Santa Cruz Otis Taylor Chicago
The Santa Cruz signature model for bluesman Otis Taylor is all about mahogany.
by Teja Gerken
February 09, 2017
Blues guitarist Otis Taylor and the Santa Cruz Guitar Company have a long history of working together. Several years ago, Santa Cruz introduced its first Otis Taylor signature model, a guitar based on its H model (which in turn takes inspiration from vintage Gibson Nick Lucas guitars), and now the company is offering a second model, the Otis Taylor Chicago.
While the original Otis Taylor model is built with rosewood back and sides and a spruce top, the Chicago has an all-mahogany body, similar to the construction of Santa Cruz' 1929 series guitars. Like the first Otis Taylor, the Chicago has a 13th-fret neck joint and is only fretted up to the 14th fret. The fingerboard extension over the body has just the one fret, but sports an inlay with Otis Taylor's logo.
The Santa Cruz Otis Taylor Chicago is a great sounding guitar with a bluesy growl, but also a versatile voice that would work well in a variety of styles. It is demonstrated here played fingerstyle in standard and D A D G A D tunings by Peghead Nation Co-Founder and Producer Teja Gerken and played with a flatpick by Peghead Nation Co-Founder and Editor Scott Nygaard.
SPECS: H body with 13-fret neck. Solid mahogany top, back, sides. Mahogany neck. Ebony fingerboard and bridge. 25.325-inch scale. 1¾-inch nut width. Vintage-style open-back Gotoh tuning machines. Made in USA. santacruzguitar.com.

Looking at getting a set of speakers for my pc. Currently using my stereo which, unfortunately, is on it's last legs.
The above is the set I have got my eye on however I've never brought/kept up-to-date on the whole PC speaker market.
I could splash out on 5.1/7.1 but at the moment I can't see the benifits, not for me anyhow... (at current prices).
I first looked at the Abit iDome D500 but the pricetag was rather high for just a 2.1 system.
Reviews I have found on the above Logitech speakers are good but they were written back in 2004!!!
Ahh yes, what I'll be using it for. Mainly music and watching DVDs (not yet decided on venturing into Blu-ray/HD-DVD arena yet).
Oh and it'll be using the onboard sound (gah...I should buy a dedicated sound card...) on the FP-IN9 SLi (yes I know I shouldn't have been a scrooge and got the IP35 Pro ).
So basically, just any scare stories or warnings (such as wires provided are STUPIDLY short, EM interefence etc.), better recommendations (perhaps the pros for jumping into the 5.1/7.1 arena), or concurrence that this is a good buy.
PS I was (and suppose still am) a bass junkie/audiophile (in terms of low-end quality and not sheer volume, though alot of volume doesn't hurt )
Thanks in advance

March 29 — To the Editor:
Maintaining New Hampshire's roads and bridges should be the responsibility of those who use them. Gas taxes, toll roads or registration fees are all standard ways to pay for our highway department. Stealing $50.8 million from the dedicated renewable energy fund and millions more from the University of New Hampshire is not responsible nor is stealing from municipalities' share of the gas tax.
House Finance Committee Chairman Neal Kurk tried to get the House to pass a 7 to 8 cent increase in the gas tax, but was blocked by the Tea Party wing of his own party. They believe it better to drive away our youth through an ever higher state college tuition and increase the heating and electricity bills for everyone.
The Concord Monitor wrote "The renewable energy fund gives financial incentives to residents and businesses that install renewable energy technology such as solar panels or wood pellet boilers. Utilities pay into the fund if they don't buy a required number of renewable energy credits." Electricity and heating bills jumped this year due to a shortage of natural gas. Each person who installs a solar panel or wood pellet boiler reduces the demand for electricity and natural gas. Stealing from this fund to avoid increasing the gas tax simply adds a hidden tax to your utility bills.
Last year we were paying $1.80 a gallon more for gasoline than we are today. That was $1.80 we were sending out of state. Certainly we can afford to pay 8 cents more a gallon to produce jobs within our state and repair our roads and bridges.

Granulocyte Immunobiology
enable collaborations in granulocyte immunobiology by bringing together members working in a (diagnostic) laboratory, research and/or clinical setting
Neutrophils are part of the granulocyte family and play an important role in innate immunity. Neutrophils or polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) make up the largest proportion of circulating leukocytes. Patients with low PMN counts (neutropenia) or functional defects in PMN are more likely to be overwhelmed by infection. Granulocyte-reactive antibodies have been shown to play a key role in the pathophysiology of several immune-mediated neutropenias, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), auto-immune neutropenia after bone marrow transplantation and febrile transfusion reactions. Post-transfusion, in TRALI, the donor-derived antibodies can cause inappropriate activation of neutrophils leading to damage of the pulmonary microvasculature with severe clinical consequences. Thus, these disorders demand rapid and precise diagnosis using reliable neutrophil serology.
We encourage and support new and emerging granulocyte laboratories through education and organisation of practical workshop-like sessions. We provide access to like-minded colleagues active in (diagnostic) laboratory, research and/or clinical settings in all aspects of granulocyte immunobiology. We discuss standards for serology diagnostics and are involved in education and training programmes for new laboratories. Our WP supports scientific co-operation between our members and organises meetings. We establish and monitor nomenclature for human neutrophil alloantigens (HNA). Moreover, we develop standards for laboratory diagnostics of TRALI and compatibility testing of granulocyte concentrates, detection of anti-granulocyte antibodies, -antigens and we characterise granulocyte antibody-mediated disorders. We support and promote the HNA nomenclature subcommittee.
Our Chairperson is Behnaz Bayat.
We meet at the ISBT congresses and organise International educational Workshops every other year. Also, we regularly organise the exchange of typing sera and typed DNA.
Joining the WP
Membership is open to all ISBT members actively working in a (diagnostic) laboratory, research, clinical setting and/or pharmaceutical company of the field of Granulocyte Immunobiology.

Hi guys, hope your weekend is off to a good start. I see that you guys really liked the little dress I wore on this post. So with that in mind, I wanted to put together a few summer looks with dresses for different occasions.
This little number by Kate Spade Saturday is a stunner, the print and the cut are perfection. When going out I like bags that are easy to carry and this one by Henri Bendel is called "wallet on a string". Loeffler Randall's pre-fall shoes are sublime and these black scalloped sandals are the epitome of pretty. Add these Lulu Frost's Earrings and Bracelet to complete this showstopping look.
During the Summer months, the heat can be unbearable so an open back dress in more than welcome in my wardrobe. Finish it of with gladiator sandals, this woven bag, I always keep the jewels to a minimum because of the humidity. And I never forget my big shades to hide my melting face.
For work it is a little trickier as you don't want to show too much skin, but this linen dress by J.Crew is IT, the cap sleeve and knee length are perfect for a professional environment. Pair it up with these fierce pumps (how cute is the print mix in these Leoffler Randall's). A large tote to carry laptops, iPads or even a clutch if you have dinner plans after work. Keep the jewels to a minimum and wear this cute earrings and statement bracelet.
Living in South Florida and being from the Caribbean I know that my style can be a tad colorful & daring, but often all want is a no fuss shirt dress and this Emerson Fry dress fits the bill. It is a bit more conservative and can be dressed up with these Tory Burch sandals and Henri Bendel's bag (Seriously these two brands latest arrivals are ridic…). Or dressed down with this tote and cute jeweled sandals.
Hope you enjoy this type of post and if you have a particular item you would like me to style feel free to shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for reading.

Now Renee, there's a deadly Hurricane if I ever heard one. Renees are nasty, bitter, and French. Just the sort of people who would send the residents of Texas running for the nearest border. The kind of bitches who will tear a state to shreds and then glide away leaving everyone else to clean up after them. I propose that this hurricane be renamed Renee, or something else at least mildly intimidating.
The fact of the matter is that hurricane naming has a profound effect on how many people evacuate and how many stay. I think that we should start naming hurricanes in accordance to their power, leaving the sinister names for the category 5s and 4s, and 'soft' names like Rita for the tropical storms. What manly man is going to flee Hurricane Rita? You might as well call it Hurricane Cecil, or Hurricane Fauntleroy. In fact I think we can do away with the alphabetical order and gender rules altogether and just go with what sounds nastiest.
So a tropical storm would be Rita or Pete.
A class 3 might be a Charlotte or a Manny.
And a class 5 hurricane? Maximum destruction? Untold of catastrophe? We could call that a George, a Dick, or a Condoleeza.
I know I'd be scared.

This volume explores corporate governance from three perspectives: a traditional economic, a philosophical, and an integrated business ethics perspective. Corporate governance has enjoyed a long tradition in the English-speaking world of management sciences. Following its traditional understanding it is defined as leadership and control of a firm with the aim of securing the long-term survival and viability of that firm. But recent business scandals and financial crises continue to provide ample cause for concern and have all fuelled interest in the ethical aspects. As a result, corporate governance has been criticized by many social groups. Economic sciences have failed to provide a clear definition of the corporate governance concept. Complexity increases if we embed the economic approach of corporate governance in a philosophical context. This book seeks to define the concept by examining its economic, philosophical and business ethics foundations.

There were six games on the docket for day three of E-Box. All six of the games were won by a margin of victory of at least four. We also saw a few big blowouts as well. While the scoreline may not reflect it, there was a lot of great play in just about every game today.
After today's games, Canada U-20, Netherlands, Israel, and Ireland are the only teams that have yet to lose a game this weekend.
Switzerland 11, Scotland 7
It what was the closest game of the day in terms of final score, Switzerland was able to take down Scotland. While Scotland was able to comeback a bit, Switzerland's success early on was too much to overcome. Switzerland got out to a 5-2 lead at the end of the first and pushed it to an 8-3 lead at the end of the second. Scotland started to pick up the pace late in the game, but Switzerland wouldn't be stopped as they walked away 11-7 victors in this one.
Lukas Heri helped lead Switzerland on offense, scoring four goals in the win. For Scotland, Ian Vickars had four goals to help lead the way. Dylan Cowman made 35 saves for Scotland while Alexander Meier made 14 saves as the starter for Switzerland. Playing the second half of the game, Kevin Stauffer made 16 saves for Scotland as well.
Canada U-20 19, Germany 7
As expected, Canada U-20 secured another dominating win as they took down Germany by a score of 19-7. While things were more back-and-forth early on, Canada U-20 soon exploded as they took a 6-3 lead at the end of the first. They continued to dominate in all facets of the game as they took a 9-4 lead at the end of the second and then led 14-6 at the end of the third. Canada U-20 walked away victorious as they captured their third win of the tournament.
Tanner Buck helped lead Canada U-20, scoring five goals in the win. Germany was led by Gustav Weber and Marc Brandenburger who each had two goals on the day. In goal for Germany, Tilo Fuchs started and made 24 saves while just playing in the first half. Brody Harris made 12 saves as the starter for Canada U-20, playing just the first half.
Ireland 14, Austria 8
In a game of runs Ireland was able to come out on top as they took over late in the second and through the third quarter to help lift themselves to victory. It started as a back-and-forth game before Austria went on a run to take the 4-2 lead heading into the second. From there on out Ireland took over as they used a few big runs to get ahead and eventually secure the win.
Ireland was led by Brendan Boyle who scored four goals in the win. Austria was led by Kraus Hauer who had three goals on the day. Sean Murphy made 18 saves as he got the start for Ireland, playing in the first and third quarters. Austria played three goalies with Patrick Falb leading the way, making 11 saves while playing in just the third.
Netherlands 18, Hong Kong 11
This was a pretty one sided affair for most of the game. Netherlands started off hot out of the gate and would continue all game. After trailing 13-5 after the first two quarters, Hong Kong was able to put together a pretty good run in the third quarter. That would be the best they could do in this one as Netherlands soon got back on track and finished it off with the 18-11 victory.
Ross Parson led Netherlands as he scored seven goals in the win. For Hong Kong, Geoffrey Ling led the way with three goals in the game. Playing the second half, Andrew Gallant made 15 saves for Netherlands while Wilson Wong and Ernie Choy each made 7 saves for Hong Kong.
Israel 17, England 9
A dominating first half of play for Israel helped them get ahead and eventually secure the 17-9 win in dominating fashion. While England was able to get something going late in the game, it was too late and the deficit was too big. Israel was just the better team today as they seemed to dominate in every facet of the game.
Utting Douglas helped lead Israel as he had four goals in the win. Sam Clare led England with four goals. In goal, Jerryd Jensen made 32 saves for Israel while Eliot Pugh made 39 saves for England.
Sweden 13, Norway 7
In a nordic battle, Sweden was able to over come a strong start from Norway and secure the win with a big second quarter performance. While Sweden led 9-5 at the end of the second Norway was able to get at least a little offense going again in the third. The fourth was very defensive heavy as Norway scored the only goal of the quarter to make it a 13-7 win.
Sweden was led by Charlie Lesage who had five goals in the win while Sondre Glimsdal led Norway with three goals in the game.

Selena Gomez says in the teaser: "does your ***** work?"
Here's a preview where Selena Gomez asks: "does your ***** work?"
David Letterman's "Late Show" producer Rob Burnett landed a reported $7 million deal with Netflix for "The Fundamentals of Caring" which stars Gomez, Paul Rudd and Craig Roberts. A new clip from the series which debuts June 24 shows the three interacting at an awkward breakfast, which produces the head-tilting line from Gomez.
The synopsis via EW:
In the movie, Rudd plays Ben, who becomes a caregiver to earn money after suffering a personal tragedy. His first client is Roberts' Trevor, a witty 18-year-old relegated to a motorized wheelchair because of his muscular dystrophy. When the two go on a little road trip through the western part of the U.S., they meet people along the way — including Gomez playing a runaway and sassy (and romantic) counterpart to Trevor — who "test their skills for surviving outside their calculated existence," teaching them the value of hope and friendship.
Thoughts? Let us know in Exhale.

Well it seems that the challenge will not be an official thing through Lyrical Press. That is fine by me because I still plan on writing the story and submitting it by October. 🙂 The challenge was given in good fun and I plan on keeping with the spirit of it. I would say the challenge is a sucess because it got me thinking of a way to bring a bunch of genres together. I just hope I can do it justice. lol I'll try to keep you updated on my progress. This story might go a little slow because I'm still working on my other one. 🙂

If yesterday was "trying to breathe" then today is definitely "hyperventilating".
Yeah. That's is my husband's new car in the picture. The one that I was driving to the conference. I hit a pole as I pulled out to come home. Mostly drive-able but somewhat banged up.
I am the car.
My one-on-one appointments didn't go as well as I had dreamed them in my mind. I knew that was likely to happen, but it didn't make the dream less desirable, thus less painful to part with.
I fought back tears now and then in the following few hours. There was more learning to do so the emotions would have to wait. I am not sure my emotions are used to waiting.
But by the end of the night I thought I had moved passed it. The agent I pitched to during the social time who asked me to send all of what I had (when the revisions I told her about are done) helped a bit for sure.
Then I hit the pole. A four-letter word may or may not have passed my lips. As I drove home I battled myself just like I did in the era my book is about. Because of the plot seminar I took today I can now articulate the "faulty belief" I held in those days. Love is earned.
And ever since my one-on-one's that didn't go how I dreamed, I struggled with a feeling that I had not earned the right to be loved by my husband (who sacrificed time, money, and a weekend as a single parent for me to be there).
I know this isn't true. In my head, anyway. It was just hard to convince the rest of me. Especially after that pole.
Love is a gift…….a gift of grace.
My husband does not love me because I make his life easier or better or more comfortable. He doesn't love me because I am such a wonderful wife and avoid poles when I drive the car.
I was just so frustrated that I was dealing with this old issue. No matter how my husband might respond (because let's give him some grace and remember he is a human husband and doesn't love to spend a long hard day with the kids just to have his wife come home with a banged up car) I want my reaction to be one of a person who knows that love is not earned.
But like the car, even though there were some hits today, all is not lost. I certainly have made some wonderful friends and connections at this conference. My understanding of the book I am writing and the audience I am writing it for is clarified. I have WAY more tools to practice to become a better writer. And after moving through some emotions and lots of Kleenex, I remember that love is a gift of grace, impossible to earn.

The best part about the SAT is taking a day-long test and then coming in the next morning to take the Workkeys–NOT. According to the official ACT website, the Workkeys are "assessments measuring fundamental skills required for success in the workplace." But if you ask a student at HFII, they'll tell you it's a big waste of time.
On April 10, the entire junior class came into school the morning after the SAT to take the Workkeys, an ACT-sponsored assessment consisting of three sections focusing on workplace readiness. The test took the entire morning to complete with a few breaks. So what is the issue with the Workkeys? Not only is the test an insult to the intelligence of students with its insanely easy content, it is also too long and unnecessary considering the test isn't needed or looked at by colleges and future jobs.
Walking into the assessment, juniors are told horror stories about the simplicity and galling nature of it, but none of the anecdotes will prepare for the utter torture of the Workkeys. The test is divided up into three sections: applied math, graphic literacy and workplace documents (each taking 55 minutes). After taking the gruelling SAT the day before, juniors are astounded at just how basic the questions are.
Whether asking students to simply read an email and cite the document word for word or having the student solve elementary school level math problems, the Workkeys exhausted and irritated a group of stressed-out teen who have had enough of standardized testing. With under 40 common sense answers in 55 minutes, heads were on the desks snoozing before the section's halfway mark. One junior shared that in their Workkeys testing classroom, 12 people were asleep with 10 minutes remaining in one section.
So why are students forced to take this seemingly pointless test? Michigan pays $4 million dollars every year administering the test across the state. There are only 4 states–including michigan–in the US that require and pay for it to be administered. Most colleges in the country don't even look for Workkeys test scores considering only a small fraction of high school students actually take the test.
As unfortunate as it may be for the upcoming juniors, it doesn't look like the Workkeys is going anywhere for now. There may be some hope though. The test has been highlighted in the media recently over the insulting nature of the questions and precious class time wasted while taking it. Students and teachers alike have expressed their complaints and look toward lawmakers for answers.
Recently, the State House Education Reform committee met to evaluate the importance of the assessment. After hearing testimony from teachers, students, lawmakers and representatives from the ACT, there was no formal conclusion reached about the future of the Workkeys in the state of Michigan. A new Workkeys house bill is being proposed by Michigan House Representative John Reilly that would make the Workkeys test optional for school districts.
Future generations can jump for joy over dodging the bullet of the Workkeys, but for now students will have to suffer through the insult to their intelligence. A bit of advice for the incoming juniors: bring a pillow.

I refer to the owner as the 'leader'.
The key objective of business leaders is to create an asset of value, which will sustain them while they are working in their businesses and beyond. Leaders, therefore, have the most profound effect on a business and, of course, the other touch-points as previously discussed.
Leaders, either as a sole person or in a partnership, stand to lose the most should the business fail, and they should stand to gain the most if it succeeds. Risk should be rewarded.
As a leader, the most important duty is to separate your personal goals from those of the business. An old, but important saying is, 'work on the business'. That does not mean that owners must divorce themselves from working in the business. A business owner must be part of the leadership team to set clear goals for the business and initiate plans to achieve those goals. When working in the business, treat yourself as an employee and pay yourself your worth. More importantly, put systems in place to measure and achieve those goals so that the business is sustainable in the absence of you, the leader.

New Social Security
Secretary of Social Security, Leonardo Rolim, participated in a public hearing on the issue on Wednesday (29) in the Chamber of Deputies
The Social Security Secretary of the Ministry of Economy, Leonardo Rolim, said on Wednesday (29) that the proposal to create the capitalization system, within the New Pension Plan, guarantees the principles of taxation and solidarity provided for in the Federal Constitution, the guarantee of the floor of a minimum salary for retirement. The statement was made at the 12th public hearing of the Special Committee on the Proposal for Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) 06/2019, which deals with New Social Security, which had as its central theme the capitalization regime and actuarial valuation. Rolim emphasized, however, that PEC 06/2019 is not creating a new system. "The proposal is authorizing a supplementary law, in the future, after the approval of the PEC, to create the capitalization system, with defined rules and studies for the implementation of such an important system for Brazil. It would be irresponsible, in the context of the discussion of a New Pension Plan, with parametric and structural changes in the Social Security System, if we were already discussing, at the same moment, the implementation of a capitalization system, "he said.
According to Rolim, the opening to capitalization brings important advantages for both the citizen and the country. "It is a fairer and more equitable system, with greater profitability potential, more transparent and that will protect the worker with unscheduled benefits. For the country, we will have a greater internal savings and a sustainable social security system, which we do not have today, and we will be able to grow in the coming years in a much more sustainable way than in recent years, "he said.
New Private Pension provides for the option of capitalization only for those who are still entering the labor market after the new rules are approved, not for workers already in it. "And even those who are going to enter can choose to stay in the current system of simple allocation or go to the new hybrid system, with a mandatory capitalization part," Rolim said. He also stressed that all pension rights of the current system will be guaranteed in the new system.
Another premise of the government proposal is the free choice, by the employee, of the entity or modality of reserve management, with portability. It is also foreseen that the management of reserves will be carried out by public and private pension entities, authorized by a regulatory body, ensuring wide transparency. "The proposed model is a broad competition, including non-profit entities and public participation, such as the National Institute of Health and Safety and Social Security (INSS)," said the secretary.
Experience - Leonardo Rolim also highlighted that Brazil already has real examples of the implementation of the mandatory capitalization regime. "The municipality of Barueri [SP] created in 2006 a system fully capitalized in defined benefits, with a server rate of 11% and employer of 19%, with an actuarial surplus of R $ 221 thousand and capitalized R $ 1.9 billion. Another example comes from the state of Espírito Santo, where a third of the servers are already in the capitalized surplus system at R $ 920 million and with R $ 4 billion capitalized. Most of the resources, about 90%, are applied in Brazil, "noted the secretary.
Several countries with better pension performance, such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Finland, have a hybrid system model, with a mandatory capitalization layer and an optional one. "In general terms, our model is a tiered scheme, with the non-contributory system as the first pillar and then the notional allocation and financial capitalization, together with the solidarity fund to guarantee the minimum wage, preserving the principle of solidarity of the system. We also maintain the logic of complementary pension, "said Leonardo Rolim.

Recently some researchers have detected a whole family of malware apps in the Google play market. The name of the virus is 'Godless' and is even said to have the ability to root about 90% of all the android phones.
As the information say, the famous antivirus provider Trend Micro has confirmed that about 4 lakh mobile phones In India already might have been affected by the virus.
The antivirus company has further described the virus as a malware which contains a huge collection of rooting exploits which can work practically against any android operating system which runs on android 5.1 and earlier and can root the software completely.
Google Play isn't the only app store which contains the Godless virus so how to remain safe?
Download only the highly certified apps from the store and also the installation of a good company antivirus is suggested. Moreover, downloading apps and media from a non-trusted source can also harm your android phone vastly.
As the reports further say, the Godless virus is currently installed on 850,000 devices worldwide and the countries which have been affected most by this virus are USA, India, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Call to Action – April 22, 2019
Tomorrow – April 23, 2019, 11:30 a.m., Skagit County Commissioners Meeting
Attend and speak at the Skagit County Commissioners Meeting at 1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. Each speaker gets two to three minutes. Handouts or written comments can be submitted. For tips to prepare:
Public comment every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.
If you can't make it this week, public comment is every Tuesday at 11:30 am. What do you think the commissioners care about? Jobs? Economy? Environment? Road Safety? Noise disturbance? Property Rights? Bring your perspective directly to the Commissioners.
Comment Countdown – 21 Days Remain – 100 year decision!
Don't fret, your comments can be brief and still make an impact. Pick key topics that matter to you and go for it! If you commented in the first round (ending March 29) you may need to comment again to gain standing. To do so, click "Comment Here" on the Skagit County's comment page for the quarry (see link below) to be a "party of record." If you choose not to be a party of record, you will not be able to speak at the future public hearing.
Future generations will live in the reality of decisions made today for this 100-yr permit proposal. THANK YOU – our group has done amazing outreach! Please get your comments in and inform others of Kiewit's proposal before the deadline of May 13th 4:30 pm.
SEPA – State Environmental Policy Act
Urging the County to make a "threshold determination of significance" and require an environmental impact statement (EIS) under the SEPA should be key in our comments and we can also urge the County to reject the permit outright because, given magnitude, longevity, and complexity, no amount of permit stipulations or mitigation could make this right.
We are fortunate to live in a state that recognizes the rights of nature. "The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) may be the most powerful legal tool for protecting the environment of the state. Among other things, the law requires all state and local governments within the state to:
* 'Utilize a systematic, interdisciplinary approach which will insure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and indecision making which may have an impact on man's environment;' and
* Ensure that '…environmental amenities and values will be given appropriate consideration in decision making along with economic and technical considerations….'"
In the case of the Marblemount Quarry Proposal, Skagit County has authority for issuing various permits (same as a license) for the landowners of the associated private properties in order for the project to proceed. This decision is the "agency action" and the reason Skagit County is the "SEPA lead agency", which means they are responsible for following the process and rules (which are mandated by state law). They are also responsible for preparing SEPA documentation (including content) and issuing decisions.
Educate yourself about SEPA and you will be better equipped to make comments that influence the process. For more guidance and information:
Kids against the quarry radio broadcast will debut on KSVU 90.1 April 27th at 8:30 am and 9:30 pm. Listen in for the young voices deeply committed to the place they live.
Skagit River Alliance (SRA) is incorporated and in the process of further development. Our first focus is to stop the Marblemount quarry with a lasting vision of advocacy for the Skagit Watershed and communities. Board member assignments from last week's Steering Committee meeting were temporary. An election for more lasting board member positions will be discussed in the next Steering Committee meeting. To contact Steering Committee please write a new email with your topic listed in the subject heading to: email@example.com.
We need volunteers for PR and fundraising committees. To fill out the survey about your desired level of involvement, add to the comment repository, or get involved in a support group, contact the email address above and ask for a link.
Help us track groups and agencies contacted who want to network. We encourage reaching out to neighbors, hiking, biking, climbing and camping clubs, raft companies, and other businesses that would be affected by the massive scale of disturbance, traffic, and potential environmental impacts for the next 100 years. Encourage them to comment.
We will publish "Calls to Action" on this web page dedicated to STOP THE MARBLEMOUNT QUARRY! Please visit us here at skagitneighbors.com.1 comment

Post cyclone support close to home
Published on Mr Richard Mihaich (author)
Location(s): Hideaway Bay
Topic(s): Operations, HMAS Melville (A246), Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (HADR)
For Chief Petty Officer Naval Police Coxswain Simon Smith, the welcome Australian Defence personnel received from communities in the wake of Cyclone Debbie was what made the job worthwhile.
"It's a reminder of why we do what we do," he said.
During recent force assignment to Operation QUEENSLAND ASSIST, he and the rest of the team on hydrographic ship HMAS Melville were tasked with conducting assessments of the usability of Bowen Harbour and clearing other boat landings in the surrounding areas.
Able Seaman Marine Technician Ian Hines was in Melville's rigid hull inflatable boat for assessments of Dingo and Hide Away Beaches, about 45 kilometres South of Bowen.
These areas were high on his personal priorities as his father, Andrew, a local resident of Hide Away Beach, had recently had heart surgery and was at his home when the cyclone tore through the two small communities.
Because of the loss of phone reception, Able Seaman Hines had not spoken to his father since two days before Cyclone Debbie hit.
His concerns for his family were soon allayed as the ship's boat was greeted by Able Seaman Hines' sister Melanie, who is pregnant and was with their father and father's partner Michele during the storm.
They were trapped in Mr Hines's home for more than 30 hours as they listened to roof iron flying and trees snapping all around them.
At one stage Mr Hines had to use his body to brace a wall, which contained a large window, to stop it blowing in.
Despite the fact Able Seaman Hines was able to spend less than an hour with his family, as he had to continue with his tasking, his father was extremely grateful.
"Thank you for letting my boy come and see me, and please pass on my thanks to your Captain and all the other members of the Defence Force who have helped cleaning up after Debbie," Mr Hines said.

The authorities in Munich carried out a fresh round of deportations of Afghan nationals on Tuesday night. Although Germany's Foreign Office has not submitted a new security assessment for Afghanistan, the deportations are allowed to proceed in the meantime.
The security assessment is at the heart of the controversy over Afghan deportations in Germany, with opponents arguing that the country is still not safe for returnees, DW reported.
The Afghans were sent back to their homeland aboard a German plane. Although the original list contained 58 individuals, only 14 ultimately flew back. Among them, according to information released by the Interior Ministry on its website, there were six people who had been deemed criminals, three identity thieves, and one dangerous individual.
The Bavarian interior minister, Joachim Hermann, said that "dangerous people, criminals, and identity thieves represent clear security problems in our country." Moreover, authorities are hoping that the deportations send "a signal that the rule of law is being applied."
In 2017, Bavaria carried out the deportation of 3,282 people. In particular, of the 121 Afghans that have been deported in Germany, 56 were from Bavaria.
Many people in Germany oppose the deportations because of the current human rights and security situation of Afghanistan, which they say is still too dangerous. A recent UN report puts the figure of civilians killed in 2017 at 10,000.
Still, the government insists that only people with criminal backgrounds are being deported and that in the end, their main responsibility is to protect their citizens from danger.

Back in the Groove Local acts like the Wednesday Night Big Band
are once again taking the stage at the Big Easy
When Amber Driscoll and her partner Roger Tschann opened the Big Easy five years ago in downtown Petaluma, they envisioned the underground space as a vibrant music venue.
Located in a former sensuality shop on American Alley near Driscoll and Tschann's small-plate restaurant, Speakeasy, the Big Easy became a lively destination in the town's cultural scene for visitors and locals alike, offering live jazz, folk, rock and other music four to five nights a week for little or no cover charge.
In addition to hosting local bands and musicians, the Big Easy is also a popular destination for North Bay charity events, fundraisers, weddings and other private events.
Last fall, the music at the Big Easy was silenced when city inspections lead to permitting problems.
"I'm chalking it up to bad luck, really," says Driscoll. Following an initial inspection by the fire department in late October, which resulted in some minimal retrofitting requests, re-inspections suddenly incorporated over a dozen city officials in departments like building and planning, wastewater and health, triggering a closure of the venue.
"I tried to fight [closing the venue], but wanted to play along because I thought it would be pretty quick," says Driscoll. "But they kept coming at us with new lists."
After several back-and-forth attempts to resolve permitting and construction issues, Driscoll made a plea to the Petaluma city council and the public to support their efforts to get back open.
Soon, Driscoll found an advocate in Petaluma Economic Development manager Ingrid Alverde; an online crowdfunding campaign raised nearly $10,000 for construction costs.
"It was a crazy learning experience," says Driscoll. "But the good thing is that I think the community, having had this venue taken away, realized how much they missed us."
The Big Easy came out the other side of the ordeal and reopened April 3. Currently, the club is hosting bands on Wednesday through Saturday, with local acts like the Incubators, Citizen Flannel and the Wednesday Night Big Band taking the stage this week.
"The community really wants this space," says Driscoll. "It's a good reminder for everyone that this town values art and entertainment."

Motorhead - Bad Magic (2015) FLAC (tracks + .cue) Hi-Res

Tags: Heavy Metal Hard Rock Motorhead 2015 flac downloading
Added: 3-07-2018, 22:15
Artist: Motorhead | Album: Bad Magic | Released: 2015 | Label: UDR GmbH | Catalog # UDR 057P18 | Genre: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock | Country: UK | Duration: 00:42:48
A lot happened to Motörhead -- or more accurately to Motörhead's once and future leader, Lemmy Kilmister -- after the release of 2013's Aftershock, and most of it wasn't good. Lemmy, who along with Keith Richards seemed to be the rocker most likely to survive Armageddon (and why hasn't someone written a comedy where those two chat while foraging for liquor and cigarettes in the wake of World War III?), was abruptly revealed as all too mortal as he found himself struggling with heart trouble, diabetes, and other maladies, and more than a few fans blanched when they saw the widely circulated online video of a weakened Lemmy pacing off stage at the 2013 Wacken Open Air Festival, too frail to complete Motörhead's set. 2015's XXX: Bad Magic was the first Motörhead album after Lemmy cut back on liquor and tobacco (and had a defibrillator implanted), and returned to the road, and the truth is the mighty frontman sounds older and weaker for the ordeal. That said, it doesn't hurt as much as you might imagine; on XXX: Bad Magic, Lemmy sounds bloodied but unbowed, an ancient soldier who doesn't know the meaning of surrender and will happily run you through with a sword as he draws his last breath. If Lemmy croaks or wheezes more often on XXX: Bad Magic than he has before, it suits his tales of foul-minded bastards and their despicable deeds, and it's a fine fit with the bloody-minded attitude that has always been Motörhead's stock in trade. Just as importantly, Lemmy's bass work remains thunderous, as thick and dirty as it was in his salad days, and guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee continue to bring the noise in inspired fashion. Musically, this album brings very little that's new to the group's playbook, but they still sound like Motörhead, something thousands of younger and more agile bands simply cannot do, and if you're wondering if Motörhead can still kick your butt and blow out your speakers in 2015, the answers are "Hell yeah" and "You know it." And if the cover of "Sympathy for the Devil" seems an odd way to end this album, if anyone in metal can sound truly convincing as Old Scratch and oddly charming in his pursuit of evil, Lemmy's in the running, and XXX: Bad Magic suggests the man and his band might just be indestructible after all.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Dawson Netz, Maranatha, Senior
Baseball experts have said the most competitive portion of land on a baseball diamond is the 60-feet, 6-inches that separates the pitching rubber to home plate. It's a one-on-one mental battle between the pitcher and the hitter. There is no gray area when it comes to these confrontations.
For Maranatha's Dawson Netz, the 2019 Pasadena Star-News Baseball Player of the Year, the evidence was clear that he won more than his fair share of battles throughout the season and established himself as the premier baseball player in the area.
That says a lot in a season where several pitchers complied better records that Netz (6-3).
Netz had the lowest ERA of any pitcher in the area (0.44) and struck out the most hitters (99). And he accomplished those feats while facing fewer batters than he did in in 2018.
The evidence was pretty clear that Netz owned baseball's sacred ground and secured his status as the gold standard of pitchers in the area.
"I just wanted to have fun with my team and enjoy my final high school year with my teammates," said Netz, who was also named the Olympic League most valuable player. "I just trusted that everything was going to take care of itself. All I needed to do was do the same thing that I have done for the last three years that has helped me get to this point."
In preparation for this season, Netz developed several off-speed pitches to complement his fastball, which has been clocked in the low 90's.
"I just experimented with different pitches over the offseason," Netz said. "Just putting it together allowed me to add a few more pitches to my arsenal. It was one of the highlights that helped me propel my game this season."
Netz, who has signed with the University of Arizona, was also quick to praise his high school coach, Matt Shupper.
"He is one of the best coaches that I've ever had," Netz said. "He's helped me grow in ways that I never thought I could. Having a coach with the support system that he has and with all the freedom that he gave us, having our voice in the program, was special, and I'm going to treasure it."
COACH OF THE YEAR: Matt Whisenant, La Canada High School
It wasn't that long ago that the La Canada baseball program was languishing near the bottom of the Rio Hondo League standings.
Between the years of 2011 to 2016, the Spartans produced only one winning season. Athletic Director Kristina Kalb decided to make a change at the end of the 2016 season, and she had one person in mind for the job, alum Matt Whisenant.
"I never thought this job would ever come around the corner," Whisenant said about the decision to return to La Canada. "When it did, there was some time to think about it and to make the most rational decision. It came back to me saying, 'I would love to come here and make a difference.'"
Whisenant clearly has made a difference in the three seasons he has been at the helm of the baseball program. His teams have won two Rio Hondo League championships and made school history this season. The Spartans, who went 22-8 overall, made their first appearance in a CIF-Southern Section baseball championship game, where they lost to Great Oak.
For his accomplishments, Whisenant has been named the 2019 Pasadena Star-News Baseball Coach of the Year.
"This entire year the kids did an incredible job," Whisenant said. "They've been doing this since August, and I couldn't be prouder of the players and the seniors that have set the standard here …"

The narrative was clear in 2019 – it was "The Year of the Pitcher" in the area. Never before has the area seen as many quality pitchers as it did this season.
La Canada's Ryan Graves (8-3, 1.89), a San Jose State signee, was the Rio Hondo League player of the year. He was at the forefront of the turnaround of the Spartans. His teammate, Connor Buchanan (3-0, 0.76, 5 saves), a USC-signee, was used primarily as a closer, but he also contributed as a much-needed starter in the program's historic postseason run.
Alhambra's Victor De Leon (6-1, 2.33) was the Almont League co-pitcher of the year. Arcadia's Preston Howey (13-1, 0.75) was the biggest surprise of the season in the area. The Pacific League pitcher of the year had some of the best numbers in the area. Teammate Chris Wilson (10-1, 0.99) was equally impressive, not yielding an earned run in the final 18⅓ innings he worked.
There was also Muir's Brian Love, who led the Mustangs back to resurgence and finished 10-5 with a 2.57 ERA.
Jake Lang (.434) was the Prep League co-MVP. He played a crucial role in the Kares winning the CIF-SS Division 6 title. San Marino's Kade Wentz (.386) was the best catcher in the area. He played a vital role in the Titans' resurgence late in the season. St. Francis' Matthew Odom (.344) was a first-team All-Mission League pick.
Pasadena Poly's Franco Alonzo (.465), a Cornell signee, was the undisputed leader of a Panthers team that won the Prep League title. Max Blessinger (.326) of Maranatha, who will be playing at Dallas Baptist next season, is widely considered one of the better pure hitters in the area.
Arcadia's Jeffrey Castillo (.386), an Azusa Pacific University signee, produced critical hits for the Apaches throughout the year. Muir's Amaris Harrison (.457), a first-team Pacific League pick, is considered one of the top defensive shortstops in the area. San Marino's Sean Richardson (.357) was a first-team All-Rio Hondo League selection.
Arcadia's Dustin Allen (.410) was the Pacific League's most valuable player and led the team in three offensive categories. La Canada's Tai Walton (.323) showed that his success last season was not a fluke. Scouts like his potential. Monrovia's Logan Barnier (.351) was the best player on the field for the Wildcats. Muir's Aryonis Harrison (.397) saw all of his offensive numbers improve this season. Mark Daley (.388) of La Salle was a first-team All-Del Rey League selection.

A partially blind woman is today two-weeks old in her grave for uterus damage, following backstreet abortion services she acquired to avoid giving birth for the sixth time.
Until her death, Evenesi Hamphreys Zembeni, 34, lived her life playing music to passers-by in exchange for alms alongside her blind husband on the foot-walks of Lilongwe bridge.
The mother of five, the youngest just under two-years old, was buried on an afternoon of May 10 in Kamwana village in Traditional Authority Mazengera's area, a two-hours' drive from Lilongwe city.
In an interview, the husband Hamphreys Zembeni revealed that his efforts to persuade his wife to keep the pregnancy proved futile as, "she was decided and determined to remove it at any cost".
"She told me she did not want to have another baby as we already have five. She refused to go for antenatal clinics. Instead, she took me with her to my sisters place where she later told me that my brother-in-law gave her a concoction to remove the pregnancy," Zembeni explained.
That was to start a journey of agony for the poor woman who, on reaching home, complained of abdominal pains and begun shivering to the discomfort of the husband and neighbours.
"She had been very healthy before all that. But when she took the concoction, things changed. She started shivering and I got scared. I said we would have to go to a public hospital and not a traditional medicine-man again and we went," Zembeni said.
On being examined at Kamuzu Central Hospital, medics found a cassava stick inside her uterus, causing pus and "serious infection" invasion as the stick had punctured the uterus.
Kamuzu Central Hospital Director Dr. Nordeen Alide confirmed the development.
"She got pregnant and went seeking illegal abortion. She got infected and we could not save her life. As blind as she was, she could not sustain the pregnancy and ended up in this precarious situation. It is sad we could not save her life," said Alide.
The incident has revived debate on the ever increasing impact of unsafe abortions on the poor population in a country where the law only allows access to safe abortion services in public health facilities in instances where the life of an expectant mother is said to be in danger.
"These are people who may not afford modern and safe means of acquiring abortion. These are people who do not know where such services can be accessed. These are the people who are dying. Those who have money and information are saved. This is most unfair. Our country should strike out laws that punish the poor only," said a nurse at Ethel Mutharika Maternity Clinic on Thursday adding "this is an unnecessary cause of death".
But Chairperson of the Coalition for Prevention of Unsafe Abortion (Copua) Darlington Harawa says Evenesi's death should be blamed on Malawi's failure to reform abortion laws.
"The death of the unfortunate woman who was financially and physically challenged is as a result of our legal and health system. We Malawians have killed this woman. We are all responsible for his death. The family needs to be compensated.
"The rich are able to access safe abortion services. The less privileged are going through unsafe abortion leading to the death of two to three women every single day. We seem not to care because they are poor and voice less," Harawa said.
He further said Malawi should not be celebrating the death of women but instead look at reforming laws to allow the women who do not wish to keep their pregnancy terminate it rather than subject them to death.
"The irony with abortion is that whatever the laws in a country, a woman who decides to terminate pregnancy cannot be stopped. What we can we do is to help her access safe abortion services as she has already made a decision," he said.
Malawi is a signatory to the Maputo Plan of Action- where states pledged to take steps to fight unsafe abortion which is also a violation of provisions in international instruments such as the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and African Protocol on Women's Rights.
President of a doctors' Association in Malawi Dr. Edgar Kuchingale recently told the media and members of the Parliamentary Committee on Health that the country's restrictive abortion laws were negatively impacting the lives of the majority poor who are without other options.
He pointed out that while the laws restrict abortion in Malawi to only saving lives of expectant women whose lives are in danger, a lot more other women with money are able to access safe abortion services from private clinics and pharmacies which the poor can hardly access.
"The laws are unfair and unjust because the poor people are the ones that are bearing the blunt. The rich and all other people who have money are getting away with it and staying alive but the poor are forced to seek backstreet help and are dying," Kuchingale said.
Writing in a recent pastoral letter, the Catholic Church in Malawi condemns abortion and warns its members and others about its effects.
"One can never claim freedom of opinion as a pretext for attacking the rights of others, most especially the right to life. Therefore laws are imperative to prevent unjustified foetal killings. The law to be put into place in this regard should take this into account and not just settle for what is easy and convenient for the mother," reads part of the statement dated March 2, 2013.
The Catholic Church accepts abortion only in "an instance of one human life opposed to another human life" such as in ectopic pregnancy.
At least 17 percent of all maternal deaths in Malawi are known to be a result of unsafe abortions.

The Village is full of decent options for weekend brunch. But, most of them can feel a bit old-fashioned and certainly not trendy. There are only so many over-cooked eggs one can have with unlimited water-downed mimosas on a Sunday.
Greenwich Steakhouse (62 Greenwich Avenue) proves not just to be different, but genuinely refreshing when it comes to New Yorkers' favorite mealtime. From the moment you walk in the doors there is a light, airy vibe that takes away the stress of street pounding on the concrete jungle outside. This is not just a steakhouse – this is an oasis.
Beyond the fabulous décor is also a stunning presentation of high-class service. Staff is dressed smartly in wardrobe that could compete with anyone on the catwalk during Fashion Week. Then there are the drinks – oh, the fabulous drinks of Greenwich Steakhouse. Served in stunning glassware and with a touch of mixology genius, get ready to indulge in some of the best drinks in town with a spicy Greenwich Bloody, a sweet Mimosa and tantalizing Aperol Spritz.
Entrée selections are presented with keen beauty. Challah French Toast with fresh berries and phenomenal jams is divine. If you like Lobster Riosotto you will be blown away by the perfect texture of this dish. The sweetness added by the lobster is well-balanced and established with care. French Onion Soup Gratinee is hearty and filling in all the right ways.
Meat lovers will adore the Applewood Smoked Bacon. And, for those looking for a healthier option the Soup n' Salad is perfect. The combination of a creamy lobster bisque with a cleverly tangy shaved baby artichoke salad is a great choice.
With the fantastic food also comes an ambiance of bliss. You just might not want to leave this amazing vibe in the venue. Chef Victor Chavez along with Benny Gocaj have made the best of dining happen in an exquisite three-story West Village townhouse. After an impressive career with Smith & Wollensky, Chavez couldn't escape the dream of opening his own restaurant. The dream became a reality and the result shared with the public is worthy of grand applause.
Prices for brunch are incredibly reasonable with plates on the average side and a wonderful drink special called Make it a Boozy has unlimited cocktails for $21. The restaurant is open Sunday to Wednesday 5pm – 10:30pm; Thursday to Saturday 5pm – 11:30pm; Brunch Saturday & Sunday 11am – 3pm; and Happy Hour Monday to Friday 5pm – 7pm.
Greenwich Steakhouse is the place to be this weekend. For more information and to book reservations please call (212) 553-5000, or visit www.greenwichsteakhouse.com.

Weh Dem Up To: Stylysh vows to keep going despite 'industry politics'
Dancehall artiste Stylysh gave a brief but scintillating performance at last weekend's Summa Sizzle, held at the Woodleigh Sports Complex in Clarendon.
Her energetic set, which saw her performing some of her most recognisable songs, refreshed the memories of some patrons who had seemingly forgot that at one point, Stylysh was poised to become one of the leading females in the business.
The entertainer said she believes people have been 'sleeping' on her talent and that she has to constantly remind them of her potential.
Stylysh, who rose to prominence after her stint on Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, managed to score a few hits with songs like Wife A Road and Are You Ready, her collaboration with Vybz Kartel.
She took some time off music when she found out she was expecting her first child back in 2016.
Since the birth of her daughter, the entertainer has been wanting to ease back into the groove of things but says that has been a challenge.
She says she has seen first-hand how 'politics' in the industry can block some artistes.
"The system set a way more while weh even though people know yuh bad, dem still nah gi yuh di run, dem put on who dem wah put on, and push in who dem wah push in," she said. "Honestly, sometime it make me feel a way, but me just use every closed door as a motivation and continue do weh me a do and pray and gwaan fight the fight, because we know one day we a go get back da break deh weh we did get."
Currently promoting her latest single No Replacement, Stylysh admitted that bookings have been few and far apart. But she believes things will improve if she keeps moving forward.
"This business is not for the faint of heart, yuh affi be determined, and I am nothing if not persistent," she said. "I do get frustrated more while, but I just keep pushing. Right now, the amount a songs weh me have fi release, it nuh normal, because it's like me just take out all a me frustrations inna the studio."
Stylysh lamented that the music business has grown accustomed to highlighting mediocrity over talent.
"Yuh have some people weh just come in and dem aim is to hustle the business, and more while dem get the opportunity. That's why the music business so shaky more while. And the people dem weh really wah fi make a career in this thing get push aside and overlooked," she said.
Still, Stylysh remains steadfast in her pursuit of music.
"Me know say my time a go come so me just deal wid it. Das why me sing the song God Alone, cuz more while a him me look to and talk to, and me just get assurance seh everything a go aright," she said, pointing out that things have already started to look up.
Come next week, the artiste will embark on her first tour of England. She has three shows across different cities, including Birmingham and Manchester.
