Rusty with 89-year old Alex Romero
Last week, Rusty had the great fortune to meet Hollywood dance legend, Alex Romero. Romero not only appeared in many musicals as a featured dancer ("On The Town," "An American In Paris"), but became one of Hollywood's most prolific film and television choreographers. His most famous work is the Elvis Presly "Jailhouse Rock" number. He began his dance career as part of a family Vaudeville act doing Spanish dancing. But when he saw tap dancing, that was it. He taught himself by watching other acts, and then taught his brothers. Good fortune brought him out to Hollywood, one thing led to another, and he soon found himself as Gene Kelly's assistant choreographer, a position he held for 40 years in addition to his own prinicipal choreography. He appeare in and then choreographed many of our favorite screen memories ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", "Belle of New York," "Barkley's of Broadway," "Tom Thumb," and "The Band Wagon").

Coming up on Sunday afternoon, August 18th, Mora's Modern Rhythmists will be on hand with their incredible vintage swing sounds! You won't want to miss them -- they are simply one of the most talented bands anywhere. The coordinator of the Concerts in the Park rushed up to Rusty and Peter at last Sunday's event at Polliwog Park and asked them to teach a basic swing class when Mora's band played next month. They said they would be delighted, so make sure to come down and bring all your friends who might be interested in this thing called swing, and help support Lindy by The Sea while you're at it! Rusty will still be out of town (WAY out of town -- St. Petersburg, actually...) but Peter will be there, teaching the lesson as best he can, with a special guest teacher yet to be announced... So make sure to set aside the time NOW to come down for a truly great afternoon of music and dancing in Manhattan Beach as Mora's Modern Rhythmists swing Polliwog Park!!!
That's right! Hats off to all of you! Compliments to you! We constantly hear what wonderful dancers you are out there in the social dance world...but we don't know if YOU hear it! And we don't mean just wonderful dancers, but NICE people, to boot! So here's something we would like to share with you that came our way via Jessica. Jessica was at a party recently and a woman named Angela Connaughton introduced herself and said the following to her (paraphrased):
As you all know by now, Rusty is off to Europe for several weeks of teaching, but realized that she wasn't getting paid enough over there to pay the rent when she comes home! If any of you would like to do privates -- please call her before Friday, so that she can set dates upon her return on August 21st. Tel: 310.606.5606
Make sure to mark your calendars now and tell all your friends that the next great series of swing dance classes in the South Bay begin on the first three days of September! Rusty and Peter will be returning with their trademark teaching style for another four-week series of classes in Lindy Hop and everyone is invited!!! Set aside the dates and plan on joining us -- and don't forget, for those of you who have been with us for awhile, you can always come back through the classes again to brush up your technique and styling, or learn the "other side"!! For more information on our classes and online pre-registration, click HERE
THE HERRANG DANCE CAMP -- Even as we speak, one of the greatest swing dance camps in the world is wel underway in Sweden! The Herrang Dance Camp, run by world-renowned Lindy Hop performers The Rhythm Hot Shots, is a spectacular month-long camp that immerses you in Lindy culture like nowhere else on Earth. You sign up for classes in week-long segments and for the span of that week, you eat, drink, live and breathe lindy hop with fellow swing-enthusiasts and world-class instructors! Classes run all day, and the dances run all night. It really is twenty-four hours of swing, six days a week! Our own Rusty Frank has been asked to come over to teach Lindy Hop and Tap Dancing for the final week of classes and it is quite an honor for her!!! Check out this website to learn more about this camp and see pictures of the place. And then keep your eyes peeled for all the updates when Rusty gets back...the camp is a little eccentric at times, and we'll all be keen to hear how she enjoyed it!
See you soon!
*Wondering what the heck a "gate" is? This was a phrase popularized by 1940's comedian, Jerry Colonna, who would holler it out every time he was introduced on the Bob Hope radio program. It was a friendly salutation to a swing cat (dancer or swing music enthusiast).

NEW YORK - What researchers found in the subway systems of the Big Apple is enough to make anyone sick. The Weill Cornell Medical College found traces of germs that could cause Bubonic Plague.
"New York City is not clean, so I would imagine that the subways are an example of what's happening pretty much throughout the city," one passenger said.
Meningitis and stomach bacteria were also found hitching rides. For nearly two years, benches, handrails, subway seats and turn styles were swabbed at 466 stations. Hungry riders left behind DNA from mozzarella cheese and chickpeas.
The germs will hardly keep passengers from riding the rails. Said one rider, "I have no choice. I have to use the subway. What am I going to do?"
New York's Department of Health disputes the results saying, "The bacteria that causes these diseases do not occur naturally in this part of North America."

UAE Tourist Visa Can Now be Extended by Up to 60 Days
The days of going on so-called 'visa runs' are officially a thing of the past. This is the latest breakthrough following an government announcement that will make extending your Dubai tourist visa much easier to do. Here are the details…
Your Dubai tourist visa can now be extended without exiting UAE
Anyone who has entered on a 1-month UAE tourist visa or 3-month visit visa can now extend their stay by up to 60 days. This can be done by applying for two consecutive 30-day visa extensions — removing the hassle of exiting and reentering the country.
After the visa expiry, individuals must leave the country or face fines. The cost to extend your stay will be AED 600 for each 30-day extension. The new system, announced by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, will be a major relief for jobseekers entering the UAE in search of employment, along with visitors who choose to live here on extended stays.

OKEECHOBEE — Bicycling options abound in Okeechobee and the surrounding counties. From the low traffic roads with wide, well-maintained shoulders to purpose-built, multi-use paths and the generally flat terrain, there is truly something for cyclists of all levels of fitness. Here is one of the most popular options available.
The LOST Trail
The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) at one time circled most of the big lake and was very popular with cyclists in the South Florida area. However, continued efforts by the Army Corps of Engineers to shore up and improve the dike and prevent failure of the 80+ year-old structure has impacted the amount of path available these days. Years in the past, a rider could get on a bike in the parking lot of the park at Port Mayaca and ride all the way to the Kissimmee River, only getting on the road to get around the lock at Taylor Creek. The same was true on the south side of the lake, as there was path from Pahokee all the way through Clewiston to the lock at Moore Haven. Efforts to improve the dike and repair or replace large concrete culverts have reduced much of the path on the south side of the lake into a construction zone with no access. However, for the time being, there are still many miles of good riding on the north end of the lake.
With plenty of parking available at the S-191 structure at Nubbin Slough, a cyclist can ride 17.3 miles south to Port Mayaca, without ever crossing a gate or venturing out onto the road. Once through the gate at S-191 and heading south, the path crosses two other control structures that you can ride across.
The first is the Henry Creek lock, where there is parking and a boat ramp. The second is Chancy Bay Creek lock which also has parking and a boat ramp. Be aware, however, that there are no facilities (water or bathrooms) available in this nearly 18-mile distance and as the views are wonderful from the top of the dike on this ride, because of the elevation of the path, the winds can be difficult at times. There is a gate across the path at the north end of the Port Mayaca park, but again, no facilities are available there. There is lots of parking, great views of the lake and the ability to see boats locking into and out of the lake at Port Mayaca, making it a good place to linger for a while before returning to your starting point.
Another nice section of path, but shorter than the distance to Port Mayaca is the trail between the trail head near the Kissimmee River on Hwy. 78 and Taylor Creek, with good parking found where the dike crosses Hwy. 78, just south and west of town near the river. This short section is quite popular with walkers and runners as well as cyclists and midway through its distance is found the new public restroom and parking lot at the Lock 7 park which also has a brand new parking area and a switchback ramp from the lot to the path at the top of the dike that is easy to ride on a bicycle.
The section of the path between Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough is no longer available to ride, caused by a landowner denying access to the trail at Taylor Creek, and replacement of a culvert about midway between the two points by the Army Corps of Engineers. Further south on State Road 78, Glades County has been busy building a NEW paved multiuse path along the lake. The first new section constructed parallels the highway from the dike just south of Lakeport to where the dike is crossed again a distance of 3.2 miles. Three years ago, a connector was completed from Moore Haven to the south end of the path along Hwy. 78, but it was quickly closed as the Army Corps of Engineers is working to replace one of the original culverts under the dike and has defined a construction zone that allows no access to this new portion of the path.
Glades County has continued with their efforts, however, and last winter opened a new section of path from the bridge across the Harney Pond Canal, south along the dike, over the Lakeport lock and connecting to the older portion of the path, where State Road 78 crosses the dike, just south of Old Lakeport Road. This new path, with parking found on its southern end is lightly used and allows great views of the lake as well as residential Lakeport.
A highlight of that section is an area adjacent to the lock itself with stone piles sticking out of the dike and called "The hikers cemetery" as the exposed stones resemble headstones. By crossing the Harney Pond Canal Bridge on Hwy. 78, you can continue on this path down the length of the Harney Pond Park, and can find restrooms, as well as easy access to Beck's Store for food and drinks. When the construction is cleared, and the path is open again, it will be easy to ride off the road from the Harney Pond Canal park in Lakeport all the way to the lock at Moore Haven.
For more information about the LOST, the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a web page that lists closures and provides a map of the path and distances between access points. It is: http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Recreation/Lake-Okeechobee-Scenic-Trail/.

6 Turkish journalists referred to court on 24th day of detention
Six journalists who were detained in an operation on Dec.25 were finally referred to court on Tuesday, the 24th day of their detention.
Police teams detained the six journalists — DİHA news manager Ömer Çelik, one of the editors of the Diken news portal, Tunca Öğreten, the Birgün daily's accounting supervisor Mahir Kanaat, DİHA reporter Metin Yoksu, the Etkin News Agency's Derya Okatan and the Yolculuk daily's Eray Sargın — during simultaneous raids in İstanbul and Diyarbakır.
Okatan has been on a hunger strike for 23 days.
Before the referral of the six journalists to court, their colleagues met in front of the İstanbul Courthouse where they issued a press statement demanding the release of the detained journalists.
Due to a state of emergency which went into effect in Turkey following a failed coup attempt on July 15, the period of detention has been increased to 30 days from four days.
The journalists were reportedly subject to police violence. According to a report by the Dihaber news agency, police teams raided Çelik's house in Diyarbakır's Kayapınar district, and as soon as the family opened the door, Çelik's mother and wife were made to lie on the floor.
One of the officers reportedly dragged Çelik to the living room and began beating him while shouting: "You report the news, huh! Come on, write a report now. You are an Armenian b*stard. Come on, write a report now."
In the meantime, another officer reportedly pointed a gun at Çelik's mother and asked her: "Why did you make your son a journalist? Why did you permit it?"
After almost half an hour of abuse, the police handcuffed Çelik and took him to police headquarters. They also confiscated the mobile phones of all present as well as books and flash cards. Cumhuriyet reported that a confidentiality order has been imposed on the case.

In May 2010 Networking & Learning re-launched as The Scottish Practice Management Development Network (SPMDN).
To advance the role of General Medical Practice Management through the development of high quality, easily accessible and locally relevant networks providing information, support, education and representation for practice managers.
The Menu for Practice Management Development was initially developed to support the Vocational Training Scheme (VTS) for General Practice Management; by providing a list of the topics a Practice Manager (PM) needs to know, together with links to the relevant documentation and contractual information.
It is a living document, updated annually to meet the changing demands of General Practice and Government Strategy, and will be a valuable developmental tool to both new and experienced PMs. The menu has been updated and can be found in the resources page : click here
The Menu has many potential uses e.g.:
Developing Policies, Protocols and Procedures Toolkit was initially developed by one of our Practice Manager Trainers, to advise Trainees of the difference between effective Policies, Procedures and Protocols and the importance of considering the Practice culture when developing them. The toolkit contains several change management tools with advice on how best to use them.
Each year we deliver a Practice Managers Conference. Next year's conference will be held on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th May in Edinburgh.
The National Co-ordinator is Tracey Crickett.
There are three parts to her role
1) Co-ordinator of the Practice Management Development Network supported by sixteen Local Co-ordinators with direct contact with the Practices Managers in their local Health Board area.
2) Programme Lead of the Practice Manager Vocational Training Scheme, responsible for ensuring the training programme is strategically planned, developed and delivered - more of this on the General Practice Manager Vocational Training Scheme page.
3) Represents Practice Management on a range of National Committees and working groups, cascading information back to Practices via the Local Co-ordinators.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A teenager with a non-critical gunshot wound showed up at the Sheraton Memphis Downtown Hotel Saturday afternoon, Memphis Police said.
Police said the shooting was the result of a child custody dispute at a house in the New Chicago neighborhood, more than two miles from the hotel.
Jermaal Dotson was charged with three counts of aggravated assault in the incident.
According to a police report, a woman and three other people showed up at the home of Dotson, her child's father, in the 1100 block of Dunlap. Dotson had custody over the weekend, but the mother had come to pick up the child.
Once there, witnesses say Dotson and the mother got into a dispute that escalated into threats. When the group got into a car, Dotson allegedly went into the house, got a gun and began shooting at them.
One person in the car was shot in the back. He drove to the Sheraton Hotel on North Main Street for help, though it is not clear why he went to that address.
On Sunday evening, police confirmed that the victim was 15-years-old.
The mother of the victim told WREG's Symone Wooldridge his name is James Webb.
Jacquelyn Bland, who lives in that neighborhood, said they heard several gunshots.
"They was like, bang bang. There were no small guns. They were big guns and they were loud guns. And whatever we got down here in this neighborhood, they need to get out of here," Bland said.

The Government, it seems, is concerned that local authorities are not doing enough to prepare for Brexit.
In a breathtakingly brazen attempt to get the blame in early, civil servants have raised concerns about how councils will handle Brexit – despite the fact central Government still hasn't managed to pull together a plan to get past Parliament. It begs the question: what exactly is local government preparing for?
Only last month – more than two years after the public voted to leave the European Union in the referendum – MHCLG asked nine council chiefs to co-ordinate Brexit plans for their respective regions.
Until now, there has been no funding for council Brexit plans. Now it is here, it's too little to make a significant difference and too late for proper planning.
Contrast this to the estimated 4,000 civil servants in London, working on the Government's plans and it is unsurprising if councils are a bit behind the curve.
For some Government departments Brexit issues are clear, if somewhat complicated. But for local government there is an array of possible scenarios to plan for.
Contingency care staff; standby services; back-up food banks; protecting ports; civil unrest – the list of plans drawn up for the worst-case scenario is endless. Only last week, James Brokenshire wrote to councils with a checklist – just two months before Brexit day. The question is, did the Government not know what was needed from local government until now or did they just not want to write it down?
Now the missives from the ministry are coming thick and fast – with little co-ordination and even less coherent communication.
In reality, local government is, mostly, at its best in an emergency. In the event of soaring food prices and civil unrest, the sector will, I have no doubt, rise to the occasion. Pitching in to protect people and places and pulling together communities is what councils do.
Calling on councils at the 11th hour is one thing and fearing they will fail is another – but let's not play pass the buck until something has actually gone wrong.

Are firefighters at a greater risk of cancer? It makes sense that they would be. While buildings once consisted primarily of wood, metal, glass and textiles, today's structures are riddled with asbestos, plastics, polymers and chemical coatings. The housing of a television set, for example, contains benzene, ethylene oxide and formaldehyde, all of which are known to cause cancer. These materials make home fires burn hotter and faster and result in toxic smoke.

What toys should I avoid this holiday season?
Whether you've just started shopping for the little ones in your life or the gifts are already under the tree, adults with children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews should know just because a toy looks fun doesn't mean it's safe.
Goodyear G159 tires linked to over 100 deaths, never recalled
Did confidential settlements prevent safety regulators from learning about all crashes involving Goodyear's G159 tires? According to an investigation by to the transportation and vehicle website Jalopnik, at least one crash involving the tire was never recorded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration -- possibly because the people involved were prevented from notifying NHTSA by a confidentiality agreement.
Improperly calibrated breath testing machines do occur
Most DUI arrests and convictions are based on the results of a breath testing machine such as the Intoximeter, Intoxilyzer, Alco-Sensor or Alcotest. As a result, attorneys defending DUI cases often question the accuracy and validity of the breath test. These machines can cause inaccurate results when they are used by untrained personnel, used improperly, or calibrated improperly, as well as in some other circumstances. When evidence suggests the machine may have been used or calibrated improperly, the test results may be found inadmissible.
High-visibility DUI enforcement season about to begin
The holiday season, beginning at Thanksgiving and continuing until after the first of the year, is a dangerous time of year. It's party season, and that means more people will drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Therefore, it's also high-visibility enforcement season.
FDA seeks to ban most flavored e-cigarettes at retail locations
E-cigarettes and nicotine vaporizers have been under increasing scrutiny after dramatic increases in their use by young people. The rate of traditional tobacco smoking is at a record low, but vaping nicotine is increasingly popular among underage youth. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration believes part of the problem is the delicious-sounding flavors vaporizer fluids come in. Therefore, the agency plans to issue a regulation restricting the sale of flavored e-cigarettes at brick-and-mortar retail locations. In addition, it plans to require online purchasers to submit verification of their age.
New traffic safety research targets wrong-way driving crashes
A Florida State University psychology professor has been researching how to prevent wrong-way driver crashes for the Florida Department of Transportation. His research indicates that advanced-technology pavement markers and "smarter" signs could help prevent wrong-way driving, especially among drivers who have been drinking.
Justice Department scrutinizing asbestos trusts for mismanagement
When companies expose workers or customers to asbestos and people develop asbestos-related diseases, those companies can be held legally responsible. Asbestos has been used in various applications due to its heat- and fire-resistance. Unfortunately, it causes the deadly cancer mesothelioma and other serious illnesses.
Avoiding a Thanksgiving DUI
Thanksgiving brings families together for celebrations that involve intense eating of food and drink. It is what makes the holiday so beloved for so many. As the holiday approaches, celebrants who are driving to a party should be cautious not to imbibe too much alcohol with their meals, as it can be dangerous for everyone on the road.
Man alleges asbestos led to lung cancer
In a recent lawsuit, a 68-year-old man alleges that asbestos on work sites led to his lung cancer.

Forgive: "as we also forgive our debtors."
Disclaimer: forgiveness can be complex. This is a single blog post about the importance of and basic principle of forgiveness. This is not a comprehensive discussion. Ok. Proceed.
Matthew 6:14-15
"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Mark 11:25
"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
Colossians 3:12-14
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
It's pretty clear that it's not just a nice suggestion that we forgive. It's a requirement. Jesus is the one who said (see above), "If you do no forgive others their trespasses, neither with your Father forgive yours." This seems harsh to us because 1) our current ideological culture doesn't do condemnation of any kind, and 2) it IS harsh, but for good reason.
Reason: Jesus took the fall for ALL THE SINS, FOR ALL TIME. He covered every single sin of humanity EVER for God to forgive us all forever. Energetically speaking, the darkness of resentment (the product of unforgiveness) and the light of love cannot exist in the same space. In order to be forgiven (filled with his light/love) we MUST forgive to make space for it.
Why do we confess regularly? Because even though we've been taken into God's family humans aren't capable of being perfect and continually miss the mark. The purpose of regularly asking for forgiveness is two fold. It teaches us dependency on God's goodness. It prevents darkness from building up inside us like a Tetris level that's too hard, which prevents us from receiving his blessings because then there's no room for light.
Action: So all I have to do is forgive. THAT'S ALL. HA. Talking about forgiving is much easier than actually forgiving. There is SO MUCH material about how to forgive and what it is and all that. I'm going to just over-simplify this: Forgiveness is a decision and not a feeling. Again, the power of words! Saying "I forgive" even when you don't feel it is the action (sacrifice!) necessary from us. And as times goes by because you're saying it it will become your truth. No need to be flowery. Just the simple statement is what's important.
"I forgive (enter their name)."
"I forgive (enter event/action)."
"I forgive myself." (!!)
Make this a daily meditation. As many names as you need to insert, say them out loud. Just say it. The change will start. You'll see. I promise that if you ask with a genuine heart to be made willing to forgive that the change will come. And DON'T SKIP forgiving yourself!
Really Important Note: the next time you feel like you haven't forgiven that person or event and you feel disappointed with yourself because you thought you forgave this already remember,
"I have already forgiven (insert here). I will not listen to this lie." And keep going. Because it IS a lie that the bad guy LOVES to use against us. Put up that shield of faith and squash that lie.
Remembering the old hurt DOES NOT un-do your decision to forgive. It's the fixating on or obsessing over a wound that keeps it alive and builds resentment. Keep on with your forgiveness meditation. Some wounds are deep and take years to heal and also years to forgive. Just keep on.
God sees your keeping-on and your desire to forgive. That's what matters.
Another really important note: if you've had serious trauma please seek counseling because there's more to that and you need and deserve to heal. The path of healing and forgiveness in the midst of that kind of hurt needs more than an over-simplified blog post. I have a few referrals if you need them.

The 2Jy sample is a survey of radio galaxies with flux densities above 2 Jy at 2.7 GHz. As part of our ongoing work on the southern subset of 2Jy sources, in paper I of this series we analysed the X-ray cores of the complete 2Jy sample with redshifts 0.05 < z < 0.7. For this work we focus on the X-ray emission associated with the extended structures (jets, lobes, and environments) of the complete subset of 2Jy sources with 0.05 < z < 0.2, that we have observed with Chandra. We find that hotspots and jet knots are ubiquitous in FRII sources, which also inhabit systematically poorer environments than the FRI sources in our sample. Spectral fits of the hotspots with good X-ray statistics invariably show properties consistent with synchrotron emission, and we show that inverse-Compton mechanisms under-predict the X-ray emission we observe by 1–2 orders of magnitude. Inverse-Compton emission is detected from many of the lobes in our sample, and we find that the lobes of the FRII sources show magnetic fields lower by up to an order of magnitude than expected from equipartition extrapolations. This is consistent with previous results, which show that most FRII sources have electron energy densities higher than minimum energy requirements.

7 Tips To Sell Your House in Bad Condition
Whatever the condition and location of the house are, selling it has never been easy. But, for poorly conditioned houses, it gets difficult to convince the buyer that the price is worth spending. As Houston is prone to natural calamities, the request to sell a house fast in Houston comes frequently.
In my past years of experience, I have noticed I think that the sellers treat the bad conditioned house in the same way as a new and revamped one. The thing they don't understand is a few here and their tricks can better the selling price for the same home.
So, here I will provide you with my most recommended tips to sell your house in bad condition:
1. Learn about the current real estate market
You can consult a local real estate agent to understand how buyers perceive the market. They would know about the prices of the houses selling in your nearby area. Don't hesitate to ask about the factors considered to understand today's market.
2. Determine the quality of your location
Location is one of the most crucial aspects while selling your house but people often neglect this. So, don't forget to mention all the pros and cons of your surrounding area. If your house is situated far from the market, railroad, etc., you can talk to your local agent as what you could talk about to the buyer.
3. Evaluate your personal situation
Take note of how urgently you want to sell your house. Remember, to weigh the perspective of the buyer because if they sense your urgency, they will adopt a more aggressive tone of the negotiation. And in case you are not eager to sell your house, I recommend waiting to get the desired price for your home.
4. Anticipate buyer objections
Being a poor conditioned house, the buyer will always try to find faults even in the minutest of details. Hence, minor renovation such as paint color, lighting, and woodwork mostly in the kitchen and bathroom area can increase your home price and make it look attractive. Issues such as faulty electric system and flooding basement will cost huge and take a lot of time to repair. Hence consider these factors into an initial valuation.
5. Map your cost-benefit analysis
Analyze your home and decide on what all repairs you are going with. After that, make a spreadsheet stating all the cost incurred in those repairs. The cost should not be very high you cannot add to the house prices.
6. List your home
If you are ready to explore the market in detail, you can put your home for sale. Thereby the prospective buyers will start visiting your home. For that, you can take photos in good lighting, write an eye-catching advertisement, etc.
7. Hire a reliable real estate agent
If your house is in poor condition, it is advisable to leave it in a reliable real agent's hand. This is crucial to get the fair price of your house. The experts know which part to hit so that the buyers get interested in your buying. Moreover, he knows how to advertise your house and how to represent it properly.
Summing up:
The above pointers will help you to know what all tasks you have in hand before relying completely on the real estate agent. Moreover, don't hesitate to get clarity from your agent on what is going in the process of selling. You can also contact us to sell your house for cash if you are in urgent need of money and want to sell your house for it.

U.S. Navy Plans for Special Operations Training in Maui County (and beyond)
The U.S. Navy in its practice for war has a history in Maui County. Among other actions, the Navy used our eighth largest Hawaiian island, Kaho'olawe, a place sacred to Hawaiians, for target practice. Starting in 1941, Kaho'olawe was transformed into a bombing range with ship-to-shore bombardment and later with American submarines testing torpedoes by firing them at shoreline cliffs. They even simulated the blast effects of nuclear weapons on shipboard weapon systems. Although Kaho'olawe is about six miles from Maui, our island windows shook at the bombing impacts. During the Navy testing and practice, a few of the torpedoes missed – and landed on Maui!
Despite decades of protest, the Navy continued the bombings until 1990! The results: a dead island where although over 9 million tons of debris and un-exploded ordinances have been removed, no one can live, no one can even visit without getting special permission because it is still too dangerous to be there. I can see Kaho'olawe from the deck of my house. The Navy spent millions to clean it up, but there are still un-exploded Navy bombs there; I'm not likely ever to go there.
The U.S. Navy has a new plan. According to the January 4, 2019 edition of "The Maui News," the Navy says, "[T]here will be no live-fire or amphibious assault craft and aircraft landings as part of their proposed exercises around Maui County . . .The Navy is proposing nearshore water training in the county, which will include naval special operation personnel diving and swimming and launching and recovering small vehicles designed to operate underwater" (A 1).
Also, the Navy had said they would accept public comment until today (January 7) – but before the deadline, they announced they had decided to go ahead with their proposals!
What the Navy says in its plan to go ahead with training exercises is much more limited than what it puts forth as possibilities in the four huge volumes of its Hawaii-Southern California plan.
A Navy training area site on Maui looks close to the Kihei Canoe Club, Maui Canoe Club, the Pinks, the Kihei Youth Center, many homes, townhouses, vacation condos, and the longest uninterrupted white sand beach in our state. Also nearby are Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge and the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (the only U.S. sanctuary dedicated to the protection of humpback whales and their marine environment); the critically endangered hawksbill turtles nest along these beaches.
Images below are from the Navy's proposal on display at our Kahului Public Library:
Report and images from <http://go.usa.gov/xUnDC>
Please join me and many others in Hawaii (and beyond); say NO to U.S. Navy practice for war — above, on, and below our beautiful ocean waters, off shore, near shore, and on land!
Instead, the U.S. Navy could practice peace. Because of the changing climate and the resulting weather related impacts, the Navy could be sending out forces for training and rescue and rebuilding. They could do more missions of real search and rescue: people need help in Indonesia, Saipan . . . California. Flint, Michigan could have all its corroded water pipes replaced. The infrastructure needs in the U.S. are endless. Our military personnel could be learning useful and welcomed skills.
If you live on Maui, have visited here, or want to come some day, let your voice be heard. If you care about humpback whales, Hawaiian monk seals, endangered marine life, coral, let your voice be heard. Our U.S. military could be instruments of peace.
If it is still January 7, 2019, where you are, please let the U.S. Navy know how you feel by sending an email to <email@example.com>.
Then, any time, please email Hawaii Governor David Y. Ige at <https://governor.hawaii.gov/>. Whether you live here or not, he needs to know what you think.
We live in a very special place of Hawaiian aloha and beauty. We hope you find it that way when you come to visit.
In Peace & Aloha, Renée

I added a catorgoy to the pages section and if i dont during , then after upgrade of this section you should be able to move catorgories to there if you like ;) hope alls well bud.. RobThis post was edited by Rob Oliver at August 5, 2011 8:23 AM PDT
In the grand scheme of things it is a minor request I guess. I notice however that when I created my albums and pput my videos up that there was no carp category. Sure we can put them in freshwater/other or Monster fish ( if we are lucky lol ) but as the site grows and we get more folks, especially from Europe, it would be nice to have a label all our own :).
My thanks in advance, I know running websites can be tedious at times heh, though yours is far better then my own amateur attempt!

Veterans FAQs
While I was a Marine, stationed at Camp Pendleton, I was bit in the face by a dog and lost 1/4 of my upper lip. I was sent to the Navy hospital in San Diego, where they did surgery to piece my upper lip back together. What I ended up with was a big lump where my lip was, and then no lip to the right of that. Fortunately, my mustache covers most of it, so people don't really notice. I am already at 30% disabled for a bad ankle, and peripheral neuropathy cause by repeatedly injuring the ankle. Can I file an entirely different claim for my facial scar caused by the dog bit?
Answer Question
A1: Was this a military dog? If so I would say yes. (GD) 5/24/19
A2: Yes. VA does rate scars and facial scars are rated more because they are so visible,as the face is where people look at you and are considered more disfiguring. Hope I worded that correctly. BTW you can file a claim for "anything," it's whether or not you can win. (RH) 5/24/19
A3: That's a Yes. Every Penny add up just like every event or injury add up. File. Good Luck. (TG) 5/24/19
A4: Yes, the VA will comp you for scars. My experience is for small scars on my far head from rash I had in 1969. I was turned down but in 2010 I had a C&P for the old rash, which was gone but the Dr measured the scars and I received 20%. Good luck. (JM) 5/24/19
A5: Yes....there is no limit to the number of claims you are permitted to file. That does not mean that you claim will be approved or that it is compensable. Additionally, anytime a claim is made, your entire file might be up to review. (NB) 5/24/19

text: So I've taken a good look at this story I'm writing, and I've been trying to make every character more realistic while still keeping the major events I've planned. One such character is the love interest. In the story, the protagonist MUST develop a romantic relationship with her (long story short, she embodies the good and bad of order and law in the protagonists life), but she has changed through my revisions: Damsel in Distress (happy to be rid of that stage) Love Interest companion (still kinda useless) Love Interest with many useful skills (hmm, needs backstory...) Hunter who Accidentally Killed Her Parents (that's messed up. good, let's keep that up) Smug Girl with Punk Hair that Killed Her Parents to Join Elite Guard Everything in her backstory leads to her being mostly unlikable. She still has human emotions, and will regret killing her parents, but I would like some suggestions as to how to make her a likable and relatable character. Also, feel free to share any characters you have had a hard time with!

The University of Texas announced Wednesday the creation of a statewide sports network that will carry games plus academic, cultural and arts programming. The unnamed channel will focus on the Longhorns, unlike the Big Ten Network, which has a broader, conference-wide focus.
ESPN will own and operate the network and pay $300 million over 20 years, two-thirds of it to the university and one-third to IMG College, which already owns some of the university's rights.
The ownership arrangement differs from the Big Ten channel's; in that case, the conference owns 51 percent and Fox Cable Networks the rest.
The Texas network plans to show 200 sports events a year, including at least one football game and eight men's basketball games because of the Big 12 Conference's existing contractual commitments to ESPN/ABC and Fox Sports Net. Burke Magnus, ESPN's senior vice president for college sports, said that the Texas channel would televise as much as it can that is not contracted elsewhere.
But, he added, the channel will be able to replay games that have been shown on ESPN and ABC, will have access to the university's archives and will carry coaches' programs and pep rallies.
It will also televise high school sports and have a broadband companion.
"And we're going to get creative on original programming," Magnus said.
He added, "The University of Texas has among the most passionate fan bases for any sports team, college or pro, in the nation. Fans clamor far and wide for information about their teams and student-athletes." He added, "We plan to bring unprecedented exposure to the University of Texas."
The university said that its payment from ESPN would go to academic and faculty programs, among them endowing new chairs in the physics and philosophy departments.

Reading Workshops
Students who need help mastering reading- or writing-related skills could find a monthly workshop helpful. Devote a few hours a month (after school) to leading a workshop on skills such as creative writing, reading comprehension, standardized test-taking or speed-reading. For younger students, offer help with writing in cursive, forming letters or reading aloud. Ask older, high-achieving students to lead the workshops. Provide the workshops free of charge and serve light refreshments.

According to The Hollywood Reporter director David Ellis (who directed the diabolically evil "Final Destination 2") is returning to the "Final Destination" franchise with part 4.
The best news, part 4 will be in 3D! Yup…. New Line has just got my $10 Dollars.
I for one can't wait for this movie. I really enjoyed part 1. And part 2 was a whole other experience. Aside from the brilliant car accident in "Death Proof" I still don't think I have seen a spectacular car wreck like the one featured in part 2. The "Final Destination" movies fly under the radar. They make money, are pretty good, but a lot of people won't cop to being fans of the series. I for one enjoy going to see these movies with my friends because they almost always ensure a good time at the multiplex.
New Line re-hiring David Ellis to return is just a good look for the studio. Part 3 had it's moments, but it was nowhere near as good as part 2.
Here is a bit of The Hollywood Reporter Article:
David R. Ellis is coming back to New Line for more death, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The director has signed to direct and develop "Final Destination 4," the latest installment of New Line's popular horror series, which the studio plans to shoot in 3-D.
The premise of the series is that even if you cheat death once, a force that is death itself will stalk you until it finishes what is started, usually in a gruesome fashion. While plot details for "FD4" are being kept under wraps, the movie will stand alone: It will feature new teens facing new forms of death.
The script was written by Eric Bress, who co-wrote "Final Destination 2." Ellis directed the second installment, which was praised for its elaborately orchestrated killings.
With a new "Friday The 13th" remake and now "Final Destination 4" it looks like New Line Cinema is going to try hard to pose a serious threat to Lionsgate and "Saw".

Most types of grapes need a few things to thrive: limited humidity, high elevation, and dry summers. In other words, they need pretty much the exact opposite of what Miami offers.
So why do Miami-Dade County officials think the area is prime for wineries? They've traveled to the Finger Lakes Region of New York for inspiration and eased county regulations to allow wineries in Miami-Dade's agricultural area. Now they're developing tours to show off winemaking opportunities to industry bigwigs in the hopes some will be convinced to set up shop here.
"We are a very eclectic growing region," says Charles LaPradd, the county's agriculture manager. "We produce a tremendous amount of things. Grapes don't happen to be one of those things, but we produce a tremendous amount of fruit that wine can be made from."
Yet 20 years of pursuing the idea has so far produced just one winery, Schnebly, a Homestead operation that makes wine from tropical fruits. Experts say there's little reason that regular winemakers would be interested in moving to a state where muscadine grapes are the only variety that can be reliably grown.
"I think there are limited opportunities for wineries in South Florida, at least in terms of using local fruit," says Michael Kaiser, director of public affairs for WineAmerica, the national association of American wineries. "Sweet, native grapes that make muscadine wine can be grown in Florida, but they are not really taken seriously by a lot of wine drinkers."
The idea to bring wineries to Miami-Dade came from Commissioner Dennis Moss, whose district includes the agricultural region. He's actually been pushing for wineries since 1995, convinced they offer a way to preserve farmland as developers snatch up more and more land in the county. He paved the way for the 2005 opening of Schnebly by sponsoring changes allowing wineries in the area.
"At the end of the day, it may prove to be the way to make the land valuable enough so farmers aren't tempted to accept these very, very lucrative offers to sell to developers," the commissioner told Miami Today at the time.
More than a decade later, Schnebly's remains the county's only winery. Statewide, there are 30 certified Florida farm wineries. There are none in Broward, though Palm Beach County has one, Sons & Daughters Farm and Winery, which uses tropical plants for its wine.
Those pushing the concept say Miami-Dade's status as a tourist destination, its large agricultural area, low taxes, and, yes, climate are enough pieces to make wineries work even without grapes.

If they don't use tropical fruits or muscadine grapes, they can bring in juice that would be fermented or wine that would be bottled, says James Kohnstamm, a senior economic development specialist with the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade's economic development organization. But would winemakers be interested in that kind of opportunity?
"We're very optimistic on the broader concept," says Kohnstamm, whose organization is working on the winery idea alongside Moss and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. "How that actually comes about, what model ultimately is proven successful, I think is to be seen, but there's certainly a huge market here for wine."
Last month, LaPradd and the visitors bureau hosted a meeting for local residents who are influential in the wine industry. LaPradd says there's been some interest so far. A tour of the area is being organized for local wine distributors, winery owners, and industry groups outside Miami, as well as tour operators, travel agents, and travel media.
No money has been spent on the project, LaPradd says, but that could change: A report presented to county officials this week says that "to increase the impact of these tours, there needs to be a well-funded marketing strategy" to promote the area. The report says there is no such funding available at this time.

Good Afternoon! Did you see my post this morning? Are you curious about what I made that took me less than an hour? Here ya go…
I know some might think this looks like I did this in grade school (laugh) but I like it. Art is in the eye of the beholder. And this makes me happy. Besides, it brightens my laundry room up.
Here's my inspirations. I apologize for not being able to provide a link on the left. I had pinned it to my DIY and Craft Inspiration Board on Pinterest, but when trying to open my virus ware blocked it as a potential spam site. The picture on the right is wrapping paper and I just love the bright flowers.
So I grabbed my supplies…
- canvas art board
- circle stencil
- painter pens (I used ones by Decor)
- buttons
I actually did this twice, but each time was less than an hour to make. The first time I did the circles, was not happy, tried to make flowers out if it, then hated it.
Thank goodness for Rust Oleum semi-gloss white spray paint. Another fresh canvas and I was happy. I also decided to add a few colorful buttons. I hung the picture in my laundry room next to my welcome sign and a picture I've had for over 20 years. That's a tea towel that Hubby and I brought back from Australia and we framed it.
Have you been creative lately?

Samsung Gear S3 has an elegant design. It is unique and rugged but not suitable for women because the size and wrist styling is bigger. The S3 Classic has an appearance similar to LG Watch Urbane compared to S2 Classic. It delivers 50% more compared to S2.
Samsung Gear S3 is bulky and about 30% heavier than the S2. In fact, the S3 Frontier is about 8% to 10% heavier than the Classic. This is due to the additional size. Using this data, S3 is not suitable for individuals with small wrists. Also, it is not attractive too.
Gear S2 on the other hand, offers a bright but smaller display and technically, it is a good feature. The Always-On display feature of S3 makes it display more and keeps the color intact compared to the S2 that goes grayscale. This makes the S3 deliver the best customization.
The Samsung Gear S3 uses a 380mAh ambient light but powerful battery which last up to 24 hours more compared to the Gear S2 whish is 250mAh battery and last for 4 days. These durations vary according to usage.
They both use the same operating software except for the spin the bezel feature to accept or cancel calls on the Gear S3. Both devices are also compatible with Android and iOS, according to the manufacturer.
This feature came onboard in2016, the 2015 models have NFC only which requires another NFC scanner to accept payments. Since 2016, both NFC and MST technology have been available making it easier to shop anywhere.

The Tank Trouble game is a simple to play and easy to access game with the help of the internet that can be played anywhere and on any device.
Unlike certain high graphic intensive games The Tank Trouble game does not require you to have high specifications on your computer.

Many make the mistake of asking a woman boring questions so as to start a conversation. This doesn't work. Women are only interested in relationship gossip and astrology. So, start by asking questions like
'Do you think John Mayer is gay' or 'Do you think relationships are made in the stars', then watch as the go extra chatty.
Fractionation is also known as hypnosis trick in which Chick Crack is a simplified version. This trick is said to make guys super powerful in seducing women faster than anyone can think of.

Contributor: Samantha Penna. Lesson ID: 11385
Would you enjoy eating grass, cactus, mold, and wood? Of course not! But there are some animals that eat stuff like that, and they love it! Learn about deer, giraffes, beavers, and other plant-eaters!
Do you recognize this animal? What is it eating? Do you think it likes eating leaves? What else do you think it eats?
In this lesson, you will be learning all about herbivores!
The deer you saw in the picture above is eating leaves. Do you think a deer is a herbivore? Do you know what a herbivore is? Tell your parent or teacher.
Did you know herbivores are animals that only eat plants? Can you think of an animal that only eats plants? Some common examples of herbivores are giraffes, deer, elephants, horses, and cows. There are lots of animals that only eat plants! Read on to learn how to identify herbivores.
All herbivores eat plants. Some herbivores eat a wide variety of plants, while others only eat one type of plant.
Herbivores can be large or small and come in all shapes and sizes! The smallest herbivore on earth is the featherwing beetle. Featherwing beetles eat mold and fungus — yuck! Did you know molds and fungi are classified as plants? Any animal that eats grasses, fruits, vegetables, flowering plants, leaves, roots, bulbs, fungi, mold, or varieties of mosses is a herbivore.
Do you have anything a herbivore might like to snack on in your learning space? Take a walk around your learning space and find any plants that a herbivore may eat! What did you find? Show your parent or teacher.
What animal do you think would eat the plant you found? Tell your parent or teacher, then ask your parent or teacher to help you research that animal to see if you were correct.
Great job!
How do you think you could identify a herbivore in the wild? Share your ideas with your parent or teacher.
The first thing you could do to identify a herbivore is watch what it eats. If you were to watch a cow in a field, what would you see it eating? Grass! Cows love grass! Herbivores can be found grazing most of the day. They spend their days grazing on the grasses and flowers found in fields. Can you think of some grazing animals?
Another way to identify a herbivore is by taking a look at its teeth. Herbivores have teeth that are perfect for eating plants! Have you ever tried to eat a whole lettuce leaf? It wasn't very easy to chew, was it? Herbivores have teeth that allow them to grind down plants. This makes plants much easier to eat and digest! If the animal has big, flat teeth, it's a herbivore! Some herbivores have large front teeth (like beavers). Beavers use their large, sharp, front teeth to gnaw on wood for their beaver dams! All herbivores use their large flat teeth to grind up plants. Have you ever seen a herbivore's teeth? Tell your parent or teacher what they look like.
A herbivore has eyes on the side of its head. Having eyes on the sides of their head makes it much easier to spot predators. This gives them a wider range of vision. Herbivores are generally prey for carnivores (animals that eat meat). Herbivores sometimes have to worry about carnivores. Their eyes help them spot carnivores so they have enough time to run and hide! A great way to remember where a herbivore's eyes are is by remembering this saying: "Eyes on the sides, helps them hide."
Here's a silly way you can identify a herbivore. Take a look at its feet! What do you think might be special about a herbivore's feet? Did you know that some herbivores have hooves? Many herbivores have strong hooves that allow them to run away from predators (carnivores). Some herbivores also have webbed feet. Why do you think herbivores need webbed feet? Share your ideas with your parent or teacher.
Did you say so they can swim away faster? Great! Beavers have webbed feet that allow them to quickly swim away from predators.
Excellent work! You know the four ways you can identify a herbivore. Tell a parent or teacher at least two ways you can identify a herbivore out in the wild. When you are finished, move on to the next section.

The willingness to act towards a moral or worthwhile goal despite the presence of risk, uncertainty and fear
Robert Biswas-Diener, 2012
The VIA strengths of courage are bravery, perseverance, honesty and zest. The benefits of these strengths include:
- Healthy positive relationships
- Taking personal responsibility for one's actions
- Increased tolerance for ambiguity
- Increased resilience, personal growth and achievement
- Increased trust
- Increased happiness and wellbeing
- Increased inclusiveness
- Fuller expression of abilities, skills and talents
- Increased resourcefulness
- Increased self-confidence
Adapted from Peterson & Seligman (2004)
While the following short clip depicts the courage of Buzz Lightyear:
courage is not purely the domain of the heroes in the world - ordinary people have courage too. (Lopez, Rasmussen, Skorupski, Koetting, Petersen, & Yang, 2010). And yet, being courageous … requires courage.
Ancient Wisdom the Key to Solving Today's Problems?Thursday, 02 June 2016 00:00
Think the concepts of mindfulness and resilience are new? Think again! Stoicism, which dates back to Greco-Roman times, is "the branch of ancient western philosophy that focuses on mindfulness, resilience, creativity and more, all of which allow us to flourish". "It requires being mindful, awareness and control, rather than being lost to emotion and random thought processes. Stoic exercises such as "practicing" misfortune and poverty help teach us that the worst case scenario is not in fact, the worst. And it's great for business. Stoic principles can build the resilience and state of mind required to rebound from knock-backs, so important in our new world of innovation and entrepreneurship".

"In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue"
"Qualities like kindness, compassion, honesty and hard work, they often matter more than technical skills and know-how. But when our leaders express a disdain for facts; when they're not held accountable for repeating falsehoods and just making stuff up, while actual experts are dismissed as elitist, then we've got a problem"
Food for thought.
A story of:
- Adventure & play

The subject of my Master of Applied Positive Psychology course this semester is Positive Psychology and Organisations. Our first assignment was to find an example of a positive organisation and to analyse it against:
- Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi's notion of a positive institution (2000) where they define positive institutions as those that "move individuals toward better citizenship" through cultivating "responsibility, nurturance, altruism, civility, moderation, tolerance, and work ethic" (p. 5); and
- Stansbury and Sonenshein's (2012) three elements of positive ethics; these being morally praiseworthy, discretionary and positively deviant
I chose the Lort Smith Animal Hospital as my case-study. The following are a few excerpts from my assignment.
The Lort Smith Animal Hospital has been committed to caring for animals for the past 80 years. The hospital's vision is "to be the recognised leader in Australia for animal health and wellbeing" and its mission is "to improve the health and happiness of animals and the people who care for them," with the supporting values of care and compassion, quality and affordability, integrity and respect (Lort Smith Animal Hospital, 2014). The hospital is the largest not-for-profit animal hospital in Australia, providing veterinary care, adoption and fostering services, emergency boarding and bereavement services to animals and their owners…
… In addition to providing sanctuary, rehabilitation, welfare and a new home for animals, nurturance permeates all that the hospital provides and is linked to its core principle of preserving the human-animal bond … A further example of nurturance is the "Mates for Inmates" program (Humpage, 2015) in which female inmates care for and train rescue dogs, providing a second chance for the inmates by providing responsibility, a sense of purpose and future opportunities for employment. The dogs also get a second chance where they are loved, cared for and trained to increase their likelihood of finding new homes.
… A strong example of positive deviance and compassionate generosity to victims of hardship as described by Stansbury and Sonenshein (2012), is the hospital's Emergency Boarding Program which is part of the Adoption Centre; … this program provides care for the pets of some of the most vulnerable members of community – for example, those who have mental health issues, the homeless, the elderly requiring emergency hospitalisation and victims of domestic violence. The Lort Smith has been providing emergency accommodation since 1936 ensuring that pets are fed, accommodated, receive medical assistance if needed and receive tender, loving care until they can be reunited with their owner. It can be argued that this program has been deviating existing norms in a way that is positive and honourable (Stansbury & Sonenshein, 2012) for many years.
… While the day-to-day actions described provide clear evidence that the hospital is a positive institution and is positively ethical, there many more actions undertaken by the hospital which, while not included, further reinforce its standing as positive and ethical.
insium is a proud supporter of the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
