Herne Hill Harriers stalwart Wilson is awarded life membership
4:00pm Saturday 3rd November 2012 in Athletics
Herne Hill Harriers' Dave Wilson has been awarded life memberships at the club's presentation evening.
The accolade is in recognition of nearly 30 years as an athlete, team manager, official and field referee.
The club's top athletes were awarded best performance trophies throughout the age groups, which were given to English Schools, national champions and internationals.
The club has enjoyed one of its most successful years with 14 of the club's athletes ranked in the top 10 in the country in their events.
This year has seen both the club's senior track teams being promoted in their national track and field leagues with the men's teams joining the elite of the British League Premiership and the women's team in the top 16 in the country in the UK womens league.

Associated Press
The Baltimore Ravens' victory over the San Francisco 49ers has set a record for highest overnight ratings in Super Bowl history.
The Nielsen company reported the game scored a 48.1 rating and 71 share in its select measurement of big cities. That's 1 percent over a similar measurement in last year's game.
For three years in a row, the Super Bowl has set a new record for most-watched event in U.S. television history. Nielsen is expected to have an estimate of how many people watched the game later on Monday.
One ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share means that 71 percent of TVs that were on at the time were tuned to the Super Bowl.

If I had to guess, I'd say Woodland-Henry's volleyball team has no idea what it is walking into. No, the team probably knows how good Southeast Whitfield is. The Lady Raiders are ranked second in the Ga.PrepCoun-try.com Class 4A coaches poll, and have been for a while.
But the Southeast fans? When it comes to them, Woodland doesn't have a clue.
There were two stories to be told after Southeast's win Tuesday against Jonesboro in the second round of the Class 4A state playoffs. The first was about how important the victory was for the program. The other was about the Southeast crowd — specifically, the student section — providing one of the best home-court advantages I've seen at a high school sporting event. And if that same advantage is there at 5:30 p.m. Saturday when Southeast hosts Woodland in the quarterfinals, the result could be similar.
"I've never seen a student section like that at a volleyball game," said Southeast coach Jake Dickey, who built up a sweat during the match that was still noticeable for the post-game interview, after the team's practice on Thursday.
"The only thing I can think that even comes close to it is one of my first years I went to (watch) the state championship and it was Marist and Woodward. There were about a 100 Marist kids and 100 Woodward kids right next to one another. Aside from that, as far as one crowd for one team, I haven't seen anything like that."
There were the standing ovations after each momentum-shifting rally went the Lady Raiders' way. Then there was each fun chant — even I, an unbiased onlooker, couldn't help myself from tapping my foot to the always catchy "Y-E-L-L, Y-E-L-L everybody yell, 'Go Raiders!" How about the student section shifting in unison — Dickey estimated at least 200 home supporters in crammed gymnasium bleachers that are less than 10 feet from the action — to the other side of the gymnasium for the final game just to be behind the Southeast bench?
"It was intense," said Michael Izaguirre, a Southeast football player who was part of the student section Tuesday and plans to be again on Saturday. "Obviously we know all the girls on the team, so it means a lot to us. We're used to seeing them win pretty handily. It didn't feel like a normal volleyball game, though. It was intense."
Give at least some credit to Raiders football coach Sean Gray for making it mandatory for his team to attend the match.
"We practiced Tuesday morning for about 45 minutes and then Tuesday evening for about an hour and a half, so we didn't miss anything," Gray said. "We're just trying to build up community pride and school pride."
After Jonesboro won the second game to tie the match at one game apiece and took a 10-3 lead in the third game, the crowd never let up.
Even when Jonesboro's athleticism seemed to be too much, the students never shut up.
It had an effect on the home squad.
"It means a lot to us to have our fans there," junior Serena Ramsey said after the game, "because it helped us keep our heads up."
After Southeast rallied to grab a 2-1 lead in games won, the jubilation that was on the Jonesboro side was replaced with unforced errors and serves hitting the net. Meanwhile, Southeast made sure the crowd's effort was part of a happy ending.
"The louder we got, the better (the team) played," Izaguirre said.
Yes, the crowd had at least some hand in Tuesday's win. And yes, fifth-ranked Woodland — the Area 3 champion — is probably walking into something it has not seen before.
"I talked to the Jonesboro coach and he said, 'Man, if you have that crowd, then you'll get in their head,'" Dickey said. "The Jonesboro girls I think were a little used to it because they had basketball players (who had played in the state semifinals before). He said the Woodland players probably won't be as used to that.
"What's neat is the kids at school, I hear them talking about it and their friends say, 'Well, I'm going to come Saturday.' It might multiply."
There's no reason it shouldn't. Southeast has already had a good season, winning its second straight area title, and has a real shot at something special. This is now the farthest the program has gone in the state playoffs and playing in front of a vocal and influential home crowd does nothing but help the team's chances.
"(Woodland) will probably come in thinking it will be pretty close and probably think they will win," senior setter Hannah Graham said Thursday. "Once they get in here, our huge crowd will be here, and they will be like, 'Whoa, I've never seen this before.' ... It intimidates people. If we walked in somewhere with a big crowd, we'd say (the same)."
Time for your curtain call, Southeast.

Many people say that when you know how to speak English, you can reach any place you could imagine without getting into so much trouble. Luckily, most countries today include learning English in their school curriculums. But in case you don't live in one of those countries, here are some helpful tips for you. Learning this language will be sweat-free if you apply effective techniques and while it's not mandatory for every person to know all about it, a couple of English words in your vocabulary would be very helpful. So, how do you go about it? Here are a couple of tips you might want to consider.
Start watching films with English subs
Who wouldn't like to watch movies? Apparently, it's not only for leisure purposes but it's also a great start to getting familiar with English. In case you're not into reading, you can purchase a couple of DVDs with English subtitles and in no time, you'll be able to work your way through the maze. You might want to consider listing down the words that strike you and later on check an English dictionary and also a translation book to get better understanding of the word.
Read, read and read
It doesn't have to be books of long novels with lengthy lines. Just read anything in English and do the same mandatory rule of learning just about any language – list down the words the strike you. Reading is of great help to feed your mind but aside from the information and learnings you get, reading is also an effective tool to discover another language. You can start from short paragraphs or even from your horoscope in an English newspaper. The idea here to widen your vocabulary rather than to learn the grammar itself. It's a lot easier to learn if you're already familiar with the words, instead of going advance and learning the grammar rules first-hand.
Consider writing a blog
Blogging is another modern and effective way to learn anything- yes, anything. You can write about anything you've learned about English and once you make this a habit, the next thing you know you are already writing in English language. With blogging, many people can read your write-ups and they can also comment on it. They can help you with your English learning endeavour and everything about it will be a lot easier. Plus, you also get to inspire people with different languages to consider learning English as well.
Listen to podcasts
There are hundreds and thousands of ESL podcasts available in the internet today. Many of them are free to download. Similar to movies, this is the solution if you're not into reading. But unlike the movies, there are podcasts to learn English actually teaches you about it – words, grammar, everything. You don't have to deal with the drama of understanding your new word of the day by yourself because these podcasts will give you a good dose of information. Because there are free to download, you can repeat it over and over to clarify the accent and correct pronunciation of a word.

Update 7:19 p.m.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to travel to Newtown to meet the families of victims killed in Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and to thank first responders, according to a press release issued by the White House.
"The President will also speak at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims as well as families from Sandy Hook Elementary School scheduled for 7 p.m.," the press release said. "More details will be released as they are available."
According to the Hartford Courant, Obama will not make any public appearances during his visit.
Original Story:
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton Tweeted that the helicopters people heard over Danbury today were an advance team setting up for a possible presidential visit early next week.
"We don't know when at this point," Boughton said.
The helicopters visited Danbury Municipal Airport and other locations in the city. The mayor didn't know if the helicopters visited Newtown yet.
"Those helicopters you hear are the Presidential advance team. No details on what day the President is coming," was one of the mayor's Tweets.
Airport Administrator Paul Estefan declined to say anything at all about the helicopters or the president or any visit. Estefan said when President Clinton visited Danbury, the advance team arrived three months before the visit.
"They are scouting landing locations. He's not with them," Boughton Tweeted, referring to the president.
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting began at about 9:30 a.m. Friday. In all, 27 people were killed, police said, including 20 children. Among the adults killed were the school's beloved principal and psychologist.
The identities of all victims have been established, according to State Police Spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance. Families of those killed have asked that no media members press them for interviews.

I am aghast at opinions voiced recently from far-right politicians concerning what should be done about women who are impregnated by rape or incest.
These politicians insist that the woman must carry the pregnancy to term. At the moment of conception, she is seen to be carrying a full-fledged person, endowed with more rights than she.
And, of course, all of the responsibility for the child – financial and otherwise – falls squarely on the mother.
If it is so very important that every pregnancy result in a live birth, and if they grouse subsequently about taxpayers' having to foot the bill for the offspring, then ...
Wait for it ...
Why in the world don't they go after the fathers?
They should be busy drafting bills that would force fathers to live up to their financial responsibilities. Let fathers pay the hospital and doctor bills. Let them pay full child support until the child is 18. Let them foot the bill for college or trade school. But – and this is vital – keep them away from the child and the woman they defiled.
If they fail to comply, off to jail they go. Rape is, after all, a crime.
Oh, wait, what am I thinking? Men get a free pass. Why all the fuss about a little rape and incest? Boys will be boys.
There for a minute, I forgot.
Pardon me while I smack my 100 percent pro-choice, pro-women's rights forehead and rejoin my fellow senior citizens. You know, the 47 percenters.
Nancy Coleman
In the end, it's God's laws that matter
If you don't like religious letters, go no further. God is my first priority, my country is next.
I can't understand how a person can be against abortion, but says a woman should have freedom of choice. If that is the case, her choice should be to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
I guess these people don't believe in pornography, either, but it's OK if someone chooses to film young children in forced sex acts. Maybe your spouse chooses to have an affair, but that's OK because that's their choice.
We all have free will to do right or wrong. When do we start following God's laws? Aren't you worried about answering for your actions?
My adult children know exactly where I stand when it comes to their actions, as they have since they were little. I will always love them, but I will not condone bad choices.
I will continue to let them know when they are wrong according to God's laws, because trying to please him is my first priority.
Yes, I am a human being and a sinner, but I will not have the sin of omission on my soul when I see something wrong and say nothing.

On Election Day, vote your conscience
We've recently had letters about separation of church and state, and also on pro-life issues. I'd like to comment on them.
Many people look to and respect their church's teachings on moral issues. Why, at election time, should our priests, ministers or rabbis have to clam up? It is their jobs to guide their faithful to be good, moral citizens.
Voting is not only a right and privilege, it is a moral responsibility to cast an educated vote.
I'm not advocating personnel endorsements from the pulpit. I'm advocating a clear explanation of moral issues.
We've also had attempts to "muddy the waters" on pro-life issues by tying in all sorts of other issues. To be pro-life, one must first and foremost be against abortion. While other issues may deserve consideration, none is more important than life. Without life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness fail to matter.
Politicians often try to justify support for abortion with this tired, old line: I'm personally opposed but won't impose my beliefs, etc.
They never hesitate to impose their beliefs elsewhere.
Imagine a candidate who is personally opposed to rape, or robbery, who doesn't want to impose his belief on others. I could come up with arguments to support almost any crime, if I wanted to.
Be loyal to your conscience and not necessarily your party on Election Day.
Patrick F. Mulcahy
Right-to-choose analogy: The flip side
In response to "Pro-choice means you make decisions," from A. Lee Fenimore on Oct. 26:
She says the president "is for a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body, without government involvement."
I guess if that is what she and the president believe, then she and the president also believe in prostitution, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and selling body organs. After all, if it is a woman's body and you truly believe she can do what she wants with it, you have to believe she can do these things as well.
Just remember that these other things do not involve doing away with another life form.
Also, I would ask: At what age does the "woman" have the right to make these decisions? Age 18, 15, 10, 5?
I hope that my daughter and granddaughters never live to see our country where these things are acceptable.
Phil Scott
Coal, oil and natural gas working for America Wind power, solar power and other "green" energies are not working for us.
Renewable energy, in theory, is great, but not performing well, and it's not a job creator, as President Obama would claim.
Coal-fired electric plants are tried and true and employ many. Oil and natural gas are abundant, but Obama doesn't care for us. He doesn't utilize these fuels to the fullest.
It's his attitude that, it's his way or the highway. The squeeze he uses is totally out of bounds for our country's economical survival.
Obama has no real plan to put our people back to work. He punishes our small-business owners by taxing them to death and eliminating the Bush tax cuts for them. That will ensure even less job creation. We surely will suffer if he returns for four more miserable years.
Who could trust a leader that would lie to us about a terror attack as in Benghazi, Libya? Why would this administration remove two Special Forces units assigned to Ambassador Christopher Stevens in August, three weeks before the attack, leaving only three contractors for protection?
Obama doesn't champion America by feeding his celebrity on nighttime talk shows.
We definitely can do better than the vice president we have, too.
Vote Romney/Ryan on Nov. 6.
It really is America or Obama.

A once-great nation devoid of morals
Our nation is 236 years old. At its inception, it was richly blessed by almighty God. We have more natural resources than any other country in the world. We have rich land. Most innovations the world has seen through the centuries have originated from the brilliant minds of people in the United States.
We have been the protector of the innocent worldwide. America has never gone to war to dominate another land, but only to liberate their peoples from tyranny, much like we liberated ourselves from England during the Revolutionary War.
Unfortunately, in the past 50 years, we have rejected this very God who has given us so much.
In 1962, the U.S. courts took God out of our schools and called it separation of church and state.
In the 1960s, we had the sexual revolution, where we humans decided what to do with our own bodies. This was also a revolution of the authority of parents and the rule of law in general.
In 1973, our nation lost its respect for life and legalized infanticide, or what is commonly known as abortion. The Supreme Court's feeble argument was that it denied a woman's right to choose, which means a woman – not God – chooses whether a baby lives or dies.
As a result of all of these, we have the country we see today.

Dirk Nowitzki joined KTCK in Dallas with The Hardline to discuss LeBron James playing on another planet in the NBA postseason, being anxious to see the Dallas Mavericks free agency plans, his relationship with Deron Williams and his gut feeling on the Mavericks chances of landing Deron Williams in free agency.
"Rick Carlisle joined 105.3 the Fan in Dallas to talk about getting a new contract, whether the season was a disappointment in Dallas, if he had a say in the strategy of the team at the end of last year, if he still hears from upset fans that the team chose not to make a stronger title defense, how active the team will be this offseason and how close the Mavericks are to the team where they need Dirk Nowitzki to be the second best player on the roster."
Have a look at Andy's piece from SBN Dallas. It talks about Deron Williams.

SEATTLE (AP) - The sister of slain Ambassador Chris Stevens says "it helps to have the world mourning with you" and know that he was appreciated.
Seattle pediatrician Dr. Anne Stevens told The Seattle Times she reads everything she can about the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed her brother and three other Americans. She wants to understand how it happened.
Anne Stevens says her brother's safety was always a worry, but no on tried to talk him out of being where he wanted to work.
The family has created an online memorial to promote understanding between the Western and Arab worlds at rememberingchrisstevens.com.

NEOSHO, Mo. —
Neosho city officials for the past year or so have been occupied with the Neosho Transportation Development District, or TDD.
They recently have turned their attention to another entity with an acronym, the Big Spring Plaza Community Improvement District, or CID.
The City Council in 2006 formed the CID, which is a separate political subdivision. The five property owners in the district approved a 1-cent sales tax and became the board of directors. Tax revenues were used to build a road to a strip mall on the south side of the Wal-Mart parking lot, said Mayor Richard Davidson. Only one member who was on the City Council in 2006 is still on the council.
The CID board made the strip mall developer, Barry Clark, with Clark Properties of Missouri, its chairman.
Davidson and City Manager Troy Royer raised issues related to the CID last week.
The CID was formed inside an already existing tax increment financing, or TIF, district. The city had an agreement with the TIF district that the city would be reimbursed half of any new tax revenue in the district. Royer and Davidson said last week that the city never received any payment from the CID tax.
The city last week filed an open-records request with the CID. Royer said at the time that he estimated the city may be owed as much as $100,000.
It turns out it's probably more.
CID attorney Carl Yates, of Springfield, said he had prepared a response to the city's request, after gathering what records the CID had available and reassembling what he could, resulting in a delay in the response. He said the amount owed is $100,000-plus, but less than $200,000. He said the amount also is dependent upon all of the CID being inside the TIF.
The city had not received the response with the specific amount on Wednesday.
"We just have to get the money back from Mr. Clark so we can pay it," Yates said.
Yates said Clark, the former chairman, created an account into which the CID funds were deposited, with Clark the only one having access to the account.
"He filed a suit against the CID, and the CID has filed a counterclaim against him asking him to reimburse the district for all the funds that he took," Yates said.
Yates was asked if it was a good idea to make the business developer the chairman of the CID.
"That was something the board did," Yates said. "Sometimes people with the best of intentions end up with things they wish they hadn't done."
Norman Rouse represents Clark in the legal dispute. He said the account was set up to reimburse Clark for the improvements he was making. Payments were made into the account by the CID board for several months, he said.
"A board member or board members stopped that payment, resulting in the lawsuit being filed," Rouse said.
Davidson said the situation validates the city's position that it is owed money, and it demonstrates a potential problem with these political subdivisions, including the TDD.
"There's no accountability there," he said. "It reinforces that when these entities sell themselves as a win-win proposition, if they're not properly managed or have proper oversight, they can be more of a burden than a benefit."
It turns out that the TDD also is in the TIF, but Davidson said the council and the TDD had an agreement to waive reimbursement of tax revenues from the TDD.
The city continues to keep its options open regarding a decision on whether to appeal a court ruling against the city that allowed the TDD to continue. The city was granted an extension to file an appeal until July 17.
The TDD is funded by a half-cent sales tax collected by businesses within the district, to pay the TDD's $4.5 million share of the cost of transportation projects along a retail area of U.S. Highway 60. The Missouri Department of Transportation has agreed to pay the remaining $2.4 million share of the projects.
One TDD project is under way, but remaining projects have been placed on hold by the state pending resolution of the legal issues. City officials have argued that no other projects would start this year anyway, so the city isn't delaying the projects.
Legal fees
THE CITY AND THE TDD have spent more than $250,000 combined on their legal disputes.

{PARTY ON A BUDGET} Woodland Fairy Party for $170
Melissa N from My Party Passion is my go-to gal for beautiful parties on a budget. She knows how to stretch a dollar better than anyone. Well, she's done it again with the Woodland Fairy Party she threw for her daughter over the weekend, and she is here to tell you all about it.
Over the weekend our youngest daughter turned 3!
She loves to watch her older sister's DVD of Tinkerbell and asked me, back in February, if she could have a fairy party. Of course I can do that, I said. HOWEVER, our "Samantha" aka Sammie, is not a girly girl....so I needed to change it just a little, and went with a Woodland Fairy Party theme.
Right away I knew that I would be using elements from our yard/woods to help create the perfect setting for the party. If you are familiar with my parties, budget is very important to me, but so is quality. I challenge and pride myself on styling and executing a top notch party on a not so top notch budget. Once I got my wheels turning there was no holding me back on this one!
Starting Point: The first thing I do is always write down all my ides in a notebook and brainstorm before buying anything. Impulse buys can turn out expensive and sometimes a waste of time. A routine trip to our local Christmas Tree Shop gave me the idea for more natural colors for the party. Greens, yellows, oranges and reds. I found these beautiful huge butterflies and flowers there for $ 2.49 a piece (granted it was 3 months until her party).
Mushrooms: Another trip to the local Dollar Tree gave me the idea for these brown "natural" looking mushrooms. The idea came to me to use these moss planters for mushroom tops and also for snack bowls. I took two Dollar Tree plastic planters and hot glued them end to end, stuck another Dollar Tree Moss bowl on top and there you have it! The red mushrooms were the same "stems" but I painted our wooden salad bowl set (yeah not sure why I ever had these on our wedding registry) to look like mushroom tops!
Fairy Wings: My first intention was to buy Dollar Tree fairy wings and "glam them up" with flowers and ribbons. Since 15 girls were originally invited, cost was a factor. After scoping out more than 4 Dollar Tree stores with no luck, I turned to Ebay, Etsy and other sources. I finally found a good quality wing for a great price and then used Dollar Tree flowers and ribbon that I bought last Fall from Pick your Plum to make them more "woodsy"...They were $5 a pair but that was really the fairy goodie bags. The fairy "crowns" I made from pipe cleaners and flowers from Dollar Tree and left over curling ribbon from Christmas. These cost me less than $.25 each to make.
My mother made the little Woodsman Hats out of felt for the boys! (if you sew or have a friend that does, hats off to ya! I don't sew at all...) Less than $ 1 per hat!
Activities: Keeping little ones busy at a party is a tough job sometimes. You need a variety of options at any time. One of the activities was a Fairy Story being read by an older fairy (I hired three young girls from our Church to help out at the party - this way I can spend time with the birthday girl and soak all of it in) and I wanted that Mushroom Grotto feel to the story area. I looked all over for little red cushions to make toadstools and everything was out of my budget -- so at IKEA I found red round mouse pads and added my own "spots" to them...voila - toadstool pads for them to sit on in the mushroom grotto! $.99 a piece.
A fairy parade was so much fun for them using instruments and "flying" around the yard to wake up the enchanted forest.
Woodland Crafts - for the girls - paint your own fairy house. Each house was $ 1.00 at Michael s and I bought plenty of them. The Woodsman - my hubby, cut and sanded wooden plaques for them to paint.
Food: Kept it simple. I always seem to have so much food left over and the kids never seem to want to eat while they are so busy playing. However this party was opposite. I put out fresh fruit, homemade salsa & chips, tomato, basil and moz. sandwiches, salads. It was enough and the kids all ate.
Misc Items: My husband made the cake stands from elements in our yard. Cost was nothing! I found the "fairy" house in the woods and added a few elements to it from around the yard. Cost nothing. Fairy Houses - I found two bird houses at Michaels Craft store that were on clearance and turned them into fairy houses "for rent."
This theme could get out of control easily as I had so many more ideas that I just had to stop somewhere! The birthday girl had a blast and so did all the other children. The fairies have all returned to the Enchanted Forest and the woods are quiet again!
Budget: decor $ 50 + food $ 25 + goodie bags/wings $65 + misc $30 = $170
Thank you, Melissa, I always love hearing your stories and how you come up with your amazing ideas!

TRENDS: Lalaloopsy Parties on Catch My Party
I'm seeing a new party trend on the horizon so I wanted to be one of the first to write about it: Lalaloopsy parties.
Lalaloopsy is a line of rag dolls introduced in 2010, and has become all the rage with young girls. Even thought the dolls are new, what's fun about these parties is there's a nostalgic feel to them.
Since there aren't a lot of commercial Lalaloopsy party supplies out there (yet), you can really make these parties your own, like these hosts have done below. I especially love all the sewing and button details. (Click on the links or photos to see the full parties.)
Beth K's Lalaloopsy Party
Vanessa B's Natalie's 6th Birthday
Kanoli U's Kamilah's First Birthday
My daughter still doesn't have a Laloopsy doll, but I have a feeling that will be changing. Does your daughter have one, and if so how does she like it? Would you ever throw a Lalaloopsy birthday?

PARTY ON A BUDGET: A Vintage Ballerina Birthday for $150
I saw this Vintage Ballerina Birthday on our site that Jenifer H created for her daughter, and I thought it was beyond beautiful.
Then I read that she pulled the whole thing off for $150 and I almost died. How did she do it? I, of course, had to find out Jenifer's secrets, and she so generously agreed to share them here. We won't tell, Jenifer, we promise!
My daughter, Ellah, has a love for ballerinas and dancing. When I was shopping at the Round Top/Warrenton Antiques Show in Round Top, Texas, I found a stash of vintage little ballerina prints. I purchased them for her room, and when she saw them, the gasp she took helped me to decide the theme of her 3rd birthday - a vintage ballerina.
When planning my two children's birthdays, under one month apart, I know we cannot break the bank two months in a row on birthday parties. Although I'd really love to do it, I guess God really didn't have birthday parties in mind when He planned our children. I also work with plenty of moms through my store with similar circumstances or moms who just want to save money. Perfectly understood.
1st Tip - K.I.S.S
My first money saving tip is always the theory KISS: Keep it Simple Sweetie. I am with the idea 'less is more.' My daughter's party was very, very simple. I kept the party small which helped cut the cost. We invited family plus a few of my daughter's closest preschool friends, about 25 guests including the children.
I served less expensive foods by having a simple brunch. Breakfast foods can be inexpensive to make! My husband and I cooked french toast, pigs-n-the-blanket, oven baked ham and swiss sliders (via Pinterest - so easy with very few inexpensive ingredients), chicken salad croissant sandwiches, homemade raspberry muffins and we had a simple green salad and fresh fruit in season. My mom brought the chicken salad, so my most expensive menu item was lovingly donated.
I kept the ballerinas' activities so simple. Since coloring is a 2-5 year old favorite, I printed off a ballerina coloring page free from the internet for the girls to color and decorate. I also purchased foam princess crowns and foam stickers on clearance for $5.00 total.
The girls had a blast creating their own princess ballerina crowns to wear during the party. The last activity was, simply, dancing. All party guests either wore their own tutu or we let them wear a tutu from our play clothes. The little ballerinas cut a rug with what you might call very modern, interpretive dance moves - so entertaining and it was free!
2nd Tip - Use & Reuse
This is a fun and important tip: Use and reuse what you have! I love "shopping" the house (and my mother's house) to find what will work with my party's theme. I think it's perfectly acceptable to ask family and friends to borrow items that could work for your party. Get creative with the stuff you already have. The vintage ballerina prints that I purchased for my daughter's bedroom were some of the main party decorations I planned to use, but they didn't have frames. Lo and behold, in my search, I found three identical, unused frames in my garage that happened to fit the pictures! That was a score. The frames were black, so I purchased spray paint to coordinate with the party color scheme and simply spray painted them and hung the art. Easy and inexpensive.
Absolutely everything that I used to serve the food and candy I either owned myself or I borrowed from my mom's vintage dish collection.
The pops of turquoise you see in the platter and round place mat I already had. Another party item I reused was the large mirror seen in the outdoor table photos. The mirror was kept from our bathroom remodel and worked as a great ballet mirror.
3rd Tip - Use your connections
Here I saved most of my money on the most expensive parts of the party - the photography, the cake, the bunting, the invitations and party accessories - all because of people I know. Do you have a friend or family member you know who takes better photos than you? I do! A good friend of mine is the photographer of Jennifer Schattle Photography. Jennifer and I partner together on projects every year including my children's birthday parties, so I am blessed to know and work with such a talented friend. Of course, you don't have to know a photographer. Ask people you know who can help!
I also know someone who bakes - conveniently, my husband. He is not a professional, but he grew up baking with his grandmother and does a wonderful, tasty job. We insist on baking our children's cakes/cupcakes every birthday, so we save money in that department yearly.
In addition, I have an aunt who owns a custom sewing business, Kustom Kids of Kingwood. When I had decided on the ballerina theme, I knew I wanted a bunting. I shopped around and found that they were a little pricey for me. I contacted my aunt and she quickly put together my requests (and my favorite piece of the party) for a fraction of what I would have paid anywhere else.
Finally, I own my Etsy store Hello Love Designs where I sell printable party invitations and party accessories. I also work with one of the top US press printing companies allowing me to have my invitations professionally printed for cost. I printed out the cupcake toppers, tent labels, and favor tags on my own home printer, cut, and we were ready to party! I have the Little Vintage Ballerina birthday invitation and full printable party collection for sale in the store.
4th Tip - Use printables
I LOVE printables!! Printable party accessories add such detail to a party and save money at the same time. You can purchase anything from full party packages to just the pieces you need for a low cost. Then all you have to do is print, cut them out, and you're ready to add beautiful detail to your party. If you're really on a tight budget, there are many blogs, designers, and sites who offer free party printables. You will spend a little time assembling, but the money you save is so worth it!
5th Tip - Use Etsy
For me, Etsy is an indispensable source. Great deals are to be found everywhere! Etsy offers such a variety of products, styles, and prices that everyone is happy. I found (another favorite piece) a vintage floral sheet that I used as the table cloth outside at a great Etsy store called Eager Hands. It was so reasonably priced, and the seller was kind enough to throw in sweet little "extras." In fact, the eyelet trim I used to trim the party hats came as an "extra" from her shop.
I also purchased the cupcake liners from The Cupcake Social used to serve candy, Ellah's tutu from Cheeky Chic Baby, and Ellah's headband from Prim Couture Shop - all on Etsy. Note: Ellah's birthday outfit was not a part of our party budget.
My one "splurge" item was the floral arrangement and, truthfully, it wasn't all that expensive. I took the florist my pitcher, an inspiration photo, and a budget and they worked up something gorgeous that I could afford. I always plan and shop ahead comparing prices. I try to avoid last minute purchasing which can end up costing me more money.
Thank you, Jenifer, for sharing all your tips and your beautiful party with us. You did an incredible job!

A Night Too Dark is New York Times bestselling writer Dana Stabenow's latest, the seventeenth in a series chronicling life, death, love, tragedy, mischief, controversy, nature, and survival in Alaska, America's last real frontier.In Alaska, people disappear every day. In Aleut detective Kate Shugak's Park, they've been disappearing a lot lately. Hikers head into the wilderness unprepared and get lost. Miners quit without notice at the busy Suulutaq Mine. Suicides leave farewell notes and vanish. Not only are Park rats disappearing at an alarming rate, but so is life in the Park as Kate knows it. Alaska state trooper Jim Chopin's workload has increased to where he doesn't make it home three nights out of four, the controversial mine has seduced Johnny and his classmates with summer jobs and divided the Niniltna Native Association—the aunties are to a woman selling out—and a hostile environmental activist organization has embraced the Suulutaq Mine as their reason for being. It's almost a relief when Kate finds a body. This she can handle.Until the identity of the body vanishes, too.In this latest Kate Shugak novel, the smart, sexy PI, her wolf/husky hybrid Mutt, and Chopper Jim are only just beginning to realize the fallout from the discovery of the world's second-largest gold mine in their backyard.

Read the full excerpt
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Dana Stabenow's crime novel A Night Too Dark, part of her Kate Shugak mystery series. The audiobook is narrated by Marguerite Gavin. In Alaska, somebody disappears every day. Hunters who head into the wilderness... Fishermen who brave the great rivers...Tourists who attempt to do both. In Aleut detective Kate Shugak's Park, people have been falling off the grid quite a bit lately. And as she and state trooper Jim Chopin are about to realize, it's got something to do wit
Praise for Whisper to the Blood"Grade: A. Some of the greatest mystery writers enrich us with their wonderful sense of place. Stabenow is one of them: Alaska's answer to Tony Hillerman, she brings us the sights and sounds that few visitors will ever know. . . . If you haven't discovered Stabenow yet, start here—then go back to A Cold Day for Murder and enjoy the whole story."—Rocky Mountain News"Excellent . . . No one writes more vividly about the hardships and rewards of living in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness and the hardy but frequently flawed characters who choose to call it home. This is a richly rewarding regional series that continues to grow in power as it grows in length."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)"There are now sixteen Kate Shugak novels in this excellent series set in backwoods Alaska, and rather than losing steam, Stabenow is building it. Whisper to the Blood is the best Shugak so far. . . . Stabenow is terrific at building a story and keeping the suspense tight and the story moving."—The Globe and Mail"One of the best . . . A dynamite combination of atmosphere, action, and character."—Booklist (starred review)Praise for A Deeper Sleep"When I'm casting about for an antidote to the sugary female sleuths . . . Kate Shugak, the Aleut private investigator in Dana Stabenow's Alaskan mysteries, invariably comes to mind."—The New York Times"Stabenow once again presents us with a cleverly conceived and crisply written thriller that provides a provocative glimpse of life as it is lived and justice as it is served on America's last frontier."—The San Diego Union-Tribune
Dana Stabenow is the New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Shugak mysteries and the Liam Campbell mysteries, as well as a few science fiction and thriller novels. Her book A Cold Day for Murder won an Edgar Award in 1994. Stabenow was born in Anchorage, Alaska and raised on a 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska. She has a B.A. in journalism and an M.F.A. in writing from the University of Alaska. She has worked as an egg counter and bookkeeper for a seafood company, and worked on the TransAlaska pipeline before becoming a full-time writer. She continues to live in Alaska.

Urals motorcycles have been built in Russia since the 1930s with few changes. Stories vary from the Germans selling older BMW R71 or R75 schematics to the Russians or the more likely Russian Defense Ministry purchased five used BMW R71s and reverse engineered them. Either way, the story is entertaining. The factory was located in Moscow until Hitler's troops started sending in the bombs. At that time, it seemed like a good time to move the factory into the Ural mountains, where it remains to this day. Little changed in the production of these bikes until they became privately owned in 1993. The ownership change stepped up the reliability only slightly. With Italian switches and Japanese fueling and electronics, you can be assured there are at least some parts on the bike that you count on.
Suspension is mostly the same in all Ural models; the front suspension on the Troyka is different, in that it has a standard telescopic fork. This suspension makes the handling a little softer than the leading link fork of all the other models, but the change also makes handling the sidecar more work. The rear is the usual twin-sided swing arm with a spring preload shock—and even though it sounds like a cool suspension setup, they're famous for their rough and exhausting rides. The Troyka is considered the luxury model and with nicer two-tone paint and chrome wire wheels, it accomplishes bits of it.
The four-speed transmission, which works with a crossover drive shaft for two-wheel drive, shifts power to the sidecar's wheel and is manually engaged, giving it two rear driving wheels. So with the both rear wheels engaged, it acts as posi-traction for a motorcycle. The Brembo hydraulic disc setup provides stopping power in front; the rear brake is an IMZ drum. From all accounts, it's still not enough braking power, even though top speed is only about 60 mph.
This bike varies slightly from the other Ural models with the suspension changes, nicer paint, and added chrome. Troika roughly translates into three, giving this bike the name. Why this one is named Troika and other of their sidecars are named differently remains a mystery. It is still one of the more eye-catching of the Ural models. Be assured that wherever you park crowds will gather.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A Richmond County judge has tacked on some extra penalties for Augusta attorney Joe Neal Jr.
News 12 has learned Neal will have to go to four Georgia law schools and speak in ethics classes as part of his sentence.
He will be traveling to law schools at the University of Georgia, Emory, Mercer and Georgia State. Neal will be required to speak for one hour a year for three years at each school, in addition to community service.
All of this stems from his trial earlier this year on allegations he gave drugs to an 18-year-old and attempted to rape her. Neal agreed to a plea deal for drug possession.

SEATTLE -- The Los Angeles Angels have traded power hitter Kendrys Morales to the Seattle Mariners for left-hander Jason Vargas.
The 29-year-old Morales became expendable after the Angels agreed to a deal last week with free agent slugger Josh Hamilton. The Angels had been looking for a pitcher after losing Zack Greinke and Dan Haren to free agency and trading Ervin Santana.
"We have been focused on adding offense this off-season, and feel that Kendrys will be a middle-of-the-order bat for us. He's a switch-hitter with power who has played, and hit, in the AL West," said Mariners General Manager Jack Zduriencik. "He's familiar with the teams and parks and is a proven run-producer. We hate to part with Jason, and really appreciate everything he's done for us, but we are in a situation where we had to give up talent to acquire talent."
Morales hit .273 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs last season. He missed the entire 2011 season after breaking his leg early in 2010 while celebrating a game-ending grand slam against the Mariners.
"Kendrys gives us a veteran presence and a proven, middle-of-the-order bat, with power from both sides of the plate," said Mariners manager Eric Wedge. "Adding him to our line-up immediately makes us a better offensive club."
Vargas led Seattle in wins last season, going 14-11 with a 3.85 ERA. The 29-year-old is 36-42 with a 4.09 ERA in four years with the Mariners.
Morales and Vargas are both eligible for salary arbitration and can become free agents after next season.
