A substantial 5/6 bedroom country house in a most enchanting position on the edge of Cranborne Chase and the beautiful Down Land with well proportioned and flexible accommodation, set within wonderful parkland style grounds of about 7 acres.
Pine Tree Farm is thought to originate from the early to mid-1940s and sits under an impressive water reed thatch roof. The original dwelling has been significantly extended and reconfigured by the present owners, who currently have it laid out as two separate living units; whilst the current layout offers great flexibility, the option remains to amalgamate the two sections and enhance an already wonderful family home. The accommodation is well presented and generously proportioned, and all principle living rooms are orientated towards or open onto a lovely terrace that overlooks the magnificent gardens, which have been a labour of love for the owners, who have worked meticulously to create the 'parkland' style lawns and grassland that graciously sweep away from the house in a south and west direction. There is a collection of useful outbuildings within the grounds, which extend in total to approximately 7 acres and abut adjoining farmland.
Pine Tree Farm occupies a quiet, private position close to the sought after village of Cranborne, deep in the heart of the rolling countryside of the Cranborne Chase. The village (approximately 1 mile) provides an excellent Estate managed shop that sells predominantly local produce, Post Office, public houses, a church and restaurants and is home to Cranborne Manor, home of Lord Salisbury. Further village facilities include primary and middle schools, a garden centre and tea rooms. There is also the Cranborne cricket club with a clubhouse and bar. The local road network ensures good access to the larger town of Fordingbridge (approx. 5 miles), the Cathedral City of Salisbury, Blandford and Wimborne and there is mainline rail services to London Waterloo at Salisbury. The surrounding countryside provides myriad opportunities for exploration by wheel or on foot and there is a selection of golf clubs in the area.

Pine Tree Farm is approached through a 5 bar wooden gate and over a gravelled driveway that opens to the front of the house into a generous parking and turning area. The driveway continues to the side of the house, where there is alternate vehicular access from the lane, again via a 5 bar wooden gate. Beyond this point the drive continues to a detached single garage and separate detached 4 bay garage/outbuilding with attached covered log store.
The garden and main body of land is predominantly located to the side and rear of the house, being south and west facing respectively. Adjoining the rear of the house are two linked terraces, one of which is accessed from the Drawing and Dining Rooms, the other from the Sitting and Music Rooms. An expanse of well maintained lawn runs away from the house to a lightly populated tree line of evergreens, beyond which lies a large open tract of grassland, which is also sporadically interspersed by a line of fir trees, and the enclosed tennis court. A further section of open grassland then runs to the far western boundary of the property, where it abuts neighbouring farmland. A water supply is connected in the lower section of land and in the far corner stands a line of mature apple trees. The grounds offer a secure level of privacy and extend to approximately 7 acres.
Leave Fordingbridge and proceed to Damerham. Upon entering the village pass the Compasses Inn on left hand side and cross the small bridge. Follow this road as it bears right out of the village (signposted Cranborne) into Browns Lane and ascend the hill. Continue on this road in the direction of Cranborne for approximately 1 1/2 miles, passing the Philip Green Memorial School on the right hand side. After a short distance the entrance to Pine Tree Farm will be located on the right hand side.

Source Naturals Diet Pyruvate Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Source Naturals Diet Pyruvate is a supplement that claims to increase energy production. Calcium pyruvate plays an important role in the Krebs cycle of energy production. The human body produces all the pyruvate it needs to support energy production, but there are some experts that believe supplementation is important to increase energy levels. Source Naturals does not list clinical research supporting the need for increased calcium pyruvate.
Source Naturals lists all ingredients for the supplements it formulates and even lists a suggested retail price, but the company does not sell products directly. Consumers are expected to visit a third-party retailer to place an order. Depending on the retailer, the consumer may not have a money back guarantee to customer service support for products ordered.
List of Ingredients
Protein, Calcium, Calcium Pyruvate Monohydrate.
Product Features
Calcium pyruvate participates in anaerobic and aerobic energy production in humans. Most often, the body produces all the calcium pyruvate it needs, but there are instances when natural processes simply do not work, as they should. Calcium pyruvate is a safe supplement, but pregnant women and children should not take the product.
Because calcium pyruvate is created when starches and sugars are digested, supplementation may be more important for people following a lower carbohydrate diet. These dieters would not consume enough sugars and starches to supply a source for calcium pyruvate production, thus energy levels may be lower than normal. Supplementation could improve energy.
Dieters can take up to 5 grams of calcium pyruvate per day. This supplement contains 3 grams, which is the common amount across other supplements. As is the case with any form of calcium, it may cause constipation for some dieters. Taking magnesium with calcium may help prevent constipation.
- Source Naturals Diet Pyruvate is a calorie free supplement.
- Ingredients are listed in an easy to read format.
- The suggested retail price is low.
- Dieters may feel an energy boost after taking calcium pyruvate.
- Source Naturals Diet Pyruvate may not increase energy for all dieters.
- The supplement is not sold from Source Naturals.
- No customer support from the manufacturer.
Calcium pyruvate may help some dieters feel an energy boost without adding a stimulant to their supplement program, but that does not mean metabolism will increase. Caffeine is also a stimulant that is considered safe for most dieters to consume and it is proven to boost metabolism and weight loss. Source Naturals does not bother listing clinical research even though they refer to the fact that calcium pyruvate is proven to increase energy. We suggest using a proven diet supplement with clinical research, testimonials and a money back guarantee.

The Miami Heat came together in the summer of 2010 with the goal of winning multiple championships, and that goal was officially met Thursday night when the team found a way to fend off a valiant effort from the San Antonio Spurs to win Game 7, 95-88.
Now that the season is over, we can peer into the crystal ball and examine what's next for these two teams.
This victory makes it two titles in three seasons for the Big Three, and although there was some premature talk of breaking it up to reduce luxury tax payments, it would seem crazy to do that with the team having a chance at a three-peat. Yes, Dwyane Wade has shown signs of slowing down and Chris Bosh doesn't always play like a true big man, but it's hard to argue with the results. Perhaps things change when all three players have the chance to opt-out after next season, but for now, expect them to stick together.
The Heat will be in line to pay a hefty amount of tax next season, with more than $86 million in committed salary and the new repeater penalties kicking in. Mario Chalmers does have a $4 million team option that could be declined, but the Heat are expected to pick that up.
Another key decision will be whether to amnesty Mike Miller, as he's owed nearly $13 million over the next two seasons. Waiving Miller would bring some luxury tax relief, although it wouldn't come all that close to keeping Miami out of the tax completely. But winning championships makes it much easier to swallow those tax burdens.
For the Spurs, this is the first Finals loss in franchise history and could mark the end of the Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili era. Ginobili is a free agent and will be 36 in July, so a big decision lies ahead about his future. Ginobili has been playing professionally since 1995, so don't rule out retirement, especially considering the injury issues and general struggles he dealt with this year.
If Ginobili does want to keep playing, he would certainly come at a reduced rate, but how much would the Spurs be willing to pay? San Antonio already has decisions to make on restricted free agents Tiago Splitter and Gary Neal, with Splitter likely getting a nice chunk of change. Keeping those players would cut into the Spurs' cap space, and if they want to possibly make a splash in free agency, they may not want to shell out too much for Ginobili.
Duncan was asked after the game if he'll be back for next season, and responded in a typically abrupt and salty fashion the Spurs have made a calling card. Duncan said he's still under contract for next season so he plans on returning to the Spurs and again chasing his fifth title.

WELLS, Maine (AP) - Scientists say they've found a species of butterfly in Maine 75 years after the last reported sighting in the state.
The state's Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Department set out last summer to confirm one way or the other whether the spicebush swallowtail lived in Maine. Maine is at the northern end of the butterfly's range, and the only documented Maine sighting was in 1934.
Wildlife biologist Phillip deMaynadier (dee-MAY-nah-dee-air) says the effort paid off in September when several occupied swallowtail nests were discovered in some hardwood swamps in Berwick and Wells. He says the finding provides proof that the butterfly breeds in Maine.

Neurogenic bladder
Neurogenic bladder is a problem in which a person lacks bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord, or nerve condition.
Several muscles and nerves must work together for your bladder to hold urine until you're ready to empty it. Nerve messages go back and forth between the brain and the muscles that control bladder emptying. If these nerves are damaged by illness or injury, the muscles may not be able to tighten or relax at the right time.
Disorders of the central nervous system commonly cause neurogenic bladder. These can include:
Damage or disorders of the nerves that supply the bladder can also cause this condition. This can include:
The symptoms depend on the cause. They often include symptoms of urinary incontinence.
Symptoms of overactive bladder:
Symptoms of underactive bladder:
Medications may help manage your symptoms. Your doctor may recommend:
Newer drugs are also being studied.
Your doctor may refer you someone who has been trained to help people manage bladder problems. Skills or techniques you may learn include:
Learn to recognize the symptoms of urinary infections (UTIs), such as burning when you urinate, fever, low back pain on one side, and a more frequent need to urinate. Cranberry tablets are used to prevent UTIs.
Some people may need to use a urinary catheter. This is a thin tube that is inserted into your bladder:
Sometimes surgery is needed. Surgeries for neurogenic bladder include:

Celeste Chief of Police Roger Eugene Mueller III pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two counts of alleged indecency with a child by sexual contact.
Mueller was arraigned during a Tuesday afternoon hearing in the 354th District Court. Judge Richard A. Beacom accepted the pleas and, as Mueller's defense attorney filed a motion for an expedited trial in the case, Beacom scheduled a tentative trial date for November 4, with a pretrial hearing on October 15.
Mueller is being held in custody at the Kaufman County Jail. Bond was set at $75,000 on each charge.
In a separate hearing Tuesday, Beacom declined to take action to lower the bonds.
The Hunt County grand jury returned sealed indictments against Mueller Friday, in a case investigated by the Texas Rangers.
Mueller was taken into custody Friday on arrest warrants connected to the indictments. The indictments were unsealed Monday afternoon.
The indictments allege Mueller touched the breast(s) of a girl of less than 17 years of age on June 1, 2012 and on May 30 of this year.
The indictments were filed as second degree felonies, each punishable upon conviction by a maximum sentence of from two to 20 years in prison and an optional fine of up to $10,000.
As of the time of his arrest, Mueller was employed as the Chief of Police in Celeste, a town of approximately 800 people.
The Celeste Police Department consists of Mueller, one part-time officer and one reserve officer.
Mueller was also at one time employed as a security officer at the Hunt County Courthouse.

MKC compact crossover (Lincoln)
Reinvigorating a faded premium automotive brand is almost as hard as starting a new one. Just ask Lincoln, Ford�s upscale nameplate, which is taking its first small steps toward putting the shine back on a once lustrous marque.
Cadillac embarked on a similar revival plan 20 years ago and is still battling hard to secure a share of the luxury market, which is dominated by the German trio BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, plus Japan�s Lexus brand.
And to complicate matters, we have the second tier premium Japanese players, Acura and Infiniti, redoubling their efforts to gain a slice of the pie, together with the aggressive newcomers from Korea, Hyundai and Kia, both of which are moving upscale fast. Then there is Buick, a powerhouse brand for General Motors in China that is making steady progress on rebuilding a presence in the U.S.
So what is an automotive consumer to make of the ever-shifting currents in the premium car market? Let�s take a closer look at two particular brands, Lincoln and Hyundai, which have both recently debuted their newest models, respectively the MKC, a compact crossover, and the Genesis, a mid-size premium sedan.
In the domestic corner, Lincoln is presenting the 2015 MKC as the model that to date most clearly illustrates the brand�s desired look and feel, in terms of design, engineering and features. Though the MKC is based on the relatively humble Ford Escape platform, Lincoln has heavily revised the design and introduced a brand new 2.3-liter turbocharged engine with 285-hp and all-wheel drive.
The combination will give the MKC a fighting chance in a market segment that is �on fire,� says Matt VanDyke, director of Global Lincoln. (VanDyke�s global title refers to the fact that Lincoln is jumping into the potentially lucrative Chinese market). Competing with the likes of Audi�s highly successful Q5 and the Acura RDX, the MKC takes Lincoln into a new sector and should appeal to �empty nesters and younger buyers,� adds VanDyke.
Inside, the MKC does a good job of keeping up with the Joneses, meaning standard-setting Audi, in terms of finely trimmed and supportive leather seats, soft-touch dashboard surfaces and well chosen wood and metal trim materials.
Overall, the interior is one of the most impressive aspects of the MKC and bodes well for the quality and materials to be found in larger Lincoln models, like a new full-size sedan, that are in the pipeline.
Nor does the MKC skimp on the latest safety and high-tech convenience features. It even claims to be the first vehicle to offer �park out� assistance. In addition to helping drivers parallel park, the MKC will take over the steering when it comes to maneuvering out of a tight spot.
Lincoln is on a long road to recovery, but the MKC, with a starting price just under $34,000, represents a solid start and a credible stake in the ground in a popular market sector.
Unlike Lincoln, Hyundai has no upscale heritage to lean on, but that is not stopping the fast-growing Korean brand from taking aim at the higher echelons of the premium segment. With the latest generation 2015 Genesis sedan, Hyundai is abandoning any pretense of modesty and going straight for Lexus, BMW and Mercedes Benz buyers.
The new Genesis boasts the largest interior in the class, bigger than BMW Five Series and Mercedes E-Class, claims Hyundai. And as is standard practice with most Hyundai vehicles, the Genesis is loaded with features and equipment. The car is also up to $20,000 less than a comparably equipped BMW or Mercedes.
�The Lehman Brothers collapse changed the definition of premium,� notes Dave Zuchowski, CEO of Hyundai Motor America. �We are now in the era of mass luxury.�
So there it is. The rules have changed and while the established luxury automotive brands will still command the field, there will be more choices for cost conscious consumers looking to move upmarket.

Lorcaserin From Arena Gets FDA OK
Written by Jamie Stowe| Monday, 14 May 2012| There is 1 comment
The FDA's recent recommendation that the new weight loss drug made by Arena should be approved has caused its share price to shoot up and has given hope to millions of overweight and obese people.
The Food and Drug Administration recommendation comes after years of research and testing the Lorcaserin drug on both animals and humans in order to evaluate it both for safety and effectiveness.
Lorcaserin was previously given the thumbs down from the FDA in 2010 after it was felt that there was a possibility that the drug could increase the risk of brain tumours in animals. It was also stated that the FDA were concerned about a link to heart valve damage but it should be borne in mind that obesity is also a major cause of heart disease.
Lorcaserin's new approval from the FDA comes after more clinical data was submitted to the evaluation panel and it was deemed that the benefits of the drug outweighed its side effects. Mr Jack Lief, Arena's CEO issued a statement saying that they would continue to work with the FDA for full regulatory approval.
Like all weight loss drugs, Lorcaserin is not a magic bullet cure for obesity and will require you to also diet and exercise. What it may do is make the weight loss process easier and faster. Another new weight loss medication that recently got a positive nod from the FDA is Qnexa made by Vivus but like Lorcaserin it still requires final approval.
If you are thinking of trying weight loss medications the only approved one at present in the UK is Xenical. Xenical is safe and effective when taken properly and can produce dramatic results. Xenical is a prescription drug which requires a consultation with a doctor. This can be done online at Ukmedix.

Special to The Sun
T.W. Shannon, the leader of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, will be the featured speaker at Oklahoma State University's two undergraduate commencement ceremonies set for Dec. 14 at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.
"Becoming the first African-American Speaker of the Oklahoma House at the age of 34, Speaker Shannon is a trailblazer who is dedicated to public service and leadership," said OSU President Burns Hargis. "We are grateful and honored that he is willing to share his personal insights with our graduates."
OSU will have two undergraduate ceremonies on Dec. 14. The first, at 10:30 a.m., will honor graduates from the College of Human Sciences, College of Engineering, Architecture & Technology, and Spears School of Business. The 1:30 p.m. commencement will honor graduates from the College of Education, College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources, and College of Arts & Sciences. The Graduate College Commencement Ceremony is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 13 at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Shannon took the oath of office in January to be Oklahoma Speaker of the House, where his stated quest is to restore strong families, and to inspire prosperity through personal responsibility. Considered a champion for limited government, Shannon quickly rose to leadership in the Legislature, where he served as deputy majority whip in the House his first term, chaired the powerful transportation committee in his second term and was elected speaker-designate in his third term.
Shannon earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Cameron University and has a juris doctorate from Oklahoma City University Law School. He worked as a field representative for former Congressman J.C. Watts a decade ago and served in the same position for Congressman Tom Cole the following two years. An enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation, Shannon worked as the chief administrative officer for Chickasaw Nation Enterprises. Today, he operates a home-based public relations business in Lawton.
Shannon has been married to his college sweetheart, Devon, for 11 years and they have two children, Audrey Grace and T.W. Shannon serves as a youth Sunday school teacher at his local church.
A champion for the state's natural gas industry, Shannon worked to reduce the tax on compressed natural gas, a plentiful Oklahoma resource. He recently made a mark by pushing to liquidate excess state-owned property and he has crafted an eight-year plan to rebuild Oklahoma's structurally deficient bridges.
GOPAC, an organization whose mission is to support up-and-coming Republican leaders, recently added Shannon to its national advisory board.

We dedicated the pages of our annual progress edition to an informal examination of who we are as a community. It's a sample size and there are sure to be omissions, but the people in this publication serve as excellent representatives to what we're trying to illustrate.
We are also encouraged that, despite challenging economic times, the essence of our community is on display pretty much wherever we look. We can see this strength of character in the hearts of people in Nappanee, Syracuse, Millersburg, New Paris, Goshen, Bristol, Middlebury, Shipshewana, Topeka and all spots in between.
We are a collection of people whose different experiences and contributions help enhance how we live.
We are Bob Conrad and LeRoy Lambright (page 4), who dedicated their lives to chronicling this community before retiring to Naples, Fla., and Greenville, S.C., respectively.
We are Ebeneezer Chamberlain, John W. Foreman and Merle Shanklin (page 8), all of whom were so important to the history of this community that a school, a football field and a city park now bear their names.
We are Joe Liechty, Richard Aguirre, George Smucker, Sreekala Rajagopalan (page 12) and others who serve on Goshen's Community Relations Commission with a goal of opening our minds to our own diversity.
We are Al Lane (page 18) who stormed the beach at Normandy on D-Day before moving to Goshen to run convenience stores; and Thavisak Mounsithiraj (page 23) who spent most of his childhood in Laos and is now the men's soccer coach at Goshen College.
We are Steve Chupp (page 20), who dreamed of being a firefighter as a kid and grew up to become the chief of the Elkhart Township Volunteer Fire Department more than 30 years ago.
We are Anna Montgomery (page 26), Ian Rogers (page 27) and Shawn Dechant (page 34), who each grew up in Goshen before heading west to become highly successful in the fields of music, online music marketing and sports videography, respectively.
We are Jim Hoke, Mitch Herschberger and Brent Bontrager (page 30), friends since adolescence, who are now neighbors in Goshen enjoying life and raising their families near each other.
We are Jason Samuel (page 36) who has helped turn the Goshen College radio station, WGGS, into a regional gem that has helped change how many think about our community.

Eastern Kentucky vs. Austin Peay – September 24th – Governors Stadium – 6:00pm
Clarksville, TN – The last time Eastern Kentucky came to Clarksville, Austin Peay claimed its most monumental victory since returning to scholarship football.

Republicans' 'Pledge to America' Is A Stack of Bumper Stickers
The "Pledge to America" is just about pushing buttons to garner votes.
The Republicans' "Pledge to America" could have been a no-nonsense, make-the-tough-decisions, visionary plan to take the country out of a troubling era of high unemployment, cultural divides, and stalemate in Congress. Instead, it was a stack of bumper stickers.
That's unfortunate, because the GOP includes some serious people with serious proposals to fix, well, serious problems. But the package merely pushed the buttons of the various voting blocs that appear poised to give Republicans huge victories in November, and perhaps control of both chambers of Congress.
[See a slide show of 5 key issues in the 2010 elections.]
They stood at a Virginia hardware store, dressed in that affected casualness of carefully rolled up sleeves and one button daringly unbuttoned on their shirts, and promised to reduce the size of government and the deficit while making the Bush-era tax cuts permanent for the wealthy as well as the middle class--all matters important to Tea Party movement voters. Government should be "smaller, less costly, more accountable," said House Minority Leader John Boehner.
[See where Boehner gets his campaign money.]
You'd have to take them at their word, since the GOP, when it ran the House, not only passed bigger and bigger budgets, but created an entirely new federal agency, ushered in an unprecedented era of federal involvement in elementary and secondary education, and established an entirely new entitlement under Medicare. But the group made no recommendations on controlling the cost of entitlements, which comprise a huge chunk of the budget. It doesn't make a good bumper sticker.

Diabetes Health Center
Type 2 Diabetes and Women
Infection Risk
"Certain types of infections can happen to anyone, men or women, but they tend to happen more frequently among women with type 2 diabetes," Jay says. That's because higher blood sugar means more food for bacteria and yeast to grow, she says.
Urinary tract infections happen when bacteria grow more readily in the lining of the bladder. Higher blood sugar levels in the urethra and bladder make women with diabetes more prone to these infections. Urinary tract infections can usually be treated with antibiotics your doctor prescribes.
Vaginal yeast infections may also accompany type 2 diabetes. The yeast called Candida, live all over our bodies and especially thrive in warm, moist areas. An infection results when there is too much yeast in one area.
Yeast infections can occur in other parts of the body more often where skin folds exist, such as under the armpits or beneath the breasts. Men and women with diabetes can be prone to higher rates of these infections.
"Developing a yeast infection from diabetes means your blood sugar is way out of control," says endocrinologist Robin Goland, MD, of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. If you think you have a yeast infection, see your doctor to treat the infection and to better manage your diabetes.
Take Charge
The first line of defense against type 2 diabetes is a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Get at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days, according to the American Diabetic Association. That can mean any activity that gets your heart rate up and causes you to sweat a little - even if it's gardening, walking, or cleaning your house.
Coping with stress can also help tame your blood sugar.
Your doctor can help you change your diet, make healthy food choices, control portions, and more.
Choose high-fiber foods. The fiber helps keep your blood sugar level on an even keel.
Also, swap white starchy foods for whole grains, put lots of vegetables in your diet, and go easy on sweetened beverages, including fruit juice.
If diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes are not enough to control your diabetes, your doctor can prescribe oral or injected treatments to treat the condition.
But even if you have a prescription, you still need to take those lifestyle steps. They can curb, or even end, the need for diabetes drugs for some people.
It's all about being good to yourself. Managing type 2 diabetes means taking care of yourself, no matter what.
"Diabetes requires self-care to do it well," Goland says. "While many women are comfortable at taking care of others, it can be hard for them to take care of themselves," she says.
Goland suggests involving a team of professionals to help you manage your diabetes - including your primary care doctor, nutritionist, and diabetes specialists.
Get your family on board, too. They can support you and learn healthy habits for themselves -- and that's a win for everyone.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

After considering public feedback, the village Board of Trustees will not make any major changes to on-street paid parking for the 2014 season.
"On the whole, on-street paid parking, as far as the law goes, will really be unchanged," Mayor Jeff Katz said.
The trustees are, however, recommending an increase to the price of all-day parking at Doubleday Field and a new system of issuing parking permits.
A January public hearing on the changes is likely to be set tonight at the trustees' December meeting. The meeting was moved to tonight at 6:30 p.m because a quorum was in doubt for Dec. 23, the traditional fourth-Monday-of-the-month day for the Cooperstown trustee meetings.
The trustees held a special meeting on Dec. 11 in which they considered public feedback on the on-street paid parking system. Katz said he thought the trustees came into the meeting with open minds about making changes, but the more they talked, the more they wanted another year of data before they considered major changes.
"To tell the truth, I wasn't sure how it was going to go," Katz said. "We really did consider a lot of things. We considered making changes on cost of the permits, on the cost of the meters, on changing to two-hour length to four hours, of changing 15 minute (unpaid) parking spots to 30 minutes, on extending the paid parking to other streets or further up Main Street to the county (buildings) area.
"The overall sense, once we got into discussions, was let's have a whole year where it works smoothly, since it did not work smoothly at the beginning, before we consider making major changes," he said.
The rollout of the paid parking in May was marred with technical problems, including a start-up failure with the machines, confusion about signage and a system-wide shutdown suffered by the vending partner Parkeon that came on the heels of the start-up failures. In addition, two machines had to be moved to Doubleday Field after the older machines in use there failed.

Some Sedgwick County leaders are leaning towards charging taxpayers a fee, if they use a credit card to pay their taxes.
Currently, the county pays about $1.2 million dollars in credit card fees when residents use plastic to pay for property taxes. Sedgwick county is the only Kansas county that does not require taxpayers to pick up the fee.
Jim Skelton, Commissioner, said that his district advisory board voted in favor of the fees. He said residents can use cash or check if they don't want to be charged a fee.
VISA has said if the county charges taxpayers the fee it will cancel it's contract with the county. The credit card company cancelled in Johnson County when leaders there turned the credit card fees over to the public.
The fees would also apply to debit cards.
Commissioners are expected to vote on the proposal within the next couple of weeks.

Barbara Bach
• GetBack Bond Ratings: Who Is The Best 007 Ever?
• Celebrity Birthdays, August 27
• Celebrity Birthdays, August 27
Birth Name: Barbara Bach
While her striking beauty suggested all manner of far off, exotic origins, Barbara Bach actually hailed from Queens, NY. Born Barbara Goldbach on Aug. 27, 1947 to an Austrian Jewish father and an Irish Catholic mother, she attended a Catholic all-girls school. Bach regarded herself as a tomboy, but her considerable beauty suggested career possibilities as a model, so she left her education behind at age 16 to work for the Ford Modeling Agency. The work took her overseas and she made her acting debut as Nausicaa in "The Odyssey" (RAI, 1968), an Italian miniseries depicting the adventures of mythical hero Ulysses. That same year, she married businessman Augusto Gregorini and the couple went on... Continue Bio >>

Wendouree finally goes screwcap
The natural cork movement is currently on a charm offensive with its ilovenaturalcork.co.uk campaign. Jilly Goolden was recently espousing cork's benefits in Hyde Park, and Prince Charles is incorporating the campaign into his current garden-party season at Clarence House. The message from cork producers is a strongly environmental one, emphasising their sustainable credentials and smearing alternative closures with rhetoric such as 'artificial plastic stoppers or screw caps use at least five times more energy per tonne to produce, before millions of them potentially end up in our landfills and oceans' (my italics)....

Hard-fought success is usually sweet, but for Roswell Provisions owners Cyril Blacha, Kelly Smith-Blacha and Lorry Kemp the ever increasing sales and overwhelming popularity of their charming market on Canton Street had an unexpected side effect - people wanted to buy everything, including the furniture.
"We decided to open 'Provisions for Home' to save our marriage," jokes Cyril. "Since the opening of Roswell Provisions, everybody wants to buy the furniture and decorations we used! As a business man, I was willing to sell it, but my wife, Kelly, refused and argued with me that not everything is for sale."
The couple compromised with the mid-December decision to open a secondary store on Alpharetta Street, just around the corner from their current location. Provisions for Home has the same look and feel of Roswell Provisions, but doesn't include the food sales element - focusing entirely on aesthetics sales including the type of furniture and decor which populates the flagship store.
"[Kelly] is now agreed that everything is for sale, even myself, with no return," Cyril continues to joke.
Provisions for Home sells old European antiques alongside local pieces; some of which are one of a kind items. Many of the pieces are unique industrial items that have been re-purposed in a decorative fashion.
"We are trying to keep our price as low as we can," said Cyril.
Cyril says the community response has been unsurprisingly favorable. People have told the couple how happy they are to have another retail option in the area, versus just another restaurant, he said.
The runaway success of Roswell Provisions, which now includes Provisions for Home, has the couple looking at different options for a new location potentially.
To check out the new store for yourself, stop by 942 Alpharetta Street in Roswell anytime: Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 12 p.m.-6 p.m.; and Friday, Saturday from 12 p.m.-9 p.m. Call them at 678-938-7225 or find them on Facebook.

Rain or shine, Devils fans are gathering at Championship Plaza in Newark for a memorial of the Yaroslavl Airplane Crash. It'll be at 5 PM on Friday, Sept. 9.
This is the new team of Alexander Vasyunov (Yaroslavl HC Lokomotiv).
For now there's only 3 survivors on 37 passengers & I don't know if Sasha was on the flight.
Sad Horrible news anyways
Update: There's only one survivor now, critically injured, he's been taken to hospital.
Editor's Note: Lou Lamoriello gave a statement here, reported by Tom Gulitti. His thoughts on Alexander Vasyunov makes this sad news feel a little more sad.

Honest…I will update my blog properly at some point
Now that im back in work I have to take time out every so often so that my brain doesnt numb up entirely so I'll go back and catch up later in the week.
In phone news I've went back to using my old Nokia that you could blow up and leave in the pissing rain for a year and it would still work. Same number but hopefully it will be more reliable than the phone I nicked from Vonnie. I also managed to forget my phone this morning so I can't even get a hold of Vonnie to find out if she's home or not (I lost my keys in the flat the other day and so unless she's home I'm locked out ). And with the house phone rejecting withheld numbers I can't even phone that from my office phone.
Ach well.

Cecil County Public Schools -
"Building a Foundation for Lifelong Learning"
Home > Superintendent's Message
A Message from the Superintendent
Dear Parents, Community Members, and Members of the CCPS Family:
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. As Superintendent, I often reflect on how thankful I am to have the opportunity to lead this county's school system. I am also thankful to live in a country that holds public education as a fundamental right for all of its citizens, so that every child has an opportunity to succeed.
In public education we are charged with the mission of educating all children, and it is an honor to work with employees, parents, business leaders, elected officials, and community members who recognize this cause as a noble one.
As we celebrate this Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to thank you for your support of this county's students. They each have varied backgrounds, carry with them different life experiences, and comprise all levels of learning. However, when they walk through the doors of Cecil County Public Schools, they become part of a family that will celebrate their individuality while also helping them to discover the many possibilities that are made possible by acquiring an education.
D'Ette W. Devine, Ed.D.

Gear Review: Patagonia Black Hole Daypack
Patagonia Black Hole
$149, 2 lbs. 4 oz.
35L/2,136 c.i.
One size
If I decide to become a big-city bike messenger when I grow up, this will be the pack I carry. But that's just a statement about its indestructibility; however, it's way more versatile than that. I used it for everything from a carry-on when flying and an around-town pack when biking errands, to hauling quickdraws and personal climbing gear for sport climbing at Idaho's Castle Rocks State Park, and on a five-pitch route on Steinfeld's Dome in the City of Rocks National Reserve. I could toss it onto rocks and the pack showed not a scratch. Continue reading →
Gear Review: Black Diamond Sonar Daypack
Black Diamond Sonar
$140, 2 lbs. 1 oz. (S/M)
Sizes: S/M (24L/1,464 c.i.), M/L (26L/1,587 c.i.)
What causes your body to get tired and achy on a dayhike? Well, aside from the obvious factors—how far you walk, the terrain's ruggedness, and your pack's weight (we'll leave your physical condition aside for now)—don't overlook the importance of how your pack fits and behaves on your back. When we walk, our bodies move a lot, arms, hips, and torso included. On several dayhikes, including a climb up Mt. St. Helens (10 miles, 4,500 feet), starting out with about 20 pounds (including food, water, and clothes for my family), and a 28-mile, 8,000-vertical-foot loop through Idaho's White Clouds Mountains in just over 10 hours, I found the Sonar's fit and suspension noticeably reduced the level of fatigue and soreness I felt at the end of each day.

Gear Review: Osprey Manta 28 Daypack
Osprey Manta 28
$140, 2 lbs. 4 oz. (S/M, 2 lbs. 15 oz. including the Osprey Hydraulics 3L/100 oz. reservoir that comes with the pack)
Sizes: S/M (26L/1,587 c.i.), M/L (28L/1,709 c.i.)
For multi-hour dayhikes, when you need to carry a fair bit of extra clothing, food, and water, I like a pack with at least 20 liters of capacity, good organization, easy access, and that carries a load efficiently. It's just a bonus if your back stays cool, too. With those two sentences, I've just summed up the Manta 28. Continue reading →
Gear Review Update: Ribz Front Pack
Ribz Front Pack
$60, 12.5 oz. (small)
Sizes: Small (fits waists 26-36 inches), regular (fits waists 32-46 inches)
The Ribz Front Pack won me over when I first started hiking with it more than a year ago because it keeps my DSLR, a second lens, and assorted smaller items in a readily accessible place: right in front of me. So it has replaced a bulky camera chest pack I had worn for years because it's comfortable and holds more while being less obtrusive. I've carried the Front Pack on virtually every backpacking trip since. Now the newly updated version sports subtle but laudable design changes that actually improve upon a piece of gear that I considered nearly perfect before. Continue reading →
Gear Review: Gregory Tempo 8L Hydration Pack
Trail-Running Hydration Pack
Gregory Tempo 8L
$149, 1 lb. 2 oz. (M/L, including 2L Hydrapak bladder)
Sizes: S/M and M/L
For trail runs of more than a couple of hours, I want a hydration pack that holds two liters of water, a jacket, hat, maybe light gloves, and enough energy food to get me through several hours—but that also glues itself to my back without jostling. After numerous runs on Boise Foothills trails and a rugged 14-miler in California's Tahoe National Forest, on steep paths constantly dropping into and climbing out of tributary canyons of the American River, I decided the Tempo 8L may be the best trail-running hydration pack I've found.

"The organization started some time ago now where you opened up step 1 for us and we were so excited at the prospect of being in control of organizing our wedding and having your assistance doing so. Each of the steps that were subsequently opened for us to complete were in so much detail that it left nothing to question. This was excellent as with us being so far away we had to leave this in your hands and what safe hands they were."
David and Yvonne – Villa San Crispolto, Scotland
"As time passed we came closer to our date all the while completing the eight step planner .You were so helpful as some of the things we didn't understand and you were always at the other end of the phone to gladly assist us in our every need and also to advise on different options that we were unfamiliar with."
Alan and Sandra - Villa Baroncino, Ireland
"Marco, we want to finish by expressing our utmost gratitude for everything you and Monica did to make our stay the most wonderful and special time imaginable. We could not recommend enough your Villa and to be honest Everything that goes with it. Anyone who wants an authentic Italian Wedding should choose yourselves as everything was done to perfection."
David and Yvonne – Villa San Crispolto, Scotland
"When we decided to get married abroad, we were a little bit apprehensive about having to plan a wedding from such a distance, without ever seeing the venue and meeting with the vendors. However, when we started the planning everything was so organized and clear, which inspired a lot of trust. We would especially like to thank Alexandra for this. Without her behind-the-scenes work, prompt replies and "always happy to help" attitude, I imagine the planning would have been a lot more stressful. So thank you for being so wonderful and making the whole experience so enjoyable for us."
Talje and Murat – Villa San Crispolto, Dubai
"Monica, a great asset to Romantic Italian Weddings proved a reassuring presence throughout not just the wedding day but also during the preceding week to ensure everything ran smoothly."
Simon and Leanne – Villa San Crispolto, England
"To Marco, and to Ina our venue manager and everyone with the Romantic Italian Weddings team: Thank you so much for helping organize the best day and week of our lives. We will never forget our Italian wedding week, you've give us the best possible start to married life, and we'll treasure the memories forever."
Luke and Katrina - Villa Baroncino, UK
"Marco, we want to finish by expressing our utmost gratitude for everything you and Alexandra did to make our stay the most wonderful and special time imaginable. We could not recommend enough your Villa and to be honest Everything that goes with it. Anyone who wants an authentic Italian Wedding should choose yourselves as everything was done to perfection."

Tort Law
Wis. Archdiocese Can Be Sued for Fraud
Posted Jul 11, 2007 12:31 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
It's too late for five alleged child victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Milwaukee between 1973 and 1982 to sue the archdiocese there for negligent supervision. But it may not be too late to sue for fraud, the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided today, reversing a lower court dismissal of the case.
A three-year statute of limitations bars the negligence claims, because it began on the day the sexual abuse last occurred, the court explains in a written opinion. But a six-year statute of limitations for fraud may not preclude the case, the court found, because the time clock only started running when the plaintiffs should have discovered the fraud, reports the Associated Press.
Plaintiffs in the case contend church officials fraudulently claimed two priests posed no danger to children even though they knew the two had a history of sexually abusing youths and that one had been criminally convicted of doing so. The priests were eventually transferred to California, where they molested more boys, the Tribune says.
The trial court must now establish "when the plaintiffs knew or should have known of the Archdiocese's alleged knowledge of the priests' past histories of sexual molestation of children," the supreme court's opinion says, to determine whether their fraud claims are time-barred under the six-year statute of limitations.
