House Interim Charge: Natural Resources
With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, the excitement of the Christmas season begins. Whether it's attending one of our many Christmas parades across East Texas, witnessing the lighting of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Pumping Unit, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of the season, there's no shortage of activities to keep us busy. Amidst all of the hustle and bustle though, it's my hope that each of us will do something to brighten someone else's day. From helping at a local food pantry, visiting a shut-in, donating a coat to a local school, or placing an extra dollar or two in a Salvation Army Red Kettle, let us never forget it's better to give than receive.
With that, here's our final interim committee update from your State Capitol. . .
House Interim Charge: Natural Resources
This week we'll be "diving" into the water committee of the Texas House — the House Committee on Natural Resources. This 11-member committee has jurisdiction over the conservation and development of water resources across our state. The committee also regulates all local water-related entities, such as groundwater conservation districts, and oversees several larger entities like the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Water Development Board.
As a member of this committee for several sessions, I have been fortunate enough to play an active role in addressing the needs of a growing and thirsty state, while also ensuring the protection of our region's most precious natural resource. This interim our committee has been hard at work finding solutions to the unique challenges facing our state as a result of Hurricane Harvey, increased rainfall across the state, and general water availability.
Our committee has held hearings in almost every corner of the state to hear from regional experts on how our state can best address their distinct challenges. For example, in Houston, we heard from members of the Harris County Flood Control District as we examined the role of local entities in developing flood mitigation infrastructure and operating dams during large-scale rain events. In Del Rio, we heard testimony from water experts about the status of groundwater policy in Texas, and discussed how our state can promote innovative solutions like the development of brackish groundwater to help meet the needs of Texans living in regions with water scarcity. In Waco, we heard from representatives with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality about the importance of updating our water availability models so that we can accurately assess and anticipate future water concerns.
Though the committee had an ambitious interim agenda, I am very pleased with the progress the House Committee on Natural Resources made over the last several months. Through continued cooperation with state and local entities across the state, we can ensure that our state will continue to properly meet the needs of all Texans.
With the holiday season upon us and many special events in all areas of House District 57, please be advised that the mobile office has suspended its regular Wednesday schedule until the start of 2019. For any questions, you may have, or issues you need help resolving, please reach out to one of our offices. We will make every effort to facilitate meetings and respond to your needs. Our district office may be reached at (936) 634-2762, or you can call our Capitol office at (512) 463-0508.

Full Steel Stunt Frame Kawasaki zx6r 07-08
It is intended for connection of a steering column, the engine and a back suspension bracket.
Is a key part of the motorcycle chassis. Suitable for both stunt motorcycles and city bikes.
Main dimensions:
The steering column is 70 mm in diameter. Wall thickness is 6 mm.
The thickness of the fasteners is 8 mm.
The average weight is 16 kg.
Design features:
The specificity of the frame's modification is 2007-2008.
The upper part of the frame construction is made of a pipe narrower in diameter. It is on this part that the tank lays down and it does not fail.
The engine of the model 2007-2008 is wider than that of previous models. The size and construction of the frame is considered convex, i.e. the distance between the walls is greater than on the frames a year older. And the engine due to this rises perfectly inside the frame.
The maximum turn of the helm is made, which is a very valuable advantage, because the stock frame at this year's model has a minimal turn.
In contrast to the stock mounting of the rear shock absorber, where there are two mounting positions, in the frame of MotoBSK there is one, and it's the most profitable. That allow to facilitate the construction and get rid of unnecessary fasteners, spacers.
Beautiful, neat geometry of the design. All lines are smooth and even.
We use caprolon plugs of the technological holes.
The bearing seats in the steering column are thickened.
After welding, all parameters of the workpiece's geometry, and the alignment of the upper and lower parts of the steering column are checked.
The frame is equipped with a jumper, the dimensions of which clearly coincide with the fastening points. The arcs of the fastening jumper are not in the same plane, we lengthened one of the sides, and made a jumper in parallel. This does not affect the technical properties, on the contrary, but it simplifies the installation of the frame.
On the right side of the engine mount place there are not arcs, but the bushing. It is welded into the corner, and it looks like a single whole.
A caprolon, decorative plug is installed in the bushing.
The subframe mountings are identical and will approach the stock system by 100%.
The thread in the foot pegs supports was cut. They are easy to install on the stock bolts.
A special flange was welded, so when installing the tank you can use the standard mounting bolts. A mounting for the expansion tank was made. To fasten the charging relay, a plate with technological holes is specially made, which will allow the relay to be fastened close to the plate and to be quickly cooled.
Attachment for the earthing is provided.
The subframe mounts, the footrests of the rider, the lower and upper shock absorber's ball joints are all cut out on the CNC machine.
The details look aesthetically beautiful and correct.
All technological holes are taken into account.
Special offer:
It is possible to modify the frame with the bracing for the stunt stay, if you are going to put plastic and fairing.
You can write in the comments to the order: a frame with a bracing for a stunt stay.
Argon Welding
Seam processing.
Sandblasting and preparation for painting.
Polymeric color coating by customer request.
* This MotoBSK stunt frame is copied very often. Be careful, beware of fakes!

Despite the billions of pounds invested in insight and analysis, the vast majority of marketers are still in the dark about who their customers actually are, and are being hampered by data silos and structures which have been in place for decades.
That is the rather depressing finding of the global 2016 Digital Marketer Report from Experian, which found that regardless of the company size or industry, 81% of marketers report challenges in achieving a single customer view, 38% say knowing their customers remains their top challenge, and 52% named enhancing their customer knowledge as one of their top three priorities.
At the core – the single view of the customer – lies a fount of knowledge, but getting there is no walk in the park, the study concedes.
"Today's brand marketers realise the significance of knowing their customers, but it's still problematic," said Ashley Johnston, senior vice president of global marketing at Experian Marketing Services.
"The future of marketing is being driven by sophisticated, channel-agnostic consumers who expect exceptional experiences every time. This reality poses a real challenge for organisations, as consumer intolerance for mediocre brand interactions puts more pressure on brands to leverage their data and technology."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the report maintains that to gain a complete understanding of customers, brands must invest more in technology.
However, organisational issues are also part of the problem, according to Experian chief technology officer Emad Georgy. He said: "For CMOs, now is the time to take a fresh look at the way you structure and incentivise your teams.
"Is your marketing team set up in a way that benefits the customer? Or is a different customer experience dictated in every channel? CMOs need to invest in technology that ensures data is accessible and actionable across groups.
"The marketers we see who are most successful at bridging the gap between siloed data sources and departments are the ones who have embraced the tools, insights and technology to help them centre their conversations on the customer, rather than the channel," Georgy added.

A person I know is trying wow for the first time, and another very very casual has started to log in again. As a confirmed WoW nut I had to moderate my behaviour. Normally I'm foaming at the mouth, singing praises and virtues, looking for subtle gains and measures.
And while that is OK when you're mid-froth with another wow nutcase, its a poor way to introduce a new player.
Jez from DPS We Deliver is also helping, so the corruption of a new player is not my sole pleasure. New players will see overt enthusiasm as terrible ranting. Information overload and information starvation is something new players have to fight; and raving does not help (I tried, ooops). They are overloaded by a new interface, skills, feel, and flavour. It takes time to sup all that up and get into it.

Roof Cleaning Delivers Many Benefits in Clare, MI
At one time, you most likely spent several hundred or even a couple thousand on your Clare, MI home or business' roofing. As a result, you need it to last for several years and you want it to continue looking as close to new as possible. The only dilemma is that roofs take a major beating from environmental elements, such as algae and many types of fungi, dirt, dust, sun, and a lot more, which can cause them to take on a faded look. When the majority of home or business owners find that their roof is beginning to fade, their first thought is that they are going to have to fork out thousands of dollars once again for a new roof. The good news is, replacing your roof is no longer your only option as our roof cleaning crew has a high success rate of restoring roofs to new or like-new condition.

It will not only lengthen the lifespan of your roof by getting rid of the harmful elements that have become fixed to the roof but it will also prevent your roof from having a dull appearance.

Delivering Extraordinary Roof Cleaning Results in Clare, MI
Roof cleaning in the Clare, MI locale is one of those tasks where various organizations have distinct ideas of what works best. A couple of companies choose to take the shorter route of knocking the dust and grime off your roof by using power washers. In an effort to add a little extra polish to your roof, other companies use power washers as well as abrasive chemicals, which can tend to leave a slimy appearance. However, we do not like the thought of leaving your roof with a oily look nor are we going to risk loosening up your roofing materials by utilizing a power washer. As a substitute, our personnel uses soft washers and cleaners that are sure to be completely safe for your roof. When we have finalized the endeavor, your roof will be left looking like new without having to worry about any destruction on your roof.
The fact that there are a handful of roof cleaning companies throughout the Clare, MI vicinity makes the industry one that is incredibly competitive.

text: The new emerged BDS and Galileo, as well as the ongoing modernized GPS and GLONASS marked the start of a new era in satellite navigation. With the continuous effort of IGS over years, the publicly accessible GNSS measurements from more than 500 world-wide distributed stations have inspired a broad range of GNSS-based applications, and expended the geodesy observation designed technique in a collaboration between atmosphere sensing and geodesy. To cope with this new trend, we launched the FUSING (FUSing IN Gnss) project. Besides the widely adopted approaches of IGS analysis centers, i.e., dual-frequency ionosphere-free combination and dual-frequency geometry-free combination, several new features are also adopted in the FUSING platform: first, the software aims to propose a highly consistent solution to derive the GNSS related geodesy and atmosphere parameters simultaneously in a single, internally coherent estimation process based on the undifferenced and uncombined observation; second, the architecture of software and algorithm are designed for prioritized RT GNSS applications, thus an efficient square root information filter (SRIF), rather than the LSQ is employed in all the GNSS data processing. With this new platform, initial results of satellite orbit and clock, signal bias of receiver and satellite, as well as the water vapor content and TEC are derived and analyzed for GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo with a large data set.Keywords: Real-time, Multi-GNSS Multi-frequency, Efficiency, Undifferenced and uncombined observation, DESIGN

Yes. Mysuru city will soon get a Snow World where one can play, dance, glide, and slide amidst snow and also climb snow-clad heights for 'that' adrenaline rush in your brain. The Snow World is coming up in Nazarbad at Shyamsundar Theatre that has stopped playing movies since ages. The area is behind the Regency Theatre that also has stopped functioning.
Works on the Snow World are in a war-footing and the facility will be completed in another 15 to 20 days. The old theatre has been completely refurbished and once complete the whole structure will resemble like Kremlin, a fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, the capital of Russia overlooking the Moskva River.
Bengaluru-based Fun World and Resorts that has established the popular Snow City at Jayamahal (Palace Grounds) in Bengaluru has bagged the work of Snow World in Mysuru. The land of Shyamsundar Theatre is owned by the erstwhile royal family of Mysore and the Fun World Group has come to an understanding with the royal family to set up the Snow World.
Snow theme park
The indoor snow theme park being set up inside the cinema hall of the Shyamsundar Theatre is 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with temperature maintained at subzero degree centigrade. Every part inside the hall will be filled with snow made out of water and air, which is eco-friendly and edible too. The most amusing news is to have pleasure all in a negative temperature of minus 10 degrees along with living the lifestyle of an Eskimo.
Snow World will offer an experience in snow balling, mountain climbing, snow jumping, sliding, sledging, dancing, snow skiing and snow sliding along with DJ music. All attractions are suitable for family entertainment and the place is a must-visit attraction and will regale adults and children alike.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, Project Supervisor Mallikarjun said that the park will stay open each and every day of the week and is a fine place to spend some quality time with your near and dear ones. "No matter when you visit you will always see subzero temperatures being maintained over here," he says.
Trained personnel will always keep a watch on gamers and those using skiing machines and rescuers will be stationed at the venue. All the players will be provided boots, helmets, thermals, caps, gloves and jackets as the temperature will be below freezing. The elderly and children can catch cold quite quickly, he added.
Selfie with Kremlin
A team of 120 skilled workers have been working on the Snow World project since the last three months and the tourist attraction will be completed in another 15 to 20 days. The skilled workers have been specially brought from Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The entrance of the Snow World will have an attractive park and there will be an exclusive selfie zone so that the tourists can take selfies with the Kremlin-style building. Entry fees and timings have not yet been finalised and they will be announced once the Snow World is open the public, Mallikarjun added.

The Government of Iraq launched a National Action Plan on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. This action plan gives Iraqi women a real chance to participate in structuring peace and promote inclusive and sustainable peace. Iraq also presented its fourth, fifth and sixth periodic reports on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in February 2014, the first such report in ten years.
The United Nations however is concerned over the recent adoption by the Council of Ministers of the al-Ja'afari Personal Status Bill that puts at risk the unity of the national legislation and can contribute to the fragmentation of the national identity. The Bill will reverse the gains made to protect and advance women and girls' rights that are protected by the constitution.
"I urge the Iraqi Council of Representatives to ensure that all intended laws adhere to the highest international human rights standards and conform to the international instruments to which Iraq is party including the CEDAW and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The UN remains committed to supporting the efforts of the Government and civil society to empower women and ensure gender equality in law and in practice. Equality for women leads to progress for the whole society", Mr. Mladenov stressed.

My astronaut application form, I didn't pass that though, I failed everything but the date of birth." - Navin, The Jerk
The Boy doesn't wear adult diapers, and hasn't driven a car off to Orlando recently. As far as I know . . .
The week in Houston has proved harrowing. Houston astronaut, Nutsy McHotpants decided to take astronauts from being 53rd childhood dream job to 101,125th, still some 101,100 places behind being a "pimp daddy." Whatever that is.
Thankfully for Nutsy McHotpants, another tragedy unfolded in Houston, namely, Anna Nicole Smith (born in Houston, married in Houston, etc.) decided that she couldn't "just say no" and left the mortal realm with an astonishing amount of media coverage. The best part of this coverage? It took Nutsy McHotpants right off the cover of the local papers. My thought? Who would most benefit from this? The Boy.
Oh, sure, you'd say that NASA might benefit the most from the news that took an alleged murder-plotting-tramp off the front page. But in reality, it was The Boy.
Being grounded, The Boy had been living in an existence that had mirrored that of Nutsy, except for the whole media coverage and (soon, I'd bet) divorce papers thing. Oh, and the imminent threat of losing his job. Yes, The Boy had ample motive to see that news that was "way super duper bigger" than his grounding showed up in the local papers to take the heat off of him.
In response to the dual Houston tragedy, The Mrs. took The Boy off his grounding. We were, as a family, crushed.
What, exactly, did The Boy do with this new-found freedom? Well, The Mrs. had him pull weeds in the jungle that surrounds our house. It was a pleasant 50ºF, so it was t-shirt and short weather. I ended up cutting enough hedge to power Wales for a year, if they had hedge-burning power plants. Heck, maybe the Canadians do have hedge-burning power plants, but nobody can read Canadian, so they forgot where to deliver the hedges.
The Boy and I worked, which is to say that I worked, and The Boy frittered the day away, jumping on a tiny trampoline and listening to music by hip new artists like the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac. The Boy is so cutting edge.
Did I mention that he spent the rest of the time glued to the DIY network? His latest passion is bathroom and kitchen renovations (This Old House ranks but a distant third). He's been wandering about the house, yammering that he'd love to rip the kitchen cabinets down and replace them, plus he's pretty sure we're needing new "task lighting," whatever that is.
So, to answer the question, "What does The Boy do when he's not grounded?" In this case, The Boy plans to renovate our house.
As long as he doesn't want to be an astronaut.

Dinwiddie Schools' new assistant superintendent eager to begin new role with school division
By: Meredith Baker, Staff Writer
July 19, 2017 | 12:48 p.m.
DINWIDDIE – The Dinwiddie County School Board has selected Dr. Royal Gurley to be the new assistant superintendent of academic services.
Gurley has served students with special needs as the division's director of exceptional education for the past five years, but he will now fill the position left open by Dr. Kari Weston's selection as superintendent. The board members and Weston congratulated Gurley on his appointment.
"It's been a great two years, and so I look forward to the amazing work we're going to do for the kids in this county together," Weston said. "I can't wait to learn from you and to learn alongside you in the years to come."
Gurley is originally from Sussex County, but he began his career in Surry. He has 15 years of experience in education, working in both suburban and rural school settings. He credits his decision to go into education to the example of his mother, who is in her 38th year as a special educator and was in the field of education all throughout his childhood.
RELATED: School Board hires from within, names Weston as Dinwiddie Superintendent
"It's been very important in our household," Gurley said, "and both my mom and my dad stressed the importance of going to college."
Gurley did not originally plan to be a teacher, but after earning a bachelor's degree in sociology from Virginia State University and working with children as an intern, he began to wish he had studied education, and the door opened for him to pursue that path.
"I landed a job in Surry, and they were very supportive and gave me a solid foundation, and I had a lot of good mentors," Gurley said.
Gurley returned to VSU to earn a master's degree in education, eventually earning a doctorate of education in educational administration and supervision, as well. He also holds a post-baccalaureate certificate in instructional technology and a post-master's certificate in educational leadership from Virginia Commonwealth University.
Gurley has served as a teacher, instructional technology integrator, special education coordinator, and adjunct professor at Longwood University. He came to Dinwiddie County Public Schools in 2011 and served as an assistant principal at Dinwiddie High School for one year prior to becoming the director of exceptional education for the division.
Gurley said that one of his biggest goals for the upcoming year is to continue to forge partnerships within the community and thereby open up more opportunities for students to participate in internships and externships.
"We have a lot of community stakeholders, and we have a lot of smart people in our community who have a lot to add," Gurley said.
Gurley said that he is excited about his new position and honored to be working with Weston.
"I am extremely honored to be selected as the Assistant Superintendent of Academic Services," Gurley said in a press release. "Working with the students, staff, and parents of Dinwiddie County over the past six years has proven to be some of the most rewarding years of my career. As I embark upon this new endeavor, I see it as an opportunity to forge new relationships with parents and community members, while continuing to support learning environments that foster student growth."

About damn time people are starting to wake up to this Socialist Dim BS crap (literally). Now do we have enough people in CA any longer that isn't on some form of welfare aid to bring the Republican Party to lead the House, Senate and Governorship to lead the state? I doubt it but I'm sure going to push for it.
I hope the good people of CA, save the state.
A lot of welfare sucking the life out of this state and Dims just keep dishing more. Makes you wonder just how low they're willing to go.
Death spiral sad to say. Could be fixed, maybe, but it would require a lot of sacrifice some thing so many are not going to be willing to accept.
They are willing to tax every last penny, totally eliminate the middle-class. The wealthy will just move funds and protect themselves, the poor have no money.
And when the poor have less and less money they become the "slave class" to the elite... at least that's the goal of the leftists here.
@Buddy @Elaines2cents
True, create dependence, Socialism an easier sell! Indoctrination, from education in class. Convincing parents and students to borrow money for a worthless education and burdening them with debt.
Higher education has been pushed as the "answer to all your problems". I can't count how many times I heard growing up that all I need to be successful is to go to college and get a degree... and that's it! No advice on how to save, manage the debt, what degrees to choose, etc. And staff advises students to take out the maximum amount the loans allow. Insanity
@Buddy @Elaines2cents
So true, growing up very poor I learned from my parents mistakes. I have always been very careful with money and wait until I can afford something and get the best deal at hand. Out of eight of us, not all learned this, to each their own.
Amen. I've learned from my parents/grandparents that if I can't pay cash for it....I don't need it.
I love a good deal!
@Tatonka @Buddy @Elaines2cents
Us too! This sale was not broadly publicized, we were blessed! We arrived at 10Am, the place was packed!
Those who label words as violence do so with the sole purpose of justifying violence against words.

The latest trailer for Black Mirror season 4 feels strangely familiar, as it brings together all the other previews we've seen for the individual episodes, like the Star Trek parody and the one that will make everyone question becoming a parent. In the clip, a man doubts how long happiness can last, just like we all do when we make it through the first hour of the day without some other bombshell dispatch out of the White House or Hollywood. When the voiceover comes on to urge us to press on—"It's hard to imagine a bright future, but we can, and we must"—it really starts to sound like a typical day for us, so thank god there are alien worlds to disrupt that feeling.
There is one entirely new bit of info now available, though—the premiere date, which is now set for December 29. So you can take in the dystopia and despair after a week of revelry, when you'll probably need something to counteract all the sugar and eggnog.

This week (20 till 27th of March 2019) we are the guests of the Albertus Magnus Gymnasium in Ettlingen (a residential suburb of Karlsruhe) in Baden-Württemberg and it's my first confrontation with the German school system, during the Erasmus+project MECE (Making Europe Count Everywhere). Compared to my own school Albertus Magnus Gymnasium is modern, is 21st century like, is rather big (about 1200 students with the Realschule included), but never crowdy. There are lots of differences which I can't assess immediately, asking myself if they are better or not. One thing's for sure: the Baden-Württemberg government is investing much more money into education than we ever will do in Flanders. If I compare buildings, classroom facilities,… Infrastructure is very ok, while in Flanders schoolbuilding program is 7 billion behind. I am quite happy the first exchange could take place in Ostend, and we could build up with Clevedon and Ettlingen, now that we can view a replay of the project. On the other hand school starts at 7.45 am here.

During November of 1915 in Liverpool, New South Wales, Eugene Norris enlisted to join the army. It wasn't until a year later that he left his family, including his father William Norris, to join his comrades in the 13th infantry battalion. At the age of 23 he embarked on the HMAT Ballarat A70 from Sydney on the 16th of December 1916. He fought gallantly until a year later when he was wounded during a battle. On the 22nd of February 1919 he was discharged from the army due to his injuries. On the 26th September 1934 he was mentioned in the paper as he met with a tragic accident, he fell off a 14-foot ladder in Parramatta while working on a telegraph pole. He suffered from facial abrasions and internal injuries and was rushed to the Parramatta district hospital. At the age of 62 Eugene Norris passed away on the 6th of February 1950.

How do I explain the story without giving too much away? What do I avoid? I am new at writing book reviews on Goodreads.

The advantage of Goodreads is that how you review is largely up to you. Goodreads will only delete a review in very specific circumstances. According to their review guidelines they will only delete reviews that are off-topic, personally attack the author or other reviewers, are plagiarized or are trying to sell products. If you aren't doing that your review should be acceptable.
Goodreads is about helping people choose to read or not to read certain books. Reviews should give enough information about the book and your feelings about it to help someone who is not familiar with the book decide if they want to read it or not. If you are concerned about spoilers, there is a box you can check at the bottom of your review before you publish it that says "hide entire review because of spoilers." When you publish your review with that box checked there will be a note at the top of your review that says it contains spoilers. That way people can choose whether or not to read it.
Reviews on Goodreads generally consist of two parts. First, they contain a synopsis of the book. Think about what might be written on the back of a book or on a book jacket. It should explain enough about the book to help people decide if they'd be interested in it without giving the whole story away. Often that means telling the story up to the climax or high point and then stopping so no one knows how it ends. If there are key details that make the story special or unique (the name of the killer, a twist no one saw coming, etc.) they should be left out. But setting, basic character info, what kind of story it is (comedy, drama, mystery) and a quick statement of plot are helpful.
The second thing to include is an honest review of the book. Explain what you liked and didn't like about it. Goodreads values honesty in their reviews; that is the point of the site. Knowing the plot of a book does not always help us know if we will like it. Reading what others thought of it and why gives us more information. So give honest feedback on how you felt about it and why you felt that way. Did you like the story? The writing? Did it meet your expectations? Did you think it was well-researched? Was there content you did not appreciate? Would you recommend it or not? These are the kinds of questions to consider when you write your review.

Sunrise Deli, a family operated business that has served the Bay Area since 1984, closed its Berkeley location to the public April 6.
Co-owned by a couple and their son, Sunrise Deli's Berkeley location has been open since 2005. The restaurant picked up "numerous awards" and made "the best quality Middle Eastern cuisine" in the Bay Area using the "freshest" and "finest quality" of ingredients, according to Sunrise Deli's website.
Some items on its menu included its signature round sesame bread, spinach pies, Armenian and Thyme pizzas and baked sweets. According to the website, the deli uses "handpicked ingredients from highest quality local farms." Sunrise Deli is also committed to not serving frozen or prepackaged food, according to its website.
Sunrise Deli co-owner Khaled Ramadan said that his mother, Linda Erakat, was the main person who ran the Berkeley location and that she was always on "top of things." Although it was a "great success over the years," Ramadan said that it was no longer feasible to operate the deli in its continued manner, thus, the family decided to close the deli's Berkeley location.
The store, now closed, displayed a letter in its front window written by Erakat stating, "Thank you for the many years of allowing us to be part of your campus community. From the moment we opened this location, we felt right at home."
Ramadan mentioned that in January, Erakat was diagnosed with breast cancer and although he expects her to make a full recovery, it was a factor in her decision to retire.
According to Ramadan, however, the decision to close mainly stemmed from Erakat's desire to spend more time with her family.
"Almost 15 years later and 3 grandchildren older, I feel this is the best time to say goodbye," said Erakat's written sign. "As a minority woman it's very rare to go out on your own terms, but I am proud to say that I have."
Sunrise Deli continues to operate and deliver out of its Irving Street location in the Sunset District, mainly taking larger orders from Oakland, Emeryville and East Bay clients that it has accumulated over the years.
Ramadan mentioned that the business also remains active in its food truck operation on First Fridays in Oakland.
"I was wondering why they hadn't been open when I came by, but I just thought I missed them," said Lauren McKinney, a previous customer and campus senior, who added that the deli had really good falafel and recalled how she would go in and buy about a half dozen of falafels between classes.
According to Ramadan, the store located on Bancroft Way was sold to a restaurant called i Pizza which also has a location in Newark.

It's not every day one discovers a lovely walk in the woods along a heavy grass path beside a rushing river at the foot of your very own street! But there it was—and is. At the end of Cole Avenue (off Route 2) is Arnold Street—a heavily residential street on which the houses are so close together, a car can barely fit on driveways between them. At its end is the sign Town Recreational Area Nature Trail . Starting out on a short downhill path, there is a trail of sorts—a roughly-made one that appears endless. I learned later the area does have its own name—known as Linear Park, northern section.
The sound of the Green River rushing is good company and tempts walkers to go to it. If you do elect to go toward the sound of the river beckoning you, be sure you are wearing rubber boots—you sink easily into the marsh, which covered my rubber-soled shoes. But it is a lovely sight.
Then the walk broadens out into a grass-lined, roughly-cut path from which you can go at almost any point to the river's edge for a look at its fast and noisy rushing. A little further on a clearer path appears, marked by a huge stone edifice (of unknown usage) beyond which the hiker will find a pebble beach on which to sit and watch the river go by—a slim river at that point. Or, perhaps on a sunny, warm day, you can walk on the pebbles in the river bed. Braver walkers might even cross the river at this shallow part, to sit on shaded benches on the other side. Warning: there are mosquitoes!
This is a quiet, almost private part of the walk. Over the several times I've taken it, I saw only three people total. I never went to the end, which appears to link with other trails until one is virtually on Route 2. If you continue on this path, you do indeed end up looking at cars rushing by.
This path was part of a huge plan to join walking areas across town, proposed by TRAIPSE (Trail Routing and Integration of Populated and Scenic Environments), a Williams College group who put out a report issued in the fall of 2002 for the Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation (WRLF). I would have known nothing about this had I not been seated, at a recent tea party, next to Judy Fitzgerald who explained that since the early 70's, she and others had pushed for this walk to be developed out of the garbage-strewn wilderness that had then existed, persuading town officials that the many families who were moving to Williamstown at the time needed outdoor spaces like that one where their families might walk and play. Town officials agreed and the progress of such a plan is outlined in the TRAIPSE document, which reports the improvements made up to then, the conditions of the area at the time, and tentative plans for the future. It is suggested that there would be a subsequent report but I was unable to find one. I did learn that WRLF is planning to develop the informal trail further.

Peep Show's Mark Corrigan is one of television's most eloquent cynics whose expressed attitudes toward the mundane are pure art. The show's "inner voice" format allows viewers to hear the most personal, and often hilariously accurate, ramblings of Corrigan, which likely flow directly from the brain of his portrayer David Mitchell.
Mitchell began a web series a few years ago entitled David Mitchell's SoapBox that features the comedian's well-worded musings on everything from signing boobs to eating together. Mitchell recently posted a new rant for the first time in more than a year. His beard is gone but the red shirt remains, and the topic is climate change. Essentially, he believes that while depending on fossil fuels has been a real gas, it's time to stop. He equates grotesque irresponsibility with enormous fun, discussing how burning oil is "brilliant," but it's "a real pisser that we can't do it anymore," and adding that he would really like someone to convince him that global warming isn't actually happening. Watch below, and like Mitchell says, "Let's grimly do our recycling and not use planes as much…not because any of that stuff is fun or cool…but because we have to."

In 2014 Sage Spa & Sageborn Founder, Stephanie Bigart, set out to prove the healing power of nature for skin care. Her years of experiences as an at-home skin care product maker, esthetician, yoga instructor and day spa owner showed evidence that she could achieve as good – or better – results using unique blends of high quality, naturally powerful ingredients coupled with daily lifestyle practices as she could using harsh chemicals, acids, antibiotics, retinol and abrasion routines.
Sageborn was born out of the spa environment and is used in all spa experiences at Sage Spa.
It's available at Sage in Bozeman and online at Sageborn.com.
We curate authentic, handmade goods for our spa boutique. All goods represent what we feel defines the spa lifestyle. From our handmade clothing, shoes and jewelry to our collection of journals, essential oils and organic perfumes, you will be sure to find something for yourself or others.

Evening all, I have been posting on the forum for a while now.
I think its about time i started a new thread with pictures documenting it progress.
So, we inherited this 780 from my partners grandfather. Having done some tractor restoration in the past i jokingly said that the 780 would be fantastic for taking the newly wed couple from the church back to the family farm on the 17th of August this year. And so the idea was born!
Originally we thought that this was the original tractor bought new for the farm, it turns out that this one was a replacement about 10 years ago with various bits and pieces swapped over to keep it going and scraping out the cows. Circumstances changed and the remaining 780 was parked up and left for around 4 years.
This really was how it came out the shed, cow sh1t and all! Booster pack and pumped up tryes and she eventually kicked into life.
I had no knoweledge of the tractor or what worked or didnt at this point. the gears selected, the breaks where working and it drove onto a trailer to get it home.
After a few hours with the steam cleaner and a crow bar to remove the solid dried crap it was time to see what we had taken on.
Obvious problems where breaks that where stuck together, core plugs leaking.
Front wheel bearings and king pins where shot
This was the first project in the new workshop (hence why it looks so clean to begin with)
As i took bits off to replace broken parts it became apparent that it needed a lot of tlc!
To date i (think) i have replaced everything that needs replacing to get it back into working condition. I have got new rear wings and all the panels for the bonnet.
This is how its standing at the moment ready to be moved out of the workshop for another landrover related project to have a bit more work done. Yes the rear rims are wrong and yes one front rim and tire is wrong but this is where i need it so that i can get some work done with it and find out any more niggles. Hitch and link arms are just getting some adjustments and a bit of primer then they can go back on tomorrow.
Parts replaced so far
track rods
king pin bushes and bolts
front hubs rebuilt
core plugs
radiator pipes
break rods
foot plates
rear wings
speedo cable
rear end oil and filter
front end oil and filter
fan belt
rear rims and tyres
drop arms
sorted some wiring
fuel leak
free breaks
free hand break
finally apply for a REG from the DVLA
Im looking forward to updating soon!

From Wikipedia:
Robert Crais (born June 20, 1953) is an American author of detective fiction. Crais began his career writing scripts for television shows such as Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, Quincy, Miami Vice and L.A. Law. He lists amongst his literary influences the authors Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ernest Hemingway, Robert B. Parker and John Steinbeck. Crais lives in California's Santa Monica mountains with his family.
In the 1980s Crais decided to abandon scriptwriting and become a novelist. Following the death of his father in 1985 Crais was inspired to create his character Elvis Cole writing The Monkey's Raincoat, which won the 1988 Anthony Award for "Best First Novel", the 1988 Mystery Readers International Macavity Award for "Best Paperback Original" at Bouchercon XIX, and has since been named one of the 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association.

Leading is no easy feat. Whether in a 9 to 5 management role in an office, or as a proprietor of a small, independent business, there are necessary skills that must be developed for a prosperous career. Considering CEO compensation has grown by 940% since the year 1978, there is plenty of motivation to strive for more. However, success isn't the only concern; a positive sense of wellbeing also contributes to a stable, long-term career.
However, for any young professional who is beginning a new endeavour, identifying the necessary skills of effective leaders can be just as difficult as fostering these qualities. Luckily, many top skills don't have to be developed by attending expensive conferences in big cities. In fact, there are dynamic solutions to be found in everyday life that help nurture the leader within.
Necessary Traits in the Office
Forbes recently listed their number one leadership skill as 'fearless agility'. Games like chess, poker, and sudoku all help develop mental stamina and analytical skills that aid in quick decision-making. In fact, scientific research has shown that poker can stimulate the brain and enhance the mind; while playing chess has been linked to increased efficiency in problem solving for players. Sudoku, on the other hand, benefits the memory, while also stimulating the brain like poker.
These everyday activities can also help develop three more skills noted in the Forbes list: flexibility, learning quickly, and versatility. However, skills such as empathy, selflessness, humility, and listening (also on the list) may seem a bit less applicable. These skills present a divide between 'Type A' and 'Type B' people; Type A being predisposed to logical mental processes and Type B being more apt to use intuition to gain insight and understanding.
One quick solution for bridging Type A and Type B traits is to study body language to aid in employee interaction. There are ample resources, from books to online courses that can help an individual develop skills like empathy, selflessness, and listening skills. By gaining an awareness of the body, a leader can connect with employees and partners more seamlessly, as well as boost their own image.
Another list of top leadership traits focuses on self-development, which is also a great method for nurturing the trailblazer within. By creating opportunities for themselves, a leader will 'lead by innovation'. That is, those working with the boss can learn from their example.
Having a positive, 'can do' attitude will also go a long way, as workers are more apt to thrive in a positive environment. After all, the American Psychological Association estimated in 2015 that 60 to 80% of workplace accidents were due to stress.
Developing a Sense of Leadership
To be confident enough to lead with the traits listed above, a leader must first analyze themselves to understand their motivations and natural aptitudes. In other words, it's important to ask the question: what kind of leader do you want to be?
Some individuals are more apt to use a democratic approach, while others may prefer to coach or even command their employees. Then there are leaders who stick to their own vision and let others follow suit at their own pace. There are no right or wrong paths, but each situation calls for a thorough answer.
Learning about the self is crucial if a leader is to thrive, but learning about the self can be an abstract concept that's not easily applicable to the workplace. If a person can identify their own weaknesses and strengths, they'll be able to explore areas for necessary development.
One easy way for any adult to get back in touch with their inner self is to try the "Yes Challenge". The "Yes Challenge" has been popularized through social media, and most people associate it with crazy antics. However, the challenge, which requires an individual to agree to any proposal given within a certain time period (within appropriate boundaries), is designed to get people out of their comfort zone. Budding leaders will benefit greatly from small exercises like this, during which new perspectives and insights can be gained about their own natural aptitudes and weaknesses.

The old adage, "it's better to give than receive" is really true. Givers are not only more successful than takers, but givers also experience more positive emotion than those on the receiving end.
There are limits to giving; givers that give indiscriminately risk burnout. Instead, givers should give in a way that benefits and feels good to them so that they can keep on giving. For example, effective givers communicate their needs and ask for help and buy-in from others to help them to continue to give successfully.
Good giving is also authentic. What are you passionate about? What type of tasks and roles do you enjoy and allow you to excel? What type of impact are you yearning to make on the world? Give in a way that feeds your soul.
Giving should feel energizing, meaningful, and constructive. If you're giving in a manner that is sapping your soul or creating a lot of negative emotion, then it's likely unsustainable, unhealthy or not useful. For example, if you're giving to someone who is a perpetual taker, then your efforts are likely to have little impact on the recipient's growth or neediness level regardless of your level of personal sacrifice. Your efforts and energy just will continue to disappear into a black hole with no apparent impact.
Instead, consider your time and effort as a precious commodity, even though they don't show up on a balance sheet. Be as (or more) judicious with your time and energy as you are with your other resources. Plan how you can use them in ways that benefit both you and others. If you're not getting a good return on your investment, try a different approach or perspective.
For example, for the perpetual taker/complainer, give them a limited time to vent, then affirm their feelings ("wow, it sounds like it's been a really rough time for you"). Then switch the direction of the conversation to focus on how they will create a solution. Keep redirecting the conversation to their solution instead of trying to fix the problem for them or allowing them to continue to complain. In doing so, you might help them to stay in a generative mindset and find their own solutions. In addition, they may eventually see that you will no longer solve their problems for them. That's a nice win-win, isn't it?
In addition, change your perspective if you're feeling guilty about continuing to invest in what feels like a black hole. Preserving the dysfunctional status quo is not a good gift for either party. By continuing to invest in a situation that is not improving, you are withholding resources from others that could actually benefit and grow from your investment. Instead, consider giving to someone or something that has a need that is limited in time or scope and/or where the solution can result in an impactful change for the recipient. Wouldn't that feel so much better and more constructive?
Finally, consider the idea that a gift that makes you feel resentful is not really a gift. It actually may harm the relationship in the long run. Such a gift could also be hurting the recipient if you are enabling bad behavior or helping them to avoid a problem or a time-bomb that needs their attention. In other words, look to the long-term consequences of your gift and ask yourself whether it is having the intended or desired benefit to you and the recipient.
In conclusion, finding new strategies and perspectives can make giving a joyous experience again. When giving is pleasurable and energizing, then that's an effort that is sustainable, beneficial and generative. When it is not, then it's time to make a change in either action or perspective. After all, you wouldn't want to deprive yourself of one of life's greatest joys, would you?

"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

Still on Hiatus, But Watching the PUMAsphere from Afar...
I am just not ready to come back to politics. That's all. What can I say? I think I am in the same place that PUMA for Life is. Desirous of a long, lazy summer... after a year of utter political hell. Wanting, also, to rest up for the political battles ahead. On behalf of competent women.
I am still dropping in to read my favorite PUMAs. And I want to thank them for holding down the fort while I rest up. That said, I'll point you to what I saw as some of the better PUMA blog entries posted over the Memorial Holiday weekend. (Not that there weren't many more. But these are the ones I caught.)
Katalusis took E.J. Dionne to task. My response:
Poor E.J. He really thinks this is some kind of great revelation... that Obie-won-can-no-be is talking out of both sides of his mouth. I suspect he was quite pissed to learn that The Holy One lied, first to him and his kind.... then bopped across the hall to lie to the journalists from the opposite side of the aisle.
Well, maybe it is a revelation to him. And, if so, he is a sad excuse for an investigative journalist. Or, *is* he even interested in investigation? Would he rather just regurgitate what "The One" pours into his open jar?
Apparently so. Because even as he expresses the disappointment of the jilted ... he couches it in fantasy: "The establishment Obama is trying to build would make the country better -- more equal, more just and more conscious of the government's constitutional obligations. The far right is being isolated, and Republicans are simply lost. "
How sad is that?
In the wake of one bombing, and one attempted bombing in NYC, I found Madamab's discussion of how "political correctness" abets anti-semitism particularly enlightening. If you have not read it yet, I encourage you to do so.
There are two active watches on for this week. I'll be watching the PUMAsphere for today's news about the court decision on Prop H8. I expect either Tennessee Guerilla Women or HILLBUZZ to break that story first. (Note to self: Must remember to donate to #1 informants!)
The second watch of the week will be for a SCOTUS appointment. The Pick is widely rumored to be a woman. TGW covers the final four this morning. Any of them will be acceptable to me. But, I have a preference for Judge Sotomayor. Perhaps because I think it is high time we saw a Latina on the high court??
OK. Back to my seat in the peanut gallery.....
PS. H/T to TGW for the photo. Wow! Look at that Supreme Court in Canada. Four women?? It's amazing they can get anything done with all those hormones floating around.... Wonder if they get "periodically upset" and "lash out" the way our President thinks politically powerful women in the United States do?
UPDATE: Afrocity reports that Obama has tapped Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice.
UPDATE 2: Tennessee Guerilla Women cover the cowardice of the California court.

We were a lively group on the 8:25 interisland ferry on Wednesday morning, January 9! Seven of us altogether participated in our first get together to discuss the Gospel of John, chapters one and two. One woman was a friend of people in the group, who was simply heading to Orcas from Friday Harbor and she decided to join us on that leg of the journey. Later, Sister Mary Danielle hopped on at one of our stops at Shaw and joined the conversation during the last leg of the trip.
During a break in the morning, we had some munchies while our most disciplined member(!) did her daily power walk around the passenger cabin (a prettier experience than mall walking). We did have some curious onlookers stop to ask what kind of group we were, and seemed to be delighted that we call ourselves Faith On the Ferry and study Scripture together. The trip between islands was calm and lovely, and we even caused the sun to break through the clouds as we neared the Friday Harbor dock at about 11AM.
The consensus was that the morning's trip was well worth doing, and that once a month seems to be just right, especially since we can keep in touch and keep up with reading and pondering assignments by means of this blog and e-mails. I am waiting to hear from some potential book group members who might join us from Orcas and Lopez, since first Wednesdays conflict with their previous commitments, and first Tuesdays just might work better for those who participated, as well as for new members. If you are someone who would prefer first Tuesdays, please e-mail us at email@example.com so we can plan for next month's meeting. If I do not get a positive response on this, we'll keep our original commitment to first Wednesdays.
Meanwhile, the assignment for January is to read and reread chapters 3 and 4 of St. John's Gospel. Next Friday I will be posting some thoughts about these chapters and some questions for you to ponder. And again, we certainly welcome people who are following the blog, but who cannot do the ferry trip, or perhaps can do so only occasionally. Blessings on you as we continue to embark on this Year of Faith! JC

Wound up Ilkeston Town is celebrating after being bought by Nottinghamshire based SR Education.
The club was forced into liquidation in September over failure to pay a £50,000 HMRC debt. Four parties made a bid for the lease on the New Manor Ground, existing plant and equipment and other assets however liquidator Dean Nelson decided that SR Education were in the best position to have an offer accepted.
Speaking of his decision Dean said: "SR Education submitted a robust commercial business plan which detailed its vision and ambitions for the new club"
The new owners are now keen to restore Ilkeston as a Blue Square Bet North Club. Dave Mantle, one of the main men behind SR Education's bid, is however mindful of the "massive challenge" they have undertaken but says he is "confident" Ilkeston can return to the Blue Square Bet North league within five years.
Central to SR Education's plans will be the movement of the company to the New Manor Ground which will generate a potential £200,000 a year for the club, through investment.
Dave explains: "We believe that will cover all the major overheads- including non- player staff salaries and all apprenticeship scheme costs- and in simple terms, it will mean that gate receipts and all money raised through commercial activities will go to make up the playing budget."

Managed IT services can include everything from remote monitoring and backup disaster recovery, to cloud computing and 24/7 help desk support. These features give unbelievable value to companies, but many are hesitant to switch to an outsourced managed IT service. However, studies show that switching to managed IT can provide considerable financial benefits in a relatively short amount of time.
Return on Investment (ROI) – An IBM white paper called, "Business Value of Managed Services," found that businesses using managed IT services experienced an ROI of 224% over three years with a payback period of 22 weeks.
Optimize Existing Resources – Many businesses have at least one in-house IT employee or even a partial IT team. Sadly, these IT employees often get bogged down fixing individual computers or connectivity issues, when they could, and should, spend their time on critical, business-building projects. According to the IBM study, managed IT services frees up their time to focus on revenue generating jobs, which can maximize potential in their current roles by 42 percent.
Increase Employee Productivity – When all your IT needs, from hardware to software to storage, are unswervingly monitored by a managed IT provider and operating at peak efficiency, employees can amplify productivity. Application downtime is cut by 88% with Managed IT services, according to the IBM study.
Incorporating managed IT into your company isn't about taking a blind leap of faith. It's a calculated choice that will yield a strong ROI, a better IT team, and an increase in productivity across your staff.

Acquiring a new furnace and air conditioning system is a substantial investment and Climate Control Service Experts understands that. However, when you look at your choices, there are many important questions that you need answers for in order to reasonably guarantee you have an energy-saving and cost-effective option for your Mobile area home. Now let's examine what you should be familiar with about a new home comfort system.
Your home's Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, what Climate Control Service Experts refers to as the "home comfort system", commonly includes three major components:
In some Mobile area homes, a heat pump may be used instead of a furnace and condenser. Heat pumps remove indoor heat in the summer and add outdoor heat in winter. Working together with the thermostat, these primary components regulate your indoor environmental comfort level. Like the engine of a car, the home comfort system is the engine of your home that 'drives' your family's indoor comfort year round.
The specs of your home dictate the choices available to you for a home comfort system. The quality of the installation is extremely important in that process. If the installation is poor, the equipment, energy-efficiency and your comfort level is hampered significantly. Irregardless of how much you spent, the equipment will probably undergo frequent repair problems in the future if the install was bad. So it's especially important to work with an HVAC contractor that can back-up their installation quality.
There are a myriad of makes, models, features and options of comfort equipment available to choose from. You'll want to look into every option to assure your home's air quality, humidity level, temperature and energy-consumption exactly the way you desire for your family's lifestyle and health needs. An ethical home comfort company will help you determine your family's specific comfort needs and desires, then simply walk you through all the options available that will meet those needs for you. When they're finished, you should have everything you need to reach a decision, while not feeling like you've been "sold" one.
A credible home comfort company will also undertake what's called a heating and cooling load calculation and an energy-efficiency analysis on your home. These calculations not only help you figure out the proper type of equipment needed, they show how you can benefit from the additional savings of high-efficiency heating and air conditioning products.
Saving money each month thru energy reduction are essential factors because the cost of operating a heating and air conditioning system is typically not added when evaluating your budget. Picture if you found $700 laying next to your furnace or A/C system each year, what would you do with this new found money? As energy costs rise in the future, high-efficiency equipment becomes a "plus" vs. being a "minus" to your family's budget. Likewise, as heating and air conditioning manufacturers build more efficient equipment, the outdoor environment also benefits. So carefully consider high-efficiency equipment. It's equipment developed to save much more than just your utility bills; it's environmentally conscious.
When evaluating Warranties and Guarantees from multiple Mobile area companies, carefully consider and aggressively question the financial stability, history and longevity of the businesses you might assign the job. There are plenty of inexpensive, inexperienced HVAC service companies doing business today; buyer beware. A paper certificate does not help you if the issuing company is not around when you need to use it. The company should be viable enough to supply you favorable financing so you can further leverage the financial investment with low, easy to manage monthly payments. The risk with too many smaller companies is that they are sold or just go out of business.
In summary, the manufacturer of the equipment will usually warrant difficulties in the equipment, but the installing company independently guarantees the installation work.
If you live in the Mobile area, Climate Control Service Experts can help you. Schedule an appointment online or simply call 251-202-7503 and we will be happy to assist you.
A new furnace or air conditioning system can save you energy and money every single month. We know that buying a new system is a big decision; we hope this information has helped you understand the buying process and what to watch out for as you move through it.
