The Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) is the designated arts agency for Walton County dedicated to supporting the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education. We like to think of ourselves as the cultural hub of activities and endeavors in all artistic forms. One of our goals is to provide access to and opportunities for both our locals and visitors to enjoy authentic, unique cultural experiences. There are several ways we strive to foster these possibilities for creative connection.
Founded in May 2016, The Foster Gallery is a professional artist collective led by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County that features at least a dozen local artists on a seasonally rotating basis, along with special exhibits, including the annual CAA juried show, One Size Fits All, and invitationals throughout the year. Named for the late Susan Foster, founder of the Cultural Arts Alliance and one of the area’s first professional artists and gallery owners, The Foster Gallery also symbolizes the support the CAA strives to provide for artists in our community. Since the gallery opened it’s doors, over 75 artists have exhibited works.
Art in Public Spaces
The former A+Art Program has recently grown into two separate Visual Arts Programs: Special Exhibitions at The Foster Gallery and Art in Public Spaces.
The CAA in partnership with the South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA) and support from the National Endowment for the Arts will join two of South Walton, Florida’s most beloved attractions – the arts and the Gulf of Mexico – with the introduction of The Underwater Museum of Art (UMA), North America’s first underwater permanent sculpture exhibit.
The UMA is the first presentation of the CAA’s Art In Public Spaces Program and will augment SWARA’s mission of creating marine habitat and expanding fishery populations while providing enhanced creative, cultural, economic and educational opportunities for the benefit, education and enjoyment of residents, students and visitors in South Walton.
Another exciting Art in Public Spaces addition is our #ArtMatters Public Art Exhibition at Hyatt Place, the newest hotel project to break ground in Grand Boulevard’s Town Center. The CAA and Howard Hospitality invited visual artists to submit 2D works to be displayed through the Hyatt Place’s construction phase.
Each of the six winning pieces will soon be printed onto high-quality vinyl and incorporated into the Hyatt Place brand message along the front-facing perimeter fencing of the Hyatt Place site throughout the construction phase. All six of the original works are currently exhibited and for sale at The Foster Gallery, located in Grand Boulevard Town Center.
We launched our new #ArtMatters campaign in 2016, with the creation of our #ArtMatters Blog on the CAA website, an Art in Public Spaces exhibit at the Hyatt Place hotel in Grand Boulevard’s Town Center and a rebranding of our email newsletter. We view #ArtMatters as both a noun and a verb. We believe Art Matters to our community by playing an integral role in establishing a culturally rich and diverse community for work, play and stay. We also view Art Matters as part of our advocacy role for Walton County in keeping local, regional, state and national arts related issues top of mind. Our wish is to find solutions to community challenges through the arts.
The Cultural Arts Alliance offers over 250 affordable art classes each year at the Bayou Arts Center and The Foster Gallery for artists of all ages and skill levels. From after-school and summer programs for kids to Oil, Acrylic, Mixed Media, Basket Weaving and Watercolor classes for adults, the CAA has a class for everyone. In 2015 – 2016, we hosted 1,500 adults and 475 kids in classes, workshops and camps at both the Bayou Arts Center and Foster Gallery. Visit our online class schedule to discover new ways to ignite your creative spark!
We produce several annual events including the 30A Songwriters Festival, the Valentine Tour of Homes, Art Week South Walton which includes the ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival and the Longleaf Writers Conference, the Flutterby Arts Festival, as well as quarterly receptions at The Foster Gallery celebrating the incoming rotation artists and our Winter Social gathering to thank our members and supporters in addition to naming our Volunteer of the Year. In total, 700 artists are involved in these events that are supported by more than 900 volunteers and attended by 15,000 people.
We offer grant funding for artists, arts organizations, teachers and students through the CAA’s ‘Art For All’ Program. Applying is easy, and awards are distributed throughout the year. In 2015-2016, we awarded grants to 160 recipients and impacted 7,500 school-age students.

CLEVELAND (Sept. 18, 2012)—The U.S. tire industry had its best year ever in 2007, and it isn't likely to match that anytime soon, according to a speaker at the International Tire Exhibition and Conference today.
“Prices are going up, but in terms of real growth, tire shipments don't match what they were five years ago,” said Dennis Byrne, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Akron.
The economic downturn and competition from imports, particularly from China, has contributed to the soft market for U.S. tire makers, according to Byrne. U.S. tire and auto production have had strong percentage increases in the last couple of years, but those percentages are in comparison to the low levels of 2008 and 2009, he said.
The three years of high tariffs on Chinese tires, ending this month, only served to distort the market, according to Byrne.
“They knocked down the number of tires the U.S. bought from China, but it didn't affect the number of tires imported into the U.S.,” he said.

Bringing community experience to the council, Karen Alexander hopes to return
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, July 23, 2019
SALISBURY — Karen Alexander is involved in the community, and that involvement makes her an effective member of the Salisbury City Council, she says.
Alexander is a founding member of Healthy Rowan, serves on the ABC Board, advocates for cities as second vice president of the N.C. League of Municipalities and is secretary for the Salisbury Community Development Corp. Now, she’s running for re-election.
“All this work I do outside all leads back to being an effective and informed member of council,” Alexander said.
She gave an example of work behind the scenes as a conversation with a Carolina Thread Trail board member who told her about grants and how to be an attractive applicant. The city has focused on being shovel-ready as it waits for funding, she said.
Having those connections and conversations, she said, has benefitted the city Parks and Recreation Department, which has seen funding challenges over the years. The city has added miles to its greenway and has been able to take advantage of donations such as with the veterans cemetery to add green space.
Alexander said the city’s capital improvement plan has helped outline what’s to come in the next five to 10 years — not just a guess — while improving the fund balance to prepare for potential economic downturns in the future.
Looking forward, Alexander said she wants to contribute to successes with economic development; increasing the housing stock; improving public safety by providing resources the Salisbury Police Department needs while improving officers’ relationships with the public; enhancing the health of residents while combatting the opioid crisis; and preparing for infrastructure challenges.
She said someone once told her she was the most principled member of the City Council, and she agrees with that. Alexander said she makes decisions according to the law and not on emotions.
“I’m more interested in making headway and not headlines,” Alexander said.
She’s also interested in bringing her experience as an architect, urban designer and business owner back to the council.
As an example, Alexander noted a text amendment to the land development ordinance that she questioned at a City Council meeting. She asked the Planning Department to think about how the change would affect every lot size and zoning classification. Alexander said she has since been working with the staff to revise the amendment.
“I’m always using my skill set to do things in the most professional way,” Alexander said. “In doing that, you’re protecting all citizens.”
Having a successful city government, she says, should be like watching paint dry — boring.
“If you do it well, then it’s not exciting,” she said.
Alexander said she enjoys working with five perspectives on the City Council. She previously served as mayor and now is a council member.
Alexander said, if she is the highest vote getter in the election, other council members would decide whether she will once again be mayor, a position in which she served from 2015 to 2017. She would be willing to serve as mayor again, Alexander said.
“I love serving the community,” Alexander said. “It doesn’t matter what seat I sit in. …I’m just about seeing and helping our city grow.”

The family of a young woman killed in 1999 has appealed a Baltimore judge’s order vacating the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, who was imprisoned for decades for Hae Min Lee’s death.
In papers filed Friday with the Court of Special Appeals, Lee’s brother Young argued through counsel that the family’s constitutional and statutory rights as crime victims were violated when they were denied adequate opportunity to testify at the Sept. 19 hearing where Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby told the judge that newly found evidence cast doubt on Syed’s guilt.
Baltimore City Circuit Judge Melissa M. Phinn subsequently vacated the conviction.
In its appellate court filing, the family stated it seeks an evidentiary hearing at which they would have the opportunity to challenge the state’s evidence and witnesses and present their own.
“The state and circuit court violated Mr. Lee’s rights,” the family’s attorneys wrote to the Court of Special Appeals.
“The state’s attorney gave him less than one business-day’s notice of the relevant hearing,” the attorneys’ added. “Further, the circuit court admitted no evidence, sat no witnesses, and asked no questions about the basis for vacatur – instead reading a prepared opinion parroting the state’s arguments and ignoring Mr. Lee’s position on the merits.”
The attorney’s added that their appeal should not be denied as moot, as the issue of victims’ rights at vacatur hearings is likely to recur.
“Absent this court’s intervention, prosecutors could moot the most egregious victims’ rights violations by dismissing charges before the (victims’) appeal is heard,” the family’s attorneys wrote. “Accordingly, this court should remand this case for a hearing that complies with (the family’s) statutory and constitutional rights.”
The family is represented by attorneys Steven J. Kelly, David W. Sanford and Ari B. Rubin, of Sanford Heisler Sharp LLC’s offices in Baltimore, New York and Washington, respectively.
Mosby’s office did not immediately return a telephone message Friday seeking comment on the family’s Court of Special Appeals filing.
The state will have an opportunity to file a response to the intermediate appellate court.
Syed, whose case was examined in the popular true-crime podcast “Serial,” was serving a life sentence after being convicted of strangling 18-year-old Lee, whose body was found buried in a Baltimore park. Syed, 17 at the time, has always maintained he did not kill Lee, his ex-girlfriend.
Phinn’s order to release Syed and vacate his murder conviction came after Mosby told the judge that a lengthy investigation conducted with the defense had uncovered new evidence that could undermine the conviction.
During the hearing, Young Lee spoke via videoconference, saying he felt betrayed by prosecutors since he thought the case was settled.
“This is not a podcast for me. This is real life,” he said.
Prosecutor Becky Feldman told the judge at the hearing that she contacted Young Lee before the motion was filed, and went over the motion with him. A day before the hearing, Young Lee indicated by text message that he would attend virtually, Feldman said.
But that evening the Lee family hired Kelly, the Baltimore attorney, who filed a motion to postpone the hearing for seven days so Young Lee could attend in person.
Phinn denied that motion, but paused the hearing by more than 30 minutes so that Lee, who was at work, could join the call.
Kelly said at the time that prosecutors shut the family out of the legal process, calling it “inexcusable” and a violation of Maryland law. The family is interested in the truth and might have supported Syed’s release if they had understood the basis, he said.
“The family is disappointed with the way that they were treated. They’re disappointed with the process. They want more than anybody to have the person who killed Hae Min Lee brought to justice,” Kelly said. “If that is not Mr. Syed then they’re open to the possibility of anybody else who actually did it being prosecuted.”
Syed’s case captured the attention of millions in 2014 when the debut season of “Serial” focused on Lee’s killing and raised doubts about some of the evidence prosecutors had used.
The family’s appeal is docketed at the Court of Special Appeals as Young Lee, as victim’s representative v. State of Maryland, No. 1291 September Term 2022.

Monica Zetterlund was so much more than her Eurovision entry En Gång i Stockholm back in 1963. The jazz singer was something of a Swedish icon before her untimely death in 2005. This month marks what would have been her 73rd birthday and her life is celebrated both on the silver screen and in the form of a new CD.
The turbulent life both on stage and off of jazz sensation Monica Zetterlund has been portrayed in the Swedish film entitled Monica Z, which was given a nationwide release last week. The plot of the film is said to take place in the early sixties with Edda Magnason playing Zetterlund. The film recived it’s premiere at the Way Out West film festival in Gothenburg in August. Fans of the singer may be thrilled at seeing their heroine on the silver screen, however the film has also been criticised by some for its apparent factual errors. Although her appearance at the 1963 Eurovision in London is included in the film, har participation in the 1962 edition of Melodifestivalen is omitted in its entirety. Director Per Fly and scriptwriter Peter Birro have however dismissed the criticism, claiming that they had to rewrite certain events in her life in order to make the final production as effective as possible. Apart from the criticism, the film has attracted overall positive reviews.
At the same time, a well known Melodifestivalen participant has also chosen to pay tribute to the Zetterlund, with the release of a brand new CD. Jenny Silver, who many remember from her dancefloor ABBA pastiche Something in Your Eyes. She was also one third of the Swedish House Wives, who failed to make the final of this year’s Melodifestivalen with On Top Of The World. Silver has recorded an album which according to her new website has been a dream of hers for some time. Entitled simply Jenny Silver – Z, the album is filled with her enterpretations of just some of Ms Zetterlund’s extensive back catalogue. The brand new album is due for release on Wednesday, the 18th of September – a rather befitting tribute, seeing as Monica Zetterlund would have celebrated her birthday on the 20th of September, had she still been with us.

Baldwin pianos are world-renowned for their quality and unique sound. The company was founded in 1873 by Dwight Hamilton Baldwin and has since produced some of the most legendary pianos in history. From the Baldwin grand to the Baldwin baby grand, these instruments are known for their beautiful sound and well-made construction. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pianist, there’s a Baldwin piano perfect for you.
Baldwin Pianos have been around for over 150 years and have become one of the most legendary piano brands
In 1836, James L. Baldwin set up a small shop in New York City to build pianos. He soon became known for his high-quality instruments, which were favored by classical musicians and composers. Today, Baldwin Pianos are still considered some of the best in the world, and they can be found in piano stores around the globe.
Baldwin pianos have been played by some of the greatest classical musicians of all time. The list of famous performers who have played a Baldwin ranges from Vladimir Horowitz and Arthur Rubinstein to Lang Lang and Diana Krall. These pianos are also popular with students and beginner musicians because they are easy to play and produce a beautiful tone.
If you’re looking for a quality piano that will last for years, a Baldwin is a great option.
In 1885, Dwight Hamilton Baldwin opened a small piano store in Cincinnati, Ohio. Baldwin was a classically-trained musician and composer, and he used his store to teach and perform classical music. He also sold pianos and sheet music. Baldwin’s store became a popular gathering place for classical musicians and composers. Many of the greats—including George Gershwin and Sergei Rachmaninoff—played at Baldwin’s store.
Baldwin pianos have been a staple in classical music and piano stores for many years. The company started out as a small business in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has since become one of the most popular brands of pianos in the world. Baldwin’s success can be attributed to their high-quality instruments, as well as their commitment to providing exceptional customer service.
One of the things that makes Baldwin pianos unique is their ability to create both classic and contemporary sounds. This versatility has made them a favorite among classical musicians and composers. In fact, some of the most renowned pieces of classical music were composed on a Baldwin piano.
Baldwin’s history stretches back over 130 years, and during that time they’ve built up an impressive list of achievements.
In the early 20th century, Baldwin was at the height of its success and produced some of the world’s best pianos.
In the early 20th century, Baldwin was at the height of its success. The company produced some of the world’s best pianos, which were used by classical musicians and composers. Baldwin also had a successful piano store, which was frequented by people who loved classical music and wanted to learn to play the piano. The company’s success is due in part to its focus on quality and innovation. Baldwin has always been committed to creating the best pianos possible, and its designers have continued to introduce new features over the years.
After World War II, Baldwin saw a decline in popularity. However, it has seen a resurgence in recent years.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Baldwin saw a decline in popularity. However, it has seen a resurgence in recent years. One reason for this is that classical music is being taught more in schools. In addition, there are now more piano stores, and people are buying more classical music CDs. This has helped to revive interest in classical music, and especially in Baldwin’s compositions. Some of the best-known classical musicians today are those who play Baldwin pianos. In addition, Baldwin has become popular with composers once again.
Baldwin pianos became one of the most legendary piano brands due to their high quality and craftsmanship. Today, Baldwin pianos are still highly sought after by musicians and collectors alike. If you are interested in purchasing a Baldwin piano, be sure to do your research first and contact us for more information.

What are stack and reach measurements and why are they important?
Stack is the vertical distance in millimetres from the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the head tube and Reach is the horizontal distance in millimetres from the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the head tube. Both measurements are taken from the same points on every frame making them the only reliable dimensions when comparing frames.
By using Stack and Reach to design our frames we can ensure that each size is proportionally larger or smaller than the size above or below it.
Traditional frame sizes are a bit like shoe sizes in that they can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another as not all bikes are measured in the same way. What one manufacturer calls a 56cm frame can be equivalent to a 54cm or even a 58cm frame from another manufacturer in terms of how their Stack and Reach measurements compare.
Need help picking the right size?
If you’re in any doubt as to what size you need then contact our build team who will be only too happy to help. By taking some simple measurements they can accurately recommend a frame size, stem length, handlebar width and crank length to make sure you get the best possible fit.

Happy Flashback Friday, everyone! The sun is shining, you're not paying attention to whatever's going on at work/school, and, understandably, you are ready to rage. To help you get pumped for this three-day weekend, I've selected a video from the English alternative rock band Blur, whose exuberant ode to... something, "Song 2," helped the Brit-pop superstars gain popularity here in the U.S.
Although they'd been major in the U.K. since the early '90s, touring with The Cramps and charting with singles like "She's So High" and "Girls & Boys," in 1996 the band had yet to become a household name outside their home turf. While their countrymen in Oasis rode the Brit-pop wave to international stardom, the boys of Blur felt stalled. Seeking a change in direction, they began listening to noisy American alt-rock bands like Pavement and Sonic Youth, and the resulting self-titled album was nothing short of revolutionary for them.
The second single off said album, "Song 2," was meant to be a parody of American grunge rock, but the song mimicked it so well that American audiences either didn't notice or didn't care, and it climbed to No. six on Billboard's modern rock chart. (And trust me, even if you don't know this song by name, you'll recognize the signature "WOO HOO" chorus in an instant.) However, it was quite different from the rest of the band's body of work, which meant this mainstream success was to be short-lived. Nevertheless, "Song 2" (aka The "Woo Hoo" song) introduced quite a few lovable suburban brats (like myself!) to the tasteful world of under-the-radar college rock, and judging from how much said whippersnappers got out of that, I think the ends certainly justified the means.

There are at least 49 people dead after Flight BS 211 crashed when it approached Kathamandu’s Tribhuvan Airport in Nepal from the wrong direction. Flight BS 211, owned by US-Bangla Airlines, was flying from Dhaka, Bangladesh to Kathmandu when this tragic event happened.
Forty bodies were found at the scene of the crash, with nine more dying at hospital. The remaining 22 of the 71 on board are currently receiving treatment in a nearby hospital.
According to Tribhuvan Airport’s general manager, Raj Kumar Chhetri, “The plane had permission to land from the southern side of the runway but they instead landed from the northern side. Authorities do not know why they did not land from the southern side.”
An American who is currently living near the crash told CNN what she saw;
“It was flying northwards and it was much too low. I thought at first that maybe it was extra cloud cover that was forcing the Plane to fly low. Then I saw the plane change direction almost completely and it was flying straight towards us. Then it lost more altitude and finally crashed.I saw one spark, or flash. Then seconds later I saw another bigger one. It was almost as if the plane might have bounced. Then no more light but a tall billow of thick black smoke rose in the air.”

Modern house number – If you’re ordering more than 1 number, please make certain you pick the appropriate quantity from the drop-down menu. Since the floating mount numbers are made to enter the exterior of your house, there is about an inch sticking out the rear of the sign that we require to hide. Huge numbers are among the new trends…
DIY cabinet doors and you want to renovate them, you should decide how to do that partly by considering what kind of coating is currently on the doors. If the doors are laminated, then painting or dyeing is not an option. One possibility is to place new tabs over existing laminates. Self-adhesive veneer comes in sheets of paper backing that peel off to reveal the glue. Make sure the sheets you buy are large enough to completely cover the face of the door and then some.
Remove the fitting inset cabinet doors from the cabinet, using your screwdriver to remove the hinges. Put them on a workbench. Sand the surface of the doors with grinding machine. Do not attempt to erase the existing tabs; just get it boring and flat, remove shine. Measure the door in both directions. Transfer measurement for a piece of tabs. Add an inch around. Mark the incision with your pen and square on the back of tabs, over paper backing. Cut tabs with your user blade, cut through paper backing and deep scoring tabs. Break off the cuts. Pull the paper out of the veneer and press it immediately to the door, leaving an inch around. Tighten it firmly with the heel of the palms at different points.

Ohio Programs Awarded Grants for Crime Victim Services< < Back to
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio’s attorney general says more than 300 providers in Ohio are sharing $51 million in grant money for delivering services to crime victims.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says the money is awarded as a result of increased grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice. The fund is financed by federal settlements, fines and fees.
The funds will help agencies that provide services to at-risk youth and human trafficking victims, court-appointed special advocates and child advocacy centers.
An estimated $15 million will support services for domestic violence victims, nearly $10 million will go to prosecutor-based programs and another $9 million will help serving victims of sexual assault. About $1.3 million will help to implement a 24-hour statewide sexual violence hotline.

Oh, and Tesla just released it to everyone in North America.
With no fanfare, in the middle of the night before Thanksgiving day, when he knew journalists would be on holiday for the next four days, Elon Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta software is now available to everyone in North America.
Omar Qazi (@WholeMarsBlog) is Tesla’s leading advocate for Full Self-Driving on social media. He was identified by The Wall Street Journal as the person whose tweets Elon Musk responds to most often. He frequently reports long drives using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving without any failures. He even recruited a real child to stand in front of his Tesla to test whether or not it would run them over. He routinely insults anyone on Twitter who reports safety defects in Full Self-Driving.
On 19 October 2022, Tesla Full Self-Driving user Ross Smith detailed his experiences of the software, stating that: “Beta tried to kill me by making a left hand turn against oncoming traffic“, Tesla’s most prominent and vocal Full Self-Driving supporter, Omar Qazi, who runs the pro-Tesla Full Self-Driving “WholeMarsBlog” social media accounts, replied: “That’s normal. ”
that’s normal. it will get better

first impressions of fsd beta 10.69.3.1: it sucks @elonmusk
— Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog) November 19, 2022
this update is a stinker so far😂
— Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog) November 19, 2022
Three days after his public criticism of Full Self-Driving, Omar Qazi warned new users of the software : “If you’re trying Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta for the first time, it’s important to remember that it will at some point randomly try to kill you. This is a when, not an if.”
If you're trying Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta for the first time, it's important to remember that it will at some point randomly try to kill you. This is a when, not an if.
As such you must keep your hand on the wheel and be ready to takeover at any time. You must pay attention
— Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog) November 22, 2022
Qazi’s remarks about the latest 10.69.3.1 version of the software were made on November 22, 2022. These warnings were ignored by Elon Musk, who two days later on on November 24 2022, announced on Twitter that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software “is now available to anyone in North America”.
Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option.
Congrats to Tesla Autopilot/AI team on achieving a major milestone!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 24, 2022
Twelve days after Musk’s announcement, Omar Qazi again took to Twitter to publicly complain about problems with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software, saying that he is “kind of sick of FSD Beta.” He stated that he was “going to spend a week going back to driving manually”, and that not using Tesla Full Self-Driving is “so much faster, more efficient, and more comfortable that it’s not even funny”. Qazi further criticized the software, saying: “FSD Beta is like having a moron with three brain cells driving your car.”
To be honest i’m kind of sick of FSD Beta right now.
I’m going to spend a week going back to driving manually. I am so much faster, more efficient, and more comfortable that it’s not even funny.
FSD Beta is like having a moron with three brain cells drive your car @elonmusk
— Whole Mars Catalog (@WholeMarsBlog) December 6, 2022
In 50 years of driving only twice have I gone the wrong way down a one-way street. Elon Musk’s Full Self-Driving drove me the wrong way down a one-way street five times in one week.
Over the last two years, “beta” testers have reported to Tesla thousands of safety defects in Full Self-Driving that haven’t been fixed.
Tesla warns all Full Self-Driving customers that the software “may do the wrong thing at the worst time.”
The Dawn Project’s testing has determined that Elon Musk’s Full Self-Driving software cannot recognize many common traffic signs, including the following critical signs: Do Not Enter, Road Closed, One Way, No Right Turn on Red, or reduce speed signs for tight turns. It drives around school busses with their red lights flashing and stop sign extended; it ignores reduced school zone speed limits when children are present; and it will mow down a small child in a school crosswalk.
Why do we tolerate hundreds of thousands of these cars on our public roads?
Maybe 10% of the population seems to be drawn into high risk activities, like jumping out of airplanes, paying $44 billion for a money losing company you don’t want to own, or riding in a unfinished engineering prototype self-driving car which its greatest advocates say “sucks” and “is a stinker”; “it’s normal” for it to try “to kill” you “while making a left hand turn against oncoming traffic”; “it may do the wrong thing at the worst time,” and it “will at some point try to kill you.”
Tesla is putting two-ton 120mph homicidal experimental robots on our public roads using real children as crash test dummies. Tesla has no license or approval from anyone to sell a Full Self-Driving car to the general public. Full Self-Driving has not passed any government or industry standard inspections or testing. Elon Musk just shipped it (in the middle of the night) without asking anyone for permission.
Everyone agrees, advocates and detractors alike, that Full Self-Driving requires a fully attentive human supervisor ready to take control immediately when the Tesla tries to kill someone. But now Full Self-Driving is available to every alcoholic, coke head, depressed, psychotic, exhausted, schizophrenic, grief stricken, or suicidal person. Many of these people are clearly not capable of stopping Full Self-Driving when it tries to kill someone. But even in an addled mental state, they can tell Full Self-Driving to take them home, hoping that it can drive better than they can. But it can’t, so most likely it won’t make it home. And who knows how much collateral damage it will do to innocent bystanders who did not sign up for this public experiment.
Shipping this product to everyone is insane and immoral. This has gone way too far and we must stop it.
Releasing a Full Self-Driving car to the general public that will try to kill people is criminal recklessness and demonstrates a callous disregard for human life. People are going to die or be maimed for life. But advocates claim that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology will save millions of lives in the future. They say every day’s delay in its development and deployment will cost thousands of lives. They claim the benefits will easily outweigh all the casualties that are inevitable in the development of any new technology.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology is stone knives and bearskins compared to Google (Waymo), GM (Cruise), Toyota (pony.ai), Baidu, AutoX, and many others. These companies already have fully autonomous self-driving cars, with no driver or human supervisor, on the road in cities across the world offering Uber-like services. If anyone is going to save millions of lives with self-driving cars it will be one of those companies. It will not be Full Self-Driving Teslas. If Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software were to vanish from the face of the earth today it would be nothing but a boon for humanity.
Why do we let a bunch of reckless thrill-seeking nut jobs with a wanton disregard for human life threaten us and our families just to increase their profits? How high does the pile of bodies need to be before we pull a product off the market that we know will try to kill people, has no utility whatsoever, is hopelessly far behind the competition, will not save lives in the future, and is poorly engineered, designed, tested, and managed? Should we sacrifice even one innocent life for this? If we do, are we just as guilty as they are? We ran a survey of 1000 registered voters in California, and 70% of them said that even one death from Tesla’s testing of Full Self-Driving is too many.
Our surveys found that 85-93% of registered voters agreed that a Full Self-Driving car with these problems should be banned from our roads immediately. The DMV, NHTSA, FTC, SEC, Congress and every state legislature now have the facts that they need to ban this product immediately. Failure to act now will demonstrate to the criminals and the public alike that the inmates are now running the asylum.
To get any action from Tesla’s Board of Directors criminal charges must be brought against them. They know that their software will try to kill people. When it does, they are guilty of manslaughter at least. The Board of Directors has the power to withdraw their defective Full Self-Driving product from the market. But they won’t, because Elon Musk said that without Full Self-Driving, Tesla is “worth basically zero,” and the Board members are afraid that recalling Full Self-Driving could wipe out their millions of dollars of gains in Tesla stock and stock options. Probably nothing short of indictments will get them to act.


One of the greatest cars I've ever had!
By Honda Owner on
Vehicle2000 Honda Accord LX V6 4dr Sedan
ReviewWe've had this car now for over five years. It's been (and still is) a fantastic car! The sound system sounds great, even after eight years. The V6 engine makes it incredibly fun to drive. The only major mechanical problem we've had with the car was that the transmission went out about two years ago. Apparently this has been a problem for this particular Accord model. Honda replaced the transmission for free because the car had less than 100,000 miles on it. The only other complaint we've had with the car was that the leather on the driver's seat started cracking about four years after we bought the car. Other than that, it still runs and looks great
Best FeaturesV6 engine, audio controls on the steering wheel, sunroof, sound system, comfort, power seat, trunk space, "Homelink" system, reliability, sporty look, remote trunk opener, easy to read gauges, high resell value, great gas mileage, and overall durability.
Worst FeaturesNothing really. The transmission going out was a big problem, but, as I said, Honda replaced it for free. The quality of leather could be improved to prevent wear and tear from the constant use of the driver's seat.

Foreclosures in Centerville GA in March 2015
I keep hearing from consumers who are looking for REO homes who say there are not many to choose from. That is certainly the case for foreclosures in Centerville GA in March 2015! Currently, REO properties account for only 7.9% of the overall available inventory in Centerville GA. As a reminder, foreclosures often have special stipulations so ensure you are thorough with your research before making any assumptions on these distressed homes.
Currently, there are only 3 Centerville GA foreclosures available for buyers and investors to preview. The available REO properties in this city are priced from $45,600 to $189,900 with square footage from 1,159 up to 2,985. All of these properties have at least 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms.
Only 1 of these Centerville foreclosures has been on the market for less than 30 days. The details for this newer bank owned property is listed below (address, price, sq ft, subdivision, year built, BR/BA):
- 113 Shannon Lane, $45,600, 1,159, George Place, 1987, 3/2
The overall Centerville real estate market favors buyers (11+ months of available inventory) which is a bit misleading for this niche market. Since there are very few foreclosures in Centerville GA in March 2015 on the market, consumers must be prepared to make a quick and firm offer. As always, some REO properties may need some do-it-yourself care while others may be move in ready….you never know until you preview the property.

SIG's SIGNATURE PACK is aimed primarily at the food and beverage industries, but is said to also be applicable to pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals
Consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and sustainable packaging is behind the company’s development of the SIGNATURE PACK.
The SIGNATURE PACK drives the replacement of conventional plastics from fossil fuels with certified and sustainable plant-based polymer materials. The polymers used for laminating the paperboard and for making the spout originate from renewable European wood sources and are certified according to ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) or CMS 71 (TÜV SÜD certification standard), respectively, via a mass balance system. This means that for the polymers used in the SIGNATURE PACK, an equivalent amount of bio-based feedstock went into the manufacturing of the polymers.
The development an aseptic carton pack fully linked to renewable plant materials is challenging in that storing products in aseptic packages without refrigeration over a long period requires higher barrier requirements than chilled packages.

Predicting tomorrow’s technology today is tricky. Who could have forecast the Internet, smartphones, or Global Positioning Systems back in 1969? (Well, science fiction writers Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov came close.)
Technology grows quickly. Modern humans have been around for 200,000 years, yet the bulk of our technological progress has taken place in only the last couple hundred years, with the really good stuff happening in the last 50 or so. Moore’s law predicts computer power doubles every two years, but we’ve already outpaced that. The next 50 years are about shrinking the size of supercomputers until they become invisible.
Physicist Dr. Michio Kaku thinks computers will disappear as physical devices and become more like electricity. It will be everywhere and inexpensive, allowing the Internet of things to become a vast, global “smart” network, constantly improving on the ways it can serve man.
Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts direct connection of machines to the human neo-cortex by 2029. By syncing our brains with the cloud, we can all become walking brainiacs!
Siri and Alexa are already pretty smart, and they’re only going to get smarter. Voice-activated assistants will eventually replace phones and keyboards as the primary way to interact with the digitized world. We’ll talk to our cars, our homes, our appliances and even our printers (to find out what type of cartridges they need for example). And our devices will talk back, answering us with sound, thoroughly analyzed, data-based advice. Suddenly everyone will have a supersmart friend looking out for them. Thank you, Future!
Foldable, bendable, rollable digital screens will not only change cell phones but the way we design our living spaces. Michio Kaku envisions “smart wallpaper” which can not only broadcast amazing live sports and entertainment, but can diagnose health problems.
Digital paper will find its way into packaging. Products will literally call to you from store shelves. When you ask, they’ll tell you their ingredients, nutritional information, expiration date, and other information.
But traditional paper is also quite likely to stay (even after 50 years) as it has got certain specific advantages that are very hard for the technology to beat. In the worst scenario, physical paper will get integrated with digital and this will eventually lead to paper-digital hybrid forms that will provide an omni channel experience to users and consumers, but paper as such (as a medium and material) is highly likely to still be around in the next 50 years.
Rise of The Robots
You’ve already got a Roomba buzzing around the house, vacuuming up. Can a full service maid — like Rosie The Robot from The Jetsons — be far behind?
“Invisible robots” are already hard at work in 2019, from helpful customer support Chat Bots to unseen social media and shopping algorithms. These disembodied robo spirits need a solid, functional form. While humanoid robots may walk too close to the uncanny valley, expected robots to take physical form in fifty years.
Robot doctors are the next step in healthcare. Smart wallpaper and personal health scanners will reveal details of your body down to the level of an MRI or CAT scan. A “smart toilet” in the bathroom will instantly analyze your bodily fluids for any problems. If you need surgery, a human doctor will work alongside artificial intelligence and robot assistants optimized for your survival.
When asked to predict technological advances, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson believes that by 2069, we’ll have the ability to manipulate human genes to eliminate disease and illness, like cancer and birth defects. Aging will grind to a halt, or stop altogether. New body parts can be grown from the cells of the old — if something wears out, replace it with a new one!
Augmented reality won’t just be for children’s games, (though we thank you for your service, Pokeman Go!) By 2069, augmented reality will be used by soldiers and police officers sending avatars (or robots) to scout dangerous situations.
The power of augmented reality will help doctors perform intricate surgeries. AR can be used to monitor a patient’s vital signs and project digital images onto a patient’s body during surgery, creating a safer operating room.
Already augmented reality has changed the way both designers and engineers create. By combining digital data with the real world, expect major impacts on the worlds of gaming, commerce, and fashion over the next 50 years.
Self-driving cars are already here. So are Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing services. In fifty years these concepts will merge into one. Most everyone will have a robo-driver available to them. Many people will skip owning a car altogether, since it’ll be cheaper and easier to summon a ride as needed.
Automated vehicles could have the biggest impact on the shipping and transportation industries. Over-the-road truck drivers could be replaced with automated fleets that are cheaper and safer to operate.
The world in 50 years will still be a troubled place, but it will also be marked by amazing progress and a collective sense of hope. A pairing of brilliant human minds with machines will pave the road to tomorrow’s dreams!

Vomiting in cats is a necessary part of their grooming process, but it’s also something that should be monitored by owners. If your cat is vomiting regularly or very frequently, it may be time to take them in for a checkup.
Cats have a short digestive tract and are prone to hairballs and other gastrointestinal issues. When you notice your cat vomiting, first look at its litter box to make sure that they haven’t regurgitated any hairballs or food. You may also see signs of diarrhea if your cat is experiencing an upset stomach. If you notice blood in the vomit or feces, this is cause for concern and you should take your cat to see the vet immediately.
Vomiting is a symptom of many different illnesses in cats, including hairballs and food intolerances. In some cases, though, vomiting can be a sign of something more serious like intestinal blockage or parasites.
If you notice regurgitation in your cat, you should first try to stop it. Regurgitation is usually caused by eating too much or too quickly. You can prevent it by feeding less often or separating your cats during feeding. If the problem persists, however, you should see a vet to get the right treatment. If your cat is vomiting frequently and there is no other obvious cause, your cat may have a condition known as hepatic lipidosis.
Occasionally, your cat may regurgitate hair. This is not a cause for concern. However, if your pet consistently vomits hairballs, you should seek veterinary attention. Hairballs can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, anxiety, and an imbalanced gut microbiome. If your cat is vomiting a lot of hair, you may want to consult your veterinarian to determine the cause and the best course of treatment.
In cats with short hair, or who are not properly groomed, hairballs can cause vomiting. Using over-the-counter hairball products can help your pet pass hair through its digestive tract. However, do not give your cat any medication without consulting with a veterinarian. Ensure your cat is eating a balanced diet, and try not to give it too many treats or table scraps. Your cat may also be ingesting other items that are not food.
Hairballs can also cause your cat to cough and make similar noises, so it’s essential to identify the source of this unusual sound in your cat. While vomiting in cats may seem unrelated, it’s important to seek veterinary attention if you notice your cat coughing or spitting up hair. This could be a sign of a more serious health problem. However, many pet owners ignore coughing and hairballs in cats as an indication of a medical issue. While they are efficient, your cat may be coughing or spitting up puddles of liquid that have hair in it.
During the grooming process, cats swallow small amounts of hair and swallow them. When the excess hair reaches the stomach, it clings together and forms a hairball. Hairballs in cats may be easily expunged but can cause a blockage in the digestive tract, which is potentially fatal. In addition, your cat may experience nausea or vomiting if she has a hairball in its stomach.
Food allergies in cats can start at any age, from eight to twelve weeks, and are often treatable. However, the exact cause of food allergies is not known. It is a complex issue, which requires a holistic approach to restore the body’s equilibrium. Thankfully, a veterinarian can differentiate between food allergies and hypersensitivity by checking your cat’s feeding schedule and history. If you notice that your cat is vomiting after eating certain foods, it’s probably time to seek immediate medical attention.
Identifying cat food allergies can be a difficult process since there are many other health conditions that cause similar symptoms. Common tests, including a complete blood count, biochemistry profile test, and urinalysis, are not always accurate. The best way to identify a food allergy in cats is by trying an elimination diet, which involves removing a suspect protein or allergen from your cat’s diet.
The food you feed your cat is a significant factor in your cat’s allergic reactions, but a veterinary diagnosis is the best way to ensure your pet’s health. Luckily, there are a number of ways to diagnose food allergies in cats. First, you can try hydrolyzed protein therapeutic cat food, which is made from small pieces of the suspected allergen and a novel protein source that your cat will likely be unfamiliar with.
If your cat is suffering from a food allergy, you can help your cat avoid the allergen by changing the ingredients in its diet. By doing so, you can be sure that you’re not accidentally giving your cat a new food that will cause him or her to have an allergic reaction. This treatment is not permanent but will relieve your cat of the symptoms. If the allergic reaction reoccurs, it will be more serious.
In many cases, food allergy symptoms in cats are not serious. Itching may occur, but it may not be a symptom. A cat with a food allergy may be experiencing digestive problems. A cat that’s constantly scratching itself may also have a skin infection that could lead to secondary skin wounds. If your cat begins to experience vomiting and gastrointestinal issues, you should seek veterinary care immediately. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, it may be necessary to eliminate the specific allergen from your cat’s diet.
Although you should not be alarmed by the sudden onset of vomiting and hepatic lipidosis in cats, you should seek medical attention. You must not give your cat free choice regarding what food it will eat. Several methods are available for bringing food to your feline friend. Force-feeding your cat is a risky practice, and should only be used if you are very sure that he is suffering from the disease.
Your cat might exhibit other symptoms, such as lethargy, a loss of appetite, and yellowing of the skin. Hepatic lipidosis is caused by a combination of nutritional and toxic damage to the liver. This condition is often associated with chronic liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and pancreatitis. It may also be triggered by stress or other underlying conditions, such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism.
A doctor should perform routine blood tests to rule out other conditions. A blood test will assess the amount of red and white blood cells, and the level of various liver enzymes, including ALT, AST, and GGT. Lab analysis will also determine the amount of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice, or yellow skin, is also a sign of hepatic lipidosis, and an increase in bilirubin in the blood contributes to it. Moreover, electrolytes and kidney functions are also tested, to determine if dehydration or kidney dysfunction is the cause of the symptoms.
Besides a physical examination, a thorough history, and comprehensive blood work are needed to determine whether the cat is suffering from hepatic lipidosis. A bile acid test may be performed if your cat’s symptoms persist. If the condition is untreated, he could die. In severe cases, however, your veterinarian may suggest a liver biopsy, which is performed under anesthesia.
Your feline friend may also be experiencing abdominal discomfort or vomiting. The physical exam may reveal that he has an enlarged liver. If your feline companion loses appetite and weight, you should consult a veterinarian. Your cat may also have a loss of muscle mass and loss of appetite. Hepatic lipidosis is a very serious disease, and if left untreated, it can lead to liver failure and death.
Change in diet
Changes in the diet for vomiting in cats should not be undertaken on their own unless a vet feels it is necessary. Sometimes vomiting in cats can be a symptom of a more serious illness. If you notice that your cat is constantly vomiting, you should contact your vet immediately. They will likely recommend a bland diet or suggest something easier to digest. If you’re not sure what to do, read on for some helpful tips.
Changing your cat’s diet for the treatment of vomiting can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. You may try reducing the amount of time between meals and increasing the time between meals. But be careful when making such changes, as it might upset your cat’s stomach. Instead, make small changes in your cat’s diet slowly and carefully, starting with one food at a time. Your veterinarian will give you the go-ahead to make the changes.
You may notice a stage of nausea before vomiting starts. Vomiting occurs when your cat contracts its abdominal muscles and expels food, froth, or fluid. Vomiting is not the same as coughing, but the difference is significant. If your cat becomes restless or crouches on its hind legs, it might be experiencing a vomiting episode. Then, it may be experiencing diarrhea.
If your cat is vomiting because of undigested food, he may have intestinal parasites. Your cat may regurgitate a meal that was too large for him. If you suspect this, make sure to consult your veterinarian immediately. If your cat has a history of vomiting, your vet may perform a skin scrape or blood test. Regardless of the cause, you can try a change in diet for vomiting in cats to get rid of the symptoms.
Before making a change in diet for vomiting in cats, you should first research the foods your cat normally eats. Changing your cat’s diet may upset his digestive system. To make things easier, make sure to choose a meat-based diet. Meats like chicken and turkey are easy to digest and combine with rice and wheat. Try giving your cat at least two or three meals a day and wait for 20 to 30 minutes before offering a new meal. Repeat this process for a few days, increasing the new food and decreasing the old food until the vomiting has stopped.


This post is one of a series of essays from leading researchers in the weather community on the importance of proposed congressional legislation on improving weather forecasts and their communication.
Despite living in a world of intense political differences, nearly everyone can agree that timely, reliable and accurate weather information has great value.
Proposed legislation in Congress would support important advances in weather prediction that would have enormous societal benefit.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) has sponsored a “Seasonal Forecasting Improvement Act” (S.1331), a bill that would complement the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2015 (H.R.1551) already passed by the House and sent to the Senate for consideration.
S.1331 addresses multiple facets of the weather enterprise, but we think it’s best to focus on three sections that hold particular promise to advance its capabilities. These capabilities allow individuals and businesses to make smarter decisions based on short- and medium-term weather outlooks and improve our ability to protect life and property. Those three sections are: improving seasonal forecasting capabilities, maintaining the National Water Center and continuing the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program.
Improving seasonal forecasts
The weather enterprise is at a cusp in its ability to provide meaningful and skillful information about seasonal trends and the likelihood of extremes. As this information becomes more accurate and is communicated to businesses, government officials and the general public in ways that are easy to understand and fold into decision-making processes, we will start to see productivity gains and efficiencies and risk reduction similar to what we now see based on short-term forecasts.
Seasonal forecasting does not mean that anyone can credibly tell you on Labor Day what the exact high temperature will be on Thanksgiving, but it will provide meaningful information about averages and variations from those averages. This information is invaluable for agriculture, transportation, tourism and the retail and construction industries; in fact, most sectors of the economy will benefit.
The Senate bill strongly emphasizes the communication of this seasonal information down to the state and regional level. The bill also encourages NOAA to work with the Department of Defense and its seasonal forecasting program known as Earth System Prediction Capability. Having a coherent and unified federal strategy to advance this next frontier in weather prediction would be a significant achievement.
Maintaining the National Water Center
As the recent floods in Louisiana again tragically demonstrated, water kills, and it doesn’t always arrive with a major hurricane and all its attendant warnings.
While our forecasting skill has improved in general, flooding continues to be very challenging to both accurately predict and communicate with sufficient lead time, particularly those rare rain and flood events that come only every 100 or 1,000 years — imagine being the forecaster whose duty is to predict an event that has not been seen since the time of Columbus.
The National Water Center will integrate the best capabilities of the National Weather Service, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Flooding depends not only on how much rain falls over a given area and time, but also on the soil moisture and structure, existing stream and river flow, and natural and man-made enhancements — and impediments — to drainage. Placing these capabilities under one roof with a focused mission should improve NOAA’s ability to save lives and minimize property damage from extreme flooding situations.
Improving hurricane forecasts
Finally, S.1331 calls for a continuation of NOAA’s very successful Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP). Hurricane track forecasting has been one of the major, but unsung, accomplishments of the weather enterprise in the first part of the 21st century. For example, the average three-day errors in Atlantic tropical storm and hurricane track forecasts have fallen more than 50 percent in the past 20 years. HFIP has had strong NOAA and U.S. Navy support and a focused goal, and combined with adequate resources and strong management, HFIP has benefited the entire nation.
However, there is still work to do. Although some progress has been made, our ability to accurately forecast a hurricane’s intensity lags relative to our track forecasting skill.
We still have gaps in our ability to rapidly and accurately predict and communicate storm surge — especially for “nontraditional” storms whose wind profiles differ from that of a classic hurricane. And as we saw from both Sandy and Hermine, “hybrid” storms pose a particular communication challenge. S.1331 would direct NOAA to continue HFIP to work on these important issues.
There is much to build on in S.1331. The three areas we highlighted — improving seasonal forecasting, supporting the National Water Center and continuing HFIP — would enable our weather enterprise to be even more effective at saving lives and property and allowing businesses to optimize their strategies, rather than simply react to weather.
Despite challenges on the Hill, we hope that the House and Senate, and Congress members from both parties, can come together and pass this bill. It is good for the weather enterprise, but the real winners will be all our citizens.
