Godden, Rumer
Godden, Rumer (Margaret Rumer Godden) gŏd´ən [key], 1907–98, English novelist. Godden was highly praised for the subtlety of her characterization (particularly of children), the charm of her style, and her unflinching focus on characters usually considered marginal. Many of her novels reflect her deep knowledge of India, where she spent her childhood and much of her young adulthood. Her some 70 novels include Black Narcissus (1939), Breakfast with the Nikolides (1942), The River (1946), Greengage Summer (1958), The Battle of the Villa Fiorita (1963), In This House of Brede (1969), about life in a Roman Catholic convent in England, The Dark Horse (1981), and Coromandel Sea Change (1991) several were made into successful movies. Other writings include short stories, children's books, and the autobiographies A Time to Dance, No Time to Weep (1987) and A House with Four Rooms (1989). Her sister
Jon Godden, 1908–84, wrote two novels— In The Sun (1965) and Mrs. Starr Lives Alone (1971)—and collaborated with her sister on Two Under the Indian Sun (1966), about their childhood, and Shiva's Pigeons (1971), a study of India.

The government appears likely to have to drop its plan to tie its proposed indexation of petrol excise to road building if it wants to get the measure through the Senate.
The Greens are against the hypothecation of the revenue for roads although they have long been supporters of abandoning the freeze that John Howard imposed in 2001 on the excise.
They are awaiting the legislation, which is expected to comprise two packages of bills, one dealing with the resumption of indexation and the other with the hypothecation, before taking a final position. It is not known whether the bills will be linked in some way, making it difficult to untangle them.
Greens leader Christine Milne is opposed to the tie-up with roads funding, saying the money should go to public transport – which won't happen.
The fuel measure is worth $167.5 million in 2014-15 and $2.2 billion over the forward estimates. It is due to start on August 1.
The government will need to do its deal with the Greens because Clive Palmer's PUP - which from July 1 will have the power to kill legislation opposed by Labor and the Greens - is against the change.
Palmer said today: "We don't think it is justified. There's no reason to increase [petrol prices]."
He said the Nationals had "sold out" people outside the capital cities who had to drive long distances.
The resumption of indexation on fuel excise is one of a raft of measures, worth more than $1.6 billion next financial year and more than $11 billion over the forward estimates, that require legislation quickly because they are due to start in the period July to September.
These do not include the highly controversial $7 Medicare co-payment, which does not begin until July 1 next year and so does not need legislation to be passed in the short term.
The urgent measures, with a July 1 commencement, include a freeze on the base rate of Family Tax Benefit A for two years, and a two-year freeze on the maximum rate of Family Tax Benefit A and B.
Also from 1 July the single parenting payment is due to be indexed by the consumer price index, which is less generous than the present indexation arrangement.
Another social security change with a July 1 commencement is the imposition of a three-year freeze on the income-free area and asset test limit for all working age allowance payments, student payments and the parenting payment.
Indexation of student income bank limits for student payments and indexation of childcare benefit income thresholds will also be fixed from 1 July for three years.
Many of the measures are at risk, although the various parties are still to make decisions on some of them. One item that is assured of passage is the temporary income tax levy on high earners, starting July 1 and raising $600 million in 2014-15 and $3.1 billion in total.
Apart from political obstruction, the government faces potential gridlock, with much of the urgent legislation yet to be introduced and the parliament, which is not sitting this week, having only a fortnight of sittings before June 30. It will meet in July, normally a non-sitting period. The government's priority, however, will be to get the repeal of the carbon and mining taxes through the new Senate.

Health Warnings Cause Smoking
Did you know that those gruesome images on cigarette boxes actually stimulate smokers' cravings?
There's a new brand of marketing research starting to gain momentum called 'Neuromarketing', which I find very illuminating. This entails researchers placing respondents inside fMRI or EEG machines (if you're a big fan of House, you'd probably seen them before) to gauge their actual responses to certain stimuli. If I'm not wrong, machines like the fMRI identify the flow of oxygen to certain parts of the brain to gauge a person's neurological response. For example, if you're feeling guilty, there will be an increased flow of oxygen to your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that controls that particular emotion. I've never liked using questionnaires, you hardly ever get a genuine response – well, at least I hardly ever give a genuine response (oops!). Neuromarketing circumvents this problem because well, want to bluff also cannot bluff.
Apparently, these researchers found that health warnings stimulated smokers' nucleus accumbens, generally known as the 'craving spot'. So, images of cancer-ridden lungs actually promote smoking! Who would have thought? Martin Lindstrom's book, Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, is an excellent account of neuromarketing's rapid progress. I find it fascinating, don't you?

The Value Investing Congress is the biggest investing event of the fall. Top value-centric minds like Bill Ackman and David Einhorn gathered to pitch their top investing ideas to a tough crowd of hundreds of like-minded pros. We made our predictions on the top stocks and biggest themes of this year's event before we headed up to New York to catch it in person. These, though, are the best of the guru's pitches that jumped off the PowerPoint slide and left us itching to do further research:
Joe Magyer, Inside Value: Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn laid out a great case for a stock I predicted would be pitched: General Motors
I was also intrigued by turnaround specialist Lloyd Khaner's case for juice-slinging Jamba
Michael Olsen, CFA, Special Ops and Million Dollar Portfolio: If nothing else, give Alex Roepers, head of Atlantic Investment Management, credit for the courage of his convictions. He's earned that right; his Cambrian Fund has averaged 18.5% annualized returns from inceptions. Yesterday, Roepers somewhat boldly proclaimed: "Coal consumption may be declining in the states, but it's a growth market globally." Of the fossil fuel trifecta, coal is roundly maligned these days. Recently depressed natural gas prices prompted power companies to switch from coal to natural gas feed, and its reputation as the dirty fuel hasn't helped.
Coal consumption concerns and fears of a global slowdown have pushed shares of Joy Global
Most significantly, maintenance revenue streams equaling 60% of sales bring some ballast to cash flows, reducing the risk posed by a nasty recession and the mining industry's sometimes erratic capital spending patterns. With the stock trading at eight times earnings, I'll be giving this one a closer look.
Joel South, Fool.com: With natural gas prices just off 10-year lows, it seemed inevitable that either an out of favor explorer and producer or a value play with exposure to a natural-gas-based feedstock would find its way into the Value Investor Congress. As it turned out, two firms pitched companies with exposure to gas but neither one was chosen for the reasons I suspected. The much revered JANA Partners pitched Agrium
Bryan Hinmon, Pro and Options: Glenn Tongue of Deerhaven Capital Management thinks AIG
But today, AIG looks much different. Its derivative exposure is virtually nonexistent and will be run off completely over time. The bulk of the company's profits comes from two respected insurance businesses, Chartis and Sun America, that operate in the mundane property and casualty and life insurance markets. Tongue points out that AIG is perhaps the most scrutinized company ever, with multiple government agencies requiring additional layers of disclosure, so the AIG of today has actually been scrubbed clean. The government has exited the bulk of its position, making AIG pretty close to just another insurer. But it isn't priced that way. Tongue believes AIG should be valued at least like an ordinary insurer (at about one times book value) and probably more. From today's price, that would be a doubling, and it will be a moving target as AIG grows its earnings and book value. AIG is a B-U-Y.

"You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you." — Sarah Ban Breathnach
This Equinox we will be unconsciously faced with these questions:
What is my purpose?
What are my unique gifts and talents?
How am I offering them to humanity and the Earth?
The Shamanic Guidance this week is Self-Awareness to help you stabilise your boat, and inspire you to find your Passion and Purpose after the wobbly few days under the Pisces New Moon and Solar Eclipse….
With the Pisces new moon eclipse on Sunday 26th February, the Shamanic guidance for this week is Going with the Flow! This watery, emotional moon can bring to the surface all our hidden fears and limitations about who we are, how we are living our lives, and if we are where we want to be?
Valentine's Day brings our focus back to Love, and has been traditionally interpreted as showing our love and affection for our loved ones. There are many expressions of love so maybe it is time to make Valentine's Day, a day for LOVING OURSELVES, and take responsibility for our own happiness and well-being.

text: So I just purchased StarCraft, an old popular computer game, and I can't install the software on my MAC with OS X (v. 10.3.9) Every time I click on the StarCraft installer I see: "Classic cannot find a MAC OS 9 system folder on the startup disc to use. You may need to install MAC OS 9.1 or later on your computer" Any ideas as to why OS X isn't cutting the bill? I assume it would count as having installed MAC OS 9.1 or later? As lame as it is I have been itching to play this game. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

Fixing our infrastructure
Infrastructure is a core responsibility of government. In the Nebraska Legislature, I served as the Chair of the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee for six years. During that time, I was proud to pass the Build Nebraska Act, which continues to support infrastructure construction and development across our state.
While we often think of roads and bridges when we hear the word infrastructure, it includes much more. Broadband development and deployment, in both urban and rural areas, is critical to connecting us to the world. Railroads, trucks, barges, and ports ensure our quality products get to markets, both domestically and abroad. Airports enable the quick movement of passengers and freight, and our water and energy sources are vital for our lives

Birding in Andalucia
Hello folks, as there are several threads for other areas of Spain, and as this is my huge local patch, I thought I'd start off this specific thread for this very -probably the most- varied and interesting part of Spain, Andalucía, or generally speaking, the South of Spain.
As some of you knwo, I provide and participate actively in birding trips around the whole Andalucía, so you will be able to find a whole variety of birdlife throughout this thread. Hope you like it. Sincerely,
Álvaro Peral

Birding in Doñana
Birding in Doñana is always a great experience. Can you imagine starting the new year with an unforgettable birding experience? So did we!We gave a chance to the Sevillian side of Doñana, which is always calm and full of surprises.
We started our tour at our visitors accomodation in Sevilla, on the way out we saw lots of White Stork -even saw them mating at this time of the year-, Cattle Egrets, Little Egrets, a pair of Eurasian-Collared Doves, a flock of Lapwings, Great Cormorants, Cranes and Spotless Starlings. Then we arrived to La Dehesa de Abajo, where we enjoyed a great but sunny early morning bird session and saw lots of Meadow Pipits, Goldfinches, Chiffchaffs, Black Redstarts, a couple of Common Buzzards and a Kestrel. It looked like the spring was already here when we saw a flock of Barn Swallows perched on a fence.
The bird hides provided a few species, like Eurasian Coots, a pair of Great Crested Grebes, Black-necked Grebes, a lonely White-Headed Duck, Mallards, big flocks of Common Pochards, a noisy Western Swamphen hidden among the reeds and a couple of Marsh Harriers patrolling the area. A stroll around the laguna de la Rianzuela gave us good sights of Eurasian Jackdaws, Stonechats, Blackcaps, Sardinian Warblers, Grey Herons, a few Crested Larks, White Wagtails, Crag Martins and Robins. We were able to hear some Cetti's Warblers and Blackbirds.
Right after we drove around the rice fields near Isla Mayor, where we saw big flocks of Glossy Ibis, surrounded by lots of White Storks, Black-headed Gulls and a few Lesser Black-backed Gulls. The wather was so nice (17ºC) that we decided to go for a picnic and we enjoyed it as some roosting Merlins and Common Buzzards could say. We continued the tour by car, and added to our list Great Egrets, Common Moorhen, a couple of Green Sandpipers and we saw a far fallow deer.
We arrived to the National Park limits, by the J.A. Valverde visitor centre, where we could enjoy 2 big flocks of Greater Flamingo, we counted around 360 indivivuals. There were also big flocks of Northern Pintails, Shovelers, Common Cranes and Coots. Eurasian Magpies Purple Swamphens, Gray Herons, some more Merlins and Buzzards were found, but the jewel of the crown was a final encounter, a couple of Red Knobbed Coots that were waiting to wish us a good birding 2017. On our way back, we found a wild boar and a nice Barn Owl decided to follow our car for a few minutes. Everybody was quite happy and I am glad to have provided around 50 species to start the year!

Great to hear from a local who is interested in birdwatching.Spread the message and lets hope more Spanish people take up the hobby.
I've been to the Costa De La Luz and enjoyed birdwatching there.

Since I cannot get out to Cadiz province (in my view home to the very best birdwatching that Andalucia can offer) these days I look forward to reading your trip reports from there & elsewhere even if I risk turning green with envy! There's no better antidote to the winter blues in the north of Europe than a quick trip to Andalucia where, with luck, it'll be relatively warm and sunny and where spring starts in February (or earlier). If I can't do it myself then doing so vicariously through your reports will be the next best thing.
To respond to Pratincol's comment birding seems to be growing in popularity in Spain where its devotees have a much younger profile than those in the UK. This seems to have encouraged various local authorities to take birding tourism more seriously & give them more of a motive to preserve various habitats.

Glad to hear that, John. Yes, we are blessed with birdlife and tender winters. It's recently been mainly sunny except for today. I invite you to follow my trip reports, which I will limit to 1 per week even though being my job I go birding quite more often thatn that. Btw, I am also member of the ABS, may we have the chance to meet on the field meetings.
Kind regards

Great Bustard time!
There's nothing like starting a new year watching species that you don't really find easily in the UK. That's what our English friends were thinking when they called me to organize our "shiny steppes" birding tour. They were very excited having a go on steppe birds only, so we went for a half-day tour focused on these birds and skept the lagoons nearby. After having a great local breakfast at Osuna, we drove to my favourite display areas, where we quickly found around 30 Red-legged Partridges, very well distinguished now that the fields are green and the crops stay short. The Great Bustards were at that
time somewhere else, but we enjoyed 4 Common Buzzards, 4 Red Kites and some flocks of Spotless Starling and Spanish Sparrow. We continued on and had a short walk that allowed us to add some Crested Larks, Goldfinches, a few Stonechats and 4 lovely Hoopoes that were following us. Soon after we arrived to a bushy area were we could hear the European Green Woodpecker and saw some Great Tits and 2 Kestrels. Some plots were being ploughed and we could enjoy dozens of White Wagtails very much taking advantage of it. We thought the day was completed by lots of Feral Pigeons, Chiffchaffs and a Southern Grey Shrike, but as we were about to finish the journey we found a Red Kite that somehow drew our attention. We stopped the car, took the binoculars to follow its path and, all of a sudden, John and me yelled at a time: Great Bustards! We immediatly set the scope on the tripod and enjoyed an amazing flock of 11. There was one among them that seemed quite excited about its bubble soap coutship, but the ladies were not very interested at this time of the year that -although quite sunny- still belongs to the winter. We enjoyed them for nearly half an hour and then decided to
celebrate the sight with a bottle of wine at Osuna's centre. Everyone was quite happy about this fast winter tour. However, I disliked hearing a noisy workshop not far from there, and as we drove back, a lonely greyhound bothered the flock, that had to take two short flights to avoid it. I personally just hope that we succeed in keeping this small andalusian population of Great Bustards. May you have an idea, please get back to me.

One of my favourite areas to go birding in Andalucia. It consistently turns up at least one of the two bustards and often both plus, with a bit of luck, Black-bellied Sandgrouse. There always seem to be plenty of Spanish Sparrows and Southern Grey Shrikes about - two birds that can be elusive elsewhere. The birds of prey never disappoint either with Black-winged Kite being a particular favourite. In summer you also have Roller, Olivaceous Warbler, etc. Not only that but you also have some great lagunas nearby at Lantejuela. Then there's Osuna which is my favourite small town in Andalucia stuffed as it is with history and architecture. If that weren't enough "Mr. Chava Cafetería" on the edge of town serves the best coffee I've ever had in Spain!

Birding the Odiel Marshes near Donana
Odiel Marshes in Huelva are one of the last real marshes in Andalucia. We took our British guests Peter and MJ in Faro and decided to make our first birding stop at the Laguna de El Portil, where we found some Green-winged Teals, Ferruginous Ducks, Shovelers and some interesting wood birds, like the Short-toed Treecreeper and Green Woodpecker.
Birding the Marshes is fairly better when the tide is low, and we perfectly planned for it. With not much time at El Portil, we headed to the Marismas del Odiel Natural Park and just before getting off the car we could see some 100 Greater Flamingoes welcoming us. There were also some varied waders, such as the nervous Little Stints, Grey Plovers, Ringed Plovers and even a brave Kingfisher.
We were already quite happy and the day was just beginning! We patrolled the marshes and made a few stopovers to check the strategic observation points. Lots of birds, including Wimbrel, Curlew, Gadwalls and Black-winged Stilts. After some nice walk under the welcoming andalusian sunlight, we decided to have a go on the sandy beach at the end of the marshes, where we added a lovely couple of Audouin's Gull and some Oystercatchers.
OK, time for the big guys: we found 3 Ospreys, which actually are common sights for those who know where to find them. But the great moment of the day was about to arrive, when just before going back we heard a strange noise in the water and suddenly an Osprey pop out flying off the water holding a remarkably big fish with its claws! All of us preferred to look at it without the binoculars... absolutely impressive how it came out of nowhere. Our return towards Sevilla was one of the happiest that I recently recall...
Here's the full list of species that we found:
Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna)
Gadwall (Anas strepera)
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata)
Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis)
Black-necked Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis)
Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)
White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)
Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta)
Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia)
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Eurasian Marsh-Harrier (Circus aeruginosus)
Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus)
Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra)
Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus)
Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)
Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola)
Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus)
Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula)
Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus)
Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata)
Little Stint (Calidris minuta)
Common Redshank (Tringa totanus)
Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
Audouin's Gull (Ichthyaetus audouinii)
Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis)
Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus)
Feral Pigeon (Columba livia (Feral Pigeon))
Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)
Common Magpie (Pica pica)
Crested Lark (Galerida cristata)
Fan-tailed Warbler (Cisticola juncidis)
Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala)
Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)
Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola)
Spotless Starling (Sturnus unicolor)

Winter birding at the Fuente de Piedra lagoon, Malaga
The laguna fuente de piedra always provides a great winter birding day. Not just for the reknown presence of Greater Flamingo, but for the magnificent scenario where sky and water merges into one. Anna and Robert were our guests this time. After a traditional breakfast in Antequera, we got to the lagoon, where we started ticking our birdlist quite fast. The small lagoon at the entrance provided lots of species, like Spanish and House Sparrow, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Green-winged Teal, Lapwing and the omnipresent Lesser Black-backed gull. The highlihgt was a very daring Bluethroat, that stayed near us for a long time. The laguneto lagoon provided a couple of White headed Duck and Gadwall, Black-headed gull, Coot, Moorhen, Black winged Stilt, Cetti's Warbler, just to mention a few. We walked the perimeter and then checked some view points. Unfortunately, we did not manage to see the one Lesser Flamingo that we found on our previous Flamingo Tour. However, our expedition around the farmlands provided some interesting landscapes and birds, such as Calandra and Crested Lark, and a flying flock of around 200 Cranes. This was the best moment we lived that day.
We headed to the nearby Torcal de Antequera right afterwards to find some rocky birds but we'll leave this for an upcoming post.

Donana: Black Stork, Spoonbill and much more
The surroundings of Donana Natural Park always make a perfect birding trip. Although big enough to provide a full or even multi day birding trip from Seville, we went for a short winter's afternoon trip that provided around 40 species of birds. Christine and her partner were very excited about the Black Stork, we found 3 of them. It was also the first time they saw Glossy Ibis and Spoonbill. We love to see the joy on our guests' eyes when a new bird is added to their lifelists.

Great Bustards
Returning from the Algarve to Almeria, after a weeks birding, we stopped west of Osuna for a coffee break. Second bridge over the railway? looking north we saw 13 great bustards-a very good end to the week.

I will be staying near Estepona between 13 and 20 April. I am considering visiting Donana, does anyone have any tips about the best way to do this please? I am aware I will have a bit of a drive!

From Estepona (I used to live nearby) a day trip to the east bank of the Guadalquivir is do-able but to Doñana itself would be an enormous effort for a few hours there. Its not enough to be able to cover more than one or two of the best areas - frustrating. I would strongly recommend an overnight stop or better, two!

I agree with Simon. Estepona to the East Bank is something over two hours each way plus driving time on the tracks, but you can do it in a day. I've done it several times from that general area. Doñana itself without an overnight in somewhere like El Rocio is a different kettle of fish altogether.

Hello, Andalusia is a magnificent place, have been there for 12 years to make the holidays at the Donana national park, I could see them more rapacious than in the rest of my birdwatching, Algeciras, Gibraltar, vultures still close to the blades exploiting wind currents.
Anyone who has been to the Donana can only hope to go back.

Thanks for your comments and maybe I will leave Donana until another trip when I can stay nearby. In that case what areas would birders suggest I visit instead?

Hi again, Rob. Given your geographical location, I'd suggest birding either the strait of Gribraltar or the Ronda mountain range. Good luck!

Birding the Strait of Gibraltar: when and where to go
Birding the Strait of Gibraltar is a rewarding experience most days of the year. Although both migratory periods are known to provide the most surprising amounts of birds, all winter and late summer also offer an attractive journey in this strategic migratory point. The success rate is heavily influenced by the winds; as a general rule, we must head to the eaternmost part of the Strait in westerlies, and vice versa. I met up with my friends from Norway in the Costa del Sol and headed to the Algarrobo view point very early in the morning. Although a bit cloudy we could see +200 Black Kites and a few Griffon Vultures coming in. We soon checked some other view points and added a few species, always outnumbered by the Black Kites. We visited a Northern Bald Ibis colony nearby, that lead us 7 pairs of these extremely beautiful and mistic birds, very much devoted to love on these days. Then a quick car-based birding session around the marshes of Barbate gave us perfect sights of waders and a Montagus Harrier. After a short cultural visit to Tarifa village, the day finished at the Punta del Carnero cliff site, where one by one, we welcomed 19 Short-toed Snake Eagles in just a few minutes. Although this site widely provides for at least 2-3 full days of birding, we enjoyed an intensive great journey of spring migration. Birding the Strait of Gibraltar is highly recommended to anyone visiting the South of Spain. Heres an excellent view of the Northern Africas mountain range as seen from the Strait:

Enterprise zones get £100m building boost
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has announced to increase the Government's infrastructure investment in enterprise zones by £100 million that will create thousands of local jobs in the trades.
The investment package will help the thirteen enterprise zones to receive more money for 18 projects to build new service roads, car parking and other infrastructure, transforming 'shovel ready sites into job ready sites'.
The fund, originally £60 million, is designed to help zones reach their real growth potential faster as economic engine rooms of local economies. Following a competitive bidding process the successful proposals will now undergo further testing to ensure value for money for the taxpayer.
Enterprise zones have already created 3,000 new jobs, attracted 126 businesses, generated 105,000 square metres of new commercial floorspace and secured almost £229 million of extra private sector investment.
In addition to this, 5 enterprise zones are also receiving £24 million to tackle traffic bottlenecks and road congestion near their site through Department for Transport funding.
Eric Pickles said: "Enterprise zones are stimulating job creation and economic growth in different parts of the country with their special package of incentives to attractive new business ventures.
"The government is putting its money where its mouth is and making sure enterprise zones have the buildings and infrastructure they need to make sites ready for business to set up in.
"Enterprise zones are proving extremely popular with business – they have already created over 3,000 jobs for local people – a 75% increase in just 5 months – and many more will be coming down the pipeline because of this new support."
Andy Rose, Chief Executive at the Homes and Communities Agency, which is administering the fund, said: "The response from the enterprise zones to this investment opportunity demonstrates just how crucial upfront infrastructure is to development.
"It is great news that this additional investment means more priority sites can be funded than first thought, creating more jobs in the areas that need them."
Today's announcement is just one of range of steps the government has taken to rebalance the economy and support local businesses to grow and create jobs.
The government has reformed the way councils are funded so they have new incentives to go for growth and support local businesses. It has established 39 local enterprise partnerships that along with enterprise zones are able to access millions in government investment to support their local economy, including the £770 million Growing Places Fund and £2.4 billion Regional Growth Fund.
Government Approves £650m Chatham Docks Scheme
The Government has approved plans to transform a 26-acre site at Chatham Docks into a £650 million development set to create 3,500 new jobs.
Medway Council granted planning permission to the scheme, which has now been approved by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles.
Construction work on the Peel Group's project is scheduled to start next year, paving the way for jobs in the building sector and giving 'a real economic boost' to the region.
Leader of Medway Council, Cllr Rodney Chambers, said: "This is a major step forward for the regeneration of Medway and is a clear indication of how the area is growing and continuing to attract significant investment from developers and businesses.
"Not only will it create thousands of jobs for residents in the near future, but it will provide opportunities for future growth and unrivalled facilities for residents and visitors alike to enjoy and benefit from."
The major development will build hundreds of new homes, a hotel, a supermarket, office and retail space, as well as education and community facilities.
James Whittaker, Development Director at Peel said he was delighted the Government has approved outline plans for Chatham Waters.
Mr Whittaker said: "The plan will regenerate and breathe new life into a significant area of the dockland and give the region a real economic boost.
"We will now continue preparing detailed plans for the first phase and we hope to start building on the site next year."

NHL announces cancellation of 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic & SiriusXM Hockeytown Winter Festival – Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic – Maple Leafs vs. Red Wings.
There's not a whole lot to say here. I enjoy watching sports, more specifically, my favorite teams. I don't watch as closely these days as I used to, but I'd still like to see the NHL playing games. Hockey is the sport I actually enjoy watching the most.
It's even tougher to see the sport go through yet another lockout, less than 10 years after locking out an entire season. But it seems as though we're about to hit that point again. Any momentum the NHL had is quickly vanishing.
It's sad.

Okay, okay, I hear you loud and clear. And it sounds like this: Quit your bitchin' Snarky Boy. Fine. You won't hear another peep out of me about the unseemly business side of the ever-growing Snarky empire. Nope. Instead, you will simply await the grand surprise of the goodies to come. But, to quickly break the promise of only 27 or so words ago, I still await the little bird that wants to land on my shoulder and say: I want to play with Snarky Boy because I know Wordpress and the Web enough to make it one big fucking hoot. There. Done.
The good news is that I'm in one foul snarky-assed mood. Yep. Triple dose of snarkiliciousness coming your way. Buckle up.
Let's start with Peter Welch. What the fuck is it about this guy that just makes me want to hate him? Oh yeah, he's the embodiment of every little prick-know-it-all that we all knew in school. He was the kid, for example, who always had his homework done and – worse – joined the teacher in giving the rest of us that smug little look that said: "Why are you underachieving?"
And for purposes of my own battered self-esteem (fuck you, Wordpress), I'm going to ignore the fact that Welch went on to be a congressman and I'm an underemployed painter for now. I mean, who cares if that "why are you underachieving?" look was a sixth-grade prophecy? I can still hate him for it, you know. Hey, why stop underachieving now, baby.
Welch is on my mind because I was just absolutely tortured by the interview the increasingly inarticulate Anthony Pollina did with him on WDEV this afternoon. Welch basically practiced the art of filibustering with Pollina, gobbling up the minutes with his whiny little voice regurgitating the same old same old. Yawn.
Here's a recap: It's all Bush's fault. Everything. Never mind that the Dems have been handing Bush those "blank checks" that Peter pretends to be opposed to. Oh yeah, and never mind that even though Peter the Pelosi-Puppet blames everything on Bush and is convinced he's trashed the Constitution, broken laws and the nation's trust, he doesn't think impeachment is a good idea. Go figure.
And of course Pollina and his three-steps behind thinking never could quite catch up with Welch's rambling to ask him anything challenging – let alone coherent. Sometimes I think the Progs are Progs just because it seems fashionable and hip rather than because they have any fundamental beliefs to set themselves apart from the two-party duopoly. Because why else would Pollina, the sleeping granddaddy of the Progs now that Bernie dances so comfortably with the Dems, be so bland and unchallenging to the Dem congressman? I mean, Welch gets more grief in the mainstream media than he got going toe-to-toe with the Prog man. Weird.
Speaking of Welch and grief, it's nice to see that the Vermont impeachment crowd is, indeed, taking aim at Welch this week. Well, kind of. Because the first thing they're planning to do is aim to knock on Welch's door and request a little chat. I guess they've got a lot of time on their hands because it's pretty damn clear that Peter will pull out his auto-responder-template and say something really close to these words (accompanied, of course, by the grade school look discussed earlier): "Oh, there's no one in Vermont who is working harder against the presidency of George Bush than I am."
But then he'll go into a litany of hearings, bills, and anecdotes that will put the room into nothing short of a deep state of somnolence, only able to come back to semi-consciousness at the sound of his goddamn dog barking because it's not only bored, too, but it also has to take a piss.
And then Welch will make his first major stumble of his term – notwithstanding his war-funding vote and his shameful pursuit of the Bush autograph – and blurt out these uncharacteristically honest lines: "You know, I owe my current job to two beings: That damn dog and President Bush."
It's a good thing most everyone in the room will be fast asleep and miss this rare moment of Peter candor. Too bad.
Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Peter the Pelosi-Puppet will be meeting with the impeachment crowd later this week so he can be annoyingly condescending to them and have yet another opportunity to take a warm piss on the left. Thanks for coming!
Unfortunately, given the chipper-chirpy nature of the impeachment leadership, the warm piss will be greeted with little more than enthusiastic "thank yous" all around and a promise to continue to be oh-so-fucking happy to stop their lives, spend their time and money, and otherwise inconvenience themselves so that Welch can continue to ignore them.
They won't, for example, be the least bit insulted by Peter's use of the old trick amongst smarmy representatives that goes like this: Tell the angry mob to take their anger elsewhere but to keep in touch and – most importantly – keep the pressure on. It's like yelling to the schmuck knocking at the door that you've got no intention of answering it but keep knocking!
Let's hope the impeachment folks don't fall for the old trick and, instead, refuse to leave the very nice meeting until Peter does what he should instead of issuing them more democracy homework. But, sadly, I think the impeachment movement has come to its dead end. Like the Vermont antiwar movement, the passions and dreams of this movement will be largely extinguished by the three-dollar-bill promises and faux-sincerity of Welch. And the closer we get to the next election, the less the libs are going to want to rock the boat. They've got Kool-Aid to make, baby! Not to mention Bush-bogeyman posters!
It's the elections that matter, we'll all soon be told over and over again. Forgetting, of course, that not much seems to be happening between the elections. Well, other than rearranging the deck furniture on the sinking ship. Gurgle. Gurgle.

She had a green thumb that worked both inside and outside, and she was an expert bargain hunter. She was a genuine soul, and everything she did had a purpose that was borne of love.
Judy will be missed by her children: Jim (Beth) Reinert of Hortonville, Tracy Kitterman of Kaukauna, Robert (fiancée Heather Gray) Patrick of Kimberly, Bill Seehawer of Texas, Tony (fiancée Sara Wyman) of Appleton, and Jenn Seehawer of Chicago.

FAQs on Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a characterized by many symptoms, which include burning, skin discoloration, swelling, and tenderness of the affected extremity. Also called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), the symptoms of RSD occur in three stages, which are acute, dystrophic, and atropic.
What are the symptoms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy?
The symptoms vary according to each stage of RSD. In the acute stage (first 3-6 months), the patient experiences burning pain, flushing of the skin, extremity swelling and tenderness, as well as blanching and sweating of the skin. During the second stage (dystrophic – lasts 3-6 months), the patient's skin becomes thick and shiny, and there is flushing and persistent pain. With the final stage (atrophic), which occurs 6-12 months from the onset of initial symptoms, the patient experiences loss of function, contracture development, mobility problems, and skin thinning.
What are the causes of RSD?
The exact mechanism of RSD is not well understood at present. However, doctors believe the condition involves abnormal excitation of nervous tissue and dysfunctional nerve impulses, which affect blood vessels and skin.
What are the triggers for the onset of reflex sympathetic dystrophy?
Several events and circumstances tend to trigger the onset of RSD. These include:
- Injury
- Surgery
- Heart disease
- Degenerative arthritis
- Shoulder problems
- Brain disease
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shingles
How common is RSD?
In one U.S. study that investigated RSD incidence, the rate was found to be 5.5 per 100,000 persons. However, a European study reported the rate much higher, at 26 per 100,000. RSD affects women more than men, and most cases occur during the ages of 50 to 70 years. Additionally, Caucasian and Japanese people are affected more often.
How is RSD treated?
Several treatment options are used to control the symptoms of RSD. While one treatment may work for one person, it may not work for all, so treatment must be individualized. Therapies include:
- Medications – The cornerstone of pain management is medications. Depending on pain severity, options include high doses of corticosteroids (used short-term), Lyrica, clonidine, and amitriptyline.
- Physical therapy – To avoid muscle wasting, atrophy, spasms, and weakness, the patient will need to undergo physical therapy for several months. The therapist teaches exercises and strengthening techniques to the patient, as well as uses pain management therapies involving electrical stimulation and ultrasound.
- Stellate ganglion block – The stellate ganglion are nerves that supply the upper extremities. The doctor will insert a small needle near the nerves and inject a long-acting anesthetic onto the nerves under x-ray guidance. This block will improve blood flow to the arm and/or hand. According to a clinical study, the success rate is 80% with around 40% of patients reporting complete symptom relief.
- Lumbar sympathetic block – Found to be 75% effective in several research reports, this procedure involves blockage of the sympathetic nerve chain of the lower back. Done under x-ray guidance, the doctor injects an anesthetic onto the nerves.
- Sympathectomy – To destroy nerves that supply the affected extremity of RSD, the doctor uses either a destructive agent or coagulation in sympathectomy. This procedure is reserved for patients who do not respond to nerve blocks and other treatment options. In a review of studies, the success rate for sympathectomy was reported at 50%.
- Spinal Cord Stimulator – As a last resort, pain management doctors in Nashville will perform a spinal cord stimulator implant to mask and reduce the pain with RSD. Studies have shown the implants work well over 75% of the time for RSD and are an excellent option when all others have failed.

Slowly but surely–the feds are coming out with details concerning changes they're making to their initial idea on tax changes.
There has been a lot of concern—because those ideas would have hit farmers and small business people with huge hikes….
Here's what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to say :
"Beginning January 1st, we intend to lower the small business tax from the current 10.5-percent—to 10 percent. We intend to bring it down even further–to 9-percent–as we promised during our election campaign. That will kick in—January 1st of 2019. This tax cut will support Canada's small businesses–so they can keep more of their hard earned money. Money they can invest back into their businesses, their employees and their communities."
Now—what about farmers?:
"As part of our consultations–we also heard from many of Canada's hard working entrepreneurs—including farmers and fishers. Many expressed concern that changes to the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption rules–would make it more difficult for them to pass their family business on to their children. We believe that after working hard to build a successful family business, no mom or dad or grandma or grandpa–should be forced to choose between a decent retirement–and keeping the business in the family. For this reason—we will NOT be changing the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption rules. And further–we will continue to work with farmers and fishers and entrepreneurs to ensure they can pass on their businesses to the next generation."

Hey everyone! I have to apologize I didn't get around to posting yesterday. I Got really busy at work and wasn't able to free up enough time.
Friday I was an extra hitter on my brothers co-ed softball team. they needed me to be in at least two regular season games, that way I could play in their end of season tournament. Since it was Friday night we played at 9pm under the lights of one of the three fields. That was all well and good until in the top of the second inning all the lights went out. It got very dark very quickly. We had to wait for a good half hour for the breaker to cool down and be switched back on. We thought we would have to reschedule, but right as we were about to pack up the lights kicked on. We finished the game with a win and that was that. It took longer than normal due to the delay. My wife and I had to be up the next morning at 6am to go back to our college town.
That next morning we were up early. Once we got to the college, I dropped her off to take her comprehensive exam for her Masters program. She then had a meeting with her internship professor, that would last until about 4pm. I on the other hand had a Theta Chi Fraternity meeting at 11am. I am the Secretary of our alumni chapter, and had to be there to jot down the minutes. I had about three hours to kill before the meeting and about 4 hours after. I decided to take the whole campus and more over in Ingress.
The Photos above are as follows: 1st is my campus and all of the portals located on it. I capped them all and fully deployed. I then linked around the whole campus. The 2nd is the larger field I threw over it all for another layer. I know that it uses one of the same corners, and that is because as you can see, some jag off had thrown a bad link at the top right. I didn't see it in time and didn't want to Jarvis everything I already did.
On top of that I added two larger fields later above campus. I went to very uneventful meeting and stayed there as long as I had to. I love my fraternity and all but since the active members got their charter revoked the meeting lacks in attendance and the alumni don't do much. I was easily the youngest person there by 25 years. After my meeting I met up with my little from the fraternity. He was at work at the local beer distributor. I hung out with him the rest of the time before I got the call that my wife was done.
We went home and rested the rest of the day since we woke up early ad stayed up late the night before. The next morning we had a double hearer softball day. We had a game at 11:30am and then a game wait before the next one at 2pm. The first game went well, we were in the lead for most of the game. Somehow we lost the lead late in the game and in the very last inning I drove in the winning run to take the victory. The second game was the worst one we have played all year. We lost by 12 run in the fifth inning. We had too many errors to count and screwed everything up. It was like our team had never played ball before. Oh well, we the end of season tournament coming up so we will make a good day o two of that.
Yesterday I got really busy with work and then after my wife and I went and looked at a couple houses with a realtor. I really liked the one I'm just not sure if we could get the right amount of money in a loan. I would hope we could but my school debt would be a huge factor, as well as my wife not having a full time job since she is stil in school until August. Anyway that is all for today, again I'm sorry I couldn't squeeze in a post yesterday. It just wasn't in the cards.
Have a great Tuesday and I'll see you tomorrow! 😀 😀
