The Sag Harbor Historical Society opens a new exhibit this weekend on the evolution of the Annie Cooper Boyd House. What do you hope to accomplish?
We want to give people an idea of what life was like when the house was first occupied in 1795, and how it evolved through various ownerships. We'll look at the house as it was first built by Joseph Whiting Foster, and including the addition Annie Cooper Boyd made in the early 1900s.
What was life like when Foster first built the house?
He and his wife lived there and they had two small children. It was a very simple life. He was probably surviving on seafood and hunting. By that time life had gotten a little simpler, they could go out and buy material, she didn't have to weave their cloth by hand. Things were becoming less restrictive for women.
The village had gotten busier, but it was still small. The Presbyterian Church had only 13 members, and they were among the first.
We don't know what he did for a living. They probably had a subsistence garden, probably a cow and a pig.
Were there many other homes in Sag Harbor at the time?
Oh yes, theere were a number of homes in Sad Harbor. His was a more modest house. There were several, bigger, ships captains homes. By 1795 Sag Harbor had pretty much recovered from the Revolution.
Children were encouraged to play more at that time. They weren't expected to do chores when they first walked. They could go down to the harbor and watch ships come in, watch ships being built. They would collect eggs. Sag Harbor was exposed to a lot of the outside world. Children would see a lot of people from all over the world.
The next owners were the Coopers. When did they come in?
William Cooper would have purchased the property about 1871. On the neighboring property he had a substantial piece of land, and his shop for building whaleboats.
Was Annie the first to make a big addition?
What was the purpose of the renovation?
Really to bring it up to date. She and her husband moved into it after it was left to her by her parents. By 1906, heating a house with three fireplaces was not practical.
How much of the history of the building will the exhibit cover?
We go from 1795 to 1998, when Nancy Willey, Annie's daughter, died and left it to the historical society.
We've never really talked about the early period of the house. We'll have sketches by Pam Lawson imagining what life was like at the earliest part. She has a sketch of the mother knitting, for example. And we'll have the model of the house as it was in 1795. And a collection of photographs from when Annie Cooper Boyd lived there going back to the early 1900s.
It's pretty remarkable, in more than 200 years, only two families lived in the house.
Yes, and not much was changed. You can still see some of the original paint, behind the layers, in some parts of the house.
The exhibit, "The Evolution of an Old Sag Harbor House – 1795-1998," opens to the public Sunday, May 27, 1-4 p.m. at the historical society's Annie Cooper Boyd House, 174 Main Street.

PJ (Angelo D'Angelo), and Goose (James Lugton) are bored Australian BMX riders whose bikes have been totaled. Setting off on an intended fishing trip with their friend Judy (Nicole Kidman), they stumble instead upon a cache of stolen police walkie-talkies, which they decide to sell for new BMX gear. Unfortunately, the radios had orginally been swiped by a murderous gang of bank robbers, with whom they soon become entangled. With no more of a plot peg than this, BMX Bandits turns into a movie-long chase. It's nonthink entertainment, true, but the biking scenes are expertly photographed and edited, so you'll be more than happy to go along for the ride.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

How Jean felt like she'd been plugged into the National Grid
Last updated at 20:31, Thursday, 10 May 2012
For years Jean Foster suffered ill health but had no idea why.
From severe anaemia and scarlet fever to tuberculosis and recurrent miscarriages, the 63-year-old went through it all.
For decades, doctors could not work out what was wrong with her.
It was only 14 years ago, when she suffered severe weight loss, that she reached a turning point.
She had no energy and even the simplest of tasks was a battle.
Then a blood test revealed that she had coeliac disease.
Jean, of North Street, Maryport, recalls: "I said 'what's that?'. The doctor said, 'I've got no idea; we'll learn about it together'."
She soon found out that the condition meant that gluten, found in wheat, barley and rye, triggered an immune reaction in her body, damaging the lining of the small intestine and causing other health problems.
Problems she had experienced in the past, from regular mouth ulcers and cold sores to the loss of three babies, were linked to the illness.
Initially she stopped eating, unsure about what was safe, but then she joined the support organisation Coeliac UK and received guidance on how to cut out gluten while maintaining a balanced diet.
Jean says: "Within weeks I felt a whole lot better.
"I felt like I'd been plugged into the National Grid. I never go to my doctor now."
Her story mirrors that of 11-year-old Harry Douglas-Brown from Workington.
Aged eight, Harry, of Stainburn Road, had several bad bouts of tonsillitis and missed a lot of school.
Then a blood test revealed it was 98 per cent certain he was coeliac.
A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and since then he has also enjoyed good health thanks to a gluten-free diet.
Neither likes to think of their condition as a disease.
Harry's father Gareth says: "It's a dis-ease until it's diagnosed but once you have got a diagnosis and you're managing it it's fine."
There are two main obstacles that coeliacs face, according to Jean and Harry.
One is making sure that the food they want to eat is suitable.
Harry has his own butter at home to avoid contamination, as even a humble bread crumb can provoke stomach cramps and sickness in a sensitive coeliac.
Jean says: "In the 14 years since I've been diagnosed, gluten-free food has come on leaps and bounds, especially the bread.
"Some of the breads I had in the early days you'd throw out for the birds and even they wouldn't eat it."
Some staple foods such as bread and pasta are available on prescription as they can cost three or four times as much as wheat-based alternatives.
The other issue is the lack of awareness among many people, which can make coeliacs feel devalued and considered an inconvenience in some cafes and restaurants.
At home Gareth cooks all the family's meals from scratch and can adapt them to meet Harry's needs.
He makes individual gluten-free pies for Harry, for example, while his parents, twin sister Georgia and four-year-old Faith, share a pie with wheat pastry.
Eating out can be more of a challenge.
Some cafes and restaurants have little or no understanding of the condition or how big an effect it can have on sufferers if the slightest bit of gluten gets into their food. Gareth says: "Some people are very responsive and very good. Others just don't seem to care."
Clear ingredients listings are key to a successful gluten-free diet and Gareth says the catch-all "may contain gluten" message which appears on many products is not helpful.
Jean is group organiser for Coeliac UK's North, East and West Cumbria support group.
As well as offering guidance to newly-diagnosed coaliacs, the group organises social gatherings and an annual food fair.
The Coeliac UK website – www.coeliac.org.uk – contains listings of places to eat out and where to buy gluten-free foods and the local group has its own section on the site.
During Coeliac Awareness Week, which runs between May 14 and May 20, group members will step up their efforts to make people aware of the condition.
THE theme of this year's Coeliac Awareness Week is challenge and coeliacs across the country are challenging others to live with a strict gluten-free diet for a week.Support worker Jean Foster has challenged the Times & Star's chief reporter Sarah Nicholls.Armed with a box of staple foods and booklets about the do's and don'ts of gluten-free eating, Sarah will be reporting on her experience on her half marathon training blog at www.timesandstar.co.ukOthers taking up the challenge include Keswick chef Peter Sidwell and a group of dieticians from Whitehaven's West Cumberland Hospital.

Have your say
I remember a friend of mine years ago was diagnosed with the same thing. For years she had felt ill to varying degrees and it became a joke among her family, 'Oh dear, [she's] ill again', (No names obviously). When she found out what she had she said that she had gone to see her family and told them what she thought of the fact that they had never believed her, even though she felt so ill at times she could hardly function. She felt so good about herself after that it was a joy to see. Everything she had said was proved to be true.
Well done Jean getting the message across - and well done to Harry, for showing its children who get diagnosed too. Shows just how capable people can be with such a significant dietary change in their lives!!

The unabridged audio books need to be republished as at the moment you can only get them second hand from £50-300 which is insane. Although even the rrp was a bit to high I think.
They are all available in physical form direct from Isis,the publishers at www.isis-publishing.co.uk/ or as downloads from Audible.co.uk
I hope this helps

See all my reviews
Great cycling shoe for overall general use. I feel comfortable with the shoes on and off the bike. If I ride to work in the shoe, I do not have to change into another shoe without a cleat. The best feature is the Volume plus last. I'm a tweener berween a D width and a E width. I wear a size USA 10.5 and a Euro 45. This MTN 33 is a fine fit. Happy feet provide for a better day. It also fits both the Shimano M520 and the A530 pedals I purchased.

Shimano MT33 Mountain Shoes
By E.B
from Pasadena. CA
Although they feel like half a size too small, but they fit just fine. I'm glad i did not get one size bigger, it would have been a tad long. Overall, the shoes fit and look great and they gave me the support needed to paddle hard uphills. Would definitely recommend them and would buy them again!.
cant beat the price.

from Bayville nj
Great shoe. There more comfortable than regular mountain bike shoes. And you can were them with or without the cleats.They're agreat buy
I like these shoes
By snowflake
from Port Angeles, WA
I could not tell about the durability of the shoes, as I just bought them, but having the same kind in the past, I am confident that these will last long. I use these mostly riding on paved roads, although occasionally they see dirt roads also. Always pleased to buy these for comfortable walking as opposed to prancing on cleats that make walking awkward. Also,I like the clever feature of hiding the shoestring under the elastic loop.
excellent quality for the price
By bmxoldguy
from Escondido, CA.
Extremely well made for the money, and simple to set up. An excellent way to try clipless. Totally satisfied.
Great shoe; runs small
By mospeedracer
from Washington, DC
I really like these shoes. They look good. They are very comfortable. And they have a nice, stiff sole that transfers power well. They run very small. I had to order up a whole size from my regular shoe size and even from an older pair of Shimanos that I had.
Nice Product
By illinois cycling

Bought these for an indoor cycling class and they have been great. Perfect for those that like the look of a regular shoe. Fast shipping...no complaints.

Here in New England: Brendan Loughlin
- Login to add to Favorites

See the artist demonstrate his Pastac technique.
The boy's name is Brendan Loughlin. It is the 1950s, and he lives in Wallingford, Connecticut. He loves to draw, and escapes what he later calls "a working-class dysfunctional family" by hiding out in the woods, drawing cars and airplanes.
As a teenager, when his buddies talk about horsepower, he gushes about design — the wraparound windshields, the grilles, the taillights.
Brendan marries at 21 and has two daughters. He buries his dreams of becoming an artist. He drives trucks, moves into shipping and receiving, sells restaurant equipment — trying one thing after another, hoping to find a fit. Eventually he starts a one-man company refinishing and spray-painting kitchen cabinets. Still, a dank depression settles in, and he feels as though he is "in the teeth of a beast." After 20 years his marriage ends.
He marries again, and now he has a son and another daughter. His second wife has an art degree, and her shelves are full of art books. Brendan pores over them, studying, learning everything he can about the history of art. One day, in his mid-forties, he takes a T-shirt and paints a tiger's head on it. "I loved it," he says now. "I knew it was good, really good." His wife tells him it's terrible; she locks up her paints and says he is not to touch them again. In time, there is a second divorce.
Winter, 1992. His life feels like a constant cold chill. His mother in West Haven is living alone, sick with diabetes, and he moves into a second-floor room to look after her. His kitchen cabinet business founders. When he's not caring for his mother, he seeks solace reading art books in his room. In the fall of 1994 he starts, hesitantly, to paint: "I told myself, I have to be able to do portraits to know if I'm a painter. I will allow myself one hour to draw a portrait. I found a photo in a magazine of Bill and Hillary Clinton. I got a pencil, I looked at the clock, and then I started shaking. I was a bundle of nerves. Finally I released the fear, and bam, it happened. I did a drawing and I liked it. I said to myself, 'I am now an artist.'"
By 1997 Brendan's mother is too ill for him to care for on his own, and she moves into a nursing home. He works in the men's department at Filene's, but it doesn't take. "I had no idea how to make a living," he says. He loses his car. The electricity is shut off, then the phone; and then the bank auctions the house. He must vacate it by Thanksgiving. He is 57; everything he owns fits into two canvas sacks, and he stuffs them into his daughter's car, where at times he is forced to sleep. He moves into the basement of a friend's home, until he finds sporadic housesitting jobs. When he sleeps, he dreams of painting.
He works part-time at a paint store in Madison, and also at the Guilford Handcraft Center, registering students for classes. At night, after locking up, he secretly sleeps on the floor, slipping out before sunrise. He remains certain that he "was meant to paint. I had the feeling this was going to happen for me." In 1998 he moves into a one-room apartment in Guilford, telling the landlord that he's an artist with no money, no security deposit, and no credit. The landlord takes a chance and rents him the room.
In the spring of 1999, to clear his head, he takes a bus to St. John, New Brunswick, and finds a cheap furnished room — "the kind bachelors rent for a month," he says. He brings with him a drawing pad and pencils. "I was lying in bed," he remembers, "sketching with a pencil, when I saw my future." He buys chalk pastels and B-I-N, a shellac-based primer-sealer that he'd used when spray-painting cabinets. He mixes the pastels with the shellac and loves the texture, the explosion of color, how he can paint layer upon layer, the picture drying within moments. The pastels and B-I-N cost a fraction of what oils do. He trembles with excitement: "I was all by myself, nobody to talk to about it. I said, 'I'm going to take this back. This is how I will paint.'" He returns to Guilford and is promptly put in jail for missing a child-support hearing. His landlord bails him out. He finds work refinishing wooden boats. He becomes a familiar figure on the streets of downtown Guilford, in his tattered, paint-splattered jeans and loose shirts, always smiling and chatting with passersby, experimenting day after day with his pastels and shellac.

I LOL'd.
Putting Frank Mir on a UFC card celebrating motorcycles is just mean.— Lactor: Acid Monster (@AcidicLactor) September 1, 2013
This fight is unfair, and quite illegal under commission standards. Barnett only weighs 155lbs, I saw it on the UFC, so it must be true.
Edit: my drunk posting skills are clearly too slow.
You gotta think Mir wants to keep this on the feet, no?
oVERAted strikes again haha...
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
War Mir, let's get this W!
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
These are the same sorts of shots that Carwin and Lesnar annihilated Mir with.
Mir's striking defense always makes me cringe
"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."

- How to Read a Study Record
To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volumes and severity of psychotic symptoms in a population of psychosis patients compared to healthy age/gender matched volunteers. Psychosis patients often suffer from a number of cognitive difficulties, including poor memory function, poor problem-solving capacity and difficulties with attention and concentration. These problems are not well addressed by current clinical treatments. Evidence from aging research strongly suggests that increased cardiovascular fitness may provide numerous cognitive benefits by promoting brain growth, particularly in the frontal lobes and the hippocampi. The current study will measure the effects of aerobic exercise on brain volumes in a population of chronic psychosis patients to determine if 1) hippocampal volumes increase in response to exercise and 2) if parallel improvements in cognitive functioning occur.
Schizoaffective Disorder
Poor Memory
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Brain Health: Effects of Exercise on Hippocampal Volume and Memory Deficits in Persons With Schizophrenia
- Increase hippocampal volume with aerobic training in schizophrenic and healthy volunteers. [ Time Frame: Base-line, 8 and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Hippocampal volumes will be measured from structural MRI scans. T1-weighted 3D SPGR (spoiled gradient recalled) and high-resilution T2- weighted structural images will be obtained for the purposes of volumetric assessment of the hippocampi and the whole brain
- Increases in hippocampal volumes will be positively associated with improvements in working memory performance in schizophrenia. [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, 8 and 12. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT), will be used to assess memory function. Multiple versions of the HVLT exist (12) so practice effects will be minimized. The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF), in which subjects are asked to reproduce a complex line drawing from memory, will be used to assess attention and working memory.

On Tuesday, Feb. 26, Sony Computer Entertainment and Naughty Dog made "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" available for download off the PlayStation Store in addition to the game's multiplayer going to a free-to-play model.
While the multiplayer aspect of "Uncharted 3" is available as a free download, those who have not yet purchased "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" may consider purchasing the full title off the PlayStation Store.
Naughty Dog and Sony have made "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition" available for digital purchase from the in-game store. This digital version of the game includes all twelve downloadable maps, all Co-Op multiplayer modes, and over forty character skins.
Though bursting with content, the digital version of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" will also take a hefty toll on your PS3 HDD. Those interested in downloading the full "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition" package will need 87GB of free HDD space -- the download itself will only be 43.5GB.
For most, the digital version of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" may be too large. If you haven't played "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" and are willing to download 43.5GB of game data, this is the deal you've been waiting for.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:54

: Outdoor School :
The Glen Helen experience is a field trip your students will always remember. Our Outdoor School program immerses students of all ages in the natural world, allowing them to explore, discover, and develop an appreciation for nature.
Primarily serving grades 4-7, but open to any, students and their teachers come to the Glen for a three or four day experience. The Outdoor School curriculum closely corresponds to Ohio Academic Content Standards to support and complement teacher classroom instruction in Science, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts.
Each day, trail groups venture into the 1,000 acre outdoor classroom with their Naturalists, where students learn about the environment, and about how to protect it through hands-on teaching methods. During their time in the Glen, students will:
Search for macroinvertebrates in streams to determine water health.
Explore native ecosystems to connect with their natural environment.
Observe animal adaptations first hand with our reptile animal ambassadors.
Discover the nocturnal world, hiking through the Glen after sunset.
Experience the Ohio frontier in the late 1700s, meeting people such as Betty Zane and Tecumseh.
Learn about our resident owls, hawks, eagles, and vultures at the nearby Raptor Center.
Work together to meet wasted food goals in the dining hall.
Our emphasis on cooperation and teamwork transfers seamlessly back to the classroom; students leave the Glen more tolerant and trusting of their classmates, and more willing to work together. For a closer look at the Outdoor Education Center and our academic Outdoor School program, meet the Outdoor Education staff, and see what teachers, students, and parents have to say about the Glen Helen experience!

The patent is an iconic one, but just one that Apple uses among hundreds of others related to multitouch tech in its legal proceedings, including those against Motorola and Samsung. And aside from the fact that it is still only one among a number of patents that Apple claims have been infringed by other smartphone OEMs, it's also true that at this stage, a first Office action like the one issued by the USPTO is far from the final word on things, and in fact, once a reassessment of a granted patent is allowed as it was in this case, this kind of rejection of claims is actually pretty common.
This particular reexamination request was actually rejected once before in 2010, but once granted, chances were in its favor that some kind of rejection of the patent claims would come back. First office actions often include a rejection of some or all claims asserted in a patent, and some sources suggest that patent examiners tend to favor an approach that errs on the side of the arguments made initially by the party that filed the complaint, since they aren't getting the original patent filer's input during their first pass. This is also an ex parte reexamination, which means that the complaining party won't be involved in the rest of the reexamination process, while Apple will have the opportunity to defend its original claim.

The heyday of "big-bore" production-based sports car racing was a period between the late '50s and the early '70s. These glorious cars were loud, obnoxious, and incredibly fast. Nearly every weekend, fans in some part of the country went wild over the intense competition between Corvettes and Cobras, and a few high-priced European cars like the E-type Jaguar. The various manufacturers battled, sometimes openly and sometimes surreptitiously, over who owned the track.
But what happened to these old racers over the years? Many cars didn't survive the intense competition, being destroyed in multi-car pile-ups or an unfortunate solo encounter with a wall. A few may have been converted for street duty, others were handed down and modified to meet ever-changing class rules until they were too obsolete to be competitive in any venue, and a fortunate handful ended up forgotten in a barn or garage, only to be rediscovered years later.
This 1966 Chevy Corvette roadster, which is now on its eighth owner, has been raced since it was brand new. It was originally ordered in November 1965 by one Lynn Butler, through Gordon Wilson Chevrolet in Salt Lake City. The order sheet specified an L72 427/425 big-block, a M22 "Rock Crusher" four-speed, heavy-duty ignition, heavy-duty suspension, heavy-duty power disc brakes, and Silver Pearl paint.
Immediately upon delivery, it was shipped to Bruno's Corvette Repair in Studio City, California, where all street equipment was removed and replaced with racing gear like a rollbar, 3-inch lap belts and SCCA-approved safety harnesses, and racing shocks. The original front clip was cut off in the center of the front wheelwells, and a lightweight replacement was grafted on. A scattershield replaced the stock bellhousing, and the engine was sent to famed racing engine builder Traco for a full blueprinting. The finished racer, nicknamed "Leonard," was returned to Gordon Wilson Chevrolet, joining two other Sting Rays as the "In Team" under the dealer's sponsorship. Shortly thereafter, all three were painted white with matching paint schemes, and "Leonard" was assigned #14 to compete in SCCA's A-Production class.
Lynn Butler only competed in regional events, but was considered a threat to the national competitors as he made his mark in A-Production competition. Butler was a 25-year-old rookie race driver, but possessed an innate, natural skill at manhandling the potent Sting Ray around road courses in the region. "Butler...guided the sleek Corvette around the blacktop like a tested veteran," a Salt Lake City Tribune sports writer wrote at that time. Butler campaigned the Vette until 1970, when he sold it in favor of a newer and more competitive Corvette.
The car changed hands three times over the next 10 years, but its racing record during that period is a little foggy. In 1980, "Leonard" was purchased by Mark Kiesel, who extensively reworked it to compete in SOLO II events by adding huge fender flares to accommodate 10-inch-wide rubber in front and 11-inchers in the rear. The stripped, stock interior was replaced by polished aluminum panels and a fiberglass racing seat. The obsolete single-hoop rollbar was replaced with a full cage and five-point harness. At some point in the prior decade, the original big-block had disappeared, so Kiesel fitted a 500-plus-hp 355ci small-block in its place. The car was finished off with a silver and blue paint scheme and a ridiculous (though appropriate for the era) set of shark teeth in the grill opening, apparently to go with the car's bad attitude. Mark successfully competed in SOLO II events until 1987, when he passed it along to its sixth owner.

Olive Wood - The Holy Tree
Out of all materials used to make religious icons, nothing has the appeal and religious ancestry of olive wood. In the Bible after the Last Supper, Jesus prays under an olive tree in the Garden of Gethsemane and the olive tree is mentioned over a thousand times in the Bible. In the Psalms it is identified as being symbolic of peace.
In fact, the first mention of the olive tree comes from Genesis, the very first book of the Bible. The dove released from the Ark by Noah returns clutching an olive twig in its beak, showing that olive wood is a symbol of God's forgiveness and reconciliation with man. On Palm Sunday, in Jerusalem, olive branches are taken to the church to be blessed and placed in homes.
Religious icons made from olive wood will hold special importance for many customers who are in touch with the spiritual connotations of this special tree. Revelation 22:2 says "…the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations". Offering customers icons made from this special tree offers them the symbolism of healing and peace to display in their homes, churches or offices.
Because the highest quality of olive wood only grows in the Holy Land due to the particular climate the land provides, religious icons made from this special tree can drive customer sales and increase profit margins. Carving this wood requires specialized training and equipment. This specialization means that customers are paying for the quality of the wood and the specialized creation of the particular icon they are interested in.
Olive wood was used most often in ancient times for wood carving and was the wood Jesus would have learned to carve as a child. Olive wood from the Holy Land used for carving religious icons is collected from pruning young trees or collecting the sprouts of old trees that are no longer productive. By doing this, growers and carvers insure that no trees are harmed and these special, holy trees are protected from damage.
By marketing olive wood to customers, a business can demonstrate their connection to the ancestry of Christianity. It's easy to increase the bottom line with this beautiful wood and the quality of religious icons made from this special tree will have customers coming back for more.
Durability is another fantastic trait of olive wood. Due to the high number of grains in the wood, it is known to be resilient and durable, requiring very sharp, specialized tools for carving. Knowing that their particular religious icon is carved not only from this holy, symbolic tree but will last the ages, will create higher profit margins as customers choose the higher quality of olive wood over lesser materials.
Olive wood is a unique, treasured material for carved religious icons. It's ancestry and tradition is contained throughout the Bible and it's symbolism of peace and forgiveness is recognized by Christians throughout the globe. Offering this special wood for religious icons can increase sales, bring in return customers and showcase the quality and spirituality of any religious icon business.

Candidate qualifying for elections in Lynn Haven,
Many races proceed uncontested but others are starting to heat up.
A recent issue to arise for Ward 4 of Panama City is the application of the city's events handbook to a major attraction to the area – the St. Andrews Farmers Market. The city has asked for a list of vendors in order to collect a 1 percent tax on most products. Organizers have said the rule threatens the future of the farmers market. According to incumbent Commissioner Mike Nichols, the city collected a vendor list in the past but at some point stopped.
"I've been due diligently working with them during the course of this defining what the codes are that our staff has to follow," Nichols said. "We don't want the market to go but we have guidelines that everybody needs to follow because we can't break a rule for one business – and the farmers market is a business."
Nichols said he has met with organizers to address concerns and needs. At the moment, the city currently allows two options for the market: supply a vendor list or have vendors individually fill out business permits.
"If you're a business, you're a business," Nichols said. "If the rule book says this, then those are the rules. And if those rules are wrong, let's discuss it."
Challenging candidate for Ward 4, Les Nelson, also disagreed with tax exemptions.
"I still say don't give an exemption to anyone," Nelson said. "I would work together with the Waterfront Partnership to make it easier to provide the city with a vendor list and for the vendors to pay their taxes."
Nelson suggested the city be responsible for collection.
"That is part of the city's responsibility to go down there and see who's there," Nelson said. "As a commissioner, if nobody wants to do it, I'll do it."
Other municipal races already in contention are
Parker Mayor Tonya Barrow is being challenged by Rich Musgrave. Seats 1 and 3 of the Parker Council will be decided between John Haney, Joseph Ken Jones, James Morris and Carmen Shirely.
Mexico Beach Council Group 2 incumbent, Lanny Howell, is being challenged by Jeff Tendler. Mayor Al Cathey is running unopposed, as is Council Group 3 incumbent Jack Mullen.
Lynn Haven incumbent commissioners John Ashbrook, of Seat 4, and Roger P. Schad, of seat 3, are running unopposed.
Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki and Ward 1 Commissioner John Kady are also running unopposed.
"This is the final step in being prepared for the ballot," said Bay County Supervisor of Elections Mark Andersen. "This is where they can come in and pay the qualifying fee or sign up or take a step in that direction."
Fees vary from each city depending on the city's charter. After Friday at noon the races are set.

'The Gray Seasons'Event Details: 6:30 p.m., November 15, Tivoli
The Gray Seasons, an emotional and award-winning documentary of the Saint Louis University women's basketball team, will be shown at the St. Louis International Film Festival at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Tivoli.
Director Robert Herrera, director of photography David Rocco and Coach Shimmy Gray-Miller will be in attendance for the Q&A following the screening.
Critics have called this documentary a "rival to the classic Hoop Dreams," and a "brutally honest" story that is "touching," "compelling" and "inspiring."
The Gray Seasons focuses on Saint Louis University women's basketball, a longstanding Division I program with a lack of tradition and success. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds of overcoming the losing culture of the program, Shimmy Gray-Miller, a young, dynamic coach with a personal history of playing and coaching success, is brought in to turn things around. She embarks on her first head-coaching position and is armed with her first class of determined recruits. Driven to change the trajectory of the basketball program, the team sets their sights on success, attempting to pull SLU from its last place conference standings to a conference contender.
The film features music composed, produced and performed by Fayetteville resident John Kelley. Kelley is a career fine artist and musician, who has worked on several music projects with Herrera over the past decade. He has enjoyed success playing with several bands in the Austin music scene and as a solo artist. He is currently finishing his MFA in drawing/painting at the University of Arkansas.
The Gray Seasons won Best Editing-Feature at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and took an Honorable Mention at the L.A. Art House Film Festival. Additionally, the movie has been featured at festivals across the country including San Antonio, Cincinnati, Louisville, Paducah and Fayetteville.

There was some discussion about finding a CMS that uses CSS layout at the last meeting. I did a little looking around for CMS projects that advertise CSS layout as a feature -- There aren't many. What I did find is that there are some CMSs that have a "theme" feature that is flexible enough that some people have started to create CSS layout based themes. Here are a few that I found:
There is a "tableless" theme. Not too much more information about it.
Someone was working on a tableless theme.
It looks like they are looking at trying to eliminate tables in this CMS in future versions.
I'm sure there are many others.

Windows Phone Development
I started regularly participating in the
forums about 3 years ago, when I became interested in Silverlight. I really got into it once I saw how I could help people, and I became a moderator a few months later. Currently, I'm particularly active in the forum dedicated to Windows Phone, but I also like to write articles and speak at technical sessions during events such as Microsoft TechDays.
I especially enjoy sharing my Windows Phone experience through technical sessions. I try to slip a bit of humor into my presentations to make sure that the audience not only (hopefully) learns something, but also has a good time.
After developing a Gameboy emulator for Windows Phone, I got alot of messages from users thanking me for making it possible for them to play the games of their childhood again. I think the best compliment for a developer, however, is the number of downloads their application gets. It's what keeps us going and makes us keep updating our apps!
I am, first and foremost, passionate about development. I started out by learning BASIC, then systems integration, then C/C++, and finally, C#. I tried quite a few different careers in IT before ending up in development – machine monitor, system and network administrator, consultant – but development is in my DNA. Now, I'm a development and innovation manager at Naviso, and development is my main concern. As you can probably guess, I'm proud to be a developer!
For me, XAML is the most exciting technology I've ever seen. Its ability to change visuals while still keeping its basic functions make it an extremely powerful tool for graphic interface developers. XAML achieves its full potential when used with Blend and Visual Studio, giving developers a simple and efficient tool and offering users really interactive interfaces.
Becoming an MVP means being recognized as a person who enjoys sharing their knowledge. These days, being a technical whiz isn't enough. You also have to know how to share your knowledge through different media, like forums, Facebook groups, press articles or speaking at sessions. My advice for becoming an MVP is to be able to socialize with people who share the same passion for Microsoft technologies, and to love doing it!
Like many, I think that development communities go beyond just simple information sharing. You form friendships with the people you meet through them, virtually or in real life. I know quite a few people whose lives have been changed by this, including mine. J

By John McMullen, NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - AFC West rivals meet on Monday night in Southern California when the division-leading San Diego Chargers host Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Manning has been solid, save for one game in Atlanta, during his debut season in Denver but his play hasn't translated to a consistent winning environment just yet.
The future Hall of Famer, who missed the entire 2011 season in Indianapolis after multiple neck surgeries, is currently fourth in the NFL with a 101.2 passer rating but the Broncos arrive in Ron Burgundy's city under .500 after Manning lost his latest duel with Tom Brady and the Patriots back on Oct. 7.
In the matchup of two of the game's marquee quarterbacks, it was the Patriots' ground game which proved to be the difference when second-year running back Stevan Ridley rushed for a career-high 151 yards and one touchdown, helping New England beat Denver, 31-21, at Gillette Stadium.
Manning, who threw three touchdown passes to Brady's one and outgained his New England counterpart, 345-223, had a chance to make it a one-possession game late. But, on 2nd-and-10 from the 14-yard line, Manning handed the ball off to Willis McGahee and New England's Rob Ninkovich forced his second fumble of the game to squelch any thoughts of a comeback.
"There are a lot of what-ifs," Manning said. "The key is that we learn from them and hopefully we can respond next week with the win."
Demaryius Thomas was Manning's favorite target in Foxboro, making nine grabs for a game-high 188 yards. McGahee had 51 yards on 14 carries and totaled the same amount of yards on five catches for Denver.
The Broncos, who have lost three of four after a season-opening win over Pittsburgh, are tied for 28th in the NFL with a minus-6 turnover differential.
"I don't have any secret answer for you," Manning said when talking about the miscues this week. "Just need to protect the ball better. That's the simple and short of it. We focused on ball security today. It's a point of emphasis for us. It needs to start in practice and then carry over to the game as well."
Manning, who threw three interceptions in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta back on Sept. 17, has completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 1,013 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions during his last three games.
"He's gotten a lot better," Broncos coach John Fox said. "He's gotten more comfortable. His teammates have gotten more comfortable with him and vice versa."
San Diego and Philip Rivers are also coming off a loss to one of the game's great quarterbacks.
The Saints' Drew Brees broke a 52-year-old record in the first quarter and then orchestrated a 10-point comeback in the second half as New Orleans downed the Chargers, 31-24, on Oct. 7.
Brees threw a touchdown pass in his 48th straight game in that one, snapping Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas' mark of 47 that stood since 1960.
Rivers went 27-for-42 through the air for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for San Diego, which was looking to go 3-0 on the road this season.
"I can't tell you how tough it is to lose a game like this," Rivers said. "We were right there. We were up by 10 points and just didn't get it done. We have a great team, a championship-caliber team, but we have to win close games like this."
Ryan Mathews carried the ball 12 times for 80 yards and a score, and added 59 yards on six receptions in defeat.
"They are outstanding offensively and they made plays when they had to," Chargers coach Norv Turner said of the Saints. "We had a couple errors on our penalties that cost us obviously a great deal late in the game. You can't make those kinds of errors and we'll learn from them."
The Broncos lead the all-time series with San Diego 55-48-1 but the Chargers have taken nine of the past 12. Denver did end a four-game losing streak to San Diego with a 16-13 overtime win on Nov. 27 last season.
Both quarterbacks are capable of putting up some gaudy numbers so the spotlight will be on a pair of defenses that have been spotty this season.
The units are nearly identical, giving up 334.0 yards per game (Chargers) and 335.2 (Broncos), respectively. They go about it in different ways, however.
The Chargers have the NFL's fifth-ranked rush defense, allowing an average of 74.0 yards, and struggle against the pass. Even the stout run defense is suspect against Denver, however, since McGahee is the only opposition back to pass the century make in San Diego's last 12 games.
Free safety Eric Weddle and cornerbacks Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason have all been playmakers with the Chargers but the consistency has not been there. Manning will test the DBs early and often.
"He looks awfully good to me," Turner said when discussing Manning and whether his physical skills have declined. "People can start that debate all they want but he knows how to play the position. He knows how to move the football and who to throw it to. You don't get style points in this league for spirals or how hard or far the ball goes. You get points by putting drives together and scoring points."
Manning, on the other hand, seems to be impressed by the numbers the Chargers have on defense.
"They play a lot of guys," the veteran said. "That speaks to their depth, which is impressive. They're flying around, they play fast."
The Broncos' D is a little stingier against the pass thanks to a solid rush and the aging but still productive Champ Bailey leading their defensive backfield.
"I mean he's just a heck of a corner," Rivers said when discussing Bailey. "He has great instincts and great ball skills. He obviously is super knowledgeable of the game. He has a great deal of experience. When you watch him on tape he still matches up with who they seem to think is the top receiver. He's having a heck of a year."
Matthews showed some juice last week in NOLA and Denver is susceptible to the run but the Chargers like to exploit what they get with Antonio Gates and the rangy Malcom Floyd, who are always matchup problems for the opposition thanks to their size and ball skills.
In his career, Manning has won 11 of his 15 Monday starts and has a 96.3 passer rating in those contests.
"I think everybody's always excited to play in that environment, but I don't think we need that to get motivated and to get as prepared as we possibly can for this game because it is a division game," Manning said.
Conversely, Rivers has also been solid on Mondays, compiling a 7-3 mark with 17 touchdowns and a gaudy 105.2 passer rating in those games. Perhaps more importantly Rivers almost always excels vs. the Broncos. He's 9-3 against Denver, completing 64.4 percent of his passes and throwing 20 touchdowns -- his most versus any team.
Expect more of the same this time.
"Monday night I expect our fans to have a big part in it," Turner said. "(The Broncos) are an off-the-line or a no-huddle team and the crowd can affect that greatly."
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Chargers 27, Broncos 24
