The government shutdown's latest victim? Craft beer
By Gene MarksJanuary 15, 2019No Comments

The US government shutdown, which is soon to enter its fourth week, is affecting travel, small business loan approvals, passport administration, national park services, food inspections and tax return processing. Most Americans can live with that at least for a while.
But there's another consequence of the shutdown that could soon rattle American society: a disruption in the deliveries of craft beer. New beer labels must be approved in advance by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau – which is part of the US treasury department – and because of the standstill in Washington this is not happening.
The result? Manufacturers of craft beers – many of whom are small businesses – are feeling the pinch. Thousands of applications are piling up and revenues are going, well, untapped.
"It hasn't gotten to a critical point yet, but it's enough that you're noticing," Geoff Dale, the self-proclaimed "minister of mayhem" at Three Heads Brewing told 13WHAM.com. "We don't want something that was supposed to be out in January to come out in April. You go for a bigger, heartier beer in winter." (Warning to all those pols in Washington DC: you probably don't want to mess with someone who goes by the name "minister of mayhem".)
This is not just a growing crisis for craft brewers. Other liquor manufacturers are also having problems with the shutdown. Indiana-based Sun King Brewery, for example, has been gearing up for the production of a tequila-like drink next month and also has a new bourbon awaiting approval. Unfortunately, the standstill in Washington has halted these plans. "Oh my gosh, it's going to impact us greatly," one of the brewery's founders said in a CBS4 report. "It's not only affecting us, it's affecting every distillery in Indiana and across the country."
In addition to the suspension in new product offerings, some beer and alcohol producers are not able to get approval to sell their existing products across their state lines, and the owners of newer or expanding breweries may be forced to sign leases on buildings not knowing when they will eventually be able to manufacture their product.
Some may roll their eyes and say what's the difference, it's just craft beer, how significant can it be? Pretty significant, as it turns out.
According to a New York Times report, this is a $76bn industry and the more than 7,000 breweries that make it up not only rely on government permission for their livelihoods but also provide the livelihoods for tens of other small business owners and their families that are part of their supply chain. It's yet another reasons why businesses – particularly smaller firms with less resources – always need to have a savings cushion to help them navigate through unexpected challenges – be it a broken piece of equipment, a burst water pipe, bad weather or a something as avoidable as a government shutdown.
"So many lives are affected by this shutdown at all different levels," John Harris, brewmaster and owner of Ecliptic Brewing said in a report on a Portland, Oregon, television station. "Not just the people who aren't getting paychecks but also the businesses being hamstrung by this shutdown, so the government really needs to get together and work this out."

Construction work on a controversial canal that would link the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean via an overland route across Nicaragua and through Central America's largest lake has been postponed until late 2016, says the company behind the project.
Earlier this month, the Nicaraguan government issued an environmental permit for the project, which has an estimated cost of $50 billion dollars. HKND started building access roads for the project nearly a year ago, but has yet to break ground on the waterway.
The project has drawn sharp criticism from scientists over its potential impacts on Lake Nicaragua and delicate coastal ecosystems. Local communities concerned about their farmland have also protested the project, while some policy experts have raised doubts about its financial viability. China's economic downturn and the worldwide collapse in commodity prices, have further undercut enthusiasm for the project.


To close out this summer's adventures, the CAPS team journeyed to Chattanooga, Tennessee for a family reunion. Besides Look-Out Mountain, Ruby Falls, or the famous Aquarium, what activity would you plan? How about a paranormal investigation! Although not all were courageous, we were able to put together a group of seven. Beside us three, Mark and Angel (from Texas) eagerly joined us again, as did our daring nieces Lydia and Elaine from Florida.
Hales Bar Dam located near Guild, Tennessee has been on our bucket list ever since watching an episode of Ghost adventures several years ago. This hydroelectric dam completed in 1913 on the Tennessee River was built on a limestone foundation that was originally sacred Cherokee territory. From the get go, it suffered problems. It was also rumored that a couple of people were entombed in a wall during construction. In the 1960's the dam suffered a catastrophic failure, flooding the area and disrupting hundreds of graves, mainly those of the children that had perished during the Spanish flu epidemic in the 1920's.
It is little wonder that all these tragedies were blamed on a curse, courtesy of a Cherokee Chief named Dragging Canoe, and in 1967 they completed the Nickajack Dam, a few miles downstream to replace it. With such an intriguing history and evidence of the hauntings, I was pleased we were able to set up an investigation through a gentleman named Storm and Shadow Ghost Tours.
It was around 7pm when we pulled up to Hales Bar dam in vehicles loaded with enthusiastic family, fully charged equipment and dreamcatchers draped around our necks, (just in curse… oops I mean in case), We were greeted by the Shadows Ghost Tour members Storm, Jeff and Jordan.
Before I even had a chance to catch my breath, we heard Angel exclaiming from the next room that she had just witnessed a shadow pass in front of her. At the same time I heard Dave say he caught a bright orb in his photo.
Jordan led Dave Mark, Angel, Lydia and Elaine into the Main building via the front gate to set up cameras. After a while, she left them locking the front gate to keep other unwanted intruders from disturbing our team. That left the tunnel door as our only way to get back to command central.
In the meantime, Storm escorted Trish and me through the Tunnel door, and after a few minutes, he confidently left us on our own. After setting up we decided to rejoin the rest of the team in the main building. On our way down the tunnel, Trish felt a cold chill up her back and I felt it on my legs. We also got a major case of goosebumps and the hair on our arms was standing up. Being that it was pretty hot, we really didn't mind! We soon recovered as we stepped deeper into the tunnel, then for fun we turned off our flashlights; it was as pitch black as a cave!
We kept walking until we ran into a dead end, somehow missing that door to the main building. As we retraced our steps, we felt like someone was following us, and again felt chilled. Still not finding the door, we were forced to walk back again, this time noticing another path, but still not finding that elusive door. We kept wandering back and forth and discovered every time we hit a certain area, we got goosebumps! At one point we heard what sounded like a male heavy breather at the end of the hall. Whenever I shined my flashlight in that direction, it would stop only to start up again when I turned the flashlight away. It was disturbing and made us feel uneasy… After walking around for nearly half an hour we gave up, but Trish and I agreed not to let the others know of our humiliating predicament.
When we arrived at the front gate we were surprised to find the rest of the group. Dave was shaking his head in dismay. It seems that they too were unable to find the door that led into the tunnels and called for someone to unlock the front gate. Though planning to keep it a secret, we told them what had transpired for us. How odd that both parties were unable to find that door from either side?
After getting directions to the door Trish and I looked at each other doubtingly, but to our amazement, there it was, that dam door and apparently so easy to find? Dave was astonished as well because he instantly recognized the room they had gone through several times. In fact everyone in the group echoed that same sentiment… No one could understand how we all missed the same door or why we didn't even hear each other; truly a Twilight Zone moment!
Finally Trish and I got the chance to investigate in the main building with the others. There was a slight issue with a bird inside that was screeching a lot. In spite of this annoyance, we heard a male voice followed by a loud noise near the catwalk by the water. As we made our way to the second floor, Trish felt dizzy and I was feeling uncomfortable. Dave also heard what sounded like a group of men talking. Trish really started to feel ill in the section where a couple of people were said to have been buried in the wall of the cement, so we left that area.
We tried a spirit box session, but the SB7 didn't seem to work as well as usual. We did get a "Hank" which was the name of a person thought to haunt the place. When I meandered to the catwalk with Lydia and Elaine we heard a couple of sounds that seemed to be near us.
Mark, Angel and Elaine left the site about 2:30am; the rest of us decided to remain a bit longer. While in the tunnels, Trish felt an urge to sit in a hallway off to the side. She felt a distinct cold breeze in spite of sweating. Feeling rather warm, I decided to check it out and indeed there was a cold spot. I started to get an odd tingling sensation and then the goosebumps came. We learned from Lydia that she doesn't get goosebumps, so she remained unaffected in that area. Dave heard a loud male voice saying "hey" as he moved along the hall. Shortly after that we all heard a loud voice say "seven". It sounded mechanical, so we checked all of our equipment to see if something had turned on, but could not find the culprit. As we went back to the main building, it sounded as if we were being followed.
Upon entrance to the power house, Trish saw something behind me that she described as being a golden orange. Right after that Lydia got her first cold chills of the night! Trish and I were only too happy to have her join our goosebumps' club!
It turned out not to have been any more peaceful in there either as Dave, Trish and Lydia heard lots of banging sounds and walking. Dave was sure there was someone else down there with us! Trish then said she heard someone whistling a tune. Shortly after she mentioned it, we all heard it too, loud and clear! By then it was nearly 4am and time to wrap it up.
This was a special investigation for me and thanks to Shadows Ghost Tour for their gracious hospitality. Made even better because I got to spend time with people I am proud to call family. I can't explain why the seven of us had the mirrored experience with that dam door initially, and I couldn't help thinking about hearing the number "7". We began this summer by investigating Revenant Acres Farm, where the number "7" was a predominant number captured by us and other investigators. Capturing that same phenomenon closing out this CAPS' summer investigations seemed to be ironic to say the least.
Always nice to arrive at a location before it gets too dark outside for some pictures!
Check out more in our Picture Gallery!
Catwalk where The Ghost Adventures captured an interesting figure on video.
This is a series of three picture taken by Dave on the third floor of the pilot building. On the left we have enhance the window where a bright orange light is captured and a white mist that looks like a face. The orange light has moved in the second picture while the mist appears to have disseminated. In the final picture, the camera appears to have chosen to focus on a large orange orb that is evidently now much closer to Dave.
This is the photo I took during our first walk through. We've cropped and enhanced the image in the cut out.
While we were on the second floor of the pilot building, we captured this whispering male voice. Not really sure what is being said, maybe "the guys are mean" or "theres a lazer beam"? Tell us what you think!
Dave decides to tell the bird to "pipe down" and a voice answers "I think he did".
While Dave is in the tunnels joking about drawing, a male voice chimes in "you don't want to" or "you don't know".
There is an area in the main building that is said to have a portal. While Trish and I were standing there my camera batteries started to fail. About 5 seconds in you can hear another voice saying "I did it".
This was while Dave, Mark and Angel was in the tunnels. Around 6 seconds a male whispers. Sounds like "below" to me.
Dave is questioning the bird situation. He seems to get an answer at about 6 seconds.
Listen closely around 3 seconds to the whistler!
This clip is from the tunnels. About 3 seconds may hear "what" then a male voice that seems to say something like "Donny"?

Canyon School Student Is Cookie Queen…Again:
Lydia Sleeper, a fifth grade student at the Canyon Charter School, topped the 1,000 box mark for cookie sales for the second year in a row.
Her total of 1,151 boxes sold makes her one of only 13 girls in the 10,000+ member Angeles Girl Scout Council to sell 1,000 or more boxes.
For anyone keeping a tally, 1,151 boxes equals $4,604 in sales — not bad for a 10-year old going business-to-business on Montana Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard, as well as taking phone orders from Canyon School families and working booths at grocery stores and farmers' markets with the other girls in her troop.
Lydia's Scout Troop 351 sold 3,783 boxes of cookies this year. It will use the funds to pay for Troop activities, including camping trips and a special weekend excursion to Disneyland in the fall.Lydia was honored at the June 7th meeting of the Brentwood Community Council with a Youth Citizenship Award in recognition of her accomplishment. She also received a Los Angeles certificate of congratulations signed by retiring District 11 Councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski.

Wayne McDuffie Bio
Wayne McDuffie's dedication to working out as a football player at Florida State in the 1960s was legendary, and his enthusiasm for perfection continued as a tremendously successful football coach with the Seminoles and a number of other teams.
McDuffie came to Florida State as a 6'2″, 223-pound physical marvel from Hawkinsville, Ga. He was a star on FSU teams that defeated Oklahoma in the 1965 Gator Bowl, lost to Wyoming in the 1966 Sun Bowl, and tied Penn State in the 1967 Gator Bowl. He played center, defensive end and offensive guard for the Seminoles with a passion and commitment that he would later demand from the Florida State offenses that he coordinated for seven years from 1983-90.
McDuffie coached at New Mexico, Oklahoma State, and with the Atlanta Falcons and Georgia twice in his career, but it was the stint at his alma mater that gave him the greatest distinction. In addition to being credited with talking the Seminole coaching staff into signing a skinny quarterback out of Thomasville, Charlie Ward, McDuffie engineered Florida State offenses that became some of the most prolific in the history of college football. In fact, McDuffie's FSU offenses never finished below eighth in the country in scoring during his tenure.
McDuffie received his bachelor's degree from Florida State in 1968 and his master's in 1971. He married Toni, a former FSU cheerleader, and had three children.

'Horny kitho aagaya': Diljit Dosanjh's hilarious reaction to a misquote
Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh responded to a news item that incorrectly cited his Instagram caption. Diljit tweeted the item titled "Diljit Dosanjh says "I'm horny and I do know it" on Twitter on Monday. The post's caption said, "Gal Sexy di ho rehi c.. Kitho a gya is horny. Where did the word "horny" (I was talking about sexy) come from?
Diljit previously uploaded a picture of himself flexing his muscles to his Instagram account. "I'm sexy and I know it," he had written as the caption for the photo. In the photo, Diljit was wearing a blue cap and a black sleeveless T-shirt while raising his right arm to display his well-toned biceps. Lilly Singh, a comedian and TV host, added the word "hurrrrrrrr" and a period.
Diljit continues to post pictures and videos of himself, offering his followers a peek into his daily activities. He just published a video in which he cooked as his cook watched. Dilit was observed making fun of him and making fun of him. He published a video of himself making instant noodles a few weeks ago. Additionally, he posted a video on Instagram in which he displayed his inner salesman.
Diljit is presently engaged in his Born to Shine globe tour. Additionally, he has appeared in movies like Good Newz and Udta Punjab. Alongside actor Sargun Mehta, Diljit will appear in the upcoming family-friendly Punjabi movie Babe Bhangra Paude Ne, which is scheduled to hit theatres on September 30.
He will appear in the 1984 Sikh riots-inspired historical emotional thriller Jogi. The key characters in the movie are also played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kumud Mishra, Amyra Dastur, and Hiten Tejwani. The movie, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, will only be available on Netflix starting on September 16.
According to news agency ANI, Diljit had discussed his part in the movie. He had remarked, "I am looking forward to my digital debut on Netflix. Playing the character of Jogi has been one of the most satisfying experiences." I want to thank Ali and Himanshu for giving me this role; the entire team has put in a lot of effort to bring this lovely story to life. I am looking forward to audiences watching our film and showing their love."

Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, the daughter of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, recently turned one. In a recent interview, Nick discussed the celebration of Malti's first birthday. He remarked that the couple celebrated Malti's birthday "in style." Malti went through "a fairly wild trip in the earlier part of her life," according to the singer-actor, who also described her as "the best."
In December 2018, Priyanka and Nick exchanged vows in Rajasthan. In January 2022, they had announced the surrogate-assisted birth of their daughter. After 100 days in the neonatal critical care unit, the couple took their newborn girl home from the hospital a few months later (NICU). Since then, they have been offering a glimpse into their life as new parents as well as celebrating all of their daughter's milestones, such as when she turned six months old. Priyanka Chopra and Nick, however, have refrained from publishing images of Malti's face.

DAS KONZERT VON TAMER ABU GHAZALEH WURDE AUS PRODUKTIONSTECHNISCHEN GRÜNDEN ABGESAGT!
KARTEN KÖNNEN, DORT WO SIE GEKAUFT WURDEN, ZURÜCKGEGEBEN WERDEN!
Tamer Abu Ghazaleh stands out as one of the few to imbue the region's sound with sentiments of fury and restlessness. A cross-genre composer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and a producer within a generation pushing the boundaries of Arabic styles and rhythms, whilst being exposed to worldwide influences.
With Oud and Buzuq as his instruments of choice, Abu Ghazaleh melds virtuosity with fierce experimentation in composition and songwriting. As a performer, his inventiveness is taken further with trance-inducing interpretations, often imbued with sharp satire, giving him the air of an irreverent modern day troubadour.


In the ornate, marble walled Courtroom Number 1 of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal this morning, there was the promise of change. The famously liberal appeals court, observers knew, might be the place where a new liberal president lifted some of the secrets of the previous administration's war on terror.
Five men who say they were kidnapped by the C.I.A. and taken to overseas prisons where they were tortured and interrogated are asking the Ninth Circuit to give them a day in court. They are trying to sue a company called Jeppesen Dataplan, a subsidiary of Boeing, which they claim operated the flights that delivered them to foreign prisons. They say Jeppesen employees knew they were kidnapped and were likely to be tortured.
Their suit was thrown out of court a year ago when the Bush administration claimed that allowing the case to proceed would expose state secrets and threaten national security. Now the plaintiffs are asking the Ninth Circuit to reinstate the case.
The plaintiffs' attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union were hopeful the Obama Administration would lift the government's claim of secrecy. That hope quickly died in court today when the Justice Department attorney began by stating there has been no change in the government's position - that it is the government's position that for the case to proceed would be a threat to national security.
"This was an early test of how far the Obama Administration is willing to go to rollback its predecessor's penchant for secrecy, and the answer is, 'not much,'" said CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen.
"The government simply doesn't want the courts evaluating its past rendition program even as it evaluates whether it wants to continue the program or limit it," he added.
"It is the policy of this administration to invoke the state secrets privilege only when necessary and in the most appropriate cases, consistent with the United States Supreme Court's decision in Reynolds that the privilege not "be lightly invoked."
The Attorney General has directed that senior Justice Department officials review all assertions of the State Secrets privilege to ensure that the privilege is being invoked only in legally appropriate situations.
"It is vital that we protect information that, if released, could jeopardize national security. But the Justice Department will ensure the privilege is not invoked to hide from the American people information about their government's actions that they have a right to know. This administration will be transparent and open, consistent with our national security obligations."
CBS News' Cohen said the case was "never a close call legally."
"There is plenty of precedent supporting the government's assertion that its dark operations aren't subject to judicial review," he said. "And I would be shocked if the court rules against the Obama Administration here."
"We are shocked and deeply disappointed that the Justice Department has chosen to continue the Bush administration's practice of dodging judicial scrutiny of extraordinary rendition and torture. This was an opportunity for the new administration to act on its condemnation of torture and rendition, but instead it has chosen to stay the course. Now we must hope that the court will assert its independence by rejecting the government's false claims of state secrets and allowing the victims of torture and rendition their day in court."
John Blackstone is a CBS News correspondent.

Renters are BAD for your home value? Are you cereal?
That's the word on the street from some communities out there. They'd rather have your house empty and foreclosed upon than rented out and occupied! I'm not digging that boss.
But according to an article i just read in Feb's SmartMoney mag (pg. 91), that's what a good 40% of homeowners associations are restricting – your option to rent out your own place!
Yikes! I'm no theory expert, but I'd MUCH rather take the chance that a few neighbors get a bit rowdy than have them file for bankruptcy or leave the house empty for all sorts of vagabonds to convene. Plus, you have to remember that if your neighbors can't pay their mortgage and can't sell/rent it out, your own home will eventually drop in value.
You don't have to foreclose!
You can wait out the downturn w/out selling at an incredible loss.
You can move to another home quicker.
You help a renter live in a nice home!
Chance of sucky-a$$ renters causing trouble & making noise.
Chance of sucky-a$$ renters causing a lot of damage.
Chance of community losing value if ratio of renting/owning gets pretty high.
Mixed feelings here. There are some communities where property is rented out and nobody is the wiser, and others where crap happens. Renting is one thing, but a desperate to rent homeowner is another, and having things stolen off my car…and other issues due to the change of climate in the neighborhood is not fun!

Mad Men: a look back at the final season (and its hint at adoption)
Posted by BraveLove 1458sc on May 18, 2015
For all you Mad Men fans out there, last night's series finale marked the end of an era, according to AMC. (For you non-Mad Men viewers, keep reading this…)
Set in New York, the iconic, provocative, award-winning AMC drama follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising. The show exposes and stereotypes the 1960s-70s man who works all day and drinks all night, while his housewife looks the other way and has dinner set by 6. Even the name of the show and its opening credits lend itself to this sexist era. Though during last night's final episode, we wondered if the oh-so-dapper Don Draper was going to survive this time as he performed another one of his disappearing acts - running away from life and all that comes with it. The final credits began to roll, and we were left with the typical finale questions and comments, "alright… well what does that mean? What do you think happened?"
But that's not the only thing that struck us this time.
After looking back at some of the final episodes of the final season, what stood out to us was the culmination of some of television's strongest female characters - like Joan Harris, Sally Draper, Betty Draper and most notably Peggy Olson, who reopened old wounds for the nearly 2 million Mad Men viewers to see. Peggy, played by Elizabeth Moss, is a fascinatingly complicated character. She's "a trailblazing, career-oriented woman whose personal life has been sacrificed at the altar of sexism." She began at the ad agency as a secretary and was sadly taken advantage of by her office superior, Pete, in the early days of the show. Soon after we learned that Peggy got pregnant with Pete's baby, who she later placed for adoption. No one knew except her family, her priest and surprisingly Don. That happened and was never talked about again - until the final season (Episode 11 "Time & Life" of Season 7). Stan, Peggy's art director, was joking with her about kids and how he might have some illegitimate children out there, which led to this honest dialogue:
PEGGY: "It wouldn't matter if you did! You could walk away."
STAN: "I had a mother! And she wasn't great, and I don't know if she wanted me, so I understand something!"
PEGGY: "But you don't understand your mother! Maybe she was very young and followed her heart and got in trouble, and no one should have to make a mistake just like a man does and not be able to move on. She should be able to live the rest of her life just like a man does. Maybe you do what you thought was the best thing."
STAN: "What did you do?"
PEGGY: "I'm here, and… he's with a family… somewhere. I don't know, but it's not because I don't care. I don't know because you're not supposed to know or you can't go on with your life."
Though Mad Men is a fictional show with plots and characters woven together for the sake of drama and entertainment, the stories told are real. After watching, we can only imagine what other birth moms were thinking and feeling as those lines were delivered: "Maybe you do what you thought was the best thing."
Over the last few decades, adoption has changed. Birth mothers can know what's going on in their child's life and still bravely move forward with their own life. But the reality is some people are still living in that era of shame and secrecy that Peggy alluded to: "I don't know, but it's not because I don't care."
Our hope is to erase any shame surrounding adoption and instead show how adoption can be an amazing act of love and bravery. We're glad adoption is changing, and we hope that people begin to see adoption as a loving, caring and brave choice.
If you spot something in the media that ties to adoption, contact us here.

Device to write down our wrap.
I was collaborating with Daphne.
A little difficult because you had to find a lot of words that rhymed.
You push me into the ditch.
You pass rumours around, and push me to the ground, you throw me into the school pool, you think you're just so cool!
But all the bully does is lie!
I have to fake the flu to get away from you. Why do you taunt me and haunt me?

Our pumice products are widely used in the paint and coatings industry as an alternative to traditional fillers such as nepheline syenite, calcium carbonate and silica. The low density and unique particle morphology of the vitreous pumice imparts many desirable properties to the formulation. There are two distinct types of pumice used in these applications differentiated by their particle size distributions.
Safsil is the trade name for our ultrafine range of pumice powders. Our Safsil range are high performance functional fillers that contain less than 0.1% respirable crystalline silica. Safsil is effectively used as a replacement for nepheline syenite, silica, calcium carbonate, and other extender fillers.
Formulating with our Safsil pumice can produce environmentally friendly paints meeting the "Leadership in Energy and Design" (LEED) and "MPI Green Performance" requirements.
Safsil pumice comes in three grades to meet the diverse requirements of the coating industry. Safsil can be used in formulations of both latex and solvent-based coatings.
Safsil can also replace ceramic microspheres and diatomaceous earth in their specialty applications in interior paints.
The hardness, chemical resistance, and abrasive qualities of Safsil pumice makes it an ideal candidates for floor and deck coatings. Pool deck coatings have also been successfully formulated with Safsil pumice.
Safsil pumice is ideal for both architectural and industrial primer applications. The low soluble salt content helps minimize corrosion in maintenance primers. The film texture of paints containing Safsil CT 450 provides 'tooth' for subsequent topcoat adhesion. Primers containing Safsil CT 450 exhibit very good sanding qualities.
Safsil grades have been used successfully in powder coatings for a number of years. The hardness of Safsil pumice is an attribute, and angular sheen control and reinforcement are provided.
Safsil CT 550 has been used successfully by a number of manufacturers to produce quality OEM finishes.
Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS) basecoats and topcoats may be improved with the use of Safsil pumice. In basecoats Safsil grades can help bridge large nodular sand grains and enhance reinforcing. Safsil pumice is a proven asset for improving tint retention in topcoats.
Safsil pumice has been successfully formulated in tennis court coatings, where it provides film reinforcement, sheen control, and tint retention, as well as durability.
Our safsil grades are efficacious in traffic paint applications. The hardness of the material makes it ideal in replacing calcium carbonate in these systems. Safsil CT200 can also replace diatomaceous earth in traffic paints. Improved performance will occur due to greater free binder.
Safsil pumice has been used successfully in driveway sealers. The material contributes to ideal rheology and helps film reinforcement.
Safsil pumice has successfully been used in high heat coatings. Because of its vitreous nature, it can easily withstand temperatures well over 1000 F.

A little bit of the Southeast is coming to Downtown Disney when Sugarboo & Co. opens a retail location. A family-owned boutique offers cozy and whimsical art and treasures to help make your house a home.
Bringing a style that I would label Southern Shabby Chic to points westward. There is an element of whimsy to many of the items for sale that fits in with that I would call the Disney attitude toward life.
SugarBoo & Co started as artist Rebecca Puig's desire to sell artful products that would remind you of the ones you love. The name of the company even came from the owner's nicknames she had for her children.
Look for Sugarboo & Co. on the west end of the Downtown Disney District. It's the company's first location in California. So go ahead and visit. You'll be a trend setter.

Note that, while the Drúedain and Hobbits are established as belonging to branches of the race of Men, and must therefore have descended from the first people to have awoken in Hildórien, the precise details of their descent remain unknown.
The descent of the Northmen was rather more involved than this simple diagram can show. For more on this subject, see the entry for 'Northmen'.
One of the many names for the race of Men, who awoke long after the Elves, the Firstborn. 'Aftercomers' is a translation of the Elvish name Hildor, a word also seen in the name Hildórien, the Land of the Hildor, the eastern region where the first Men awoke into the World.

Ivana Bacik - Legalising abortion in Ireland
From Saturday Morning, 8:13 am on 26 May 2018
Irish senator Ivana Bacik has had a busy week, canvassing and leafleting in favour of the vote to repeal the country's Eighth Amendment - the law that prevents legal abortion in Ireland. It is a fight Bacik has fought since the late 1980s, when she was taken to court by SPUC for providing information on abortion in her role as president of the Trinity College of Dublin's student union. Bacik, who is a Labour Senator in the Seanad (the upper house) of parliament (Oireachtas) is also a qualified barrister, and a senior lecturer and Fellow of Trinity College Dublin. She will speak to Kim about the results of the abortion referendum, polling for which will be about to close.

I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it, Kelly!
I just wished I had read the others first. But I will be fixing that mistake soon!
I am jealous. I need to read the others,too!
This sounds like something I would love. I love all the Entangled books that I've read so far. Just wish I had more time. Great review!

El Cuerpo de Batallones de Marina fue una unidad militar histórica de España creada en 1717 antecedente del cuerpo de Infantería de Marina (España) cuyo proceso de desarrollo histórico comienza en 1537. Los Batallones de Marina tuvieron una participación destacada en la Guerra de la Independencia Española y en las Guerras de Independencia Hispanoamericanas.

Antecedentes
La fecha de 1717 divide entonces en un antes y un después la historia de la organización de la Infantería de Marina española. La Infantería de Marina se reorganiza totalmente, y partir de aquel momento se convierte un cuerpo único y general, lo mismo que lo era la Real Armada. Se crea una fuerza de infantería unificada, conocida como "Cuerpo de Batallones de Marina" y a sus unidades se les dota de una estructura moderna de la época. En esa organización las tropas de infantería de marina se organizan en doce batallones que se llaman "Batallones de Marina".

Reformas durante el reinado de Fernando VII
Anteriormente existían 12 batallones de Marina. A partir de la Real orden de 16 de enero de 1809 se crearon seis regimientos. Cada regimiento está compuesto de dos batallones cada uno, y de ocho compañías por batallón, una de granaderos, otra de cazadores, y seis de fusileros, de ciento cincuenta plazas por compañía. Cada regimiento queda al mando de un coronel de la clase de brigadier o capitán de navío, un teniente coronel o de fragata, un sargento mayor o de la de teniente de navío, con dos ayudantes. La fuerza total del Cuerpo de Batallones de Marina debe consistir teóricamente en catorce mil cuatrocientas plazas (sin los oficiales), y ser mandada por un oficial general de la armada, y repartida en los tres departamentos (Cádiz, Cartagena y Ferrol).

Al finalizar la Guerra de la Independencia se contaba de hecho con seis regimientos, además de las guarniciones de los escasos buques en servicio. En 1815, en razón de las circunstancias, se refundieron el segundo regimiento en el tercero, y el cuarto en el quinto, de modo que solo quedaron cuatro regimientos de marina , de los cuales el primero y tercero pertenecen al departamento de Cádiz; el quinto a Cartagena , y el sexto al Ferrol. En 1817 se reducen a solo tres, los antiguos primero, quinto y sexto, asignados respectivamente a los departamentos de Cádiz, Cartagena y Ferrol.

Un decreto de las Cortes de 27 de diciembre de 1821, en una nueva ley orgánica de la Armada, establecía los Cuerpos de Batallones de Infantería y la Artillería de Marina se refundirían en uno solo, y se les daría igual instrucción en el manejo de artillería que en el fusil. Debido al periodo convulso del Trienio liberal, esta última reforma de este periodo tuvo que esperar hasta 1827 para ponerse en práctica.

Gestas peninsulares

En la Península ibérica estas unidades hicieron frente al invasor francés. La Junta Central organizó cuatro ejércitos de operaciones y estos pudieron reforzarse con la tropa de los Batallones de Marina que no eran necesarios en los departamentos y arsenales de la Marina. Se formarían seis regimientos, integrados los tres primeros por los seis batallones de Cádiz. Los cuatro batallones de Cartagena, incompletos de personal, por lo que no pudieron formar el Cuarto y el Quinto, sino solo el Primer Batallón del Cuarto. Y el Sexto regimiento se constituye en Ferrol. Para las misiones de buques e instalaciones de la Armada se creó un Séptimo Regimiento.

La actuación en los campos de batalla fue muy notable, destacando por su disciplina, y asistiendo a las principales acciones desde la de batalla de Bailén a la de batalla de Tolosa, 25 de junio de 1813. El 19 de noviembre de 1809 tenía lugar la batalla de Ocaña, en la que se ordena al Primer Regimiento de Marina, la misión de proteger la retirada del ejército, pese a la desbandada general, con coste elevado en número de bajas de sus oficiales. Durante esta batalla se distinguió José Fermín Pavía, oficial abanderado del segundo regimiento de Marina. Dicha bandera fue defendida por este oficial contra el ataque de la caballería de Dragones franceses hecho por el que se le concede la Cruz Laureada de San Fernando.

El 1º Batallón del cuarto Regimiento, estuvo encuadrado en la 2.ª División del Ejército de Cataluña. El día 12 de enero de 1810, las fuerzas españolas y francesas tratan de tomar la importante posición de Aiguafreda (Vallés Oriental), y la carga a la bayoneta del Batallón de Marina pone en fuga al ejército imperial francés. Nueve días más tarde, rechaza la carga de coraceros franceses en Mollet del Vallés.

El sexto regimiento al mando del general Porlier se distinge en la batalla de San Marcial el 31 de agosto de 1813, y como resultado de sus esfuerzos se concede a la unidad la cruz de distinción y a los jefes y oficiales en oro.

Gestas americanas

En América, durante los primeros momentos del conflicto, los batallones de Marina también combatieron en defensa de la unidad de la monarquía española. Se trata concretamente de las compañías de los regimientos Tercero y Quinto, de guarnición en los buques de guerra, en base a las que se estructuraron las columnas organizadas en Veracruz, Montevideo y Costa Firme para combatir a los independentistas.

En Veracruz, unos 60 efectivos de tropa de marina de la fragata S.M.C. NSª Atocha y otros buques se reunieron bajo el mando del Rosendo Porlier y sirvieron de escolta al virrey Francisco Xavier Venegas, en el camino desde Veracruz hacía México, mantuvieron dicha ruta abierta, y fueron la base para la creación de dos batallones de marina para Nueva España. Estas tropas que desembarcan en México son las primeras origen peninsular que combatieron en la emancipación hispanoamericana. En Montevideo desembarca la tropa de marina de la fragata S.M.C Ifigenia por orden del capitán general Francisco Javier de Elio y sus 80 efectivos forman el núcleo del batallón Voluntarios de Madrid, que defenderá la ciudad hasta su capitulación. En Costa Firme la reconquista de Venezuela es posible gracias a la formación de un cuerpo de milicias cuyo núcleo son las tropas del batallón de marina que desembarcan con el capitán de fragata Domingo Monteverde desde Puerto Rico.

Uniformidad del periodo
En la Real orden de 21 de octubre de 1815 se estipula que el uniforme del cuerpo de Marina sería igual al de los regimientos de Reales guardias de infantería, con la diferencia de que en la tropa el galón y Sardineta (prenda) son de color amarillo en el cuello, vueltas y carteras de la casaca, con iguales sardinetas en cada extremo del pecho. Para bordo llevan chaqueta, pantalón y poncho de paño color pardo con cuello, vuelta y vivos encarnados.
