Among the many things men enjoy doing when not plotting world domination or picking fleece out of their belly buttons is playing a good round of golf followed by having the world's most amazing slumber where they will dream about world domination. Today's Groupon gives you the opportunity to do just that, sans the laser beams and belly button cleaner:
- Pay R180 for one round of nature golf for one person at the Klein Cedarberg Lodge, valued at R360
- Pay R725 for two rounds of nature golf and one night's accommodation for two people at the Klein Cedarberg Lodge, valued at R1450
The Klein Cedarberg Lodge is the perfect place for discerning
gents or your everyday man's man to play a few rounds of nature golf,
surrounded by complete nature and splendor. Nature golf however isn't your
ordinary 18 hole game and has been described best as "golf meets art". No
perfectly manicured fairways, just terrain that'll prove your real golf muster
and an ostrich or two who might eat your ball. Not many can say that they've
played a round of golf in a nature reserve, let alone been able to walk right
on over to their bed after those 18 holes.
Inspired by the rock formations surrounding this
breathtaking area, the lodge is made up of stone and thatch, continuing with
the natural theme throughout. Regardless of whether you decide to play both
games of golf yourself or play a game of golf each, you can ragail stories of
how you almost got a hole in one on the eleventh hole on your private outside
area back at the lodge. Regardless of whether you go by yourself or with someone for Valentine's
Day (your caddy doesn't count) Klein Cedarberg Lodge provides ample for all to
If golf isn't your thing then opt for a guided hike, see the cave paintings or take what you learnt from the rock art and apply it in a therapeutic art session. No matter if you come ready to hit a few balls, or just want to relax surrounded by nature, this haven of tranquility and past time is only a mere 2.5 hours away from Cape Town.

Our Continental Snap Wallet eliminates the need to haul those oversized purses and bags with you when you take a quick trip to the grocery store or mall. It's got just enough room for the necessities without being overbearing, making it a perfect companion for casual everyday use. Handcrafted with turned edge construction from some of the finest leather available, the Continental Snap Wallet features accordion style gussets and has 10 slots inside for credit, debit, and business cards. 2 interior bill compartments and a coin pocket fill out the rest of the space, letting you keep all your cards, currency, and other small items like pens and lipstick organized. A hidden snap closure on the outside keeps it all securely shut. Perfect for the woman on the go, our Continental Snap Wallet makes it easy to take what you need with you and nothing more.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
wife absolutely loved it
Very roomy and easy to use.
I was very happy with the quality of the wallet but I have had a VERY difficult time with the billing end of things. I'm praying that it all works out in the end.
Awesome. Just what my wife wanted. Just as nice, or nicer in my opinion than any Coach wallet out there. Ant the engraving was perfect. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

- How Do I Recycle My...
At Home and in the Garden
The best place to start making a difference is right in your own home. Learn how you can reduce, reuse, and recycle materials to decrease household waste! Tips below will help you get started.
Lawn and Garden
Quick Tips:
- Feed your soil with compost; make compost at home, or buy it in bags or bulk. Compost helps sandy soils hold nutrients and water, loosens clay soils, and feeds the organisms that are beneficial to soil.
- Mow higher and leave the clippings. Modern mulching lawn mowers make "grasscycling" even easier. Homeowners can reduce their mowing time by 30 to 40 percent by not having to bag clippings.
- Choose the right plant for the right place. Select plants that grow well in your area of the country and fit the amount of sun, type of soil and water available in your yard.
- Give plants a good start. Prepare the soil by mixing one to three inches of compost into soil in planting beds.
- Water deeply, but infrequently. Most plants do best if the soil is allowed to partially dry out between waterings.
At Home
Quick Tips:
- Reduce food waste by using up the food you already bought and have in the house instead of buying more. You already paid for it - so use it!
- Non-perishable and unspoiled perishable food can be donated to local food banks, soup kitchens, pantries, and shelters.
- Reuse items around the house such as rags and wipes, empty jars and mugs, party decorations, and gift wrap.
- Buy products in concentrate, bulk, and in refillable containers. They reduce packaging waste and can save you money!
- Return used car tires to retailers or wholesalers that recycle or retread them. Tires are banned from most landfills, and illegally dumped tires become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests.
- When buying products, check the labels to determine an item's recyclability and whether it is made from recycled materials. Buying recycled encourages manufacturers to make more recycled-content products available.
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
Quick Tips:
- Properly store any unused paint for future use, donate unused paint to neighbors or charities, or turn in your used paint to a waste collection facility for recycling.
- Buy products that contain minimal amounts, or no, hazardous ingredients. Use alternative methods or products - without hazardous ingredients - for common household needs, such as making a household cleaning solution from 1 cup of warm water, 3 drops of vegetable-based liquid soap, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
- Products that contain hazardous ingredients should be used and stored properly to prevent accidents in the home. Never store hazardous products in food containers; keep them in their original containers and never remove labels. Corroding containers may require special handling. Call your local hazardous materials official or fire department for instructions.
- Recycle or safely dispose of your HHW.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff in particular were really friendly and attentive. It was a shame that, after extending my booking and settling my bill on the last night, they'd increased the price of my room by an extra 25% per night, saying if I'd booked online it would have been cheaper... which annoyingly I had, but obviously extended by word of mouth; I just wished they'd mentioned that at the time! Also the showers were either freezing cold or boiling hot. Other than that, lovely.

I posted a review last July of Russ and Peg Hall's wonderful book, The Summer of a Thousand Cheeses. Recently, I realized that they now have a fun blog called "Cheese and Random Ferments."
Their latest post lists 5 soups they make using some of their leftover whey. With their permission, I re-arranged it a little bit so I could include all 5 recipes in this article. (If you go to their blog, you may find it easier to print their recipes.)

What to do with Whey?
|Whey remaining from cheese curds recipe
In our last two cheese making adventures we tried to save all the whey when draining and pressing curds. We lost some, but in the end had 10+ quarts of the stuff. We found few recipes, but learned from Ricki, the Cheese Queen, that whey is a good substitute for broth in soups.
I looked up calories in whey, wondering how the caloric content of whey compares with homemade chicken broth. Searching the web, I found that whey has 59 calories per cup, whereas the homemade "chicken stock" we normally use is credibly listed at 97 calories per cup. This is in contrast to the canned or boxed "chicken broth" found in grocery stores, most kinds of which have about 20 calories per cup. So whether using whey saves calories depends on whether you normally use homemade chicken stock or store-bought chicken broth.
So we tried several soups, substituting whey for the usual broth. (Note: These recipes are not meant to be prescriptive; we seldom follow them to the letter, and aren't afraid to get creative.) Attempts and results are as follow:
Ingredients & Calories:
½ head coarsely chopped cabbage 115
14.5 oz canned Italian-style diced or stewed tomatoes 175
2 cloves garlic, chopped 20
8 cups whey 480
4 chicken bouillon cubes 20
3 tbsp olive oil 360
½ onion, chopped 45
1 tsp salt, or to taste
½ tsp black pepper, or to taste
½ tsp dried red peppers, more or less to taste
Total calories: 1215
Add olive oil to a large pot, over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until onions are yellow, approximately 5 minutes. Now pour in the whey, bouillon, salt, pepper, and dried red peppers, if desired. Let this come to a boil and drop in the cabbage. Cook until the cabbage wilts, approximately 10 min. Then add tomatoes, increasing heat and boiling around 10 to 15 min. Stir continue cooking until flavors blend.
8 (1½ cup) servings @ 150 calories each
This was very good; not sure, but the secret may have been the whey; it seemed to add a scrumptious creaminess and a subtle piquant taste. All in all, a wondrous low-calorie treat. But where will we find more whey?
Ingredients & Calories:
3 tbsp butter 300
½ lb fresh shiitakes more or less 50
6 large dried Chinese shiitakes (optional) 15
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper
12 cups whey 685
4 beef boullion cubes 40
3 tbsp flour 75
6 dashes Maggi seasoning
Total calories: 1165
Re-hydrate dried shiitakes, if using. Cut them into thin strips and store in soaking liquid until ready to use.
Saute the fresh mushrooms in the butter. Cook until all water has evaporated and mushrooms begin to actually fry. Add salt and white pepper as desired. Add re-hydrated and sliced shiitakes to pan and fry a bit longer. Add flour and mix until a paste forms.
Add whey and shiitake soaking liquid, filtered through a coffee filter or paper towel. Add boullion cubes. When all is boiling, add milk and heat until almost boiling. Add seasoning and adjust salt, etc.
Approximately 14 cups @ 85 calories/cup
Ingredients & Calories:
½ tbsp olive oil 60
1 16-oz package of frozen cut okra, thawed 150
1 cup chopped onion 65
2 small (or one large) jalapeño, finely chopped 25
2 tbsp tomato paste 30
6 cups whey 340
2 links Puerto Rican style chorizo, sliced thin 340
1 10-oz can Rotel Mexican Festival tomatoes 75
½ tsp salt
½ tsp white pepper
½ tsp red pepper
1 bay leaf
1 chicken breast (ca. 8 oz) cut in ½-inch strips 250
2 chicken bouillon cubes 10
Total calories: 1340
Heat oil in Dutch oven and cook okra until it is no longer slimy, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot as necessary. Reduce heat. Add the onions, chopped onion, jalapeños, and tomato paste and stir and cook for 5 minutes.
Add 5 cups of the whey, the sausage, tomatoes, seasonings, and bay leaf. Bring to boiling and cook for 15 minutes.
Spray a nonstick skillet and add chicken strips, stirring to cook until browned. Add the remaining cup of whey and bouillon cubes. Deglaze the pan, and add all to Dutch oven. Cook 15 minutes.
Serve over white rice (? cup dry rice cooked = 400 Calories)
6 servings @ 290 calories (including rice) each
Ingredients & Calories:
16 oz green split peas 1100
2 cups small-diced ham 212
2-3 smoked ham hocks 180
3 carrots, peeled and diced 150
1 small onion, diced 30
2 celery ribs, diced, including leaves 30
2 cloves garlic, minced 20
1 bay leaf
10-12 sprigs fresh parsley
1 tbsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2-3 dried chipotles, cut up into small pieces
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (optional) 88
1.5 cup frozen peas on canned (optional) 210
6 cups whey 341
Total calories: 2365
Place all in a large soup pot. Cook 1½ to 2 hours, or until desired consistency is achieved.
Serve with croutons. Or, if croutons are unavailable, substitute oyster crackers.
A hearty red wine is a good accompaniment.
A delightful concoction! Tres jolie.
8 servings @ 295 calories each
|Pozole sintético con suero de la leche
1 medium onion 30
2 cloves garlic 10
1 tbsp oil 150
½ lb very lean (or defatted) pork 650
2 tbsp* New Mexican ground chile
2 14 ½ oz. cans pozole (white hominy) 490
8 cups whey 455
Fresh lime, or lime juice (optional)
Total calories: 1785
Remove any visible fat from pork. Brown, then boil in enough water to make 2 cups of broth. Refrigerate overnight, and remove any fat from the surface of broth. Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add New Mexico ground chile powder to 2 cups boiling water and mix until well blended. Add whey, pork and broth, onion and garlic, hominy, and New Mexican pepper slurry to pot. Bring to boil and simmer until ready to serve.
Drizzle lime juice over soup in serving bowl. Garnish with oregano, crushed pepper flakes, or fried tortilla strips.
*Note: Soup was a bit hot. One tbsp NM chile powder might suffice. Or, perhaps try 1 each of this NM chile powder and regular chili powder. Another alternative would be to try 2 tbsp of a milder NM powder.
Subsequent Tries - In several tries used the short (ca, 1-2 inch) pork rib strips, cut up. Results were very good, although calories surely were more. Also I tried adding green chiles and cumin, as recommended in a Bon Appetit recipe. This was very good. The green NM chile powder is still potent, even after being frozen for several years, and should be used sparingly if bland-loving guests are to be served. I skimmed most of the fat after refrigerating the inevitable leftovers, and noted no loss of flavor or heartiness, although some of the chile powder may have been lost in the process.
14 one-cup servings @ 130 calories each

Gocompare.com "Hawking" by Dare
Professor Stephen Hawking, the theoretical physicist and author, attempts to kill off Gocompare.com's annoying tenor Gio Compario in the new spot for the "saving the nation" campaign.
Hawking said: "I confess I am a fan of the Gocompare.com adverts, but I am also an opera fan, so I was delighted to be given the opportunity to help save the nation and silence Gio. I hope the public find it as funny as I did."

Navy 'stands down' air wing, Marines defer maintenance
Sister services brace for cumulative toll in SD, afar as cuts begin
The skies and waters of San Diego will become quieter as the Navy slashes ship training and even stands down an air wing in response to sweeping automatic budget cuts triggered Friday.
Even if you didn't regard military jet and helicopter noise as the "sound of freedom," the cuts will hurt San Diegans in the pocketbook, as more than 24,000 civilian government defense employees lose one paid day a week starting in April.
Defense contractors are expected to issue pink slips. Some have already started.
Under what's known as "sequestration," the Pentagon will be forced to slice its budget $55 billion annually for a decade. This year, the cut is expected to be between $42 billion and $47 billion from a $525 billion base defense budget.
This "sequester" of funding stems from a 2011 budget deal intended to force Congress to create a deficit-busting package of spending cuts and tax changes. But that politically difficult solution never materialized, and after a two-month delay, the hammer dropped Friday.
The thud was heard around military-rich San Diego, home to the Navy SEALs, much of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and one of the Marine Corps' three expeditionary forces. About 109,000 active-duty troops are stationed in the county, almost evenly split between Marines and sailors.
At military offices, leaders are still wondering how it will play out, awaiting specifics that started to drip out Friday and will likely flow more freely next week.
"We are trying to preserve flexibility and will not make final decisions about cuts until absolutely necessary," said Cmdr. Charlie Brown, spokesman for the Navy's Third Fleet, headquartered in Point Loma. "We will continue to support our forward-deployed forces and do our best to preserve the readiness of those next to deploy."
The big news for the Navy is that a San Diego-based aircraft wing attached to the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan will be idled starting in April.
The announcement will affect F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets stationed in Central California's Lemoore air base and San Diego-based helicopters assigned to the carrier. The Reagan recently emerged from a year of maintenance in Puget Sound and likely faces months of training before it could deploy.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said at a Pentagon press conference that four of the Navy's nine air wings would "stand down."
The Navy provided information that the first will be the Reagan in April. Following that will be air wings assigned to the Washington state-based John C. Stennis, the San Diego-based Carl Vinson and the Virginia-based Eisenhower. Two others will be reduced to sustainment-only levels.
These are the first pieces of the Navy's planned response to the sequester cuts. The sea service openly warned that it would be forced to scratch ship deployments, and over the weekend officials said the San Diego-based frigate Thach will return home early from a deployment to South America.
The list, originally released in January then updated in mid February, included 10 destroyers, seven of which were scheduled to provide ballistic missile defense for the United States and its allies. It also said it would cancel deployment preparation for San Diego aircraft carriers Reagan and Vinson.

Eco-conscious cuisine and innovative diversions are givingAmerica's sailing capital a bold new look
n a Saturday night in late February, the nadir of the off-season in Newport, Rhode Island, a beautiful crowd gathers for pre-party cocktails at a waterfront hotel. Ladies in long dresses and men in tuxedos mill about the hotel's marquee bar, sipping signature cocktails and gossiping. None of this seems out of place, as the city is famous for its high-society glamour. What does stand out, however, is the setting. Forty 1° North, which in May will celebrate its third anniversary, is no Vanderbilt mansion or creaky colonial inn. It's a stunning homage to Art Deco opulence and an example of how eco-conscious innovation and elegant design can merge seamlessly. And that combination is a trend that Newport is not taking lightly on its quest to become a year-round destination.
Fast forward to spring. Forty 1° North is at the forefront of the city's eco-makeover. By May, every guestroom and suite in this LEED-certified hotel (Newport's first and only) will be reserved. A wireless digital concierge service eliminates paper waste, Malin + Goetz amenities fill the cabinets and reclaimed wood and sea glass pepper the resplendent décor. Floor-to-ceiling windows and guest room balconies offer sweeping harbor views and bring the sea air in, assuming you ever go inside. Named for its latitude, the hotel has a sunset-inspired palette and open-air layout—intended to create a natural ventilation system powered entirely by bay breezes and south-facing windows—that recall South Beach or St. Barth. As the weather heats up, its outdoor dining and living rooms retain a cool, cozy feel thanks to strategically placed reeds and billowing white curtains, which are just right for afternoon lounging and late-night dance parties under the stars.
If the hotel's Oval Bar, with its sleek glass and polished wood construction, leads the pack in Newport's new nightlife, Christie's is its cool, unpretentious counterpart. A longtime Newport establishment, Christie's was recently bought by Forty 1° North and revamped from salty clam shack to laid-back but luxurious restaurant. The menu encourages sharing—small bites are light and Asian-inspired—and each cocktail boasts a different color of the rainbow. Its space is open, with whitewashed rooms at ground level and airy lofts above, and it seems built for casual entertaining. In the summer months, it is often a last stop for revelers, as its late-night DJ sets lure crowds. But even in February, it had a packed house 300 strong for NewportFILM's annual fund-raiser.
NewportFILM may not be at Sundance's level yet, but the year-round film festival is making a name for itself on the industry circuit. Responsible for bringing such recent Oscar contenders as Chasing Ice and Searching for Sugar Man to the coastal town, it now draws patrons from all over the world to wander through Christie's bi-level lounge space, bid on art and unconventional vacations (an overnight stay in a lighthouse, for example) in the silent auction and dance well past midnight.
ut before any revelry, dinner is a must, and just down the historic main drag is Tallulah on Thames, an unassuming restaurant built into an 18th-century storefront that's turning out the city's most inventive cuisine. With an emphasis on farm- and ocean-to-table cooking, owner and chef Jake Rojas crafts nearly every bite with ingredients sourced right in Rhode Island—and not just the oysters. Favorite dishes include Hudson Valley foie gras served on a rosemary waffle with apple and butternut squash, native monkfish with bacon and sunchokes and a deconstructed apple tart that must be tasted to be believed. In addition, dark, rambling dining rooms create an ambience that is anything but old-fashioned, even though the architecture dates back several centuries. Open just a couple of years, Tallulah has garnered attention from The New York Times and draws crowds every night of the week, both during the season and off-season. It's all with good reason: There's nothing else like this here.
On any given weekend morning, come rain, snow or sunshine, brunch is in order. The decadent meal is a big-city tradition, but in smaller towns, it has been slow to replace the more sensible breakfast and lunch. Not so in Newport, where local favorite Perro Salado has reinvented traditional Mexican dishes into nuevo brunch staples. Including a tequila-based Bloody Mary and eggs Benedict served over jalapeño corn cakes and drizzled with spicy hollandaise, the menu is a mix of local ingredients and south-of-the-border flavor. Its recently opened little sister, El Perrito, puts a hip, fast-gourmet spin on tacos and enchiladas. The new eatery is standing room only and BYOCerveza, so head there to pick up a snack before going to the beach or sailing.
Newport's embrace of innovation is not confined to Thames Street. Wind farms may soon pepper the landscape of Aquidneck Island, on which the city is located, and individual turbines already do. On the food front, two nearby restaurants and two regional chefs were recently nominated for James Beard awards, and the culinary event Outstanding in the Field drew national attention for its adventurous twists on communal farm-to-table cooking and dining. The city's abundance of great seafood certainly helps. And you can find something for everyone: classic architecture, great music, beautiful harbors and beaches and a penchant for all things green. As you plan your summer getaways, keep in mind the city by the sea. After all, everything old is new(port) again.

I am older now, maybe not necessarily wiser but, I like moving my mouse to the upper left corner and going to the Bing search, the one that takes up the entire screen but I love how it lays out all the news right there in front of me by search topic. I'm still finding new things out about this OS but it's working for me.
I'm set in my ways but it seems to me that this os is quite intuitive and the two interfaces ( Modern UI and Desktop) are nice. I did however buy and install Stardocks Start8 app that puts a start menu on my desktop. Still works for me over all but Windows 8 or this windows in particular is setup just as I like it.

Unlike a lot of folks, I never found the lack of Start menu a deal-breaker, largely for the simple reason that I had begun migrating away from relying on it with Windows 7.

Lack of? Just move your mouse to the bottom left corner and left click.. viola, Start menu.

I just installed (upgraded) it yesterday from Win7 Ultimate to Win8 Pro, and so far it seems to be a pretty decent OS. I do miss the 'Recent Items' on the start menu I had in Win7, but everything else is working just fine.

Taylor Swift Accompanies Harry Styles to Tattoo Parlor as He Gets New Ink! (PHOTOS)
Taylor Swift is probably already writing a song about this.
The 23-year-old singer accompanied her latest famous boyfriend, One Direction's Harry Styles, to Shamrock Tattoo Parlor in Los Angeles on December 18 to watch the boy bander add to his ever-growing collection of nautical-themed ink.
He got two swallows tattooed on his chest in early November, and this time he opted for an elaborate pirate ship design on his upper left arm. "I like that kind of style of tattoos, like the old sailor kind of tattoos. They symbolize traveling, and we travel a lot!" he explained to Us Weekly last month.

Simple question, is it still worth it to buy an Xbox 360? It's mainly for casual play, small games, some racing sim, nothing that breaks the brain.
They sell a package right now $249 with 250Gb, Forza 4 and Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim, 1 month of XBL.
And, what would be a good, realistic racing sim? Any suggestion?
Posted 03 November 2012 - 13:40
I rotflmao-d at Forza being described as "realistic racing sim". Oh wait, this is a console derpa derp thread, my bad.
A good realistic racing sim? Forza 4 is included in the package, it's pretty much the best there is at this point.
And yeah, still very much worth it. Also Forza Horizons for slightly less realistic and more fun and csual

The Wii U is out in 14 days and is Next gen system kinda pointless at this time to get a 360 but seems you already got one now . some good games coming to the Wii U on launch + ad the fact it will be True full HD native 1080p 60 FPS for the vast majority of games on the system 3rd party games anyways 120hz tot if you count the Wii U gamepad touch screen and running games with friends on both screens separate from each other
Also notice your computers in your Sig all of them would play skyrim better and make it look better also then on the 360

Springfield developer tries to avoid foreclosureBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | November 02,2013SPRINGFIELD One of the owners of One Hundred River Street LLC said Friday he was working hard to avoid a foreclosure lawsuit filed by two banks that loaned the Springfield redevelopment project more than $3.8 million.
Richard Genderson of Washington, D.C., said the project at the former Fellows Gear Shaper site was underwater by about $86,000, but he said he had been working with both Brattleboro Savings & Loan, as well as Mascoma Savings Bank.
If late fees were not included, he said, the delinquent figure would be about $60,000.
Genderson also said the company had been unable to pay off about $500,000 in liens filed against the project from subcontractors on the project.
Brattleboro Savings & Loan, the lead lender in the project, filed a lawsuit last week in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro, seeking foreclosure on a 2011 loan to Genderson and his partners, John Meekin and Jonathan Genderson. All three men are from the Washington, D.C., area.
Genderson said earlier Friday he expected to have reached an agreement with the banks about the delinquent amount, but later in the afternoon he said bank representatives hadnt returned his calls.
The developer said the renovation of the original Fellows Gear Shaper building was much more expensive than he and Meekin anticipated when they entered a purchase-and-sale agreement in 2008 with Precision Valley Development Corp.
He said he and his partners had to spend twice what they originally expected to renovate the old industrial complex.
Liens on file at the Springfield town clerks office indicate that the $13 million project has other financial problems, some dating back to 2011.
Genderson admitted that none of the liens, totaling about $500,000, had been discharged.
He and his partners are up to date on their $33,313 annual property tax bill, according to the town office.
The building was sold for $1 in 2012 by Precision Valley. As a condition of the sale, the town gave the developers power rights to the Fellows dam, one of a series of small hydroelectric dams on the Black River in downtown Springfield.
The liens range from more than $100,000 by Irving Oil and a subsidiary, to various amounts claimed by local plumbers, electricians, fence companies and suppliers of structural steel, windows and doors.
The liens total more $500,000, and many include judgments awarded by Windsor Superior Court Judge Harold Eaton.
The largest lien was for $112,000 from Branch Group, Inc., and the second largest, $101,000, came from Rexel Holdings, an electrical materials supplier.
Genderson said the building had myriad environmental problems, which drove up the price of the project astronomically. And the collapse of the global economy in 2008 was also a big factor, he said.
The developer said the two banks have been receiving rent payments directly from Springfield Medical Care Systems and a pharmacy that moved into the former industrial complex.
Depending on other finances, he said, he was able to supplement that amount.
According to the lawsuit, filed last Thursday, Gendersons monthly payment was about $36,000.
I think we can make a deal with Mascoma. Were not giving up on this project, said Genderson, who runs a well-known liquor store in the Capitol district in Washington.
Genderson said he had talked to Daniel Yates, president of Brattleboro Savings & Loan, who told him the S&L was forced into the lawsuit by its bank partner Mascoma.
Bank officials and the lawyer who filed the lawsuit have not returned calls for comment.
Genderson said the financial problems facing the developers would not affect the Springfield Health Center or the Springfield Medical Care Systems doctors offices since they have leases.

Crash on Route 7 kills Rutland womanBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | November 27,2012A crash on an icy bridge on Route 7 killed a Rutland City woman Monday morning.
Donna M. Arnado, 43, was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews that responded to a crash near the Williams Farm in Rutland Town north of Rutland City just before 7 a.m.
Vermont State Police say Arnado was driving north in her 2002 Chevrolet Tracker when she crossed an ice-coated bridge and lost control of her vehicle. The car spun into the southbound lane and was struck by a 2004 GMC pickup driven by John M. Thomas, 54, of Rutland Town. Police say Thomas ribs were bruised during the crash and he was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
Excessive speed, drugs and alcohol were ruled out as factors in the crash, which remains under investigation, police said.
But state police Lt. Charles Cacciatore, commander of the Rutland barracks, said the vehicle may have been traveling too fast for the conditions Monday morning, which included freezing temperatures and light snow cover in some areas.
Sometimes driving at the posted speed limit is going to fast if the conditions are bad, Cacciatore said. We had a couple other crashes today all around the same time. Most of the crashes we get during bad weather conditions occur because people dont adjust their speed based on conditions.
And while the roads may not have had ice on them Monday morning, bridges, like the one just south of Williams Farm, freeze up before other road surfaces.
With a month remaining, 2012 is on pace to be a deadlier year than most on the states roadways.
In three years from 2008 to 2010, 71 to 73 people died annually on Vermont highways. In 2011 only 54 people were killed in crashes.
As of Monday, 72 people have died in crashes in 2012.
With winter conditions ahead, Betsy Ross, a spokeswoman for the Vermont Governors Highway Safety Program, said motorists need to keep the weather in mind while theyre driving.
Its always a transition, she said. It can get chaotic with black ice and speed is always a factor.
