After three years of hearings in a case involving replacement of a roof on a home on Kayenta Street in White Rock, Los Alamos Municipal Judge Alan Kirk finally seemed to have had enough during Monday's court hearing on the matter. Homeowner Jay Stimmel is charged with having a roof in disrepair in five separate cases related to this residence.
Last August, Judge Kirk gave homeowner Stimmel until Oct. 31 to finish replacing the roof and issued him fines of $500 in each of four separate citations but suspended most of those until Oct. 31. As part of the judgment and sentencing imposed, Stimmel was required to submit to the County's Community Development Department and Chief Building Official Michael Arellano photographic evidence and other documentation showing his progress in the replacement of his roof. The documents were to be submitted every two weeks from the date of the judgment and sentencing, with the first being due Aug. 28.
At that time, Arellano estimated that the project could have been completed in a day and a half and that the tarps being used are not rated for UV rays or appropriate for protecting the roof. He also said the roofing materials stacked on the roof at that time were a safety issue. In November, Judge Kirk held a status hearing and because the roof work had not been completed and the required updates were not given to the CDD as ordered, Stimmel was ordered to pay the suspended portions of his fines to the Court. A new notice of violation was issued to Stimmel Dec. 17 and he pleaded not guilty Jan. 8 in Court.
At Monday's hearing, Assistant County Attorney Kevin Powers told the Court that no further work has been done on the roof and that conditions have continued to deteriorate. He said many of the tarps that were placed on the roof have shredded and have been flying into adjacent properties and public property behind Stimmel's property.
Stimmel told the Court he has been unable to work under the most recent permit he was issued because he County has refused to extend it and he believed it could be extended for two years. He claimed the tarps on the roof were kept in good repair until February when he had knee replacement surgery and that when he recovers he will be back on the roof.
Code enforcement officers Larry Valdez and Michael Marquez testified on behalf of the County as well as Stimmel's neighbor Madeline Boyd who complained of the condition of the house and that it is affecting property values in the neighborhood. Boyd said it needed to be resolved "both for the practical standpoint and for the cost".
Powers told the Court that this is an ongoing violation and that more cases are forthcoming because "nothing has been done" in the current case.
Stimmel told the Court that nobody wants the house done more than he does. He said his medical bills are atrocious and that it is unfortunate that his medical expenses started escalating before the start of the roof issue. He said all he is asking is that the County extend the permit, which he said they have chosen not to do, so that he can move on and get back to work on the house. He said he feels bad that due to knee surgery he couldn't get up on the roof and that his neighbors had to "put up with this".
Powers responded saying no proof of any medical issues had been entered into evidence by Stimmel.
"Time after time, effort after effort, we have subpoenaed witnesses, we've been here for trial. He's had tons of time. He has simply given no cooperation to anyone other than himself and we have all borne his responsibility during this time," he said.
Powers said the Court has given Stimmel adequate opportunity and chance, that in the previous cases the permits were extended and nothing at all had happened.
Powers said under the law the permit has expired and the County can't grant an extension. He said that the fees can't be waived, that they are required for everyone.
In response to a question from Judge Kirk, Stimmel admitted that he had not lived in the home since 2011 to 2012. Judge Kirk told him Stage III fire restrictions are in effect and the town "is in a lockdown".
"I look at a house that has exposed plywood with no shingles attached. It's scary! The patience of your neighbors has been phenomenal. I just think the risk you are putting their property in is unacceptable. I don't know where someone gets off thinking they can penalize their neighbors and continue to provide the Court with excuses after excuses without consequences. I've bent over backwards to get you to get this resolved. I think I'm on this now for three years and to hear from one of your neighbors that they've been handling it for longer than that," Judge Kirk said.
Judge Kirk said abandoned properties are a danger to the community. He discussed the process that allows the County to go in and clean up a property and put a lien on it. Stimmel said he is worn out and asked the Court to postpone the scheduled hearings for two weeks and give him a chance to get two bids to finish the roof.
"You have to understand, this is a December case, and this is June. We've been trying to get you in here for months. We're not dragging on this," Judge Kirk responded.
He said he wanted to be fair in getting the issue resolved but that Stimmel is not helping him.
"It's just disregard for all the people who have worked with you and you continually show a lack of interest in getting this resolved," Judge Kirk said. He listed ways for Stimmel to seek funding from state and county resources to help fund the work on the roof if Stimmel could not afford to pay himself.
"I guess I'm on a bit of a pulpit here and it's time for me to back off, but this is ridiculous, and I sympathize so much with your neighbors of that abandoned property down there and it needs to be dealt with," Judge Kirk said.
Powers told the Court that apparently monetary fines "are not doing it". He said the County is suggesting jail time and that he knows how hard that is for the Court and the community to take. He said the penalty is 30 days in jail and/or a $500 fine and told Stimmel he can report on a Friday and do a weekend in jail just to show that the Court is "serious about this"" and that he can get out on Sunday evening and go back to work.
"I think that's the only option we have to show Mr. Stimmel we're very serious. There's nothing to date, not even after $2,000 and four guilty (verdicts) and now a fifth and we've got more coming. I don't think anything will impress Mr. Stimmel any further. I hate to do that. I don't think for a code violation that should be appropriate, but I don't know anything more that I can do, or we can do as a county to have this individual understand that this is an important value. It's a fire, health, life and safety risk for everyone around him and for him not to recognize that, I don't more that we can do," Powers said.
Powers asked for an administrative order to go into the property to see the internal condition.
"There might be more there than we know. There might be mold, there might be a fire hazard, there might be rodent harborage, there's a lot of concerns as you've heard today – something might be jeopardizing the life and safety of even Mr. Stimmel himself," he said.
Judge Kirk continued sentencing until Monday, June 25 on condition that Stimmel provides two bids by Friday to the court with plans for moving forward.

Cebisa Mtsi is one of many women in South Africa who has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse, but she has chosen to use her history to shape her future. By Buhle Mweli
After years of living with the shame stemming from her early childhood experiences, she decided to use her past to inspire other people by penning her autobiography, This is My Story. Cebisa is now a self-employed motivational speaker who finds healing in helping other people.
This is My Story gives readers a vivid account of the 40-year-old mother's life so far. Although it is a short read, it's still heartbreaking and comforting at the same time. It gives you hope.
At the age of four, when most kids would have been carefree and playing with friends, Cebisa was just finding out that the people who had taken care of her since she was born were not her biological parents. She had been adopted by a woman who had struggled to conceive for years. After her biological mother in the Eastern Cape was threatened with disownment for getting pregnant at the age of 19, she felt she had no other choice.
When her biological family surfaced, Cebisa was five. Her adoptive family asked for a cow in exchange for their daughter, and when they eventually received it, Cebisa was reunited with her family. And, unbeknownst to them, she'd been molested by her adoptive brother several times.
'When I met my mother for the first time, I assumed my life would be easy after that,' she explains. But she was soon shipped off to join her brother and grandmother in Johannesburg, leaving her mother to stay behind in the Eastern Cape.
Cebisa explains how her teenage years in the house were marred by a cousin who raped her repeatedly for three months until he moved out of their home. Cebisa's life started to unravel from that moment on and she suffered another incident, this time a gang-rape at a boyfriend's home.
'I didn't feel safe in the outside world any more, so I began to retreat inside myself,' recalls the businesswoman and motivational speaker.
'There were moments when I could feel a deep sob building up inside me, but I had to push it back down.'
Rebellious soul
Cebisa moved back in with her mother, but their relationship was strained. She found it hard to fit in and often got into altercations at school. In no time, the silent sobs began to resurface and they took over her mental stability.
Something as simple as a noise would set Cebisa off and then anxiety attacks would follow.
'The conventional doctors could not diagnose me or offer me any help,' she explains. 'My family tried many things to get me some help, but it wasn't until I went to a church organisation that I started seeing an amazing difference in my life.'
Past rewritten
'I met a guy on a visit to Cape Town and soon after my return home, I found out I was pregnant,' Cebisa continues. 'I was 19 years old and still in school, just like my mother was all those years back.' The first-time author describes how her mother took her to a doctor so she could get an abortion.
At 23, Cebisa was studying business management in Cape Town when she met the women who helped her finally confront her past demons and in part helped shape the woman she is today. After several attempts to take her own life, she found solace in music and a relationship not only with her friends, but with her faith.
Cebisa is quick to point out that she would not have been able to overcome the psychological impact her childhood had on her without her faith.
Now the mother to 12-year-old son, Ntando, Cebisa says that she wrote the book and continues to speak around the country because she knows that people need to hear her story. People have suffered all kinds of rejection and abuse, despair and darkness.
'I have forgiven everyone and I hold no grudges. For the sake of my healing and health, I've had to let go. I love my life more than I love my pain. I now have a good relationship with my family.'
'I am now in the process of starting an NGO called This is My Story Healing Centre,' she says. According to Cebisa, the centre will focus on abuse victims and provide them with the platform to share their trials and tribulations in a safe environment free of judgement or pressure. According to South African abuse statistics, many abuse victims don't speak about their experiences. The reasons for this include the fear of retaliation from their perpetrators and the always-present spectre of personal humiliation.
'This is my way of trying to make a difference and not allowing my past to determine my future,' she affirms. 'I'm also considering actually studying counselling, because I have already been providing so much counselling to people informally.'

Two years ago, on March 10 2015, CUASA and Carleton University agreed to a standard confidentiality form with the assistance of an Arbitrator. As a result, there is only one form authorized for use and it is labeled as "Schedule 1". The authorized Confidentiality Acknowledgement also references a document titled Appendix A that lists all relevant articles of the collective agreement that apply to scenarios that may involve confidential situations and where the articles of the collective agreement prevail.
Since March 10 2015, new faculty members have been required to sign this confidentiality acknowledgement. Faculty hired before March 2015 have and can be asked to sign this confidentiality form whenever they are appointed to search committees, tenure & promotion committees, or to other tasks that require non-disclosure. As part of the agreement, CUASA is to be provided with a copy of the signed form.
This is the only confidentiality acknowledgement that the administration is allowed to ask you to sign. CUASA has informed Carleton University that there are still old, unauthorized forms being used and have asked that the old forms be taken out of circulation.
If perchance you are asked to sign any other confidentiality form – i.e. a form not labeled "Schedule 1" which is accompanied by Appendix A – do not sign the form and please immediately inform CUASA of this matter. A copy of the only allowable confidentiality form is available here on the CUASA website.
CUASA is starting a new initiative, sponsored by the equity committee, to mentor new hires who are also unit members. Currently we are seeking volunteers from the existing membership,especially those who are already tenured/confirmed, to volunteer as mentors.
We will provide a half-day training session for mentors (date TBD) to make sure everyone has the necessary basics on directing folks to services and support, as well as giving a more detailed vision of what the mentor's role will be. We are looking for members from across all faculties and the library who would be willing to help guide new members through the start of their careers. Note, members need not come from the same department or faculty as the person they are mentoring.
generally set our new members up to succeed and also to stay at Carleton.
Members are strongly encouraged to think about volunteering as a member. If you do volunteer, we will ask for a profile that will be posted to the CUASA website. New members will be given the opportunity to choose a mentor based on these profiles or may ask the Member Services Officer to assist in connecting them.
In accordance with the AODA, reasonable accomodations will be provided by CUASA. Should you require an accessible format of this communication, you may make this request for accomodation by contacting the President (president@cuasa.ca) in accordance with CUASA's AODA policy.

'Les Misérables' Revival Sets Final Broadway Performance
By Dave Quinn	• Published at 11:41 am on December 2, 2015
Michael Le Poer Trench
There will be empty chairs and empty tables again at Broadway's Imperial Theatre soon, as the revival of "Les Misérables" is set to close.
Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's legendary musical will play its final performance on September 4, 2016. At the time of its closing, it will have given 22 previews and 1,026 regular productions, over its two-and-a-half year run.
In total, since the 1987 production, "Les Misérables" will have played 8,202 performances on Broadway.
The Broadway production of the musical is currently the only one performing in North America.
Based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, "Les Misérables" has been seen by 70 million people worldwide in 43 countries and 22 languages. Its epic score, which has been preserved in 47 different cast recordings, features songs like "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Bring Him Home," "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and "One Day More."
The musical was adapted into a 2012 Academy Award-winning film starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.
The current production stars Alfie Boe as Jean Valjean through Feb. 28. John Owen-Jones, who played the production on Broadway in 2007, will return to the role on March 1 and continue through the show's close.

2 of 11This Siata is not a kit car, it has numbers to match.
3 of 11This Siata is for sale for less than $100,000.
4 of 11The Siata company folded in the early 1970s.

9 of 11Only two gauges are needed.
10 of 11This Siata uses an Alfa Romeo engine.
It's rare that we see a car on BringaTrailer.com that we don't instantly recognize. This 1953 Siata Daina Gran Sport is one of the few.
Siata was an Italian tuning shop that joined the likes of Abarth and Moretti in upgrading Fiats before it began making its own production sports cars in the 1940s. Its first production model was the Amica, built first in 1939, then from 1948-52. The company used Fiat and Seat engines for power, the strongest of which made 47 hp in the late '60s.
This non-kit 1953 Siata Daina Gran Sport is for sale on eBay from Williamsburg, Va., with a buy-it-now price of $98,000. That seems steep; though the seller says only 30 examples of the Farina-designed Daina Gran Sport were made. This car was just treated to a show-quality repaint, according to the seller.
The interior looks clean with recently refinished gray wool floor covering and tan leather seats. The speedometer and tach sit centrally in the cockpit, just above the horizontally jutting gear shifter.
This 1953 Daina is powered by Alfa's GTV 1750-cc engine with dual-overhead cams and Weber carburetors. A five-speed Alfa transmission sends power to the rear wheels. Bring a Trailer says that purists will miss the Fiat 1.4-liter, but also notes that the price has been discounted accordingly. Period correctness be damned, we'll take the bigger engine. Other Dainas have sold for nearly $200,000 in Europe.
The car was displayed at the Amelia Island Concours in March 2008. Later that same year Classic Motorsports did a story on why the Daina was such an important vehicle.
The seller emphasizes the condition of the body, which looks to be in great shape. He says it was taken down to bare metal to get rust proofing before the recent paintjob. The car was restored by Chris Smith at The Creative Workshop in Dania Beach, Fla. The seller says it was the last car Smith restored before he retired.
The car is currently stored in a garage in Williamsburg, and the seller says inspections are invited. Overseas transport assistance is also available. Head over to www.bringatrailer.com for more info and a few more pictures. They also have a link to contact the seller.


This one is a bit of a wonky house, leans to one side, and has moss growing round about the eaves. Its name is Hobspot, and a misanthrope fairy lives there.
He doesn't care much about home repair, and would just as soon let it return to the earth from which it came. But if you have a spot that is crying out for a fairy house, perhaps on a bookshelf or amongst ferns in your garden, you may want to consider caring for this house.
According to this curmudgeon, he has been waiting for the last 45 years. (Just how long does it take fairy water to boil, anyway?) He is infinitely patient, curled up beside the hob, humming a tuneless song, and dreaming about that hot cup of tea.
While Hobspot lived with me, I placed a cup of hot tea (with lots of sugar) in front of the house on each full moon. He seemed very grateful and never gave me a moment's mischief. Well…except that one time. After that I never missed a full moon.

De connecticutzanger (Oporornis agilis) is een zangvogel uit de familie Parulidae (Amerikaanse zangers).

Verspreiding en leefgebied
Deze soort komt voor in noordelijk Noord-Amerika en overwintert in Zuid-Amerika oostelijk van de Andes tot Bolivia en Brazilië. De naam - ook in het Engels - is misleidend. Net als de Tennesseezanger, Nashvillezanger en Kentuckyzanger is de naam rond 1810 gegeven aan een dwaalgast die ter plaatse werd aangetroffen, maar is de bijbehorende soort geenszins typerend voor die staat of stad. De Connecticutzanger komt zelfs als dwaalgast niet of nauwelijks voor in die Oostkuststaat; als broedvogel wel in de Midwest-staten van de VS en Canada, van Michigan tot Alberta.

Putin's Saber-Rattling Spooks Ukraine And The Baltic
KIEV, Ukraine -- As the late summer weather begins to cool, Russian military exercises have kept the tensions hot in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe.
A T-80 tank, operated by a Russian crew, is driven off a pontoon bridge during the Open Water competition for pontoon bridge units, part of the International Army Games 2016, in the city of Murom, Russia, on August 6. Nolan Peterson writes that Russian military exercises are like the smoke screens before the Russian stealth invasions of Georgia and Crimea.
Periodic flare-ups in the ongoing war in Ukraine's embattled Donbas region this summer have renewed fears of a full-on Russian invasion and spurred an unprecedented post–Cold War redeployment of NATO military forces toward the alliance's eastern flank to deter further Russian aggression in the region.
The latest headache for Kiev and NATO: Russian military exercises scheduled for Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region in September in addition to Russian snap military exercises launched August 25 in military districts near Ukraine and the Baltic countries.
"If there is an interest in Moscow in stability and predictability, then these exercises are not the way to go," NATO Deputy Secretary-General Alexander Vershbow said Monday.
Russia has staged about a dozen snap military exercises in the past two years, while NATO member countries have not held any since the end of the Cold War, according to news reports.
In September, Russia has plans for a large-scale strategic military exercise called Kavkaz-2016.
The exercise, which is an annual event, will include units deployed near the borders of Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan—including two Russian military districts in the Southern and Northern Caucasus, the Russian Black Sea Fleet (headquartered in occupied Crimea) and the Caspian Flotilla.
It is not immediately clear the exact size of this year's exercise, but last year it comprised 95,000 troops, 7,000 vehicles and 150 aircraft, according to a report by IHS Markit, a U.K.-based intelligence and analysis firm.
"It is important to assess our capabilities for protecting national interests in the southwestern strategic direction amid the uneasy international military and political situation," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in January while commenting on plans for Kavkaz-2016, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
Some military experts say the combination of snap military drills with the planned Kavkaz-2016 exercise have the hallmarks of Russian military maneuvers that served as smoke screens for the invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the hybrid warfare invasion of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
Yet others argue Russia's strategic military objectives have more to do with diplomatic leverage than military outcomes.
Alex Kokcharov, IHS Markit's principal analyst for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, said the Kremlin is probably maneuvering to destabilize the post-revolution government in Kiev, and consequently gain leverage for negotiating sanctions relief at the G-20 summit to be held in Hangzhou, China, from September 4 to 5.
"War is a continuation of policy," Kokcharov told The Daily Signal.
"And the Kremlin's policy is to keep Ukraine sufficiently destabilized to stall the implementation of its reform agenda and economic recovery, and thus to engineer a fall of the current pro-Western government in Kiev."
Fighting Seasons
A combined force of pro-Russian separatists and Russian regulars has been fighting a limited war against Ukraine's military in the southeastern Donbass region of the country since spring 2014.
One year ago, the war's intensity dropped precipitously as both sides to the conflict renewed their commitment to the terms of the ineffectual second cease-fire, called Minsk II.
In theory, the war in Ukraine was supposed to end in September 2015.
But it didn't.
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian military announced that during the previous 24 hours combined Russian-separatist forces had attacked Ukrainian positions with more than 690 mortars and 250 artillery shells, including a Grad rocket attack near the southern port city of Mariupol.
One Ukrainian soldier was killed, Ukrainian military spokesman Colonel Andriy Lysenko told reporters Tuesday in Kiev.
Attacks on Ukrainian forces have spiked several times this summer, most notably around the time of the NATO summit in Warsaw (during which NATO members proclaimed their support for Ukraine), and after the August 10 skirmish on the border of Russian-occupied Crimea and Ukraine.
The Crimean border incident was serious enough to prompt Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to place Ukraine's military on its "highest level of alert," and for Western media outlets to momentarily divert their attention back to the only ongoing land war in Europe.
In an August 24 interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Poroshenko compared Russia's support for separatists in eastern Ukraine with the Russian bombing campaign on Aleppo, Syria.
Poroshenko claimed Russia's overall objective was to "destabilize the global security situation" and for Ukraine to be "part of the Russian empire."
The war's escalations this summer have not resulted so far in any significant change in territory or military offensives.
The war in Ukraine remains locked in a static artillery back-and-forth fought from within trenches and the artillery-blasted ruins of towns scattered along the front lines.
And domestic troubles inside Ukraine, such as the July 20 car bomb assassination of a journalist in downtown Kiev, also highlight the steep road ahead for Ukraine's ongoing transition to a democratic society free of the vestiges of communism and the follow-on decades of corrupt oligarchic thug rule.
The next potential inflection point for the Ukraine war is September's G-20 summit in China.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely use the sidelines of the summit to discuss the Ukraine crisis with other world leaders and press for the lifting of sanctions put on Russia for its 2014 Crimean land grab.
"Russia certainly has the military capability to invade Ukraine, but the benefits of grabbing new land in Ukraine would be much smaller than the costs, both direct and indirect, such as potential new economic sanctions," Kokcharov said.
He added: I still continue to hold the view that Putin aims to use intimidation to raise the stakes in the diplomatic game in order to push for negotiations on Donbass settlement that excludes the Ukrainian government from the negotiating table, by branding them illegitimate and terrorists.

When Bishop Claude M. Dubuis of Galveston learned of Mrs. Mary Doyle's intention to leave most of her 498-acre South Austin farm to the Catholic church to establish an education institution, he invited Father Edward Sorin, CSC, superior general of the Congregation of Holy Cross, to Texas in 1872.
Father Sorin was among the first members of the Congregation of Holy Cross, which was founded near Le Mans, France, in 1837. He was sent to the United States to spread the ideals of Holy Cross education, and he founded several schools and universities, including St. Edward's and the University of Notre Dame.
Answering the Invitation
Answering the bishop's invitation, Father Sorin traveled to Austin and surveyed the beauty of the surrounding hills and lakes. A year later, following Mrs. Doyle's death, he founded a Catholic school called St. Edward's Academy in honor of his patron saint, Edward the Confessor and King.
Humble Beginnings
In the institution's first year, 1878, three farm boys made up the student body and met for classes in a makeshift building on the old Doyle homestead. In 1885, the academy secured its charter as a college, and by 1925, it received its university charter.
Honoring Father Sorin
Today, the university honors Father Sorin in several ways. Sorin Hall and the nearby Sorin Oak — a campus landmark and meeting spot — are named for him. And Founders Day events honor Father Sorin and all members of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
"For the kingdom to come in this world, disciples must have the competence to see and the courage to act."
—Constitutions of the Congregation of Holy Cross 2:14

It's been more than a year since I switched from Typepad to WordPress… and it's also been more than a year since I started using the Copyblogger theme for my blog (after a couple months running the Sandbox theme).
Since last summer I had been thinking about upgrading to Chris Pearson's Thesis Theme. From the moment I learned of it, I wanted to use it. Finally, my friend (and master programmer) Ken Gary took care of it for me.
And so you'll notice that I'm now running the Thesis Theme on my blog. Ken carried over the colors from my previous theme and even created the icon idea I had described to him.
You might think that all WordPress themes are about the same, and that you should just pick one that "looks good" to you.
But this approach is misguided.
I've run multiple themes on this blog, my other blog, and my client's blogs. And let me tell you: Not all blog themes are created equal.
Some are difficult to work with. Some have major limitations. And most have no support, so if you ever have a problem, you're stuck!
Thesis is a fully SEO-optimized WordPress theme. The standard fonts are highly readable; the theme itself has amazing design flexibility; and, best of all, it comes with support since it's a paid theme.
A lot of bloggers try to do everything as cheaply as possible. Unfortunately, what little you save in the beginning costs you even more over the long haul (in the form of lost traffic, lost back-links, and lost search engine rankings).
That's why I strongly recommend you install the Thesis theme or a theme with similar functionality.
Whenever somebody makes a small purchase, you have an immediate opportunity to upsell them into a larger purchase. And because of the principle of commitment and consistency, a certain percentage will automatically accept your upsell offer.
This is the principle behind Action Comments, a paid WordPress plug-in created by Robert Plank.
Basically, whenever one of your blog readers takes action by leaving a comment, you have an opportunity to "upsell" them by asking them to subscribe to your email list. And a certain percentage will.
You can see how Action Comments works below. If you leave a comment, it asks if you want a free copy of my Conversion Booster check list. All you have to do is check the box and submit your comment.
The plug-in is super simple to install. And it works with most email service providers, including Aweber. This one plug-in is responsible for adding a couple hundred readers to my blog in just a couple months. The first month I installed it, the number of email subscribers on my list doubled.
Oh, and the best part: You can get Action Comments for only $17. Best money you'll ever spend to improve your WordPress blog.
UPDATE: AWeber now offers a free plugin that does the same thing as Action Comments. If you have AWeber, you can use this plugin instead.
Ultimate Footer Ad displays a horizontal ad across the bottom of your blog (or website). I've set it to display every 7 visits on a 2-second delay.
You can use the ad to offer a free gift in exchange for an email address as I have, or you can simply use the ad to link to a paid offer or whatever you want, really.
Caution: This is NOT a WordPress plug-in since it's designed to work on any web site. Which means it was not as easy to install as I had expected. I actually needed a little help from my friend Ken Gary to get it set up properly.
Nevertheless, the results are awesome. Not only does the ad look professional, it is less intrusive than a regular pop-up. What's more, since it's so different, people actually pay attention to it.
Now, I don't have any definitive test results that prove Ultimate Footer Ad is worth it since it's only been on my blog for less than a week. But a couple of reputable marketers have already run tests and seen big increases.
And I know that pop-ups in general increase opt-ins, so I can't imagine that the footer ad would reduce opt-ins. In other words, it can only help.
The Ultimate Footer Ad costs $47. If you're interested in putting it on your blog or web site, you can order it here.
So there you have it — 3 ways to improve your blog. Now, the key is to take action. Pick at least one of these three suggestions and go implement it right now.

I'm Amy Grzina, owner of Grzinadesign, located in the St. Louis metro area. Half way through my second decade as a freelance graphic designer, I can truthfully say I am doing what I love.
Give me a pencil and a blank piece of paper and I'll be doodling an abstract shape. A blank wall; I'll fill it. A pile of papers; I'll organize it. I never stop creating, thinking, planning or designing. Whether it's your next logo or brochure, the process is the same. Every project starts as a very small idea that needs to be nourished with a little thoughtful design, resulting in a meaningful graphic solution.
Prior to my freelance career, I served as creative director and senior designer for St. Louis' most respected organizations, earning the trust of clients on a wide variety of projects...from the most technically challenging, budget constrained, or confidential subject matter. I have created inspiring designs that have attracted the attention of many awards competition judges throughout my career.
I enjoy working on corporate communications, business to business communications, logos, brochures and pretty much anything that prints on paper. I believe graphic design is an element of direct communication, serving as an extension of your message or goal. It should accentuate a message, never confuse it. I'm known for my unique ability to listen and comprehend challenges and interpret them into meaningful graphic solutions.
Thank you for visiting my site. I'm ready to get started on your project today!

Team Lotus originally Lotus Racing was a Malaysian licensed Formula One racing team which competed during the 2010 and 2011 Formula One seasons, the team scored no championship points in the two years it competed.[1]
The team was set up by a group of Malaysian businessmen led by Tony Fernandes using a licence from Lotus Cars owner Proton, for the use of the Lotus name in Formula One. The team gained its entry after the withdrawal of the BMW team in 2009. After having that licence terminated for further seasons, the team bought the historic Team Lotus brand in the 2011 season.[2]
The Caterham Group was set up after Fernandes purchased British sportscar manufacturer Caterham Cars.[3] Team Lotus, although forming part of the group, continued to compete under the Lotus name for the 2011 Formula One season. The team's name was eventually changed to "Caterham F1 Team" at the end of 2011,[4] it also competed under the Caterham brand in conjunction with the Caterham Racing Junior Team which competed in the GP2 Series.

Founded as Lotus Racing, the team is operated by 1Malaysia Racing Team Sdn. Bhd., a privately funded project jointly owned by Tune Group and Naza Group, in partnership with the Malaysian Government and a consortium of Malaysian entrepreneurs.[5] Proton, the Malaysian car company which owns Lotus Cars, gave permission for the team to use the Lotus brand in Formula One. The Malaysian Government emphasised that the government itself is not going to invest in the team[6] and that the Malaysian government's investment is only through Proton.[7] The project is part of the 1Malaysia initiative, intended to promote unity amongst Malaysians.
The team was formed after the Litespeed F3 team approached Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes, who already sponsored the Williams team through his AirAsia airline.[8] Litespeed had previously made their own bid to enter the 2010 season with the Team Lotus name, but were not awarded an entry. Lotus Racing's debut marked the return of the Lotus name as a constructor to Formula One for the first time since 1994, when the original British company Team Lotus stopped competing in Formula One.
Fernandes, founder and CEO of the Malaysian-based Tune Group, owner of the AirAsia airline, started as the team principal. Having initially planned to stand down from the role once the season begins,[9] he later indicated that he would carry on in this position.[10] The team's technical director was Mike Gascoyne,[5] who had teamed up with Litespeed for their initial application. Team shareholders SM Nasarudin (CEO and executive chairman of Naza Group) and Kamarudin Meranun (the co-founder with Fernandes of AirAsia and Tune Group) were appointed as deputy team principals.[11]
Hingham, Norfolk. His previous experience included senior roles with the original Team Lotus, Benetton Formula, Renault F1 and most recently Red Bull Racing, where he held the role of chief operating officer and director of Red Bull Technology.[12]
The team was based at the RTN (Racing Technology Norfolk Ltd.) facility in Norfolk, UK, 10 miles (16 km) from the Lotus Cars factory. The team's future design, R&D, manufacturing and technical centre was initially to be a purpose-built facility at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit,[5] but Fernandes later stated that the team would in fact remain in Norfolk.[13]
Being Malaysian-owned, the team promoted and respected Malaysian customs including the serving of Halal food[14] and Malaysian cuisine by dedicated chefs, including celebrity Malaysian chef Norman Musa.[15]
The original team logo used during 2010.
Jarno Trulli leads Heikki Kovalainen during practice for the 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix.
Following the team's late acceptance into F1 following BMW Sauber's departure Gascoyne said "We've got a great heritage that we've got to live up to". He also said they wanted to rival the debut of Brawn GP but said that would be a greater challenge as the Brawn team already had a car ready for racing and all they needed was financing. He also mentioned the main objective was to have a car on the grid in Bahrain at 2010.[16]
Development of the 2010 car started late, due to the late acceptance of the team's entry. Working with Fondtech on aerodynamics, the team used engines supplied by Cosworth,[5] and gearboxes from Xtrac.[17] The design was revealed in October 2009 at the start of the wind tunnel programme.[18] On 17 November, Gascoyne and Fernandes gave a joint interview saying they're "feeling the pressure of the famous name".[19]
On 14 December 2009, the team announced their drivers for their debut season as former Toyota driver Jarno Trulli and McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen.[20] Malaysian driver Fairuz Fauzy was also confirmed as the team's test and reserve driver.[21]
The 2010 car, named the T127, was given a private shakedown at Silverstone by Fauzy on 9 February 2010.[22] The car was then officially launched in London on 12 February 2010.[23]
Lotus Racing made their debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix, with both Kovalainen and Trulli being classified as finishers in 15th and 17th respectively, even though Trulli retired with hydraulics issues on the final lap. On 27 June 2010, the team marked the 500th race in the Lotus marque's history. During the British Grand Prix it became known that Lotus were nearing a deal to use Renault engines for the 2011 Formula One season, as well as a formal renaming of the team to Team Lotus.[24][25]
Despite not scoring any points, Lotus finished the 2010 season tenth in the final constructors' standings, courtesy of a 12th-place finish from Kovalainen at the Japanese Grand Prix, beating fellow new teams Hispania and Virgin. Kovalainen featured in the second qualifying session for the team in the Malaysian Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix (qualifying 15th and 16th respectively).
Lotus Racing announced on 5 October 2010 that the team had agreed a deal with Red Bull Technology for the supply of gearboxes and hydraulic systems from 2011 onwards.[26] As part of a major technical team upgrade many Force India staff were leaving their jobs to join the team and aid with car development.[27][28] On 24 October 2010, the team confirmed that it will build a dedicated wind-tunnel facility at its British base. In addition, the team and its GP2 outfit Team AirAsia will expand operations at the existing factory site to take over a further two units, giving Team Air Asia a permanent home alongside the Lotus operation.[29] On 5 November 2010, the team confirmed an engine partnership for the next two years with Renault.[30]

On 30 November 2010, the FIA released the entry list for the 2011 season in which Lotus Racing were listed under the "Team Lotus" name.[31] To show that the team was pressing ahead with its plans, they rebranded their factory, changed their official website and introduced a new team logo.[32] Chief executive Riad Asmat announced that he expected the car to be a genuine midfield runner and challenge for point-scoring positions.[33] Jarno Trulli said that the Lotus-sponsored Renault team had given Team Lotus plenty of motivation to perform more consistently.[34] Lotus announced that they were going to launch their new car, the Lotus T128 – online, instead of a physical launch, and was unveiled online on 31 January 2011.[35]
On 11 March 2011, it was confirmed that Luiz Razia and Davide Valsecchi – drivers for Lotus's sister outfit Team AirAsia in the GP2 Series – would join the team as third driver and test driver respectively, and will take part in a number of Friday practice sessions during the season. Ricardo Teixeira also joined as a second test driver.[36] On 22 March 2011, Karun Chandhok also joined as the team's reserve driver.[37]
Although the relative pace of the T128 was an improvement on that of its predecessor, the team were unable to bridge the gap to the lower midfield over the course of the season, generally being slower than closest rivals Toro Rosso and Williams but solidly ahead of HRT and Marussia Virgin, with Kovalainen's performances putting him under the gaze of rival teams.
Use of Lotus name
The team was renamed "Team Lotus" for the 2011 season, bringing the famous name back into Formula One.
The team originally took a licence from Group Lotus (owner of Lotus Cars) that allowed them to use the Lotus name for the 2010 season.[38] In September 2010, Group Lotus, with agreement from their parent company Proton, terminated the licence for future seasons as a result of what it called "flagrant and persistent breaches of the licence by the team".[38]
On 24 September 2010 Tony Fernandes announced in a press release that his Tune Group had acquired Team Lotus Ventures Ltd, the company led by David Hunt since 1994 when Team Lotus had stopped competing in Formula One, and with it full ownership of the rights of the Team Lotus brand and heritage. The team confirmed that they would be known as Team Lotus from 2011 onwards.
In September 2010, it was announced that Tony Fernandes would be expanding his interests to include a GP2 Series team, to be known as Team Air Asia, named for one of Fernandes's companies, Air Asia. There is already a Lotus Racing supported team known as Lotus Junior Team in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series. However, while it was announced that Team Air Asia would be joining the GP2 grid, fellow GP2 team ART Grand Prix announced a joint venture with Lotus Cars, with their GP2 and GP3 teams to be renamed "Lotus ART" from 2011 onwards in a similar arrangement to the one that has seen Lotus Cars sponsoring Takuma Sato and KV Racing Technology in the IndyCar Series.
Lotus Cars launched legal action against Lotus Racing, claiming that Tony Fernandes did not have the rights to use the Lotus name because David Hunt was never in a position to sell them.[39] Some commentators even went so far as to suggest that this was an attempt by Lotus Cars to force Fernandes to stop using the Lotus name with a view to launching a second Lotus effort in Formula 1 in conjunction with ART Grand Prix; ART had previously submitted a tender to join the 2011 Formula One grid, but withdrew after failing to secure a budget. With the support of Lotus Cars, ART would have the funding needed to enter Formula One.[40]
On 27 September 2010, Proton issued a statement saying that Group Lotus owned all rights to the Lotus name in the automotive sector, including Formula One, and that Fernandes has no rights to use the brand in the 2011 season.[38] Fernandes did however state that the team will go to court if necessary to protect the brand name.
On 8 December 2010, Group Lotus announced that they had bought a stake in Renault F1 and had agreed to become title sponsor, with the French car maker retiring to the role of engine supplier. The team would be known as "Lotus Renault GP", creating a unique situation whereby the 2011 Formula One grid would see two teams known as Lotus and powered by Renault engines lining up to race. To further the confusion, Group Lotus announced that the 2011 Lotus Renault GP cars would carry a black and gold livery reminiscent of the John Player & Sons liveries previously used by Colin Chapman's Team Lotus in the 1980s, paralleling plans by Tony Fernandes to race in 2011 with a JPS-inspired livery. However, on 11 December 2010, Tony Fernandes stated that it was "ludicrous" to run his squad in the same colours as Lotus Renault GP, and thus his team would continue with their present green and yellow colour scheme in 2011.[41]
On 23 December 2010, Clive Chapman – the son of Lotus founder Colin Chapman – released, on behalf of the Chapman family – including Colin's widow, Hazel – a statement expressing their unequivocal support for Group Lotus in the ongoing dispute over the use of the Lotus name in Formula One and declaring that the family would "prefer that the Team Lotus name should not be used in Formula One."[42]

On 24 January 2011, a judge at the High Court of Justice in London set a trial date over the naming dispute for 21 March, which means that two teams – Team Lotus and the Group Lotus-sponsored Renault outfit – will begin the 2011 season with Lotus signage.[43] The case does not revolve around the ownership of the name, but rather over the termination of the contract between Fernandes and Group Lotus. Lotus Racing completed the 2010 season with a name used under licence from Group Lotus. The licence was terminated after one year, with Group Lotus claiming that Fernandes had breached the terms of the contract in using the name and image of Lotus Cars, and so were free to terminate it; Fernandes, on the other hand, claimed that Group Lotus had wrongfully terminated the contract. The purpose of the March hearing is to determine whether or not the licencing contract was wrongfully terminated.[44] The hearing over the ownership of the Team Lotus name will take place later in the year.
At the launch of the Renault R31 in Valencia, Spain, Lotus Renault GP owner Gerard Lopez expressed frustration over the situation and suggested that the dispute was not over the rights to a team name or the heritage of the Lotus name, but over the television rights paid out annually to the teams by Formula One Management. Commentators suggest that Fernandes and his team would be eligible for as much as $36 million for finishing tenth in the 2010 World Constructors' Championship standings, which they would stand to lose if they changed their name.[45]
On the eve of the High Court hearing in March 2011, David Hunt claimed that Tony Fernandes had refused to honour his contractual obligations in purchasing the Team Lotus name and was attempting to renegotiate the contract with terms that Hunt described as "ludicrous".[46] Hunt issued an ultimatum, stating that if Fernandes did not honour the original contract, then Hunt would not support him in his case against Group Lotus, which he claimed had "[some] potentially serious holes".[46] Team Lotus went into the 2011 Australian Grand Prix with David Hunt's support in their case against Group Lotus having made a U-turn on his previous criticisms of Fernandes and the team.[47]
On 27 May 2011, the High Court ruled that the team would be able to continue using the "Team Lotus" name and Team Lotus roundel, but could not use "Lotus" on its own. The ruling confirmed Fernandes as the owner of the Team Lotus name, having bought the rights to the name from Hunt. The court ruling stated that Group Lotus had sole right to use the name "Lotus" on its own, and could enter Formula One using "Lotus" for a team name, the black and gold livery, and the Lotus roundel.[48][49] Team Lotus was told to pay damages after being found in breach of the licensing agreement made with Group Lotus, which had seen the team compete as "Lotus Racing" during the 2010 season.[48][50]
In July 2011, the two parties returned to the High Court, seeking to resolve the issue altogether. Justice Peter Smith expressed discontent towards Tony Fernandes and Team Lotus after Fernandes had made no mention of his purchase of Caterham Cars during the initial hearings. Furthermore, Fernandes had claimed that Caterham would remain entirely separate from Team Lotus, but a promotional video for the company showing Fernandes wearing Team Lotus apparel. Justice Smith commented that had this material been submitted at the original hearing, then it would have had the potential to influence him enough to rule differently in May.[51]

The amount of security on Zoella and Alfie Deyes's new house is unbelievable
By Dusty Baxter-Wright
Now that we're in more control (barely) of the amount of jealousy we feel about Zoella and Alfie Deyes' gorgeous new house, we're glued to their daily vlogs trying to catch a glimpse at the interiors.
And as well as showing off the new trampoline and how their unpacking is going, Alfie revealed in his latest YouTube vid, published on June 15, the unbelievable amount of security they've had installed in their new abode.
We're talking panic alarms, police on speed dial (literally) and face recognition cameras. He explains:
"We have so much security and tech in this house. It's insane. We've got things in the corner of every room that as soon as we go to bed, or if we go to sleep or into particular rooms, the security kicks in. If we ever get broken into or there are any intruders, they make an instant call to the police.
"Another thing we have in this house, which I didn't know we were getting, but I love it and it makes me feel really safe, is panic buttons. We have panic buttons hidden all over the house. If you press it at any time, 24/7 365 days a year, every single police car in the area that's available will come to the house. A police helicopter will even come. The police will climb over the walls to the house and check every single place in the entire house.
"We have cameras everywhere. They monitor over all the walls around the house, and above all the gates. When people ring on the door bell or come up to the gates, it's all recorded and tracked, and their faces are detected. I feel so safe in here."
Safer than the Obamas, probably.
Fans reckon it's a good idea, too, with one taking to Twitter to write: "I'm soo glad @Zoella and @PointlessBlog have the security they need", and another adding: "I''m so happy Zoe n Alfie have loads of high security stuff round their house now, finally they won't get stalked [sic]".
Zoe and Alfie unveiled their incredible new house in one of her YouTube videos earlier this week, and it's safe to say it's pretty special.
Any room for another?

If you don't realize that in your life the most important thing is to leave a free space for poetry, you don't realize the value of your life. You have to leave a free space from obligations, from everything left to do, for the poetry. Sitting on a bench, waiting for the bus, seeing in autumn the leaves that are falling, and create thousand layers of leaves. Millefoglie di foglie. You know, but also, with the poetry you can imagine something, some mistakes, and understand that mistake is human and, in a certain way, is beautiful. So one day we were ready to serve the dessert, so Taka, that you know, he had to, he prepared two lemon tarts for the service. At the moment the service was ready, he dropped one of the two and he broke one of the two on the counter, and Taka was like, as a good japanese, he was ready to kill himself, and I said: Taka! No! Taka is so beautiful don't you see? With the zabaione, just made was splashed! So I said: look Taka, look! Look at this, this is just perfect! So what we did? We rebuilt the same situation in another plate, with all the same elements that were on the top of the lemon tart, and we rebuilt the same tart that we dropped on another plate, and we create the same situaton in the two plates that were ready to serve. So we just replaced the all lemon tart from the counter with all this different elements from south of Italy, the zabaione replaced, the zabaione very quick and thrown like that. I think that's the poetry of everyday life. You have to be ready to see things that others don't even imagine. Make visible the invisible, make visible the invisible. And that plate became an incon.
