Locate the three mounting bolts and begin tightening them. It might make the house more desirable if I ever decide to sell. I have a question that perhaps you can answer. First, let me thank you on behalf of both Rob and myself for a professional and outstanding job! In order to install a garbage disposal, you have to have an available outlet that is protected by a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit breaker. If the disposal is designed to be hardwired, then there are several whips which could be used to neaten up the installation. As long as the two appliances are already on the same circuit and there is no change in load amps this install is deemed existing and the switch can be installed with-out adding an aditional circuit. I have a bunch of kids, and I don't want a disposer that can run while open.
Welcome to the world of garbage disposal living. Either type of the garbage disposal wiring requires dedicated type of a connector at the appliance wall penetration. I feel so much more confident going into this purchase knowing exactly what's going on. Somebody before you borked up and didn't properly mark their wiring by using a white for a hot. Use a multimeter to figure out which is hot when the switch is on. The other, silver side is the white or neutral side. I know you know this but for other possible readers: The power meant for the dishwasher is always on, because the dishwasher has its own switch.
Once the plumbing is connected, make sure that all of the nuts are tight and that the disposal line is secure. At least that's what the home inspector told me when I asked him about it. You really need to verify what wires are what with a multimeter. I'm trying to understand what you are saying, the two wires on the right come from a switch and the left is from the wall? That would make the one on the right the switch leg and the left a neutral most likely. First off, you will need the sink flange and the mounting assembly. Thanks for contributing an answer to Home Improvement Stack Exchange! If you find the information was useful and care to send a monetary donation of appreciation, I would really appreciate it.
Connect the white wire from the switch biox to the white wire of the disposal, the ground wire of the switch box to the ground stud or green wire of the disposal, and the black switched wire from the switch to the black wire of the disposal. The other switch the one I use; they're wired in series is on the wall next to the sink-- and I have it covered with a sheet metal loop they sell these at Home Depot that covers the front of the switch but you can easily turn it on from the side. Another alternative is to use a switch that mounts in a hole in the sink, similar to a soap dispenser, etc. We have now used Charles for both our home and business inspections, and would definitely use him again in the future! Find your gasket and mounting ring and head back under the sink. Likewise, the source ground is splice to connect the combo and the ground wire to the light fixture.
Enjoy your new friend in the kitchen, but always respect what your disposal is capable of doing. Leave extra slack on the cable in case it needs to be relocated or pushed aside for plumbing. Name required Email will not be published required Website By submitting you agree to our Home Electrical Wiring and Electrical Repairs Please Note: Unless otherwise posted, please refer to the following Guidelines when working on Electrical Projects: Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced - Electrical Repairs and Circuit Wiring is Best Performed by a Certified Electrician or Licensed Electrical Contractor. Background: Jeff, a Handyman from West Des Moines, Iowa. The other home inspection reports that I've seen are no comparison to your work. The neutral wire of the circuit power will also need to be identified as well, keeping in mind that the two wires of one cable may be used to loop the power up to the switch and then returning back to the outlet box.
You may not think much of them if you don't have one installed, but once you begin utilizing your garbage disposal, it'll be hard to know how you ever managed without it. Now it's time to tighten the mounting bolts. Once the tabs are into the mounting assembly, turn the disposal so that it locks into place. Welcome to the world of garbage disposal living. Tie the white coming from the panel to one of the silver screws on the receptacle.
There was previously a garbage disposal here connected with this particular configuration. Reposting on other websites strictly prohibited. You want the surfaces to be nice and clean. As long as the circuit isn't providing power to non-fixed in place cord-and-plug it is a non fixed cord and plug application Quote: equipment nor luminaires, only fixed in place devices corded or hardwired, no such 80% exclusion exists in those sections either for fixed-in-place appliances. If you have a dishwasher, connect the drain line to the inlet port on the side of the disposal.
Thank you for all the work you did for us on this purchase and for educating us well. Your J trap will probably not line up perfectly with the disposal, especially if you have a double-bowl sink. The detail and quality of your report will be used by us as a goal for other inspectors we have the chance to do business with in the future. Tools Required: Basic Electricians Pouch Hand Tools and a Voltage Tester. We value your opinion, and wanted to know if you can refer us to any good contractors for our remodel? It was pleasure working with you—almost makes me want to buy another house just to have you come inspect it for us. Now it's time to test your handy work.
If this is the case then I wouldn't want to mess with wiring up a disposal. Isn't that why you hire an inspector? If she unplugged the disposal to replace its plug, and unplugged the dishwasher for whatever reason, and then plugged each one into the other's socket. If the cord wiring is stranded copper, be sure to use the stranded notches on the wire stripper. I got a professional the first time around with your inspection!. I think most have the option of doing it either way subject to preference and local code. Any posts like this that link to a website or blog will be removed.
It seems silly to dedicate a whole circuit to an appliance that shouldn't draw over 2 Amps. Shift your disposal so that the discharge tube lines up with the water pipes. They aren't expensive but it pays and saves time to get one, especially if you are doing it yourself. This is where the dishwasher inlet line is connected. So if the dishwasher is running, and then you kick on the disposal, you can easily overload that circuit. There is nothing inherently wrong with the disposer being wired this way. If that's correct you would wire the switch leg to the hot side of the outlet and the neutral to the neutral.

Lake Stamford, a reservoir formed by Stamford Dam, is located  northeast of Stamford, Texas, in southeastern Haskell County. The lake had a storage capacity in 1999 of  and drains an area of . Due to sedimentation, the estimated capacity as of 2013 is . The City of Stamford owns the lake and half the water rights to Lake Stamford, while American Electric Power (AEP) owns the other half. The city also owns, operates, and maintains associated Stamford Dam.

Lake Stamford serves as the municipal water source for Stamford and the small neighboring communities of Lueders, Ericksdahl, Paint Creek, Sagerton, Avoca, and Corinth. For the lake's 60-year history, water levels have retained significant importance to these communities, providing them their sole source of water. Several notable rain events occurred in 1978 and 2005, resulting in record water levels. Recreational activities include boating, fishing, waterskiing, jet-skiing, and camping. Two marinas are on the lake: Stamford Marina on the south shore, and Anchor Marina on the north.

History

Except for a period from 1919 to 1941, droughts, fairly common in the area, occurred in 1885-87, 1896, 1910, 1918, 1943, and 1952-56. People and animals relied primarily on natural springs. These springs and spring-fed lakes supported a wide variety of animals. Buffalo, turkey, and ducks were abundant, particularly before 1875 when the buffalo slaughter began in Haskell County. The mouth of Mule Creek is located about  west of the FM 600 bridge as it crosses the lake on the north side. At the mouth of Mule Creek was located the Blue Hole Springs. Area residents obtained water from these springs, and in the 1880s, M O Ranch had cattle pens there. As the water table fell due to irrigation pumping, an alternative was necessary. When the lake is nearing capacity, this area of former springs is under Lake Stamford.

When the City of Stamford was formed in 1900, two small reservoirs were built close to the city. Another was built in 1905, and a fourth was built in 1910, 5 miles west of the city. These small reservoirs grew insufficient for the growing town, and in 1919, the Clear Fork Brazos River was dammed just southeast of Lueders to form Lake Penick. This lake was originally  long and held , and initially proved an adequate supply for the city, but by 1927, the capacity of Lake Penick had dropped by a third to  caused by sedimentation from severe erosion upstream. By 1949, the city's water supply had become a significant concern for mayor A.C. Humphrey. Prospective area locations were surveyed, and all were rejected except for a site on Paint Creek.

Construction
Construction for Lake Stamford and Stamford Dam started July 14, 1951, and was completed in March 1953. Deliberate impoundment began in June 1953. Stamford Dam impounds Paint Creek, but numerous other creeks flow into the lake. Horse, Buffalo, and Mule Creeks all flow directly into the lake and are part of the watershed. The design engineer for the project was Freese and Nichols and the general contractor was L. & S. Contractor. The dam is an earthfill embankment  long with a maximum height of . The estimated cost of the dam was $289,365.00. The top of Stamford Dam is at an elevation of  and is  above the spillway. The service spillway is  north of the dam, where the uncontrolled spillway crest is  in length at an elevation of . Lake Stamford is considered "full" (maximum desired capacity) when the lake's water level is  above mean sea level.

California Creek diversion project
At the height of the drought in 2000, a water diversion project on California Creek was built to divert future rainfall from the creek to Lake Stamford, in an effort to supplement the lake's primary inflow of Paint Creek. The project consisted of a channel dam, pump station, and pipeline, and cost an estimated $6.3 million. California Creek runs from west of Hamlin to north of Corinth and Avoca, and then turns northeast and runs parallel to Lake Stamford at a distance around . California Creek does not flow directly into Lake Stamford, but meets with Paint Creek one mile downstream (east) of Stamford Dam. The drainage area for California Creek is , which supplements Lake Stamford's watershed of . Water is only diverted at sporadic intervals when there is sufficient flow in California Creek.

Climate

Water levels
Water levels in Lake Stamford fluctuate significantly, primarily due to extended periods of drought. These droughts steadily reduce the lake level throughout the year, and have ultimately resulted in two occasions when the lake was less than 20% full. The first drought event occurred in the late 1990s until November 2000. The second prolonged drought began July 2013 and ended June 2015. These droughts are usually only resolved after a substantially prolonged period of heavy rains. The lake commonly reaches full capacity with the help of a tropical system moving up from the Gulf of Mexico, as occurred in August 1978 with Tropical Storm Amelia and in August 2007 with Tropical Storm Erin. The amount of water is a key concern for area residents, for whom the lake is their sole source of water.

Record low levels
Since impoundment in June 1953 and initial filling, the lowest water level ever in Lake Stamford occurred on April 13, 2015. The lake was  below conservation pool elevation, held  of water, and was 9.7% full.

Two prior periods of drought produced what were, at the time, record lows. The second-lowest water level occurred on four days in October 2000. On October 20, 2000, the lake was  below conservation pool elevation, held  of water, and was 13.1% full. The third-lowest lake level occurred on August 3, 1978, when the lake was 27.7% full.

Record high levels and cresting events

August 1978
Two days after recording its third-lowest level, the lake surged to its second-highest level ever. On August 5, 1978, the water in Lake Stamford was  above the spillway. This represents an increase over  in less than 48 hours, the lake's fastest-ever change in elevation. In fact, the rise was so fast. it took some three hours for the lake to simply fill to capacity by increasing almost . This was due to remnants of Tropical Storm Amelia. Though Amelia was weak and poorly organized, as it dissipated over Texas, it cause severe flooding.

On August 4, 1978, Stamford received its daily all-time record rainfall of . That same day,  fell on nearby Albany, the record daily rainfall for the entire state of Texas. Also, the nearby California Creek had a peak discharge of  per second and a flood stage height of , the highest since at least 1897. President Carter declared Haskell county, among counties in Texas, a disaster area. The lake receded down to the spillway by August 19, 1978.

August 2005
Since the drought in 2000, the lake has reached (and exceeded) capacity on three occasions. The first event happened very rapidly when, between August 13 and 16, 2005, the lake rose . During the month of August 2005, the City of Stamford received  of rain. Most of the rain was concentrated during the aforementioned four days, with the city receiving  on August 14, 2005, alone. On August 17, 2005, these rains put the lake overcapacity by  with the surface elevation of  and resulted in the record high water level for Lake Stamford. This caused extensive flooding to more than 340 homes, resulting in a disaster area declaration by Governor Perry. Water levels dropped back below the spillway on November 28, 2005.

June and August 2007
The second event was not so much an event as a period. The preponderance of this period's rains were north and west of Stamford, near Haskell and Hamlin. Starting in late April 2007, the area received enough rain to raise the lake by about  by the first week of June, filling the lake just shy of capacity. Then in June 2007, Stamford received  of rain and by July 3, the lake was overcapacity by about . As the lake was dropping back down to capacity (less than  above the spillway), Stamford received an additional  of rain on August 18, 2007, from Tropical Storm Erin. The lake crested on August 21 to  above capacity, and then dropped back below the spillway on November 14, 2007.

April 2010
Beginning the last week of January 2010, the area received two to three times its average monthly precipitation, and February had notable snowfall. This increased the lake by just under  by mid-March.

Then on April 17, 2010, Stamford received  of rain and a total of  for the month. By April 21, lake levels crested at  above capacity, having increased by . Additional rain events in June and September each moved the lake overcapacity again by less than . Water levels eventually dropped below the spillway on December 5, 2010, the last time Lake Stamford was full until July 10, 2015.

Sale of water to Tenaska
On July 12, 2011, the Stamford city council approved the sale of all "excess water" from Lake Stamford for use in Tenaska Energy's Trailblazer Energy Center in Nolan County, Texas. No public debate was held before the decision was made. This sale of water was fairly contentious among many area residents, who were not as confident as the city council that the lake could support such a significant new drain like a large power plant. According to the contract, the exact amount of water to be taken can be adjusted according to a redefinition of the "safe yield", but is currently estimated to be  per year. The length of the contract (effective July 18, 2011) is either 30 years (starting when the plant begins operation) or 45 years from the date of the contract, whichever is earliest. Tenaska also has at its option two 10-year contract extensions, plus three additional 10-year extensions subject to approval of Stamford (which "shall not be unreasonably withheld").

Tenaska and its use of water is not subject to any water-conservation or drought-contingency plans enacted by Stamford. In addition to the , Stamford will sell Tenaska all of its effluent water of about 250,000 gallons/day (280 acre ft/year). The proposed coal-fired power plant would be located 37 miles southwest of Stamford and 47 miles southwest of Lake Stamford.

On June 21, 2013, Tenaska cancelled their proposed Trailblazer coal-fired power plant. While Stamford would have provided the majority of the project's water, Tenaska was unable to find a secondary source of water.

Power plant

AEP (formerly West Texas Utilities) owns a gas-fired electric generating power plant located at Lake Stamford. The plant has a generating capacity of 218 MW. When operating, water is pumped directly from the lake for industrial (cooling) purposes. The plant was put into inactive status and mothballed in September 2002.

AEP holds half the water rights in Lake Stamford. AEP's water supply contract with Stamford expires September 16, 2041, but can be extended by AEP for one additional 10-year term.

IRS launches second web tool to expedite stimulus payments
More than 80 million Americans have received payments since they started flowing last weekend, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.

The IRS launched a second online tool designed to help expedite economic stimulus payments on Wednesday.
The Get My Payment portal will allow taxpayers to give the agency direct deposit information for their bank accounts if they didn't include it on their 2018 or 2019 returns. Treasury and IRS officials are hoping to get the stimulus payments to as many people as possible through direct deposit to avoid delays.
It could take as long as five months to get paper checks to people through the mail, the agency has told lawmakers. But even that timeline appears uncertain for some taxpayers, since the IRS has suspended processing paper returns, the agency's national public liaison told tax industry professionals Monday.
The Get My Payment portal will also allow people to track the status of their payments.
More than 80 million Americans have received payments since they started flowing last weekend, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in announcing the launch of the portal.
To set up direct deposit, taxpayers will have to provide their adjusted gross income from their 2018 or 2019 returns, whichever they filed most recently; the refund or amount they owed from that return; and their bank account type, account number and routing number.
The IRS launched a different web tool last week that allows people who didn't file returns in 2018 or 2019 to provide basic personal information to the agency to receive their payments.
The program is part of the massive coronavirus-response legislation enacted last month. The payments are up to $1,200 for individuals, $2,400 for couples and an extra $500 for children under 17 who qualify.
The payments start phasing out for individuals with incomes above $75,000, or $150,000 for couples.

Defining Judaism illustrates the range of theoretical and practical issues involved in defining Judaism for the purposes of comparative and historical studies. The book is divided into four overlapping sections that all deal, in various ways, with the configuration of "Judaism" and how this configuration relates to other historical and/or disciplinary contexts. Texts range from historical attempts to define individual "Jews" to imagining Judaism as a religion like other religions to modern and post-modern attempts to decenter these earlier definitions. The texts anthologized here are put into context by a comprehensive general introduction, as well as individual introductions to each of the four parts. Although all of the texts collected here are interested in defining Judaism, the theories underpinning their definitions are relevant to anyone interested in the academic study of religion.

File photo. Varsity Jr. Drive-In on Lindbergh Dr.
It's been a few years since the last "What'll ya have?!" was shouted at patrons of the Varsity Jr. on Lindbergh Drive. The former eatery that doled out FOs, chili dogs and artery-clogging onion rings for 45 years was torn down this week in preparation for another "mixed use storage facility" concept. Plans indicate that 10,000 square feet of the four-story building will be devoted to retail space, which could help lessen the inherent yawn factor of any storage place.
Located at the corner of Lindbergh Drive and Cheshire Bridge Road, the lot is just one of many slated for redevelopment in the area. Cheshire Bridge is undergoing a major transformation as strip clubs and old homes occupy land that's increasingly coveted by developers. While some are sad to see the once-seedy street transform, others are elated to watch the connection between Buckhead and Midtown strengthen. But there's no denying that a bit of uniquely Atlanta history was wiped clean with the razing of this place.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get out the front door, and that is what's happening right now in DeKalb County. There has been a lot of misinformation, at best, and outright lies and deception, at worst, as it pertains to the new soccer development coming to DeKalb.
The Atlanta United Football Club is investing upwards of $51 million into this area, and it is the single largest investment central and south DeKalb County has seen in more than two decades. It comes at a cost of $12 million to the county, which is a 325 percent return on investment. However, the significance of the deal spans far beyond the numbers.
This project will be a catalyst for the revitalization of the Memorial Drive corridor, and will bring new people and expanded awareness of the area as a destination for business growth and development. DeKalb's vast diversity in its population of more than 700,000 is concurrent to the diversity of Major League Soccer's fan base. My hope is that this development can unite north and south DeKalb, as it presents a new venue for entertainment, events and tournaments, outdoor graduations and large community gatherings.
I have made no commitments on job numbers, taxes generated, or of specific financial benefits for a reason. This is more than just a soccer facility, and it is more than just about Arthur Blank; although we are excited to welcome both. It is an investment in our future.
DeKalb County Government is a billion dollar organization, and our investment is only a fraction of our budgets over the multi-year commitment in which we will pay out the $12 million.
The original Grindhouse Killer Burgers at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market has again been sold, this time to a local resident.
The 1,500 square foot counter service restaurant has been purchased by Tony Accurso, who reportedly lives "a short bike ride away." Contrasted to the two most recent owners, Accurso, who according to his LinkedIn profile has a background in marketing and advertising, plans to be a "hands on" owner with "incredible plans to grow the business." Accurso will operate the restaurant though a franchise agreement with Alex Brounstein.
Both Brounstein and Steve Josovitz, Vice President of The Shumacher Group, who brokered the sale, indicate that the Grindhouse at the Curb Market has always been profitable.
According to a recent press release, as of September 13th, the Market, along with Grindhouse and other vendors, will open on Sunday afternoons, a day on which all had been closed in the past.
Restauranteur Alex Brounstein first opened Grindhouse Killer Burgers at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market in 2009. At that time, I was a student at Georgia State and would often carve time out of my day to make the trek to the restaurant from the university's main campus.
In the time since the original opening, Brounstein has added new locations to Piedmont Avenue in midtown, South Lumpkin Street in Athens and Concourse D of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
A fifth location is currently under construction on North McDonough Street in downtown Decatur, behind Chick-fil-A and across from Decatur High School. After a number of delays, Brounstein tells me he is on track to have the Decatur outpost open by "late 2015."
ATLANTA (AP) — An environmental organization will host its annual Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary tour next month in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Audubon Society will hold the tour, featuring four properties along a 7-mile route through Decatur, a suburban area of Atlanta. There is an optional fifth stop at the Georgia Native Plant Society Fall Plant sale at Stone Mountain Park.
All proceeds will support the education and conservation efforts of Atlanta Audubon Society. Its mission is to protect birds and their habitats statewide through education, conservation and advocacy.
The tour will be held Sept. 19.
Tour sites include Woodlands Gardens; the homes of Deb and Douglas Wilson; Carolyn and Max Brown; and Mary Kimberly and Gavin MacDonald. Each location is located in Decatur.
Could Donald Trump give this up for Air Force One?
Either way, which ever plane he would be on would be AIR FORCE ONE...That is if he becomes President.
Slide the City Make-up Date set for Sept 12- This time on McDonough St.
We have also decided to move the location of the slide from W. Ponce de Leon Ave over to McDonough Street to reduce the impact on businesses and on traffic. Also, as it turns out, the hill is slightly steeper which will make for a really fun slide.
Slide the City has announced that they will bring the slide back on Saturday, September 12th. We understand that dates falls during the CSD fall break, but that was the only weekend open for both the City of Decatur and Slide the City. If you have tickets that you were not able to use last time, they are valid and you do not have to register again. If you have tickets that you cannot use, please email info@slidethecity.com to either transfer the tickets to someone else or to get a full refund.
If you did not get a chance to buy tickets for the slide last time, Slide the City will put more tickets up for sale on Monday. Check their website for more details.

With litigation surrounding the sale of the Morningside strip center still pending, we'll all have to wait and see how things work out. Until then, party on.
Last month it came to light that Smith's Olde Bar on Piedmont Avenue could soon be getting the boot, with an auction of the building it occupies on the horizon. But owner Dan Nolen has set the record straight to the AJC, saying, "Smith's is not closing any time soon," and adding: "Our take on it is that we are going to honor our commitments to the bands that we've booked, and fight to save the jobs of our employees, and fight to save a small Atlanta music venue that's been around a long time." Nolen contends that the family of the property's original owner, who died earlier this year, offered Smith's only a short-term lease that wasn't exactly acceptable. With litigation surrounding the sale of the Morningside strip center still pending, we'll all have to wait and see how things work out. Until then, party on.
If you were to give country music an address, you might say it's at the corner of sacred and profane, two doors up from the blues and folk, and just across the street from gospel, R&B and rock 'n' roll. And on a deeper emotional and spiritual level, it resides where Saturday night meets Sunday morning.
"I've always thought that country music had a really unique relationship with gospel music," Stuart says. "It is interesting to me that country stars can sing drinking and cheating songs authentically, then at some point during the evening or the broadcast, take their hats off and say, 'Friends, here's our gospel song.' If it's the right messenger it seamlessly flows. That's a time-honored tradition, from Jimmie Rodgers to Hank Williams to Johnny Cash. Rogue prophets and rogue preachers. That is my world.

Paper Plane is taking its last flight.
Aloha, Gang. We have an announcement to make over this airplane intercom thing. As many of you know, Paper Plane has stopped food service this month. And at the end of August, after two-and-a-half years, we will stop all service. Paper Plane is taking its last flight, soaring off into the Decatur sunset. Which is to say, you should come by and enjoy our award-winning drinks and lovely staff while you can. You only have until the end of the month! Many of you have asked what's going to replace Paper Plane. We're happy to report that Wal-Mart will set up a small store in that space. Perfect for the Decatur-ite looking for guns, bullets, lawn chairs, half-off Christmas gear—really, anything. Of course, we are kidding. Put down your protest signs. We've got something even more (coco)nuts than that. See you soon, and until then, Mahalo, Y'all!
Go See Pee-Wee's Big Adventure at The Plaza Aug 12. Be sure and tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!
Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens), an eccentric child-like man, loves his red bicycle and will not sell it to his envious neighbor, Francis (Mark Holton). While Pee-wee visits his friend Dottie (Elizabeth Daily), the bike is stolen. Thinking his bike is at the Alamo, Pee-wee sets off on a trip, where he meets many remarkable people, including waitress Simone (Diane Salinger) and a motorcycle gang. Eventually, Pee-wee discovers that his bike is being used in a movie and tries to recover it.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is part of the Plaza Theatre Foundation's Summer Film Series. For a full series line-up, and other series information, click here.

It took a strike for Deborah Vantrece to realize there was something bigger and better out there for her.
The native Kansas City, Mo., woman decided to go to culinary school in 1994, and after working as a caterer and being the owner of Edible Art in East Atlanta and Underground Atlanta, she's now brought her culinary style to Decatur.
Located on East Howard Avenue, Twisted Soul is one of Decatur's newest restaurants. It opened last December, bringing a soul infusion menu to the city's popular dining scene. The menu is replete with such offers as Sweet Tea Ribs with pork belly beans ($22), Pan Roasted Grouper with citrus white lightning butter ($24) and NOLA Barbecue Gulf Shrimp with country-fried biscuits ($23). There's also Southern Marinated Fried Chicken with three cheese orecchiette, collard green roll with sweet potato apple chutney ($18) and a Summer Soul Salad with strawberries, arugula, black pepper, goat cheese and candied pecans ($13).
On its website, the restaurant is described as "Southern based, with a soulful twist," but Vantrece said it's much more than that.
Donald Trump holds a double-digit lead over his nearest rival in the GOP presidential primary.
Billionaire Donald Trump holds a double-digit lead over his nearest rival in the GOP presidential primary, according to a FOX 5/Morris News Poll.
The real estate mogul and reality TV star received 30 percent, the largest support of 16 Republican candidates, in a survey conducted by OpinionSavvy/InsiderAdvantage this month of 569 likely Republican presidential primary voters.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came in second with 17 percent.
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson trailed him with 10 percent, followed by former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee with 7 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 6 percent, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 5 percent.
"Halt and Catch Fire" didn't stoke many embers ratings-wise, but its second and potentially final season went out, on the show's understated terms, in a blaze of glory. AMC's attempt to craft another "Mad Men"-esque period piece from producers behind "Breaking Bad" remained as chilly and emotionally distant as its high-tech setting, but the second-season gambit of dramatically altering the relationships and narrative largely worked, creatively speaking, if not in terms of earning a reboot from the audience. The finale, moreover, deftly left the story open enough to continue while providing appropriate closure if this serves as a full halt.
Blessed with the benefit of hindsight about how computers and digital technology have impacted our world since where this season began 30 years ago, the show remained at its best when exploring those business machinations, and less compelling in its web of relationships. Simply put, watching Gordon (Scoot McNairy) fall apart emotionally while his wife Donna (Kerry Bishe) flourished running the game startup Mutiny had its moments, but never popped as much as this well-informed look into the roots of the tech boom.
For that reason, the finale (and SPOILER ALERT if you haven't watched) came around to a reasonable and logical end point, which felt both true to the characters (mostly) and savvy about allowing viewers to mentally plug in the gaps about what the future likely holds for these fictional pioneers. That culminated with the "California, here we come" finish, and the promise of moving this whole act to the fertile fields of Silicon Valley.
Still, the show's dramatic heart remained the slick-talking visionary/salesman Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), whose adventure trying to settle down personally and professionally – work for an imperious tycoon of a father-in-law (James Cromwell, who tends to class up whatever joint he visits) – seemed doomed from the get-go. Yet the fact that Joe would take what appeared to be his downfall and turn that back into a Phoenix-like rebirth – using Gordon's genius to embrace the burgeoning possibilities of launching an anti-virus business – reinforced the sense of a guy with nine lives, someone who would always manage to land on his feet, usually at the expense of others.
"Real security is trusting no one," Joe said, not only tapping into the paranoia that digital technology has unleashed long before the current era of hacking, but also anticipating the slogan for "The X-Files." The sequence in which he sells the new product by demonstrating what it can do was an example of the show at its very best, displaying Joe's daredevil streak while exploiting everything we know about computing circa 2015.
Granted, "Breaking Bad" gradually broke out into an unqualified hit, but despite talk about seeking to broaden "Halt's" base, even in today's binge-oriented age that's a rare exception. On the plus side, the network did provide "Halt" fans a chance to see the series play out long enough to reach a more satisfying finish – on the eve of that digital dawn when the geeks began to inherit the Earth.
It will be the third Atlanta-area location.
Juice Bar is taking it's health-conscious snacks and beverages to Virginia-Highland. The juicery, with locations in Suwanee and Druid Hills and another planned for Johns Creek, will open at 1402 North Highland Avenue in September. It's the same development that houses Ron Eyester's The Family Dog.
Juice Bar offers typical healthy fare: smoothies, juices, a variety of shots, and cleanses. The shop will also cary "wellness products" from local purveyors such as wellness products from local purveyors such as Georgia Grinders, Golda Kombucha, Mountain Organics, Popstar Popsicles, Queen of Kale, and Vonnie's Wheatgrass. Juice Bar's parent company, I Love Juice Bar, operates 25 shops in 10 states.

City walk Oudenbosch
A walking tour through Oudenbosch is a real must when visiting the municipality of Halderberge. The cultural heritage, architecture and great stories will lead you to believe you're walking through an Italian village.
For an hour and a half, a local guide will take you on a tour of all the highlights. Let the extraordinary buildings in the village surprise you. And of course, there's also room for that typical Brabant cosiness.
The Italian influences of Pastor Hellemons
Pastor Willem Hellemons is an important figure in the story that is told during this tour. This man grew up in Roosendaal, but later studied in Rome where he not only became a pastor, but also became infatuated with the Roman way of life. How that happened is told in this story.
Upon his return to the Netherlands, he settled in Oudenbosch, but in his dreams he was still in Italy. Inspired by the Italian architecture and lifestyle, he commissioned the construction of some impressive buildings. The Basilica is the most well-known. This copy of St. Peter's Basilica is much smaller than the real one, but looks all the more impressive in a small village like Oudenbosch. The various educational buildings and institutions that were constructed under pastor Hellemons' watch, are also built in the same style. The economy of Oudenbosch flourished due to all these activities. Stately mansions arose, and the harbour and train station were buzzing. The influence the pastor had on Oudenbosch in the 19th century has made the city what it is today.
The various buildings have always been well preserved and are the highlights of the city walk.
Group tour bookings
The city walks are organised on Saturdays and Sundays, from April till October.

Face GPS and So's Your Face
UPS Pet Rock, Expect GPS Tracking by Police, Trademark "Face", Smart Vending Machines, Dry Water (year right!), Dead Records, and Free Ice Cream next week!
Pet Rock
Pet Rocks were a 1970s fad conceived in Los Gatos, California by advertising executive Gary Dahl. The first Pet Rocks were ordinary gray stones bought at a builder's supply store and marketed as if they were live pets. The fad lasted about six months, ending with the Christmas season in December 1975. During its short run, the Pet Rock made Dahl a millionaire.
In 1975, Dahl established Rock Bottom Productions, a company that sold the rocks for US$3.95 each.

Guess Who Is Trying To Trademark The Word "Face"?
When it comes to trademarks, Facebook is proving to be a bully. It is going after Teachbook in court for using a similar name, and already forced Placebook to change its name. But that is only half the story.
It is not just the word "book" at the end of a company or product name that Facebook might object to. If it has its way, the word "Face" at the beginning of a name might also bring out its lawyers. In fact, Facebook is currently trying to register the word "Face" as a trademark. (It already owns the trademark on "Facebook"). Facebook took over the trademark application for "Face" from a company in the UK called CIS Internet Limited, which operated a site called Faceparty.com. Presumably, Facebook bought the application sometime around November, 2008, which is when its lawyer started dealing with the USPTO.
47-inch touchscreen vending machine
Time for us to admit another entrant into the hall of unnecessary, but cool inventions. Installed at Tokyo's Shinagawa Station yesterday, this latest spin on the vending machine dispenses with those silly windows unto what you're buying and furnishes its user with a 47-inch touch panel from which to make his (or her) selection. An embedded camera will recognize your gender and age, allowing the machine to recommend a beverage suitable to whatever stereotype is attached to your particular circumstances. And don't worry, it'll store your purchasing history too, so you can be freaked out by tailored ads every time you use it. 500 more of these WiMAX-equipped units are planned to be installed in and around Tokyo over the next two years, with operating company JR East expecting them to tally up 30 percent more sales than their analog brethren. More bling equals higher revenue? Sounds about right.

Man Scrawls World's Biggest Message with a GPS 'Pen'
One man drove 12,238 miles and across 30 states in the U.S. to scrawl a message that could only be viewed using Google Earth. His big shoutout: "Read Ayn Rand."
Nick Newcomen did a road trip over 30 days that covered stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. First, he identified on a map the route he would need to drive to spell out the message. He put a GPS device in his car to trace the route he would follow. Then, he hit the road.
"The main reason I did it is because I am an Ayn Rand fan," he says. "In my opinion if more people would read her books and take her ideas seriously, the country and world would be a better place – freer, more prosperous and we would have a more optimistic view of the future."
Blackberry battle in India going down to the wire
"Efforts by Research In Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry, to broaden the debate over data encryption were dismissed by Indian industry groups as unnecessary Friday and appeared unlikely to break a logjam over government demands for access to users' e-mails by an Aug. 31 deadline."
The Government's New Right to Track Your Every Move With GPS
"Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway – and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements."

The Seabreacher X is the latest and most advanced submersible watercraft that we have built to date: This exciting new version is based on the dolphi- inspired Seabreacher J, but it has a more aggressive Shark-style body.

Commodore USA announces the PC64
Commodore USA, LLC, and Commodore Licensing B.V. have finally come to an agreement, meaning that your subsequent purchases will at least come with a Commodore decal.

Cleveland residents who don't recycle caught by RF chips
In cleveland, ohio, the city is installing RF chips and barcodes on recycling bins. They allow city workers to monitor how often residents roll carts to the curb for collection. If a chip shows a recyclable cart hasn't been brought to the curb in weeks, a trash supervisor will sort through the trash for recyclables. Trash carts containing more than 10 percent recyclable material could lead to a $100 fine.
NMAP Favicon
A large-scale scan of the top million web sites was performed in early 2010 using the Nmap Security Scanner and its scripting engine.

288,945 images were collected and used to create a visualization where the icons are represented.
Gov't can Track Your Every Move With GPS
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (covering California and eight other Western states) recently decided that government agents can put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go – without having to get a warrant.
They say this does not violate your 4th amendment rights because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway – and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

Art has the power to open minds, touch hearts and challenge beliefs…..
Since 2004, four members of Queenscliff Rural Australians for Refugees have combined their creative talents to produce a series of poignant installations that aim to give voice to men, women and children who have fled persecution and sought our protection. The installations combine paintings, fibres, graphics, photography, sculpture and text to expose, examine and challenge Australia's response to their plight.
Over the past 15 years the Artists have directly supported many asylum seekers, both in detention and in the community. While the images and stories within the installations relate to actual people and events, names used in the installations are pseudonyms. The artists remain anonymous to further protect the privacy of their asylum seeker friends.
The installations have been viewed by thousands of people in major towns in regional Victoria. With the aid of local refugee advocacy groups, free venues were sourced, enabling the exhibitions to travel.
from January 11 – 20th 2019. See flyer and information below.
'MIRRORS OF REFLECTION' is a sensitive and uplifting exhibition, addressing a human rights issue that has led to political divide and deep community concern.
Step into a chamber of reflections, gentle music, shimmering lights and artworks and experience this thought-provoking exhibition. Combining paintings, mirrors, sculpture, fibre, graphics and text, 'Mirrors of Reflection' challenges us to reflect on our humanity towards people seeking asylum.
Created by artists from Queenscliff Rural Australians for Refugees, the exhibition is proudly hosted in Apollo Bay by sister organisation Apollo Bay RAR.
said ABRAR spokesperson Ali Corke.


The room was packed with students from PBSC's Automotive and Diesel Service Technology programs. One student received a scholarship, but all of them left with something valuable: advice from an industry pro.
Tim Calhoun, fleet director for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, presented Palm Beach State College with a check for $2,500 Monday on behalf of the Florida Association of Governmental Fleet Administrators. It was the second half of FLAGFA's $5,000 scholarship gift that represents an ongoing commitment to the College. FLAGFA provides PBSC and five other state colleges with $5,000 scholarships at regular intervals, which it plans to continue for as long as possible. The organization's goal is to promote student success as well as awareness of the excellent career paths offered in government fleet services, where there is a growing demand for technicians to repair and maintain the vehicles used by police, emergency medical services, fire departments and other government entities. As past president of FLAGFA, Calhoun presented the check on behalf its current president, Sean Williams.
The scholarship check went to Mireya Gonzalez. She graduates from the Automotive Service Technology program next month and has already accepted a position at a local auto service center.
After the check presentation, Calhoun advised the students on how to best navigate their career journeys: Be reliable, have a positive attitude, pay attention to detail, keep learning, stay physically fit and consider a fleet career if you want a clean, safe work environment, quality of life, and good health and retirement benefits.
Two graduates of PBSC's Diesel Technology program unfold the special banner given to PBSC (from left): Norris Rhoden, apparatus technician II for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, and Patrick Calhoun, senior vehicle technician for FedEx.
Pat Richie, dean of Business, Trades and Public Safety programs, was among the PBSC staff and administrators who thanked FLAGFA for its support and Calhoun for his presentation.

Godzilla vs. Megalon (Japanse titel: ゴジラ対メガロ/Gojira tai Megaro; Nederlandse titel: Godzilla contra Megalon) is een Japanse tokusatsu kaijufilm. De film kwam uit in 1973, en was de 13e Godzillafilm. De film werd geregisseerd door Jun Fukuda, met speciale effecten door Teruyoshi Nakano.

Verhaal

De film begint bij een ondergrondse beschaving genaamd Seatopia, die zwaar te lijden heeft onder nucleaire testen gedaan door de mensheid. Uit wraak en voor hun eigen bescherming laten ze hun eigen monster los: Megalon. Ze sturen tevens een aantal agenten naar de oppervlakte om Jet Jaguar, een pasgebouwde superrobot, te stelen. Ze ontvoeren ook de robots schepper, Goro Ibuki, diens jongere broer Rokuro en hun vriend Hiroshi Jinkawa.

De Seatopians gebruiken Jet Jaguar om Megalon naar Tokio te lokken. Goro kan echter ontsnappen en de controle over de robot terugkrijgen. Hij stuurt Jet Jaguar naar Monster Eiland om Godzilla op te halen. De twee vechten vervolgens samen tegen Megalon en Gigan in de heuvels net buiten Tokio. Uiteindelijk komen Godzilla en Jet Jaguar als winnaars uit de strijd, waarna Godzilla terugkeert naar Monster Eiland.

Achtergrond

Productie
Godzilla Vs. Megalon was oorspronkelijk niet gepland als een Godzillafilm, maar als een film om Jet Jaguar te introduceren. Jet Jaguar was het resultaat van een wedstrijd die Toho had georganiseerd voor kinderen eind 1972. Anime superhelden en superrobots waren toen een rage in Japan, en Toho hoopte met Jet Jaguar mee te liften op dit succes. Het winnende ontwerp werd ingestuurd door een basisschoolleerling.

Na een paar testen concludeerde Toho dat een film met enkel Jet Jaguar als de held waarschijnlijk niet aan zou slaan. Derhalve werd het filmproject een tijd stilgelegd. Bijna een maand later kregen producer Tomoyuki Tanaka en scriptschrijver Shinichi Sekizawa het script voor de film in handen, en herschreven het tot een Godzillafilm met Jet Jaguar in een bijrol. Om de verloren tijd in te halen werd de film in amper drie weken opgenomen.

Reacties
Godzilla vs. Megalon werd ook in Amerika uitgebracht in de bioscopen op 9 mei 1976. De film kreeg wisselende reacties. De New York Times filmcriticus Vincent Canby, die eerder de film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster had afgekraakt, gaf de film een positieve recensie.

Toch was niet iedereen het daarmee eens. De film wordt door veel Kaijufans en Godzillafans gezien als de voornaamste reden dat in de Verenigde Staten de oude Godzillafilms vaak af worden gedaan als "goedkope kinderfilms die niet serieus genomen moeten worden". Vooral de special effects van de film kregen het zwaar te verduren in de recensies. Tevens vonden veel critici het acteerwerk onder de maat.

Amerikaanse versie
De Amerikaanse versie van de film werd gepromoot met een poster waarin Godzilla en Megalon beide op de torens van het voormalige World Trade Center staan, ondanks dat een dergelijke scène niet voorkomt in de film; in feite is er geen enkele scene die zich in New York afspeelt.

Om een G-rating te krijgen van de MPAA verwijderde CinemaShares drie minuten aan beeldmateriaal uit de film. De verwijderde scènes werden ongeschikt geacht voor het doelpubliek van de film.

Succes
In Japan werden ongeveer 980.000 kaartjes voor de film verkocht. Daarmee was Godzilla vs. Megalon de eerste Godzilla-film waarvoor niet meer dan een miljoen kaartjes werden verkocht.

Trivia
Dit is de enige Godzillafilm zonder een vrouw als een van de menselijke hoofdpersonages.
Godzilla vs. Megalon is een van de twee Godzilla films die werd gebruikt voor een aflevering van het Mystery Science Theater 3000. De andere was Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster.

Pumpkin Butterscotch Blondies – bet you can't eat just one!
I absolutely LOVE the Fall. Football season, the changes in the weather and nature and of course, it's the perfect time to start baking again. One of my favorite Fall ingredients is pumpkin, and the team at wht seems to agree! In fact, I'm so obsessed, when the weather changed this year, I kept an eye out for when the Libby's Pumpkin Puree (it's the best one, imo) would hit the shelves, and when it finally did, I stocked up!
My favorite pumpkin recipes include breads, pies, cheesecake and cookies, but this year, I wanted to try something a little different. I remembered reading about pumpkin blondies last year, and wanted to bake some, but time just got away from me. So, when I looked through my Google Reader favorites, and saw this recipe starred, I just knew I had to make them immediately!
This recipe is very simple to throw together, and I guarantee you that if you love pumpkin, you are going to want to eat the whole pan. I baked up a batch of these for the family on a Friday night, and they were completely gone by the end of the weekend!
1) Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil.
2) In a medium bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Stir together and set aside.
3) Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and a new bowl, beat together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Then, mix in the pumpkin puree. With the mixer on low speed add the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
4) Fold in the white chocolate and 1 cup butterscotch chips with a rubber spatula.
5) Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips over the top of the batter. Bake until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, about 35-40 minutes.
6) Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting.
7) To serve, lift the cake from the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting board. Peel off the foil and using a sharp knife, cut into 24 squares.
Readers – What are your favorite recipes for the Fall? Do they involve pumpkin? Share them in the comments!

OH MY GOD – who is making these for me?! I think these will make my life complete.
Even the photo made me drool. Then I started reading. I'm in a pumpkin frenzy right now!
I am making these VERY VERY soon. pumpkin puree is so nice and easy to work with. mess free! it literally slides out of the can haha.
Whoa Nelly, perfect timing for these! So tempting looking-They are calling my name loud and clear! I was looking at the ingredients, what's not to taste good in them? A real crowd pleaser for sure! Thanks for sharing Amy!
@niftyfoodie – yum, these look so freaking good! And pretty easy to make as well. I love the butterscotch addition – perfect for the season and a great match with pumpkin.
Now, I want to try a version with my fave, caramel – any ideas readers on how to do that?
Thanks y'all for the compliments! This recipe is ridiculously addictive! Hope you love it!
Oh my goodness, I'm totally making these this weekend. I'm going to have to change up the recipe- I think I'll use fresh pumpkin and of course I'll have to make it gluten free, but the moisture from the puree should make it an easy substitution without too many adjustments.
Also, I've gotta say- Those photos are making me want to lick my screen.
Thanks for the great inspiration @niftyfoodie !
Right now my desk chair is spinning in circles with cartoon leaving-in-a-cloud-of-dust lines, as I am currently racing to the store to see if I can find caramel bits for baking.
Yum! How did I not know of their existence? I can't wait to toss them into chocolate cookies – thanks @niftyfoodie !

These are ridiculous. RIDICULOUS, I say! I don't think my tummy could handle that much awesome.
My stomach may have just grumbled a little bit when I saw this. I'm thinking I need to make these asap!
@niftyfoodie – Just wanted to say thank you for providing this awesome recipe. I made two batches for two Thanksgiving stops yesterday and they came out amazing! What a simple recipe too :)! You can see a pretty picture of them at the little link below to my site. The butterscotch is a perfect addition.

The Southwest Veterans Foundation 4th Annual Patriots Ball fundraising gala will be 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, 11111 N. 7th St. in Phoenix.
The theme will be Remembering Those Who Served.
"The theme was inspired by a song written by Phoenix singer and song-writer Ted Newman. Ted, who is also a veteran, will be an honored guest and will sing the inspirational song during the program," Tom Sheets, Patriots Ball co-chair, stated in a release.
Congresswoman Martha McSally will sing the national anthem at the event sponsored by Salt River Project.
Glendale's Uptown Angels will perform, featuring songs reminiscent of the Lennon and Andrews sisters.
"Their musical walk through history, enhanced by costumes of several eras, will help us remember the decades of veterans and patriots whose services and sacrifices will be honored throughout the evening," according to the release.
Tickets for the ball are $125 for members of the Southwest Veterans Chamber of Commerce and $150 for non-members. They can be purchased at southwestveteransfoundation.org/patriots-ball or by calling 602-677-2961.
Veteran college and trade school scholarships.
Donations to veteran advocacy groups that provide support to veterans and their families.
Support of critical veteran issues such as homelessness, reintegration and suicide prevention.
Corporate sponsorships are available. Interested organizations can obtain more information by calling co-chair Patti Pyle at 602-236-8192 or Mr. Sheets at 602-677-2961.
The SWVF also is seeking donations for its silent auction, the proceeds of which will help fund a variety of programs. Individuals or organizations that would like to donate items for the auction can contact 602-677-2961.


For example this can be useful when updating quantities in a shopping cart and you don't want the values to be updated instantly. Having a delay can give the user enough chance to enter new values or quantities in the text box before the desired action is triggered.
The above jQuery function initiates a new timer element after the page has loaded and a delay variable is defined for 0.6 seconds. Whenever a new value is entered into an input box with the class inputfield, the timer element is reset and triggered after the delay value. In the example above, it is set to submit a form with ID form1.
This is a useful idea, but doesn't the input event still trigger twice if two numbers are input, unless you unbind the input event after it fires once? That seems to be the case for me – a two digit number counts as two input events.
Also, just for future-proofing/nitpicking, probably better to use the "on" handler instead of "bind" these days, although it will obviously still work this way.
Thanks for this code. I am using it to call two different function it works fine. But second part of code is never exectuted.
I have mentioned in comment the part which doesnt work. Can you guide me what should I do?.
Note If I dont use time delay I mean the wrapper proper provided by you it does work.
Thanks mate. Got solution after proper investigation found that one of my internal function was hindering it.


We all want to live an extraordinary life. I know I do and I know there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I'm certain that longing deep inside each of our souls is part of God's fingerprints on our lives. He's the One who put that yearning deep inside each one of us – to make life count, to do significant things, to rise above pointless mediocrity.
But a lot of times we go about it all wrong. We dream about the heroic moments. The major decision. The captivating sermon. The bold new initiative. The defining conversation. While there's nothing wrong with those things and I do believe we'll each face a few of those moments in our lives, it's the wrong focus.
Most of our lives are very ordinary. Get up, spend time with God, workout, go to work, come home, put the kids to bed, pass out in exhaustion. And repeat the next day. Meetings, travel, commutes, groceries, phone calls, emails, trips to the dentist, and reports. It all stacks up and it all feels so dull. So boring. So ordinary.
But I'm convinced that the secret to an extraordinary life is being intentional in the ordinary. It's the decision not to coast through Tuesday. It's the decision to be fully present, to work as unto the Lord, to love with our whole heart and to give it all we've got. No one's going to ask you to make the heroic decision if you duck the ordinary ones. You'll never be asked to lead until you figure out how to follow. Nobody's ever said, "Hey, that guy never takes on any added responsibility, let's put him in charge of the new initiative." Extraordinary moments seem to find those who are intentional in the ordinary.
Be bold. Be courageous. Be intentional. Not tomorrow. But today. In the sea of meetings, tasks and texts. Be intentional. Move the ball forward. Do your best. Lean into the power God offers.
Don't stop reaching but do stop neglecting what's right in front of you.

Having lived in London for over five years, explored it with family and friends I've realised that I have ventured to most of the tried and true touristy spots. Recently some of my friends asked for suggestions of an area to go to, between us we have covered London a number of times over! Then I remembered my two favourite London walking tour companies, Londonwalks and Footprints of London. This was the perfect solution and we chose to walk nearby Spitafields with a guide who answered one for my friends questions about a small, local building in a churchyard he passes every day on the way to his work, we saw into a building that only opens its blinds showing off Roman ruins for 10minutes each Sunday and learnt about a secret Freemasons vault that can only be accessed by those in the know. So it you are looking to enjoy the coming summer weather outside and have a guided tour full of historic facts, stories of adventures and interesting tidbits, here are the two London walking tour companies I recommend.
London Walks. Started sometime before the 1970's, running the same timetable every week, these tours are £10 per person (£8 concession) and have the most varied guides including professors, art historians, former cult models, actors, street art connoisseurs and swordsman. My favourite walk with them has been the Jack the Ripper tour with Donald Rumbelow, one of the top crime historians in Britain. I walked away very clear on who did these murders based on the current evidence! Other walks I would recommend are Secret London and Old Hampstead Village. Running rain or shine, there are no bookings required and each tour starts at an easy to find location near a local underground tube stop. Find your guide and you are off and away!
Footprints of London. Established in 2011 and operating with a booking system these group also have a great number of guides and a varied timetable to the previous group. Priced at £12 (£9 for concession) they are just as affordable and by booking this takes away any nerves first time walkers might have having a contact number and guarantee you won't be left behind. My favourite walks have been, Whitechapel – The Charles Booth Poverty Maps, James Bond and The Spies of Mayfair and lastly Soho and all that Jazz!
Having experienced great tours in my home town I now ensure I get guided tours when I am travelling to other cities. Not only do these guides bring stories to life they often have deals with local buildings for access you wouldn't normally be allows plus they always know of the best local restaurants to eat at!

White House aides are reportedly scrambling to unmask 'gutless' senior official who wrote the blistering NYT op-ed
David Choi

Donald Trump/Twitter
Following the publication of a scathing op-ed from an anonymous senior Trump administration official, The New York Times refused to disclose any identifiable information about its source.
White House aides have reportedly launched their own witch hunt for the senior official, with some resorting to contacting reporters to find out who knows what.
Speculation over the author's identity was not limited to the White House — much of Washington was buzzing with rumors and speculation.
White House aides have reportedly launched their own witch hunt for an anonymous senior Trump administration official who wrote a scathing New York Times op-ed about President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, the anonymous official within the Trump administration upended political norms with the opinion article titled, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." In it, the author criticizes Trump's moral compass and claimed that members of the administration were working to "frustrate parts of [Trump's] agenda and his worst inclinations."
After the column was published on Wednesday, senior officials reportedly canceled afternoon meetings to brainstorm ways to identify the whistleblower, and some resorted to contacting reporters to find out who knows what, according to White House officials cited in a Wall Street Journal report.
But the speculation over the author's identity was not limited to the White House — much of Washington was also buzzing with rumors and speculation.
A single mention of the word "lodestar" in the op-ed prompted theories that the senior official in question was Vice President Mike Pence, who used the term in previous speeches.
But other people downplayed the significance, as evidenced by one White House official who previously told Axios that they "usually pay attention to other staffers' idioms" and use their language when talking to reporters on background so the comments can't be traced back to them.
The anonymous "senior" official's title and their experience working "in the Trump administration" allows for a wide range of people to scrutinize.
Anonymous officials who have been quoted in previous news reports have often been identified as "a senior White House official," which narrows the scope to people working specifically for the White House — instead of the broad number of agencies within the Trump administration, such as the Department of Education.
The Times has not revealed who the author is, and refused to disclose any identifiable information, including the person's gender. According to The Times' op-ed page editor Jim Dao, the source contacted him through "an intermediary" several days ago, CNN Money reported on Wednesday.
A "very small number of people within the Times who know this person's identity," Dao reportedly said, adding that the company had spoken with the senior official directly.
Trump lambasted The Times and the op-ed's author, whom he described as someone "who's failing and probably here for all the wrong reasons," during a speech at the White House on Wednesday.
"Now, and The New York Times is failing," Trump said. "If I weren't here, I'd believe The New York Times probably wouldn't even exist. And someday, when I'm not president ... The New York Times and CNN and all of these phony media outlets will be out of business, folks."
"So if the failing New York Times has an anonymous editorial, can you believe it," Trump added. "Anonymous, meaning gutless. A gutless editorial."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders echoed Trump's remarks in an official statement, saying voters in 2016 did not choose a "gutless, anonymous source to the failing New York Times."
"We are disappointed, but not surprised, that the paper chose to publish this pathetic, reckless, and selfish op-ed," Sanders said.

This is a warning that the work discussed below and in the video depicts the human body in its most natural form.
This spring 6th graders studied the work of Kara Walker when we discussed about silhouettes. She is an African American artist that explores the ideas of race and gender by creating large scale landscapes of black paper cuts out. Her new work at The Domino Sugar Factory focuses on worker's rights and the history of the production of sugar. The sugar factory is scheduled to be demolished and rebuilt as high end housing in the next year. Walker, who lives in New York City and is a professor at Columbia University, has filled the sugar factory with huge sculptures partially made of sugar. I think its something you have to see to believe and hope you all get a chance to check it out.
It is free and open Fridays 4-8pm and Saturdays 12-6pm at The Domino Sugar Factory in Wiliamsburg, Brooklyn.

I am obsessed with water Yes, clean, abundant water. After three years living on and off in Oaxaca, Mexico, I have lots of water stories. Oaxaca,Oaxaca is a city of scarce water.
I seem to be attracted to dry places. Now I am in the desert of Far West Texas, It is June and we are waiting for the rains. If all goes well, the rains will begin soon. They have already begun in Oaxaca.
Sadly, for Alfonsina Storni, the boulders of breast cancer and solitude were just too big. At 1:00 am on October 25, 1938, she left her room and walked down to the sea.Legend has it she just kept walking into the sea until she drowned. Her body was discovered later that day.
Here is a link to "Alfonsina y el Mar," a hauntingly lovely song in memory of Storni. Composed by Ariel Ramírez and Félix Luna, it is sung here by Mercedes Sosa.
I read "Running Water" to the deer this morning. With poetry, you have to find your audience wherever you can. They were not impressed. They ran away.

The Western Security Council condemns Belarus
The United States and five European countries in the UN Security Council condemn Belarus' actions in the migrant crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
More than 2,000 migrants are stranded in Belarus on the border with Poland.
Several EU countries openly accuse Lukashenko of flying people from the Middle East, among others, to enter the EU, and Poland accuses Belarus of "state terrorism".
The five European countries from the UN Security Council write in a joint statement that the regime of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has become a threat to regional stability.
The countries call on Belarus to "stop these inhumane acts and not endanger people's lives".
Estonia, France and Ireland on Wednesday summoned the 15 member states to a meeting behind closed doors.
The countries have not agreed on a joint statement, instead the three countries, together with Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States, condemn "the orchestrated use of people whose lives and well-being are endangered by Belarus' political motives".
Requires international response
The countries write that Belarus's goal is to increase instability in neighboring countries and at the EU border in order to shift the focus from the country's own violations of human rights.
"The tactics are unacceptable and require a strong international response and cooperation to hold Belarus accountable," they wrote.
The statement does not mention Russia, the only European country in the Security Council that is not behind the condemnation and before the meeting opposed all accusations that the country is cooperating with Belarus to send migrants to the Polish border.
"We have our commitment"
Russia's UN envoy Dmitry Polyansky denies that Russia and Belarus jointly send migrants to the Polish border, saying that the Russian bombers that flew over Belarus on Thursday were only a response to "a massive" escalation on the part of Poland.
- We have our commitment to Belarus.
So if military resources are concentrated at the border, we must react.
It's just about surveillance flights, nothing else, he says.
Earlier this week, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being behind the crisis.

The role of mesopredators in ecosystems: Potential effects of managing their populations on ecosystem processes and biodiversity
Tambling, C.J., Avenant, C., Drouilly, N., Melville, H.I.A.S.
Kerley, G.I.H., Wilson, S.L., Balfour, D. (Eds) 2018. Livestock Predation and its Management in South Africa:

Predators have considerable impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, with many recent studies highlighting their strong top-down effects that influence ecosystem structure and function. The majority of these insights come from studies on a handful of large charismatic predators (i.e. lions Panthera leo: referred to as apex predators when these large predators dominate the food chain) (Roemer, Gompper & Valkengurgh, 2009; Ripple et al., 2014). The removal of these apex predators has a disproportionately disruptive influence on ecosystem structure and function (Ripple et al., 2014). However, most predators are neither large nor charismatic and consequently have received relatively little research attention compared with the small group of apex predators upon which much research time and funding are focused (Roemer et al., 2009). These small- to medium-sized predators, collectively called mesopredators (Prugh et al., 2009), are often capable of living close to humans and can attain population densities considerably greater than that of apex predators (DeLong & Vasseur, 2012). Through their combined influence, mesopredators have the capacity to influence ecosystems (Roemer et al., 2009; Williams et al., 2017). Despite this, we know very little about their ecological roles and how fluctuations in their abundance influence biodiversity.

While rankings can sometimes be useful in assessing potential partners, they can also be dangerous and misleading. Differences in institutional mission, student audience, and relationship to local and national development have created a wide range of valuable, effective, and excellent institutions in Japan and the United States. Many ranking systems ignore this, choosing one or two criteria for their ratings, usually research output and the academic achievements of incoming students. As Mayumi Ishikawa (2009) points out, such rankings establish a single model of academic excellence, when a multi-faceted model is more appropriate. Such rankings mask the many forms of excellence that exist, and they can blind colleges and universities to some of the most appropriate potential partners.
Strategic partnership strategies include criteria for evaluating potential new partnerships, as well as procedures for deciding which to pursue. There is much variation from institution to institution on these matters. Before signing any agreements, many U.S. institutions now engage in lengthy internal deliberations involving faculty, departments, the international office, legal counsel, the chief financial officer, and the upper administration. A central element of early discussions with possible partners should include describing what criteria and procedures operate at each institution.


Czechs have long been weary of exchange offices, some of which surprise clients by unrealistic exchange rates, or high exchange payment charges. For unsuspecting tourists new to the country, they can be a very sour welcome.
To tackle this problem, a new amendment to the Foreign Exchange Act was passed by Parliament in December, which went into effect on Monday.
Czech National Bank spokeswoman Markéta Fišerová explained to Czech Radio how customers will benefit.
According to Mrs. Fišerová, the Czech National Bank annually faces 250–300 complaints about exchange bureau practices. She says that this is just the tip of the iceberg, as many of the clients are tourists who never submit a complaint.
If exchange offices refuse to comply with the client invoking his rights, the latter is advised to remind them they are breaking the law. If the client is still ignored, he can secure documentation, either in the form of photographs, witnesses or the payslip and subsequently contact the Czech National Bank.
Asked about whether the move will lead to the end of bad exchange rates, Mrs. Fišerová was unwilling to speculate, but admitted it could hurt extortionate exchange offices.
When it comes to the right to cancel, clients should be aware that it can only be invoked for exchanges of up to EUR 1000. The subsequent reimbursement by the exchange office must be paid according to the rate declared by the National Bank the previous day.
Not all see the new legislation as beneficial. The Association of Exchange Offices has voiced reservations to the new law in the past and the Deputy Executive Director of the Czech Banking Association Filip Hanzlik said in October that the regulation could lead to the end of bank exchange offices.
