Friday December 18, 2009 at 9 am we all meet up and head out on a relaxing, relatively short ride. The riders include John R. on his no-windshield Roadliner, Luis & Minita V. on the red V-Star 1300, Charlie on the Stratoliner and Carol on her V-Star 1100, Scott on the big goldwing, Jim R. on a Royal Star 1300 Tour, Johney on his Road Star, Chuck on his back-in-action V-Star 1300, and me on the white Road Star. Stan showed his support by showing up but had to work instead. Click the picture to read the text.
Our route starts out in Orange and on to the 57 Fwy north to the 91 east then to the 15 Freeway south, exiting at Central Ave/Rte 74 in Lake Elsinore. The 74 is also known as the Ortega Highway and a favorite fast ride for other members like Pete Black and Jim Mc Clain as well.
I gave Charlie our leader, a bad call on direction after checking with Scott (thanks), and after a quick U-Turn got headed back to the 74 west. Never tell Charlie how to go especially when he has a map.
We start up the hill and into the twisting curvy part right away and all goes quite well with a good pace, not too fast but not too slow either. I'm sure some would have cranked it up a bit if they had a chance but we all kept a good pace. There was a lot of construction on Ortega over the past two years, but most of it is completed and it is a nicer road for sure. Google Earth pictures are taken while some of the construction was still going on.
This is at the first lookout just past a Food Shack on the way up-looking back toward Elsinore.
Lots of curves, both up and down hill.
We came to Antonio Parkway and based on my recommendation we headed for Corky's Cafe in Ladera Ranch for food. Great place to stop for sure, reasonable prices and BIG servings.
We finished lunch/breakfast and headed out in several directions. Luis & Minita headed up Santiago Canyon with me to go to La Palma Ave. and see about a wheel problem. Others went to PCH and up the coast. About 110 miles all together and back home at 1:15pm.

Home Finance Finance Company Owner Tells Black Youth How to Obtain Wealth
Finance Company Owner Tells Black Youth How to Obtain Wealth
Financial Consultant Frenise Mann presented sessions on Financial Literacy/Money Management to Camp REACH students and parents.
By Pierre Kelly, age 14, STEM School Chattanooga
Determine a goal for investing money. Then begin investing, said Frenise Mann, owner of Mann Financial Consulting. No starting amount is too small.
"Don't think you have to have $1000s to start a type of an account.You can start with $10," she said. "The more that you put in every month, the more you're building wealth."
She spoke this week to more than 40 teens in camp REACH at Hope City Church. The camp promotes literacy using the Lexia reading program and pays students a stipend of up to $150 a week while exposing them to careers in journalism, painting and logistics.
Lurone "Coach" Jennings, executive director of the Mary Walker Foundation which sponsors the camp, said he wants students to learn how to build generational wealth.
Mann has first-hand knowledge of wealth building skills and seeks to share her knowledge with others.
She and her husband, Carlos, were swamped with debt when they married more than 20 years ago. But by following the advice of author and financial guru Dave Ramsey, the two were debt free in six years.
"I know what it means to be without and what it means to have," said Mann. "I want to teach others, especially in our culture that we can build wealth."
Pierre Kelly, student at STEM School Chattanooga.
African Americans come from a slavery background that puts them 200 years behind in the generational gap between blacks and whites. But now blacks have the opportunity to obtain knowledge and wealth like anybody else, she said.
Her latest lesson at Camp REACH showed students how to invest in the stock market.
She awarded candy to teens who correctly answered questions, brightening the mood and making students want to engage more. She taught by asking questions. She first asked about interest rates. Then she explained how interest rates can be used against a student when he owes money, but how compound interest can work for him when he invests.
One teen at the REACH camp after the lecture said, "The finance stuff was very informative and it's helpful but I feel like at our age we are not going to remember it unless we ask our parents or experience it later in life."
Mann explained that real estate and investing is a passive means of earning money which means that students can earn money without working eight hours like a job. Students who consistently invest money every month can gain wealth through the effects of compound interest by the time they retire.
Then she listed the steps to open a broker's account, a custodial account or college fund.
She suggested students go with a custodial company. Mann's company uses the financial services company, Charles Schwab. She said Fidelity and Vanguard are also good.
Next, determine a goal for investing. The goal may be long-term like saving for college or short-term like purchasing a car when you turn 16, she said.
Then decide how much to invest.
"You can start with $50 or you can start with $25 or you can start with $10, but start," she said.
Automatically set your brokerage account to take money out of your savings on a monthly basis. Then select a mutual fund or an index fund.
A mutual fund is investing in several stocks. That's why it's called mutual, she said.
So a mutual fund means it can have companies like Amazon, Apple and Tesla in one group and buying a share of it means buying a little piece of each company versus buying into just one.
When buying stock in only one company, if that company fails, then all money is lost. But if an investor takes that same money and invests in 20 companies, even if one fails, all the money isn't lost because the investor still has 19 other companies.
But if a student wants to invest in one single stock, he or she can do that, said Mann.
Her final advice was to set it and forget it. She told students to set up an automatic withdrawal from their income to invest and allow their wealth to accumulate.
"Once you set it up," she said, "don't spend it until your goal is met."

But these factory-coated pipes are often transported thousands of kilometres from the factory to their eventual installation site, which involves being loaded and unloaded up to 40 times. During transport and on the construction site, the machinery that these pipes come into contact with causes serious damage to the factory-applied coating, which can result in corrosion on the pipes. These defects can be quickly and permanently repaired using LIQUITOL® and DEKOTEC® repair systems. The damaged pipes no longer need to be replaced – which saves a great deal of time and money.
The two-component polyurethane coating LIQUITOL®-FK2 C is simply applied with a spatula or brush directly to the metallic blank surface and the activated factory-applied coating, without the need for a primer. This application process makes LIQUITOL®-FK2 C a significantly faster solution than conventional repair systems.


Story: Wile E. Coyote is the ever-present predator and evil genius that tries to catch his prey with assorted ACME inventions. Due to reality and especially gravity working against him, he has yet to succeed in catching anything.
Background notes: Despite being a villain with no actual redeeming qualities, Wile E. Coyote is one of the most famous and loved characters of the Looney Tunes. Something in his confidence going into an enterprise, his amazing plans and ACME equipment, and the way all his plans backfire on him appeals to us. No cartoon character can be blown up, run over, burned to a crisp, or fall of a cliff with as much charm and hilarity as Wile E. Coyote. Especially the expression on his face just before disaster hits and he realizes he's in trouble, is priceless. The cartoons are usually referred to as Road Runner cartoons, but the actual star is Wile E. Coyote as the focus in the story is his preparations, execution and miserable failure of plans to catch the Road Runner, Bugs Bunny or the sheep Sam Sheepdog is guarding.
Wile E. Coyote's first appearance was as the predator in the Road Runner cartoon Fast And Furry-Ous from 1949. Like the Road Runner he had no name and did not speak, it was a simple chase involving as many gags as possible. A running gag in the cartoons was the strange things he got from the mail-order company ACME (ACME is an acronym for A Company Making Everything and at the same time a pun on acme i.e. the highest point of achievement or development). With the help of things like portable holes and jet-propelled skates he would try to catch the Road Runner (or Bugs Bunny) only to be defeated by reality doing strange things or gravity kicking in when he was high up in the air. The cartoons did not really have a beginning, middle and end. The cartoon would start with an attempt to catch the Road Runner going wrong, the end would be an attempt to catch the Road Runner going wrong and in between there would be more attempts to catch the Road Runner going wrong.
Catching Road Runner was only one of the three types of cartoons he was in. The second type, which was also his second appearance, was opposite Bugs Bunny in Operation Rabbit from 1952. Like the Road Runner cartoons the story was a chase involving gags, but Bugs being a vastly different character combined with Wile E. Coyote having a name and voice (by Mel Blanc) gave a different type of gags. He was still being blown up, run over by trucks, dropped from high places etc. the stories just had a Bugs Bunny feel to them like having a beginning, middle and end.
The third type was the role as Ralph Wolf, opposite the laconic but unbeatable Sam Sheepdog starting with Don't Give Up the Sheep in 1953. The cartoons were very different from the two other types. Not because of the change in name and scenery or because he was given a red nose instead of his normal black nose (The color was changed back to black on the merchandise). Here his chase was a regular job, contrary to his chase of the Road Runner, which was more like an obsession. The cartoon would end with him and Sam stopping what they were doing, punch a time clock, and go home for the day.
The coyote made four appearances opposite Bugs, and a seven as Ralph Wolf until 1963 when Chuck Jones left Warner Bros. The cartoons with Road Runner continued until 1966, produced by David DePatie and Friz Freleng, after which the cartoons were shown again and again in various anthologies like The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour and The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show. After 50+ years the cartoons are still going strong.
Despite his popularity, only very little has been made with Wile E. Coyote since 1966. Chuck Jones made Chariots of Fur in 1994, he made a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit from 1988, and appeared with the rest of the Looney Tunes crew in Space Jam from 1996 and Looney Tunes Back in Action from 2003. He also appeared in an episode of Tiny Toon Adventure, and in January 2004, he appeared along with Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and an animated version of the AFLAC duck in a in an commercial for the insurance company AFLAC.
Wile E. Coyote had his own series with the Road Runner. The first series started out as three issues of Four Color after which the series continued with #4 as Beep Beep, The Road Runner from Dell. The series ran 14 issues, including the Four Color issues, from 1958 to 1962. The second and third series were also called Beep Beep, The Road Runner. Gold Key published issues 1 thru 88 from 1966 to 1980 and Whitman published issues 89 thru 105 from 1980 to 1983. The coyote returned to comics along with Bugs, Road Runner and the rest of the Looney Tunes cast when DC Comics started their Looney Tunes imprint in 1994.
With the set-up for Wile E. and the Road Runner, the transformation to computer games was obvious. The games goes back as far as the eighties with Beep Beep from 1987 for Atari computers, and the games appear for a vide variety of platforms like Road Runner's Death Valley Rally for the SNES platform (SunSoft 1992), Desert Demolition was for the Genesis platform (Sega 1995) and Looney Tunes: Space Race (Infogrames 2000) for PS2 and Sega Dreamcast. Computer games weren't the only games in which Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner appeared though. A board game called Road Runner Game was made by Whitman in 1969.
Like a lot of other popular Looney Toons characters a ton of merchandise has been made. The coyote has appeared on almost anything, t-shirts, PEZ dispensers, coffee mugs, ties. Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are some of the few characters to appear on stamps.

CENTENE: THE REAL AGENDA – WHAT TO EXPECT
The focus of the first article in this series was on Centene's current – and anticipated – role within NHS England's Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) programme. While brief mention was made of the corporation's background, this article will examine it more fully, notably as the market leader within US Medicaid Managed Care (MMC), the private sector administration of state services for the poor, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities. It also provides care for 1 in every 3 children. Given the increasingly evident parallels between ICSs and MMC, it is worth looking at what the English public can […]

SIMON STEVENS – THE LONG VIEW
The news that Sir Simon Stevens was standing down from his post as NHS England Chief Executive in July prompted some remarkable tributes from the Health Service Journal (HSJ), even by own standards. The editorial said that Stevens had managed to save the health service on no less than three occasions and has been the most important figure in NHS history since Aneurin Bevan. It also said that Stevens was "the greatest strategic health policy thinker of his generation", and in this point at least the journal is accurate. STRATEGIC THINKING Back in May 2004 the Guardian's John Carvel asked […]

CENTENE: THE REAL AGENDA
The recent buyout of a chain of London GP practices by the giant US insurer, Centene, prompted considerable media coverage last month with many Labour MPs and campaigning groups claiming the deal represented 'privatization by stealth'. However, while this description may have been apt in 2005 it is now entirely outmoded as there is nothing covert nor slow about the process anymore. Instead, what is taking place – and has been for many years – is a full-blown, US-led takeover, by the same corporate interests, adopting the same instruments and organizational structures and effected by the deployment of key personnel […]

DEVELOPING NARRATIVES
As the NHS passes its 70th birthday the recent report from the Health and Social Care Committee on Integrated Care could find little wrong with the direction of travel within the health service. While critics might cavil about the threat of further privatization, the Committee argued instead that the service was entering a new phase of collaboration rather than competition. Notions about the Americanization of the NHS were misplaced, due in part to the terminology surrounding Accountable Care Organizations, while the somewhat less than transparent introduction to this new phase had added to the confusion. Such problems could however be remedied by a "clear and compelling […]

The truth about Sustainability and Transformation Plans:
How Simon Stevens imposed a reorganisation designed for transnational capitalism on England's NHS. Recently shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said his first job in government would be to launch an independent review of every single Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) and to halt service closures. He said plans for service changes had "been decided behind closed doors, with no genuine involvement of local people." In response Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said, 'These local plans are developed by local doctors and communities, backed by the top doctors and nurses of the NHS." Both can't be right, and indeed casting the net […]

Live Phone Answering Service: Does My Business Need a Virtual Receptionist?
Admit it, no one enjoys leaving messages on a voicemail machine. Don't even mention how tedious it is to sit through minute after minute of recordings, sorting out which few matter for your business. If you can't stand it, imagine how your customers feel when they get sent to your machine? Luckily, there is an easy and affordable alternative that could take messages for you—a live phone answering service. There has always been a struggle between removing human error vs. keeping the 'human touch' when it comes to communications technology. A live call answering service gives the best of both worlds, reducing your overhead costs while maintaining service quality. To find out if a virtual receptionist is what your business needs, ask yourself the following questions.
Does answering the phone take up most of your work day?
How many times a week do you need to put in extra hours in the office or stay up late at home, just to catch up with work? Studies show that calls are the biggest distraction from work. Calls can eat up as much as 31% of your work day. Though this may be the case, hiring an in-house receptionist may not be a financially viable option for startups and small businesses. An affordable alternative is a live phone answering service that forwards your calls to an Australian-based, professional operator who will answer in your business name and take messages for you. A good phone answering service for small business can help you focus on profit yielding tasks without missing urgent calls and losing sales leads.
Does the rate of abandoned calls shoot up when your voicemail is on?
Rebuilding customer trust is a hard task for any business. When a client needs prompt assistance, the last thing you would want to do is send them straight to voicemail. Around 75% of callers who get the machine hang up and never call back. Don't do your competition any favors and opt for an answering service instead. A phone answering service forwards messages to you immediately via SMS and email, so it's easy for you to get back to a caller while the lead is still hot. You can also opt for a team messaging service that takes and sends messages to a particular department so you can be sure that a live person will be able to attend to the customer at the soonest possible time.
Are you tired of inaccurate or incomplete messages?
Voicemail leaves you at the mercy your machine. If the caller's line isn't clear or drops off, you won't be able to understand the message at all. Multi-tasking staff are often too distracted to notice errors while taking down messages for you. With a specially trained live operator whose sole job is to take calls, you can be sure that your messages will be taken accurately. Industries that deal with sensitive information such as the medical or legal field can rest assured that their messages aren't left on their desks for anyone to read. Clients will be more at ease to leave a message to a live person rather than a machine in these situations. Messages to your virtual answering service are sent to you via SMS, email, and web portal.
Do you have business continuity measures in place?
Weather changes, power outages, faulty equipment, and other service disruptions are unavoidable. What's important is to have a business continuity plan in place. Telephone answering services serve as a low cost back-up plan. By routing calls to your service, your customers will still be able to talk to a real person even when your office is having issues. People fall sick, go on holiday, or suddenly quit from work. With a virtual reception service, you never have to worry about looking for people to fill in when this happens. You can rely on your virtual receptionist 24/7. Phones ringing off the hook is a sign of a thriving business, but spending a majority of your day fielding calls can bring down your productivity. If you're ready to simplify the way you work with the help of a live phone answering service, give us a call at 1 300 ALLTEL or visit us at www.alltel.com.au.

Barnett is expected to resume is MMA career when he meets Daniel Cormier in the finals of Strikeforce's HWGP. The controversial 265-pounder easily submitted Sergei Kharitonov this past September to advance to the tournament's championship round.
For those of you wondering why Barnett is allowed to be a pro wrestler and Brock Lensar isn't, it is believed Barnett is still working off his original Strikeforce contract which allows him to dabble in fake fighting. Or, his feud with UFC president Dana White is as strong as ever and White couldn't care less about what Barnett does because he won't be transitioning to the UFC anyways.
HDNet will broadcast Dream's event live in North America beginning at 1AM ET/10PM PT.

A Chemical Peel By The Ordinary Burned This Woman's Face – Here's How To Prevent It Happening To You
How To Catch A Funnel Web Spider
What Does The Average Australian Earn In A Week?
Aug 7, 2018, 12:30pm
In our offices, there are often hushed conversations. "How much is she earning?" or "There's no way he deserves the money we reckon he's on". And while executive salaries, which are often exorbitant, get a lot of attention many of us wonder whether we're getting paid fairly for the work we do.
Determining that can be tricky. Then there's the question of whether you're being paid "enough" - whatever that means for you. So, what do most Australians earn?
The National View
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' most recent data the median weekly pay-packet for full-time employees was $1261. There was a disparity, sadly but not unsurprisingly, with men collecting $1342 from the paymaster each week compared to $1187 for women. However, women have been catching up over recent years with salaries for men not recording any growth for two of the last three years while women's pay-packets have increased each year.
Men get paid slightly more per hour in full-time roles while women fare better in part-time gigs.
When you break this down state by state (or territory) and look at average salaries as well as medians, we see the following.
Median Weekly salary
Average Weekly salary
Sydney $1310 $1641
Melbourne $1280 $1574
Brisbane $1308 $1584
Adelaide $1200 $1512
Perth $1400 $1821
Darwin $1380 $1807
Canberra $1500 $1835
Hobart $1199 $1426
In other words, the average salary is substantially higher than the median.
A Quick Explainer On Medians And Averages
Determining the average salary of all full-time people is calculated by adding all the salaries and dividing by the number of people. The median is the middle value in a range of salaries.
For example, let's say we have a group of nine employees with salaries of $91,000, $84,000, $56,000, $90,000, $70,000, $65,000, $90,000, $92,000, and $30,000.
If we add all those and divide by nine (the number of people) we get an average of $74000.
If we arrange those numbers in ascending order, the value in the middle, or the median, is $84000.
The average has been dragged down substantially by the lower salary in the group.
So, when we look at data coming from the ABS or other places, it's a good idea to know the different terms being used.
While politicians often use average salaries as a way of justifying decisions around policies such as tax cuts the reality is, they aren't necessarily the best indicator of what people are actually earning. In every major city (the ABS also has data that looks statewide and not just at the major capitals) the data reveals the same pattern - average salaries are substantially higher than medians.
That means there are more people earning less that the average. Just as in the example I used to illustrate the difference between an average and a median, where the "outrider" value of $30000 pulled the average down, the same can happen when there are more high income earners than low income earners.
This is what we see with the salary data coming from the ABS. With the median values substantially lower than the average, there's a high number of people earning low incomes, thus pulling the median down, while there are fewer high income earners, but who are earning extremely high salaries dragging the average up.
The data suggests that most Australians are earning salaries that fall between the average and the medians in their respective cities or states. If you're earning the average salary or more based on where you live then you're getting paid more than most people. But if you're closer to the median, then you're in a large short of earners but you're pay packet is lighter than the average.

I'm curious whether this is gross or net?
Anthony Caruana @anthonycaruana
My understanding is ABS numbness are all gross
Thanks for that. Tax makes a huge impact on salaries around the figures they're talking so that's interesting.

Tax on $1300/wk is 18% (about $234).
I get slightly different figures, approximately $260 @ $1300 per week and $390 @ $1700 per week. But that's not really at issue. In either case you don't think that's huge? It is if you're living on it. For a single person $230-260 a week is probably your groceries, water bill, rates and electricity all covered.

There are tax tables put out by the ATO which are accurate to the dollar. For $1300 it is $287 (take home $1013) and for $1700 it is $425 (take home $1275) $262 more in your pocket after a $400 pay rise, roughly $13500 per year extra in your take home.

I used the tax figures from the ATO site to calculate the figures I used (final figures are rounded slightly for convenience). I find it really interesting that there are three of us talking three different sets of figures 0_o
I do know the ones I attached match my pay perfectly so I know them to be accurate.
@juststu82: Maybe, maybe not. I know my employer used to take out slightly more than the actual rate. It meant at the end of the year (even with no deductions) I'd always get a small tax return.
Although, if that were the case in your example the figures should be even higher. So who knows 0_o
Jul 13, 2018, 11:42pm
I used paycalculator.com.au.
My calculation included superannuation in it, which is why it is different.
Regardless, in what context are we considering that "a lot" ? For that you get to live in one of the safest countries on the planet, with one of the highest standards of living, supported by some of the best public services and social security (despite the ongoing attempts of the Coalition to destroy them).
There are not many places in the world where you pay less tax than Australia, and even fewer you'd probably want to live in at the same relative income level.
So you're proposing tax be reduced by how much ? So it's only 15% of the total ? 10% ? 5% ? 0 ?
No one was proposing that tax be reduced at all. I'm not sure where you got that from. All we're talking about was what the base figures were, with or without tax because it makes a difference. Personally, if I look at the averages in the article if it's before tax then I'm above the average, if it's after tax then I'm below. (Which actually indicates I'm really close to the average).
And I've already explained why it's a lot. $250 a week actually pays a lot of regular bills.
mattyheals @mattyheals
Do they also include super?

"you're in a large short of earners" What does this mean?

Disney, Netflix, Meta and other corporations say they'll fund employee travel for abortions
The announcements come after the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Author: Lucille Lannigan
Published: 3:24 PM EDT June 24, 2022
Updated: 3:24 PM EDT June 24, 2022
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade Friday, and corporations like The Walt Disney Co. are telling employees they will cover travel costs for individuals seeking abortions.
Disney said Friday it would cover the cost of travel for "family planning" and "pregnancy-related decisions" for any employee who cannot access care in their resident state, The Washington Post reported.
The company told The Post that it recognized the impact of the ruling and would remain committed to providing access to quality and affordable care for all employees and their families, regardless of where they reside.
Disney isn't the only corporation making adjustments in employee benefits following the SCOTUS decision. So, what other companies are making adjustments as a result?
Netflix, Paramount, Comcast, Sony, Warner Bros and Meta are a few among other media companies that confirmed they will cover travel costs for abortion-seeking employees.
DICK'S Sporting Goods said Friday it will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to employees who live in states restricting access to abortion.
DICK'S President and CEO Lauren Hobart made the announcement on Linkedin.
"We at DICK'S Sporting Goods are prepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live," Hobart wrote on Linkedin. "We recognize people feel passionately about this topic -- and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision. However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration."
Other companies, like Levi Strauss and Co. and Amazon, vowed to protect abortion rights for their employees in May when the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked.
Levi Strauss and Co. released a statement on their site.
"Access to reproductive health care, including abortion, has been a critical factor to the workplace gains and contributions women have made over the past 50 years," the statement read. "Further restricting or criminalizing access will jeopardize that progress and disproportionately affect women of color, putting their well-being at risk and impeding diverse hiring pipelines."
Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade; states can ban abortion
No, abortion isn't illegal in all states now that Roe v. Wade is overturned

Marietta changes policy for school sporting events
Thursday, September 1st 2022, 6:31 PM CDT
By Alexander Porter
MARIETTA, Okla. (KTEN) — Marietta Public Schools has changed its policy for younger students who attend school sporting events.
"Students in the eighth grade and below won't be able to attend games unless they are accompanied by a parent or responsible adult," the district announced in a statement issued last Friday.
Superintendent Brandi Naylor said the policy shift aims to reduce safety issues the school district has experienced with younger students in past years.
"[We've had] everything from kids running up and down the stands to fighting and vandalism," Naylor said. "There are just so many different things. So we decided to look at a change in policy to address those needs."
School personnel will be at the entrance of all sporting events to make sure that all younger fans entering are supervised by an adult.
As for students who are dropped off; the district has a plan.
"We'll call the parent ourselves," Naylor said. "We'll look up the phone numbers and we'll call the parent and get them to come back and pick up the child."
Naylor also told KTEN News that there haven't been any issues with the policy change so far. In fact, other area school districts have expressed interest in implementing a similar policy.
"The changes are a result of the school district's desire to provide the safest and least disruptive environment for all spectators to enjoy the game, while also complying with OSSAA guidelines," district said.

March 2007 – the month that keeps on giving.
That was MBC's very first month, and it seems now that several of our first story topics were interesting choices. Some have taken 2-3 years or more to flesh out.
Here's another installment of a long, long story arc begun in MBC's early days.
Today we're talking about 521 MBB, a little duplex just a few doors up from Ardmore on MBB.
Perhaps you've been the third or fourth car stuck at the light at Ardmore once or twice, and glanced over to the right to see it.
521 MBB was purchased, no doubt as an investment, in August 2006 for $1.495m.
It drew MBC's surprised attention when, just 6 months later, the same home was marked up to $1.895m, enough to net the flipper/owners $300k for a very short hold. (See "I waited 6 months, now give me $300k" – hence the title of today's entry.)
That tidy $300k in flipper cash did not materialize. Not even during that epic, final rally of the local bubble in Spring 2007.
MBC returned to the story when the listing returned to market 18 months later, in Nov. 2008. The listing was then claiming that the seller "is now motivated," but with the price at $1.625m – $55k higher than the last (failed) listing had dropped to, once upon a time. (See "Now Motivated.")
But now, all talk of markups is long gone.
521 MBB is just another MB short sale.
The duplex is up now at $980k, a fairly dramatic drop of -$515k/-34% from the Aug. 2006 acquisition price.
What we knew all along was that the owners had paid too much at that particular peak in Summer 2006. But 34% too much? What do you think people would have said if MBC had called things that bearishly in our first month online?
Looks like we've got one installment left in this saga – when they finally close it out.


On Sat 1 July there will be a conversation with Letlapa Mphahlele, former South African liberation army commander, and protagonist in the award-winning film Beyond Forgiving, a powerful documentary about tragedy, reconciliation and hope in post-apartheid South Africa. There will be a screening of an excerpt of the flm during the course of the afternoon.
Produced by Initiatives of Change www.uk.iofc.org, Beyond Forgiving is a documentary film which depicts the journey of two South Africans to bring healing and reconciliation to their country. Ginn Fourie and Letlapa Mphahlele form an unlikely pair: a black atheist man and a white Christian woman. One has suffered directly from actions of the other, but both have been victims — and risen beyond their pain. What brings them together is a pro- found story of tragedy and hope.


Last week I took a bit of a stay-cation in London to check out the latest hotel offering over in South Kensington. The Exhibitionist is brand new to London, having just opened doors last November. It's no Holiday Inn, but it's also no Claridge's. In fact, The Exhibitionist feels less like a hotel and more like living in an art installation. From the moment you walk in the front door you feel as if you've walked into a special show at the Tate Modern. Bright lights, imposing sculptures and Beetlejuice like decor greet you before you meet the lift, which will whisk you away to your room for the evening. I say "meet" because you will never in your life expect to be met with the elevator that greets you. Of course, I quickly began to feel it would be totally out of character for the hotel to turn any corner and not have your socks knocked off. The Exhibitionist's hotel lift is a garden, of sorts. I'm told they wanted to make their life more entertaining, as it's an old and very slow way to travel, so they wanted their guests to have some visual candy while along for the ride.
I finally arrive at the room to find I'm booked into the Jimmie Martin penthouse suite while in residence. I must admit I was secretly hoping to get one of the basement level rooms with the plunge pools, but was equally amused to find myself in a suite filled with oddities such as a studded-seat chair. Let's just say this was more a room about visual enjoyment than complete comfort. As I moved throughout the space I found myself confronted with a golden calf, an in-room bathtub and a lamp made out of a mannequin. Oh, and that's just the start. Of course there were the trademark Jimmie Martin chairs, including my favourite sausage dog duo, and the aforementioned "love hurts" studded moment. The only "normal" area of the suite was outside where the balcony was relatively decor free and peaceful. I have been told, however, that the big beautiful balcony becomes an outdoor movie theatre in the summer, which is just absolutely the coolest thing going here.
While I'm one for creature comforts, I can easily understand and appreciate the appeal of The Exhibitionist hotel in South Kensington. There were quite a few couples in residence when I checked in and they all varied in age, dress sense and nationality. Seems The Exhibitionist is bringing out the curious. If you are into your modern and contemporary art scene, let's just go ahead and say this has to be on your "to see and do" list for 2015. If you're looking for more comfort and less pizazz, may I recommend you steer clear of the suites and book into one of the other 37 bespoke rooms in the building.
I will definitely be back. I'm thinking this would be a killer location for a cocktail party in the summer. Who's with me?

"Energize the Movement": Jailhouse Lawyers Speak on the Importance of the National Shut'Em Down Demonstrations
A call has gone out from Jailhouse Lawyers Speak for National Shut'Em Down demonstrations across the so-called United States outside of prisons, jails, and detention facilities. It's Going Down caught up with Jailhouse Lawyers Speak to find out the thinking behind the call, how abolitionists on both sides of the walls can come together to better coordinate our struggles, and much more.
Submitted by R Totale on August 8, 2021
At It's Going Down, we've been tracking, reporting, and interviewing people involved in the growing abolitionist and prisoner resistance movement since we began this project over 6 years ago. On May Day of 2016, we saw growing support among anarchist and autonomous anti-capitalist currents for a wave of strikes across Texas prisons and in September of the same year, this energy exploded in various prisoner-led uprisings and the first national prison strike across US prisons, which saw actions at dozens of facilities involving tens of thousands of prisoners, spreading into prisons in Greece and Mexico, as the streets were flooded with solidarity demonstrations, noise demos, blockades, and more.
In 2018, there was another call for a nation-wide prison strike, as solidarity actions again kicked off along-side a variety of prison work-stoppages, hunger-strikes, and beyond. The impact of this ongoing organizing, support for prisoner revolt, and the centering of the strike's demands to abolish prison slavery, pushed abolitionist ideas into the mainstream and also helped win concessions for things like Pell grants.
When the COVID-19 crisis hit, this energy steamrolled into a drive to support not only the growing flood of resistance on the inside of the prison walls, but also to push for release of inmates who faced exploding infection rates.
Now, a call has gone out from Jailhouse Lawyers Speak, for National Shut'Em Down demonstrations across the so-called United States outside of prisons, jails, and detention facilities. The purpose of the call, according to JLS:
Over the last year prisoners across the country have been holding the longest and largest spontaneous demonstrations in response to covid. With approximately 300,000 (the number is possibly as high as 800,000) people in prison having been infected by covid prisoners have continued to demand basic human rights protections. These demonstrations have been sporadic and largely ignored by the public as prisoners and supporters demanded covid safety and precautions be enacted in prisons. In a number of states, these covid demonstrations have turned into widespread and hard fought successful court battles for releasing prisoners.
Lives could have been saved if America was on the path of Abolition. We must struggle harder to close prisons, jails and to free people from the grips of American prison slavery. This is all stated while recognizing that we must develop effective strategies to have the billions of taxpayers dollars used to grow the prison industrial slave complex (PISC) redirected to the communities.
In the spirit of Abolition on the historical dates of August 21st and September 9th, 2021 organizers must highlight prisoners' historical struggles, and the current political struggles to dismantle the prison industrial slave complex. Jailhouse Lawyers Speak is calling for mass outside demonstrations.
Specific locations: ICE, jails, prisons, and higher learning institutions. (With regards to higher learning institutions we are pointing towards the learning institutions with connections to prison labor).
Remembering the plantation struggles: Nat Turner, George Jackson, Attica Rebellion, 2016 National Prison Strike, 2018 National Prison Strike and the 10 Prison Strike Demands!
Wanting to know more about the call-to-action, we caught up with Jailhouse Lawyers Speak to find out the thinking behind the call, how abolitionists on both sides of the walls can come together to better coordinate our struggles, and much more.
IGD: Tell us what the idea behind the 'National Shut'Em Down Demonstrations' is?
JLS: Abolition. But because we understand that this is a process; that we call for dismantling the prison industrial slave complex, this current push is to energize the movement towards stronger demands of closing jails, prisons, and ICE.
IGD: Do you all see this as a continuation of the national prison strikes that were held in 2016 and 2018? What's changed on the inside since then?
JLS: Yes we do see this as a continuance of past prisoners led resistance. Whether the objectives is short or long term, we learn something during and after each demonstration that we believe gets us to or on the mark.
On the inside since the last major national strikes its felt in some areas that there will never be another national strike. In other states we find prisoners asking when is the next lay down coming. So it's a mixed bag. Overall, we do witness more prisoners networking with each other or creating organizations with outside citizens. This is always good. In order to bring about the intended results, prisoners must lead in their movement.
IGD: How has COVID-19 and its deadly impact on the incarcerated population changed how you call see the struggle on the inside?
JLS: COVID has been an entire other beast. In a way it has made prison life more burdensome. No family visits. In a few places where they started back, the access is very limited with no touching. On a national scope, COVID lock-downs have been frequent, this means limited showers and no rec. What we learned throughout this pandemic is that when it comes down to life and death options prisoners are more likely to unify for life preservation. This is why everyone saw the continued rebellious moves people in prisons were making in order to save their lives. From this energy it is our understanding that we need to message prisoners resistance as life or death.
IGD: What's been the impact of the George Floyd rebellion on what's happening on the inside?
JLS: Sadly, outside of talk, nothing much. For many of us in here, all of us was George Floyd. The only thing is that we survived and was lynched through the judicial process.
IGD: Since COVID-19 hit, we've seen a wave of prisoner hunger strikes, uprisings, and across the board organizing. At the same time, we've seen a growing interest and participation in the abolitionist movement on the outside. How can both of these currents, inside and outside, begin to be in dialog and take action in solidarity with each other more?
JLS: Such events like the National Shut'em Down call is a great way to start. And its actually meant to have the inside and outside dialog within Abolitionist perimeters. Events like the one we called needs to be answered because it would bring additional people on the outside into the Abolitionist Movement.
Keep in mind, in order to meet with success, we have to educate and use constructive criticism to get people to support our positions as Abolitionists. Jailhouse Lawyers Speak is currently having discussions around calling an Abolitionist Convention in 2022. This will be an even greater opportunity for the inside and outside to dialog and commit to actions together.
IGD: What does the way forward, from your perspective, for the abolitionist movement, look like in 2021?
JLS: This is a question that would need to brought up at a JLS Central Committee meeting. What can be stated is that the inside and outside need to build stronger bonds in communication and target jails, prison, and ICE buildings for closing. We do believe Abolitionist organizations on the outside will unify more with prisoner led Abolitionist organizations on the inside. This will help the Movement gain momentum and victories across the country.
IGD: How does JLS go about overcoming the various organizational and racial divisions that prison imposes on prisoners?
JLS: Communication is the key. Jailhouse Lawyers Speak was founded upon what we call George Jackson principles. One such principle states "Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution."
We aim to find common grounds in what is better known as prisoner class-interests. Trust when it's stated that this is never an easy process. Especially if we have to relay messages through snail mail or a third party. There are times when we meet with failure. We learn and keep the communication lines alive. A great deal of what we are doing today with phones as an organization on a national scene is new.
We are still developing networks around the country. Our networks are making it easy to push past some of the difficulties you all run into out there. Its probably because in prison fascism is easier to see and the oppressive hand that's smacking us all is more aggressive. Everyone in here is craving major change due to it. The only debate is always to what degree and over what grounds.
IGD: We read that a series of panel discussions are being organized on top of protests and demonstrations across the US. Can you tell us more about the panel discussions?
JLS: Most demos are being organized autonomously. This includes the panel discussions you mentioned. The JLS CC is not fully informed as to how this will play out. But we are hopeful that it will be an informative Abolitionist conversation.
IGD: What can we do to expand these actions into women's prisons, jails, and detention centers?
JLS: We do hope a few are already planned at some. Those already in touch with the women in these areas should talk to them about areas that need to be targeted for closures. And if not for closure, at least to highlight the reason for Abolition in general. So speak to the people in those women cells, or those that have recently been released. Another important reason for the call to Shut'em Down is to help promote Abolition in the prisons. We have too many people in prison that don't even know that Abolition is even a working word or option. We have to change this. People in prison all around the nation have to be educated in what Abolition. Open the conversation up with people in these prisons. Stop the reform talks as the only options.
IGD: For everyone on the outside reading this, what would you want to communicate to them in closing, as we get closer to these days of action?
JLS: Understand that what you do matters. This nation has more people shackled to the state or government then any other nation on earth. This number of humans confined has never been known in human history. We can't reform something like that. We have to wipe it out. Not only has this beast grabbed bodies in the millions from poor area mostly, its drained resources from these disadvantaged communities. And when not drained, it has intentionally diverted these resources to more wealthier areas or pockets. All of this to us is by design. People are usually products of their environment.
This is the greatest human rights violation in our time period. We can change this by being on the right side of history. We want to thank everyone that has already committed to stepping up and began to organizing local Shut'em Down demos in the spirit of abolition. If someone cannot agree with us on total Abolition, we should all be able to agree that this nation has too many damn prisons. Shut'em Down. It's going to take all of us to cause the shutdown of numerous prisons in this nation. This is our cause, this is our agenda. Find a local Abolitionist organization or group and get involved today.
And to the prisoncrats glaring angrily over these words, yeap, we trying to tear your damn plantation system down or turn it to ashes.
Black August salutations to all!
Can't stop, won't stop!

I used the photo by Nancy Merill of Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theater donated and created for this for the March One Photo Focus (AB Friday) challenge. I use many multiple layers in Photoshop; such as color inversions and overlays, brightening and darkening, etc. until it had the look I was after.
Love the "Olde Worlde" feel of your edit.
Thank you. That was my intent and I wanted the sign to stand out too.
I think your image looks so much more "authentic" – like Shakespeare's times!
Thank you. I didn't stop messing with it until I felt it looked that way. I tried adding a ghost of Shakespeare but it didn't work out.
Sherry – I really like how you lit up the building like this – and all of your other touches! I also appreciate what you did because I messed around with this image last week and because of that I was more familiar with the composition ! Nice work…..
Thanks you very much. My goodness, I what didn't I use! I used find outlines. Adjustment layers: convert to gray scale, hue saturation, brightness and contrast. Blend modes like overlay. Layer duplication, etc. For the highlight a brightness contrast adjustment layer with only the light part white (to show) the rest black (to hide). I used masks throughout to isolate the areas I wanted to effect. And I added a spider web with a spider web brush in the lower right corner.
Oh I am coming back to see the spider web! And like i said – I know this image so well and so thx for sharing the things u did – I will be back later to check it more (mobile right now) and again – I LOve the light on the building!
