(from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Mischke wonders if Undertaker Fred might be going a little overboard in his use of the phrase, "Praise the Lord!"." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "There is a lot of interest in this clip, so I've decided to post it--even though it originally aired just last week! Undertaker Fred calls in to the program and casually mentions that Ricky Rix just got married. The only problem is that Ricky Rix is more commonly knows as Father Ricky Rix-- a Catholic Priest out of St. Louis, Missouri!!!" (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Undertaker Fred passes along the startling fact that Elijah never died." (from Mischke Madness)

clip - "This is just a classic call with Undertaker Fred where everything is discussed--from the gestation period of squirrels to the importance of making corpses look better." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Undertaker Fred has called into the Broadcast 4,387 times. Joe has called in 1,159 times. But this was one of the rare times where they were both on the air together -- and that makes for an interesting call!" (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is just another fun call with Undertaker Fred. It's always hard to categorize these things because each of his calls usually go off in about 80 different directions. The only things you can count on are a few jokes and always a song." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is just a classic Undertaker Fred call from almost a decade ago, back in 1997." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Undertaker Fred has been calling in to the Mischke Broadcast since the day I can't remember when. You might notice a couple of things during these calls: one, Fred always sings a song -- and two, Fred is always working on "saving" Tommy's soul. During this conversation, Mischke asks Fred to relax the preaching a little and just try to accept the fact that he (Tom Mischke) is going to Hell." (from Mischke Madness)

clip - "Apparently, Mr. Rogers got a little weird at times." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Undertaker Fred gives a call and decides he's going to start calling the shots on the Broadcast. When Mischke refuses to let him do so, Fred's nose gets a little out of joint and he's not afraid to let Tommy have it." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is a very rare call where we actually hear quite a bit from Fred's wife -- Bonnie. Usually, she is embarrassed by her husband's antics and is not much for talking on the radio, but Mischke is able to persuade her to spend a few minutes explaining to the listening audience what life is like with Undertaker Fred." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is just a fun conversation to listen in on -- one featuring Undertaker Fred and good ol' Al -- together." (from Mischke Madness)

clip - "Abbott and Costello make a rare appearance on the Broadcast." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is a classic phone call from Undertaker Fred that took place around 1996 or so. At one point during Fred and Tommy's conversation, Mischke suddenly asks Fred about the strangest thing he's ever done. Well, Fred gives an answer, and I can vouch that it was indeed probably the strangest thing he had ever done. In fact, it is probably one of the strangest things anyone has ever done!" (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "This is an Undertaker Fred call from almost a decade ago, but it could have just as well happened last week. It's the usual story, Fred calls in, he and Tommy chat, and then Fred ends up steering the conversation towards religion, God and Salvation. This has always been a point of contention between Mischke and Fred. I often wonder if Fred has just given up on saving Tommy and no longer sees a need to call in. We miss you Fred!! Come back!!!" (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "If you know a little about Mischke's medical history, this is a very interesting conversation between Tommy and Undertaker Fred. It takes place in January of 1999, and Tom is in the midst of some severe medical problems. He literally has a very lengthy list of physical ailments and no one is able to tell him what's wrong. Mischke even ends up going to the Mayo Clinic where they perform a battery of tests, just trying to narrow down what could possibly be going on. What makes this call interesting is that Tom mentions the latest test -- which involves antidepressants. He is a little leery about this possible diagnosis and then expresses his relief when the antidepressants seem to do nothing for him. Oddly enough -- it turns out Tommy actually was suffering from depression! The sad thing is that they didn't discover it at the time and Mischke continued with a seemingly endless barrage of tests, scans, pokings and proddings. Things just got worse from here -- much worse. By the end of February, Mischke was in a bad way and was unable to work for the entire month of March. He finally came back in April and the thought was that he had heavy metal poisoning and was on the road to recovery. But the illness continued off and on until September rolled around. By September, Tommy was such a physical and mental wreck that he disappeared from the airwaves altogether for the rest of the year. In January of 2000, Mischke was finally able to resume the Mischke Broadcast -- much to the relief of many fans. Depression was finally nailed down as the culprit and a long road to recovery was just beginning... " (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "An interesting sound byte where Fred tells Tommy all about a 1953 ad he put together for his funeral home." (from Mischke Madness)
clip - "Undertaker Fred is familiar with almost all of the musical classics. Over his many years of calling in to the Mischke Broadcast, he almost always closes out his call with a classic number from years gone by. That's why when Mischke brings up "Green Green Grass of Home", he is almost stunned beyond belief when Fred admits that he is completely unaware of the song." (from Mischke Madness)

The Spallumcheen Indian Band, also called the Splats'in First Nations is a member of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation, located in the Central Interior region of the Canadian province of British Columbia.  Its main Indian reserve is located at Enderby, British Columbia.  It was created when the government of the then-Colony of British Columbia established an Indian reserve system in the 1860s.  It is a member government of the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council.

In 1980 members of the Spallumcheen Band travelled to Vancouver to protest the Provincial government. The protest involved a march with hundreds of First Nations people, through downtown Vancouver. The protest was sparked by the high numbers of Indigenous children being removed from the Spallumcheen nation, throughout the previous 20 years, and being adopted out to non-Indigenous families, or non-Indigenous foster homes. The protest brought a positive result for the Spallumcheen community, the Provincial and Federal governments' allowed the Band to have control over their own child welfare system. The granting of jurisdiction to the band was made possible through an Indian Act by-law. The by-law was passed in 1980, titled Spallumcheen Indian Band By-law #3 – A By-law of the Care of Our Indian Children. The reason they were able to grant the Band this autonomy was due to a provision in The Indian Act by-laws. Spallumcheen Band utilized section 81(1), (a), (c), and (d). The Spallumcheen Band, to date, still have control over their child welfare. Due to a new interpretation of the by-law provisions, by the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), no Band or First Nation since the Spallumcheen Band have been afforded the same autonomy.

Indian Reserves

The band has three reserves only:
Enderby Indian Reserve No. 2, at the town of Enderby, on the Shuswap River at the mouth of Fortune Creek, 2267 ha. It is near Enderby, British Columbia.
Salmon River Indian Reserve No. 1, on the right bank of the Salmon River two miles north of Glenemma, 1559.30 ha.
Sicamous Indian Reserve No. 3, on the west shore of Mara Lake, two miles south of the Sicamous CPR station, 79.8 ha.

Why Adult Use Legalization Of Cannabis Is Generations Away In Australia
Anybody following the Murdoch press this year will have noted the glee with which newscorp owned publications, (That's FoxNews for our US readers), welcome with barely concealed glee every cannabis bust large and small up and down the country.
Today for example in Queensland there's nothing better than a true blue fallen Australian hero and when that hero is caught with the green the intimation is that the true blue no longer remains.
For our North American readers we refer you to the Meanings and origins of Australian words and idioms
Very genuine, very loyal; expressing Australian values; Australian. This derives from a British English sense of true blue, recorded from the 17th century with the meaning 'faithful, staunch, unwavering in one's commitments or principles; extremely loyal'.

NSW Decriminalisation Proposals
Wednesday this week in NSW, Australia's most populous state, the 7 News Network scooped a story from a state government cabinet leak that suggested discussions were underway to look at decriminalising drugs.
Minor illicit drug possession could be decriminalised in NSW policy change
People in NSW caught with small quantities of illicit drugs could soon be let off with a simple warning in a major change to policy.
7NEWS understands that if someone is caught with a quantity small enough to be classified as "personal use", they may not be charged.
The new policy is set to give people caught with small amounts of drugs three chances, it's understood.
In the first instance, they're caught, a warning will be handed out.
If they're caught a second and third time within a 12-month period, they will be fined.
But if they're caught a fourth time within a year of the first instance, they will face a criminal penalty.
If the subsequent instances occur outside the 12-month period, the count resets.
"It's a major win for common sense," Greens Minister David Shoebridge said.
"It's a major win for young people who can go about their daily lives without being monstered by police."
It's understood the policy would apply to all illicit substances but exact quantities allowed are unclear.
Gino Vumbaca from Harm Minimisation Australia said the move is welcomed.
Although the policy was endorsed by Cabinet on Monday, 7NEWS understands support was not unanimous amongst Ministers, with some expressing concern the government will look like its going soft on crime.
A final decision is expected within weeks.

That set the cat amongst the pigeons!
By Thursday the fightback was in full swing with those in positions of power literally falling over themselves to shoot most of the proposals down.
Gladys Berejiklian Premier of New South Wales "I do not, do not, support the decriminalisation of drugs and nor does my government….You'll remember last summer we resisted a lot of pressure to test drugs at festivals and we did not even go down that path. I do not and my government does not and we will not be decriminalising drugs. Drugs are a scourge on our community."
John Barilaro Deputy Premier of New South Wales. "We are not going soft on crime. We'll continue to make sure when it comes to drug dealers in this state that they get the maximum penalty thrown at them"
NSW deputy police commissioner Gary Worboys. "No amount of drug use is acceptable.As it stands right now the laws are very plain and very simple. The police will always go about upholding those laws [and] we definitely don't condone or allow any scope for people to take, or carry or supply illicit drugs"
Decriminalization is dead duck within 48 hours of it hitting the airwaves although now the concept of depenalisation already operating in the states' drug enforcement regime is being mooted to water down the more proactive proposals. Modelled on an existing cannabis cautioning system, which has been in place since 2000, allowing police to issue a warning for people caught with small amounts of cannabis.
But as Will Tregoning the chief executive of Unharm points out in an excellent article published in the Guardian Thursday 3 December
A wealthy person in their 40s who uses cocaine and cannabis every now and then (while stockpiling a legal drug – fine wines – in their home) generally doesn't have to worry about criminalisation or the threat of arrest – at least until their kids start attending music festivals.

Gede, 35, sits in his cell May 5, 2012 in Buleleng, Bali, Indonesia. His family keeps him in a locked room to control him so he doesn't run away and disturb the community. Diagnosed with Schizophrenia, he has had mental problems since 2001 and has been hospitalized seven times. The Indonesian health ministry spends 2.3 percent of the total national budget on health care for a population of approximately 240 million people. Bali has a shortage of psychiatrists and one government-run mental hospital.
US Congress isn't the only place where mental health discussions have surfaced recently.
The World Health Organization (WHO) discussed the latest draft of a new Global Mental Health Action Plan last week, which, if adopted, would set clear goals for progress and aim to improve accountability in improving mental healthcare around the world.
The action plan will be officially voted for at the World Health Assembly in May, but the draft of the plan received wide support at the recent WHO Executive Board meeting, according to Kelly O'Donnell, coordinator of the Mental Health-Psychosocial Working Group of the NGO Forum for Health, who attended the meeting.
The adoption of the action plan would represent a turning point in global mental healthcare, said O'Donnell.
• Worldwide spending on mental health is less than US$2.00 per person, per year. In low-income countries, that number drops to less than 25 cents per person, per year.
• Almost half of the world's population lives in a country where there is one psychiatrist or less to serve 200,000 people. Put another way, if that statistic held true in the United States, that would mean eight psychiatrists for all of Manhattan.
• Thirty-six percent of people living in low-income countries are covered by mental health legislation.
Delaney Ruston, physician turned documentary filmmaker, is now making a film about global mental health called Hidden Pictures. She has spent the last six years on this project, investigating mental health in India, China, South Africa, France, and the US. She said that in some places she went, she found it nearly impossible to find someone affected by mental illness—even leaders in mental health activist groups—willing to appear on-camera. Stigma against mental health disorders is so rampant in some places, she said, that some people affected by mental illnesses won't even tell family members about their conditions.
In addition to the problem of stigma itself, she said, the field of psychiatry is not always well-respected in countries with the most stigma against mental illness.
In some places, filling a void of medical services are overcrowded hospitals with doctors who are not trained in mental illness, or perhaps worse, abusive psychiatric institutions. In October, Human Rights Watch published a video that examined "spiritual healing centers" in Ghana, where people with mental illness are severely abused.
Changing these deeply engrained barriers to adequate mental healthcare will not be easy, said O'Donnell. He said that the biggest sticking points to widely reforming global mental healthcare are funding and allocation of resources. These challenges will pose a problem even if the action plan is adopted this spring.
Still, O'Donnell has hope that this action plan might be the beginning of a sea change in mental healthcare around the world.


After several hours with the bat, we have a few things to point out in our 2018 Dirty South Made USA Bat review. The barrel profile on the DSB Made drop 10 is smaller than the Ghost X and Quatro, but comparable to the CF Zen. The Made's feel at contact is at least as good as the Quatro's, better than the Ghost X USA, but probably behind the USA Zen in terms of overall feel. The Made stands as a legit and well priced option in the 2018 USA two piece composite bat race.
After exit speed testing, we think the 2018 USA Dirty South Made barrel performs as well as any other composite barreled bat you can find in the USA space for 2018. Although we are yet to be convinced two piece composite barrels are the answer for the USA Bat space, we think if you are convinced, then the true drop 10 swing weight, performance and price point of the 2018 Dirty South Made should put it on your very short list.
At release, the Dirty South was available in a 30-inch drop 10 and a 31-inch drop 12. At the time of this writing (just a few weeks after its release) the bat is now available in a 28, 29 and 30-inch drop 10 and the drop 12, 31-inch. Dirty South's intent is to offer the bat in a 31-inch drop 10 as well. The best way to see what they have available is to check their website.
The DSB Made comes in a drop 10 and a drop 12. We note the drop 12 is a different bat than the drop 10 as the drop 12 is a single piece bat. Single piece bats feel much different than two piece bats. We DID NOT HIT with the drop 12. We find naming the two bats the same confusing. But, for what it is worth, Rawlings does it too with their drop 12 VELO and drop 10 VELO.
Our guess, and this is just a guess, is the drop 12 lacks the power and forgiveness on mishits to be considered seriously. Never in our lives have we been impressed with a single piece full composite bat in a drop 12 regardless of company of origin (yes, including Combat). As much respect as we have for Dirty South Bats, we don't think they somehow cracked some laws of physics. We are doubtful, but in the end, must admit that we have never swung the drop 12. If we start hearing great things about it, we will figure out a way to get it in the lab.
We were the very first independent group to review the Dirty South Bats back in 2015. It has been interesting and impressive to see them grow in their presence on social media and in the eyes of individual reviews. Very recently, they worked out a chance to sell some of their USSSA bats on justbats.com. These are significant milestones in the bat space.
Dirty South is a USA based manufacturer of composite youth baseball bats. They also sell some peripheral baseball items like batting gloves and bat wraps. Our experience with the company has been mostly positive. Although they lack some of the major features more established brands produce (like a lot of size options, including a BBCOR line) what they do produce is legitimate stuff. We have yet to find a kid who did NOT like their Dirty South bat. Nor have we found anyone that has anything but good things to say about the brand and company. They are active in guerilla marketing via social media circles.
As a generally wide industry note, we think the disappearance of Combat left a void that DSB is filling nicely. Dirty South Bats has a small, home grown company sentiment producing big barreled composite bats against behemoths in the space. Word of mouth and a good social media presence, as well as a really big barrel, have taken them a long way. It is reasonable to assume they are on the map to stay.
The Made, in a drop 10, is a two piece composite bat. That is, the bat is made from two pieces of composite fused together at a midpoint. The swing weight on the bat is right in line with other light swinging drop 10 bats on the market.
In theory, the major advantage of a two piece bat is to dampen sting on mishits. Younger players especially can generate more bat speed with the added confidence that their thumbs won't get knocked off on a poorly hit ball. As well, two pieces of material allow engineers more liberty to construct bat pieces with different functions in mind. Clearly the handle serves a different purpose than the barrel, and in a two piece bat, engineers are able to accomplish that with greater ease.
The drop 12 USA DSB Made is a single piece of composite. Single piece composite bats, in theory at least, are meant to produce maximum power to the ball with the added ability to construct an enormous barrel without over-weighting the bat. Dirty South Bats, like Combat before it, has made a living in massively barreled single piece composite bats. The DSB Made, however, is not big barrel like the Swag and Big Texas USSSA DSB counterparts.
There are five, counting the DSB Made, two piece composite USA bats on the market as of this writing. The other four includes the Easton Ghost X, Rawlings Quatro, Mizuno Ghost and DeMarini CF Zen.
As all of these are first year models, it is difficult to tell which bat the public will latch onto the most. Easton's Ghost X, the progeny of the Mako, gets a lot of attention. It also has a very large barrel, but has a bit more hand sting than we'd like to see in a kid bat. But, the Ghost X also comes in the most sizes and drops of any bat on this list.
As a general rule, we think those looking for 1) an above average feel, 2) the most reasonable price point of the two piece composite space and 3) a two piece composite bat in the USABat space, should buy the DSB Made. There should be no hesitation to trust your money with this company.
Where the DSB Made beats all the other USA two piece composite bats, although not by much, is on price. We think this a major consideration.
Time will tell, but we are not convinced that composite barrels will be the answer for the favorite USA bats of the public. The restriction on the standard ties the hands of engineers so severely that a more cost effective and longer lasting aluminum might be the best solution. However, in year one of the standard, there are many legit options on the market. And, without a doubt, the DSB Made in a drop 10 is one of them.
I purchased this bat last year. The handle broke after 11 games and sent it back. They glued it together thinking that would hold. Well needless to say it broke before he got an at bat. They said they wouldn't replace it they wanted to fix it again. The company is a joke and their customer service is an even bigger joke. Do yourself a favor stay away from these guys and go with a reputable company that stands behind their bats.


Higher mortgage payments are coming for more than a million home owners when lenders impose rate hikes from the start of next month.
The worst increases will be felt by Halifax customers, who could typically find themselves paying nearly £200 extra a year.
The Co-operative Bank, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank are also among those raising rates from May 1, blaming the weak economy and the increased cost of funding a mortgage.
A total of 10 lenders have announced interest rate increases in the past week, for those taking out new mortgage deals.
Halifax is raising its standard variable rate (SVR) from 3.5 per cent to 3.99 per cent, affecting 850,000 home owners. Borrowers revert to paying an SVR when their fixed rate deal ends.
Around 54,000 Co-operative Bank customers will see SVR rates go up by 0.5 per cent to 4.74 per cent, meaning payments will typically increase by £15 a month, or £180 a year.
Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks' SVR rate will rise from 4.59 per cent to 4.95 per cent, affecting 30,000 customers, whose payments will typically go up by less than £30 a month.
RBS-Natwest is also pushing up the rate on its One Account, a non-SVR product, by 0.25 per cent, affecting around 100,000 customers. For the majority of these customers, the new rate will be 4 per cent.
Borrowers who have not managed to pay off much of their loan or are in negative equity could find themselves stuck with their existing lender and unable to switch to another provider.
They will face more probing questions to prove they can pay back loans when stricter mortgage rules are introduced from next year.
Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at mortgage adviser John Charcol, said the degree of equity borrowers have in their home will be 'the most important factor' for those facing rate rises who want to switch deals.
He advised those worried they may become 'trapped' as lending rules tighten to overpay their mortgage, saying: 'For a lot of people, the rate they are paying now will be lower than a few years ago.
Greater restrictions are set to be placed on mortgages due to a clampdown by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) on irresponsible lending, to make sure borrowers can only take out mortgages they can afford.
The FSA's Mortgage Market Review proposals will place new rules around mortgage advice and income will have to be verified in every application, with lenders placing greater emphasis on other regular outgoings. The FSA does not plan to implement most of the proposals before the summer of 2013.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) trade body has called on the FSA to allow lenders greater flexibility to help those who may find themselves trapped in their mortgage when the new rules come in, if the lender feels that this is in the borrower's best interests.
The CML has seen 'little evidence so far' that borrowers on an SVR, whether through choice or because they are 'mortgage prisoners', are paying uncompetitive rates.
It said market pressures will help keep rates in check as lenders who raise their SVR rates too aggressively risk losing their most creditworthy customers.

It Started With A Sleigh: A Christmas Romance
183 pages December 2nd 2019
This Christmas Eve, Sadie's determined to stay on the Nice List by helping to save Christmas… but no one said she couldn't have some naughty fun along the way!
Stranded in the city on Christmas Eve when all I want is to go home and be with my family, it was shaping up to be the worst Christmas ever.
That is until a sleigh crashed in the dingy parking lot behind my building. But it wasn't Santa stumbling out of the wreckage – don't be silly! It was three magical Christmas elves.
These elves were not the cute, short, pointy-eared creatures I'd always imagined. El, Tin and Max were tall, charming and, under their elaborate green coats, muscled and gorgeous.
When they begged me to help them find some Christmas cheer to recharge their sleigh so countless children wouldn't wake up disappointed on Christmas Day, how could I say no?
But with only a few hours until midnight, I wasn't sure we could get the sleigh moving in time – especially if my naughty new friends kept distracting me with flirtatious looks and stolen kisses.

Fate brought me face-to-face with the chance of a lifetime – the chance to be her.
Just for a little while.
Just for a taste of another life.
We may have looked identical, but everything else about us couldn't be more different. It was supposed to be easy and fun. No one had to know.
But gradually, I lost the line between who she was and who I wanted to be.
I never imagined I'd fall in love. How was I supposed to go back to my old life when I felt like I belonged in hers?
"The drama starts on the very first page and doesn't let up. The characters in this book are unique, nuanced, and perfectly imperfect."
- Alicia, Amazon review

Bill Lear Snr saw the cancelled Swiss FFA P-16 jet fighter as a basis for a twin-jet executive aircraft. He initiated preliminary design work at St Gallen, Switzerland, in November 1959 and sold his electronics company to the Siegler Corporation.
Using the basic design of the P-16's wing, large tip fuel tanks and cruciform tail (hard tooling for which already existed), designed a compact fuselage that held two pilots and seven passengers. The engines were to be the civilian version of the military- proven General Electric J-85, which put out 2,850 pounds of thrust.
But the project soon bogged down, partly because of the Swiss Government's rigidly structured bureaucracy and partly because Lear found himself constantly at odds with people who literally and figuratively didn't speak his language. The final nail in the coffin may have been the Government's attempt to tax the project before there was even sheet-metal in the jigs. By early 1962, Lear was making arrangements to return to the U.S.
The SAAC designation was left behind, and the airplane became known simply as the Lear Jet Model 23.
While the competition featured cabins that were similiar in size to existing corporate aircraft, Lear produced a smaller, circular cross section that was both light and very strong.
When the number-one airplane was still a few months from its first flight, Lear heard rumblings about the cruciform tail: some engineers doubted that the elevator, with its fixed horizontal stabilizer, would be able to hold up the nose in forward CG. Lear put the project behind schedule in order to install a T tail.
The prototype Lear Jet Model 23 (N801L) flew on 7 October 1963. Lear had hoped to save time by obtaining the type certificate under FAR Part 23 (the rules for aircraft under 12,500 pounds gross weight) rather than the more stringent Part 25, which governs transport-category aircraft. But the Wichita FAA, then not very fa-miliar with jets, tacked on some additional requirements that threatened to slow down certification. In reality, the airplane met or exceeded the most important of Part 25 criteria; the main exception was the bird-proof windshield, later added as part of the changeover to the Model 24.
One of the FAAs additions required that Lear establish balanced field lengths; and it was here that disaster struck. Testing for single-engine climb performance, with an FAA test pilot in the left seat and Lear's pilot in the right, N801 Lima left the ground with one engine actually shut down (normally not done until the very end of the testing phase) and the spoilers inadvertently extended. In this configuration, it was something of a miracle that the airplane flew at all; as it was, even with the gear retracted, it refused to climb much beyond ground effect, and it just managed to clear some trees at the end of the field.
In the cockpit, meanwhile, confusion reigned: an engine restart was unsuccessful because of improper procedure, and neither pilot thought to check spoiler position. Soon the airplane began to settle slowly and, with a field just ahead, the pilots elected to put the gear down and ride it in.The loss of this prototype should have been a crippling blow.
The second and third prototype aircraft being first flown on 5 March and 15 May 1964 respectively. On July 31, 1964, less than two months after the accident and nine and a half months from the Lear Jet's first flight, FAA Administrator Najeeb Halaby personally flew to Wichita to present the type certificate to Lear. The first production Lear Jet 23 was delivered on 13 October 1964 to the Chemical and Industrial Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Lear Jet's went out the door for under $600,000.
Lear increased production to 10 airplanes per month. While the plant was being expanded, he began work on recertifying the airplane under Part 25 (this later be-came the Model 24), developing a stretched version (the Model 25).
In 1965 a Lear 23 established a Los Angeles to New York and return record of 10 hrs 52 min flying time, and a time-to-climb record to 40,000 ft - 7 min 21 sec - with seven people on board.
Intended for single-pilot operation the basic layout was for a crew of two and for five to seven passengers.
There were 104 Model 23s built, although the serial numbers only run from 001 through 099. The difference is five A models, the existence of which stems from the backlog of orders just after the airplane received its type certificate. Lear, during the course of a normal day's wheeling and dealing, would prom-ise yet another airplane to a special customer. To keep this person from having to wait a year for delivery, Lear would sneak him in at the head of the line by creating an A model and bumping all the numbers back one.
In those days, there was no such thing as a standard Learjet. True, the basic airframe/engine combination had been frozen by the type certificate, but the systems and, in particular, the instrument panel were considered fair game for new ideas. The first 30 production aircraft to be completed were powered by 1293kg thrust General Electric CJ610-1 turbojets, but the remainder of the production run of a little over 100 Lear Jet 23s had CJ610-4s of similar thrust. To Lear, all Learjets, even those brought in for routine maintenance, were prototypes. As a result, pilots about to fly an airplane only a few serial numbers away from their usual one still had to take time to locate switches in the cockpit. The first 14 airplanes provide the most extreme exam-ple of this. They all had left-hand control panels, so confident was Lear that single-pilot certification was just around the corner.
-012 set three official world records during a round-robin flight between Los Angeles and New York, making the trip in 10 hours and 21 minutes, with two refueling stops.
-055 set a time-to-climb record. With seven people on board, it went to 40,000 feet in seven minutes and 21 seconds, a record that later fell to a Model 25.
Several Model 23s have passed the 10,000-hour mark.
Engine: 2 x GE CJ610-1.

Thanks to clearly increased marketing expenses, CLIQ Digital Group succeeded in raising revenue by 17.7% to EUR 55.7 million in the 2015 fiscal year (2014: EUR 47.3 million). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose significantly by 73.5% year-on-year to EUR 20.0 million in 2015 (2014: EUR 11.5 million). Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA -/- Amortization and Impairment of Capitalized Customer Acquisition Costs) increased from EUR 2.2 million in 2014 to EUR 4.6 million in 2015. Net result increased by 30.4% to EUR 1.4 million in 2015 (2014: EUR 1.0 million). The lesser increase in net result compared to EBITDA in 2015 is primarily due to a one-off depreciation of current assets. Cumulative earnings per share (EPS) improved in 2015 to EUR 0.22 (2014: EUR 0.17). EUR 17.5 million was invested in marketing during 2015, representing an increase of 28.3% compared to 2014. The positive overall development of the CLIQ Digital Group is particularly pleasing considering the uncertainties in the Mexico region, which in 2015 led to the discontinuation of the Group's local business activities.
Due to the shift to a stronger focus on the markets where relatively high ARPU's (average net revenue per user) can be generated, the profitability of the Group increased significantly in 2015. The ARPU rose significantly to EUR 10.80 in 2015 (2014: EUR 5.91). Also, the CPA indicator (costs per acquisition) recorded a significant increase from EUR 4.37 in 2014 to EUR 7.74 in 2015. The ARPU to CPA ratio, one of the key factors in assessing the profitability of new customer business, improved further from 1.35 in 2014 to 1.40 in 2015. At the same time, there was also an increase in the customer base value of 28.0% to EUR 19 million compared to EUR 15 million by the end of 2014. The customer base value is an important figure for the expected net revenue that will be generated by the existing customers.
In 2015 CLIQ Digital generated a cash flow from its operating business of EUR 18.2 million (2014: EUR 9.2 million). As of 31 December 2015, the Group reported consolidated equity of EUR 40.7 million (2014: EUR 39.2 million). The company's share capital amounts to EUR 6,188,714.00, which consists of 6,188,714 listed shares.
CLIQ Digital AG made a good start in the current fiscal year and kept marketing spend in the first quarter of 2016 at the level of the traditionally strong fourth quarter of the previous year. For the whole year 2016 CLIQ Digital AG expects an increase in marketing spend compared to the period under review. Furthermore, the positive development in the past financial year shows that the CLIQ Digital Group has implemented a strategy to enable double-digit growth, but is also capable of dealing with setbacks as seen in 2015, by anticipating on such market developments. Geographically CLIQ Digital is focused on regions with a high ARPU and attractive margins. "This gives us confidence with regard to the further development of the Group. For the current financial year, we once again anticipate a double-digit growth rates for revenue and profits", commented the Management Board.

I'm debating about ordering a small quantity of Zombies & Toys t-shirts. Because I do not want to get stuck with a bunch of shirts, I thought I would ask for your input. Hopefully, you all would be the ones wearing them.
Shirts would be either gray or black with one of the images below. These aren't solid, but ideas to work off of. Shirts would be American Apparel or similar quality. I would sell them for no more than $15 shipped. Like the other swag I offer, my intent is not to get rich but rather offer an affordable way to show your support.
I posted a poll in the margin and, of course, comments to this post or direct emails are welcome (zombiesandtoys@gmail.com). Because this would involve time between myself and my designer (not to mention money), I wanted to see if it was worth it.
As always, thanks for reading and contributing!
I think if you put the second picture on the front and the first picture on the back (small, at the middle of the top) on gray that would be pretty cool.
I'd be thrilled with the third picture on a white t-shirt, actually.
Think the second image would look great on the front of a Tee if the back of the image was actually the Shirt itself.. a blog address on the back is always useful too.
I'd totally wear any of those on a black shirt (gray too but not white) but my fav is the second one. With the printing costs what they can be I think you'd be fine with just a front image but I do like the idea of the blog address somewhere on there.

During this period, there were no direct executive authority vested in the governors of the territory, who were the presiding officers of the local councils (1973–1976) and the headmen of the individual electoral areas (1975–1976). Before April 1976 The governing authority of the Federal Capital Territory were the colonial administrative districts, which would have been formally known as the districts and had direct executive authority under the governor of the colony. The district system had been created in 1920 and was amended in 1930. In 1960, the emirate of Gwandu was made a district. On 31 March 1976, it was announced that the capital of the new independent Nigeria would be in Abuja, which was located in Gwandu. The districts were reorganized into electoral areas. 1976-1980 The first Nigerian capital city after independence was established at the center of Gwandu, the emirate of Gwandu. The administration of the FCT was vested in the Federal Capital Territory Council (FCTC), comprising nine members, five of whom were appointed by the governor of the Northwest region, two appointed by the governor of the Southeast region, and two appointed by the governor of the Southwest region, while the other three were elected by the three territorial councils. The elected council was responsible for the administering and financing of the territory, while the appointed councils administered 6d1f23a050

Free outdoor summer fun in St. Louis arrived last night with the first Wednesday night concert at the Botanical Garden. One of the big perks of bike riding is attending events without having to worry too much about parking, traffic, etc.
Instead of rushing to get there early, we cooked a nice dinner (featuring local black beans and salsa so delicious that I could just eat it by the spoonful). After a bit of digesting, we biked over to The Garden.
We arrived to find the bicycle racks full. No worries, on to the Forbidden Light Posts.
Background: Until about a year ago, when The Garden finally installed decent bike parking, the bicycle rack was a classic fail: wheel bender style, not bolted to the ground, sitting in the middle of the parking lot with obvious signs that it had been hit by cars in the past. Look my bike up there like a sitting duck? No thanks. Many other bikers obviously felt the same way; we preferred the safer and more secure alternative of locking our bikes to the light posts. The Garden disapproved and sent their minions in golf carts to inform us about the "proper bike parking." Uh huh. After several failed attempts to communicate like reasonable people and explain to security why their idea of bicycle parking was unacceptable (and several attempts to contact higher-ups at The Garden to discuss ideas for remedying the issue, which received no reply), we resorted to simply ignoring the security guards and going about the business of locking our bikes to the Forbidden Light Posts.
Whether it was through our civil disobedience, or the contact attempts, The Garden finally got the memo. Since the installation, I have enjoyed the new bicycle accommodations on many occasions, but last night, with the "lot" full, we resorted to old patterns. (This is not a complaint in any way — I love indications that lots of people are bicycling. A full bike rack sends a powerful message!) No one gave us trouble, which was good, because what would they have suggested?
We suggest doubling the amount of bicycle parking. While the current amount is more than enough (at least right now), for business as usual at The Garden, the bicycle parking will continue to fill to overflowing during special events. For a relatively small investment of money and space (especially compared to car parking), they could accommodate all of the bicycles we saw last night, no light posts needed!

Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona does not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must (i) adhere to or convert to a particular faith or (ii) listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Serving Central Arizona since 1985, Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona (Habitat), an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is an independent, locally run, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization. We work in partnership with low-income families, volunteers and sponsors to build, renovate and repair homes.
The Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona affiliate is one of the most active of the Habitat affiliates and is consistently listed in the top ten among the nearly 1,600 Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the United States.
Since our inception we have built or renovated more than 1100 homes throughout Maricopa County and Parts of Pinal County. These qualifying families pay for their homes through sweat-equity hours and no-profit loans.
Too many residents in Central Arizona still don't have a simple, decent affordable place to live. Almost 17% of the population of Maricopa County lives in poverty conditions.
Impacting Results through Collaboration
Through collaborations between individuals, corporations, faith groups, foundations, Cities and tens of thousands of volunteers we are able to provide over 200 affordable housing opportunities to families through our portfolio of products and services.
Impacting Families and Communities
We recognize the relationship between affordable housing and successful, healthy human and community development. Habitat programs promote dignity and hope. Children thrive in their safe, healthy homes. Communities benefit by reducing crime and urban blight levels. Neighborhood property values stabilize as vacant properties are acquired, renovated and sold to qualified families.
Impacting Generations
Research suggests that stable and affordable housing promotes children's educational success. In 1994 Habitat began building South Ranch II, its 195-home planned community. The book, Encounters South Ranch II, published by the Community Documentation Program and Braun Sacred Heart Center in 2007, later cited the following "…of those 1000 folks who live there now, 98 percent of the children have graduated from high school and 89 percent are going to college."
Incorporating Sustainable Building Practices
As a leader in green and sustainable building in Arizona, Habitat incorporates LEED certification into its renovation and building practices. We believe that for a home to truly be affordable, it must be both environmentally sustainable and energy efficient.
Non-proselytizing policy
Habitat for Humanity and its affiliate organizations will not proselytize. Nor will Habitat work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with Habitat. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

Turma da Mônica Jovem: O Filme é um futuro filme brasileiro baseado na série de HQs, Turma da Mônica Jovem de Maurício de Sousa. O filme é dirigido por Christiano Metri e produzido pela Bossa Nova Group, com parceria com a Oca Animation e Bossa Nova Films. O filme foi anunciado oficialmente durante a  CCXP de 2016. O elenco é composto, no momento, por Amanda Torre, Carolina Amaral e Lucas Leto, o longa ainda não tem todos os atores confirmados. As filmagens e os testes de elenco têm previsão de início em 2019, tendo previsão de chegar as telas dos cinemas de todo o Brasil ainda no mesmo ano.

O filme pode ser considerado a sequência (no sentido cronológico) de Turma da Mônica: Laços, que foi lançado em 27 de junho de 2019, pois este apresentou os personagens de Maurício de Sousa na infância, enquanto Turma da Mônica Jovem: O Filme os apresentará na adolescência.

Enredo
A Turma se envolve em um mistério assustador que pode afetar o destino de todos os jovens. Nessa aventura, totalmente high-tech, Mônica, Cebola, Cascão, Magali e companhia, terão que pôr sua união em xeque para enfrentar uma poderosa corporação.

Elenco

Produção

Desenvolvimento
A pré-produção de um longa-metragem live-action da Turma da Mônica Jovem foi oficializada em setembro de 2016. Com direção de Christiano Metri e lançamento inicialmente previsto para o primeiro semestre de 2019, o filme é coproduzido pela Bossa Nova Group, que já planeja uma trilogia com os personagens.

Na Comic Con Experience de 2016, foram reveladas as primeiras novidades sobre a produção: Parte do elenco principal do filme será escolhida através de audições públicas, com inscrições via internet, de atores adolescentes, na mesma faixa etária dos personagens originais. Foi revelado também um personagem inédito, "Nik, o Geek" , que foi introduzido na centésima edição da revista e se tornaria figura frequente nos quadrinhos, como preparação para o filme.

Escolha do elenco
Durante a CCXP de 2016, foi anunciado que o casting do filme será formado por jovens comuns, sem utilizar atores conhecidos. Para isso, foi aberto um site onde é possível se inscrever para participar do longa. Alguns dos requisitos para os atores são: ter até 17 anos, morar no estado de São Paulo, ter experiência com atuação e conhecimentos em instrumentos ou games que são considerados um diferencial.

A primeira atriz apresentada ao público foi Amanda Torre, que foi escolhida para interpretar a personagem Ramona. Durante a Bienal do Livro do Rio de Janeiro, a segunda personagem foi apresentada. Trata-se de "Denise" interpretada por Carol Amaral. O terceiro personagem a ser lançado foi "Nik, o Geek", apresentado na CCXP de 2017, e interpretado pelo ator baiano Lucas Leto.

A seleção de elenco para o live-action começará em 2020.

Lançamento
Em setembro de 2017, foi anunciado uma mudança no cronograma de Turma da Mônica Jovem. Antes previsto para o fim de 2018, o lançamento do filme foi adiado para o início de 2019, pois ainda está em processo de escalação do elenco.

Em 2019 foi dito que o filme será lançado após as continuações de Turma da Mônica: Laços

Divulgação
O Live-action da Turma da Mônica Jovem foi anunciado em Setembro de 2016 com diretor, e uma atriz escolhida para fazer o filme. Na divulgação da adaptação em Live-action da Turma da Mônica Jovem durante a CCXP de 2016, o diretor do filme Christiano Metri, além de anunciar o longa e abrir a seleção de elenco, revelou que alguns personagens do filme terão um canal no Youtube, podendo interagir com o publico. O primeiro personagem a ser apresentado na feira foi a "Ramona" interpretada pela Amanda Torre. A produção oficial do filme divulgou um teaser com Ramona, que é uma jovem bruxa e youtuber que usa seu canal para falar de magia, astrologia e seus amigos da rua do Limoeiro, como Mônica e Cebola.
 Além de Ramona, outros personagens terão futuramente canais no Youtube.
