| Your property questions answered
Instead you can contact your local authority which has the power under the Derelict Sites Act, 1990, and the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act, 1964, to deal with derelict sites and dangerous structures. It will be up to the local authority to track down the owner and serve them with notice to clean up and make their property safe. Property owners are required by law to make sure their property does not become derelict or contain any dangerous structures. Getting a property onto the derelict sites registry is a long process involving several notices to the owners, and so on, but a side wall that is shakey with the potential to fall out on the public pathway should get the attention of the local authority very quickly. There is provision in the legislation for the local authority to fix the dangerous wall, chimney stack and so on and to bill the owner.
Domino's Pizza Builds on Heritage with Launch of 'You Got 30 Minutes'
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) , the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, is launching a rebranding campaign, "You Got 30 Minutes," with agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B, www.cpbgroup.com). The campaign builds on the company's 30- minute delivery heritage by highlighting the value of what pizza delivery really does for consumers - gives them free time. This time around, there's no guarantee of delivery within 30 minutes as there was in Domino's past. Instead, the message to consumers is that they have free time -- about 30 minutes -- to do whatever they want, because Domino's Pizza is taking care of the meal. "We're presenting consumers with the gift of time, which is something our customers all need more of," says Ken Calwell, Domino's chief marketing officer.
Monday wild card
Coming on the heels of "Chorus Line," which was coarser, I'd say the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre had one adult-themed play too many this summer. I want to see "Chorus Line" again. But I'll pass on "Pippin" (although Ellen Travolta was dyne-oh!-mite in the one scene as Pippin's grandma). .
Blog: Auto World's Cheapest Car Greeted by Environmentalist Protests
When your average salary is a $250/month, you don't buy a car. You ride a scooter, a vehicle which for much of Asia's population is the de facto mode of transportation. Of course, putting four or five people on a seat meant for one and a half isn't comfortable or even safe. The children have to be constantly held. Occasionally they'll sit on the rear tire shield or stand on the front, skipping the seat entirely. Accidents are common-- and without any sort of protection, even the most trivial often cause serious injury. Exposure to the elements has its health effects, especially for small children who in bad weather typically arrive rain-soaked and covered in mud from foul city streets. The Indian company Tata is trying to change all that. Its new vehicle, the Nano, has a starting cost of only $2,500.
Nongaming, luxury hotel for A.C.
The Chelsea will begin taking reservations next month for its 330 rooms and 12 suites that offer sweeping ocean and bay views, and debuts to the public Memorial Day weekend. Prices will range from $95 to $275 a night during the off-peak season, or $225 to $450 a night during the peak summer season. Bashaw's sister, Colleen, designed the interior of the Chelsea, revealed yesterday for the first time. There will be a 15,000- square-foot rooftop swimming pool area with private cabanas; a 6,500-square-foot luxury spa; and a fifth-floor social area - the Terrace Lounge - with a bar, game room and living room. Philadelphia-based restaurateur Stephen Starr will manage all food and beverage at the property, including room service. There are two Starr restaurants - Teplitzky's, a diner on the ground floor, and Chelsea Prime, an upscale steakhouse on the fifth floor, which has the feel of a supper club of the 1960s.
Playing with fire
With every second family having at least one member who is physically disfigured, it is easy to mistake the villagers for mutilated victims of war, but the sole fight here is one for survival. The hamlets residents eat, sleep and go about their daily business surrounded by low-grade explosives, yet swear on the lives of their children that their products are perfectly safe and innocent forms of amusement. Disaster comes only from negligence, recklessness and occasionally bad luck, they say, claiming their biggest problem is that the outside world simply wont leave them in peace. Master firework-makers have called El-Nazla home for generations, but life as they knew it came crashing to an end in 1994. As the insurgency of the last century heated up, the Ministry of Interior issued a decree criminalizing the possession of 52 kinds of explosives, including the low-grade black gunpowder used to make firecrackers, sparklers and other fireworks.
Making baby 'extra special'
Considering the calendar-correction oddity only comes once every four years, Elizabeth defied 1,461 to 1 odds to become the talk of the family. "Every baby is special, but this just makes her extra special," Andrea Thomas said. Elizabeth wasn't supposed to be a Leap Day baby. In fact, she wasn't supposed to be a February baby at all. Her original due date was March 26, but that was later moved up to March 19. Since she was going to miss out on a spring birth anyway, Elizabeth decided to speed things up a bit and take a shot at making Thomas family history. Neither Andrea nor her husband, Bill, have Leap Day births in their families. "Everyone I work with thought it would be a Leap Day baby. They said I was ornery enough to have one," Andrea said. Andrea started having contractions eight days before she gave birth and made two false alarm trips to Fort Madison Community Hospital over the past week.

Coeur d'Alene Soldier Buried at Arlington National Cemetery
I also notice that some of you have learned to like and respect others here that you wouldn't have before. The online columns by liberal TUBOB and conservative Alice Rankin here are the ultimate expression of what HBO has become. The ride keeps getting better. And there's room for more. .
