Who we are
That's us! And our three children: Chase, Cassidy, and Cara. We, Chad and Amy Andrews, are 3rd generation fruit growers from St.Thomas, PA. Our 84 acre farm rests in the valley below the Kittatinny Ridge where the soil is prime for raising the best tasting tree fruit, including cherries, apricots, plums, nectarines, donut peaches, peaches, pears, and apples. Committed to quality-over-quantity farming practices, we have invested time and resources to keep the land healthy and sustainable for the next generation. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) growing practices, which includes the monitoring of pests through scouting and trapping, to keep chemical use to a minimum. All peaches and nectarines are spot-picked at perfect ripeness to ensure optimum flavor!

Apparently, some fossils can be altered by geological processes, leading to mistaken identification:
“While it holds true sponges are the only living organism which can produce these steroids, chemical processes can mimic biology and transform common and abundant algae sterols into ‘animal’ sterols,” he said.
“These molecules can be generated in the lab when simulating geological time and temperatures, but we also showed such processes did happen in ancient rocks.”Australian National University, “True origin of oldest evidence of animals” at ScienceDaily
This find, if it checks out, leaves more time for the evolution of algae but less for the evolution of animals. Which returns the Cambrian explosion to its “remarkable” status.

One of the local Chinese regulators urges Tesla, one of the world’s biggest electric automaker company, to control their product quality in the country.
The response came after an incident at the Shanghai auto show that involves a Chinese woman who was unhappy with Tesla customer service, which prompted the company to issue a rare apology.
The Chinese state local media said on late Wednesday that the Tesla’s public apology was not sincere as the electric company remains under pressure in the country over safety concerns.
Last Monday, a Chinese woman climbed on top of a Tesla vehicle in protest over the company’s way of handling her complaints about a malfunctioning brake in one of its car.
The video showed the woman wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words that says, “The brakes don’t work.” She also shouted accusations while staff and security attempted to pacify the crowd.
Tesla issued a public apology on Tuesday to the Chinese consumers for failing to address a customer’s complaint in a timely manner and said they will launch a review of its service operations.
But that fell short according to local state news media. “A big company should have the responsibility of being a company, no company can do whatever it wants,” the Xinhua news agency said.
If Tesla fails to rectify the problems that they have with their vehicles, then they will make the same mistakes. Tesla plans to address the growing safety concerns by focusing on service operations to eliminate defects.
Tesla have been under fire over security issues which prompted China military to ban their models from entering military bases and housing compounds because of the built-in cameras that can be used for spying.
Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of Tesla and SpaceX, said that any data collected in China will be stored in the country, respectively.
The electric automaker enjoyed one of the biggest, explosive growth in the auto market last quarter where they sold more than 184,000 electric vehicles.

Magic the Gathering – As you probably know if you're a regular reader of the blog, I'm a big fan of EDH (Commander). My play group has embraced this and Cube as THE way we play magic. Both formats are fun and I had a blast sorting through cards to build the Cube.
With different resonsibilites and availabilities the turn out for each weeks game night can be pretty varied. Which is cool because we get different dynamics from week to week and thing don't get to stale.
Recently we ended our game night on a bit of a sour note. The night started off well enough with everyone playing their favorite decks and control of the table swinging back and forth between all the players. The first two games were a ton of fun. Even though the second game got to be a bit oppressive due to Rise of the Dark Realms, Recover and Eternal Witness doing the dosie do drawing out all the mass removal spells and then going to town killing everyone slowly.
The third game we played was when things got awkward. Everything was going smooth with the guy that won the last game taking earlier beats per the norm. Right up until he was able to set up an Avacyn + Nevineral's Disk hard lock. We let him do his thing of killing everything on the board for a little while to see if anyone could draw into some form of exile, permanent theft or -x/-x. When it became obvious that wasn't going to happen I asked the table if anyone had anything in their deck that could remove his lock. When the answer came back no, I suggested we all scoop and play another game, since the result was inevitable at that point.
The result of that suggestion was some mumbling about not putting that on the table again and watch checking to just call it a night early. Overall it was an uncomfortable way to end our weeky game night.
Now don't get me wrong I love combos and crazy board states and some of the super powerful thing you can do in Commander as a format. A quick combo that kills the table means we can play another game right away. A hard lock that makes it so nobody else can play while you slowly plink away at each opponent drags the game on and honestly nobody likes to watch their opponent play magic by them self.
Have you ever had this happen during one of your games and if so how'd you deal with it?

Cast: Karthikeya, Neha Shetty, Ajay Ghosh, Raj Kumar, Srikanth Iyengar, Goparaju Ramana, LB Sriram, Satya
Music by: Mani Sharma
Production Company: Laukya Entertainments
Producer: Ravindra Banerjee (Benny)
Cinematography: Sai Prakash
Release Date: August 25, 2023
Fronted by Kartikeya Gummakonda, ‘Bedurulanka 2012’ takes you through a whirlwind directed by the fresh talent, Clax. Neha Shetty adds charm as the lead actress, supported by a strong ensemble cast. Set against a village backdrop during an epoch’s end, Karthikeya’s confidence in this film was palpable during pre-launch events. Has it met expectations upon its release? Let’s dive into this review and find out.
In the quaint village of Bedurulanka, as the year 2012 rolls in, a story begins to unfold. Picture this: Shiva Sankara Varaprasad (played by the dashing Kartikeya) finds himself in this village, having left the bustling city behind due to a job loss. His reason? He’s head over heels for the lovely Neha Shetty.
But wait, there’s more drama. The village is abuzz with whispers of a looming apocalypse. So, a trio from this village comes up with a rather quirky solution. Their plan is that taking all the village gold, crafting a shivalingam, and then immersing it in the sacred Ganges could be the magic spell to halt the apocalypse. Interesting, right? But here’s the catch: Shiva isn’t on board with this plan. And how Shiva juggles village politics and foils this plan and finally finds his love is the crux of the story.
Karthikeya shines once more, proving his versatility as Shiva. He brings energy and finesse, especially in action scenes. Neha Shetty, although in a brief role, captivates audiences. Ajay Ghosh delivers a memorable act, with Kota and Srikanth Iyengar leaving lasting impressions. The entire cast commendably plays their parts.
Initiating with an apocalyptic buzz, we feel the palpable tension in Bedurulanka. The story starts off slow but picks up pace post-interval, with engaging plots and comedic elements. However, the romantic subplot between Neha and Karthikeya could’ve used more depth.
Back in 2012, whispers of the world’s end and Earth’s impending doom sent shockwaves of worry among many. Seizing this idea, director Klax masterfully transformed these anxieties into an entertaining cinematic experience. He artfully highlights societal issues, like exploitation in the name of religion, and adds a dash of satire. Clax’s messaging is clear: live life on your terms. For a first-time director, Clax displays a promising touch.
On the technical front, Mani Sharma’s soundtrack is passable. The songs might not be chartbusters, but his background score strikes a chord. Sai Prakash’s cinematography is stellar, and the editing sharpens the narrative. The movie boasts high production values.
Engaging background score
Underdeveloped romantic subplot
In conclusion, ‘BeduruLanka 2012’ offers a mix of engaging elements and potential areas of improvement. It’s worth a watch for those seeking a fresh cinematic experience!

The COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by conundrums. Some people get very sick, others show no symptoms. The old are especially vulnerable, young children are not. Some recover in a few days, others endure long and debilitating symptoms.
Now comes perhaps the most perplexing riddle of this public health crisis: Most are eager to receive a vaccine that will protect them and their community from COVID-19, but others – including one in five North Carolina adults – do not intend to get the shot that will shield them from a virus that has killed half a million Americans.
And within this resistance is yet another contradiction. Opposition is high in very different groups: Black people who mistrust the medical establishment because of past abuses and neglect; and rural white Republicans and evangelicals, who object to what they consider a government overreaction to the pandemic that they see as a push to impose a liberal agenda.
Because of this level of vaccine hesitancy, the nation may not attain the level of immunity – now estimated at 70 to 85 percent of the population – that is needed to vanquish COVID-19. Instead, the virus could continue to spread and potentially mutate in ways that could overcome current vaccine-induced immunity.
North Carolina’s Gov. Roy Cooper and state public health officials have done fine work on pandemic-related restrictions and vaccinations, but now they must find a way to get over the last and daunting hurdle of vaccine hesitancy. The vaccine supply and the number of people vaccinated are growing, but the share of unvaccinated people who want a shot is shrinking.
Cooper noted this inversion last week at a news conference. “I think we’re, pretty quickly, going to reach the point where supply will exceed demand,” he said. “We need to flip it over to make sure we’re encouraging people to get vaccinated.”
A state Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) survey found that North Carolinians are more open to getting vaccinated than they were in a November DHHS survey. But the survey also found significant resistance among those who are unvaccinated and have no appointment to get a shot.
DHHS is trying to break down vaccine hesitancy by educating the public about how getting vaccinated will help individuals, families and communities. DHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen recently joined the Rev. William J. Barber in getting a shot. Barber, a Goldsboro minister and national advocate for civil rights and the poor, urged lower-income and Black North Carolinians to get vaccinated. “This is about caring for the people around you, about being your brother’s and sisters’ keeper,” he said.
Education about the vaccines’ safety and appeals to conscience may be effective with those who doubt the safety of the vaccines. Public health and political leaders may have a harder time getting conservative white evangelicals to roll up their sleeves for the shot.
Jason Byler, pastor at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Rolesville, said he is not opposed to vaccines but he is resistant to taking a new vaccine being pushed by the government after a year of other pandemic restrictions. “They’re taking away more and more of our freedoms,” he told the Editorial Board. “It’s part of a political move on the part of progressives and communists.”
For now, government and community leaders can try to persuade the hesitant and unwilling to get vaccinated. But if the resistance is substantial enough that it threatens the state and nation’s ability to reach safe levels of immunity, more direct measures may arise.
Airlines may require proof of vaccination before passengers can fly. More colleges might require it for students on campus. Some events might require it for admission. Freedom needs to be honored and no one should be forced to get vaccinated. But every effort should be made to persuade vaccine resisters to get a shot for their benefit, for the protection of others, and to help us beat this virus.

The Syfy series Incorporated airs on November 30th.
If you’ve been looking forward to the upcoming Syfy series Incorporated, but you just can’t wait another couple of weeks to see the first episode for the series, then today is your lucky day. Syfy has put the full first episode, titled ‘Vertical Mobility,’ up for your viewing pleasure.
I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, but I’ve been pretty interested in what I’ve been hearing so far, so I’m definitely going to make the time in the next day or two. If anyone has a chance to watch it, let us know that you think in the comments below:
(However, please refrain from sharing just how awesome Dennis Haysbert is in the series because I’m looking forward to finding that out on my own. On a scale of hot sauce to high-fives, I’m guessing it’s somewhere around a double thumbs up.)
Original Post 8-3-16: Dennis Haysbert Discusses Syfy Series Incorporated
Back in February, Syfy greenlit Alex and Dave Pastor’s dystopian near-future science fiction series Incorporated. The series, executive produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and starring Sean Teale, Eddie Ramos, Dennis Haysbert and Julia Ormond, got a thirteen episode order for the first season. Since then, we’ve got some teasers, more recently a trailer, and now, thanks to Deadline’s coverage of TCA, we’ve got a release date (November 30th) and more information on the character Dennis Haysbert will be playing in the Syfy series Incorporated, including his thoughts on the subject matter of the show.
Synopsis for Syfy Series Incorporated
For those not familiar with the show, here’s a quick synopsis:
Set in a future where companies have seemingly unlimited power,Incorporated centers around Ben Larson, a young executive who risks everything to infiltrate the all-controlling corporate world and save the woman he loves. In the process, he will take on the entire system — with deadly consequences.
Dennis Haysbert’s Role in Incorporated
First, when discussing the split zone system of the show, a luxurious Green Zone for the super-elite and well-off and the poverty-stricken Red Zone for everyone else, Haysbert said that he felt this sort of division was something that we’re definitely headed for, and that though we’re not quite there, we’re only a “few misplaced politicians” or other crazy events away.
Later in the discussion, he dug a little deeper into how he’s personally connecting with the story. “I have children, so I’m constantly worrying about the world they are going to inherit. Intolerance of people, against other people, is growing….This had been going on for years, and what we are doing now is pulling back the veil.” He added that he believes nothing will change until we learn to be more tolerant, and “learn that we are all one, our DNA is the same, we’re all human beings.”
“I think the first time ‘white’ was used was in the 1600s,” Haysbert added. “Generally, we were described by where we came from… All of a sudden this word ‘white’ came through, and now everyone is going for their own sense of power.. to figure out who’s on top. There is always that 1% who looked down upon everyone else and kept us fighting each other. Until we figure that out and stop, this is where we’re headed.”
Regarding his character on the show, the brutal and effective Head of Security for one of the corporations, Haysbert revealed that while his character is definitely someone to be feared, “you’ll also see a lot of compassion out of this man. He is a man who is trying to protect his family.”
Trailers for Syfy Series Incorporated
I don’t know about you, but Haysbert definitely looks menacing in the trailers, and his voice is soaked in authority. The series is currently set for a Wednesday, November 30th debut. So, what do you think? Are you looking forward to Syfy series Incorporated? Do you think they’ll jettison what could be a meaningful discussion of class division in favor of flashy action and thrills?

From the Healthcare & Life Sciences Institute
Regulatory mandates in the United States are changing the way medical device manufacturers identify and provide data about their products.
Regulations have been enacted and are phasing in over the next three years in an effort to improve device safety, facilitate access to device attributes and provide device attribute data that promotes the device’s use. Similar to the pharmaceutical industry and serializations regulations, the medical device industry faces challenges to promote patient safety.
However, the challenges faced by medical device manufacturers are not related to counterfeiting or product adulteration, but rather are associated with the complexity and risk inherent in these important, life-saving and/or life-changing products.
In addition, transformation is occurring within the area of post-market surveillance of medical devices, specifically adverse event reporting, device registration, and recording and accounting of transactional data.
This document provides an overview of the U.S. FDA Unique Device Identification Ruling and the cross-functional challenges organizations will face as they seek to achieve UDI compliance.

The Nissan Altima is a midsize sedan that can work as an everyday commuter, long-distance ride, and family vehicle. It’s one of Nissan’s steadiest performers and is known for getting the job done. As for its resale value, CarEdge.com reports that a Nissan Altima will depreciate 59% after 5 years. It’s recommended to get the 2018 model year for the best value.
Are Nissan Altimas Reliable?
The Nissan Altima has done pretty well on all major reliability ratings. It scored 4.0 out of 5.0 in a RepairPal study, ranking 11th among 24 models in the midsize sedan category. It enjoys a low average yearly cost to repair because it doesn’t experience issues very often. The problems that do crop up are typically easy and inexpensive to fix. Recent model years have also shown improved fuel economy.
It isn’t uncommon to find older Altimas with 200,000 miles logged or more sold in the used car market and still in good condition. As long as you stick to the recommended service schedule and perform maintenance checks regularly, you can get your car to 300,000 miles.
Top Nissan Altima Problems
No vehicle is perfect. Even the reliable Nissan Altima can develop mechanical issues. Understandably, some model years are more problematic than others. Here are the most widely reported problems for different Altima models:
This issue is one of the most common complaints among those who drive the Nissan Altima. While some have reported engine stalling while the car was stationary, many instances have taken place while they were driving on the road.
There are plenty of reasons why an engine could stall, and it’s difficult to pin down the exact cause right away. For the Nissan Altima, one possible cause is a faulty camshaft position or crankshaft position sensor. If either sensor stops sending accurate data to the power control module, the engine may run less efficiently or even die.
In December 2007, Nissan announced a voluntary recall campaign for the 2002, 2005, and 2006 model years fitted with a 2.5-liter engine to replace faulty position sensors on the camshaft and crankshaft.
Catalytic Converter Failure
The Nissan Altima’s catalytic converter cleans the exhaust gases from the engine before releasing them into the environment. When the cat stops working properly, the check engine light on the dashboard will illuminate to warn the driver.
A faulty catalytic converter should be replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, its catalyst materials can get sucked into the engine and damage the latter’s internal parts, adding yet another expensive repair to your list.
The problem is common among model years from 1999 to 2015. However, the automaker hasn’t issued a Nissan Altima recall for any of the affected vehicles.
Fuel Pump Issues
Nissan Altima owners have reported problems with their fuel pump early on. Some of the warning signs they’ve encountered include difficulty starting their engine, excessive vibrations, and stalling while driving at slow speeds.
Nissan issued a recall for the 1991 and 1993 Altima as well as model years from 2001 to 2015 to replace the fuel pump in the affected vehicles.
Some units of the 2019 model have also been recalled because of a poorly locked retainer clip in the fuel pump. This clip attaches the low-pressure fuel hose to the high-pressure fuel pump. If unlocked, it could cause engine stalling, fuel leaks, and increase the risk of a fire.
Engine Doesn’t Start or Runs Rough
Aside from stalling, the Nissan Altima’s engine can also malfunction in other ways. There have been reports of the engine not firing up or running roughly once it did get started. In some cases, the car would suddenly stall on the road and refuse to start. A leak in a faulty distributor powered by the camshaft may also result in the engine not turning despite cranking.
Engine issues are a long-running problem with the Nissan Altima. They first showed up in the 1993 model year and plagued all subsequent year models up to the 2008 Altima. The 2010 and 2015 Nissan Altima also have similar engine problems.
Faulty Engine Seals
Nissan Altima models fitted with the 3.5-liter V6 engine often leak oil from their cooler o-ring. If the leak goes on for long enough, the engine will start making strange noises as the oil pressure level drops.
In this engine, the oil filter directly attaches to the cooler. Carelessly removing the filter and installing a new one can ruin the cooler’s seal, allowing engine oil to leak from the cooler.
Depending on the severity of the leak, you may need to replace the o-ring or the entire oil cooler. To avoid damaging the cooler’s seal, always act with care when you remove or replace the oil filter.
Many owners have complained about Nissan Altima transmission problems, reporting that the continuously variable transmission (CVT) slows down the throttle and causes shuddering or jerking while speeding up. In some cases, the Altima’s transmission outright failed.
Updating the CVT’s software can fix some of the transmission problems for units with either the QR25DE four-cylinder engine or the VQ35DE V6 engine. If the transmission is damaged, some parts may need replacement. In the worst-case scenario, you may have to replace the entire transmission.
Furthermore, the Nissan Altima’s CVT may go into fail-safe mode when its transmission fluid gets too hot. This mode prevents further damage by reducing engine power. However, this can be problematic if it engages while you’re driving up a steep incline.
This problem has been known to affect models from 2007 to 2012. An external transmission cooler can be used to keep the transmission fluid from overheating. But if the CVT is too damaged, it will need repair or replacement.
The Nissan Altima is a solid choice if you’re in the market for a new midsize sedan. If you’re planning to get a used Altima, it’s a good idea to research the most common mechanical issues associated with the model year you’re planning to buy to anticipate the cost of maintaining your vehicle in the years to come.

Wiring diagram for NPN Inductive probe running 6-36 Volts
No doubt you’ve seen posts using resistors with these probes, we found it makes your probe unreliable, we prefer the 5.1 volt Zener diode method as shown above.
**Important** play close attention to the colour codes, these probes use international colour designations.
The signal wire from the probe is black and goes to the green end stop connector via the Zener diode, this limits the output of the probe to 5.1 volts. Pay close attention to the orientation of the Zener – yes the band on the Zener points TO THE PROBE.
The blue wire from the probe is ground and goes to the black ground end stop wire.
You might be thinking why not pick up voltage from end stop pin 3? – because it’s only 5 volts and these probes need at least 6 volts and work best at 12 – 24 volts. Connect the brown wire from your probe to the +volt supply of your printer, usually from an auxiliary connector. You can pick up 12/24 volts directly from your power supply output if you prefer, but double check the voltage first.
Whenever I talk about 3D printing people are always really interested, but they always ask “What can a 3D printer do?”
I’ve created this example from start to finish, hope you enjoy it. Maxz 🙂
I really hate bending down to get the dishwashing liquid out from the cupboard, it would be really nice to have it just here.
Time to hit the cad program, I know 123D is old but it’s a really solid CAD for simple things like this.
I’ll never get used to the complete silence of my HP workstation!
Create a simple box.
Hollow it out with Ctrl J
Add some mounting tabs.
Send it off to the printer.
Now it’s just a wait while the printer lays the plastic down.
Here it is! A perfectly sized try to hold the diswashing liquid.
A couple of screws and the job is done. Did it take a while? About 15 minutes to design it, the printer did take a while to create it but i was off doing something else. I hope this shows some of the possibilities with 3D printing!


“He did this for his neighborhood kids so they could take pride in growing it themselves. Kebbi is the real deal.”- Susan Tedeschi, Tedeschi Trucks Band
Music in the Park ATL aims to raise $6,000 through Kickstarter to support the final production costs for our fourth annual event on April 20, 2014. Music in the Park ATL is a program created by Kebbi Williams, saxophonist for Grammy award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band, which provides an opportunity for Atlanta youth to experience live music by playing with professional musicians in an orchestral performance open to the public.
Over the last three years, Music in the Park ATL has inspired over a hundred Atlanta youth to seek out music instruction, practice year-round, and participate in the youth orchestra at the Music in the Park ATL annual performance held in Atlanta’s Historic West End. Some youth artists have also started composing original music.
This year, Music in the Park ATL is an activity partner of Atlanta Streets Alive, which will close several streets of Atlanta’s Historic West End to vehicular traffic on April 20th, 2014 to experience the closeness of social interaction in the community. Music in the Park ATL plans to expose the attendees to world music and demonstrate the unifying effect of public performance.
On April 20, 2014, Music in the Park ATL plans to participate in the Atlanta Streets Alive Bike Parade and actually march among the attendees disrupting the assumed boundaries between performers/spectators. Musicians will march among the attendees to five different venues along the route. At the five outside venues, a diverse group of musicians will play throughout the event and encourage attendees to interact with one another. The music will also naturally encourage people to cross boundaries and join other Atlanta Streets Alive planned activities. At the conclusion of Atlanta Streets Alive, a 50-piece youth/ established artists orchestra will perform for the community into the night.
WHY ARE WE RUNNING A KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN?
“We want to put it in a neighborhood where you might not get a lot of live music.” – Kebbi Williams, Founder of Music in the Park ATL
Live concert tickets, band instruments and quality music instruction are increasingly expensive and out of reach for inner-city youth. We believe that when kids experience live original music and get training in performance from professional musicians, the more diverse musical sounds will be heard in your community’s parks, establishing a foundation for the future of live music.
Music in the Park ATL is committed to creating this musical experience in communities who have limited access to music instruction and programming. Atlanta’s Historic West End has rich cultural and religious diversity but also a large population of underserved youth.
By removing any financial costs for attending the event, we have also been successful in drawing representation from many different social groups in the community.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A DIVERSITY OF ARTISTS?
“Being able to work with a different variety of people and instruments is not an everyday thing. I got a feel of new music that I normally do not play being the string player that I am.” -Monica Davis, viola, Music in the Park ATL youth participant
The monies raised will specifically help support music talent diversity and go entirely toward artist fees. The success of our previous shows lie in our insistence on providing music that represents many genres. We blend these performances in such a manner that the audiences are encouraged to stay to view acts that they ordinarily would not see.
We play and teach many genres of live instrumental music and vocal genres. We have world music like flamenco, Cuban, Classical and Afro-Klezmer. We also have American jazz styles such as straight ahead, avant- garde, funk, soul, alternative, experimental and traditional marching band. Most of the professional artists are based in Atlanta.
Risks and challenges
We believe musicians should get paid for playing!
All Music in the Park ATL musicians are paid for their performance, even the youth musicians receive a stipend. Building an audience is an important part of being a performing musician because it is a different experience when live music is shared within community rather than played in recital halls. If all our artists, youth musicians included, promote the April 20, 2014 event, we feel the audience, musicianship, and overall performance experience will be enhanced; and we hope that our financial goal will be met so we can pay all our artists in a reasonable amount of time.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

After months of anticipation of Shannon and Mike’s Big Bend Elopement, it was beyond exciting to watch them become Mr. & Mrs. Wait in front of their closest friends and family members. The Window in the Chisos Basin mountains was the perfect iconic backdrop.
The ladies spent their day getting their hair and makeup done by Glam on Demand New Braunfels in the lodges in the Chisos Basin. Mike continued to let Shannon know that he was thinking about her throughout the day by sending her little surprises. To start, as Shannon was getting her hair done, her bridesmaids decided to get her wedding dress out of the garment bag and hang it in the door way. As they did, they found a stuffed Chucky doll tucked away in the bag. As they handed it to Shannon, she bursted into laughter. You see, a few weeks before, Shannon and Mike had, “won” this Chucky doll out of a claw machine…and Shannon was less than thrilled. Mike decided to scare Shannon with it by putting it on her night stand so when she woke up, it was the first thing she saw. And since then, they had been taking turns hiding it to scare each other. So Chucky doll made his appearance, numerous times throughout the day. Since I, myself, spend so much of my time scheming on ways to scare my own husband, I truly felt bonded with them in this moment.
After Shannon and Mike’s sweet and intimate ceremony, we drove the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive and stopped for portraits along the way. We ended the night with a reception dinner at The Starlight Theater and smoke bomb portraits. It was such a perfect way to conclude the day.

A significant proportion of Raspberry Pi mini-computers are set to be manufactured in the UK, after one of the device's distributors struck a deal with Sony.
Under the deal announced on Thursday, a Sony contract electronic manufacture (CEM) facility in Wales will make up up to 30,000 of the $35 mini-computers per month for one of Raspberry Pi's two distributors, Premier Farnell - shifting the bulk of its manufacturing from China to the UK. The agreement should create around 30 new jobs, according to the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
"The temptation is always to push manufacturing to a low-cost region, but I think with the right attention to detail there's no reason British manufacturing can't compete in a global marketplace," Eben Upton, founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation told ZDNet on Thursday. "It shows that British manufacturing can be competitive."
Sony's CEM facility in Pencoed, South Wales, has been making Raspberry Pi boards for Farnell for around two weeks already. The company invested £50,000 in the facility to give it the package-on-package technology needed to stack the Raspberry Pi's Broadcom chip beneath its RAM chip.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation first met with Sony at Easter this year, and were "so impressed" with the factory they saw that they called Premier Farnell the next day, according to Upton. Executives from the company visited the site and decided to move production to the facility soon after.
Premier Farnell has now moved "the majority" of its Raspberry Pi production out of China, Upton said. Raspberry Pi's other distributor, RS Components, has kept manufacturing in China for the time being and has no public plans to move. All in all, around 40 percent of manufactured boards are now expected to come from Wales, according to Upton.
"How do you know if you've got a UK-made board? Easy. Look next to the power jack; you'll see the words 'Made in the UK'. We couldn't be prouder," the foundation wrote in a blog post on Thursday.


This song is a great way to incorporate music into your life. You can’t just listen to it on your ipod or computer. If you do get in front of the radio, you need to turn it off when it’s not playing. You can’t turn this song on while driving or playing an ipod or ipod nano.
I can’t say for certain how the song is coming into the game, but I do know that it’s a nice thing to have. A simple song to listen to to relax your mind is always good, and with MP3s you can share it with your friends and family.
To get a feel of the song, you need to listen to a song, but it should be something simple and short. The song should be about people, but you can never really tell what that song is about.
You can turn this on when you click on the “Download” button.
The song is called Adukku Malligai by the Japanese band. I have seen this song on youtube, but I don’t know the name of the band. The song should be on the iPod in a couple of hours.
I have also heard this song before on my ipod. It is a remake of the band’s older song. The band is named after the name of the city of Adukku.
I can’t remember if it was on the original version, or if it is on the version on the ipod. But I’m pretty sure it was on the original version. And I’m pretty sure it’s on the original version.
Adukku Malligai is a band from Tokyo, Japan. I think it was one of the first bands I ever heard of. The band was formed in 1986 and has released five albums. It was also named the first Japanese band to appear on MTV.
The original version of the song was released as a 7” by the band on their first album “Adukku Malligai” on May 13, 1997. The version on the ipod is a remastered version that was released in Japan on October 14, 2005.

The story of a trap and how you can use it to your advantage.
Urban air adventure 2 Trap adventure: Urban Air Adventure 2 is a second instalment in the Trap adventure series.
It is a game where you have to navigate a city to get to the traps.
How to be an expert in trap adventure: I think you need to have a little bit of knowledge in trap.
In trap adventure you have an environment, a situation, and you have the ability to move around and to interact with different objects that you are in.
You need to know what objects can be interacted with and what can’t.
You need to be able to know where to put objects, where to place objects, how to move them.
There are a lot of things you need in the game, and the game will teach you that.
You don’t need to play through every scene every time, but you should play through a scene every day.
When you are playing the game you have a number of different kinds of traps that you can try.
The traps are called locations, and they are different depending on what kind of environment you are trying to get in.
Traps are located around the city.
There are many different types of traps in this game.
The game is split into three sections.
Chapter 1: The First Trap Chapter 2: The Second Trap And then the third section: the Final Trap.
What is a trap?
A trap is a special object that is in the environment.
You can see it in a room, a garden, a park.
There is a small window where you can look through it and look at the other side of the room.
You cannot see the trap in the middle of a room.
A trap can be placed in the center of the environment, like a door or a window, and then it will be moved around.
It is not very clear in this tutorial that what a trap is, and how to use it, but I think it is pretty clear in the gameplay.
There will be different kinds and sizes of traps, and I think they all have a certain purpose in the trap adventure series and I will explain some of the different types in the first tutorial.
Here are some pictures of what the traps look like in the games.
Let’s look at a basic trap.
You will see a door in this picture.
You see the door is made of wood and it has a hole in the top.
You have a wooden key in your pocket.
There might be two keys in the door.
That is a door with a door key.
This is the first trap.
This is a key with a lock.
Now, there is a little knob in the front of the door that you use to open the door or open the lock.
You use this to lock the door, or open a lock to open a trapdoor.
A trapdoor with two locks.
I am using the door knob to open this trapdoor, but if you look at this picture, you can see that it is not really a door, but it is a lock that can be unlocked by a key that has a lock on it.
You just have to have the lock on the door and then you can open it.
But this is a room with a trap door.
The trapdoor is also called a door trap, trapdoor trap, or trapdoor that has no lock.
This trapdoor looks like a small door.
I am opening this door trapdoor and I have to open it with a key.
An unlocked door.
You put a key in the lock that holds the door in place.
This key is a trick door.
This trick door is the one that you want to try the most.
So this trap is not a door that is actually locked.
It’s a trickdoor.
If you open it and then the door swings open, the trapdoor will swing open, and there will be a door.
If the trap door swings closed, then the trap will not swing open.
It will just be a normal door.
So there is nothing special about the door here.
And you can go into the room with the trap and you will see that there is no trapdoor in the room, and that is the trap.
This room is very open and there is an opportunity for you to get into the trap by just being in the open.
If you go into this room, you will notice a window with a camera.
This window has a camera that you have on your wrist.
You take pictures with the camera.
In the game it is possible to go into a room where you cannot see any traps, because you can’t hear anything from outside.
But in real life there are traps that are always there, so you have some warning if you are going into a trap.
Here is a video that shows how to play a trap in a city.

Happy 25th Anniversary + 1 day to “14 Songs”, released June 15, 1993. Hop into The wayback Machine for this interview from June 1993 bu Robert Hilburn for the LA Times.
POP MUSIC: An Untroubled Troubadour
Songwriter Paul Westerberg returns with ’14 Songs’ about insecurities and desires–after battling his own
June 06, 1993| Robert Hilburn
Q: Why did you feel freer writing songs for a solo album than for the band?
A: I never would have presented “Black Eyed Susan” or maybe “Even Here We Are” for fear that it didn’t fit the idea of this punk-rock beast . . . or that the other guys wouldn’t want to play them. This time all I had to worry about was what are the best songs. It was also rather nice not having musicians waiting around, and you’re always aware that they don’t have anything to do, so you tend to speed things up when you should take two weeks for that three-minute song.
Q: “Things” on the new album is one of the most tender songs you’ve ever written. It’s about not being able to communicate your feelings to someone until the day you say goodby to her. Listening to it, you feel it is absolutely autobiographical. Is that just an illusion?
A: It’s no illusion. “Things” is one of the songs I had to coax myself into putting on the album. I didn’t want any of that confessional stuff. But I was in the car one day with (Replacements guitarist) Slim Dunlop. He said he had a song, but he didn’t want to put it on his record because it told too much. And I was going, “Man, that’s the one you gotta put on the record.” And as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I had to do the same thing.
Q: What’s the story behind the song?
A: It’s sort of a summation of my life. I feel like I’m always leaving something. It could be looked upon as my relationship with people or my relationship with the band. It’s a way of saying, “I don’t belong to you. I belong to what I do.” My marriage is over, so there’s undeniable threads there.
And in no4 particular order, here are my 5 favorite songs of the 14 (Don’t @ me, First Glimmer and Runaway Wind fans).
Things I’m bound to tell you like, that dress looks great on ya
I could use some breathing room but I’m still in love with you
Things I could never tell you, down the line someday
You’ll be a song I sing, a thing I give away
Packed my things today, I packed my things today


After months of tangling from afar, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will confront each other face-to-face for the first time in Monday night's presidential debate, laying out for voters their vastly different visions for the nation's future.
Richard Lardner, Associated Press | Posted Sep 26th - 1:50am
Donald Trump's status as a Washington outsider fuels his fiery populism and also is helping to shield him from the scrutiny House Republicans are devoting to Hillary Clinton, a former U.S. senator and secretary of state.
Lawmakers are looking at creating a standardized assessment for teachers amid concern over a Utah State Board of Education rule adopted in June that allows schools to hire people without formal training to be teachers.
A diverse coalition is urging the Senate's immediate action on the Family First Prevention Services Act, which would allow states to use federal foster care funds for in-home services to help preserve families. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is a sponsor.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were meeting separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, giving each candidate fresh foreign policy talking points on the eve of their first presidential debate.
Ken Thomas and Jill Colvin, Associated Press | Posted Sep 25th - 12:03pm
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are meeting separately with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday in sessions that could set the tone for relations between the allied countries during the next presidential administration.
Susan Haigh, Associated Press | Posted Sep 25th - 11:20am
Linda McMahon, the former wrestling executive who shook up Connecticut with two expensive and contentious, yet unsuccessful U.S. Senate races, has jumped into a larger political ring, becoming a sought-after Republican mega donor who's involved in campaigns across the country, including the battle for president.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is arguing that he'll do more to help women from the White House than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. At the same time, he's taunting her over the infidelities of her husband.
A new study that examines some major health care proposals from the presidential candidates finds that Donald Trump would cause about 20 million to lose coverage while Hillary Clinton would provide coverage for an additional 9 million people.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump offer voters distinct choices this fall on issues that shape everyday lives. Actual ideas are in play, as difficult as it can be to see them through the surreal layers of the 2016 presidential campaign.

We reported a few days back about WWE star Mr.Kennedy getting hitched, and now there are various sites reporting that John Cena also has gotten married. Word is that Cena has married long-time girlfriend Liz. He had proposed to her back in September. This pic is reportedly from the after-party that took place following the wedding. Notice she is wearing a ring on her left hand, so it does make sense.

Spain's Anti-Semitism: Continuing "Lawfare," Selective Application of the Law
Spain has become a haven for anti-Israel lawfare.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who makes no secret of his dislike of Zionism, is well known in Spain for his anti-Israel and anti-Jewish outbursts. At a dinner party in the Moncloa Palace (the Spanish White House) in 2005, for example, Zapatero addressed his guests by launching into a tirade of anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric that ended with the phrase: "It is understandable that someone might justify the Holocaust."
Now, Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jiménez, who took office on October 21, has decided to keep in place the anti-Israel "lawfare" policies of her predecessor, Miguel Ángel Moratinos. The disclosure came after Justice Minister Francisco Caamaño Domínguez and she refused to grant diplomatic immunity from arrest or interrogation to former Shin Bet Chief MK Avi Dichter (Kadima party), who was planning on taking part in a seminar on the Middle East peace in Madrid on October 29-30.
Dichter is being accused of "war crimes and crimes against humanity" by pro-Palestinian activists who are using -- some are saying: abusing -- Spanish courts to prosecute more than a dozen Israeli political and military leaders by means of the legal concept called "universal jurisdiction."
Dichter was forced to cancel his trip to Spain at the last minute over fears he would be arrested and possibly imprisoned by Spanish authorities. Dichter faces legal action in Spain over complaints against him for his involvement in the assassination of Salah Shehadeh, a top Hamas militant, in 2002, when Dichter was head of the Shin Bet security agency, and for his involvement in Operation Cast Lead during the winter of 2008-2009, when Dichter was Israel's Minister of Public Security.
A Spanish non-governmental organization called The Madrid Coalition, together with another group called the Assembly of Cooperation for Peace, invited Israeli and Palestinian representatives to take part in a seminar focusing on the Middle East peace process and the so-called Arab Peace Initiative. The conference organizers invited a small group of Knesset members from Israel to take part in the event, and Dichter was set to lead the delegation. Senior officials from the Palestinian Authority, including Mohammed Dahlan, a senior Fatah security operative, were also invited. Dahlan has been accused of torture during the repression of the Hamas movement during the 1990s, shortly after the establishment of the Palestinian Authority.
Dichter responded sharply to Spain's actions, sending Jiménez a protest letter, which noted that: "It is absurd that representatives from the Palestinian Authority, who worked within the Palestinian security mechanism with God knows what kind of record, meet with no difficulties when they arrive in Spain. The Spanish must take responsibility for the situation and I am optimistic that we will find a solution."
Dichter told the Spanish center-right newspaper El Mundo: "It is not my personal problem, but rather one of how an Israeli deputy can be detained for an operation against an arch-terrorist such as Shehadeh. I regret the deaths of civilians, but it is not easy to act against terrorists who hide among the population."
The open-ended interpretation of universal jurisdiction has led to massive abuses of the Spanish legal system by groups that are out to pursue a political agenda, and by media-savvy activist judges, who are more interested in scoring political points than in upholding the law. At one point in mid-2009, judges at the Spanish National Court were pursuing more than a dozen international investigations into suspected cases of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity in places as far-flung as Tibet and Rwanda. But most of these cases had little or no connection with Spain.
Zapatero has also sought to restore Spain's traditionally strong ties with the Arab world by ingratiating himself with Israel's enemies. During the Second Lebanon War, for example, Zapatero participated in an anti-Israel rally where he wrapped himself in a Palestinian kaffiyeh (scarf) and gratuitously accused Israel of using "abusive force that does not protect innocent human beings." Just for good measure, Zapatero then dispatched Moratinos to Syria, a move the Israeli foreign ministry said proved that the Spanish government was "closer to Hezbollah terrorists than to the Israeli government."
Zapatero, who refuses to visit Israel (even as the two countries commemorated 20 years of diplomatic ties in 2006), also refers to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a "cancer" that is metastasizing into all the other conflicts in the region. As a disciple of postmodern moral equivalency, Zapatero naturally believes the "cancer" is Israel, not Islamic terrorism.
The anti-Israel rhetoric in Spain has become so pronounced in recent years that lately even newspapers traditionally favorable to Israel have been switching sides. In August 2009, the center-right newspaper ABC published a "moral equivalency" article titled "Iran and Israel: Obama's Ticking Time Bomb." Quoting anonymous sources, the article gives readers the impression that Israel is somehow more dangerous than Iran.
And in July 2009, the center-right newspaper El Mundo refused to publish a letter submitted by the Israeli ambassador to Spain, who was attempting to refute a string of inaccuracies in a story the newspaper published about Israel.
The problem of unequal application of the law in Spain, as practiced in one-sided "lawfare" against only Israel, is not new. In July 2010, three Spanish activists who were on board the Gaza aid ships that were raided by Israeli commandos on May 31 filed a lawsuit against Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, six members of his cabinet and a senior military officer for "war crimes and crimes against humanity."
Laura Arau, David Segarra and Manuel Espinar Tapial, who lodged the complaint at Spain's National Court (Audiencia Nacional), claim they claim they were illegally arrested in international waters, tortured and forcibly removed to Turkey. The 86-page lawsuit was filed on behalf of the three plaintiffs by a non-governmental organization called the Arab Cause Solidarity Committee, which is based in Madrid.
In addition to Netanyahu, the lawsuit names as defendants Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Avidgor Lieberman, Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya'alon, Interior Minister Eli Yishai, minister-without-portfolio Benny Begin, and Navy Vice Admiral Eliezer 'Chiney' Marom.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs were "illegally detained, forcibly moved into Israel and deported to Turkish territory outside the provisions of international law." However, most of the rest of the complaint is framed within the broader context of the overall Palestinian cause, which reveals the politically motivated nature of the lawsuit.
The Spanish National Court is now deciding whether or not the lawsuit is admissible. In June 2009, the Spanish parliament passed a law to limit judges from pursuing cases of torture or war crimes committed abroad under the concept of universal jurisdiction. Spanish law previously enabled investigators to probe alleged human rights crimes regardless of where they were committed or where the defendants lived.
Under the new restrictions, cases involving universal jurisdiction can be pursued in Spanish courts only if they involve Spanish citizens. The lawyers in this latest case argue that the Spanish court has jurisdiction precisely because the three plaintiffs are Spanish citizens.
In April 2010, the Spanish Supreme Court upheld a decision by the Spanish Court of Appeals against conducting an investigation of seven current or former Israeli officials over the air attack in Gaza that killed Shehadeh. It remains unclear why Jiménez refused to guarantee Dichter's immunity in this case.
As for Moratinos, he was summarily removed from his post after Zapatero, plunging in popularity as he fights an economic crisis, announced a surprise cabinet shake-up on October 20.
During Moratinos' six-year tenure as foreign minister, relations between Spain and Israel slumped to their lowest level since bilateral relations were established in 1986. So low, in fact, that Israel now has better ties with Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan or Morocco than it does with Spain.
Moratinos often raised eyebrows over his consistently antagonistic stance toward the Jewish state. Arguably the most damaging initiative in his long-running political and ideological confrontation with Israel involves a plan for the European Union to recognize a Palestinian state — possibly as early as October 2011 — even if negotiations for a permanent settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority are not concluded.
Since becoming foreign minister in 2004, Moratinos also tried to maintain the fiction that Spain is uniquely qualified to be an impartial mediator in the Middle East, even while Zapatero repeatedly made headlines for his fixation with the Palestinian "resistance."
If her handling of the Dichter case is any indication, Jiménez has signalled that she has no intention of changing the anti-Israel policies set in place by her predecessor Moratinos, and sanctioned by her boss, Zapatero himself.

If Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not qualified to speak about Islam, then who is? The answer is that the only figure they might accept is someone who does not make any criticisms of Islam.
Her criticisms are often raw because they are true. Able to do nothing about the truth, they try to silence the truth-teller.

Acknowledging the new ISIS danger while ignoring Iran's role in fomenting sectarian conflict in Syria and Iraq is not only shortsighted but dangerous. ISIS is not about to acquire nuclear capability, at least yet. Iran is.
If ISIS, a 25,000-strong militia, poses a serious threat, how can one disregard the 550,000-strong military of the soon-to-be nuclear Iranian regime?
The International Atomic Energy Agency issued a confidential report, which states that "little progress is being made," and that the Iran has implemented only three out of five nuclear transparency steps to which it had committed to completing before August 25. Does the West actually no longer view a nuclear Iran as a pressing threat?

"Why are you running away, you sperm of Israel?" — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to a Muslim protestor.
"Being a sperm of Israel in Turkey means... to get used to living on hate speech, insults and curses every day; held accountable for every act of the Israeli government although you may never even have stepped foot in Israel; treated as a 'foreigner' in the country where you were born, served in the military and you pay taxes." — Vedat Haymi Behar, digital marketing solutions coordinator, in Radikal.

The losers are declaring war on all who disagree with them. They have adopted Salmond's attempts to pit one part of the population against another: not just young against old, but manual workers against the middle classes, city slum dwellers against country people, men against women, any section of the population that preferred Yes against another section that did the opposite.
The foolish devotion of Labour councilors to Palestinian militancy paved the way for nationalist mania.

Is A Herpes Cure Near
Genital herpes virus is among the most commonly seen sexually transmitted disorders globally, it impacts around TWENTY PERCENT of the population. You need to keep in mind, that there is yet no herpes virus cure at the moment. It is not easy to learn the actual number of people that have herpes simplex virus, but this number is raising greatly each year. The most up-to-date most interesting articles referring to herpes simplex virus that came out a week ago.
Consume a lot of alkaline things to eat. Taking alkaline diet items may help to raise the defenses of the body of a human that has a lower level of acidity. This is actually the hypothesis behind the pH level of the physique. Organic, uncooked vegetables and fruit, fiber rich foods, legumes and top quality protein rich meats including salmon and organic poultry will be helpful to create an alkaline state in the human body.
Most scientists believe, the fact that herpes virus was around in the Ancient greek civilization even more than 2000 years ago. Ancient systems of medicine, like Ayuverda, have already been used to deal with herpes simplex virus for hundreds of years.
Ayurveda therapeutic focuses on providing energy and balance to the overall system. For the reason that herpes virus can not be wiped out from the body system soon after it’s caught, ayurveda treatment methods for herpes virus works to control outbursts by supporting agni for a healthier immunity mechanism. Healthier agni will allow the human body to soak up nutrition, assimilate emotive states and blow off harmful toxins.
A large number of general practitioners understand, that Ayuverdic methodology, nutritious diet and way of living can easily get rid of herpes simplex virus symptoms and signs (by simply strengthening defense mechanisms and, due to this fact, suppressing hsv), but they can’t get rid of the herpesentirely from body of a human. On the other hand, there have been several herpes simplex virus cure research that has proven that particular adjustments in lifestyle can completely prevent probable hsv flare-ups. Having said that, it is recommended to know, that even if a man or woman does not have any herpes simplex virus symptoms and signs, she or he could be transmittable to others (by way of sexual intimacies or, sometimes, skin area contact referred to as herpes simplex virus shedding).
herpes simplex virus shedding appears when an contaminated person has small openings in the pores and skin throughout which the herpes might be pass on. The herpes simplex virus is normally known as a std . So you see, sexual intimacies contact is one of the simple ways the herpes simplex virus might be pass on. Men or women get infected with the herpes after exposed to the areas of damaged epidermis exposing the herpes simplex virus.
As frightening as herpes virus might appear at this time, you must keep in mind there are ways to reduce herpes signs of illness and control - or sometimes suppress - outbreaks. Getting a nutritious way of life is a great idea, although ensure that you discuss http://www.herpes.com/ with your doctor prior to making any kind of major changes to your lifestyle and testing any alternative herpes remedies. Bear in mind you’re not by itself and nearly every fifth person around the world is struggling with a similar problem. Stay relaxed and don’t forget have fun with your life!

This week, in a blow to imperiled bee and insect populations, the Sacramento County Superior Court issued a ruling in Almond Alliance v. California Fish and Game Commission (the Commission), deeming the State of California lacks authority to list four threatened bumble bee species as Endangered under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).
In 2018, Center for Food Safety, Defenders of Wildlife, and Xerces Society petitioned the Commission to list four species of native bumble bees—western bumble bee, Franklin's bumble bee, Crotch's bumble bee, and the Suckley cuckoo bumble bee—as Endangered under CESA. As a result of the groups’ petition, the Commission voted to begin the listing process in 2019, but was sued by California’s agricultural industry shortly after its decision.
The industry argued that terrestrial invertebrates, such as the four bumble bee species, are not protected by CESA. Center for Food Safety, Defenders of Wildlife, and Xerces Society intervened in the lawsuit in January 2020 to help defend the Commission’s decision to extend critical protection to the four bumble bee species.
In response to the Court’s ruling, the petitioners issued the following joint statement:
“We are deeply disappointed by this week’s decision. In ruling that CESA does not protect terrestrial invertebrates, the Court not only removed protection from the four sensitive bumble bee species, but took away future prospects for much needed protection from the State’s many imperiled insects that play critical roles in our agriculture and overall ecology. We hope the State will appeal. We are considering all options in response to the court's decision, including pursuit of legislation to make it clear that CESA protects these critical species."

Is City Hall Broken?…
by David Hartwick – 1st Vice President, Northern Hills Community Association (NHCA)
As most people know, Cedarglen Homes bought the Harvest Hills Golf Course about 18 months ago with the intent to redevelop it into a residential area, increasing the population of Harvest Hills significantly. The Northern Hills Community Association believes this development will have an impact on the quality of life for all residents of the Northern Hills, and has taken steps to oppose the proposed land use changes. But our volunteers have invested over a thousand hours into the process, and we are now wondering if City Hall is broken? Why has Calgary turned into a city that requires individuals and community associations to question policy, procedure and actions of City Hall? Don’t we elect people to take on that role? Is it time for election reform preventing developers from donating to campaigns and requiring that candidates must live where they will represent? In the past 18 months, the NHCA has had to learn about acronyms like ASP, ARP, MDP, HOA, RA, and DTR, and terms like Main Streets, Urban Forest GoPlan and PLAN Calgary. We have had to delve into City development policies, meet with politicians and connect with other communities that are struggling with the same issues, including the Hamptons, Highland Park, and Thorncliffe/Greenview; so we have all been sharing information and learning from each other rather than from our elected Councillors. One of the biggest struggles we will face is convincing Calgary City Council that this development is a bad idea, and there is no precedent in how to do so. As our Councillor Jim Stevenson said to the Calgary Sun a few months ago, “A private land owner has the right to apply to change the use of their land, and if city council wants to deny that, they have to have a good reason.” If this is the case, why are community associations and the public given an opportunity to provide feedback on development permits including basement suites, home based businesses, and new retail space? It is also important to note, that this is not simply a development permit request, but a request to change land use designation AND the Area Structure Plan approved by a previous City Council. Why does the City have policies pushing to preserve our urban forest and increase transit oriented development, but not have policies to prevent developments that destroy urban forests and increase road traffic? Oh wait, it all falls into the Municipal Development Plan, and that same plan is what is pushing the Harvest Hills redevelopment through. One frustration is that people within the City of Calgary cannot even agree on their own policies. The MDP policy states: “A dispersed population creates some social, economic and environmental challenges.” We agree, as our community already faces many of these challenges, so how is the addition of more people going to address it? The City has suggested tennis courts. That we will all drive to. And greenspace that we can all use, but only those living in the new area will pay for it. Could you imagine if the Panorama E-Centre was open to all of us but only residents in some parts of Panorama Hills paid for its maintenance? I wonder how long that will last? The City is also forcing secondary suites in the Harvest Hills proposal, something the developer did not propose. Why? Because some bureaucrats consider this to be new development rather than a redevelopment, and therefore it’s a requirement of city policy. Harvest Hills was built as a Master Planned Community (as part of the Calgary North ASP, Phase 1) featuring a golf course and lake, and the purchase and redevelopment of golf courses could just be the beginning. Through our research, we are questioning if Calgary City Council approved increased density in Coventry Hills to compensate for reduced capacity in Harvest Hills. The area Alderman at the time, John Schmal, stated that City Council and its Administration at the time wanted Genstar to “provide for the innovative and unique development when they promoted the “North Calgary” MasterPlan.” That same Master Plan defined actual population of the structure plan to be a maximum of 20,000 without upgrades to the Deerfoot and Memorial interchange. Population of the communities in Phase 1currently sits at 31,665 and doesn’t factor in all the other growth in the north. What is to prevent a company from buying Lake Bonavista, promising to continue running it as it is, but then selling it a year later to a developer? Or a school? Or a recreation centre? Or the Harvest Hills lake? The nearby community of Sage Meadows is promoting 60% green space to homebuyers. We buy our homes based on our needs including amenities and our homes are priced based on those amenities. Do we want a city where anyone can pay a price to change that? The City of Calgary scheduled an information session for July 20th, and the Calgary Planning Commission meeting is August 11th. Is the City trying to push this through while people are on holidays? Our community has 8,480 kids between5-14 years old, so this is the time of year the residents take holidays. The Highland Park Redevelopment has been tabled until January 2017, so why is the Harvest Hills process going forward?
This is OUR CITY. HAVE A VOICE. We are one year from an election so now is the time to speak up.

I much prefer Nora’s In Death books (as JD Robb) and her stand alone suspense books, but I was intrigued by the premise of this book. Overall I enjoyed the book. I liked how Iona was enthusiastic and didn’t have much of a filter on her emotions. It’s a nice change from women who are attracted to men, but always trying to keep them arms distance. I got a kick out of Boyle, a man of few words and very settled in his ways, who is baffled at the attraction (and his inability to avoid it) to Iona. He doesn’t say much, but when he does it counts.
Because it’s a trilogy, you don’t get the big finish by the end, but you get one committed couple who still have work to do to defeat evil and help two other couples eventually get together. I will say I’m eager to read Conner’s story and of course, Fin and Branna’s.
After 200 books, Nora’s books sometimes feel like they’re recycled from older stories (i.e. I felt like the last Boonsville Inn was similar to Rafe McKade), but I still enjoyed the characters, the setting and overall story. If you enjoy a good romance, an Irish setting with folklore, a quest and a little witchery, then you’ll probably like this book.

Because we are nestled in a cove in the forested mountains of central Pennsylvania and a bit off the beaten path, the pace around here is slow making the outdoors a tranquil place for reflection or down time. Several historic structures dating to the 1800s dot the landscape. In fact, the White Sulphur Spring, which gives the conference center its name, was frequented by the Shawnee Indians long before settlers came to the cove in which it is located. A log tavern was built in the mid-1700s near the site of Buckingham Field. It was originally used as a way station for drovers traveling the packers’ trail along the crest of Will’s Mountain from Bedford village. In later years, the building was expanded and refurbished for guests coming to “take the waters” at the spring.
