CORNELIA - Habersham County had a confirmed rabies case recently and one at the end of December.
For that reason, animal care and control officials want to give county residents a convenient opportunity to get their pets vaccinated.
"Due to our recent confirmed rabies case, we will be having a rabies clinic on Saturday the 29th at Tractor Supply in Cornelia," said Madi Hawkins, Habersham County Animal Care and Control director.
One-year vaccinations by Cornelia Veterinary Hospital will be offered from 1-3 p.m. for $10.
"Keep your pet safe - vaccinate," Hawkins said. "And remember, it's Georgia law!"
Tractor Supply Co. is located at 310 Habersham Hills Circle, Cornelia.

Programme 1: Marbella, Spain
The Danker Family
The perfect antidote to the post-Christmas and credit crunch blues, The Great Escape features four stories of different Irish families who made the break with Ireland and moved lock stock and barrel to start a new life in another country.
The first programme features the sunshine and blue skies of Spain and the story of the Dankers from Terenure in Dublin who moved to Marbella in search of a better life. Stay-at-home mother Suzanne and former antiques dealer Howard moved to Marbella with their two young sons in July 2007.
Go-getter Suzanne set up a wedding planning business for Irish couples getting married in Spain, while Howard planned to set up an antiques business. The programme follows their progress as they depart from the grey skies of Dublin through their first year in Marbella as they contend with starting from scratch in a new country.

Note from contributor, W. P. Perrin:See
"Judging by the baby being held, the picture was taken in 1902 or 1903. By the number of people in the picture I am fairly confident that the first row is made up on the T.A. Stinnett family from his second marriage.
From left to right would be:
Lottie Stinnett,
Thomas Stinnett,
Sarah Jane Hall Stinnett holding Thomas Walter,
Ethyl R Stinnett
and the boy on the right is
T. J. Hall, a stepson.
On the back row are 6 of the 7 Stinnett girls shown in the [Stinnet Daughters photo]. I can identify two of the girls: Kate Stinnett is 4th from the left and Fannie is the furtherest to the right.
I assume the picture was taken in front of their home which would be about 2 miles to the east of the Henry Thomas Lodge where Thomas Stinnett ran a store on the first floor."

The way I've bumped into that is when playing with pg_standby: 1. Create base backup, set up standby 2. Let pg_standby catch up, so that it waits for the next segment to arrive. 3. killall -9 postmaster 4. Start standby again 5. Create trigger file, before recovery catches up again (that is, before it reaches the point where it was before killing it) Now that we have the "smart" mode in pg_standby, that's harder to do by accident, but can still happen if you e.g remove a WAL file from archive. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

NCDOT starts grade separations along Piedmont Corridor
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in the US has started construction on rail safety upgrade projects along the Piedmont Corridor between Raleigh and Charlotte.
The projects will include the construction of new grade separations, including road and rail over and underpasses, and highway-rail grade crossing closures.
The improvements will mean that trains on the Piedmont Corridor will be able to travel faster, while road congestion should be reduced and safety at crossings will be enhanced.
In North Carolina, there are over 7,000 highway-rail grade crossings, out of which 300 are located along the Piedmont Corridor in Rowan and Guilford counties.
As part of the programme, new overpasses and underpasses will be built to separate rail and vehicular traffic in the two counties, which will eliminate 17% of the grade crossings in the region.
The projects are part of the North Carolina Piedmont Improvement Program (NCPIP), supported by a grant of $520m from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The upgrades are intended to improve safety for train passengers, motorists and pedestrians, and will also help boost the general performance of the freight and passenger rail network.
US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that the series of projects will create jobs, and promote economic growth and more liveable communities.
"North Carolina's Piedmont Improvement Program is strengthening freight and passenger rail service, while also delivering substantial road improvements to reduce congestion and make highway-rail grade crossings safer," LaHood said.
The programme includes 12 projects, which aim to separate rail and highway traffic in the region.
The Piedmont Corridor is part of the Southeast High-Speed Rail Corridor, which runs from Washington to Charlotte, with plans to extend to Atlanta, Georgia.
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) administrator Joseph Szabo said: "The safest crossing is one that doesn't exist, and NCDOT is now on its way to eliminating 50 crossings between Charlotte and Raleigh while building strategic underpasses and overpasses."

Durban – After questions were raised about their bench Sharks forward Tendai Mtawarira insists they have the necessary depth to challenge for Super Rugby honours.
The Durban franchise beat the Lions 37-23 on Saturday to move top of the competition standings, although they struggled to assert any dominance in the second half with their replacements in play.
Director of rugby Jake White shouldered some of the blame, saying he made changes too early and Mtawarira felt it was something which would improve.
"We've got great depth and it's something you'll see more as the season progresses," he said.
"We have guys who are not even playing that can contribute a lot to the team Ä like Keegan Daniel and Jacques Botes Ä so I think we've got depth."
JP Pietersen also returned to duty on Tuesday after a spell in Japan.
Springbok prop Mtawarira said the season had gone according to plan with the Sharks having won three out of three with two bonus points.
"We've been working very hard every week and we've had the rewards so far," he said.
"A lot of the guys have come of age and we've now got that experience on our side. You can hear on the field that everybody is talking and it's really great to have that."
The 28-year-old said White had made a definite impact in his first year in charge.
"Jake has a certain way he wants to play. I think he's a very clever man and knows exactly what he's doing.
"For us it's been a good change and one we're really enjoying. We're playing a brand of rugby that everyone is liking."
He also felt the pre-tournament favourites had not yet hit peak level.
"You can feel the confidence is growing. We're not even playing to our full potential yet, so every player has to keep on working hard to get there.
"Jake is very good at getting that out of players, so I'm sure there'll be further improvements as the season continues."
The Sharks face 2011 champions, Australian side the Reds, in Durban this weekend.
Patrick Lambie is expected to be fit again after withdrawing at the last minute against the Lions due to illness.
However, they will be without Odwa Ndungane as the veteran winger has been granted compassionate leave. – Sapa

A proposal to reduce federal retirement annuities and Social Security benefits by switching from the CPI-W to the chained CPI for purposes of determining cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) has received serious consideration in budget negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders.
Lower COLAs would hurt seniors, who are already facing increasing medical costs, which even the current method does not adequately weigh. For all the technical jargon that is thrown around Washington to justify the proposal, in the end, it amounts to a cut in the benefits federal workers earned over the course of their careers.
Use NARFE's calculator to estimate how the proposal would reduce your earned federal annuity. After finding out, follow the link and send a message to your representative and senators, urging them to reject reducing your earned benefits.

Although Webber has been there since 2007, why does no-one take note of the even more experienced Coulthard, who worked with the team since 2005?
I'm not quite sure how does DC figure in this discussion since we're not judging the drivers by how far back in time they had started with the team. or who was there from its infancy.
Up to and including Britain 2012, there was 9 races. Taking the rain-hit Malaysia equation, Vettel was faster than Webber in the races 5 to 3 times – hardly a walloping you seem to insinuate.
Agreed that 2011 was a horrible year for Webber even taking into account the car didn't suit him.
I don't think he went to sleep in the 2nd half of 2010 like you said though. While his last win at Hungary that year was in August, he was still scoring podium finishes and serious points thereafter although his championship was slowly being chipped away. He choked at Korea and Abu Dhabi to be fair though. A Korean podium was easily attainable and would have won him the title but for his mistake on a wet track.25th September 2012, 16:10 at 4:10 pm #207906
I think it's more that he appreciates that without Webber, Red Bull probably wouldn't be the team they are today, and therefore, he has a lot of respect for him and wants to reward him with the option of continuing on in the team.
That sounds plausible. People also sometimes forgot that Webber has been there since 2007. Quite a number of the mechanics and staff have been working together with Webber for the last 5 years. I would think they, and the newer staff as well, appreciate someone who has no airs like Webber around; we haven't heard stories of staff having any problems with him. Apart from Helmut Marko of course who just sits back, does nothing much of note compared to the hard-working mechanics, engineers etc and shoots off his mouth whenever Golden Boy is being outshone by Webber.
It is also very peculiar how as soon as Webber signed a 2013 contract extension after being courted by Ferrari (prompting Red Bull to offer him a 2013 deal in haste), he started to have "issues" with his car and became so uncompetitive compared to Vettel. Before that, he had delivered 2 fine wins and scored more points compared to Golden Boy.25th September 2012, 13:28 at 1:28 pm #207902
Sorry it is my mistake. I meant Helmut Marko actually. Edited my post accordingly.
Some of Helmut Marko's comments against Webber are really embarrassing. Turkey 2010 the nadir.
Dietrich is a known Webber fanboy? Wow, i really didnt know that.
He is hardly seen at races at all for an owner of 2 F1 teams and does not attract much publicity so the fact that he is a Webber fan if true is understandably not that well-known.25th September 2012, 12:39 at 12:39 pm #211043
They would never extend the circuit to North Bridge Road. As it is, it is already congested on its own before the F1 diversions and there is no way the city officials will close off that road.
Apart from the expressway, its the ONLY relatively direct road left in the city after the F1 diversions that can channel traffic from the financial office areas in Shenton Way and Chinatown to the other side of town near Raffles Hotel on the east side and beyond.
If you truncate that part and keep it only to the parallel St Andrew's Road and Beach Road though, it looks quite a promising idea indeed. Very creative the parts between pit straight and Point 2. It goes past some of the traditional shophouses in fact and of course the grand old dame Raffles Hotel on Beach Road.
Point 2 – same thing they would never extend to North Bridge Road. Connaught Drive towards Anderson Bridge would be possible only if the cars are already racing in 2 single files before it even reaches Connaught Drive. A Mickey Mouse chicane would have to be installed way before that to achieve the filtering.
Left acute turn after Point 2 is not possible in reality…. that road you see is actually a flyover that goes over Nicoll Highway so there is no way even for now that traffic can turn in there from Nicoll Highway to reach Beach Road. (flyover is actually an exit road from the expressway that runs over the circuit). Would have to be done at the earlier Middle Road junction.25th September 2012, 10:05 at 10:05 am #211040
it is definitely not as you pointed out but if the authorities want to extend the track to the MBS area (and keep the Crashgate stand while ditching the portion between the Cricket Club and Anderson Bridge portion), this is really just about the shortest route i can find.
In fact, it is longer than the current circuit by a good 830m but a lap time around the revised circuit could arguably be faster than the current one.
There are 4 fewer turns in total along with 2 very long straights and 1 medium-length straight where the cars can hit top speed for a longer duration.25th September 2012, 10:05 at 10:05 am #207896
Strange thing is, i actually rooted heavily for Vettel in his early days and his Monza 08 win with Toro Rosso was a truly magical moment and a fresh breath of wind to people bored of seeing the usual suspects win all the time.
I was eager to see him do well and his 2009 performance and also amiable general behavior in particular endeared him to alot of people and me as well who see him as a likeable young gun eager to do well in the sport he loves.
But events in the 2010 season started to portray him in a different light and after that i was genuinely turned off by him and never really liked him since.25th September 2012, 9:47 at 9:47 am #207895
I respect Vettel but i don't really like him too much.
He sounds a bit plastic to me to be honest; a bit too fake. I don't get that feeling even with Schumacher before.
People also dislike him being a bit of Mummy's boy (well, Helmut Marko actually).
Help it or not, some fans are suspicious of Helmut's influence behind the scenes and the kind of treatment dished out to Webber at Turkey 2010 illustrates especially why; when the fault was immediately pinned on Webber whereas Helmut was pandering to Golden Boy Vettel and ensuring he did not have scratch or had his feelings hurt boo hoo.
There is also doubt whether Webber does receives equal equipment throughout a season. Silverstone 2010 saga was one where the team was eager to switch the front wing from Webber's car to Vettel (i didn't buy the story of them doing it because Vettel was leading Webber in the table). Lest anyone say this is nonsense, i would ask how many times have Webber's car suffered from KERs/gearbox issues this year compared to Vettel? Not saying that the mechanics deliberately sends Webber out on track on 3 wheels and with no steering wheel but they definitely are that bit more careful with Vettel's car than Webber's. Such perceptions of unfair treatment meted to his team-mate doesn't help Vettel's cause as well; people don't really like seeing him attain what is perceived to be easy success because the competition has already been tweaked in his favour at his team-mate's expense.
Throwing a strop at his team whenever Webber has the upper hand or when things aren't going his way doesn't help people's perception of him as all-smiles when things are going well, all-petulance when things go awry.25th September 2012, 9:20 at 9:20 am #211037
I won't be surprised if the revised track turns out like this.
It is a very radical tweak but does incorporate all the rumoured revisions that have been mooted over the weekend.
No Singapore Sling for good and the track extends into the Marina Bay Sands Casino area. The Crashgate grandstand is kept for "economic reasons" but the direction is reversed and it could be worthwhile whether it improves the racing. The straight along the Esplanade Drive is a bit long and dangerous so a Mickey Mouse chicane could possibly be installed at the junction near the Anderson Bridge to slow the cars down.
Sources tell me Singapore circuit will be shorter next year. Part around the cricket club will be done away with. #f1 #NightShift
— Byron Young (@byronf1) September 23, 201225th September 2012, 9:02 at 9:02 am #211036
Nice idea but i think they would still keep Turn 7 left-hander into Nicoll Highway as it is the spot where the most overtaking moves are executed.
Connaught Drive is indeed 4 lanes wide but i think there is no way they can filter the cars into 2 files on that stretch in time for the Anderson Bridge 2-laner. They will have to stay on St Andrew's Road for that to happen.
The Crashgate grandstand section is indeed lame. But i doubt they would drop it to be honest. It guarantees 30,000 more seated spectators. A 3-day pass to that section costs USD185/£115 now in the early bird sales phase for next year's tickets. So that's USD5.5m/£3.45m in revenue; not a Mickey Mouse amount.24th September 2012, 17:52 at 5:52 pm #210971
Jenson is as complete a package as rivals like Alonso, Vettel or Raikkonen to make him the default lead driver
Oh i think you misread my sentence.
What i wrote was
But perhaps what Martin should consider is whether Jenson is as complete a package as rivals like Alonso, Vettel or Raikkonen to make him the default lead driver.
Jenson is a great driver and he will retire in future with a F1 career to be proud of. He is however close but maybe just not close enough to be part of the stratosphere that the likes of Alonso reside in. If you put Button in the F2012, he won't disgrace the car and he would definitely outpace Massa but he probably won't wring as much out of the car as Alonso – which is what the super-elite drivers will do.
Put it this way, if a poll were to be done now on which current drivers would squeeze in into a revised list of all-time top 20 F1 drivers, Jenson's name probably won't figure in the discussion as prominently as super-elite drivers like Alonso, Vettel, Raikkonen and of coz, MSC.
It is degrading to call Button McLaren no 2 material but neither is he outright McLaren no 1 material. He is probably erm, a McLaren no 1.5 material if there is such a term.
I hope that Whitmarsh would go for someone like Raikkonen if Hamilton leaves – who all things equal, would be that vital bit faster than Button; and drop the idea of getting someone like di Resta or Perez to Button in as a clear understudy for 2013.23rd September 2012, 18:03 at 6:03 pm #210952
They both get equal equipment and equal chances in the race, at least as far as both are mathematically capable of winning the championship.
And that's what matters, not some vague rambling about Whitmarsh not being "affectionate" enough.
I don't think i said anything about the McLaren drivers NOT getting equal equipment.
All i said was there appears to be an issue between Martin and Lewis and whoever is wrong or right, a split appears inevitable judging by the kind of body language they display towards each other. Whereas there seems to be no problem between Martin and Jenson and it does show in public.
End of day, they are humans as well and it is the same for us as it is for them out there in the working world. We might work as hard as a fellow colleague but if only 1 man can be promoted, the boss might feel he gets on better with you and the promotion opportunity passes your equally talented team-mate by. It is maybe not fair but no-one can say the boss is wrong to choose that way.
If Martin feels he can gel better with Jenson and prefers to retain him over Lewis, he is well justified to do that as these people are not androids and interpersonal relations do play a significant role behind the scenes. But perhaps what Martin should consider is whether Jenson is as complete a package as rivals like Alonso, Vettel or Raikkonen to make him the default lead driver. I would be happy if Martin can sign Raikkonen and let the 2 drivers duel it out fair and square on equal equipment rather than sign someone to be an understudy to Button.

A WAR memorial in honour of the 21 men from Embsay and Eastby who died in the First World War has been restored in time for national centenary celebrations.
Work on the cleaning and partial restoration of the Embsay Memorial was suggested by residents as a way of marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war on August 4.
Its cost was covered by a grant from Craven District Council, local donations, and from a fundraising singalong in Embsay Village Hall.
"The war memorial is one of most treasured assets." said council chairman, Cllr Gill Quinn.
"We are enormously proud of the collective efforts of our community to restore this memorial to its near original condition as part of the national commemoration."
She added: "We are especially proud of the combined efforts of many local people and groups who encouraged the parish council to undertake this project and then helped by contributing to the costs.
"We now have a memorial and an accompanying garden which truly honours the memory of the 21 young men from the parish who gave their lives for their country in the Great War."
The memorial, built in 1923, had over the years become covered in lichen and algae, darkening the colour of the stone.
The work was carried out by a Nelson-based contractor, endorsed by the War Memorials Trust, and has included the involvement of the Skipton Royal British Legion.
A re-dedication ceremony, with the Skipton Royal British Legion, was held last month.

Swanville's request to be put on the Public Financing Authority's 2013 Intended Use Plan (IUP) has been approved. The city is now eligible to receive a loan of approximately $1.1 million to replace existing water main, services and fire hydrants as part of the continuing work to replace the water distribution system constructed in 1930-1931.
The estimated cost of the project includes $491,666 to replace Rhoda Avenue's water main from County Road 12 to Fifth Street; $291,667 to replace the water main from Berkey to the water tower on Third Street and $316,687 to replace Fifth Street's water main from Rhoda to Berkey Avenue. This will include money for the construction and project contingency fund and engineering, administrative, legal, bonding and interest costs.
The Council will now have to decide how much, if any, of the project will be done and when construction should start. It will also have to decide if it wants to have additional work done at the city's expense. The work would be slated for the 2013 construction season. City Engineer Mark Hallen of Widseth Smith Nolting (WSN) said the project would take approximately nine weeks.
The Council decided to ask its financial adviser to attend its October meeting to discuss financing of the project.

The Video Games Of Today, Viewed From The Future
Video games often feel so very current; it's all happening right now. Every year, everything is different! But... how will this all look when viewed from the distant remove of the far future?
Video games often feel so very current; it's all happening right now. Every year, everything is different! But... how will this all look when viewed from the distant remove of the far future?
Now that the Game Developers Conference is over, our GDC cartoonist Elizabeth Simins is here to tell us about the top five things she experienced while at the conference.
Well, that explains everything.
The Game Developers Conference is mostly for talks and parties, but there are still games to play. Yet despite GDC being a smaller, more casual affair than stuff like E3, it's not exactly the ideal place to experience a creative work.
Yesterday, Sony entered the virtual reality fray by announcing Project Morpheus, a new virtual reality initiative aimed at making a VR headset for the PS4. Today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Stephen Totilo and I swung by Sony's booth to check it out.
Borderlands 2 on the PS Vita looks... pretty much like you'd expect. Courtesy of YouTuber AtomixVG, here's four minutes' worth of footage of the portable version of Gearbox's loot-happy shooter, straight from this year's Game Developers Conference. Vid's above, enjoy.
Microsoft is currently "brainstorming" ideas on how to reward well-behaved Xbox Live players. In other words, after a decade of policing Xbox Live's worst offenders, they're going to see if the carrot works better than the stick.
Our GDC cartoonist Elizabeth Simins got to interview Peter Molyneux earlier today. Most Peter Molyneux interviews you will see involve loads of text, or video, or audio. This one involves a comic.
Sony has just announced that virtual reality is coming to the PS4. It's called Project Morpheus.
The Game Developers Conference isn't like, say, E3. It's not a trade show about upcoming projects, it's a discussion forum, where nobody is ever expected to see or hear everything. That means those attending have choices to make.
We've got some reporters on the scene at this week's big Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, but we're also trying something new: we've got a cartoonist covering the show for us.
Ken Kutaragi, known as the "Father of the Playstation," will receive a lifetime achievement award from the Game Developers Choice Awards on March 19 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Mark Cerny, the PS4's lead architect, will present the award to Kutaragi, the former CEO of Sony Computer…

Possible shopping plaza redevelopment forces restaurant into relocation.
Sheik Burritos n Kabobs is closing its Peidmont Road location of three years with plans to reopen in spring, 2013, Atlanta Magazine first reported.
The Persian/Southwestern fusion restaurant hopes to relocate to Midtown or Poncey-Highland, according to the report.
But Sheik Burritos isn't relocating on its own accord.
The shopping plaza which houses Sheik, at 1877 Piedmont Ave., will most likely be demolished and replaced by apartments, forcing the restaurant to move.
Sheik Burritos announced on its Facebook page Friday, the restaurant will stay open through Saturday, Dec. 29.
"We're very excited to announce we'll be opening back up again tonight for dinner as well as tomorrow," according to the Facebook post. "Join us tonight or for lunch Saturday!"
"You asked and we're giving you one more chance to get your Sheik fix until we find our new place!"
Sheik originally announced it would close its doors on Sunday, Dec. 23.

Eva Longoria Receives TSA Full Body Scan [PHOTOS]
Actress Eva Longoria had to go through what many of us travelers go through each and every day a the airport. The Desperate Housewives beauty had to endure a full body scan at the TSA security checkpoint at LAX airport in Los Angeles today.
PHOTOS: Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Naya Rivera, And More Attend 2011 ALMA Awards
The Spain distributor of Eva's film Without Men has cut all lesbian scenes from the film, including love scenes between Eva Longoria and Kate del Castillo. Without Men tells the story of a journalist (Christian Slater) who stumbles upon a Latin American village ruled by women while investigating a story.
Xavier Daniel, director of the Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, told the AFP, "We are very angry that a distributor can modify the content of a film. The audience will not understand the film, because all the lesbian scenes are cut out," Daniel said. "It is unbelievable in the year 2011."
Watch the trailer for the film…

50 Tasting Notes
This tea smelled exquisite while brewing. It had a sweet blueberry hint to it. When tasting, the blueberry flavor was not as strong, but it was still there. Haven't had a lot of white tea blends. This one looked very delicate and pretty with the small white tea leaves (even thought they are green in color-LOL) and specs of purple/blue. Thanks to Moraiwe for day #4 of 12 Days Christmas 2013, I enjoyed the experience.
Thanks to Isalia for Day #11 of the 12 Days of Christmas 2013. Love the name of the tea. Really had a good time learning about Herbal Infusions. Dan, the owner, has some really good videos loaded. The shipping is really reasonable, I think I am going to place an order. As for this tea, I think I steeped it on too high of a setting. I did a black tea setting but maybe right under boiling would of been better. Thus so, all of the wonderful flavors did not jump out at me but it was an enjoyable cup to start the day.
Day #7 for the 12 Days of Christmas 2013, Thanks to TeaTee! I have been able to drink this at least 4 mornings. I tend to like a nice black cup first thing in the AM and this hit the spot. I drank with just sugar and sugar/cream and I honestly liked best with just sugar. I am not seasoned into what is a good/bad Ceylon because honestly, until recently I have only begun exploring what black tea I was drinking! I liked this. Thanks so much for the generous sample.
Miss B gave this to me along with her day #6 tea for the 12 Days of Christmas 2014. I was sooo excited when I opened this!!! I LOVE Harry Potter! I saved this tea for just the right day, and today was that, relaxing day with my Hubby. The black tea with the note of butter sweetness was good indeed with the buttery taste being the main thing I tasted. It was a sweet butter taste with a tad artificial aftertaste, but still good all the same. Thanks again Miss B, You Rock!
Second dessert tea I have tasted from Simpson Vail. To cut to the chase, this tea tastes just like the apple cinnamon coffeecake I had. The only flavor I really taste with both, is a coffee cake kind of flavor. I tried to taste the strawberry on two different tastings, to no avail. I liked the coffee cake taste. These teas are actually turning my taste buds onto coffee, which is something new and unexpecting. I will never drink coffee the way I do tea, but until now I couldn't appreciate coffee at all. Having my taste buds develop likes of new and different flavors has been fun.
My neighbor has been drinking more tea with me. She surprised me on Friday with 4 samples of Simpson and Vail, this being one of them. Two of the samples were dessert teas-this cake and then strawberry cupcake. I was surprised how closely they resembled each other. The main flavor I taste in this tea is a cake taste, similar to a coffee cake. I wonder if these teas are pleasing to both coffee/tea drinkers, me being just a tea drinker, the taste is one I am acquiring and starting to enjoy more with each cup. I have had this three times now, finishing off the sample. I am going to be trying more dessert teas for sure.
Day #5 of the 12 Days of Christmas 2013. Thanks to Momo-this was the perfect fit and the neatest looking tea I think I received. The mulberries were so pretty as well as the look of the tea in general. This may sound strange, but it Looked so good, I couldn't wait to drink it. The taste was just as good as the look and aroma. This is my third DavidsTea and I am starting to see similarities in the natural flavoring added to some-can't wait to try more.
This is my first Dammann Freres tea! Oh what a treat it was! Thank you so much CelebriTEA for all the effort you put into getting this for Day #3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tea Swap 2013. It smelled heavenly, tasted just the same, and was an all around delight to experience. I added sugar, but not milk. The flavors really seem to blend well together, when after reading them, I honestly wondered if they would. Thanks so much again.
TeaTiff was so lovely to include this in with her #2 day of tea package. I have had one of the most unique experiences thus far in trying many different teas, with this tea. The Smell of this tea was magnificent. It permeated the bag and called to me to drink it-honestly I felt it did, LOL. After I brewed and tasted, I was still in awe. The part that really stuck with me, was that the tea tasted exactly as it smelled. I know that might sound weird, and yes I will agree it does, but I have no other way to describe it. Very unique. The title states red tea, but the ingredients state white tea with tangerine flowers. Thought that was interesting as well. I have really enjoyed all the thought this tea has ensued upon me! Thanks so much again TeaTiff.

Mother's grief is 'lonely'
Janet White's memories of the Feilding floods bring nothing but heartache, not for lost property or possessions, but for her son.
Ten years on, the grief caused by the sudden, still unexplained, death of her 3-year-old son Caleb remains raw.
On the Monday, when the town was shut down due to the flooding, her husband Neville was forced to stay at home as he couldn't get to work in Palmerston North.
On reflection they are grateful for the inconvenience, as it meant the family of six had an unexpected day together.
The following two days, Janet had a bustling house. With schools closed, she helped care for extra children.
On Wednesday at lunchtime, Caleb fell asleep at the lunch table. He told his mother he was tired and went off to have an afternoon sleep.
"It was unusual, but not totally unexpected as our routines had been a bit out of sorts because of the flooding," said Janet.
She checked on Caleb often, and checked his temperature, which continued to be normal. After two hours, she woke him up thinking he had had enough sleep.
Caleb told her "I'm still tired" and returned to sleep. Tears came to Janet as she remembered they were the last words she heard her son say.
Half an hour later she checked on him again and found him face down in his pillow, not breathing.
With seven other young boys in the house, she screamed for her eldest, Kris, who was 14 at the time, to help her. He helped her perform CPR on the bench and rang for an ambulance.
But due to the flooding in town and road closures, the ambulance had trouble getting there and it was the fire brigade who were the first to attend.
"I knew he was dead, but the minute help came, I started thinking that he would be OK."
Caleb, however, could not be revived. His father Neville, who rushed home from work, was greeted by a fire crew, ambulance and police in the driveway.
An ambulance officer - Lois - stayed on with the family for some time
"She kept calling back to visit and I really appreciate what she did for us."
Janet is also thankful police let them keep Caleb home that night, before he was taken away for an autopsy - something which is not normally allowed.
A best friend helped Janet and her family organise Caleb's funeral which included a Bob the Builder casket.
Because of the floods, the family had no water and limited power, which kept getting turned on and off.
"Someone arranged a water tank to keep us up with water as with lots of visitors, we needed to keep the toilets going. It definitely made life trickier. But nothing could be as bad as losing Caleb, so it really didn't seem to be an issue."
Trips to Palmerston North were required for showers and washing.
"I wasn't really aware of anything outside of my house."
Ten years on, the family still have no answers as to why Caleb died. All they know is is was a sudden, unexplained death. Six months earlier he had had two seizures that were put down to being viral.
The family has joined an American Support group, Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), for parents who have had children between the ages of 1 and 4 die suddenly.
"Every February is really hard. I cry so much. You don't know what is going to hit you - it doesn't take much. People say 'get over it'. You never get over it. Your heart is broken and people can't see that, even though you may seem happy or smiling."
Further challenges have been thrown to Janet and her family. Five years ago she had a brain aneurism and nearly died.
"I'm grateful I'm still alive, but at the time I didn't realise that there was a strong possibility I wouldn't survive the surgery. It was a major, but still nothing like losing Caleb. If anything bad happens, you think back that nothing could be worse."
There has also been joy for the White family. Son Jayden was born in 2005. The other boys have grown up and she now has a daughter-in-law.
Janet was able to turn her hobby in to a business, Creative Names Plus, which is doing well and keeps her busy.
"Grief, however, is lonely. It is enough to deal with your own grief, but watching the boys' grief was heart-breaking. I relied on the three Fs - faith, family and friends'.
"It is a lifetime of grief. Most of the year I'm fine, until the big days."

We mentioned yesterday that iPhone OS 3.0's Mobile Safari Browser was being reported as faster than the current iPhone OS 2.2.1 version. Now Ars Technica has run the numbers and the results are pretty impressive. Check out their full report for all the details, but this sums it up nicely:
According to our sources, the 3.0 beta still has some stability and speed issues, so that makes these results that much more impressive. While the overall average gives the iPhone 3.0 beta a 300 percent speed advantage, some of the individual tests show 6x, 8x, or even 11x improvements—the bitwise "AND" function even runs 16x faster than in the current version of Mobile Safari.
Should make the release version of the new, Nitro-powered Mobile Safari 3.0 fairly impressive, come summer! Bring on them multi-app Facebook pages, the iPhone will be ready! (Joking... a bit.)

Nick Carter Casts Fellow Ex-Boy Banders for His Upcoming Zombie Movie
If you're a fan of both '90s boy bands and zombie movies, you're in for a treat.
If you're a fan of both '90s boy bands and zombie movies, you're in for a treat.
Before the broadcast, Justin Timberlake joked that receiving the Video Vanguard Award at the 2013 MTV VMAs was receiving the "You Got Old Award." Well, the way he sang and danced tonight (Aug. 25), turning in an epic medley of tunes and inviting his former 'N Sync bandmates to join him, proved him to be anything but old.
Whoa! This came out of nowhere, if it is indeed true. Long broken up boy band 'N Sync, whose most famous member is Justin Timberlake, will reunite for a special performance at the MTV VMAs this Sunday (Aug. 25) night in Brooklyn.

Bangalore: The Periyapatna constituency in Karnataka is voting for its MLA today. This constituency in the Mysore district did not go to the polls along with the rest of the state in early May due to the death of the BJP candidate ahead of the elections.
The battle for Periyapatna is mainly between Congress and Janata Dal-Secular. And winning it is a matter of prestige for the Congress as it returned to power in the state early this month after nine years.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who took over on May 13, hails from Mysore district.
The Bharatiaya Janata Party, which was ousted from power in the May 5 assembly election, is also trying to bag the seat as that would help the party to get recognition as the Opposition party in the assembly.
In the 225-member assembly that includes one nominated member, the Congress has won 121 seats and the BJP and JD(S) 40 seats each.
The remaining seats are held by smaller parties and independent candidates.
The Congress has renominated K Venkatesh who had won the seat in 2008. His rivals are K Mahadev of JD(S) and R T Satish of BJP. Five others are also in the fray.
Vote count would take place on May 31.

BOZEMAN –Linda Wyckoff, director and development coordinator at the Human Resource Development Council in Bozeman, has been named director of philanthropy at Montana State University's Museum of the Rockies. It is a newly created position.
"The museum offers a great opportunity to work with an invaluable part of the local community and to use my experience as a long-time fundraiser – both in Bozeman and at Montana State University – to build membership, bring new and exciting exhibits to the museum, and explore ways to build on our legacy," said Wyckoff, who was hired in a national search. "I would love to see this wonderful institution become an even larger, more visible part of life here in the northern Rocky Mountains."
Wyckoff brings more than 25 years experience as a development professional to the Museum of the Rockies. She has led and managed fundraising efforts for nonprofits, and for MSU's College of Engineering, where she authored many successful fundraising proposals, and developed the strategic vision, cultivation and solicitation for gifts at the multimillion dollar level. Most recently, she created a new development program to support the human services initiatives at HRDC.
"The skills and experience that Linda Wyckoff brings to the Museum of the Rockies will allow us to broaden the scope of our fundraising effort by adding planned giving, endowment growth, major gifts and governmental grant writing to our highly successful benefit events and membership, giving us a really well-rounded development program," said Sheldon McKamey, executive director of the Museum of the Rockies.
The new position has broadened responsibilities to accommodate and support the rapid growth the museum has experienced over the past five years, McKamey said. She added that, with expanded sister-museum relationships and ongoing traveling exhibits scheduled throughout the Asia/Pacific region, dramatic growth in membership and attendance, and the planned Peck's Rex addition to the museum's dinosaur hall, the need to raise awareness of opportunities for philanthropy is vital for the museum to further its mission of outreach within the state, region and internationally. Wyckoff will be responsible for expanding the museum's development efforts to maximize its mission-directed growth and continue its recent momentum.
"Philanthropy will play an even larger role in the future to ensure MOR continues to fulfill its mission of outreach, touching more and more adults, children and families throughout Montana in educational and inspiring ways," McKamey said.

ACLU Urging Bureau of Prisons to End Contract with Private Prison Corporation to House Immigrant Prisoners
Corrections Corporation of America is bidding to renew its contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house immigrants at its Youngstown facility. The ACLU of Ohio is urging the BOP not to renew the contract.
The Northeast Ohio Correctional Center in Youngstown is a Criminal Alien Requirement facility, which means it predominantly houses immigrants. The ACLU recently released a report called Warehoused and Forgotten: Immigrants Trapped in Our Shadow Private Prison System,, documenting the abuses at CAR prisons by private prison companies.
CCA took over the facility in 1977, and within 14 months there were 13 stabbings, 2 murders and 6 escapes. A lawsuit filed on behalf or prisoners by the city of Youngstown resulted in the closing of the prison, only to see it reopen two years later — still under CCA management.
The Bureau of Prisons will tour the Youngstown facility later this month, and will release its findings on the quality of services in September. They will make a decision on renewing the contract shortly thereafter.
Michael Pugh, warden at Youngstown accused the ACLU of launching a "cookie-cutter" attack on CCA, saying "it's sad that an organization that exists to protect civil liberties is so closed-minded when it comes to facts and perspectives that might challenge its political agenda."
The Ohio ACLU's Director of Communications and Public Policy hopes the Bureau of Prisons, Mike Brickner, obviously feels quite differently.
"For-profit prisons have been a failed experiment here for decades," he says. "Violence increases, drug use is common, and medical care is neglected, leading to facilities deteriorating rapidly. Despite all these problems, we continue to give taxpayer money to these for-profit companies that are subject to little oversight."

The Magic of Writing by Mindy Marin
The moment I reached the top of Grandfather Mountain, I could feel that I was in a magical place. Arriving midday just before a storm, the clouds already surrounded us and the wind blew at hurricane strength. One of the last groups allowed to hike the trail up to the whistling bridge, we paused at the foot of the cliff to take it all in. The majestic mountain stood firm while trees blew and birds took cover in the nooks of rocks that covered it. This was a place from another time, in another world.
I took out my camera and began to capture some of the most amazing photos I've ever taken. Once I returned home, I went through the images with my husband Alex. "This is the one," I said. The photo above is the original picture that turned out to be the cover for my book Ceaseless: Birth of the Phoenix. With the help of my incredible husband, who is also a graphic artist, the cover came to life before my eyes and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Everything about the Ceaseless series came to me in some form of spiritual way. From my near deathexperience in the hospital, came the dreams of a young girl and her true love. Through my love of fantasy came the photograph of Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland, the inspiration for Erindale Castle in my book. Maybe it was just a coincidence that my inspiration for the cover came from a mountaintop on a stormy day in North Carolina. Or did the spirits of that magical land lead me there on purpose?
We all have a little magic in us and I believe that writing stories is one way to share it.
Mindy Marin is an up and coming author with a background in the entertainment industry. Working as an independent contractor in film and television, she pursued writing as another expression of her creativity. Ceaseless: Birth of the Phoenix is the first book in the Ceaseless series and Mindy's first published work.
Mindy was inspired to tell this story of unwavering love after a near death experience where she spent two weeks in a hospital. Having the same dream repeatedly she felt drawn to the idea of past lives and reincarnation, it was then that she began to write down snippets of her dreams and her character's stories began to come to life.
Mindy is a mother of three and currently lives in Tampa, Florida with her husband Alex and two younger children.

Finlays Flowers
There are over 100 permanent employees that grow, cut, and package Fair Trade flowers for export. The farm prices itself on low turnover. Since becoming Fair Trade Certified™, workers at Finlays Flowers have established the Finmax Joint Body, a committee of workers that meets periodically to plan and manage community projects funded with Fair Trade premiums. The Finmax Joint Body strives to promote the social and economic well-being of workers. Through Fair Trade sales and community development premiums, Finmax has been able to invest in a variety of local initiatives that benefit not only the workers, but the greater communities of Kericho and Bureti.
I started driving early last month in the Automobile Association (AA) driving school and Fair Trade has really helped me a lot. I have been longing for the course, but due to a shortage of money I had to delay learning how to drive. But now, Fair Trade pays 90% of my school fees. I am indeed happy and God is great and I hope I continue to receive help. "
Francis Kipkemoi, Finlays Flowers Employee
School Supplies for Refugee Children
Donation of 550 sets of desks and chairs to more than 12 secondary schools. These schools received an influx of students following the post-election violence in 2008 and were left without sufficient supplies. The Joint Body purchased these supplies to donate to the Bureti District secondary schools
New Teachers Hired
Fair Trade premiums hired over a dozen new teachers at Finlays Flowers Primary Schools. 13 teachers earned salaries and allowances, boosting the teaching staff of the two Flower Schools.
Microfinance Project
Employees at Finlays Flowers received microloans at minimal interest rates as part of a revolving loan program funded by Fair Trade premiums. Since 2008, over 1,500 emloyees have received funding.
Health Clinic for Mothers
Fair Trade premiums financed the construction of a maternity ward within the existing Chepchabas Dispensary, or clinic. Fair Trade workers used community development funds to provide all of the equipment and supplies for the ward, in addition to the building materials and construction costs. At the Samutet Clinic, workers also voted to use funds to build new bathrooms and purchase new supplies for the dispensary.

Or not.
It's too soon to say. That doesn't stop sports handicappers from projecting how the NFL 2010 season will end. Football tout Vernon Croy is the latest to offer something, in this case his final standings of the NFC East:
- Dallas Cowboys — 10-6
- Philadelphia Eagles — 10-6
- New York Giants — 8-8
- Washington Redskins — 6-10
I never heard of Croy. Even if he's the smartest man in football, isn't it too soon to say?
The Cowboys had the best finish in 2009. The Redskins made the best moves of the offseason. But that's just on paper. Football isn't played on paper. It's played on television.
Can we, like, see a preseason game before we project how the regular season will play out?
I like a lot of the moves of Dannyhan's first season. Oh yes, boys and girls, the Danny is still in the background. But Washington hasn't paid stupid money to another over-hyped star from somebody else's team who will save the season. They have brought in a lot of older players who might be role contributors, or who might be another bust.
For my part, I'm going on the assumption that the moves thus far brought the Redskins back to level ground; meaning the Skins have a shot at 8-8. It's not like we're saying Super Bowl for sure. Nor are we saying that they sure won't be there either.
We just want to see these guys on this roster run plays from this playbook in a game before drawing any conclusions. Until then, we don't know jack.

Loudoun Co. hearing discusses possible closure of four schools
(WJLA) - A standing-room only crowd packed into a Loudoun County school board hearing Monday night, hoping to convince board members not to close four rural elementary schools.
The hearing started at 6:30 p.m. and lasted late into the night. A total of 178 people had signed up to speak when the meeting started. School board members are considering closing Aldie, Hamilton, Hillsboro, and Lincoln elementary schools for budget reasons.
The schools are all old, small, and in the western part of Loudoun County.
Although the school board has considered closing the schools in past years, parents say this time the threat seems far more serious.
"We're a little nervous," said Aldie Elementary parent Stacie Sutphin. "We'd like to think they haven't made their decision, and we still have a fighting chance."
Earlier this month, the Loudoun County board of supervisors voted to give the school board about $38 million less to operate than it had asked for.
That said, the board of supervisors did vote to increase the school system's budget by about $47 million for next school year, and many who came Monday night felt that should be more than enough to save the four schools.
"This board is taking this action in a fit because you didn't get what you wanted from the board of supervisors, and you're telling our children that what you do when you're angry is to hurt other people!" thundered Ben Cates of Purcellville, causing the crowd to explode in cheers.
Many parents and students at the four schools say they are centerpieces of their communities, and they say the fact that they are small helps students get individual attention and improves achievement.
A Loudoun County schools spokesperson says this week marks the start of a critical period for the school board when it comes to the budget. Many final decisions are expected to be made over the next week or so.

The scheme, which allows Barclaycard holders to earn reward points by using their card for transactions, has signed up Shell as its latest partner, joining companies such as Pizza Express and npower.
Other brands participating include LA Fitness, Yo! Sushi, Goldsmiths, Nationwide Autocentres, Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Flight Centre. A full list of participants can be found at Barclaycardfreedom.co.uk.
The launch of Barclaycard Freedom will be backed by an above-the-line campaign by Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), to launch this month.
The financial services brand claims that Freedom opens up small and medium-sized retailers to a rewards programme for the first time.
Barclaycard's eight million UK cardholders will automatically earn 'Reward Money', whenever they make a purchase at a participating retailer. The rewards will usually equate to about 1% of the transaction total, although at Shell, it will only equate to 0.5%.
Sarah Newman, managing director at Barclaycard Freedom, said: "The range of retailers in Barclaycard Freedom means that our customers can earn Reward Money when they are shopping on the high street, filling up the car, going out for a meal or shopping online."

Cinderella Castle Sugar Mold - How To Put Together?
Sugar Work By mrswendel Updated 11 Jul 2010 , 6:20pm by mrswendel
Hi everyone,
I have the old Wilton Disneyland/Cinderella's castle sugar mold from the 70s. I have a cake coming up that I would love to use this for....but I have no idea how it goes together. It doesn't have any instructions other than a handwritten note from the previous owner of:
15lbs of sugar and 6 egg whites
1 x A 1 x A2
1 x C 1 x C2
4 x B 4 x D
6 x 1 4 x H
2 x G 2 x F
2 x E
I understand the letters as each piece is labelled as a letter, so I assume that 4 x B means 4 of the piece labelled B. But how in the world do these go together?
Thanks for any help!
I'd suggest going to the Wilton site and emailing them. Best to go the direct route since it's an older mold
Good luck!
Melanie Mc.
Thanks Melanie. I actually had a private message from a fellow CCer with the directions and photo instruction.
