DATE ISSUED: October 2, 2000
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2, 2000
A. Policy Statement
It is the policy of the Department of Mental Retardation ("the Department" or "DMR") that services and supports that DMR provides to nursing facility residents with mental retardation should be appropriate to their needs and abilities. The Department recognizes that there are nursing facility residents for whom other residential settings may be more appropriate. The Department is committed to determining whether a move is appropriate for a nursing facility resident. When a move is determined appropriate and is consistent with the wishes of the resident or his or her guardian, the Department will assist the resident, subject to available resources, in making such a move.
B. Scope of Policy
This policy covers adults with mental retardation in nursing facilities who are eligible for supports and services provided, purchased, or arranged by the Department.
C. Standard for Recommending Community Residential Setting
Whether a resident should move out of a nursing facility must be determined on an individual basis, taking into account factors that vary from individual to individual. The Department will offer community residential supports and other supports appropriate to the needs of a nursing facility resident unless the DMR, in its professional judgment, determines that the individual cannot "handle and benefit from" a community residential setting. The factors to be considered in deciding whether a nursing facility resident can "handle and benefit from" a community residential setting, include: (1) opportunities to interact with family and friends; (2) accessibility to appropriate work or day supports; (3) opportunity for meaningful participation in aspects of community life; (4) the presence or absence of an advanced medical condition that would have a significant adverse effect on the individual's safety; (5) the presence or absence of a fragile health condition such that the main supports are nursing services for medical and basic needs; (6) the presence or absence of a substantial risk of substantial transfer trauma which cannot be mitigated by individual clinical intervention; and (7) adequate levels of support in the community system to ensure safety.
D. Community Residential Options for Nursing Facility Residents
DMR retains the discretion as to when to provide residential and other supports to individual nursing facility residents. In presenting an offer of community residential supports pursuant to Paragraph C, the Department will give the resident (1) the opportunity to express his or her interests and preferences and any ties he or she might have to a particular community or locale; (2) information about community residential supports in a manner that reflects the resident's ability to understand and communicate information; and (3) the opportunity to visit and observe similar community settings.
The Department will plan for and develop community residential supports pursuant to Paragraph C for residents who do not knowingly object or whose guardian accepts the provision of such supports. As part of the planning and development activities, the Department will take into account the capacity of the community residential service system to meet the level and intensity of supports required by the resident, the resident's interests and preferences, any ties that he or she may have to a particular community or locale, and available resources.

Theo Epstein's Thoughts on Long-Term Contracts and Other Bullets
The Winter Meetings end today, and it's fair to say it's been a modestly disappointing week for Cubs fans. That is not to say it's been a "bad" week, as I can't yet point to a move the Cubs made or failed to make that upset me (heck, Mark Buehrle is the only player of consequence that changed teams). Still, expectations for excitement were high. Maybe that was unfair…
- The Rule 5 Draft is this morning (9am CT), and the Cubs have the sixth pick. The Draft could go several rounds, but it tends to be the case that teams stop picking by the third round. The Cubs, it should be noted, have the smallest 40-man roster in baseball right now (34), so they could pick up a few players, if they wanted. Don't expect anyone who will knock your socks off. I'll cover the Rule 5 here, live-ish.
- Finally, we have confirmation that the $5 million delayed payment to Carlos Pena (recall, his $10 million contract for 2011 was paid in three parts: $2 million as a signing bonus, $3 million as 2011 salary, and a delayed $5 million payment), which will be paid in January, will count against the 2012 budget. That's a bummer. It's sort of an academic point, as Tom Ricketts could authorize whatever budget he wants (for example, he could bump it up $5 million if Epstein convinced him of the necessity). But, it will have to be considered when we say things like, "if the Cubs' payroll for 2012 is $130 million, then they have $X left to spend."
- Theo Epstein shared his thoughts on long-term contracts and the value of available dollars yesterday, continuing to espouse his belief in building from within. "Just look at the history of long-term free-agent contracts – they tend not to work out," Epstein said. "As tempting as they are and as great a way they are to improve your club in the short term, there's two sides with free agency …. The most valuable commodity in the game these days is not dollars, it's the prospects you project to be regulars or better and good young players under control. That's the swagger, and the whole universe is open to you if you have those players to work with. … That's the currency of the game, is good young players more than available dollars." All good stuff. Keep in mind, this is a guy who just one year ago signed Carl Crawford to a seven-year deal. He understands the importance of free agency, but it's also possible that he felt a little burned by that one, which looked ugly the day it was signed (and only looks worse after Crawford's disastrous 2011 season). It is for these reasons that I simultaneously expect the Cubs to pursue Prince Fielder, but not offer a deal any longer than six years at the absolute longest.
- The Theo Epstein compensation issue and the Jed Hoyer/Jason McLeod compensation issues are expected to be resolved soon (each was waiting for the Rule 5 Draft). On the latter, Epstein says the issue will be easy to resolve. "That one [with the Padres] is a little simpler," Epstein said. "We have a list of players, lower-level guys, who we get to choose from. That will be done in a timely manner, hopefully."
- Much to their chagrin, Francisco Rodriguez accepted the Brewers' offer of arbitration last night, putting them on the hook for a $13 or $14 million salary in 2012. He could still be cut at some point for 30 days' pay ($2.5 to $3 million), or could be traded. But it certainly wasn't something the Brewers were prepared for, budgetarily-speaking, and it deprives them of the compensatory pick they were expecting. How do you mix "schadenfreude" and "Brewers"?
- Tim McCarver yesterday won the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting excellence. (… too many jokes … head might explode … credentials … folksy … Joe Morgan … *BOOM*)

Life Threatening Emergencies
Real emergencies can be life threatening. Rotating my 72 hour preparedness kit during camp-in's or camp-out's makes it less of an emergency when I need to know how to use it. This way my family enjoy's practicing our disaster plan.
Daily Emergencies
The same kind of planning can save time when a daily crises hits. Putting a water bottle in the car saves time and money when the kids and I need a drink. I don't have to stop and/or buy them. As I reduce the physical and mental demands in our lives, we have more time and choices. We enjoy each other more. What I prepare, has to be in good shape, easily accessible and I must know how it works, for my family to find it useful
I don't have to waste more time than money. Setting limits and goals become the steps I climb on my ladder to happiness. I set limits on work time and play time that I indulge in. I take time to be the type of person I like & respect. Here are some of the basic tools I use to build happiness in my life and with my family.
Simplicity Tools
1st: Resources: "The Simplicity Resource Guide" Simplicity is the art of living meaningfully.
"This approach to living calls into question our society's tendency to equate money and material possessions with the good life. Adherents to this way of life reject the notion that our life goal should be to amass as much material wealth and prestigious accomplishments as we possibly can." The more simple I make my life, the easier it is to manage what I want from it.
"Lifestyles tend to involve patterns of working less, wanting less and spending less. This site provides a wide spectrum of resources related to simple living, including book reviews, links to related sites, and relevant articles." -Linda Breen Pierce
2nd: Humor Free Stuff I was so busy getting ahead, I almost lost my behind.
"So I get this coupon in the mail. It reads "You Are A Real WINNER" across the top, so of course my heart leaps as I realize my ship has finally come in." Read one person's journey in how *not* to simplify happiness.

Dear Satellite friend There is 3 weeks since no SSTV signal can be heard from MIR .. It seemed to me that a "gentlemen's agreement " was supposed to allow SSTV transmission every week end on 2 meters. So , as many hams on this side , I am wondering about what is happening in the MIR station .. Is the agreement canceled ?? Since Jp Haigneré (FXOSTB) is doing sometimes phone QSO does not explain the lack of SSTV, we can hear PKT ... Why not SSTV?? I a speaking on behalf of radioamateurs working with poor equipment and little power/antennas( no tracking devices..) I would be glad that the man (organization, officials) in charge of the ham links with the MIR crew to send to the list some reliable informations about it.. This is the role of the list does'nt it ?? thanks a lot and 73 !! ********************************* F6GRY *********** RAMADE Jean-Michel Mail : firstname.lastname@example.com Web :http://webhome.infonie.fr/f6gry/index.htm ****************************************************** ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Using Pawan Kalyan's name to gain some extra mileage to the films has become a common practice. Nithiin is an expert having tapped Power star's titles and songs for his success.
Sri Vishnu who gained popularity with his unique dialect and mediocre success of 'Mental Madhilo' is all set to hit screens with his 'Needi Naadi Oke Katha'.
The highly anticipated film amassed good buzz with interesting trailer and songs. In a candid chitchat Sri Vishnu revealed that he will be playing Pawan Kalyan fan in the film.
"I am basically a Venkatesh fan. Despite being a victory star, he's simple and has no controversies. However I play a Pawan Kalyan fan in the film as 80% of youth today are his fans. I have tried my best to portray how typical PK fan behaves with those signature antics," said Sri Vishnu.
Satna Titus will be seen as his romantic interest in NNOK. Venu Udugula is making debut as director. The film is releasing on March 23rd.

It's been super crazy since we got back. We shot Mattel yesterday and I'm always so grateful to work for them. What an amazing group of people.
I leave for NY next Wednesday. It's so funny to me that my fear of flying has totally gone away. The plane just puts me to sleep now.... That's a good thing!
I sit here watching the fog roll in and am feeling so much gratitude for the people in my life. Each and everyone of them brings so much joy and laughter. Reminds me of the statue in Eze that read... "Similar, yet so different."

In a move that is being heralded as 'progressive' and 'timely' by many, a petrol station just outside of Glasgow city, Scotland, has begun openly employing registered Vampires.
The station owner, Gerry McAvoy, responded "Who better to work the night shift?" When asked about the decision.
The registered Vampire community already face several challenges when it comes to traditional employment, not least of all the unsociable day time work hours. Until recently very few registered Vampires have been able to find employment outside of the arts, where there is oft considered to be a certain air of romance about them and their lifestyle is easier to accommodate.
Henrik Stoker of 'Retracted Fangs' called the news a 'step in the right direction', though claims there is more to do.
"Obviously we have a long way to go, but as long as there are people like Mr. McAvoy, I think someday we will get to a place where humans and Vampires can live in peace."

BOCA RATON — The bed race team from the Firehouse Restaurant had a lot of enthusiasm, but they just were not fast enough to beat the championship Boca Raton Hospital team last year.
For the event in this year`s Meet Me Downtown Festival, not only does the Firehouse crew have the enthusiasm, they also have a new bed.
``The guys built a new bed. We`re definitely psyched about it,`` Mary Ann Vager, a waitress at the restaurant and member of this year`s team, said. ``(The new bed) is lighter and more functional.``
Vager would not divulge the exact design of the bed for fear an opponent would steal their idea. The competition in this event is particularly intense.
``The men have been practicing,`` Vager said. ``They play basketball and all their favorite sports. They are definitely in shape.``
The bed race, which begins with a parade of the beds at noon Saturday, is but one of the events planned for the fourth annual festival.
The revelry begins on Friday evening with a street dance to the music of the Shirelles, a 1960s female vocal group, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and a barbecue at Sanborn Square Park.
``It`s going to be a party in the street,`` John Brugos, festival chairman, said. ``People can come for the barbecue -- we`re going to have ribs and chicken and corn-on-the-cob -- or just come to dance or both.``
The dance is free to the public. Tickets to the barbecue, which will be prepared by Bones` Family Barbeque restaurant of Boca Raton, cost $8 per person.

Interesting read, it makes sense from Google's point of view but surely if there are millions of users who would be better off with a rooted device then that should be an option at factory level. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra (to cover whatever costs Google would be losing through advertising) if it meant I could get a device that would dance to my own tune. The bloatware and the restricted behaviour of some androids I've used can be very annoying and having to root every device manually is a little tedious. I say they should give us the option, maybe on a trial bases if they feel the need to do so, I'm sure it wouldn't affect their business module as greatly as they fear. People, generally, have a pretty good idea of the do's and the don'ts of smartphones these days.

Federal Regulations
The Northeast Blackout of 2003 cut power to approximately 55-million people in eight states and Canada. A tree coming into contact with a transmission line contributed to that massive outage.
After the blackout, new federal regulations with substantial penalties for noncompliance were created to ensure the reliability of the nation's high-voltage electrical grid. These regulations mandate that minimum clearance distances between transmission lines and the nearest vegetation must be established. To comply with these regulations, NPPD has made it a policy to remove trees and other woody-stemmed vegetation within the transmission line right-of-way as well as tall-growing trees located outside the right-of-way that could interfere with the continuous safe operation of the transmission system. In many cases, this means removing trees in areas where they may have been only been trimmed in the past.

We've been cutting into the subtitle topic again lately. Last week, we wrote about The 3 Best Subtitle Sites The 3 Best Subtitle Sites for Your Movies & TV Series The 3 Best Subtitle Sites for Your Movies & TV Series Subtitles elevate the viewing experience, but where can you get quality subtitles for free? We recommend these subtitle sites. Read More , in sequel to our How To Add Subtitles To A Movie or TV Series How to Add Subtitles to a Movie or TV Series How to Add Subtitles to a Movie or TV Series Unfortunately, content you download off the internet normally doesn't come with subtitles. Thankfully, it's easy enough to add subtitles to a movie or TV series. Here's how... Read More article. I don't care much to admit it, but I still need my English subtitles to keep up with some movies.
What doesn't occur to most people, is how tedious the process of finding subtitles to download still is. It's one of the few things we do almost completely by hand.
But not anymore. In the comments section of our article on subtitle sources The 3 Best Subtitle Sites for Your Movies & TV Series The 3 Best Subtitle Sites for Your Movies & TV Series Subtitles elevate the viewing experience, but where can you get quality subtitles for free? We recommend these subtitle sites. Read More , MakeUseOf reader Rahul pointed us to Sublight, an amazing Windows desktop application that handles all your subtitle download needs for you.
Sublight really is an amazing application. Developed by Sublight Labs, this tool can help you to search, download, and watch your videos with subtitles on the fly. Truly, it's the only thing you'll ever need, and once you start using it, you'll wonder why we've been doing these things manually for so long.
Being this versatile, we won't be able to cover all Sublight's features, but we'll provide you with a sneak peek, and introduce you to the most prominent features of the application.
You'll get a chance to specify some of the more important options in the installation dialog. Most important, perhaps, the language. The results can still be filtered while searching, so you don't necessarily need to make a selection, but it'll spare you a lot of trouble in the near future.
After specifying your default video player, you'll also be shown a few default subtitle source plugins. Although it doesn't hurt having multiple sources, it should be noted that DivxFinland and subdivx are respectively Finnish or Spanish language sources, and that Podnapisi.NET requires registration.
Finally, you'll be asked for Windows Explorer Integration. If you enable this feature, you'll be able to (automatically) download subtitles from the file explorer. I would advise to leave out FLV (flash video), unless you regularly download movies from YouTube, DailyMotion, or other streaming sources.
Please note that the Windows Explorer integration does not always work with Windows 7. This will hopefully be resolved in future releases.
Finding Subtitles
To business. Using Sublight to find subtitles is remarkable easy. We'll discuss the manual and semi-manual searches first. To supply a whole directory with subtitles, check below.
As you can see, you've basically got two options; auto search, which takes its info from a video, and manual search. After specifying a video file, Sublight will try to deduct relevant information, like the title, year, season and episode, and fill in the manual search forms. It wisely ignores the release information (often being polluted with forum URLs, or otherwise irrelevant data).
Although all this can be done manually, and without much work, it's advised not to. Using the auto search will also link video and subtitle files, sparing you another bit of work.
Sometimes, especially with popular releases, you'll be flooded with unwanted results. If so, you can always further narrow down results by using the filter feature. This will allow you to filter (or revise) the language, rating, publisher and the number of discs.
Once you've got your subtitles, you can use the application bar, or right-click to download and deploy your subtitles. If you used the auto-search feature, you can already start to play your video. Other options include rating and verification, preview, properties, or searching for related subtitles.
If you've got a lot of video files, providing them all with valid subtitle files can still prove a tedious job. Alternatively, you can scan and index your video folders, and do a batch subtitle download. Eliminating this can occasionally lead to inaccurate subtitles, but overall it'll save you a whole lot of time.
Aside from these features, you can also use Sublight to correct subtitle timing, or even to publish your own subtitles.

@rednoah, thanks!
Its a great piece of software that i've used and i'm sorry that it went payware .. For the amount of strange/miss-tagged/un-synced subtitles i download to get that good subtitle (each download uses points) i can't predict how many movies i'm gonna see for the points "i'd buy" ..
Don't get me wrong, the software is good and the matches are accurate most of the time but i don't really like the ideea of buying "points" .. i'd even put off with adds in the subtitles list or similar for a "free add suported version" and in time, although unlikely, I might go with a subscription based pro version (same amount of pay no matter how many movies) but the idea of buying points .. ugh .. in the end you only buy comfort, hassle free subtitle match and download for your movies, and for some it will worth the money.
However, right now, out of the blue sublight asked me to pay or log off.. so i uninstalled. I'd have loved to get a warning before since i had it free so far and didn't expect the 'disconnect' but i guess that's life.
Right know i'm searching for a similar program and i remember there were a few options back when i found sublight (1,2 or3 years? dunno). I just hate it when a freeware goes payware .. :/
username is mictray - if the free points offer is still valid.
Had a positive experience using this software as the trial version, One thing that flummoxes me at the minute, is that currently I have to download multiple sub files to find the correctly synced subtitle, using needless points up. This is the only thing stopping me from up-grading to the premium version. Is there anything in place to stop pointless points being spent?
Other than that, I love this software, it has made everything so easy.
Hi! my username for Sublight is softcake.
I have been mostly downloading subtitles manually until now, and I find your software makes finding them so much easier!
In fact Too easy!
download youtube subtitle for Srt.(There has many many other people favor).
Pass mo.dbidb.com transit to SRT. OK!
If you're a Mac or Linux, check out FileBot:
Download subs from OpenSubtitles, Subscene, Sublight or SubtitleSource. Supports subtitle lookup by MovieHash/VideoHash (called "auto search" in this article) for OpenSubtitles/Subscene respectively.

used youtube subtitles.
PS: Suggestion:
A good feature would be the batch upload of subtitles, which would recognize the imdb ID and the language from the subtitle name, and would only asks the user to confirm the results from the batch analysis.
Thanks for the bonus points

A Classic-to-Quirky Cocktail Tour of Milan
Evening drinks in Milan, Italy's sleekest city, are more main event than prelude. A guide to four bars where the aperitivo includes stellar snacks, ambiance and a few surprises (Harvey Wallbanger, anyone?)
AH, THE WORLD'S great drinking cities: New York with its trendsetting craft cocktail bars, Dublin with its welcoming neighborhood pubs, Munich with its vast beer halls.
But Milan? The northern Italian city, known as the country's financial and fashion hub, may not be as globally celebrated for its cocktail culture, though the Milanese know better. Here style and socializing are so important to everyday life, it's only natural that drinking would be artfully considered and play a significant role. Specifically, it plays a...

THE SEVEN DAYS! episode 1
hey guys! kritika here! back with part 1. i never update on sundays. family time u know. sorry!
so here is the update. hope it to be long enough.
Episode 1
"choti ma good morning" swara spoke hugging sharmishtha with a bright smile on her face
"good morning beta" sharmishtha spoke gladly hugging her.
Swara, after wishing everyone went to a room of someone special in gadodia mansion. She opened the door and tip-toed to a girl who is standing in front of the cupboard. Swara was about to close her eyes with her palms but the girl said something which made swara disappointed.
"swara I know its you!"
Swara's face fell in disappointment "ragini.. how do you know it's me? You always catch me"
"aww..my shona.. now stop this time pass, come down for breakfast and let's leave for college" ragini spoke straightway.
Ragini has a motherly shadow on her. After her parents death, the way she consoled swara, was like a mother consoles her child. She can sacrifice her life for swara and is very matured.
"umm..kk by the way I have to go to lucky's house today. You know na! today is pari bhabi's baby shower. I have to help him in decorations. Will you accompany me?"
"of course, but this lucky ke bacche ne..he didn't invite me..huh!"
"actually ragini..he told he to inform you, but I forgot..sorry" swara lied defending lakshya.
"swara..hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.."
"uff ragini..again you read a boring novel!?"
"swara..you know na books are my life..but for now I will take revenge from lucky..huh"
"no ways, ragini you.."
Swara was cut by sharmishtha's scream "swara..ragini breakfast is ready"
Swara sighs "let's go"
"wait a minute" ragini spoke picking her kindle.
Swara muttered under her breathe "nerdy rags"
Ragini narrow her eyes "I heard it"
"my bachcha you came" ap spoke taking swara in a bone crushing hug.
"yes yes badi maasi..i came" swara spoke hardly in the bone crushing hug with a wide smile.
Swara calls Annapurna as maasi. Annapura and sujata were close friends of sharmishtha. In the whole maheshwari family, there's no daughter. So they treat swara as their own daughter.
"shona..beta come have breakfast." Sujata said dragging swara to the dining where sanskar and lakshya were having breakfast.
"choti maasi..no I just ate now at choti ma's place"
"no means no..you have to eat this"
She sat opposite to sanskar, beside lucky, greeted the boys and started eating.
While lucky was busy in phone, sanskar hits her leg. Swara's eyes widened and the spoon in her hand fell down grabbing lucky's attention.
"what happened shona"
"nothing just um… arrey parineeta bhabhi come na..how are you?" swara spoke diverting the topic.
Pari also sat with them and both had a good chit-chatting. Parineeta is the one and only daughter-in-law of the house.
"bade mausa ji.." swara saw him and hugged him, then took his blessings.
"be happy" durgaprasad said with a smile.
"chote mausa ji bless me"
"be happy always and pass with flying colors" ramprasad spoke blessing her.
Durgaprasad Is the head of the family. He is the father of adarsh and lakshy. Ram Prasad is the younger brother of durga parasad. He is the father of sanskar. The maheshwari family badly wanted a daughter but didn't have. Before, 4 years they meet swara who becomes a very good friend of lakshya. hence, they treat her as their own daughter. Everyone in the house loves her immensely.
"oops. Choti ma is calling. I think pari bhabhi's gift has arrived. I will be back soon"
"choti ma..i came. You called me?"
"oh..by the way what's this all celebration going on here?"
"nothing much.. today here?"
"nothing much.. actually bhaiya and bhabhi have come so we are just cutting cake and all.. come na beta"
"yeah sure"
"swara…hii!" kavita spoke hugging swara but not whole-heartedly
"hey kavita"
"swara. I need to talk to you dear"
"yes say na"
"not here. Come to my room"
"say kavita.."
"swara. Please don't take me wrong but I think you should not spend so much time in this house. I mean every family has some privacy dear. Swara..i ..i please don't take me wrong. I know I am being rude but.. i..uh.."
"kavita di..uh..i am sorry. Its me who should have understood this. i..i never meant to hurt you. i understand and I will not do it again"
"Swara..kavita come girls" sharmishtha screams from downstairs.
"choti ma..i need to go. Actually pari bhabi's baby shower has almost started. When are you coming?"
"we will be soon there beta. But you should have stayed here. We will go together na"
"no choti ma..i will manage.bye"
"I am sorry for those things swara. But my all friends thinks that about you. and anyhow I will win the challenge of separating you with the family. I also don't feel good by doing so, but.." kavita's chain of thoughts were disturbed by everyone's noise.
Swara was walking lost in her thoughts in the corridor of maheshwari mansion but someone pulled her in a room and locked the door and pinned her to the wall. Swara was shocked but later she was calmed down.
"sanskar..its you…omg you scared me" swara spoke playing with the buttons of her shirt.
"shh.. now tell me what is bothering you, my love?"
"you know me so well, hai na?"
"yes and tell me instead of diverting the topic"
"actually..actually mom dad's death anniversary is near na..so im just uh..sad" she spoke fumblingly
"speak the truth swara.." he caught her lie.
"actually..(she tells him everything).."
"she must be feeling insecure swara that's it. Don't you worry. We all are your family. Ok!?"
Swara nods and hugs him resting her head on his chest. He kissed her hair and inhales the fragrance of her hair.
"love u swara"
"love u too sanskar"
Shocked? Swasan love each other!!? Yeah! Both the twists have started..!
Kavita is not that bad..is she? Share your views.
Thanks for your comments and please keep supporting me. Silent readers please try to come out.
Love you all <3

Somewhere Under the ArchbyRichardHardy©
I realized when my marriage of 15 years ended that I didn't want to do that again. It's not that I have anything against marriage, it's just that there are some creatures that simply don't thrive in captivity. I'm one of them. Instead, I took my show on the road. Taking my lead from those Travel Channel programs, where the host samples the cuisine from various stops along the road, I decided to do the same with sex. Do women in Dallas taste the same as those in Boston? Does a California girl give head like a Georgia peach? These are my journeys. This is my odyssey.
* * * * *
Click Here to listen. (2 min/mp3)
* * * * *
After my marriage broke up, I decided to do some traveling. I hadn't been to visit my brother and his family in a long time, so I headed north to the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon for a week.
My niece and nephew were happy to spend some time with Uncle Dick and, having no children of my own, I took the opportunity to spoil them rotten. At the end of the week, I had arranged to take them to Six Flags and, between them and the oppressive Missouri humidity, I was worn out. We left the park before sunset and I gave in on the way home and took them to one of those "family friendly" restaurants (St. Louis is known for its big arch -- this restaurant had two of them). We ate, laughed and then they ran off to the Fun Room to burn off yet more energy.
As I watched them play, I noticed a very attractive older woman who was also keeping an eye on one of the kids in the play area. She was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and white shorts and had obviously spent some time in the sun. She saw me looking at her and smiled.
I gestured toward the game room with my soda cup. "Which one is yours?" I asked.
She shook her head. "My youngest is 27," she said. "But that one is my grandson."
I pretended to walk over to get a better look at the child she was gesturing to but actually I was trying to get closer to her. "My niece and nephew," I told her, gesturing to Alan and Courtney, who were climbing stairs to a slide. "I just took them to Six Flags and they still have energy to burn."
She laughed. "Six Flags is like crack to kids that age."
I introduced myself. She said her name was "Megan." I sat next to her and she didn't object. Over the next 45 minutes, I found out that she was divorced -- her ex was some kind of corporate executive who left her for a younger woman. She'd had an excellent attorney and didn't have to work, but had started taking photography classes.
As we talked, I couldn't understand why her husband would be interested in a younger woman. She had a dazzling smile, obviously worked out and was extremely intelligent. She wore her blonde hair off her shoulders and her perfume was perfect for a hot day -- understated and soft.
I told her about my divorce and she listened, then offered some advice from her own experience. "The first six months to a year are the worst," she said. "You'll want to rush out and buy a new wardrobe and try to fix all the things you think are wrong with you. Don't. You're fine just as you are. Just try to relax and enjoy your freedom."
When she realized how long we'd been talking, Megan blushed and said she had to get her grandson home. I didn't want her to go.
"Look, I'm in town until Saturday," I told her. "I really like to buy you dinner tomorrow, if you'd let me."
"I'm really not in the habit of..."
I interrupted before she could say no. "Pick a restaurant, anywhere you like. I'll meet you there at seven and we can continue our conversation."
She looked like she was thinking about it. "Do you know your way to The Hill?"
She selected a restaurant named Giovanni's on the Hill. (I wisely called ahead for a reservation.) I had the waiter select a bottle of wine for us and we picked up our conversation as if we were long lost friends reunited.
Megan looked beautiful in a very classy light summer dress. She didn't over-accessorize as many woman her age were guilty of doing. She wore a cross on a thin white gold or silver chain around her neck. Her makeup was light.
After a few glasses of wine -- and about midway through our dinner -- Megan got silent and just looked at me.
"What?" I asked, thinking I had marinara on my sport coat or shirt or face.
"Why did you ask me to dinner?"
"Because I was enjoying our conversation last night," I told her.
"You just want to find out if this tan is all over," she said and took another sip of wine.
"Not at all," I said. "Actually, I'm a big fan of tan lines."
"Do you have any idea how old I am?"
I shook my head. "Not going to get pulled into that one. That's like when a woman asks you if this dress makes her butt look big." She smiled that dazzling smile. "I'm 62 years old."
I tried but I guess I couldn't hide the surprise on my face.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes. 62. Still having those fantasies? Or did you just go soft for the night?"
I didn't know why she was trying to shock me but I figured two could play at that game. I took my napkin off my lap and looked down. "Nope," I said. "Still up. But he might just want dessert."
"Well," Megan said with a devilish look, "I am from Missouri. You might just have to show me."
We both started laughing so hard that we drew looks from other tables. The waiter walked over and asked if we needed anything.
"No," Megan said. "I think we're ready to go."
We talked about whether I should try to follow her back to her place, but decided it would be best for me to leave my car and just ride with her. It was a rental so I wasn't too concerned about it.
When we got to her house, I could see that Megan had indeed done well in her divorce. She asked me to open some wine and went upstairs. When she returned, she was wearing a short silk robe. "I thought you might like to relax in the hot tub," she said as I handed her a glass of wine.
I leaned forward and kissed her lightly. "I don't have a suit," I said, "and he's still sitting up."
She moaned and slipped her hand across the front of my slacks. "Good."
I ran a finger down the inside closure of her robe, opening it as my finger slipped lower.
Megan had the body of a 30-year-old. Her breasts were on the small side so she didn't have any middle-age sag. There was a scar across her abdomen, probably from a C-section, and her tummy wasn't as tight as a teenager's, but she was very desirable. She'd trimmed her pubic hair to a thin "landing strip." The carpet didn't match the drapes but was damn sexy.
And she had tan lines. Her pale breasts against the darkness of her skin, capped by smooth pink nipples made my mouth water.
We sat in the hot tub and kissed and necked and explored each other's bodies for as long as our skin could stand it. When we went to the bedroom, my clothes were still in a pile on the dining room floor. (My mini-recorder was in my jacket pocket.)
Megan was a romantic when it came to making love. Not only did I kiss her body from head to toe, but she also wanted to kiss mine. I loved feeling her tongue on my nipples. She kissed her way down my body and sat naked on the end of the bed. Then she started sucking my big toe and looking up at me, teasing me. It was like she was showing me what she could do with her mouth. I was moaning and writhing on the bed until she released my toe and began kissing back up my leg.
Again, I had to question the sanity of a man who would let this woman go. Megan kissed my hard cock from my balls to the tip. She took the shaft in both hands and ran her tongue over the protruding knob. Then, slowly and tantalizingly, she lowered her mouth as far as she could over my cock. She sucked while she ran her tongue over the bottom of the shaft and tried to swallow more.
She had one of those big wooden freestanding mirrors by the wall and I could see the other angle in it -- her sexy ass in the air, my splayed legs, the back of her head bobbing on my midsection.
I reached down to touch her and without taking her mouth off my cock, she rotated her body until she straddled my face. I wrapped my arms around her and buried my tongue in her pussy, feeling her moan on my cock as I did so. She was wet and had a very rich but not at all unpleasant flavor. The more I ate her, the more I loved the taste.
I was to learn that Megan was still a little old fashioned in her lovemaking. When I tried to toy with her ass, she reached back and grabbed at my arm. I was also fairly certain that if I'd tried to slap her ass, even playfully, our session would have ended at that moment.
But she did love tasting herself on my lips. We kissed until we couldn't breathe, then I rolled her gently onto her back. She had condoms in a drawer by the night table. She opened the foil, rolled it over my cock with both hands and then said, "It's been awhile. Go slowly, please."
I rubbed my cock on her clit, getting the rubber good and wet, before I slid slowly into her.
And it's here I have to say, mature women know what they're doing when it comes to sex. Megan started a fluid motion of her hips, both thrusting and circling and feeling like nothing I've very experienced before. She wrapped her legs around me and reached over her head with both arms. As I rose up, she stayed with me until only our genitals were connected, her hips off the bed, legs locked tightly around me. Her eyes opened and she watched me. It was like she was doing an erotic dance for me while lying on her back.
I stayed with her rhythm, slowly moving against her. It was more like grinding than thrusting. It didn't take her very long. I saw it first in her eyes. She reached down and grabbed my ass in both hands and started grinding faster.
I've seen a lot of cum faces. Megan's was absolutely beautiful. I think what I liked best was, after the initial pleasure waves hit, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me and came again. I loved knowing she was coming for me and not a fantasy.
She came again two more times, in the same position, before I finally filled the condom.
We kissed and held each other until I drifted off to sleep.
I awoke the next morning to Megan bringing my clothes up to hang over a chair in the bedroom. She kissed me and asked if I wanted orange juice. When she slipped out of the room to get it, I slipped my mini-recorder under the bed.
After we'd both sipped some cold OJ, I started kissing under her silk robe. We had a very slow, tender lovemaking session but neither of us lasted very long. And it was one of the few mutual orgasms I've ever experienced. That is the audio I've included here. Sorry about the bed sounds. Like I said, the recorder was under the bed.
While it was an encounter we both enjoyed, neither of us had illusions about it being a long-term relationship. Still, we're friends on Facebook and I have to admit a certain amount of longing to meet once again somewhere under the arch.

The M6 coupé has a carbon-fiber roof and other weight saving measures, making it 20 kg (44 lb) lighter than the M5, however it is 140 kg (309 lb) heavier than the previous M6. The M6 convertible is 50 kg (110 lb) heavier than the previous M6 Convertible.
The official performance figures claim acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) without the M Driver's Package (allows it to run up to 315 km/h) .

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- The cookbook southern food and culture is now mainstream thanks to celebrity chefs like Paula Deen and Emeril Lagassee
The author Christy Jordan is from Huntsville.
Christy is riding a wave of popularity as the blogger turned cook book author is the newest southern cooking star.
"This all started as a hobby. I started a web site about two and a half years ago, purely as a hobby and our goal was to share the recipes I grew up with and the stories from my childhood," said Jordan.
She told her husband she bet she could get 4 to 500 readers, but today, she has more than 15 million.
The web site led to a book deal, now she's working on her second book. Christy has also been featured on Southern Living, the Today Show and the 700 Club.
"I've had a lot of 'pinch myself' moments...I've decided not to pinch myself, I'll just ride it out...it's like you don't look down," she said.
Christy's personality has also led to a Los Angeles TV production company taping her at home, and they are now shopping the product for a possible TV show.
If they want her though, they'll have to come to her.
"I was born in Huntsville. My mother was born in Huntsville. My grandmother was born in Huntsville...I imported my husband from Georgia because I didn't want to leave," she said.
So what's next?
"I'm just waiting to see what happens next. I tell my mother....I said I have no idea where I'm going, but I sure am getting there."

Medicare supplement Plan C is one of the most comprehensive of the Medicare supplement plans. If you are unfamiliar with the different plans available you need to know that there are ten of them and they cover different numbers of the gaps left by Medicare insurance coverage. For this reason they are frequently referred to as Medigap plans. They are not to be confused with Medicare Advantage plans which completely replace Medicare with a private insurance policy. You can learn more about the other Medicare supplement plans HERE.
Medicare Supplement Plan C Coverage
The extra coverage offered by Medicare supplement plan C is only out done by Medicare supplement plan F. The only difference between the two is that plan F will cover any excess charges over the Medicare recommended amount for Medicare Part B covered services. That means If you are covered by Medigap plan C you do not have to pay for: the Medicare Part A deductible or coinsurance for hospital stays, coinsurance for hospice care, coinsurance for skilled nursing care, Medicare part B premium or coinsurance, foreign travel emergency expenses or for the first three pints of blood if you were to be admitted into a hospital. In other words if you can find a general practitioner who sticks to the Medicare recommended prices for outpatient services you would be completely covered.
Medigap Plan C Rates
The rates that an individual would have to pay for a Medicare supplement plan C premium can only be determined by getting a set of quotes. This is due to the multiple factors that determine the rate for any single individual. There are only three major pieces of information that will determine your rate. They are age, location, and health. If you are just starting on Medicare Part B (even if you are older than 65) you will get a six month period that allows you to sign up for a Medigap plan with no underwriting. This means that your health will not be taken into account when writing the policy. This has huge advantages for anyone with any sort of chronic health problems or disease. If you are interested in getting a set of custom quotes that include Medicare part C you can fill out the form for a Medicare supplement quote HERE or on the side of this page.
Medicare Supplement Plan C Companies
Most of the insurance companies that offer Medicare supplements offer Medigap plan C. One very convenient feature of all of the plans is that no matter which company you choose you will get the same coverage. This means when you are shopping you can focus solely on PRICE, PRICE, PRICE! Whether you choose a Medicare supplement plan C from Humana or AARP you are getting the same exact coverage just at different prices. If you would like more info the different companies you can go to our page of Medicare supplement insurance companies HERE.
We appreciate you using our site to learn more about Medigap plan C. It would be our pleasure to serve you in any way we can.

FAC letter regarding Artifact Amnesty
The FAC board's letter to the Division of Historic Resources regarding the Artifact Amnesty Survey has been archived in the documents section of the website. The letter can be accessed through the documents page at http://flarchcouncil.org/documents.htm
Artifact Amnesty Survey
The Board of the Florida Archaeological Council met August 20, 2015 and voted unanimously to oppose the proposed artifact amnesty program. We are currently composing a letter to DHR outlining our concerns. In the meantime, we want to encourage you each to complete the questionnaire distributed by Florida Department of State by the September 4 deadline. The number of responses is being tracked by DOS and will influence the ultimate decision made by the State of Florida, so your input is vital.
The Florida Division of Historical Resources, following a mandate introduced at the very end of this year's legislative session, has posted a survey to study the feasibility of having a time-limited Artifact Amnesty program for artifacts taken from State Lands and State-Submerged Lands without a permit. The background for this action, as we understand it, is that a a few Florida citizens are concerned about the severe consequences if they are caught with artifacts collected in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 267. The consequences came to the public's attention after Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) successfully prosecuted numerous individuals for collecting prehistoric Native American artifacts from Florida rivers. There has also been mention of linking this proposed amnesty program to reinstatement of the failed and discontinued isolated finds program, so that collecting Native American artifacts in Florida rivers would be legal again. Some advocates would even like to make hobbyist collecting on all state lands legal. The FAC Board believes that, as representatives of professional archaeologists across the state, we must oppose these moves in order to insure the continued preservation and wise-management of archaeological sites on state lands and state submerged lands.
Dr. William Lees, Executive Director of the Florida Public Archaeology Network, has crafted an excellent statement on behalf of FPAN, which I attach here for your information with his permission. Alternatively, you can visit the FPAN web page. Please read this material and give some thought to your answers, especially to question 6, before you complete the survey.
The DHR survey, entitled "Artifact Amnesty Feasibility Study Questions, August 2015," may be found at:
It is open to anyone, and may be taken only once per e-mail address. The questions in the survey are:
1.Did you know that it is illegal to remove, without authorization, any specimens, objects or materials of historical or archaeological value from land owned or controlled by the state or on land owned by a water authority?
2. Do you think it should be illegal to remove, without authorization, any specimens, objects or materials of historical or archaeological value from land owned or controlled by the state or on land owned by a water authority?
3. Do you support the implementation of a one-time amnesty program of limited duration for persons who possess specimens, objects or materials of historical or archaeological value collected from land owned or controlled by the state or on land owned by a water authority?
4. If you were in possession of any specimens, objects or materials of historical or archaeological value from land owned or controlled by the state or on land owned by a water authority, would you return them during an amnesty program?
5. Do you think other people would participate in an amnesty program?
6. Please list the positive and/or negative impacts you feel that an amnesty program could potentially have on the stakeholders and historic resources
of the state.
FAC Board Meeting 2015-2016
The 2015-2016 Board Meetings are scheduled for the following dates.
August 20, 2015 – 3 pm edt, teleconference
November 12, 2015 – 3 pm est, teleconference
February 18, 2016 – 3 pm est, teleconference
May 2016 – to be announced
CARL Trust Fund
The Florida Legislature is discussing the possibility of eliminating the Conservation and Recreation Lands Trust Fund in its deliberations to implement the 2014 Amendment 1 to the Florida Constitution that was designed to require continued funding for purchase of state lands and waters (including historic sites). The current push in the legislature seems to be directed toward purchase of new state lands and waters, and away from funding management and interpretation of these properties. The CARL funds currently pay for most of the programs in the Bureau of Archaeological Research including underwater and terrestrial archaeology programs, state lands survey, conservation labs, collections facility, and San Luis. The Museum of Florida History is also funded through CARL, as are other programs in a variety of state agencies. Compliance Review is funded from Federal sources, and is not threatened at this time.
The Florida Archaeological Council has sent a letter to Senator Charlie Dean, the Chair of the Florida Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee, regarding this issue. We encourage anyone interested in historic preservation to write to their legislators and express your concern that important programs focused on identification, management, and public interpretation of state historic and prehistoric sites are at risk.
11 Most Endangered Historic Sites
Each year, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation announces Florida's Eleven Most Endangered Historic Sites as part of the Annual Statewide Preservation Conference. The Most Endangered Historic Sites program is designed to increase the public's awareness of the urgent need to save Florida's neglected or threatened historic resources. We do that to empower local preservationists and preservation groups in their efforts to preserve Florida's rich history.
The 2015 Eleven Most Endangered Historic Sites will be announced on May 7, 2015, at the Opening Session of the Florida Trust's 37th Anniversary Conference in Miami, Florida.
The deadline for submitting nominations is February 28, 2015.
Florida Trust Annual Preservation Awards
Each year the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation solicits nominations for outstanding examples of preservation of architectural, archaeological, and cultural resources in Florida. The winners of awards in a variety of categories are announced and celebrated each year at the Florida Trust's annual conference.
Those interested in nominating an individual or project for award recognition can view complete information by downloading the 2015 Call for Nominations. The announcement includes a description of all categories and the process for submitting nominees.
The Awards Recognition Ceremony will be held on Friday, May 8, 2015, during the 37th Annual Conference in Miami, Florida, followed by a ticketed reception honoring the award winners.
The deadline for submitting nominations is February 28, 2015.

Logitech's Wireless Bluetooth iPod Headphones
Posted by Devin Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video, Wireless / WiFi,
In a move that isn't really all that surprising, Logitech has commercialized the wireless, Bluetooth enabled headphone that was once exclusive only to the HP iPaqs. This new, lightweight set, which will retail for about $150, is for use with only the Apple iPod. It features iPod controls on the headphone unit itself, and an internal, rechargeable battery(that is not removable) which is said to fully charge in 2 1/2 hours. Not willing to spend so much money on something you don't know much about? Check out CNET's review here.

Yet another bluetooth headset: the RAZR H3
Posted by Sparky Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones,
So it looks like Motorola has come out an upped the ante for sleek sexy bluetooth headsets. They have announced a RAZR styled H3 headset that will come out in a sleek black package. They are also announcing the H700 and the H300, two other small headsets with either a boom mike style or an over the ear clip and radically different styling. It's interesting how bluetooth headsets are fast becoming fashion statement of tomorrow like cellphones are now. I've reviewed Motorola headsets before and found their sound quality to be quite good so I'm eagerly looking forward to having a chance to check this one out in all its infinite smallness.

New N-Gage QD Accessories En Route
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Features, Video Games,
Despite being pilloried in both the press and gaming communities, the Nokia N-Gage QD is a great (and most importantly, cheap) smartphone. At E3, Nokia unveiled some accessories that look to improve the platform, including the problem of having a smartphone platform where the expandable storage and game cards use the same slot. These new add-ons are all due in the second half of the year.
Unfortunately, each accessory has some strange drawback or flaw, and perhaps shows that the N-Gage just isn't fully up to the task of being what Nokia envisions the platform as. Let's take a look at what they've come up with.

Spark Fun Mobile Rotary Phone Mini Review
Posted by Sparky Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Mods / Hacks,
PT from MAKEzine and FlashEnabled has put together a mini-review of Spark Fun's new rotary mobile phone. I've seen some hack projects similar to this, but this is the first commercially available one we've come across. I really do miss the old fashioned phones, and once a handset like this comes out that's a bit cheaper I'll go buy one for my desk at work. Ideally someone will make a commercially available Bluetooth version of this so it can just act as a headset for the mobile phone left in my bag.

Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter Review
Posted by Sparky Categories: Accessories, Features, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews,
I recently bought another iPod to replace my Zen Micro and had to find a way to get the music to play through my car stereo. In my previous car I had a line in installed into the jack, but with my new Volkswagen, there is no easy way to do that without buying an expensive adapter. After doing a fair bit of research I decided to get the Monster iCarPlay iPod wireless transmitter and after a couple of days with it I'm pretty impressed. Check out our full review after the jump!

The Google Icon Vase Speaker
Posted by Devin Categories: Accessories,
Google is is just about everywhere these days with their search engine and Gmail. Why not give them even more real estate using your desk? Check out the Google Icon Vase Speaker. On sale now at the Google Store for $30.75, the dark metallic blue speaker hooks up easily enough through your USB port.
Many computer speakers have a rather grim look and too many wires, so consider this sound alternative: a single 2-way surround sound speaker with innovative audio lens technology, a tweeter tuned for clarity. The speaker is powered by a single USB plug (no adapter required), and the clever on/off knob at the top emits an orange LED glow when it's on.

Well, XML is case sensitive so tags in XHTML needed to be defined either in lower case or upper case. Obviously it would have been silly (stupid?) to define the tags in a mixed case or to define some tags as upper case and others as lower case. So either every tag needed to be defined as lower case or every tag needed to be defined as upper case. Hmm, flip a coin, heads its lower, tails its upper? I dream that there were major battles in the XHTML group as they hashed out whether to use lower or upper case tags. Lives were lost, villages destroyed, reputations ruined, etc. Ok, it probably wasn't that bad and I wasn't there so I wouldn't know. There are good reasons on both side. UPPER case characters do stand out better. Of course, this can be used as an arguement both for and against using upper case characters. On the other hand, lower case characters are easier to differentiate because the delta between characters is greater (compare P and R versus p and r, etc). -- Christian Smith | firstname.lastname@example.com | http://web.barebones.com He who dies with the most friends...

The art of Daniel Bonnell is found in private collections, cathedrals and churches around the world. He holds a B.F.A. from the Atlanta College of Art and an M.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. His major online gallery is found at www.BonnellArt.com. Artist Statement To me painting is not about what I see, it�s about what I don�t see. This view is contained within my perception that philosophy, religion and art are essentially transforms of one another. My interests lie within the beauty of ambiguity held within painting that pursues a sacred direction within the realm of Christology. Following the path of using a monastic discipline of Lectio Divina approach to my paintings allows a process of reading, reflecting,...
