I have volunteered/been appointed to make cupcakes for the end of school picnic for my son's preschool at Easter Seals. I wanted to also make a cake for the teachers, since they will be around for a few days AND just last week when I was in a meeting with the social worker/event coordinator, she mentioned that she has heard about my cakes and cupcakes, but never got a chance to see them and maybe they will start using me for all of their cake needs (Easter Seals does a LOT of family events). It's not really a graduation cake, since almost all the children are coming back next year...
I don't know that I want to tie in the "special needs" aspect of the students, but I could. I saw a cake in the gallery that was adoracble...iced in white buttercream with fondant and chocolate letters and "school items" on it....but does anyone have any other suggestions?
You could do a cupcake cake, they look really original and impressive. You could do a fun in the sun theme since the kids are heading into the summer time. Hope that's helpful. Good luck!!

When we mail/recieve our gifts...
What is the procedure? LOL.
Do we put our name/return address on it or is it supposed to stay a surprise who it is from until it is opened? Are we not allowed to open the box/package at ALL until the day we are all opening? I ask because I am considering not actually wrapping the gift itself but just having it in a cute box/mailer.....?
When are we supposed to ship by? Can I ship it early?
Re: When we mail/recieve our gifts...
I was just wondering about this, too. If we ship it ourselves we HAVE to put a return address, and that will give away who sent it. Or am I having a serious attack of preggo brain right now?
Re: When we mail/recieve our gifts...
Remember to PM me or email me and let me know when you've mailed so I can mark it off
Re: When we mail/recieve our gifts...
I'm going to have to have it shipped directly from the gift registry. Hope that's OK! Otherwise it would have probably been late coming all the way to Korea and then going all the way back to the US. Should be able to get it gift-wrapped, though the billing address will probably give me away.
That's no problem! :)
Re: When we mail/recieve our gifts...
When I mail secret stuff i tend to just put my return address with no name or my DH last name (haven't changed mine yet) so it stays a surprise.
Oh and I am so excited everything I see I want to get for my partner it's hard for me to narrow it down when it comes to the kiddos:) lol!
Re: When we mail/recieve our gifts...
I used secret partner and it was shipped and sent fine

Protestantism in Contemporary China
Full Product Description
This study investigates the historical and political conditions which have contributed to the state of the Protestant community in China, and the kinds of spirituality and religious life that it has evolved. The authors draw on extensive fieldwork, and offer fascinating insights into the beliefs and practices of a little-documented section of Chinese society. They show that healing, protection, and vengeance by gods have been deep-rooted elements of Chinese religiosity for several hundred years, notions appropriated by Christians who now emphasize the powers of Jesus. Chinese Protestantism is seen to result from an interesting blend of the old and the new, and comparative material is adduced which sets Protestantism side by side with Catholicism and Buddhism, the two religions in China of comparable scope. A wide range of sources are utilized by the authors, and these lead to one of the most complete and detailed surveys of Christianity in China ever produced.
Protestantism in Contemporary China by Alan Hunter; Kim-Kwong Chan was published by Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing) in May 2010. The ISBN for Protestantism in Contemporary China is 9780511627989.

Mark Kaboly | Tribune-Review
It's unknown whether or not the Steelers will be in the market for an offensive coordinator less than 12 months after hiring Todd Haley.
Haley was granted permission by the Steelers to interview for the vacant Arizona head coaching position, and some people believe that the former Cardinals offensive coordinator is the front-runner to get the job.
The question is if Haley does go back to Arizona, who will take over the Steelers' offense?
There is no doubt that running backs coach Kirby Wilson would be the front-runner to take over the offense.
Of course the Steelers would do their due diligence and interview other candidates, but no doubt Wilson would be the odds-on favorite to take over the offense … just like he was last year.
A team source with intimate knowledge of the situation confirmed to me that Wilson would've been the man to replace Bruce Arians if it wasn't for the house fire that burned more than 50 percent of Wilson's body two days before the AFC wild-card game against Denver and 15 days before Arians was fired. The same source said that Wilson is still very interested in becoming an offensive coordinator.
Instead of promoting Wilson last year, the Steelers had no choice but to go in a different direction because of the uncertainty of his health.
Fast forward a year later and Wilson may find himself back in the same situation as he was before he was injured.
Wilson's health is a non-issue as well. He's back to near 100 percent and was seen jogging around a darkened Steelers indoor practice facility the other day with no hint of his life-threatening injuries a year ago.
Not only does Wilson want the job, he would likely excel in the position as well. There is not a coach on the staff who is as respected as Wilson and not one who has as much drive.
So if Haley does decide to go to Arizona, expect Kirby Wilson to be at the top of the list to replace him.

So many gruesome things have been happening lately in the airspace. Many travellers are beginning to think twice before they opt to fly.
On March 8, 2014, the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing; to date its whereabouts continue to defy the edict of technology and human wisdom.
Four months later another Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down on July 17. Just the other day, another plane went missing; Air Algerie Flight AH5017 left Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso and was bound for Algiers. Somewhere midway the flight, it went missing and was later reported to have crashed around the Burkina Faso boarder area of Gao.
Meanwhile, in June, our own Air Uganda was grounded on account of safety and regulatory glitches involving Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority.
About a week ago, I was on the Addis Ababa bound Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET 701 from London and something weird happened. Right next to me was a gentleman who for some reason was so unsettled during preparations for flight takeoff. As passengers continued to board the aircraft, he paced from his seat to one end of the aisle and back. He did this so many times.
When he tried to settle in his seat, he pulled out his mobile phone and made over 10 phone calls in a space of five minutes. He looked disturbed, uneasy, anxious name it! In short he was just too unsettled.
As he continued to wiggle and waggle in his seat, two bundles of 100 bills of pounds slid from the side pockets of his kaki tour pants – he quickly picked the money and stood up to put it in the handbag that he had earlier placed in the overhead locker. He took to his seat again and continued with his sudden moves.
I could no longer take it anymore; I walked to one of the airhostesses and stated what was happening – which I thought and felt was a bit out of the ordinary. After about a minute of stating my case, Hostess Rahel looked into my face and said, "sir, please take your seat, we are now busy completing preparations for takeoff; we will check the passenger once we've taken off from the ground".
I was very shocked about how lax the hostess was with an issue that touched on the security and safety of all on board including herself.
With chills in my spine, I sat down, fastened my belt, said my prayers and awaited 'anything'. My neighbour remained unsettled, making telephone calls during takeoff, contrary to the on-board safety advice.
Even before the seatbelt sign was turned off, he had already unfastened and was standing up to pick something from the overhead locker; I warned him that it was still unsafe to unfasten. Generally his behaviour on board could be described as intolerable and disruptive.
About 15 minutes into the flight, the busybody gradually drifted into slumber.
Hostess Rahel who had given me assurances that she would check the passenger out after takeoff did not do so.
So, what if my fears and suspicions were anything to go by? I probably would not be writing this; may be you would be reading about a notorious Flight ET 701 in which a Ugandan called Crispy Kaheru 'was on board'.
In brief, in this era of terrorism, it is better to be safe than sorry. The vigilance of the public on security issues should not be taken for granted. People's vigilance must enlist effective response from the respective custodians.
Lastly, each one of us has an equal responsibility to contribute to a safe and secure environment.

Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative (AAALI)
The Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative (AAALI) is a six-year partnership between CDC and leading national organizations representing the populations hardest hit by HIV.
Launched in 2009, the AAALI initiative initially brought together some of the nation's foremost African American organizations to intensify HIV prevention efforts in black communities. In 2010, CDC expanded AAALI to also include organizations that focus specifically the Latino community and on black gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM).
More About Act Against AIDS Partnerships
Why does AAALI focus on specific communities?
AAALI partner organizations were chosen based on their demonstrated national reach, credibility and influence, as well as their ability to effectively reach these impacted communities through their existing communication channels and mobilization activities. The effort brings together a wide range of organizations, including civic, social, civil rights and professional organizations, as well as those in government, education and media.
What does it mean to be a part of AAALI?
AAALI partners conduct a wide range of communication, mobilization and outreach activities. Examples include:
- Holding education and training sessions on HIV prevention at national and regional membership conventions
- Integrating Act Against AIDS and other HIV prevention messages into community forums
- Prominently placing Act Against AIDS and other HIV prevention public service announcements (PSAs) and news stories in broadcast and print outlets throughout the nation
- Working with celebrities to produce PSAs about HIV prevention
- Training and funding local chapters to implement community-based HIV awareness campaigns
- Working to educate national, state and local policymakers and community leaders about the role of HIV prevention in advancing the well-being of African Americans, Hispanics and gay and bisexual men of all races
- Extending Act Against AIDS campaign messages through organization publications, Web sites and public appearances
What have AAALI partners accomplished?
Examples of accomplishments by AAALI organizations include:
- Placement of an Act Against AIDS PSA in Times Square, reaching more than 1 million people in New York City
- A series of radio interviews with key public health leaders on the importance of HIV testing, reaching more than 43,575,000 listeners
- Radio PSAs on HIV prevention featuring celebrities such as Angela Bassett, Laila Ali and Jamie Foxx, among others
- A nationwide health and HIV education tour reaching 60,000 people in 25 cities across the country
- HIV testing for more than 13,900 attendees at AAALI events
- A national tour to build HIV awareness in African American communities
- A Physician Toolkit providing information on HIV testing and risk-reduction counseling to more than 2,000 African American doctors
- A series of articles and YouTube videos featuring African American leaders in the fight against HIV
- Community town halls and forums led by congressional and local leaders in New York, South Carolina, Washington, DC and more

London, United Kingdom, 2007/02/14 - Frost & Sullivan finds that Virtual Screening Opportunities in Drug Discovery in Europe generated revenues of $93.2 million in 2006 and estimates this to reach $228.4 million in 2013.
Suppliers in the highly competitive and fragmented European virtual screening market face challenges such as limited scientific audience and the lack of common technology standards. Also, despite the high demand for software tools, companies need to develop and introduce the right kind of tools and solutions to broaden their customer base. The key to success will be to demonstrate to customers the value that can be created by proper implementation of in-silico solutions.
Frost & Sullivan (healthcare.frost.com) finds that Virtual Screening Opportunities in Drug Discovery in Europe generated revenues of $93.2 million in 2006 and estimates this to reach $228.4 million in 2013.
Increasing economic pressure on the pharmaceutical industry to develop new drugs in a faster, efficient and more economic way than in the past has led to the emergence of several new methods aimed at a more efficient and rapid lead structure discovery process.
"Recent advances in combinatorial chemistry have made it possible to synthesise large libraries of compounds, and high throughput screening (HTS) provides a considerable reduction of the time needed for the discovery of new molecules possessing biological activity for a certain target," comments Frost & Sullivan Drug Discovery Team Leader Dr. Amarpreet Dhiman. "With experimental efforts to carry out the biological screening of billions of compounds still high, computational techniques and computer-aided drug design approaches have emerged as promising tools in helping researchers decide what to screen and synthesise."
Most pharmaceutical companies now have access to models that seek to predict key properties of the chemical structures that their research teams plan to synthesise. These range from the simple application of the ubiquitous Lipinski's rule of five, to the relatively sophisticated integration and scoring of a range of predictive models. While the rising use of predictive in-silico models is encouraging, much research remains to be performed to demonstrate appropriate confidence in the output of currently developed models and broaden the chemistry space covered.
In the drug development process, the data most readily available is that which concerns efficacy and selectivity. Often, at this point, researchers will transfer the compound to a preclinical stage using animal models, where the data becomes less consistent from study to study.
To create the most accurate predictive models, software developers need to have access to accurate and consistent data, so that they can model interstudy variations and reduce those variations to key characteristics. However, for a number of reasons, information from different laboratories is often not compatible, and thus a reasonable amount of consistent data is needed to build better models.
"Many companies are using in-silico techniques, but there is concern that these models are causing promising compounds to be disregarded based on in-silico model results," adds Dr. Dhiman. "This is resulting is some scepticism and uncertainty in the acceptance of these tools."
Informatics applications for toxicity screening is an area requiring further development and proof of concept studies, as confidence among researchers remains limited. Companies are very sceptical about the reliability of these models compared to actual experimentation. The prediction that in-silico models would replace in vivo and in vitro testing is yet to be fulfilled with current landscape favouring the belief that the best results will occur through a simultaneous use of all available tools.
"To allow companies to reap the benefits from in-silico studies, in the first instance, the data generated needs to be of high quality, reliable and accurate," advises Dr. Dhiman. "A key to achieving this objective would be to develop tools that facilitate data consolidation and information sharing; then systems would be standardised, allowing for solutions that integrate data from numerous tools and experiments."
Moreover, manufacturers should offer their services in data management, training and tool maintenance among others. They should function as both service provider and product developer. By partnering with clinical organisations, informatics and tool companies, manufacturers would be able to create solutions that best meet research needs.

MUNICH (Dec. 14)
Wolfgang Hedler, a leader of the rightist German Party, who last night delivered a violent anti-Semitic speech while addressing party officials at Einfeld, near Bonn, seat of the West German Government, today resigned from the parliament. His resignation was demanded by parliament members immediately after the contents of his speech became known.
An announcement of Hedler's withdrawal from the parliament was made by Dr. Erich Hoehler, president of the House. He said that the state government of Schleswig-Holstein was expected to apply shortly for the lifting of Hedler's parliamentary immunity.
In his speech at Einfeld, Hedler said that Germany can be rebuilt without Jews. He criticized Kurt Schumacher, leader of the Social Democratic Party, for speaking out against the Nazi barbarities against the Jews. "Schumacher talks so much of Hitler's barbarism against the Jews," he said. "On whether the gassing of Jews was right, everyone should have his own opinion. Maybe there were other methods of cleaning Germany of the Jews.
"Schumacher did not talk about German refugees," the German Party leader continued, "but of the reconstructive powers of the Jewish spirit. Therefore, the Jews will again become impertinent." Hedler also labelled all members of the anti-Nazi underground in Germany "traitors" who "sabotaged Germany's war potential and led to its unconditional surrender."

Sound — 7
I play a fairly wide variety genre-wise, but probably mainly I play overdriven blues, post-grunge, and old style thrash metal. I also will occasionally play classic rock, outlaw country, and assorted other genres that might catch my entrance for a few months at a time. The RG471AH is pretty versatile in matching whatever genre I need it to perform for. I play through a Peavey Transtube 212 EFX, a Blackheart Little Giant, an Orange Crush series, or through my Vox JamVox or Line 6 TonePort UX2 with Gearbox software. As effects with my amps, I use an Electro-Harmonix Germanium 4 and a Big Muff pedal, as well as an Ibanez ToneLok delay and occasionally use a Vox Tonelab ST multi-effects processor. The majority of the time I am only using my amps' distortion and reverb, and go to pedals when I am chasing a specific tone. The Ibanez RG471AH has the same 'weakness' that most of the Ibanezes I've owned have had, which is that the pickups are mediocre. They aren't necessarily bad, but they just don't have the character that a set of DiMarzios would have. I don't have any problem getting as heavy as I want with the Infinity pickups that come stock, can easily get pinch harmonics, and can easily get good clean tones as well it is just they sound a little flat to me. Again, I may be being a little picky, but I believe I'm going to replace the humbuckers with some DiMarzio Breeds. Just to be clear, the stock pickups aren't bad, they just sound mediocre and plain to my ears. I have this guitar tuned to C standard and have been using it mostly for post-grunge type music, as well as some desert rock at the moment as that was one of the most recent music genres to catch my attention.
Overall Impression — 7
I've been playing approximately 5 years or so, and I own several other guitars. I currently own a G&L S500 Tribute Series, an Xaviere XV-599, Ibanez AXD83P, and an old Ibanez RG with the original Wizard I neck. I've recently owned and either sold or traded an Epiphone G400, an Ibanez RG370 and an Ibanez RGD. My overall impression of the RG471AH is that it is very versatile, it has a great neck and frets, the pickups are mediocre and bland and that the finish is dangerously thin. Before I bought this I wish I had realized there was a walnut flat finish because it looks much better to me than the natural flat. If this were lost or stolen I might get the same guitar if I was restricted to the same price range. Honestly, I've been looking at replacing this guitar with a Carvin which is, of course, in a whole different price range. I think this guitar would be ideal for neo-classical shred for the guitarist who doesn't like tremolo bridges. It takes low tunings and alternate tunings well, but would benefit immensely from a pickup upgrade.
Reliability & Durability — 6
Unfortunately, this section is where the RG471AH has to lose some points. The finish is very thin, and while I've been very careful and haven't damaged it yet I live in a constant state of anxiety about it. I did not find any imperfections on the guitar when I received it new, but just waiting for it to happen. In the past I've had problems with Ibanez RGs with the hardware oxidizing but so far that hasn't occurred with this specific guitar, so that is a good sign. As far as playability I would trust this guitar for a gig, though I'm not really a gigging musician, I do jam with friends and don't think anything would happen to make this guitar non-functional. I do, however, see a likelihood of damaging the guitar with dents and dings, which I guess if I relax and let it happen then over time it will give the guitar character instead of just look bad. Having only owned this guitar for 3 months I can't give much more detail for durability yet.
Action, Fit & Finish — 8
The action was pretty low when I received this guitar, but after putting some Ernie Ball Not Even Slinkys on here, I re-adjusted the intonation and neck and got the action even lower Probably close to 1/16th of an inch and no fret buzz. I'm very happy with the action and the neck as being the best qualities of this guitar. The pickups were adjusted properly and no adjustment was needed to their height or angle. I'm not sure what kind of sealant was used on the ash body, but it doesn't really feel like it is giving much protection. It is maybe a very thin matte finish, but I'm not sure. The Ibanez website does not say for sure. I do know that I've heard someone say they've had one of the Ibanez RG471AH's that had spilled some things on it, and it had dyed the wood, which really makes it sound like there is no type of sealant at all. I know the body feels smooth, and I'm not going to spill anything on it to see if it will absorb it and dye the wood. The weight of the guitar isn't bad it isn't extremely heavy and isn't extremely light. The jumbo pickups with this neck profile are great and chords and single notes are extremely easy to fret. As much as I feel nervous about the finish, I am so impressed with the action, neck profile and frets that I have to give this an 8.
Features — 8
The Ibanez RG471AH comes in two separate finishes, the natural flat or walnut flat. I ordered the natural flat because at the time I didn't realize the walnut flat finish was available. I believe mine was manufactured in 2011. The body is ash and the neck is 3 piece maple. The RG471AH has a Wizard III neck with 24 jumbo frets and a 400 mm neck radius, which translates to 15.74 inches. You also get the standard sharktooth inlays that come with the Ibanez RG series on a bound rosewood fretboard. The bridge is a Gibraltar standard bridge, which is a non-tremolo bridge with separate saddles for each string to get the string intonation dialed in exactly right. The strings are through body before feeding into the bridge which gives great sustain. The Ibanez Infinity pickups (which are passive pickups) are two humbuckers with a single coil in the middle. The bridge and middle single coil pickup in the middle are alnico, and the neck humbucker is ceramic. You also have a 5 way pickup selector and one volume and one tone knob. The features I would have liked to have seen on this guitar are some coil splitting switches or a push-pull pot. Also, I would have liked to have seen some other finish options and a pickguard.

In Germany, U.S. Official Addresses Rift With Allies
By MARK LANDLER
Published: October 26, 2006
Seeking to heal one of the deepest rifts between the United States and its European allies, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales said here on Wednesday that the Bush administration had done a poor job of explaining its legal principles in its effort to prevent terrorism.
But he also faulted European countries, which have criticized the American military prison at Guant?mo Bay, Cuba. He said they were reluctant to take back their own citizens when released and had been insufficiently helpful in negotiating with other countries for the safe return of prisoners facing mistreatment in their own lands.
''We have repeatedly asked our European allies to join in these efforts,'' Mr. Gonzales said in a speech to a polite, skeptical invited audience. ''But despite demands that Guant?mo be closed, the United States has received little help from our European allies regarding the fate of these detainees.''
The diplomatic initiative by Mr. Gonzales comes amid growing concern over the conduct of German soldiers, including photographs that surfaced on Wednesday that appeared to show German troops in Afghanistan posing with a human skull.
Mr. Gonzales declined to name the countries he said were being uncooperative with regard to returned prisoners -- especially, he said, while standing on a podium ''in this great country.''
His comment, delivered with a thin smile, seemed to suggest that Germany was among those the United States regarded as laggards.
Germany's responsiveness has come under scrutiny in the case of Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish-German man who was imprisoned at Guant?mo for more than four years, partly because of Germany's reluctance to take him back. Last August, Mr. Kurnaz was finally returned home, eight months after a new chancellor, Angela Merkel, raised his case in a meeting with President Bush.
In general, however, Mr. Gonzales seemed intent on reaching out to Europeans rather than rebuking them.
''There has been a lot of friction'' in the trans-Atlantic relationship, he said. ''We are partly to blame for that. We didn't do as good a job as we should have from the outset in explaining ourselves.''
Mr. Gonzales, the legal architect of some of the Bush administration's toughest policies toward suspected terrorists, said he was deeply disappointed that many people overseas did not believe that the United States, or Mr. Bush himself, were committed to protecting the rule of law.
He defended American policies on the detention of ''enemy combatants,'' the rights afforded them by military commissions, and the role of the Geneva Conventions in the treatment of prisoners.
Mr. Gonzales's European tour, which includes stops in Spain and the Netherlands, coincides with a growing concern here that Germany has compromised its own principles in helping the United States in its worldwide effort against terrorism. It also comes at a time when Germany published a proposed new defense policy that would pave the way for the country to play a bigger role in international peacekeeping missions.
There are no fewer than five formal investigations under way here relating to terrorism and the German military. The issues raised include accusations that the Central Intelligence Agency transferred prisoners to secret prisons in Eastern Europe, and questions about whether the German government was aware of such transfers, as well as whether German soldiers mistreated Mr. Kurnaz in Afghanistan, as he contends, before he was sent to Guant?mo.
The Defense Ministry denies that German soldiers abused Mr. Kurnaz. But the military has opened an investigation into his accusations.
''Our guys are supposed to be in Afghanistan to help stabilize things, not to kick around prisoners,'' said Volker Perthes, director of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. ''This embarrasses us and qualifies a bit our discussion about what American soldiers are doing in Abu Ghraib.''
The photos that appear to show the German troops posing with a human skull have added to the concerns. Some of the photos, published Wednesday in the mass-market newspaper Bild, depict the soldiers placing the skull on the hood of a jeep as a grisly emblem.
Bild did not say how it had obtained the photos. The paper said they were taken in 2003 near Kabul, and involved German troops serving as part of the international security force in Afghanistan.
The defense minister, Franz Josef Jung, has ordered an investigation. ''Such activities are diametrically opposed to the values and behavior we teach our troops,'' he said to Bild.
Reports of military abuse carry an obvious historical echo in Germany, Mr. Perthes said, and could generate opposition in Parliament to the country's continuing involvement in Afghanistan.
In particular, there are questions about the deployment of soldiers belonging to an elite rapid-response unit of the German Army known as the KSK. The activities of these troops in Afghanistan are cloaked in mystery.
Parliament is also investigating whether the German government was aware of the possible C.I.A. activities in Europe. That has put Mrs. Merkel in an awkward position, since her foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was a high-level adviser to her predecessor, Gerhard Schr?.
The previous government is also under scrutiny in the case of Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen who was abducted in Macedonia in 2003 and turned over to American agents, who flew him to Afghanistan, on the mistaken belief that he was involved in terrorism.

Agartala (Tripura) : Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh on Saturday said the PDP and BJP came together to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir despite ideological differences to give respect to the mandate of the people.
Singh, who is on a one-day visit to Tripura, talking to the media after a brief meeting with Chief Minister Manik Sarkar at the state secretariat here said the PDP and BJP entered into an alliance on the basis of development.
"The alliance was primarily devoted to development and, therefore, the two parties came together despite ideological differences in the interest of the masses and to give respect to the mandate of the people," Singh said.
He further stated that the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in favour of overall development of the nation, including the bordering state of Jammu and Kashmir and the north-east region.
"None of the states, particularly those located at the periphery, whether it is Jammu and Kashmir or it is the north-east, should be deprived of this benefit. So, let all us all be a part of this development journey led by Prime Minister Modi which has given us huge amount of respectability even globally. Therefore, I think both parties came together with that thought and motivation," he added.
The BJP had on Friday unanimously decided to form a coalition government with the PDP and decided on supporting Mehbooba Mufti as the Chief Minister.
It elected former deputy chief minister Nirmal Singh as legislative party leader who would be the party's candidate for the post of Deputy Chief Minister.
The PDP and the BJP today called on Jammu and Kashmir Governor N. N. Vohra to stake claim to form the government in the state. (ANI)

Can anyone give information on a Coalbrookdale Severn wood stove.
Here's a wiki article link about Coalbrookdale:
There's not too much info on this side of the pond, but here's a link to a UK review site:
Are you looking for one as a coal or wood burner? If coal, have you tried the forums at www.nepacrossroads.com?
Not looking for one , my daughter bought a home and the stove was left. Want to know if it is a stove someone would want to use. My daughter has no use for it.
Depending on the condition of the stove, it may still have good value. How much is hard to say without seeing it. We would have to have pictures of exterior and interior to be of greater assistance.
If you want to give it away, post in the Articles for Sale forum. It should go quickly.
They are nice stoves for wood burning - short burn times, but nice heat.
They also burn hard coal decently.
You should surely be able to give it away for the hauling or even sell it if you want to go through the trouble of doing so.
The classified here, ebay and craigslist all work well for selling stoves.

1. Fluor Rope Square Stampede Festivities at Olympic Plaza (daily until Saturday, July 13)
If you've been living under a rock for the past week, you'll be surprised to learn that the city is currently in the middle of our ten-day Stampede flurry. While the heart of the event beats, screams and eats at Stampede Park, you can catch smaller festivities at Olympic Plaza. The daily events start with a flapjack breakfast and continue throughout the morning with a daily parade of old rigs (coaches, doctors buggies, etc) and colourful dance performances by members of the five tribes of Treaty 7 in their traditional First Nations attire. There's also musical entertainment, flap jack flipping contests and more. See the online schedule for full details.

The series features a different artist each week until Wednesday, August 28. Performances run from 6-8 p.m.
3. Poutine Eating Contest at The Roadhouse (Wednesday, July 10)

Down as many gravy soaked cheese curds from The Big Cheese as humanly possible for a chance to score even more gravy soaked cheese curds. Proceeds from the $50 entrance fee will benefit the Calgary Food Bank, and the greatest glutton will win a year's worth of free poutine (and some other goodies).
4. Bike-in Cinema at Riley Park (Thursday, July 11)
5. Midway Science at Telus Spark (Thursday, July 11)

The High Sierras are the subject of one of next month's featured artists at Sewell Gallery Fine Art in Eureka. Peter Holbrook's exhibit includes recent oil paintings inspired by more than 30 years of photography in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and runs through Aug. 31. The public is invited to meet the artist at a special reception during Arts Alive! on Aug. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Considered a realist painter, Holbrook brings forth the majesty of the mountains in pieces that are not only technically sound but also have an expressive flair that makes them visually appealing.
Holbrook was born in New York City in 1940 and lived in an upstate, white-collar suburb through his grade-school years. His high school years were spent in Massachusetts at Deerfield Academy and his college years in New Hampshire at Dartmouth College. Summers he spent working in Maine, Cape Cod and Colorado.
After leaving Dartmouth with a bachelor's degree in 1961, Holbrook spent a couple of years hitchhiking around the world, from Europe to the Middle East to India and Africa. He then put in a year at The Brooklyn Museum Art School. During the remainder of that decade he lived in Chicago, working at a variety of jobs (draftsman, carpenter, taxi driver) while beginning to exhibit professionally. By 1968 he was in "Who's Who" and teaching at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus. In 1970 he retired to Northern California and built a house and studio where he now lives and works.
Everywhere he goes, Holbrook is attentive, noting how light, land and water interact in myriad ways. He uses photography to collect reference material and capture visual qualities where he looks for shapes, color and quality of light. Dramatic rock formations, and the effects that wind and water erosion has on them, is where "you can see the geological passage of time in them," he said.
Holbrook spends many hours reviewing and manipulating the photos until a certain combination of compositional and environmental elements emerge to inspire a painting.
Holbrook's paintings will be on exhibit in August at Sewell Gallery, 423 F St. in Eureka. Call 269-0617 or visit http://SewellGallery.com for more information.

Innovative Website Launches to Connect First-Generation and Underrepresented Students with Colleges and Scholarships
College Greenlight helps underserved students and community-based organizations connect with colleges and explore financial opportunities
College Greenlight, a nationwide online portal for first-generation and traditionally underserved students to research and connect with colleges and scholarships, unveiled its website today at the National Partnership for Educational Access annual conference.
A new service of industry-leading college search site Cappex.com, Where Colleges Apply To You®, Greenlight makes it possible for first-generation and underrepresented students to discover, apply to and attend their best-fit colleges and achieve better college outcomes. Students who create a free profile on the site can find colleges that are the right fit academically and socially, as well as pinpoint campuses that provide support programs to aid in their success once enrolled.
College Greenlight helps expand the college network available to students and provides an engaging environment for learning about and connecting with colleges.
"Too often, students from under-resourced backgrounds find their options for attending college limited," said Jonathan April, general manager of College Greenlight. "College Greenlight expands the universe of opportunities available and helps students discover colleges that match them academically, socially and financially, greatly increasing their chances of success.
"In addition, colleges across the country are seeking to increase their level of diversity. College Greenlight is the first site of its kind that has the active involvement of colleges, helping them find students from a variety of backgrounds that will be successful on their campuses."
Another unique attribute of College Greenlight is that it will provide a hub for community organizations and mentors to support their students throughout the application process as well as to monitor their success throughout their college careers. Through the site, mentors will be able to keep track of key outcomes such as applications per student, FAFSA completion rates, college acceptances, graduation rates and financial aid received. The site will be free to community-based organizations and the students they serve.
College Greenlight has selected Chicago Scholars as its first Premier Partner. As a Premier Partner, Chicago Scholars will provide the service to its more than 800 students mentored from the college selection and application process through college graduation and beyond. "We think College Greenlight is a game-changing platform, helping to level the playing field for our students," said Karen Foley, president of Chicago Scholars.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Carleton College, and Oberlin College will be the first three universities to use College Greenlight to connect with students.
"As the largest university in the state, we are committed to serving the diverse students in Illinois," said Stacey Kostell, University of Illinois director of admissions. "We are looking forward to connecting with high-achieving students through College Greenlight to help us meet that mission."

Last week was an interesting seven days for our MVP race. Derrick Rose has been out with an injury, which left room for others to move up in the ranks. D-Wade is back to playing MVP-worthy basketball, which makes things a bit tougher for LeBron individually. Kevin Durant's level of play is ridiculously consistent, despite Russell Westbrook taking basically the same number of shots as him.
So the race isn't LeBron's to lose, despite what people are thinking. There is a lot to be determined in the oncoming weeks in the NBA MVP race. At this point in the season, you can't count out anybody, but by the recent looks of it, Kobe Bryant is slowly shooting himself (literally) out of contention, Tony Parker is still cooking and Chris Paul is conflicted.
The competition heats up in our third edition of our weekly "Race to the MVP" Watch. Here is our MVP update for last week, (Monday through Sunday)…
*** *** ***
10. TONY PARKER – Last week: 25 ppg/9.3 apg/2.8 rpg
Last Week: No. 10, maintaining
Through four games since last Monday, Tony Parker averaged just about 25 and 10 against some pretty good teams. Not only was he scoring, and distributing, he was shooting an efficient field-goal percentage. In his only two home games last week, he went 13-for-18 against Washington with 31 points, then another 31 against Dwight and co., shooting 12-for-21 which is still above 50 percent.
In his 1st game on the road he went 10-for-22 at OKC with 25 points, which was enough for the victory. Then on Saturday the Spurs took their first lost of the week at Dallas, but Parker had a double-double with 13 and 11. Now with the addition of Stephen Jackson, TP gets another seasoned vet, and yet another scoring threat to distribute the ball to.
TP is in a tight spot right now in the MVP race. In the upcoming weeks he could either move past Kevin Love with the success of his team as the deciding factor, or he could fall out of the top 10 with the way Andrew Bynum has been playing recently.
9. KEVIN LOVE – Last week: 25.7 ppg/12.2 rpg/1.0 apg
LW: No. 7, falling
Kevin Love finally came back down to earth against Pheonix on Tuesday in his first game without a double-double since the end of February. However, he picked it right back up with three double-doubles against the Jazz, Lakers and Kings respectively, although they were all in losing efforts. Kevin Love's individual play has been off the charts, but he just can't seem to translate it into wins. That's been his problem all season long. If he can begin to get consistent wins and put the Timberwolves in a comfortable position to become a playoff team, he can make significant strides in this MVP race. It's really hard to fathom the impact Kevin Love could have on different team. You could only imagine where he would be in this MVP race if he were playing for a more competitive team.
8. CHRIS PAUL – Last Week: 15.8 ppg/9.0 apg/5.0 rpg LW: No. 5, falling
It's been tough goings for Chris Paul and the Clippers as of late. They've been losing more games than they've been winning recently, and just can't seem to close games out down the stretch. Chris Paul is still trying to limit his shot attempts and create more for his teammates, which are his natural instincts, but when games come down to the stretch his rhythm just isn't there.
With the absence of Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul has officially turned into the number one scoring option for the Clippers late in games; He just hasn't seemed to realize it yet. Blake isn't developed enough to be the go-to-guy for the Clippers down the stretch, and frankly there just isn't anyone else for Chris Paul to turn to. He's got to realize that it's time for him to become more aggressive and really start winning some games for his team: 3-2 last week in five games, which is better than the 1-3 they went the previous week. They have the addition of Nick Young who can help in the scoring department, but it's gonna take some work for CP3 to get the Clippers riding high again.

FRENCH VALLEY -- Four Camp Pendleton-based Marines carrying shotguns and jewelry returned to a Fallbrook apartment on the same night a Winchester couple was shot to death and robbed, a witness testified Friday.
Pvt. Kevin Cox congratulated the youngest member of the group, 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Emrys Justin John, but it was unclear why, Cox's girlfriend Melissa Buck testified.
Cox told her that John "grew up tonight," and "earned his stripes." John later said he was proud of himself, according to the testimony of Buck, who lived at the apartment with 22-year-old Lance Cpl. Kesaun K. Sykes.
Her testimony, which included admissions of dishonesty, consumed the second day of the preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center for John, 19; Cox, 21; Lance Cpl. Tyrone Miller, 21; and Sykes. The hearing started last month.
When the hearing is completed, Judge Judith Clark will decide whether there is enough evidence to order the defendants to stand trial.
All four men are charged with two counts of murder in connection with the slayings of Sgt. Jan Pietrzak, 24, and his wife, 26-year-old Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak.
John is the only defendant charged with using a gun and, along with Miller, was assigned to Sgt. Pietrzak's unit at the time of the slayings.
The four defendants also are charged with committing murder during a robbery and committing multiple murders -- making them eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
On Oct. 15, Riverside County sheriff's deputies were asked to check on the couple after Sgt. Pietrzak didn't report to work.
Deputies found the newlyweds' bodies in the living room. Their bodies were bound and gagged and each had gunshot wounds to the head, according to authorities.
Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak was sexually assaulted and racial epithets were spray-painted inside the Bermuda Street home in an attempt to mislead investigators, authorities have testified.
Parts of the two-story home had been ransacked and belongings, including jewelry, were stolen from the Pietrzaks, authorities said at the time.
Jan Pietrzak served in Iraq from July 2005 to February 2006, according to family members.
The couple had just married in August and moved into their new home about four months before the slayings.
Sgt. Pietrzak was a helicopter airframe mechanic. Jenkins-Pietrzak worked for the Riverside County Public Health Department's Black Infant Care Center in Perris.
Buck, 25, testified after being granted immunity from prosecution by authorities in Riverside and San Diego counties.
Over the course of six hours, Buck's testimony touched on several points.
She said she lied to a detective investigating the Pietrzak slayings, admitted participating in a robbery at the home of an Oceanside drug dealer and talked about her daily use of marijuana.
When questioned by Deputy District Attorney Daniel DeLimon, Buck said she lied to a detective about how she got a pair of diamond rings.
In November, Buck told an investigator that Cox, her boyfriend, gave her the rings, which were later identified as Quiana Pietrzak's engagement ring set.
"I lied," she whispered.
"Why did you tell them Kevin Cox gave you something if he didn't?" DeLimon asked. "It hurts his case."
"That's why I'm telling you I lied," she replied in a hushed voice.
DeLimon asked if she was still committed to Cox even though he is facing the death penalty.
Buck looked down and said she was.
Cox's lawyer, Jeff VanWagenen, asked Buck where she got the rings.
"You told (an) … investigator where you got those rings?" VanWagenen asked.
Buck said she found the rings in a Ziploc bag that was stored in a closet at her apartment.
"You told this to Mr. DeLimon?" VanWagenen asked.
Buck said she told DeLimon and an investigator from his office last month that she lied to another investigator.
While she could not recall what day it was when the four defendants came into her apartment with shotguns, she said did have a way of checking on when these things happened.
Buck, who was fighting with Cox at the time of the murders, had written three letters that night.
On each letter she notes the date and time, she said.
Buck said she later looked at one of the letters and saw that it was dated Oct. 15, with the time noted as 1:41 a.m.
VanWagenen asked about her fight with Cox.
"Was it a fistfight, or boyfriend-girlfriend stuff?" VanWagenen asked.
"No," she said. "Kevin would never hit me."
The hearing is scheduled to resume June 16 before Judge Judith Clark at the Southwest Justice Center in French Valley.
All four men are being held in jail without bail.

Student 'feels the pressure' to go on to university
Students started arriving about an hour before they were allowed to get their A-level results at Newcastle-under-Lyme College.
At 9am envelopes were opened and feelings were mixed.
Overall in England, Wales and Northern Ireland there has been a drop in the number of A and A* grades handed out, the first time that has happened for more than 20 years.
There was good news for the boys too as they got more A* than girls for the first time.
Ben Poole, 18, was one of them.
"There's a bit of satisfaction in it," he says. "All these people who say exams are getting easier, they're not in touch.
"Exams are not getting easier and maybe they were harder this year than they have been before."
Tuition fees
Natalie Slater, 18, is one of the students at the college who specialises in sport.
She has already represented England in table tennis and wants to go on to university to study physiotherapy.
This year new, higher, tuition fees come into force in England with some universities charging up to £9,000.
"They have gone up quite steeply now but it's worth it," says Natalie.
"I'm getting three years of solid education, more theory and learning more."
Tom Bevan, 18, is going straight into a business and administration apprenticeship.
He says: "There was a certain amount of pressure to go to university.
'Uphill struggle'
"I felt like the odd one out, especially when it came to filling out the Ucas forms.
"I fancy the idea of earning money rather than racking up debt.
"I didn't want to spend three more years in the classroom. I wanted to get into the work place and learn career skills."
Peter Potts, 20, didn't quite get the grades he was hoping for but he has still secured his first choice place at university in Aberystwyth.
His mum died last year and he says it has been a hard 12 months.
"It brought me down for a couple of months and, with my dyslexia, it's been an uphill struggle.
"Today the dividends have been paid. I'm feeling really good."
The number of university applications has fallen 7% this year.
Students is Scotland got their Highers results last week and achieved record grades.

Digging a little deeper on our first quarter. Our gross local and national television ad revenue growth of 3.3% to $58.3 million is on top of the 17.6% growth recorded in last year's first quarter. First quarter 2011 local revenue rose by 3.7%, national revenue was up 2.1%. The strength in automotive advertising continued for us in Q1. Category revenue rising 10% year-over-year, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue gains in automotive ad spend for Nexstar.Nexstar's television ad revenue strength, combined with continued double-digit growth in retransmission fee, mobile, and e-MEDIA elements of our quadruple play of revenues and our quarterly management fee revenue collectively resulted in a 1.9% increase in total first quarter net revenues to $69.9 million. Additionally, we generated first quarter BCF of $24.8 million, adjusted EBITDA of $20 million, free cash flow of $3.6 million, all of which are record levels for an odd year first quarter. Let me quickly review our quarterly and recent financial highlights, and then Tom will take you through additional detail. Our first quarter retransmission consent fee revenues were $8.5 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 15.6% and a quarterly sequential increase of 11.8%. We're starting to see the benefits of our newest contracts now rolling into the mix for 2011. Q1 e-MEDIA revenue came in at $3.7 million, and that surpassed last year's first quarter by 23.8%, marking the 18th consecutive quarter of growth for Nexstar's community web portal and mobile media strategies. In the first quarter, we recorded $500,000 of management fee revenue from our services agreement to manage the Four Points Media Group. We're entitled to performance compensation, as we generate broadcast cash flow for the station group above the specified specials in our contracts, and we achieved solid upside on this front in the third and fourth quarters of 2010, and we expect that to be the case again later this year.

Rows of shops selling beach buckets and flip-flops line the seafront of Benidorm, the Costa Blanca's largest and liveliest holiday resort town, where hordes of tourists throng the streets 24 hours a day. Of the thousands who come to holiday here on the town's three miles (5km) of white sandy beaches each year, many have stayed and purchased apartments in the numerous blocks that now dot the skyline. Benidorm, north of Alicante, is the party capital of the Costa Blanca with an unrivalled nightlife and a daytime carnival-like beach culture.
Remnants of Benidorm's historic past are now well hidden, but tucked into the Casco Antiguo section are the ruins of a castle built in the 14th century to fend off Berber pirates. Benidorm's spectacular sunsets are best viewed from the castle's 'mirador' (balcony). The place to see and be seen in the town however is the Playa de Levante, a two-mile (3km) boardwalk lined with trendy cafés and bars
Resort Rating
Benidorm's major holiday attractions are its spectacular beaches. The two huge sweeping crescents stretch for over three miles (5km) and are known as Levante and Poniente - Spanish for sunrise and sunset. They are kept meticulously clean and are consistently voted among the cleanest and most popular beaches in Europe. All sorts of watersports can be organised from the beaches from swimming and diving off the man-made rafts to jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing and scuba diving. On the outskirts of town tourists can visit the water parks or Terra Mitica, Spain's largest theme park with a terrifying roller coaster. There are also loads of options for those wishing to escape Benidorm for a day; beautiful mountainous countryside surrounds the holiday resort and jeep safaris and cycle trips around this rugged interior are becoming increasingly popular. Alicante, 25 miles (40km) south of Benidorm, is the Costa Blanca's main city and has a number of interesting sights. Other good days out include a coach trip to the ancient mountain fortress at Guadalest, built by the Moors in 715, and the town of Altea with its delightful medieval cobbled streets and beautiful Mediterranean views, eight miles (13km) north of Benidorm.
Top-rated restaurants in Benidorm include Paneil's, China Garden, India Gate, Mme Butterfly, The Vagabond and Witches Bistro. All the major fast food restaurants are also available and the old harbour is the best place to try out the local cuisine.
Benidorm is one of the biggest nightspots on the Med with something to suit all preferences. There are loads of bars hosting live shows, quizzes, bingo, karaoke and drag shows& and lots of live bands playing everything from Abba to ZZ Top. Those looking for a party in Benidorm should go to Wheeltappers, Sinatras, the Palladium or the Stardust Benidorm.
The streets of Benidorm are lined with gift shops catering for people on holiday and the supermarkets are fully stocked with well-known brands. Prices in the holiday resort are cheap, particularly alcohol and cigarettes. There is an open-air market every Wednesday and a rastro(car boot sale) every Sunday next to the railway station. The town of Altea is worth a visit on Tuesdays for its outdoor market or simply for a leisurely stroll along the promenade, while Alicante is a good destination for shoppers in search of some more sophisticated shops.
Benidorm is not a good choice for those wanting an authentic Spanish holiday; it's a bit like Blackpool in the sun, but for those looking for entertainment and nightlife it can't be beaten. The resort abounds with hundreds of persistent touts trying to sell tourists everything from trinkets to timeshare apartments. There are also insistent promotions staff outside the bars and restaurants, but can be worth chatting up as they sometimes offer free drinks. However, as with any party destination there have been reports of drinks being spiked, visitors out on the town should be wary of leaving their drinks unattended or accepting drinks from strangers. Benidorm caters for all ages; older visitors may think there are too many youngsters while others think there are too many OAPs!

So Grace Harding brings Mary Jo home to her nearby ranch. She and her husband, Cliff, have a houseful of guests, but they offer her a room over their stable (currently sheltering the animals - including a donkey and a camel - for Cedar Cove's Nativity pageant!).
When Mary Jo goes into labor that night, a young man named Mack McAfee, a paramedic, comes to her rescue, just as her brothers - the three Wyse men - show up in town. The people of Cedar Cove join them in celebrating the birth of baby Noel. But no one has more to celebrate than Mack. Because this Christmas brings him faith, hope and love...
What would the holidays be without a Christmas story from Debbie Macomber?

"loved this book"
I just want to say that i really have enjoyed this story, it has really put me in the mood for Christmas and the true meaning. I hope you enjoy this as much as i have and as a side note this book is clean so my daughters can also hear this book they are young teens so they also like romance but i am needing them to be clean books
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"Kindness, Family, Christmas"
I love this modern day tale of an unwed mother, with three older brothers, who want to "defend her honor". And I very much appreciate that real life Christians, when faced with a choice to love or condemn, chose to do what our Lord would do . . . what He DID do. This is a precious story of mistakes, love and redemption. And listeners who are put off by "Christian overtones", must have somehow missed the title, A Cedar Cove CHRISTMAS. There is no Christmas without Christ. And for those who have been hurt by the church, rest assured there is none of that in Debbie Macomber's books . . . so come to the stable where the Christ child lays and rest your weary soul. You will be glad you did.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"What a disappointment"
STORY - This sounded like it would be a fun holiday listen...a modern twist of the classic Christmas story written by a famous author. It's a novel idea that I think could have been so much better than it was. There are, of course, parallels between this story and the classic, i.e., Mary Jo for the Virgin Mary, the three Wyse brothers for the three wise men, but some of them are so far-fetched they should have just been left out. (Like seeing fireworks and saying, "Look, follow that star!") There is way too much detail that served no purpose but to drag things out. Some of the dialogue between the three brothers is so stupid and repetitive it made me want to SCREAM!!!!
On the positive side, the story is cozy and full of holiday cheer. I loved Mack, and the ending of the book is very touching.
PERFORMANCE - The narrator definitely gets an A for effort. This female narrator actually tries to distinguish between the three brothers' voices -- something which many male narrators don't even bother to do. It kinda works and kinda doesn't.
OVERALL -- I've never listened to a Debbie Macomber book before, so die-hard fans might like this story. My advice, however, is to skip it.
"Heart felt."
Debbie writes so beautifully, with wonderful descriptions, so much heart felt & realistic.
You help me find things, people that I want & look forward to having in my life.
I enjoyed the narrater Sandra also.
Thank-you for the many hours of joy & good tears...
Chris G
"Nice story, but..."
Whenever the reader imitated male voices, she sounded like an Oompa Loompa. After a while it was annoying. The story was nice and a great, cherry holiday read.
"wonderful holiday story"
This is a feel good story for the holidays. It helps you find your Christmas spirit and reminds you of what is really important. An easy read during the busyness of the holidays and life.
"Mary gives birth on Christmas Eve"
A nice Christmas story.
Glad we knew some of the characters from Cedar Cove on TV.
"Loved it"
As always it never fails to enjoy a cedar cove story. Can't wait to start the next book
To see what cedar cove has in store
Romance & espionage are my faves–but I like/review almost everything! If review is helpful please vote 'yes.' Consider following me. :-)
"Cheesy-Grandmother Might Like It-Not Mine"
This was an attempt of modernizing the Greatest Story Ever Told (Jesus' birth) - it begins with a single, very pregnant, young woman - Mary Jo Wyse...I WILL give kudos to Debbie Macomer for not trying to recreate the Immaculate Conception, but....
Mary Jo takes off from the family home to look for the father of her unborn babe. His family lives in Cedar Cove but he can't be found nor can any of his family.
She rolls into town and feels faint at the library. The fire department and the young, handsome, single fireman/EMT comes and helps her through her swoon.
A bunch of strangers offered to help the pregnant woman and she is amazed by their goodness and benevolence. One of them has an apartment above her barn and offers it to her for the night (because all the Inns and B & B's are full.) It just so happens there's a bunch of animals; mule, sheep, horse, A CAMEL, etc. (a camel in Washington State in December at an individuals residence, come on, now!) hanging out in that barn-from the live Nativity the preceding weeks.
Mrs. Macomber tries to make analogies throughout to the real Christmas story, but it's really cheesy. Mary Jo has three brothers (whose business is 3 Wyseman Builders) who frantically look for her in Cedar Cove-an island, etc.
Anything else I say will give away and spoil, if you are a diehard Debbie Macomber fan, you may like this.
For me its a miss...I'll stick to the original
Publisher's Summary
Mother-to-be Mary Jo Wyse arrives in Cedar Cove on Christmas Eve, searching for her baby's father. David Rhodes had said he'd be in town. But he isn't. Which leaves Mary Jo stranded, pregnant and alone. And there's no room at the local inn....
So Grace Harding brings Mary Jo home to her nearby ranch. She and her husband, Cliff, have a houseful of guests, but they offer her a room over their stable (currently sheltering the animals - including a donkey and a camel - for Cedar Cove's Nativity pageant!).
When Mary Jo goes into labor that night, a young man named Mack McAfee, a paramedic, comes to her rescue, just as her brothers - the three Wyse men - show up in town. The people of Cedar Cove join them in celebrating the birth of baby Noel. But no one has more to celebrate than Mack. Because this Christmas brings him faith, hope and love...
What would the holidays be without a Christmas story from Debbie Macomber?

Something heavy and meaningful - maybe a Marc Cameron book
The narrator matched the material.
It was SO cheesy...is that a reaction? Eyeball rolling, disappointment.
I really do not mean to be such a downer on Debbie Macomer. I really enjoyed the first book that I read "16 Lighthouse Road"n - it was catchy, romantic and clever.
I picked up 3-4 other titles as they were on sale, as I listen I've determined I'm not a fan.
Macomer has a lot of fans and I'm not sure why I don't warm up to her material as so many seem to. Perhaps it's a generational difference. As I said, I really enjoyed the first book that I read but the others after that have fallen flat. That is not to say she is bad most reviews are to the contrary of mine.
NOTE: Completely 'safe' to play with kiddos around
CREDIT/$ Worthy: In my opinion, no on all counts
I just Love the Allure of a Great Romance...a Pair of Rose Colored Glasses...some Fine Wine, and a Subscription to Audible...
"Christmas Spirit is Alive and Well in Cedar Cove"
If you are in the mood for some Christmas Spirit, A Cedar Cove Christmas by Debbie Macomber is just the ticket! Definitely credit worthy! Make a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy!

SALT LAKE CITY — One Utah lawmaker is taking a new approach to get some of the state's most vulnerable people the care they need.
And he's doing it out of an urging from some friends of the poorest of the poor, who realized too late in the game last year that while they were rooting for full Medicaid expansion in Utah, they may have missed a chance for even a slight change that would do good for many.
"I and others have put in a significant amount of time trying to address this issue and trying to find the best solution that will pass the state policymakers and federal policymakers and it just hasn't happened," said Rep. Jim Dunnigan, R-Taylorsville. He said there is little taste in the Legislature to take up the issue of Medicaid expansion again.
Multiple attempts to expand Medicaid and extend health care to some 77,000 Utahns in the coverage gap have failed to win both the Senate and the House in Utah. It remains one of about 16 states that has not adopted Medicaid expansion and is among a handful still discussing the matter as it pertains to the Affordable Care Act.
"But there is this population that has a definite need for treatment," Dunnigan said, adding that any step to insure Utahns who aren't eligible for existing programs or don't make enough money to cover insurance costs is a "major improvement from where we are today."
And while it may be tough to envision a party-aligned, budget-balancing group of legislators budging to include more on the Medicaid rolls, Dunnigan and others think there's a chance.
Last year, the Utah Senate passed a bill similar to the governor's Healthy Utah plan that would have covered all 53,000 under the poverty level, and the House of Representatives backed Utah Cares, which would have made Medicaid available to another 20,000 Utahns under 33 percent of the federal poverty level. But neither gained support of both houses.
Bill Tibbitts, director at the Crossroads Urban Center, a facility that provides various resources for Utahns who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless, said either bill would have been a "big deal for the people we serve."
"We have a lot of people who are close enough to the edge that an unplanned health care problem or medical emergency would send them over," he said. "Health care isn't something people want, it is something that they need."
Tibbitts said he regrets not getting behind actions that were taken by lawmakers during last year's session to cover the consensus of at least a small portion of Utah's uninsured population. He said many were hopeful that a full expansion plan would pass, so little attention was paid to other efforts.
"If there is a possibility of getting something done — anything — then, I want to support that," he said.
Months ago, Tibbitts and others approached Dunnigan, who has been at the head of discussions on the issue of Medicaid expansion for years, about the possibility of backing another bill to expand the program.
Dunnigan told the Deseret News he was reluctant, but if there was community support for the measure, as he was shown there is, he'd take it on.
Instead of pushing for expansion under the Affordable Care Act, which would require federal approval and likely another lengthy and possibly contentious fight in the Republican-controlled Legislature, Dunnigan's bill will seek to expand the current offerings of Utah's established Medicaid program to cover "the poorest of the poor," he said.
"If we could get a percentage of those people the care they need, it would change things for a lot of people," Tibbitts said. "In a state where we've never covered childless adults, covering a share of them is a big deal."
Dunnigan said, "there are many pluses to doing something," even if it isn't full-blown expansion.
His proposal, he said, is "simple and straightforward, helping those with the lowest income, who probably have the greatest need." Coverage would be extended to people based on income — the federal government's preferential eligibility requirement; and service would be delivered under already established accountable care organizations. Dunnigan also said he would include a mechanism to adjust eligibility to ensure a balanced budget for the state — something lawmakers previously opposed to a full expansion have expressed sincere interest in.
"It is something we could get started relatively quickly and evaluate to see what the real costs are," he said, reaffirming that his plan "has nothing to do with Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act."
Dunnigan said he believes there will still be some lawmakers who don't want to do anything, avoiding the issue altogether. But, he said, there are some who will accept it because it is helping the most needy and provides the budget certainty they desire.
"It's a reasonable and good approach," he said. "There is value in going forward, in starting with something."
He believes the minor expansion of benefits to Utah's poorest childless adults could help the homeless situation downtown, as well as the justice system as it deals with recidivism rates. It will also chip away at the costs of uncompensated care that hospitals and clinics provide people who ultimately can't afford to pay their bills.
"At the end of the day, the greatest benefit will come to those eligible and who take advantage of the coverage in getting their conditions managed and addressed," Dunnigan said.
Jean Hill, government liaison with the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, said her organization is on board with anything that will help at least some people get access to benefits that "could be life-changing" for them.
The diocese works with a number of people who have been released from prison but still deal with various mental health or substance abuse disorders, keeping them from being able to hold down a good job. Hill said the current system "sets them up to fail," often forcing them back into prison to get the health care they need.
She said Dunnigan's proposal is in line with the state's initiative for justice reinvestment.
"There are a number of people with mental health issues for whom that kind of coverage could make a difference in getting a job and getting off the streets," Hill said, adding that she believes a majority of convicted Utahns "want nothing more than to be independent contributing members of our community."
"You have to have help to do that," she said.
The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City plans to rally other faith leaders in support of taking even small steps forward, and Tibbitts said he knows others will step up.
He has spoken with downtown business owners, whose operations are often disrupted by homeless people acting out mental health issues on the street or in a store. And money spent on health care services for needy people at the Fourth Street Clinic would go much further with even just a small portion of newly eligible patients relying on Medicaid — if Dunnigan's bill passes.
"The need is real," Tibbitts said, adding that for many people the bill would help, their health and/or mental condition is often a part of why their income is so low.
"If we could get a percentage of those people the care they need, it would change things for a lot of people," he said. Public outbursts, Tibbitts said, lead to societal costs, whether in jails, emergency rooms, at court and otherwise.
"There's a lot of concern about homelessness in the Salt Lake City area," he said. "There's at least an awareness that we need to do a better job of taking care of that population. If the House and Senate both passed a bill that would provide care to this population last year, but couldn't agree to do more, they should at least agree to do that."
Dunnigan's bill has yet to be filed, and it will be one of many seeking to expand benefits in some way. At least four other legislators have opened bill files relating to Medicaid expansion, including Rep. Robert Spendlove, R-Sandy; Rep. Ray Ward, R-Bountiful; Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City; and Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City.
But, Dunnigan is clear, his bill is not in the realm of the federally regulated Obamacare, but rather focused on a specific need in Utah. And, while it will include some homeless Utahns, it will also help others who are not homeless but who suffer serious health conditions for which they need treatment.
"Let's start helping them get started on getting their lives back," he said.

Led by sophomore point guard Ashton Gibbs, Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J., is rolling along with a 28-2 record. This summer, Gibbs, 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, will play up with The Playaz Club 17-under team, and a number of coaches will be watching him.
"Rutgers has offered him," said Gibbs father and former AAU coach Temple Gibbs. "Connecticut, Georgetown, Seton Hall and a lot of other Big East schools are recruiting him.
"He's still open, and I'm not sure of a timetable as far as a decision goes."
Gibbs, who is averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, is a strong floor general who can both shoot the ball and handle it very well.
"The main thing Ashton needs to work on before he gets to college is his man to man defense," said Mr. Gibbs. "He also needs to get better at moving without the ball.
"Ashton works extremely hard and puts in a lot of time on his own. He is also a very hard worker in the weight room."
Gibbs also does well in the classroom, carrying a 3.0 GPA.
