Live Oak I'm all for Relay for Life here in Suwannee County. I have participated for years .How is it you want more supporters when you don't even advertise the upcoming event or give names of the commitee members or phone numbers to contact? More publicity is definetly required to get the job done.

The job for a co. administrator should require a degree along with prior exp. in a similar position, & a favorable reference well removed from the local scene. Lacking that, an exec. with viable exp. in a succesful private sector operation. Approval should involve a non-partisan, volunteer reveiw panel of the citizens who are actually paying for this, clearly not "the pleasure" of the BOCC. THINK PEOPLE, we need to implement a charter in this county.

I just learned of the St. Johns District, the North Florida Aquifer Replenishment Initiative, http://northfloridawater.com/?utm_source=2012_February_22&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Water_News. That begs the question, "Where is the Suwannee River District's Aquifer Replenishment Initiative - and implementation schedule?"

I may be confused, coulda sworn a certain commisioner said he wasn't running again just a coupla mos. ago. Sadly, it seems untrue. Wonder why the weekly poll shows we don't put much stock in their decisions, ( like in absolutely not). With such great results & progress, let's put him back in office with 16% of the vote $130K of our money yet again as usual. Maybe he should do the right thing & step aside, ( like he said). Maybe term limits since they can't control their own ego & greed. Maybe we're as stupid as they think we are!

Natalie Kandis, a U.K. export now living in Singapore, came over to the Philippines one day. She's here to fulfill two goals. One is to appear in FHM Philippines, which she says is one of her favorite international versions, and two, is to be able to cross out the country from her extensive list of travel destinations.

The girl loves to travel, amongst other things including: animals, dancing, Thai food, house and trance music, and Filipino men. She says she'd like to go to Africa to go on a safari and see wild animals roaming free. She says she craves for those huge parties in Ibiza. And yes she says that she finds Pinoys attractive.

The moment she told us that, we, of course, instantly loved her. As you can see, we are quite easy to flatter like that. And these pin-up photos you see here should make it easy for you to love her, too. She definitely brought some of that U.K. swagger with her, while at the same time incorporating a little bit of that playful Asian flavor that she's learned in her two years living in Asia.

At one point, obligatory queries regarding her stance on relationship came up. In spite of being the type of woman who might just be able to get any man she wants, Natalie confesses that she's indeed very loyal. She can if she wanted to, but this woman professes that she don't flirt around when in a relationship. That's not to say though that she can't be a mean girl. Once, in a trip to Thailand, she let her guy friend flirt around with a lady she already knew was a lady boy. You know, just for a good laugh.

That's Natalie Kandis for you. She can be playful, she can be cute, but she can also quite serious when it comes to the more important things in life. Now, wouldn't you want someone like that for a girlfriend?

What was your favorite part of the shoot today? It has to be the pink underwear because it was really playful, and really sexy. Id love to do a shoot in a beach or a pool though!

Is pink your favorite color? It isnt actually. But thats the reason why today is extra, extra special. I dont actually like pink that much but it made it really, really playful. I had so much fun.

Indeed, pink is playful, and cute. Would you say that your personality is like that as well? I can be at at times. But then I can be quite serious too.

If we ask one of your friends, how would they describe you? Theyll say shes really outgoing, really friendly, bubbly, and that shes a load of fun to go out with.

Seat is bringing back its Toledo and has revealed a first glimpse a new concept which will be on show at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

The next generation of the Toledo will be a more conventional five-door hatchback design, as opposed to the previous model which was an MPV style model.

This new Toledo concept is close to being a production model which is likely to go on sale in Spain first in the spring.

Head to AM's gallery section to see all the picturesreleased of the new Toledo concept.

Measuring 4.48 metres in length, the new Toledo will offer 500 litres of boot space and the convenience of a large rear hatch and folding rear bench.

Seat is attempting to combine a coupe-like profile with the functionality of an estate car.

James Muir, president of Seat, said: The Seat Toledo concept illustrates our idea of the perfect mid-range car.

It is an excellent combination of emotional design, top-level usability and dynamic driving characteristics.

The subsequent production model, our new Toledo, will write a whole new success story with its clear Seat identity, its excellent quality standard and exceptional value-for-money. Following the Mii family and the new Ibiza, the new Toledo marks the next wave in our model offensive and growth strategy.

Seat to launch new Toledo

TORONTO - Telefilm Canada says it wants to offer big money to small projects.

The federal agency says it's introducing a pilot program that would give emerging filmmakers as much as $120,000 to make so-called "micro-budget" movies.

The fund targets low-budget ventures that cost less than $250,000 and are designed for various digital platforms. It would launch this summer.

Executive director Carolle Brabant revealed the plan today at the Prime Time in Ottawa conference, a national networking event for film, television, broadcasting and telecommunications industries.

She also announced a second fund that would support both emerging and established filmmakers and give tax-receipts to individual and corporate donors who want to back Canuck filmmakers.

Documentary maker Peter Raymont says it's something many producers have wanted to see for a long time.

"There's a lot of people in Canada who care about art and culture and filmmaking and would like to be able to support it and receive a tax receipt," said Raymont, one of Telefilm's consultants on the plan.

Still, the director had qualms about the fund, noting he'd prefer it if donors could put their money into a particular film rather than donate to a slate of Telefilm titles.

He suggested that allowing for targeted donations would elicit greater private investment, pointing to the experience he had recently completing a feature-length documentary about painter Tom Thomson.

Raymont says private donors provided almost one third of the $1 million budget for "West Wind."
