Conall out to ensure that Harps can book their final passage
Conall Jones of Derrygonnelly Harps and Fermanagh was born in 1992, the same summer that his current team-mates Kevin Cassidy and Dermot 'Peggy' Feely, along with current manager Martin 'Archie' Greene, made their debut for the club in purple and gold.
And tomorrow they all go to battle together for the club's biggest-ever game in the Ulster Club senior semi-final replay against Cavan Gaels in Clones.
"Those three boys were the three main men back then and they are still very potent in our team at the minute," says Jones of his memories growing up as one of the boys that hung around the back of the goals in the hope of getting to kick a stray ball back over the wire in Canon Maguire Park.
"It's an absolute credit to the boys how they have kept themselves in such good shape and injury-free. You look at them now and they are still mixing with the best all these years on," he adds.
Derrygonnelly Harps are truly a special club. When they came to build a state of the art clubhouse a few years back, the club volunteers all chipped in, the tradesmen among their membership grafted at weekends and on long evenings. Thankfully their efforts are rewarded with a team they can be proud of.
One of those tradesmen, Damian McGovern, was manager of the junior side and the youth chairman when he passed away in early October, 2015. He was one of those do anything and everything types that can be easily taken for granted when he was snatched from this life by an industrial accident.
The Harps were due to play a county final that weekend against Roslea that was postponed. His loss is still keenly felt.
"He was a huge inspiration for the club. Especially in the 2015 Championship," recalls Jones now.
"It definitely brought us all together, and I suppose every big match in the Championship we're always thinking about Damian and his name always comes up in team talks.
"It gives you that extra few per cent that you need.
"Normally, Damian's anniversary mass would be in around the time of the Championship final. So it puts everything into perspective. Everything Damian gave the club, it makes you want to give a bit more and you want to do it for him, do it for everyone that has given so much for the club as well."
They haven't lost a game in the Fermanagh Championship since, putting three titles together on the bounce and claiming the double-double last year.
Contributing to that success is a balancing act for Jones. By day he works in social housing projects for Connswater Housing in Belfast, developing land for social housing and buying properties in the open market to refurbish and rent out.
But there comes a time when every young man wants to see a bit of the world and he's only back from a year's travelling alongside his girlfriend, Caoimhe Sweeney of Belcoo.
After a quick stop in Dubai, they made their way along Australia's Gold Coast, ticking off the usual bucket list entries such as the Whitsunday Islands and diving on the Great Barrier Reef, before his Fermanagh colleague, Richie O'Callaghan of Enniskillen, brought him to Melbourne to play for Wolfe Tones in the Victoria Championship, which they won, adding the Gosford Tournament along the way.
But all things must end and he is back on Ulster soil, although he found the pull of Melbourne - with a sun getting warmer - hard to leave.
It's not all bad at home.
Alongside Conall on the team are his brother and county team mate Ryan (26) and younger brother Garvan (21). Another team mate is cousin Lee Jones.
"The whole Jones, it's just football, football, football," laughs Conall.
His father Eamonn used to be a plastering contractor who now houses hens and is an egg producer. The house is a mixture of football and farming.
Outside, Eamonn has cows and sheep grazing the fields. Inside, their mother Ellen keeps her strapping sons in the food they need to mix it on the pitch.
"Dad reckons he never got the chance to play football, but I think he mightn't be able to kick snow off a rope!" he adds.
"It brings the whole family together and we know mum and dad are very proud of us. The aunties and uncles would call round after the games to talk about it."
They have plenty to chew over these days when it comes to the post-mortems.
The Harps have dominated their own county, something of a prerequisite if you wish to compete consistently in Ulster. The first two years they came out of Fermanagh they were unfortunate to come up against Slaughtneil.
In 2015, there was a hangover of emotion and perhaps something else as they honoured Damian McGovern and they lost by 18 points in Owenbeg.
Last year they prepared better and shaved the margin to five points.
"The two games definitely brought the boys on. It's a certain type of game you play in Ulster, it's maybe not the game you would play in the County Championship," Jones explains.
"But it definitely brings you on as a footballer. Boys have to be smarter, make better use of the ball, know when to give it and when to hold onto it and that kind of game brought the boys on."
This time around, they achieved their first-ever win at this level by beating Armagh Harps in the quarter-final. Tempting as it might have been to kick back for the year, last Sunday they had Cavan Gaels at their mercy in the drawn match but let them off the hook, leading to the replay tomorrow in Clones.
Still, you won't find this man pinching himself.
"To be honest, personally it is where I want to be," states Jones with realism.
"It's where I want to play my football. I think we are good enough to be there and I think we deserve to be there and I really look forward to games like that.
"Previously, I would have got nervous before big games. But in the last two years or so I never get nervous. I really look forward to them because that's where I want to be, that's where we all want to be.
"We train hard all year round and we know we are as good as any team in Ulster."
Time to make the final leap.

Delhi Girl Harassed By OlaCabs Driver : Disgraceful Behaviour
Cab services like OlaCabs have really helped a lot of people who have had trouble with conveyance, especially in a city like New Delhi. But we all know that every single situation has its negative points. Samreen Khan, a resident of New Delhi who was travelling in an OlaCab, was subject to harassment from the driver of her cab. She was wise enough to make the incident public through her Facebook profile, once the OlaCab management failed to help her with the situation. Here is what she had to say on her Facebook profile, on 9th Dec :
"Spreading a word regarding 'Olacabs'
I took a #Ola from Gurgaon to Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. The driver stopped the car twice in the middle of the trip, once to pee roadside and another time by saying that he wants to check the air in the tyre.
I was listening to music and was sitting diagonally to the driver's seat. Unfortunately I had a injury in my right feet and had to keep it on the seat. Then what I saw was extremely ridiculous. The driver started moving his limbs in a strange way and started sweating. I saw him biting his fingers and moving his palm on his thighs, trying to kind of mustarbate. I made him conscious of his actions by increasing pitch of my voice and asked him to speed up, he then was so rash in his driving that an accident was about to take place. He was repeatedly doing the same activities. In the mid of my way I decided to call one of my friend and informed him of my location. On reaching my destination, I launched a complaint with Ola, but they weren't able to help me much with this. The ola people just kept transferring my call from one person to another. Another disgusting part of the incident was that he did not go away for another 2-3 hours from my vicinity because the ola people had blocked his further rides. Had to face lot of inconvenience, firstly because of being unwell, secondly coz of the nuisance and thirdly because the ola people couldn't help me with the driver standing below my building, inquiring about me from the passerby's.
Please repost this so that female's of our country can be aware about cab services and the consequences they can lead to.
The slow processes in our country and the sick mentality of men lead to incidents like rape.
Please avoid services of Ola. Terrible experience !!
Posting few pictures about the same…
Had to ask for police help as Ola
did not help me …"
This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour on the part of a cab agency which has been created to help people, not put them in dangerous situations such as this.
OlaCabs then got back to Samreen, seeing the responses to her posts on social media. Here is a part of her Facebook status update from 10th Dec:

Meet my housemate, Ethan. Ethan is a happy soul, a wildly intelligent, 6'4" Boston native studying law at UALR. Ethan loves bicycles, debating copyright law, photography and this stuff friends call "bean muck," a muddy, grayish protein-bomb of boiled black beans and spice. More than all this, Ethan loves hardcore punk from his native Massachusetts, especially Bane. At least once a week, you can find Ethan, all high on bean muck, fistpumping by himself in the living room to his Bane 7"s. Ethan tells me the act is legendary in hardcore, thanks to the anthemic and defiantly positive voice they embody in a sea of angry punks. The other day, Ethan played me a few songs by the legends of the genre, like "Superhero," a straight-edged praise for people who quit smoking, and "Swan Song," a chunking shout-along specially made for live shows. Ethan was happy I liked the music as much as I did. Ethan also assures me that Bane fans are many. And passionate. And nice guys who refuse to hurt people at punk shows. Just like Ethan himself. From what Ethan told me, this should be a great show and a rare treat for hardcore fans in Arkansas. Take it from Ethan, our friendly neighborhood expert on all things hardcore: This is a must-do for punk aficionados. Bane is joined by tour mates Trapped Under Ice, Cruel Hand and Alpha and Omega.

I didn't realise it had been this many days since I last wrote!
So, what have we been up to?
Thursday I went with Roarke to have his echocardiogram done at Medway Maritime. All was fine - as we knew it would be.
On Friday morning our lead Elder came around for a chat, getting to know us better and arranging when we can formally "come into membership" at the church. All very exciting, as he is open and honest with us about how we will be able to develop our gifts within the fellowship, and the opportunities he is happy to open to us, including suggesting that we consider leadership training (Roarke, that is).
In the afternoon I took the boys over to the Bromley Common group of home educators, which was good. A chance to chat with different families, and for the kids to make some new friends.
Saturday - can't actually remember anything that we did on Saturday! Oh yes, we went to the library all of us to get some new books.
On Sunday we had the church picnic - nearly rained off, but we managed with just a few, quick light showers. It was a good opportunity to talk to people who are, by now, familiar faces but with whom I've not had a chance to get to know yet. Unfortunately, I had a migraine develop late Saturday and was still recovering in the morning, so we only stayed for 2 1/2 hrs (Roarke was there for the first hour before going to work).
Today we have tackled a tough subject - puberty! As Joshua is a "sensitive", I knew that if he experienced any, erm, signs of puberty without knowing in advance what they mean, it would cause him a horrendous amount of distress. We therefore decided to raise the subject with him, even though he's only 11.
He first went with his Dad to collect some educational resources from a lady on Freecycle, and whilst they were out, they had a "chat" - basing the discussion around what the Bible teaches about the fall, sex, relationships and marriage. Joshua - as expected - found this all quite tough and got quite distressed about the fact that he "doesn't want to grow up". I remember feeling quite similar at his age.
So, to do some follow up, I gave him a hand out about male parts, and 2 worksheets, to do in the privacy of his own room. I let him "mark" them himself, and said he can talk to us about any questions they raised. I've also explained to him why we are having these conversations now, and he is doing his best to take it into his stride.
However, it has set me wondering how/when to deal with this for Samuel (8 1/2). He is a big lad, obviously with high-testosterone levels, and it would not surprise me if he enters puberty on the early side of the range. He may well turn out to be able to take it straight away, and all in his stride, but with his semantic/pragmatic issues, I want to make sure that I use the right words, and descriptions, to avoid any confusion.
No-one said these would be easy!
But there are some positives to the growing up thing.. at lunch today 100% his own iniative (I hadn't even realised it was nearly lunchtime) Joshua went into the kitchen and prepared lunch for him and his brothers (doing them first) - handling toaster and microwave like a pro - and then came and asked me what I wanted! A real step forward.
To balance things, I asked Samuel to wash up - which as least these days doesn't involve having to rewash everything once he's out of the room, even if I did have to replace everything in the proper way on the drainer so it actually drained...
I recently rediscovered the Lego site - bad idea, as I am seriously addicated to Junkbot! I've now got William fighting for the computer to play it too!
I found some nice ideas for language "lessons" today, including this nice internet one for basic French, using cheese! As it would provide us with an excuse to buy and eat lots of French cheese, it sounds great to me!
Talking of French things, it will be our wedding anniversary soon (somewhat inauspiciously 9th September..) and we usually take a day trip to France. However, I fear this year the funds will not stretch to it, which is a seriously depressing thought. :0(

Top 10 Rules of Branding
Businesses invest a lot of time, money and energy into their brand, but pitfalls of branding can often undermine all of that hard work. Here are some guidelines that will help you get the best return on your investment.
1. Brand ≠ Logo
Your brand is NOT your logo; or rather, it is not just your logo. Your brand is how people remember you. Being stuck in the mindset that your brand is one or few elements is a common mistake and undervalues its power and significance. Your brand is your verbal and visual identity and should tell a story. People relate to stories and they are easier to remember than lists or facts. Your brand is what people say about your company or your business when you're not in the room.
2. Invest in your brand.
Be willing to invest in your brand and you will see the results in dollars returned to your company. If you're going to spend money on only one thing – it should be your logo. Once you establish a solid brand foundation, you can decrease your marketing budget and still have great results.
3. Don't try to please everyone.
Be careful about collecting too many opinions. Friends and family love you and want you to succeed, so they will often be the most outspoken with feedback. Remember, no great company out there has ever made everyone in the boardroom happy.
4. Don't complicate things.
Keep it simple (…stupid). "The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do."– Thomas Jefferson. If you need to explain it, you've failed.
5. Let it go!
Both you and your audience can be attached to your brand. Brand attachment is great, but make sure you're attached for the right reasons. If your current brand is not generating the success you are looking for, then take a deep breath and let it go.
6. Don't change for the sake of change.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Rebranding is necessary in some cases, but should never be your first option. You also have to give you brand time to build – it's not an overnight process.
7. Never be a copy-cat.
Just because it works for someone else does not mean it will work for you. There's nothing wrong with being influenced by something that already exists, but copying will compromise your integrity. Branding is determining the things that make you different and then shining a white-hot spotlight on them.
8. Listen to your audience.
This does not mean asking everyone for their opinions. One reason that brands don't listen to their audience is because there's an overwhelming amount of noise and data out there. It's hard to separate the signal from the noise. There is lot of great technology out there that will help you listen actively to your audience and filter what is useful from the mass.
9. Be consistent.
Your customers want to build a relationship with your company, which is hard to accomplish if you are not consistent across all platforms with your branding. Keep things in alignment from your logo and website design to verbal communication style and office decor. You want to tell one clear story in many different ways.
10. Pay attention to social media.
Social media literally gives a voice to your brand. Make sure it's positive and consistent. There was an incident with Lululemon recently and people took to Facebook to express their disappointment. The brand also started talking on social media, however it was on unrelated topics that had nothing to do with the incident of the see-through pants. Social media listening helps us understand real conversations, real people, and what they want.

Today in New West news: $1.5M loan approved for Rocky Mountain PBS, predator control study, sage grouse guidelines, and two Western Slope coal plants to shutter.
Earlier this year, we reported Rocky Mountain PBS would move to a new headquarters at 21st and Arapahoe Street in Denver, CO, into a building designed by local firm Tryba Architects. We also reported the move would cost $30 million; Rocky Mountain PBS CEO Doug Price told the city PBS they would swap their current space (on Bannock Street, near West 11th Avenue) for $1.5 million and a state-owned block on the proposed headquarters site. RMPBS would "lease back" the Bannock building until the new headquarters is finished.
Now, according to the Denver Post, the City Council has approved a $1.5 million loan to Rocky Mountain PBS to start construction of the project:
The loan — of which $1 million is forgivable if RMPBS meets a goal to hire 43 new workers in two years — is just a smidge of the $30 million the station needs to fundraise from supporters. The City Council will vote on the loan agreement Sept. 12. If the full council approves the deal, RMPBS has 90 days to begin construction.
"This isn't an incentive to bring a business here, but a partnership that we and OED (Office of Economic Development) and many others believe will create the type of place for technology and innovation to occur," said Jeff Romine, a city economist working on the project.
And much like past city economic development loans, this one targets an undeveloped part of the city, Arapahoe Square, a largely undeveloped area northeast of downtown that is bounded by Park Avenue West, 20th, Lawrence and Welton streets.
"It has the same characteristics as Industry," Romine said, pointing to the now-thriving coworking spot on Brighton Boulevard that the city loaned $1 million to in 2013.
"When we first started talking about Industry and Jason and Ellen (Winkler) brought that forward, Brighton wasn't Brighton," he said. "There's always a risk, but it's about us being a catalyst. We think this is going to be the same case. We're asking Rocky Mountain PBS to think broader than their parameters."
And the project is, indeed, broader. In addition to the station's new studios and offices, the project will include office space for digital art-related businesses. The idea, Romine said, is that area businesses could better work with PBS to create digital shows or other content, or even share equipment.
The $1 million performance loan requires PBS to create 43 new jobs within 24 months of the loan's approval. Romine said the station can meet that goal by leasing the commercial spots out.
Earlier this year, a pair of researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Riddarhyttan (Guillaume Chapron) and University of Wisconsin–Madison (Adrian Treves) published a study arguing that culling of large carnivores (like wolves and bears) leads to an increase in poaching. The study challenged conventional notions of predator control, which hold that removing carnivores from the wild decreases poaching because "problem" animals are removed. The study found that the opposite is true: when culling is implemented, poaching goes up, as killing becomes normalized.
Now, Treves and another pair of researchers (Miha Krofel of the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and Jeanine McManus of the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa) have published a study in Frontiers of Ecology and the Environment arguing that other forms of predator control have been implemented "without first considering experimental evidence of their effectiveness sin mitigating predation-related threats or avoiding ecological degradation." In other words, managers and livestock owners used lethal or non-lethal methods of predator control (guard dogs, fences, poison, etc.) without considering whether they would work i.e. get predators to leave their cattle alone.
The study weighed 24 recent predator control studies (including two in Montana and Idaho) and subjected them to "rigorous tests using the 'gold standard' for scientific inference." In other words, they subjected them to an experiment. From the study's conclusion:
In conclusion, we believe the science of predator control lacks rigor generally – the resulting uncertainty about the functional effectiveness of killing predators should guide evidence-based policy to non-lethal methods until gold standard tests are completed.
Keeping with wildlife, according to the Billings Gazette, the Bureau of Land Management has released their latest guidelines for implementing greater sage grouse management plans. The release comes after Wyoming announced their sage grouse populations were up for a third year in a row.
The BLM (and to a larger extent, the Interior Department) have attracted criticism for their handling of the sage grouse. Conservaitonsists argue the bird should be placed on the Endangered Species List, while mining and drilling companies say the plans would curb their effectiveness and profits. From the Gazette:
The plans released Thursday provide instruction on how to carry out the preservation efforts developed by federal officials with input from states, industries and conservationists.
Initial reactions Thursday were widely positive, though many are still reviewing how the large and detailed guidelines address issues such as oil and gas development and grazing in specific sage grouse breeding areas.
"[The BLM] came out with what we feel were some strong conservation plans a year ago," said Bruce Pendery, energy and climate policy specialist with The Wilderness Society. "This is another step in that process of how are we going to get down to brass tacks."
The plans are effective immediately, but realistically it will take time to establish them on the ground as federal offices around the West make decisions on permitting and drilling on public lands, he said.
"These instruction will help put BLM on a better path to fulfilling the plans, make them come to fruition," Pendery said. "That said, one of the things we will be doing is monitoring how well different field offices are implementing them…That will be our job, to track these things and make sure they are put into practice."
Not all groups are pleased with the BLM's approach to the bird's conservation on public lands, where a large number of companies operate.
"The [guidelines] include arbitrary prioritization of leases and permits, no matter how much companies have done to protect sage grouse," Kathleen Sgamma, vice president of government and public affairs for Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement.
The federal regulations ignore responsible energy development on public lands, she said.
"This is another example of draconian federal measures that ignore actual on-the-ground measures that states, counties, landowners and companies are already doing to conserve the species," she said. "No credit is given for the fact that companies have reduced potential impact by 70 percent and the other protections that they've put in place."
Keeping with energy, according to the Denver Post, two power plants on Colorado's Western Slope will shut down by 2025, citing challenges brought by a decline in coal and the cost of retrofitting to meet emission standards:
Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, a cooperative based in Westminster, will retire the 100-megawatt, coal-fired Nucla Station in western Montrose County by the end of 2022. The nearby New Horizon Mine, which feeds the plant with coal, will also cease operations and undergo reclamation.
Tri-State also operates three coal-fired units at Craig Station, two of which it owns in conjunction with the Yampa Project, a partnership that also includes PacifiCorp, Platte River Power Authority, Salt River Project, and Public Service Company of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy.
By the end of 2025, Yampa Project will retire Unit 1, a 427-megawatt coal-fired plant built in 1980. Units 2 and 3 will continue to operate, but with added emissions control equipment to stay in compliance.
"Tri-State has worked tirelessly to preserve our ability to responsibly use coal to produce reliable and affordable power, which makes the decision to retire a coal-fired generating unit all the more difficult," Tri-State CEO Mike McInnes said in a statement. "We are not immune to the challenges that face coal-based electricity across the country."
In the end, it was more cost-effective to retire the two plants rather than retrofit them with equipment to comply with stricter emission requirements, Tri-State said.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment told the Post the agreement will cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly four million tons a year, which will contribute to the department's other goal of improving air quality and visibility. CDPHE chief Dry. Larry Wolk was pleased with the outcome, but acknowledged the short-term job loss tempered his enthusiasm. While Craig Station Unit 1 will have little to no impact, the Montrose County closures will "hit Nucla and Naturita hard."

Garrosh's Poetry Challenge revisted
So, with the calendar about to roll over into April, you know what that means – National Poetry Month!
And you know what National Poetry Month means – Garrosh's Poetry Challenge!
For those of you who weren't reading the blog at this time last year…well, first of all, WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU? But, letting that slide for the moment (but JUST for the moment, so don't get too comfy), let me explain. Last year, in honor of National Poetry month, I stepped up to the plate to crank out a month's worth of EPIC VERSE, all inspired by reader suggestions. The poems were kind of a mixed bag – which is to say, they were varying degrees of SPECTACULAR FREAKING GENIUS. Just as you would expect from your Warchief. Locks in Socks seemed to go over pretty well, for one.
Anyway. I want to do another poetry challenge this year to commemorate the month, but I also want to mix it up a little and not just repeat what I did last year. Plus, there's so much going on around here what with the Alliance and the mogu and the Divine Bell, I don't know if I can spare the time to set aside two days a week for poetry. BRILLIANT THOUGH IT IS.
So here's this year's plan. I'm still going to be offering up some EPIC VERSE drawing on reader suggestions, but this time around, I'm going to go about it a little differently. Hold on to your ass for this one.
Two words: live blogging.
That's right, I'm going to live blog EPIC VERSE, and you're all invited to watch it being composed right before your eyes, line by line. Or couplet by couplet…stanza by…oh, fuck it, you'll get to see it being written incrementally in SOME configuration depending on what I come up with at the time, okay?!
So here's how this is going to work. Two weeks from today – SUNDAY, APRIL 14 – I'll put up a post in the early evening to set the stage for the live blog. Everyone will be invited to leave comments on that post with EPIC VERSE suggestions. It could be a topic, a theme, a character you'd like to see, a turn of phrase – anything you can come up with that will give me something to work with and get the ol' creative juices flowing. Then, at 8 PM EST, I'll start the live blog, and you'll be able to see what I come up with as I compose my newest masterpiece live before your eyes, based on at least one, possibly more, of your suggestions.
Remember, save your ideas for the big night – don't post your suggestions now, because part of the point of it all is to see what I can come up with when I get your ideas dropped on me that night with no time to prepare. Otherwise, though…be thinking of ideas, and clear your schedule on the night of April 14 – EPIC VERSE AWAITS.

Will that be EST, or EDT?
Also, why is it Everlook Standard Time to begin with, since Orgrimmar is the biggest city in that time zone?
If I remember correctly, each settlement used to be on their own local time, but when the goblins started setting up the auction houses and zeppelin systems they divided Azeroth into standardized time zones to make the schedules less confusing to calculate. Of course, they named most of the time zones after their own settlements, because a) they were the ones who cared most about such things, and b) as a diplomatic measure. (Org wouldn't want to recognize "Stormwind Standard Time" and vice versa.) Gradually the system caught on and took over, because it was a pain in the ass to be told your shipment was arriving at 4 pm Everlook Standard Time and miss the delivery because they arrived half an hour earlier than you expected, forcing you to pay their outrageous late fees and missed pick up fines for the release of your goods.
Yeah, EDT, because who the hell can stay on top of whatever abbreviation the goblins are insisting on this week?
Yay! It's been too long since we've seen epic verse.
OMG I so don't want to miss this – if I can ever figure out what time it is…
What time zone are you in? (Damn those goblins for making things complicated…)
I'm in Central time zone with the kicker that we don't do DST so I never really know what time it is anywhere that does DST. 😛
If I'm doing my mental math correctly, I think that would have the live blog starting at 6 PM your time, with the initial topic-inviting post going up a little ways before that.
Thanks! I'll start checking in around 5:00 pm or so – don't want to miss a minute of Epic Verse!

—D.Richardson August 10, 2016
An all around great person and a great agent to work with. She gets back to you promptly on any and all questions. Allison is an individual who seeks an answer out for you even before you may ask it. Someone who you can trust and someone who you know will work for you. Thank you Allison!"
— February 16, 2017
My husband and I loved working with Allison! The biggest reason why I would recommend Allison Luce is because she was always determined about getting us a house, even when we would look at a house and it wouldn't be what we were hoping for or the seller accepted a different offer. When those sort of negative events happened she would always put a positive spin on it and we would have hope in finding a house again! The type of action that she took to find us a house that required more work than just looking on-line is posting a post on Facebook asking her friends if they were selling their house or knew anyone who was. If that didn't work she was going to make flyers explaining the same type of information that was on her Facebook post, which luckily worked! As a result of Allison's determination we were able to buy a great house to raise our little family in! I strongly believe that no matter your situation, who you are, or type of houses you are looking for Allison will be able to find what you want!"
—V.Taylor August 14, 2016
Allison was very friendly and made the buying process fun ! She worked quickly and made us aware of changes in our process in a very timely manner ! Allison was aware of what we wanted and showed us lots of really nice homes . I would highly recommend her to a friend or family member !"

Easy to work with and helped me through the entire process! She was always prompt and answered any questions I had. Allison answered my questions via phone, email, and text. She is very easy to stay in contact with. I highly recommend Allison!"
— February 16, 2017

— November 2, 2016
Allison was very knowledgeable and very friendly. When we wanted to look at a house, we usually got to see it that day! My husband and I loved working with Allison and have recommended her to our friends."
— December 4, 2016
Allison helped show us the light at the end of a long tunnel. She gave us a positive direction to help us reach a goal of purchasing our dream house. Allison was there every step of the way. Her knowledge of her craft is amazing. We absolutely love working with her. Allison has compassion, patience and perseverance in everything she does. We strongly recommend Allison Luce to anyone that is looking to sell or buy their home."
—M.Noe December 6, 2016
Professional with a personal touch. Allison helped my wife and I find the home of our dreams and make that a reality. She was able to provide us with suggestions along the way and put us in touch with a great finance company that held our hand though the process. We couldn't be any happier with the over the top service received or the quickness in which we were able to make this move happen. We will spend many years living in this home providing the space and life style that we dreamed of for our family. If you are considering a realtor for selling or purchasing I highly suggest you contact Allison."
—D.Noe December 6, 2016
Allison made the experience of finding and purchasing a home as easy as I could have imagined. Her willingness to make time to reply to emails and schedule appointments to view homes was impressive. Even more impressive than this, however, was her ability to explain the process and walk us through a daunting task. My wife and I are now first-time homeowners because of Allison's efforts and we could not be happier.
This review asks how likely I am to recommend Allison. "Highly likely" isn't precisely the correct answer. "Already have" is the correct answer!"
—H.Spaeth December 22, 2016
Allison has a great customer service attitude. She is friendly and prompt and has always delivered what we needed when we needed it. At times I have relied on her for answers to questions outside her area, when I didn't know who else to contact at her company, and she always came through."
—S.Arnett September 27, 2012
If you are looking for an agent that will be upfront, honest, and hard working then Allison is your person. Allison uses the program out in the industry to market your listing and get your home sold fast. If your a buyer she will make sure your making the right choice and don't feel pressured to buy. So do yourself a huge favor and call Allison for your next real estate transaction."
—Shane Marzullo June 17, 2015
Allison made our selling experience a fantastic one. Proactive, flexible and diligent; Allison enabled us to be hands off while our house sold more quickly than I had ever expected. Thanks Allison!"

"Allison was terrific. In a strong seller's market, she was tenacious in setting up showings, making offers, and helping us find our home. We experienced a couple of significant disappointments in being outbid for houses we wanted to buy, and each time she was encouraging and had more suggestions for other options or possibilities to make the offers stronger. She spent hours of her time--often on short notice because of the nature of the market--showing us literally dozens of houses. In addition, she is funny and personable, which made the whole experience very positive."

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2018 for approximately $150K in Delta, OH.
"We chose to work with Allison a second time.
3 years ago she was our agent in the purchase of our home. In that transaction she did make some errors that caused us some bad financial consequences. However at that time she was very new to real estate.
This year we decided to sell our home In Sylvania Ohio and we purchased a home in Delta, Ohio. We chose to give her a second chance. She is a likeable and energetic person to work with and I believed that she may have acquired the expertise to do a good job for us this time around.
I have been so very disappointed and feel I let my family down by choosing to work with her.
It only takes a few moments to look at her social media to see what her focus is. It is flaming emojis, flashing lights and bragging that she got a home into contract in a day. And also her incentive trips to the Bahamas. Regardless of the cost to her client.
In our experience she pushed "the sale" she did not negotiate well for us at all. Many times she ignored messages and calls and several times she adamantly argued with us when we presented to her what we wanted to counter offer with. I believe a good agent should offer professional advice and present their clients with options but not "text argue" for hours with a clients' wishes. It seemed to us that she was afraid to lose "the sale" our goal was to get the right price for our home. It took us 24 hours to convince her to present our offer and the buyer responded in 15 minutes. We are certain money was left on the table but we were exasperated with OUR agent. Our home sold quickly but for 5,000 under asking price. In this market that is terrible.
In our home purchase there were issues with the septic field and drainage on the property. Allison told me that she told the listing agent that she could not believe that there were issues because of how "immaculately this house was kept". This was so frustrating because immaculate houses do not have rust stains and fire damage to the carpet. We already knew we would have to replace a majority of the flooring. During the septic inspections Allison neglected to write an addendum so that we could not negotiate a reasonable term to buy this home. When I questioned her about it she refused to do it.
During the inspections she actually told me she knows nothing about septic and drainage issues and said flatly
"I don't have to!"
I would highly advise against using her in any rural area. We were not able to counter offer and she actually threatened that if we backed out we could be sued by the seller. We felt very backed up against a wall.
Using her as an agent has been a detriment to our family and I certainly hope that she soon realizes that people (clients) and their homes (life-time investments) are more important than incentives, bragging on Facebook and sales goals."

Oh Yes Mr. Postman!!
Finally Friday...It is really Friday!
This was the longest day in my life. Oh hecky yes I really didn't think I'd get through the week. Enough moaning! Mr. Postman, my favorite man in the world, brought some beautiful yarn to the cottage on S.I. I think I will set myself up with some delish Margaritas and start working on a new shawl. Is it for me or maybe a Christmas present...well time will tell! Here is the very delicate icy yarn draped over my dining room chair waiting to be rolled up. The yarn is so soft I can not wait to start in...oh boy!
Good thing the Lola Monster isn't around...she loves to snatch yarn and run around like a maniac. There she is looking to see what to grab..hmm cake? Bag of yarn or finished shawl..
Enjoy the weekend!

Kiwi Fruit Market - New Zealand Is the Global Leading Kiwi Fruit ExporterTropical And Subtropical Fruits September 23, 2015
New Zealand continued its dominance in the global kiwi fruit trade. In 2014, New Zealand exported 392 thousand tonnes of kiwi fruit totaling 833 million USD, 26% over the previous year. Its primary trading partner on the global kiwi fruit market was Japan, where it supplied 24% of its total kiwi fruit exports in value terms, accounting for 95% of Japan's total imports.
Overall, the global kiwi fruit trade reached 2,246 million USD, with a CAGR of 5% from 2007 to 2014. In physical terms, it showed growth, rising from 1,150 thousand tonnes in 2007 to 1,181 thousand tonnes in 2014.
In 2014, Japan (9%), Germany (9%), Belgium (9%), China (9%) and Spain (9%) were the leading destinations of kiwi fruit imports, together making up 45% of global imports. The share of China increased (+8 percentage points), while the share of Germany illustrated negative dynamics (-5 percentage points).
Italy and Belgium were among the other main global suppliers of kiwi fruit in 2014 with a combined 38% share of global exports.

"Part of who we are is trying to be political without being partisan; principled but not ideological; civil but not soft; engaged but not used." This is how John Carr, director of Georgetown University's Catholic Social Thought Initiative, described the goal of the pro-life movement while moderating a panel at the Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life last Saturday.
Held each year on the Saturday after the March for Life in Washington, D.C., this student-run conference features a keynote address from a prominent pro-life speaker, a series of breakout sessions, a panel discussion on the conference's theme and a Mass for life.
The theme of this year's conference was "working towards a truly pro-life politics," a topic that has received a lot of attention this week in light of the controversy surrounding President Trump's executive orders regarding the Mexico City policy and the temporary immigration ban.
Reggie Littlejohn, the founder and president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers (WRWF)—an international coalition to fight forced abortion, gendercide and sexual slavery in China—gave the keynote address. After taking on the case of a Chinese Christian woman seeking political asylum, Mrs. Littlejohn learned of the abortions and sterilization forced upon women across China to maintain the country's one-child policy. Mrs. Littlejohn left her job as a corporate lawyer to devote her life to this issue.
Mrs. Littlejohn presented powerful information about a facet of the pro-life movement that receives little attention from many domestic pro-life organizations, setting the stage for attendees to consider the many pro-life perspectives that must come together to achieve a "truly pro-life politics."
Breakout sessions followed on a variety of life issues, including the political history of the pro-life movement in America, medical ethics concerning end of life issues and Catholic teaching on the death penalty.
Daniel Williams, author of Defenders of the Unborn: The Pro-Life Movement before Roe v. Wade, presented a lecture on the history of the pro-life movement, revealing that the early movement allied itself with the political left and that our pro-life ideology originated from a liberal view of human rights.
In addition, Nancy Valko, who has worked as both a hospice and an ICU nurse, spoke on the importance of mercy and compassion when treating the terminally ill. She writes a blog called "A Nurse's Perspective on Life, Healthcare and Ethics."
"It's a very short step from 'I don't want to live like that' to 'No one should live like that,'" Ms. Valko explained. "It is so seductive."
Alexandra Carroll and Alex Kelly of the Catholic Mobilizing Network presented workshops on both the practical reasons to oppose the death penalty as well as the philosophical opposition to capital punishment supported by Catholic teaching. "To be truly Catholic and truly pro-life, it's all life, not just certain lives," said Karen Clifton, another representative of the network in attendance.
The afternoon featured a remarkably balanced and interesting panel, including Ross Douthat, author and op-ed columnist for the New York Times; Kim Daniels of the Vatican's Secretariat for Communications; Charles Camosy, author and associate professor of theological and social ethics at Fordham University; and Roberta L. Bayer, associate professor of political philosophy at Patrick Henry College.
Dr. Carr began by asking the panelists where they see the pro-life movement heading, to which Ms. Daniels cautioned the pro-life movement to reign in their optimism about having both a pro-life Congress and presidential administration: "We may win some judicial and legislative battles, but we have to be careful that we don't lose the war."
She stressed the importance of building a culture that supports life by supporting women and children, and she expressed uneasiness over having President Trump as the de facto leader of the pro-life movement, saying he lacks credibility and is unlikely to treat pro-life issues with proper nuance.
Prof. Camosy urged the audience and his fellow panelists to remember that the pro-life movement has changed dramatically over the years. He suggested that the more President Trump disappoints "the compassionate," voters who voted for him based on his pro-life policies but hold different views on treatment of refugees, immigrant and other embattled groups, the more he sets the stage for a "pro-life 3.0" that would transcend party lines.
Mr. Douthat said that a truly pro-life politics would need to recognize first the distinctiveness of abortion in the range of moral issues around which pro-life policy might be organized. As it is the direct taking of innocent human life, he said, it needs to be seen as a singular injustice.
Politically, the pro-life movement has experienced a practical party switch since its inception. What began, Prof. Camosy said, as part of a liberal agenda is now a major plank of the Republican platform. Mr. Douthat commented that while the pro-life movement has achieved astonishing success by aligning itself with a single party, it should not allow that to be a sort of ceiling; it needs to grow from having successful influence over one party to having some influence over the other as well.
The panelists also discussed an area of overlap between pro-life and pro-choice feminists: family policy. Mr. Douthat pointed this out as a space where a successful domestic policy agenda could persuade people that a more pro-life society is possible.
"We need to build up a community of solidarity devoted to being pro-life," said Dr. Carr in his concluding remarks, "and an event like this is one of the most inspirational ways to do that."
Audience members and panelists alike were pleased with the panel.
"It showed diverse perspectives within the pro-life movement and addressed issues fairly and openly and without partisan rancor," said Prof. Camosy panel.
"I think out of the institutions that I'm involved in in different ways, from the Republican party to the Catholic Church, the pro-life movement actually weirdly seems to have the most internal unity among people who are activists." Mr. Douthat added, "Now once you get into the level of politicians, it becomes a very different matter. But I think in general what you heard at the panel was a very real pro-life consensus that unfortunately doesn't always get translated into politics."
The Cardinal O'Connor Conference was attended by students from across the country, including groups from Saint Louis University High School, the Sisters of Life, Marquette University, St. Joseph's Seminary and the University of Dayton.
"I am hoping that the students in attendance are going to be on fire and are going to bring that fire back across the country to all of their respective schools and not just sort of let it die down." Ms. Littlejohn said, "They need to be lights in the darkness in their sphere of influence, whether it's their family, their friends, or their school, and to keep active, not just let the whole thing drop."

Can I be honest for a minute? I hope you're saying yes...because I'm bringing some honesty either way!
I always start the year with loads of goals and intentions to start 100 different "totally amazing" and "super cool" and "most creative" ideas ever. Care to take a guess about how many of those things I actually carry through during the year? If you guessed between one and two, then you're correct.
This year...I want to focus on just ONE thing. One intention. One change .
This year's focus is on adding more digital instruction to my school day.
Now we all know about good goal setting, right? Goals should be SMART.
Time Bound
Here's my plan for making this happen!
Why am I so insistent on getting this whole train rolling anyway? FIRST, my whole school is going 1:1 next year. I am so excited because we will have a SmartBoard, 1:1 Chromebooks and Apple TV. I also own a few iPads of my own to add to the mix. Why would I let this great technology go to waste?
Also, I believe that integrating technology purposefully is the perfect way to boost students' career and college readiness skills. You may not know but I also teach at the local community college. I hate to say it but I feel as though a lot of these students were not prepared to use technology as college-level students. I hope to instill a love of technology for learning in my students and support them in learning HOW to use technology to purposefully.
So what's the big deal? It can be HARD to change the way you do things. And...TIME. Right??
Along with all other things worth doing, it takes WORK to make it happen. Besides modifying my curriculum to be technology-driven, I have to change my routines. My procedures. My current practices in grading, editing, etc. There's so much to think through!
That's why I'm starting with only ONE area. Let's check in on some SMART goals for getting started with using Chromebooks or other technology in your classroom.
If you're anything like me, you're going to try to jump right in and implement technology in all subject areas. I've tried that. I failed. I've now refocused my energy. I will implement my Chromebooks specifically in my independent reading time (or Daily 5). I'm going to rework my current independent work to fit in with technology.
Close Reads?
Does your school use a digital reading service (MackinVia)? Ask your librarian if there's a way that students can annotate text in the reader and send it to you via Google Docs or another platform. I found out that we have that capability and my paper/pencil close reads will be decreased. Alternatively, you could use NewsELA for free to work through close reads.
Reading Response?
Easy!! Create a template, share it with students, or teach them how to build it themselves. Have students respond and share it to you at the end of the day/week/etc.
Word Work?
Think of how you can use Google Slides to create interactive vocabulary work. Can students add pictures from the internet to define the word? Can they edit colors and manipulate text to demonstrate understanding? What can they do with the words to show that they understand the context?
Writing can be so rich in a digital environment. You can create templates. You can share photos IN COLOR. You can teach digital revising. You can even share text and mark it up together on the screen. Of course, there's always free writes too!
How will I measure my success in achieving this goal? Well...I will set a goal that for the first month, one of my activities is digital. The second month, three of them will be digital. The third month, all 5 of my activities will be digital. The step-by-step increase will help me not feel so overwhelmed. If you picked an activity to implement first, which one would it be? Start there.
Is this achievable? For me, yes. However, it's not for everyone. If you don't feel comfortable creating digital projects yourself, seek out sellers who produce digital products for the classroom. There are some amazing sellers out there who have awesome digital projects. Some of them are linked here for you and you can check out there projects in the link up!
What's realistic for my classroom may not be realistic for you. Maybe the whole Daily 5 block is too much for you. Can you implement something smaller? One read aloud? One read and respond? One math project? Morning quick writes? What makes sense for you?
My time frame here is to be done implementing digital activities in my Daily 5 block by the end of the first trimester. This is going to keep me on track. What would be an appropriate amount of time for you?
So, I hope this helped you figure out ways to think through tackling the technology overwhelm! Do you have plans to integrate more technology next year? I'd love to chat about your plans!

Investigative Report Not Entirely Privileged
John Caher
New York Law Journal
Large portions of an internal investigatory report prepared by a criminal defense law firm are not shielded by either the attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine because the founder of a mall development at the center of a RICO action granted a lengthy newspaper interview generally discussing issues contained in the report, a federal jurist has found.
But Northern District U.S. Magistrate Judge Randolph F. Treece said the plaintiffs are entitled only to a redacted version and may not obtain key information -- the identity of an alleged perpetrator -- that was not already disclosed to the press.
Magistrate Judge Treece's ruling in Lugosch v. Congel, 00-CV-0784, arises in the context of a protracted lawsuit where minority partners of Pyramid Cos. allege that they were defrauded by insiders. The case, which has been ongoing for a number of years and proceeded through what Treece termed a "larger than life discovery process," was brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO).
Although the matter involves myriad issues, the one most recently addressed by Treece stems from a March 2003 investigative report prepared by the criminal defense firm Stein, Mitchell and Mezines of Washington, D.C. The firm was hired in August 2002 by a defendant to investigate irregularities with regard to tax bills in Syracuse, one of several cities where Pyramid developed shopping malls.
According to court papers, the Carousel Center, a Syracuse mall, pays what is calls a "pilot bill" in lieu of normal taxes. That expense is passed along to tenants.
Concern arose when one major tenant, The Limited, a clothing store, challenged the mall's calculation of its allocable share of the pilot bills. An audit revealed that The Limited had been provided with phony pilot bills. Plaintiffs allege that Pyramid was providing tenants with false tax documents, thereby collecting more from the tenant than was owed to and turned over to the taxing authority. Once confronted by The Limited, Pyramid Cos. promptly refunded $817,763.
One of the defendants, Moselle Associates, a majority partner, then retained Robert F. Muse of Stein, Mitchell and Mezines to investigate why a fake pilot bill was created, and by whom. The plaintiffs -- minority partners who claim they were cheated or shortchanged by Pyramid Cos. -- learned of the so-called "Muse Report" and moved for discovery.
In July, Muse agreed to provide a redacted report, with the understanding that he was not waiving the privilege. The matter then arrived on Treece's desk for a determination of whether the Muse Report is indeed privileged.
In a 21-page decision, the magistrate judge explored the underpinnings and status of both attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine. He noted, as found by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (see In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 219 F.3d 175 [2000]), that the work-product shield is broader than the attorney-client privilege, and that it protects "attorneys' mental impressions, opinions, or legal theories concerning litigation."
However, he also said that privilege is not absolute and can be waived, either intentionally or inadvertently. For instance Treece noted, the "courts have recognized an exception to the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine for communications between lawyers and clients that are designed to facilitate or even conceal the commission of a crime or fraud."
Here, the plaintiffs sought the Muse Report under the crime or fraud exception, but Treece, after reviewing the report in camera, said he was "unable to detect even the hint" that the report was being used to facilitate or perpetuate a fraud or crime. He said the plaintiffs already have the entire report, except for the name and gender of the person who allegedly prepared the fake pilot bill.
"All that is missing from plaintiffs' redacted version is a name, which may help fill in the dots as to what occurred and possibly by who, but under no stretch of the imagination does the report" meet the requirements for a crime fraud exception, Treece said.
More troubling, though, were interviews granted by the defendants, especially Pyramid Cos. founder Robert J. Congel. Congel, in a newspaper interview with The Syracuse Post-Standard, acknowledged the problem with the pilot bill, admitted that there was a settlement and disclosed that there had been an investigation.
"Based upon these revelations, is the court required to deem them waived and thus provide the last bit of information from this report, a name, to plaintiffs?" Treece asked. "The court thinks not."
The magistrate judge said revealing the name would "cause a significant firestorm and all efforts to avoid it are readily justifiable." He did make clear, however, that the targeted individual is not one of the defendants, but if it had been his "conclusion would be remarkably different."
Treece said the defendants waived attorney-client and work-product privileges only to the extent of Congel's statements to The Post-Standard.
Among the lead attorneys are David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner for the plaintiffs, and Paul Ware of Goodwin Proctor in Boston for the defendants.
