LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
A complaint of a loud party that involved underage persons sent Laurel County Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Morris and Deputy Shawn Boroviak to East Ky. 552, 10 miles south of London, around 11 p.m. Saturday. But when deputies pulled up at the house where the alleged party was occurring, they saw several subjects run into the woods.
After searching the area, the deputies located those who fled the scene, including some teens who were under the legal age to drink alcohol. All in all, three males and three females who were under age 21 were located, as well as the residents of the home, who were charged with unlawful transaction with a minor. Five people were arrested and one juvenile was charged with disorderly conduct and scheduled for juvenile court proceedings. The females involved included a 17-year-old and two 16-year-olds.
The couple who allowed the underage drinking were identified as 23-year-old Nicholas D. Lucas and 23-year-old Jessica R. Lucas, both of whom were charged with third-degree unlawful transaction with a minor. Michael E. Hammack, 19, of Billboard Road in Corbin, 18-year-old Christopher T. Burkhart of East Ky. 552 in London, and 18-year-old Jonathan Arnold of DeFoore Road in Resca, Ga., were all charged with alcohol intoxication. The three female juveniles were released to their parents.
The Lucases and the three males were lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center following their arrests.

If you'd rather be covered in grass stains and wing sauce than hair spray and lip gloss, listen up! Being a guy's girl is a gift. But hanging with the fellas doesn't mean you should dress like them. Here are the top five fashion trends to turn your tomboy into a tomcat.
1. Sporty Spice: With baseball season in full-swing, dugout divas are doing their thing. But cheering on your favorite team can also be trendy. Many teams now offer a girly version of jerseys, tees and hats, making any ballpark babe that much more beautiful.
Hey Batter, Batter Fashion Top, , $22.99
MLB Metallic V-Neck Tee, Victoria's Secret, Palmer Park Mall, $29.50
2. Sexy Sweats: These sporty staples come in a variety of girly colors and styles. Whether you like to roll them up or wear them wide, with the right top, sweats can be sexy. Many styles now come with some bling -- the perfect combination of cute and comfy.

Supersoft Knit Crop Pant, Aerie, Lehigh Valley Mall, $29.50
3. Overtime overalls: If you'd rather pound nails then paint them, this look is for you. Even the working girls need some glamour. Overalls were a 1990s fashion phase, but they are making their way back to shelves, but with a trendy twist.
Overall Denim Romper, Forever 21, Lehigh Valley Mall, $19.90
4. Un-Skinny Jeans: I'm a tomboy myself, and there is nothing I hate more than skinny jeans. They're too tight for a tough girl like me. So, jeggings are the perfect pant. They look like jeans, but have a stretchy waistband like sweats. They also come in a variety of washes and wears.
Rock Star Denim Leggings, Old Navy, Whitehall, $19
AE Jegging, American Eagle, Palmer Park Mall, $39.50
5. Sweet Sneaks: Prefer high-tops over heels? No problem. Stylish sneakers are functional and fashionable for any tomboy. Perfect for pick-up games.

At Logansport Community Schools, 5,000 people, including faculty, staff and students, are using 3,200 laptops and other devices in the corporation's second year going one-to-one.
That's according to Cyle Dibble, Logansport Community School Corporation technology director, who gave a presentation about current technology at Logansport Community School Corporation, where it's going and what is going to happen next at a school board meeting Tuesday.
The school's one-to-one program aims increase access to technology and streamline information. Projects over the summer included training teachers on new devices and reimaging laptops.
Some of the devices in the corporation include 130 whiteboards, laptops for teachers, iPads, a 3-D printer and wireless Internet access. There are also 80 security cameras at Logansport High School, 15 to 18 at the middle schools and door cameras at the elementary schools.
There is also professional development opportunities, with training which will allow teachers to become certified in technology.
The plan is to keep incorporating technology, Dibble said.
"We need to continue integrating technology and planning for the future," Dibble said. "The goal is to also have a committee, of a smaller core group, to develop a road map for technology."
Over the next school year, administrators aim to get some one-to-one devices for fifth- to eighth- graders. Dibble said the plan is to take what they know from technology at Logansport High School and roll that down to the next level.
Administrators are also looking at the possibility of a bring-your-own-device policy and how to fit even more professional development in to the curriculum.
Jeff Smith, board member, asked Dibble if he has received feedback from other corporations on how the bring-your-own-device program works.
Dibble said he has had a webinar with another school to learn more about it, but they have learned having the same device helps.

BlueCross of TN CEO warns of healthcare cost 'explosion'
Bill Gracey, CEO of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee told a business crowd at a Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce event yesterday, sees a need for healthcare reform, pointing specifically to issues with access and spiraling costs in the U.S. The challenge, he said, is that the current round of reform only approaches the access issue, not costs. The company expects anywhere from 20 to 30 percent increase in rates in the individual market starting next year, and a 10 percent increase in the small group market. Contributing to that increase is a new tax on payers in the law, totaling $220 million in the first year alone. As Gracey pointed out, that's about on par, or more, than the company's annual profit, and will have to be taken from premiums, which in turn will hike up rates.

Role for the Membrane Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase-C in Attention Deficiency and Hyperactive Behavior
Rong Gong,1,2,* Cheng Ding,2,3,* Ji Hu,2,* Yao Lu,2 Fei Liu,4 Elizabeth Mann,5 Fuqiang Xu,4 Mitchell B. Cohen,5 Minmin Luo2,6,
Abstract: Midbrain dopamine neurons regulate many important behavioral processes, and their dysfunctions are associated with several human neuropsychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia. Here, we report that these neurons in mice selectively express guanylyl cyclase-C (GC-C), a membrane receptor previously thought to be expressed mainly in the intestine. GC-C activation potentiates the excitatory responses mediated by glutamate and acetylcholine receptors via the activity of guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate–dependent protein kinase (PKG). Mice in which GC-C has been knocked out exhibit hyperactivity and attention deficits. Moreover, their behavioral phenotypes are reversed by ADHD therapeutics and a PKG activator. These results indicate important behavioral and physiological functions for the GC-C/PKG signaling pathway within the brain and suggest new therapeutic targets for neuropsychiatric disorders related to the malfunctions of midbrain dopamine neurons.

Demand Xcel Energy Clean-up the French Island Incinerator
We formally request a public hearing from the US EPA Region 5 Office for Xcel Energy\'s French Island Incinerator. We believe that Xcel Energy should not be allowed to increase Federal Clear Air Standards for particular pollutants. We strongly believe the Xcel Energy should pay more than $500,000 of possible fines of $27 million dollars. Futhermore, we request that the fines be used to support La Crosse County\'s Household Haradous Waste Program and in particular, a new, \"Home Safe Home\" household hazardous waste education program. The program allows citizens to enter an \"example\" home where toxic, non-toxic, and least toxic household materials are displayed. Where citizens can learn about the dangers of misusing household chemicals and where the citizenry can learn to outright eliminate, reduce, or properly handle such materials. Finally, we request that stringent standards be applied to the burning of creosote railroad ties and \"other\" forms of wood waste. Without specific standards on such waste, it will be impossible to hold Xcel Energy accountable in the future.

2 killed in South Africa prison brawl; 65 injured
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African government official says two prisoners were killed and 65 injured when a fight broke out between two gangs.
Regional commissioner Nkosinathi Breakfast said 17 of the injured were taken to the hospital. He said the prisoners were using "all sorts of objects" in the battle.
Breakfast said 2,083 prisoners — all awaiting trial — are held at St. Albans prison in the eastern city of Port Elizabeth. He said some have been there longer than five years.

really appreciate it cheers glen
If nobody can help with part no,is it poss to get a free version of etka anywhere?
5 or 6 speed gearbox?
Ooh what a nob! One of the most important points I should have mentioned!
5 speed fella
I've just shut the PC down, I'll have a look for you tomorrow night.
For AWX
Left = 8E0 407 451 GX
Right = 8E0 407 272 S
Numbers supplied in good faith, etc ....
Cheers fella really appreciate that but if u don't mind could you double check them as I'm getting the following which you have one listed?
Last edited by glenandem; 2nd August 2013 at 21:42.
Glen i have the saloon of your car same engine awx 5 speed, and i have the 71s and 72s shafts, just recently replaced one of them, so can guarantee compatibility of these part numbers
Mods done: interior: Light to dark conversion, To Do: Carbon trim, carpet to be replaced, rear window retrofit. Exterior: Resprayed in Skoda's Rallye Green, 18" RS4 reps fitted, xenons, LED sidelights/NumberPlate lights, B Pillars wrapped in carbon. To Do: Lowering 35mm all round, tints, Tuning: Yet to do exhaust/remap/ egr delete etc..
There's a myriad of options for Driveshafts in Etka, those part numbers I read are listed in my version for your car, and as always part numbers are given in good faith etc.
If Dan can personally vouch for those part numbers then I'd go with them.
Cheers fella, can I ask y u replaced them?
im at whits end with a vibration I've got from the front at most speeds but really noticeable on mway, steering doesn't shake atall and I've replaced engine mounts, dmf etc and now I'm thinking its got to be either driveshafts or worse gearbox although I put it in neutral on mway and have even turned engine off when it's quiet! And vibration still there, wheels all good too but would have thought they'd shake steering wheel so I'm just down to these two things now or I'm buggered!
second hand driveshafts are cheap and only take ten mins to change do thinking I'm gonna try both of them see how it goes
This is what I have listed in etka July update 974
8E0 407 271 S was dropped on 01/11/2011 and replaced with 8E0 407 451 GX
8E0 407 272 S was dropped on 01/02/2012 and replaced with 8E0 407 452 GX
Cheers pal, wonder why they changed part no?
Change in OEM manufacture, rectify a design fault, change to one of the sub assembly parts or slight design change to make it compatible with other models, end of the day you never know unless it's a common fault like the well known B7 170 injectors.

In response to an Orange County Grand Jury report, the city of San Juan Capistrano has implemented changes in the way it reveals employee compensation and pension costs.
The topic was on Tuesday's City Council meeting agenda, with a letter penned to the presiding judge winning unanimous approval.
In June, the Orange County Grand Jury released a report titled, "Transparency Breaking Up Compensation Fog-But Why Hide Pension Costs?" It was spurred on by revelations in 2010 that the city of Bell, population roughly the size of San Juan Capistrano, had among the highest paid employees in the nation.
A year before, the grand jury had made a number of recommendations to cities and public agencies that would make salaries and pensions more transparent to the public. The 2011-12 Grand Jury followed up on how well the agencies took those suggestions.
San Juan got two As, for accessibility and information about executive pay, but earned a D for transparency about its employees' compensation and pensions.
Between investigating and publishing its report, the city updated its website, according to the grand jury.
"The City of San Juan Capistrano reported that they have added employee compensation pages to their website. It appears quite complete," an end note added to the report states.
As called for by the grand jury, all cities mentioned in the report need to send a follow-up letter on their progress by Oct. 12.
The changes the city implemented, as detailed in the letter approved at City Council Tuesday, are:
- Employee compensation costs report displayed on the city's website is consistent with the grand jury's recommendations
- The city's fiscal years 2011-12 and 2012-13 employer pension annual contribution rates are posted on the city's website
- The employee compensation costs report displayed on the city's website includes actual overtime and on-call pay.

Heres the 2014 url of the 2004 article about our esteemed editor/moderator: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2004/jul/...
'Man of the moment: His innovative and practical websites - usually created in his spare time - have won Phil Gyford a loyal following. Bobbie Johnson went to meet him
Phil Gyford is not a name that trips off the tongue alongside those of internet visionaries such as Jeff Bezos, Sergei Brin or Larry Page. For Gyford's business - if you could call it that - is not big, and it doesn't make headline news. He would probably be the last person to describe himself as a guru, but Gyford has made a real mark on the net.
An unassuming freelance web designer by day, by night he's an amateur agitator, an unpaid online inventor with a track record of qualified, but recognisable, innovation. Gyford's wide range of pet projects combined with his no-nonsense approach to the net, continue to draw admiration from casual surfers and web experts alike.
His latest project, TheyWorkForYou.com, was launched last month with the intention of bringing parliament closer to the British people. With a team of almost 20 volunteers, Gyford helped build the site, which provides information on members of parliament and a readable version of Hansard, the parliamentary record . . '

Significant white head on grapefruit copper. One dimension understated IPA based on cascade hops, malted. A good though drying taste from all the malt. Stickly.Because of my upbringing, whenever I start a pale I think British.I agree its a lawnmower beer.

On tap at the brewpub a while back, right before I tried the vaunted CBS.
A: Bright orange color with a big white head.
S: A so-so amount of citrus hops with a decent malt backing.
T: Much like the nose--there are some hops there, but a little lacking for the style.
M: Pretty good. Decent carbonation and a light-medium body.
D: This isn't a bad brew, just not up to Founders' normal standards. There's just nothing special about it when compared with other APA's.

Hazy orange-amber with an impressive amount of yeast in suspended animation. The cap is small, even after a pretty aggressive pour, and is bone white in color. It persists nicely, though, eventually falling to a thick film and leaving a moderate amount of lace in tries-to-be-rings.
The aroma is surprisingly citrus zest hoppy, approaching an IPA in terms of character and intensity. I like the flavor quite a bit. Like the nose, it's definitely on the hoppy end of the pale ale scale. The grapefruitiness of the Cascade hops is dominant and adds a resinous, medium strength bitterness.
Founders Pale Ale is a 'tweener' and would be a good bridging beer to move people from pale ales to more strongly hopped IPAs. There's a solid pale malt presence, but it's easily overshadowed by the hops. The finish is extended, allowing the lupulins to shine for as long as possible. The mouthfeel is more than solid and edges into mini-IPA territory.
This is immensely enjoyable and drinkable beer. I also have a few Centennial IPAs in my beer fridge. They should be a real treat after tasting what Founders has done with Pale Ale. Thanks to deejaydan for the bottles.

A: Poured golden yellow with a little bit of head.
S: Faint smells of toasted malts were present in the aroma, along with some notes of hops.
T: There are some hoppy flavors, but the overall taste is on the weak side. The finish had some bitterness.
M: The mouthfeel was crisp, refreshing and light-bodied.
D: It was very easy to drink but the lack of a distinct flavor did not leave me with the feeling that I wanted another of these anytime soon.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a fairly clear amber color with a modest head that deposits a lot of foam, nevertheless
Smell: Balanced aromatics, with biscuity malt offset by a primarily earthy hop profile; has a little citrus, however, to remind us that this is an APA
Taste: Biscuity, up front, with a sugary citrus flavor that emerges by mid-palate, along with an earthy, stone fruit character; after the swallow, the sugary malt balances out the hops, though I wouldn't describe this as a malty beer by any stretch
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: Nice and refreshing; a well-balanced APA

Poured a cloudy burnt amber, with no real large head. What was there faded quickly but left a film of gooey, drippy lace skimming on the top, lots of eddys and swirls rounding about on it. Deep dripping lace down the glass, and a bit of a bubble stream coming up from the bottom. Smell was big and strong. Big citrus players here, lots of orange and grapefruit. Very sweet smell, like orange sherbert or candy. Very nice and plesing to the nose, smells like it will be a winner. Taste struck me as odd, after all the sugary itrus in the smell, none really came through in the taste. There was a strong bitter hop presence, providing lots of IBU's however it was more of a pine,resiney type of hops, rather then the sweet candy orange that came through at first. Nice and crisp, clean, very dry and long lingering finish, leaving a taste of burntor raosted pine for several minutes after a sip. Goes down very smooth and clean, not overally carbonated, and not syrupy either.

Bottle: Poured a light orangey color ale with a generous head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of citrus and fruity hoppy notes is very interesting. Taste is dominated by very nice flavours of fruity and citrus hoppy notes with lightly sweet malt notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Very nice beer with high-level of drinkability with some very nice notes hops flavours without too much bitterness.

A nice Pale Ale that's probably more true-to-style than most that are put out these days. Not overly done, plain and simple: a dry beer with enough hop character to make you think whether it's balanced or dominant.
The nose is all citrus- grapefruit, orange zest, and lemon grass The spicy hops weaven in and out of the light caramel undertones from the malt. Lightly earthy with a mild fresh tobacco scent, shying just enough away from becommming catty or earthy.
Flavors are more balanced but with the hops still demanding attention at the tip of the tongue. Grapefruit and light pine taste give a zesty and fresh taste up front. Hops fade at mid palate, leaving way for the crisp graham cracker or animal cracker taste to balance the hop flavor and growing bitterness. The hop resins give a dry sensation in the finish but the malts give the last punch with an aftertaste of sweet breads. Still, light tobacco flavor rides along side of caramel malt sweetness.
Very well attenuated and very drinkable though maybe to the point of giving an impression of lightness or thinness. The dry finish accentuates the alcohols and suppresses what malt sugars are left.
I wouldn't call this beer an Extra Pale Ale but it tilts toward the more moderate or lighter end of the Pale Ale spectrum.

Appearance: Pours a clear, deep golden body with a bubbly, lasting off-white head.
Smell: Soft citrus aroma with some toasted malt notes floating around in there, too.
Taste: Light caramel malt flavor with a citrus hop snap to it. Only a slight bitterness, with a green tea-ish leafy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, and a bit watery; could definitely benefit from more body. Moderately carbonated.
Drinkability: Inoffensively light and crisp, though what you gain in sessionability, you lose in depth of character.

three finger frothy head on a pure golden, hazy body. lots of lacing and nice head retention. Aroma is a nice orange peel and grapefruit. A little soapy. I felt this to be very aromatous but many other reviewes didnt feel so. May be due to this one being bottled. The flavor is actually a little disappointing. Flavor is more soapy and way to watered down. There is a very light earthy and citrus mote. Light to medium body and moderate carbonation. Overall aromatous but watered down is what I take from this. I love Founders but I this one let me down in the flavor.

On tap at Slow's BBQ in Detroit,poured a hazed light copper with a orange hue a small but well retained white head.There was a dose of American hops in this brew you could tell right off the bat in the nose quite piney and citrusy but there was a very noticable sweet caramel aroma that nearly matched the healthy dose of hops.Very well balanced with a real American character piney and citrusy and very crisp over top of a firm slightly sweet doughy malt backbone.Solid what else to say about this beer,very food friendly with good bbq cutting power with those hops.

This beer poured out as a nice golden color. The head was white and it pretty thick looking. The smell of the beer is hoppy and malty, smell like it's well balanced. The taste of the beer is pretty good but kind of falls short in my opinion. The mouthfeel of the feel is nicely carbonated. Overall it's a good social drinking Pale Ale, it's a good brew to offer people who might be interested in drinking Craft brews.

Served in a Bruery snifter.
Not sure why it's taken me so long to review this guy, especially considering how many times I've had it in the past year or so... Oh well, here goes: It pours a clear light amber topped by a finger or so of dirty white foam. The nose comprises pine resin, mint, a touch of menthol, light spicy greens, and soft caramel. The taste holds notes of pine needles, lightly toasted caramel, light balsa, grass, light greens, flowers, and the slightest possible touch of orange peel. The body is a rather light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly smooth feel. Overall, a pretty enjoyable pale ale, one that's not too hoppy, but doesn't go too far in the other direction either. It's almost too easy to drink at times...

A - Poured out a clear, golden-orange color with a two-finger, khaki-colored head of thick, firm foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass.
S - It smelled floral and citrusy with a nice pine aroma. There was a burnt toast maltiness, too.
T - It tasted of spicy hops, burnt toast malt and caramel. It had a bitter citrusy hop kick.
M - It was crisp and sharp with a dry finish. A light to medium-bodied beer.
D - This was fantastic, an APA that almost tastes like an IPA. Founders continues to crank out great beers.

12oz bottle.
This beer pours a slightly hazy medium golden amber colour, with one skinny finger of tight foamy white head, which leaves some DNA strand lace around the glass as it falls away. It smells of bready malt, citrus hops, buttery yeast, and a bit of pine needle. The taste is somewhat sweet, clean grainy malt, soft citrus and pine hops, and an underlying muddled yeastiness. The carbonation is moderate, the body medium weight, a bit clammy, but generally smooth. It finishes clean, a tad crisp, and nicely balanced between the non-overreaching flavour counterpoints.
Easy to drink, if you don't expect too much from the hops – just enough to even everything out, and lo and behold – you're ordering another…

Founders Pale Ale, although "dry hopped", is pretty standard fare. Not that that's not good, but it's not exactly like there haven't been brewers following in the steps of Sierra Nevada for well over a decade now.
It pours a hazy (it's bottle conditioned) amber-orange beneath a full head of frothy off-white foam that holds remarkably well and leaves wide walls of pretty solid lace about the glass.
The aroma is citrusy, and perhaps a light touch piney. Malt is minimal, and never quite edges over the fruity edge of the hops.
In the mouth it's medium in body with a delicately zesty carbonation from natural conditioning.
The flavor, following the aroma, displays drying citrusy hops (grapefruit rind) with some very gently piney notes as well; and there's also a fairly solid base of gently biscuity malt, and some yeasty notes for additional depth. Along with a stiff bitterness, it's gently resiny with hops, and the yeast adds a little bit to the dry finish as well.
Nicely done. Balanced a bit towards hops, but certainly not out of balance, and quite drinkable.

A - Pours with half a finger of white foam on top of a light copper colored body with a touch of haze. The head settles quickly and leaves minor lace.
S - Light pine hops with a bit of a sweaty note and some bready malt in the background.
T - Toffee and bready malt up front. Some pine and herbal hop flavors in the middle. Finishes with more sweet malt and some toffee as well as light pine hops.
M - Medium-thick body, moderate carbonation, and a slightly sweet finish.
D - This is a very standard pale ale. Some hops, quite a bit of malt, very drinkable. Nothing to write home about.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of fruity citrus, hops and light caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out with a nice burst of grassy hops bitterness. Then a citrus and caramel sweetness comes in to provide a good balance. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, mild kick, very good representation of style, this is an excellent beer to drink a lot of when you're looking to pound down something mild but hoppy.

Pursuit From Under
Often, in these blue meadows,
I hear what passes for the bark of seals
And on August week ends the cold of a personal ice age
Comes up through my bare feet
Which are trying to walk like a boy's again
So that nothing on earth can have changed
On the ground where I was raised.
The dark grass here is like
The pads of mukluks going on and on
Because I once burned kerosene to read
Myself near the North Pole
In the journal of Arctic explorers
Found, years after death, preserved
In a tent, part of whose canvas they had eaten
Before the last entry.
All over my father's land
The seal holes sigh like an organ,
And one entry carries more terror
Than the blank page that signified death
In 1912, on the icecap.
It says that, under the ice,
The killer whale darts and distorts,
Cut down by the flawing glass
To a weasel's shadow,
And when, through his ceiling, he sees
Anything darker than snow
He falls away
To gather more and more force
From the iron depths of cold water,
His shadow dwindling
Almost to nothing at all, then charges
Straight up, looms up at the ice and smashes
Into it with his forehead
To splinter the roof, to isolate seal or man
On a drifting piece of the floe
Which he can overturn.
If you run, he will follow you
Under the frozen pane,
Turning as you do, zigzagging,
And at the most uncertain of your ground
Will shatter through, and lean,
And breathe frankly in your face
An enormous breath smelling of fish.
With the lungs staining your air
You know the unsaid recognition
Of which the explorers died:
They had been given an image
Of how the downed dead pursue us.
They knew, as they starved to death,
That not only in the snow
But in the family field
The small shadow moves,
And under the bare feet in the summer:
That somewhere the turf will heave,
And the outraged breath of the dead,
So long held, will form
Unbreathably around the living.
The cows low oddly here
As I pass, a small bidden shape
Going with me, trembling like foxfire
Under my heels and their hooves.
I shall write this by kerosene,
Pitch a tent in the pasture, and starve.

Friends of Music Series at St. Paul's Begins 2013 Season
St. Paul's organist and choirmaster John Cummins began the Friends of Music Series at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. He was determined to have a core of early music with historic instruments and vocal music practice, fully utilizing the historic gothic building at St. Paul's.
Thanks to the Peggy Norfleet Memorial fund he's been able to continue the Friends of Music Series and to expand its emphasis to include a wide variety of musical styles.
Friends of Music is sponsoring three concerts so far in 2013. The first features keyboard master Andrew Willis from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. He'll be giving a recital on one of his fantastic fortepianos on Sunday, March 3 with music by Beethoven, Haydn, Bach, and more - all music composed between 1773 and 1803. John stopped by for a season preview, but first Andrew spoke with David Ford about the magic of the pre-cursor to the modern piano—the fortepiano—by phone from his studio in Greensboro.

Bishop T.D. Jakes is not a fan of Oxygen's hit reality series, "Preachers of L.A."
Taking the show to task during a sermon Sunday (ironically during offering time at his church, The Potter's House), Jakes "rebuked" the notion that some churchgoers might have had that giving him money would be paying for his house, his cars and other items (proverbially like bishops on "Preachers of LA").
"Now, I know you been watching that junk on TV. I want to tell you right now, not one dime of what you're sowing right now will buy my suit. I want you to know my car is paid for. I want you to know I got my house on my own. I want you to know I'm not bling-blinging. I am not shake and bake. I had money when I came to Dallas and I plan to have some when I leave," an impassioned Jakes told parishioners. "You did not buy what I got. I had it when I came here. You know I had it when I came here. The devil is a lie! I have sold enough books and produced enough movies. I don't need your offering to pay for this little slimy suit. So I rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus Christ! We are going to build the Kingdom of God like we have always built the Kingdom of God. I am not from LA. I'm from Dallas! Y'all don't hear me! I do not need you to buy my car. I got this!"
By the way, Bishop Jakes (also host of BET's "Mind, Body & Soul") added the following on Twitter.
"We all set out to make a difference in the world, but the first step is to achieve the less lofty goal of changing our own world."
To be fair, T.D. Jakes was not the only pastor to take on "Preachers of L.A." in the pulpit this past Sunday, but he is (thus far) the only prominent leader to be captured on video actually saying the show's name, "Preachers of L.A."

I have spent 26 years in the oil industry. I quit two years ago when it became a job and not an adventure. I quit to become a full time real estate investor. I have several houses and duplexes and am a partner in a 440 unit apartment complex. I am looking for a hotel now. At meetings I have been asked by potential investors how I can prove I am honest since they do not know me from Adam. Well I have a concealed carry license so I have been fingerprinted and checked out by the FBI and they feel I am moral enough to carry a concealed firearm. When in the oil field I had a TWIC card to go into "sensitive areas" what ever that is, which means that again I was finger printed and checked out by the FBI to insure that I am not a terrorist and am moral enough to be allowed in "sensitive areas". My wife and I have fostered Children for the State of Texas for eight years before adopting the last 2 we were fostering. I had a license to foster so that means again I was checked out by the FBI to ensure I do not abuse children and am moral enough to care take for children for the state of Texas.
I go to the Vineyard church of Conroe and if you ask I can give you Pastor Raymond McDonald's number and you can ask him about me.
I believe in win win solutions and want everyone to have a good experience in the deal. I like to pay my investors high returns on their money so we can do it again and again.
God Bless
I own 8 rental houses, 6 duplexes and am a partner in a 440 unit apartment complex. I have bought off the court house steps, from real estate agents and from whole salers. I have done complete rehabs from the studs in. I have tangled with the city of Houston inspections office. I am a member of the Real estate Investment Club of Houston, Lifestyles real estate club, Wealth club in Houston, and RI5 investment club.
To own several hotels and cash flow so that I am not dependent on the government or anyone else for my living. I am willing and able to take people with me that want to work out financial security. Hotels are a team sport and I need some financial team members that either have some money to invest for interest and ownership or good credit so we can get a loan for me to pay off. Good credit means min. 700, 750 or higher is better and you must have 2-3 revolving credit cards in use. My score is only 640.
A hotel. Owner financing is offered and need 300K to get into it. Cash flows currently and can do better. Offering interest on the money and % ownership in hotel. contact me at 936-203-0604 or [email protected]
If you have good credit you can be a credit partner. We can get a $200K loan at the business Finance Store and you will be a 10% owner for helping me land the loan.

Many NH hospitals cut from Anthem insurance list
"We are well aware the concept of a narrow network is new to New Hampshire," Rogers said. "Do we need 26 hospitals to serve our plan? We decided we didn't."
Appearing before the Joint Health Care Reform Oversight Committee Wednesday, Anthem officials said the company did a national survey and found people overwhelmingly preferred lower prices over access to health care.
"Now we are not going to have the doctor of our choice, the hospital of our choice or the plan of our choice," said committee co-chair, Rep. John Hunt, R-Rindge.
The network plan is expected to be approved by federal regulators within the next two weeks, according to Maria Proulx, Anthem NH's senior legal counsel. State regulators have already recommended Anthem's offering to the federal Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services.
Sanborn said people in the state are going to be shocked at the beginning of the year.
Steve Ahnen, president of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, said his organization's concerns "are patients getting the right care, at the right time, at the right place or are they having to travel great distances to get their care."
Under the Anthem plan, emergency care in non-network hospitals will be covered and patients with on-going serious illness will be able to continue their treatment.
