEMILEC (USA) LLC® are extremely excited about the work being done by our Authorized Contractors out in the field. As a testament to this excitement, we would like to highlight some of our contractors out there that are doing extraordinary work in the field of spray foam insulation, featuring Demilec products. This month, we are highlighting Daren Degner of DEK Insulation who operates of Lorena, Texas, just south of Waco. Daren has been in the spray foam business for five years and is currently running four spray foam rigs. He has been spraying Demilec products since his business began and currently uses both SEAL ECTION 500® and HEATLOK SOY 200®. Demilec: Thank you for taking the time for an interview today Daren. Can you tell us a little about your background and how you got into the spray foam insulation business? Daren: Well I was a district sales manager for Coca-Cola. My business partner Kevin's dad's house was getting foamed so we went over and watched it. It took this guy a month to foam the house and he was charging him $27,000. We figured it should have been a 4 or 5 day job. My business partner had been in the family business doing construction and we were both burnt out and wanted to do something different. And here we are today. Demilec: What are some of the projects that you have completed that you are especially proud of? Daren: Our projects at Fort Hood have been huge for us. We have done a lot of big buildings there, in both SEAL ECTION 500 and HEATLOK 200. Also, the McLennan Community College Emergency Services Building which is a very large building here in Waco that we did was great. It was done entirely in SEAL ECTION 500®. We also have the VA hospital in Waco coming up soon. Demilec: What was your experience like working for the US Government when you were doing Fort Hood? How did you secure that job and how did it go? Daren: We secured the job by reputation. They had some other companies working for them in the past with which they had some issues. Those issues with the other companies got our foot in the door. It's a different ballgame out there. There are a lot of things that you can normally control that you can't when you are working for the government. A lot of times it can get under your skin, but you just have to make it work. Demilec: What do you feel is the future of spray foam? Daren: It's going to get larger, by far. I think that we are just now entering the growing phase of spray foam. The only thing I see right now as one of the older applicators is new contractors out there starting to really price cut the foam. The price of materials isn't going down, the price of labor isn't going down, insurance definitely isn't going down and they're still trying to price cut this stuff! A lot of these guys don't seem to understand that ten times zero is still zero. Nobody can live off of zero. Everyone needs to take a deep breath, sell their service and sell their product. Demilec: How important do you feel that quality is? Daren: People use us because of the quality of our product, our timeliness, and our clean up. Our product is pretty and it's never off-ratio. We seal everything up tight with no cracks left open. We offer people mechanical consultations throughout the building phase of the house or building. We counsel the builder and the general contractor about HVAC sizing to prevent humidity issues. When we leave a place, we leave it immaculate. When we say we will be there Wednesday, we show up on Wednesday. People will pay 20% more for timely, clean service. Demilec: Ok one more question Daren. How would you compare Demilec to other spray foam products that you have used? Daren: Let me put it like this. We have sprayed lots of different products. Usually we buy a truckload at a time. The last time we bought a truckload of somebody else's product, we sprayed about 8 sets and made them come back and pick up the other 32 sets. It had red fuzz in it. Somebody left a shop rag in one of the mixing hoppers and it contaminated hundreds of sets. They sent us a replacement truckload of product that they guaranteed was good. About 10 sets in, we were sending it back because the insides of the drums were rusting. They didn't put a coating on the inside of the drums and they developed a corrosive build up that choked up our equipment. At that point we were done. SEALECTION 500 is the easiest product to apply. There is not a better applying product out there. It's just a clean product. If you are having a problem, it's most likely a problem with your applicators. All foam has an odor when it's being applied, but with Demilec that odor goes away when it dries. We've had other products that smelled like clay. I can walk in some of those homes after 5 years and I still smell that odor. That's why I stay with Demilec. Demilec: Well we are definitely glad to have you as a customer Daren and we look forward to having you around for many years to come. Thank you for your time.

Nikki in Body Gossip - The Hub 29th March 2009
Body Gossip is an inspirational and powerful campaign about body image. Brain child of Ruth Rogers who is speaking out against unattainable perfection of the human body in magazines and through out the fashion world. Frustrated at how little is being done to celebrate HEALTHY, REALISTIC beauty. So she thought of doing performances about real people's stories about their real bodies and have them performed by celebrities to raise money for BEAT, the Eating Disorders Association.
In this gallery is photo's of Nikki's performance in Body Gossip at the Hub 29th March 2009. Nikki read a powerful story so similar to her own, called "This is me" which was written by Sarah Wallace.
The next Body Gossip show (same cast, same scripts) is taking place on Sunday 10th May at 7pm at The Hub. www.bodygossip.org
The photo's of Nikki performing in Body Gossip were taken by Elizabeth Rogers.
Nikki Grahame in Body Gossip
Nikki Grahame gallery of pictures from Body Gossip 10th May at the Hub Kings Cross. Nikki reads This is Me a powerful monilogue written by Sarah Wallace, a story so similar to her own.
From Nikki's reading of Sarah Wallace's story:-
....So my question to you is: why, in this day, are men and women everywhere, still trying to obtain perfection? Why are media giving out the message that thin is perfection and perfection equals beauty? Why are children as young as 12 starving themselves? It is a problem. It is a hugh problem and we need to face it.
We need to accept our bodies for what they are and focus on celebrating the individuals that make the world. Everyone is special. Everyone is unique. Everyone has a natural beauty and deserves to be happy with who they are. Afterall. It is what is in our hearts that makes us who we are, not what is in our reflections. To me, loving yourself is the most beautiful thing of all. This is my message this is my story. This is me.
Nikki's Book Launch and Birthday Party
Nikki celebrates her birthday with the Launch of her new book Dying to be Thin. Among the celebrity guests there were a number of special guests that are very special to Nikki, they are the Doctors and Carers who had looked after her. In attendance were Paul Byrne (Collingham Garderns), Sam Swinglehurst (Great Ormand St), Sarah Haring (Nikki's GP) and Dr Dee Dawson the medical director at Rhodes Farm who also writes a Foreward in the book. Also present are two of endemol workers Abby and Dan they were responsible for Nikki during the audition process and the time leading up to Big Brother.
Other Celebrities present are the BB8 twins Sam and Amanda Marchant, Natalie Cassidy, David Van Day, Lizzie Cundy, Sue Moxley, Anthony Costa and Vanessa Feltz.
Nikki gives her speech thanking everyone and presenting flowers to the Doctors and Carers who cared for Nikki during the years at the various institutions. Nikki looked amazing and and very confident delivering the speech which was from the heart not looking much at the prepared speech in her hand.
Nikki is not expecting to make much money from the book that will depend on how well its accepted and sales. But during her speech she explains that she wants to start a drop in centre in London for Anorexia suffers. Somewhere for them to go and talk to volunteers who know what its like, who have beaten or have their anorexia under control, Nikki herself will also be at the centre to talk and help. All the profits made from the book will go towards this worthwhile project.

Cookbook creator says: Sooo Lets tweek this a little more. Use shredded chicken with a lighter dough used for Cornish Pasties.Submitted by CHEF_MEG
Cookbook creator says: I would probably leave out the zuc, since it is not a favorite and cut way way back on the soy sauce since we find it to salty. Add some slivered carrots and green onion. Try it with sweet and sour?Submitted by ASHREIMS

This is low cal and low salt with a healthy helping of veggies. It is easier if you get everything ready before hand. Submitted by BETHST1
This crock pot (slow cooker) chicken stew is wonderful served with whole wheat biscuits. It would also be great with onions in it, but my BF is allergic and can only tolerate a small amount of onion powder. I use whold baby carrots because they are easy, but you can substitute large carrots, peeled & sliced.Submitted by FDOODLES
Great for lunches, picnic, or dinner. Submitted by BETHST1
This is one type of Lumpia (Tagalog for Eggroll-it's a Filipino Eggroll). I prefer using Ground Beef and Ground Pork but you can use the Ground Chicken or Ground Turkey along with the Pork also. I DO NOT COOK MY MEAT AND VEGGIES I prefer to mix them together in a bowl with the seasonings and then roll them in the Lumpia to a somewhat small size then deep fry them. They are more flavorful that way. You can cook it if you want to but it may not come out as well. I also prefer to use Chinese Yard Long Pole Beans cut into small diagonal pieces instead of regular Green Beans. I also use MSG in some of my cooking or otherwise known as Accent. It does help to bring flavors out in your cooking, but, this is optional for anyone else but me. I do not use regular Egg Roll Wraps. I prefer to use Lumpia Wraps(o'tasty spring roll wraps is the commercial name for them in the stores) which are larger and come in crepe thin slices. I also prefer to seal my wrappers with raw egg. It comes out better that way but you can use water-flour paste also. I also prefer to cut my veggies into tiny matchstick pieces. It's better that way in the Lumpia but you can do it anyway you want. For a dipping sauce you can use the Lumpia Sauce recipe below but in mine I turn it into a Sweet and Sour Sauce by making Annatto Water and adding 1/3 cup to the recipe instead of water, and 1/4 c crushed pineapples in juice. You can also mix in bits of bell pepper if you like. This is the Annatto Water recipe aka Achiote Water also: In a small heavy saucepan, heat the water over medium heat. Add the annatto seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the water becomes a rich, orange-red color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the water into a jar, discarding the seeds, and keep covered in the refrigerator. You can do the same thing using Oil to make Annatto Oil. I also prefer to use just the soy sauce and about 1/4 vinegar mixed with fresh, not cooked, garlic and onion diced up and crushed with a bit of black pepper or chili peppers crushed in as a dipping sauce. I also like to use 1/4 Fish Sauce(Patis) mixed with 1/2 Lemon or Lime Juice for dipping also.

Cacophony Society Film Screening a Dead Zone for Alternative Press
You may have never heard of the Cacophony Society, but chances are you've heard of events created by the group or its members, such as SantaCon, Burning Man, and the Urban Idiotarod. Chuck Palahniuk was a member, and the group's antics provided the inspiration for Project Mayhem in his book Fight Club. The society, which was founded in California in the mid 1980s, had a profound cultural impact that went far beyond the local art scene – they still hold SantaCon every year in Tokyo, fer crissakes.
So when this fishie headed down to Santa Ana this past Saturday for the screening of Jon Alloway's new documentary film, Into The Zone: The Story of the Cacophony Society, and corresponding art exhibit, we expected to see the plenty of press covering the event. But no.
We recognized journalists in the crowd, but couldn't find one writing about the show. Shouldn't the local alternative press be all over this, we asked? "My editor couldn't make room in the budget," one journo explained. "What alternative press?" replied another. To date, the L.A. Record appears to be the only publication to give the event a write-up.
To be fair, the LA Weekly and OC Weekly both ran stories prior to the event. But overall, the lack of coverage suggests our local media has some disappointing cultural blind spots.

Welcome to the Palliative Care page
Sometimes when people get ill it is not possible to make them better. Palliative care is about making sure that the end of someone's life is as good as it can be. In Leeds a number of organisations have started working together to try and make sure that people with learning disabilities make plans for the end of their life as we believe that thinking about dying helps you live better. We have worked with people with learning disabilities to help put together resources so that they can plan for the end of their lives. We have put together a document that people can use to help them plan and following on from our work produced information about what a hospice is. We use these resources, along with others, as part of two workshops where people can get a chance to talk about their feelings, share their experiences, make plans and get to visit a hospice. We are developing this work as we run each workshop and learn more but also want to use this page to begin to share some of the resources that we have created in the hope that others might find them useful. We hope you find it useful, please let us know if you have suggestions or comments.

Growing Pains
As cannabis cultivation reaches new highs, The Nature Conservancy act to protect the state's natural resources.
Marijuana cultivation is no longer an underground affair. Nearly half of the country has legalized pot for medicinal purposes, bringing this once-illicit industry into the light. But while California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana 20 years ago, the state is only now putting forward rules to govern how growers produce the controversial crop.
"Unlike other agricultural industries, which have a significant regulatory process to cultivate and sell their crops, cannabis growers have been hiding in the shadows," says Jennifer Carah, freshwater ecologist for The Nature Conservancy's water program."Due to its quasi-legal status, secrecy has been incentivized and has put state agencies at risk of federal punishment for regulating local production. Additionally, California continues to produce huge levels of illegal marijuana that are exported across the country."
Dry Times
Cannabis was already California's largest cash crop even before the state voted to legalize recreational marijuana use. The state's medical marijuana sales hit $2.7 billion in 2015, accounting for nearly half of the legal marijuana purchases in the United States. And the U.S. Department of Justice estimates California produces roughly 60 percent of the illegal marijuana consumed in the United States, a yield worth between $11 billion and $16 billion annually.
But even in California's new medical marijuana regulatory system, only a small portion of growers get basic permits for land and water use. And that has led to some serious environmental problems.
During the height of the growing season, outdoor marijuana cultivation in California consumes roughly 60 million gallons of water a day—50 percent more than is used by all of the residents of San Francisco. Especially in years of severe drought like California has experienced recently, marijuana plantations are draining the life out of some of the state's most sensitive rivers and watersheds.
"Marijuana growers are often tapping small headwater streams directly in the summer, taking water exactly when fish need that water in the stream the most," Carah says. "The California Department of Fish and Wildlife recently found that this type of irrigation can significantly reduce or even eliminate stream flow during California's dry season, particularly during drought years. As cultivation is taking place in some of our most remote, high-conservation-value watersheds, this threatens the survival of endangered salmon, amphibians and other animals that depend on the stream water during that time."
Marijuana farming is also associated with unpermitted forest clear-cutting and road construction, which can increase erosion, destroy habitat and damage streams. Without the proper oversight, cannabis plantations also pollute the environment and poison wildlife through the use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and petroleum fuels.
"Chemicals have made their way into the food chain, and those poisons have posed significant risks to predators like the rare Pacific fisher and northern spotted owl," Carah says.
Hydro Politics
Using scientific research as their foundation, The Nature Conservancy and partners are looking to fill the regulatory gap and protect California's natural resources. The Conservancy influenced the 2015 Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the state's first serious effort to provide a regulatory framework for medical marijuana, addressing cultivation, transport, storage and distribution. And now they are working with government agencies to develop programs to help implement the new standards.
The Conservancy also worked with government and other environmental partners on Senate Bill 837, which was signed by Governor Brown in June 2016. This budget measure gives the California State Water Resources Control Board and the Department of Fish and Wildlife authority to build specific water-use guidelines into grower permits. Permits also include water reporting, monitoring and measuring requirements that will help state agencies and nonprofits better understand and address environmental issues.
"We were able to secure strong environmental provisions and mandates for the state agencies to regulate environmental impacts," says Carah. "Now, to grow medical marijuana legally, growers need to have a water right and a clear water budget that shows where they are getting all of their water for cannabis cultivation. They need to get the necessary permits. So that was a huge win."
The Nature Conservancy also played a large role in getting environmental protections added to Proposition 64, the recreational marijuana proposal on California ballots this year. The Conservancy helped make sure the bill would provide funding to prevent environmental damage and clean up past damages from marijuana production.
"We estimate that Prop 64 could generate more than $200 million each year for environmental regulation, remediation and restoration if the act is fully implemented," Carah says.
Rolling out these new regulations is helping to bring marijuana in line with the rest of the state's agricultural sector and recognize the specific environmental damages posed by marijuana production, according to Jay Ziegler, director of external affairs and policy for The Conservancy. "This is a unique industry that is still coming out of the shadows. We need to reach a point where we bring growers along to recognize environmental regulations and wider health and safety requirements. We also need adequate resources for law enforcement to crack down on those outside the system and ensure resources are available to environmental regulation and restoration to make this work."

Uttarakhand High Court has sent a notice to Chief Minister Harish Rawat's advisor on a petition of former Congress MLA Rekha Arya alleging threat to her life and that of her husband from Rawat and others.
A division bench of the high court comprising justices KM Joseph and Alok Singh sent the notice to the CM's media advisor Surendra Kumar yesterday asking him to file his response within two weeks.
In her writ petition, Arya had made a plea for security for herself and her husband citing threat to their lives from the CM and others.
Formerly a Congress MLA from Jageshwar, Arya had cross voted against Harish Rawat during the floor test in the state Assembly and subsequently joined the BJP prompting Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal to disqualify her under the anti- defection law.
