Spray hair spray over the nail-polish stain. Use enough to cover the entire stain.
How to Remove Fingernail Polish From a Wood Surface
Fingernail polish stains on a wood floor or wooden furniture can be unsightly and can even ruin the wood. Removing fingernail polish is a mystery to many people, but understanding the nature of fingernail polish is key to its removal. Nail polish is a form of lacquer that can be removed the same as any other lacquer. Ultimately, you can remove these unsightly stains from wood and do so without damaging the surface or other finishes.
Things You'll Need
- Hair spray in a pump bottle
- Hair dryer or fan
- Rag or cloth
Allow the hair spray to set and dry on the nail-polish stain. Use a hair dryer on low heat or a fan to speed up the drying process.
Dampen the cloth and scrub the stain. The nail polish should begin to come off after a few minutes of scrubbing.
Spray again with hair spray and scrub the stain until it is completely clean. Allowing the hair spray to dry this time is not necessary.
Wipe the surface clean with a fresh damp cloth to remove any leftover nail polish and hair-spray residue.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Try repeating the preceding steps if necessary for stubborn dried-on stains.
- Use hair spray that is in a pump bottle only. Aerosol or mousse sprays will act as a solvent and damage the wood's coating.

PSU Professor on NH Economic Development Advisory Council
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University Associate Professor Daniel Lee has been named to New Hampshire's Economic Development Advisory Council as economist for a three year term.
"I am honored and excited to join the outstanding business leaders at the Council," said Lee. "I look forward to making contributions to help the state's economy move forward."
Lee has taught at PSU since 2012 and has also served as a tourism economist for the state since 2012. Since 2010, Lee has published a periodic economic report, the North Country Economic Index for the state of New Hampshire and Coos County. He is also a faculty fellow at PSU's Center for Rural Partnerships and has engaged in research projects serving the local communities. He is a project economist at the Institute for New Hampshire Studies, and has conducted economic impact studies for tourism-related organizations in the State of New Hampshire.
Carmen R. Lorentz, Director of the state's Division of Economic Development, said Lee will be an excellent resource for the Council.
"Dr. Lee has an extensive background in economics and his familiarity with New Hampshire's tourism economy will be a valuable asset to the New Hampshire Economic Development Advisory Council," Lorentz said.
Thad Guldbrandsen, PSU's Vice Provost for Research and Engagement, said Lee has a great track record in helping define the Granite State's economic development patterns and opportunities.
"Since arriving at PSU, Dan has been quietly, carefully working to understand what makes New Hampshire's economy tick," Guldbrandsen said. "We cannot understand New Hampshire's economy unless we understand tourism. Tourism is the second largest sector in our state's economy. Beyond that, the tourism is a key driver in real estate economy, building trades, and so much more. Dan is the New Hampshire economist that helps us understand what is happening with all of that. His will be a powerful voice for New Hampshire in the future."
"It is really rewarding to see Dan Lee's work recognized by others around the state," added Guldbrandsen. " He certainly deserves recognition for his work. This is also a testament to PSU's climate for research and scholarship that has supported Dan over these years."
Lee earned a Ph.D. in economics in 2007 from the Claremont Graduate University; he is a member of the Regional Science Association International.

Police Chief named Northfield's Employee of the Year
NORTHFIELD — Northfield Selectmen announce that Police Chief John Raffaelly has been named Northfield's Employee of the Year. The award was presented by Chair Steve Bluhm at the beginning of the February 25th meeting.
Chief Raffaelly is a lifelong Northfield resident. He began his career with the Northfield Police Department in 1993 as a part time officer. He became a full time officer in 1996 and was subsequently promoted to Corporal in 2007 and Sergeant in 2008. In 2012 John accepted the position of Police Lieutenant. He stepped into the role of acting Chief with the departure of Chief Stephen Adams in February 2013 and was promoted to Chief in October of that year.
"With the departure of Chief Stephen Adams, John was asked to, and readily agreed to, lead the Department through the transition to a new Chief." said Selectmen Kevin Waldron "He stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam, providing the leadership and guidance to members of the Department assuring the residents of Northfield remain well protected."

Comments about S.D. TIWARI
The Statue Maker
The death angels came to take a soul,
But the whole game appeared to be foul.
Thirteen alike persons standing in queue,
The real one they wanted, there's no clue.
Angels confused, whose soul they'll take;
'God' will never forgive, if they mistake.
In fact, the skilled and clever statue maker,
Could carve one's sculpture, truly similar.

About 32 million U.S. citizens tweeted about TV in 2012, according to a recent study by research firms SocialGuide and Nielsen.
About 32 million U.S. citizens tweeted about TV in 2012, according to a recent study by research firms SocialGuide and Nielsen.
The study found that there is a link between tweets and TV ratings. Study results show a strong correlation between Twitter activity and ratings in the 18-to-34-year-old demographic.
"While prior-year rating accounts for the lion's share of the variability in TV ratings, Twitter's presence as a top three influencer tells us that tweeting about live TV may affect program engagement," said SocialGuide CEO Andrew Somosi.
"We expected to see a correlation between Twitter and TV ratings, but this study quantifies the strength of that relationship."
The report finds that 80 percent of U.S. mobile device users check their tablet or smartphone several times a month while watching television. Another 40 percent check social media on their devices while watching TV.
In the 18-to-34-year-old demo the study found that Twitter activity directly correlates with TV rating increases. The study found that about an 8 percent increase in tweets by 18-to-34-year-olds correlates to a 1 percent jump in viewership for season premieres.
For mid-season replacements, Twitter activity also correlates to ratings. According to the study, when tweets about a mid-season replacement jump about 4 percent in the 18-to-34-year-old demo show ratings jump about 1 percent.
In the 34-to-49-year-old demo a 14 percent increase in Twitter volume corresponds to a 1 percent increase in a season premiere ratings. For mid-season replacements the numbers for the demographic show a 1 percent jump in ratings corresponds to about an 8 percent increase in Twitter volume.
"The TV industry is dynamic and it was important for us to analyze multiple variables to truly understand Twitter's impact on TV ratings," said Mike Hess, executive vice president of media analytics at Nielsen.
"While our study doesn't prove causality, the correlation we uncovered is significant and we will continue our research to deepen the industry's understanding of this relationship."
Nielsen and SocialGuide's study comes along with the news that Nielsen is set to launch the "Nielsen Twitter TV Rating" in the U.S. this fall. The offering will be the first syndicated-standard metric that examines reach of the TV discussion on Twitter.

California juice maker waging court battles on two fronts
The deep-pocketed pomegranate juice makers of POM Wonderful are now fighting a multi-front war over commercial speech.
In one federal court, the California-based company is on offense. It's challenging Coca-Cola Co. over the latter's use of "Pomegranate Blueberry" on certain juice labels, sold under the Minute Maid brand. POM Wonderful officials call the labels misleading.
But in another federal court, POM Wonderful is on defense. The company is trying to fend off the Federal Trade Commission's order that it stop making certain claims of its own.
The separate legal fights have engaged some of the nation's premier lawyers. They are also raising questions whose answers could reverberate well beyond the pomegranate orchards of California's San Joaquin Valley.
In one of two separate legal challenges now underway, the company is trying to convince the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal of a lower appellate court's decision. Last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled POM Wonderful could not challenge Coca-Cola's labels because the labels already met federal standards.
"If allowed to stand," POM Wonderful's attorneys, including former Solicitor General Seth Waxman, declared in one legal filing, "the 9th Circuit's opinion would have far-reaching consequences."
Underscoring the potential significance, the Supreme Court has invited the Obama administration to weigh in. The administration has not yet submitted its brief, to be considered when the court convenes in September.
On Wednesday, Georgetown University Law Center Professor Rebecca Tushnet said the long-term significance of the case "depends on what happens next."
"The 9th Circuit is an important circuit in false advertising litigation," Tushnet said in an interview. "However, sometimes cases that look very significant end up being fairly limited in practice as courts distinguish them away."
Founded by Stewart and Linda Resnick in Los Angeles, with orchards about 100 miles away in the southern San Joaquin Valley, the privately held POM Wonderful LLC produces pomegranate juice sold in distinctively bulbed bottles. The Resnicks also have vast citrus and other agricultural holdings, through their Roll Global corporation, and are reported by Forbes magazine to have a net worth of $2.2 billion.
Company officials could not be reached Wednesday and attorneys declined to comment.
Health claims, backed by millions of dollars in research funded by the company, have long flavored POM Wonderful's marketing.
"Some of POM's . . . advertisements are creative in nature, depicting the POM Wonderful Juice bottle in a number of unusual ways; for example, as an intravenous bag, covered by medical equipment such as a blood pressure cuff or EKG sensors . . . and accompanied by headlines such as 'amaze your cardiologist' and 'lucky I have super HEALTH POWERS,'" the FTC noted in January.
The five-member trade commission unanimously concluded that POM Wonderful had made "deceptive claims" in 36 advertisements and promotional materials. Officials barred the company from claiming the product was effective against any disease, "including heart disease, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction, unless the claim is supported by two randomized, well-controlled, human clinical trials."
POM Wonderful is challenging the commission's order, with an appeal now ripening before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In an opening brief filed Aug. 16, the company contends that the FTC bans constitutionally protected speech.
"POM's advertisements advance accurate, truthful, and carefully qualified claims about the health benefits of consuming pomegranate juice. Those claims are based on the best science that is reasonably available," the company declared.
Last week, several industry and consumer groups filed amicus briefs supporting POM Wonderful, arguing that the trade commission was effectively blocking many healthy food claims by insisting on expensive randomized clinical trials.
The Obama administration has not yet responded to the appeal. In its January decision, though, the FTC noted that the First Amendment allows some regulation of advertising.
"The federal government is free to prevent the dissemination of commercial speech that is false, deceptive, or misleading," the FTC stated.
A different kind of speech dispute pits POM Wonderful against Coca-Cola, in the fight now being served up to the Supreme Court.
POM Wonderful used a federal law called the Lanham Act to claim Coca-Cola misleadingly labeled its pomegranate-blueberry product. Less than 1 percent of the latter juice came from pomegranates or blueberries; nearly all comes from apple or grape juice.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the suit, reasoning that the Food and Drug Administration had already preempted labeling oversight. The FDA had completed extensive rule-making to spell out how juice blends can be labeled, and had specifically permitted blends to be identified by a "non-primary" but "characteristic" juice.
"FDA has promulgated highly specific rules for hundreds of foods and beverages, from beef stew (which) must be 25 percent meat, to peanut butter, (which) must be 90 percent peanuts," Coca-Cola's attorneys wrote in a legal brief. "Manufacturers should not be exposed to lawsuits by competitors under the Lanham Act simply because they have adhered to these FDA prescriptions."

Sprinter makes inroads with college students
Two groups are testing the Sprinter passenger train as a way to commute: college students and bicyclists.
The number of daily riders jumped from 7,600 in August to 8,600 in September, when colleges went back into full session. Daily ridership dropped to 7,800 at the end of October.
The Sprinter was an immediate hit with area bicycle riders. To accommodate them, the North County Transit District recently put bicycle lockers into service at its stations.
The Sprinter's Palomar College station, with nearly 1,000 boardings, ranks as the third-busiest of the 15 stops behind the Escondido and Vista transit centers, with about 1,300 and 1,200 daily riders. It exceeds the Oceanside Transit Center, a transfer point for four different train systems that has 1,000 daily boardings.
Officials with the North County Transit District, which operates the train, said ridership on all their systems – buses and the Coaster and Sprinter trains – has increased despite recent cuts in funding and bus routes.
"You would think ridership would decline," said Richard Hannasch, the district's financial director.
The increase in gasoline prices in late summer and early autumn drove some people toward public transit, district officials say.
The $480 million Sprinter, which operates between Oceanside and Escondido, went into operation in March. The trains depart on the half-hour from the two terminals on weekdays and run between 4 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Three colleges lie along the Sprinter line – Palomar in San Marcos, California State University San Marcos and MiraCosta College in Oceanside, which is about a mile from the nearest stop.
To encourage student ridership, the transit district has teamed with colleges to discount its monthly pass, which is $59.
MiraCosta students pay $44, Palomar students $47 and Cal State San Marcos students $49. The prices vary because each college pitches in a different amount.
Palomar, with 30,000 students, sells the most monthly passes, at 500. MiraCosta, with about 10,000 students, sells 150, and Cal State San Marcos, with about 11,000 students, sells 200.
Many other students buy daily passes, and those 18 or younger qualify for the $32 youth pass.
Cal State San Marcos provides a free shuttle service that takes students from the station at La Moree and Barham roads to the heart of campus, nearly half a mile away.
The recent rise in gas prices and a congested state Route 78 have prompted some students to opt for mass transit.
"I used to drive, but it was $250 for a parking pass," said Cal State San Marcos senior Sara Pietsch.
She said now she parks at El Camino Real and rides the Sprinter to school.
"It saves me a lot of money on gas," she said. It also takes the same amount of time because of congestion on Route 78, Pietsch said, and she can study.
The Sprinter proved so popular with bicyclists in the summer that the transit district said it would limit bikes to four per car, to prevent them from blocking aisles and taking space reserved for wheelchairs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Hiawatha (also known as Ayenwatha, Aiionwatha, or Haiëñ'wa'tha; Onondaga)[1] was a pre-historical Native American leader and co-founder of the Iroquois confederacy. Depending on the version of the narrative he was a leader of the Onondaga, or the Mohawk or both. According to some versions he was born an Onondaga, but adopted into the Mohawk.
Hiawatha was a follower of The Great Peacemaker (Deganawida), a Huron prophet and spiritual leader who proposed the unification of the Iroquois peoples, who shared common ancestry and similar languages. The Great Peacemaker was a compelling spiritual presence, but was impeded in evangelizing his prophecy by foreign affiliation and a severe speech impediment. Hiawatha, a skilled and charismatic orator,[citation needed] was instrumental in persuading the Senecas, Cayugas, Onondagas, Oneidas and Mohawks to accept the Great Peacemaker's vision and band together to become the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy. The Tuscarora nation joined the Confederacy in 1722 to become the Sixth Nation.
In attempting to date the Great Peacemaker and Hiawatha, focus has come to an incident related to the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy, their life work. One rendition of the oral history eventually written down by scholars involves a division among the Seneca nation, the last Indian nation to join the confederacy. A violent confrontation began and was suddenly stopped when the sun darkened and it seemed like night. Scholars have successively studied the possibilities of this being a solar eclipse since 1902 when William Canfield wrote Legends of the Iroquois; told by "the Cornplanter".[2] Successive other scholars who mention it were (chronologically): Paul A. W. Wallace,[3] Elizabeth Tooker,[4] Bruce E. Johansen,[5][6] Dean R. Snow,[7] Barbara A. Mann and Jerry L. Fields,[8] William N. Fenton,[9] David Henige,[10] Gary Warrick,[11] and Neta Crawford.[12]
Since Canfield's first mention,[2] and the majority view,[3][4][7][9][11] scholars have supported the 1451AD date[13] for the plausible solar eclipse mention. Some argue it is an insufficient fit for the description and favor 1142AD[5][8][14] while a few question the whole idea.[10]
Archeological supporting arguments have progressed. In 1982 Dean Snow considered the mainstream view of the archeology to not support dates before 1350AD.[7] By 1998 Fenton considered it unlikely but possible after 1000AD.[9] By 2007/8 reviews considered it clearly possible even if most still supported the 1451AD as the safe choice.[11][12]
The Hiawatha Belt is made of 6,574 wampum beads - 38 rows by 173 columns and has 892 white and 5,682 purple beads. The purple represents the sky or universe that surrounds us, while the white represents purity and Good Mind (good thoughts, forgiveness and understanding). The belt symbolizes these Five Nations from west to east in their respective territories across New York state: Seneca (keepers of the western door), Cayuga (People of the Swamp), Onondaga (Keepers of the Fire), Oneida (People of the Standing Stone) and Mohawk (keeper of the eastern door)—by open squares of white beads with the central figure signifying a tree or heart. The white open squares are connected by a white band that has no beginning or end, representing all time now and forever. The band, however, does not cross through the center of each nation, meaning that each nation is supported and unified by a common bond and that each is separate in its own identity and domain. The open center also signifies the idea of a fort protected on all sides, but open in the center, symbolizing an open heart and mind within.
The tree figure signifies the Onondaga Nation, capital of the League and home to the central council fire. It was on the shores of Onondaga Lake where the message of peace was "planted" and the hatchets were buried.[citation needed] From this tree four white roots sprouted, carrying the message of unity and peace to the four directions.
The Hiawatha Belt has been dated to the mid-18th century. Near its center it contains a bead made of colonial lead glass. It is believed the design is as old as the league itself and that the present belt is not the original.[15]
The Hiawatha Belt forms the basis of the flag of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, created in the 1980s. It is the central device in the design on the reverse of the U.S. 2010 Native American dollar (also known as the Sacagawea dollar). It is also included in the logo of the Hamilton Nationals, a Major League Lacrosse team.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Mohamed Ghilan is a neuroscience PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, Canada, and a student of Islamic jurisprudence.
The former British Prime Minister Tony Blair made a pointing remark in his article in the Daily Mail when he wrote, "There is a problem within Islam - from the adherents of an ideology which is a strain within Islam." Mr Blair missed the mark about where the problem lies. It's not a problem within Islam per se; it's a problem with a particular mindset that a very few Muslims fall into, which results in a very potently dangerous effect.
Rich Nielsen of Harvard University recently published a study in which he found that the main factors driving radicalism were not poverty or ideology of teachers. Rather, it was the poor quality of academic and educational networks. Based on his research, Nielsen found clerics with the best
Rich Nielsen of Harvard University recently published a study in which he found that the main factors driving radicalism were not poverty or ideology of teachers. Rather, it was the poor quality of academic and educational networks. Based on his research, Nielsen found clerics with the best academic networks had a 2-3 percent chance of becoming self-styled jihadists, as opposed to a 50 percent chance for those who were badly networked. This is an interesting finding given that under a traditional Islamic education paradigm, students study the same texts with different teachers in order to get different perspectives. Interestingly, they're also warned against the blind following of a single scholar.
Many Hadiths (sayings of Prophet Muhammad) have been transmitted in which Muslims are warned against extremism in religion. In one highly significant Hadith, Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said, "Towards the latter times a people will come who have little knowledge; are deficient in intellect; will speak quoting the best of people; have thick beards; wearing shortened garments; have shaved heads; have good speech but foul actions; claiming to act upon the Book of God but have no relation to it; they recite the Quran but it doesn't pass their throats; and they exit from Islam as an arrow exits from its bow." In another Hadith Prophet Muhammad told his companions that in relation to these people each companion will "belittle his prayer to their prayer, and his fasting to their fasting". Prophet Muhammad said about such a people that they will be ones who will engage in senseless killing of innocents in the name of religion, and so they will need to be sought after and fought.
A Muslim sage once said, "The self is insidious and it inclines towards extremism in righteousness or in wickedness." The current state of Muslims-gone-extreme is a version of Islam being perverted that the Prophet of Islam directly warned against. The ability to quote verses from the Quran isolated from the context of passages and without providing the contextual background for which those verses came about has always been recognised by Muslims to be a clumsy handling of Scripture. This is a problem that plagues not only modern day Kharijites in the form of extremist Muslims; it's also one that extremist critics of Islam such as Sam Harris have fallen for.
It says nothing about the Quran, good or bad, to take isolated verses as Harris does and present them as proof for one's case against Islam. But it speaks volumes about the mindset of the individual who engages in such selective reading. What it indicates is not a problem that's necessarily within the Islamic teachings. Polls and statistics done over the years have constantly shown that the overwhelming majority of Muslims don't adhere to, and in fact condemn, extremist ideologies. In fact, Gallup polls conducted in 2011 revealed that Muslim Americans were more likely than any other faith group to reject attacks on civilians. What extremist Muslims and extremist critics of Islam have in common is not the Scripture. Rather, they share the same mentality and approach to Scripture, and all they differ in is on which fundamentalist side of the coin they fall.
The answer is not going to come from trying to eradicate teachings such as Jihad as Tarek Fatah, the founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, constantly calls for. Jihad, which in this context refers to the conduct during military operations, is grossly misrepresented and misunderstood by both Muslim extremists claiming to be engaged in it and anti-Islam extremists calling for its elimination from Islam. Lesley Hazleton, the award-winning British-American writer, gave a TEDx talk in October 2010 outlining what seemed like her dedication of more time to the Quran than extremists on both sides of the Islamic divide. In her talk she didn't give an interpretation, but simply the context of several verses in the Quran that are being used by extremists. The context alone exposed the dishonesty of extremists' handling of these verses.
Like other traditions, Islam is not a simpleton religion. Change will come from properly educating Muslims about what something like Jihad actually is about, the different forms of it, how it's engaged, who's allowed to call for a military aspect of it, and when it becomes an anarchist criminal activity as it most certainly has nowadays.

Hi: 12° Lo:5°
By Nigel Slater Tuesday 05 February 2013 Updated: 05/02 17:08
MUMS-TO-BE in Evesham are set to benefit after a new high-tech portable scanner was bought for the town's hospital.
The Phillips CX50 device, which cost more than £28,000, allows women in their first three months of pregnancy to have higher quality screening for conditions such as Down's Syndrome at Evesham Community Hospital.
The scanner, which will be used in the hospital's antenatal clinic, was funded by donations from the Friends of Evesham Community Hospital.
Previously the hospital's old machine was not able to calculate the precise measurements needed to identify the chance of a baby developing certain conditions.
The money to buy the device was raised after Aldona Morrison, midwife sonographer lead for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, approached the Friends of Evesham Community Hospital.
"I am so grateful to the Friends of Evesham Community Hospital for allowing us to offer such a vital service in the community," she said.
"The purchasing of this new equipment will help us to further improve our services and make this significant test more accessible to women."
Weekly clinics are being set up at the hospital offering tests for women with around 60 scans expected to be carried out every month.
Frances Smith, chairman of The Friends of Evesham Community Hospital, said having the new device was great news for the Evesham Community Hospital.
"The Friends of Evesham Community Hospital were pleased to be able to commit funds to this very worthwhile project," she added.
"As supporters of the hospital we are pleased that by purchasing this important piece of equipment, expectant mothers can access this service closer to home and we are pleased that the Acute Trust is expanding this valuable service at Evesham."

You don't become aa successful a coach as Paige Wilson is by leaving things to chance.
It would be easy for Camden and head coach Jimmy Neal to look to the heavens and ask, "Why us?"
Led by a second-place finish from Clark Joseph, the Camden High boys' cross country team finished fifth in last week's Region 4-AAA cross country championship held in Chapin.
Getting payback and the top seed for the state playoffs all in the same night: It could not get much better for the Camden High volleyball team.
Who could have blamed Westwood for looking a bit confused as they took the field for the final play of the game on Friday.
This is one game ball which Camden head coach Jimmy Neal wants the referee to return to him after the final horn sounds.
For the second time this season the Camden High girls' tennis team defeated first year school, Westwood, by a score of 6-0.
Last week, the Camden High girls' tennis team dismantled Region 4-AAA foes Lower Richland and Dreher, while dropping a non-conference match to West Florence.
It seemed as if every time Ross Hough looked out over center, all he saw was a vast expanse of green grass.
It will be homecoming at Camden High tonight, but the football game will give the Bulldog faithful a look into the future.
In a lengthy, but thrilling match, the Camden girls' tennis team needed better than three hours before coming away with a hard-fought 4-3 win over Hartsville last Thursday night in a pairing contested at the CHS Athletic Complex.
HOPKINS --- When the clean-up crew gets to the visitors' locker room at Lower Richland High School, there is a good chance they may find some items left behind by the Camden football team from halftime of Friday night's game.
This is how you celebrate being number one.
Camden wants what Lower Richland already has.
Following a 6-0 dismantling of Westwood last Tuesday, the Camden High tennis team fell for the second time in five Region 4-AAA pairings in a 4-2 defeat at Chapin on Thursday.
Chapin scored twice in each half while visiting Camden had a goal overturned and missed scoring another by inches in the first half. The result was a 4-1 Eagle victory in a Region 4-AAA boys' soccer match played Friday night in Chapin.
After opening the Region 4-AAA season with four straight wins, the Camden High softball team was upended by defending conference champion Chapin, 10-0, last Friday night.
Camden outscored both Great Falls and McBee to win their third girls' track meet of the season in a meet held at the Camden High Athletic Complex last Thursday.
It may have made for a messy scorebook but Camden Highbaseball coach Denny Beckley came out clean when asked his plan of attack in Monday's game with Ridge View in the Kershaw-Richland Wooden Bat Tournament.

Andrews' Flowers in the Attic series, If There Be Thorns follows Christopher (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City, Brothers & Sisters) and Cathy Dollanganger (Rachael Carpani, McLeod's Daughters) as they live together as man and wife in California with Cathy's two sons, who are unaware of the nature of their parents' relationship. Mason Cook (Legends) will play Cathy's son, Bart.
Lewis and Carpani take over roles played by Wyatt Nash and Rose McIver, respectively, in Petals on the Wind, and before that, Mason Dye and Kiernan Shipka in Flowers in the Attic. It's unclear which, if any, other castmembers from either movie will return.
If There Be Thorns will debut on Lifetime in 2015, with the fourth book in Andrews' series, Seeds of Yesterday, also near an official greenlight. Lifetime would also premiere the latter in 2015.
If There Be Thorns will be produced by A+E Studios in association with Front Street Pictures. Dan Angel (R.L Stine's The Haunting Hour) and Jane Startz (Spooksville) are on board to executive produce. Andy Cochran (Restless Virgins) will pen the script for the TV movie, which will be directed by Independent Spirit Award nominee Nancy Savoca (If These Walls Could Talk). Harvey Kahn (Flowers in the Attic) and Rick Arredondo (Petals on the Wind) will produce. A+E Networks will handle global sales for If There Be Thorns.
Petals on the Wind bowed over Memorial Day and averaged 3.4 million viewers, down significantly from the 6.1 million who tuned in to Flowers in the Attic in January. In the all-important adults 18-49 demo, Petals collected 1.5 million, off 37 percent from Flowers.
Lewis is repped by Resolution and Silver Lining Entertainment; Carpani is with Gersh, McKeon Myones and Stone Meyer; Cook, whose credits also include The Haunting Hour, The Goldbergs and The Middle, is with Coast to Coast, Evolution and Hirsch Wallerstein.

Two southern football legends have, in a way, combined forces in an attempt to resurrect a Chattanooga football program that has earned just one spot in the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs and has had but one winning season in the last 11 years.
Athletics Director Steve Sloan was brought on board in April of 2002. A former All-America quarterback at Alabama who was a backup to Joe Namath and was backed up by Ken Stabler, Sloan went on to a successful coaching career in the college ranks. One of his prize recruits at Texas Tech was Rodney Allison. Allison was a Heisman Trophy candidate and the Southwest Conference Most Valuable Player in 1976 as the Red Raiders' quarterback.
Most recently, Allison was the defensive ends coach at Clemson for the last four years.
Mocs boosters and followers hope the Sloan-Allison relationship pays quick dividends again. Sloan hired Allison Dec. 6, 2002, to reconstruct the UTC program. In his eyes, there was no better choice for the position of head football coach.
"Rodney was what they called a sudden player in Texas," Sloan said of his former quarterback. "When he had the ball, his team was suddenly ahead. He helped me look good as a coach. He is every bit as good a coach as he was a player."
Now in his first head coaching job, Allison was attracted to the UTC position for several reasons, the utmost one being Sloan.
"I have been an assistant coach for a long time," Allison said. "There is a certain mystique out there about why this program hasn't been successful. I am still trying to figure that one out. It should be a job where you can compete year in and year out. What made the job most attractive is Steve Sloan as the athletics director. I feel very strongly about his philosophy, and I know we share a common goal."
Allison admits the job he is undertaking will be challenging. The Mocs lost nine straight games last year to open the season before winning two of the last three and finish 2-10.
While the squad will be without the services of All-America linebacker Josh Cain and quarterback Ryan McCann, Allison does have some talent with which to work. Senior receiver Jason Jones led the Southern Conference in touchdown catches in 2002 with 10 and was a Second-Team All-SoCon selection.
Jones joined center Chris Cook and place kicker Patrick Shutters on an All-Southeast Region Team. Utility player Jeremy Grier led the league in all-purpose yardage and was fourth in the SoCon in receptions.
The quarterback position will be a question mark this season. McCann was a kind of one-hit wonder for the Mocs. He transferred to UTC from UCLA for his senior season and won the starting job at quarterback. In the old regime's Air Raid offense, McCann stood second in the conference in passing yards and ranked 30th nationally with 210 yards per game.
When McCann went down with a shoulder injury early in the season, Justin Barnes took over the controls. Barnes, a senior, has seen various degrees of action over the last two seasons. Last season, Barnes completed 53.2 percent of his pass attempts (50-for-93), with four touchdowns and three interceptions. Unfortunately, the sure incumbent at signal caller will serve as a student assistant this season because an injury has pulled him from the field.
Sophomore Kurtis Koester and freshman Matthew Lopez, both of whom redshirted last season, will battle for the first-string quarterback job. Lopez was named the starter following spring drills.
"We are OK right now at quarterback," Allison said. "I feel that we have two or three players who can be effective in our offense. We will be as good on offense as what our quarterbacks are capable of doing."
After three years of the Air Raid produced 10 victories, Allison and his staff plan on installing a more basic offensive system.
"Our offense will be very multiple," he said. "I've been on the defensive side of the ball for the last four years. I have learned a lot of things by being a defensive coach. We will not be successful here at UTC until we can run the ball. We are going to mix it up somewhat. We will run some option, and we will pass it a little bit."
With the offense now centered more on the running game, the running back position will be more of a premium. That spot, however, took a blow when last year's leading ground-gainer, Jason Ball, and promising sophomore Patrick Flanagan, decided not to return to the squad this season. In 2002, Ball, who was coming off a serious knee injury from the previous year, ran for 516 yards and three touchdowns on 150 carries.
The focus now falls on junior college transfer Mario Hain, who averaged 4.3 yards per carry with 373 yards on 87 rushes as a junior last year. Flanagan, who received his share of action in the backfield as a true freshman last year and was the team's third-leading rusher, decided to leave the team to concentrate on a future in medical school.
The aforementioned Jones was switched from receiver to running back this spring to shore up that position.
Allison, who said he needs a playmaker in the backfield, hopes Jones can translate his pass-catching success into touchdowns of the running variety. Jones, who played running back as a freshman, has 58 career carries for 196 yards.
Jessie Chesterfield, a senior with limited experience, should also be in the rotation. The Mocs may also have to rely on several newcomers for depth at running back.
The offensive line will be under the microscope because of the increased emphasis on the running game. The line took some hits with the graduation of all-conference guard Heath Adams and giant tackle Aaron Deal.
The returnees, however, form a sturdy line anchored by senior center Chris Cook, who, the staff feels, is the top center in the conference. Cook, a block-like 6-foot-1, 298 pounds, owns the squad's best squat and bench press statistics.
A question mark surrounds senior tackle James Clark (6-3, 256). A Preseason All-America honoree in 2002, Clark missed the final six games because of a rare internal illness. Although his weight and strength have dropped off a bit, he has been cleared to play and should be solid at his old tackle spot.
Sophomore Josh Shinpaugh (6-5, 280), one of the best freshmen in the league last year, will line up opposite Clark at the other tackle.
Senior Zach Davis (6-2, 284) is slated to start at a guard position for the second straight year. Stepping in for Adams will be either sophomore Josh Goodin (6-2, 282), sophomore Josh Morris (6-4, 276) or senior Theo Harris (6-4, 319), a converted defensive lineman.
"Depth-wise, I am not sure about our line," Allison said. "Our first five or six are good enough to win. We have had to spend a lot of time on the running game with them. By the time the season begins, I would like to have two solid lines."
The Mocs signed six offensive linemen this winter, and each one tips the scales at 290 pounds or more.
UTC has produced seven All-SoCon receivers in the last nine years, beginning with Terrell Owens in 1995.
The top two pass-catchers from last year's squad return. Senior Jason Jones and junior Jeremy Grier ranked third and fourth respectively in the SoCon in catches with 57 and 46 respectively and ranked fourth and eighth respectively in receiving yards per game (67.9 and 52.1). Jones, who, as stated earlier, was moved to running back in the spring, led the league in touchdown catches with 10.
With the move, Grier is now the leader of the young receiver corps. Junior Ebrahim Tehrani returns after a surprising sophomore season with the Mocs. Tehrani ranked sixth on the team, with 13 catches and 168 yards and showed tremendous speed on a 63-yard scoring play at Western Carolina.
Sure-handed redshirt freshman Matt Hale will compete for playing time, and sophomore Kwento Ikwuezunma returns after missing a year with a severe ankle injury. Ikwuezunma was one of the top freshmen in the conference in 2001 before suffering an ankle injury so terrible it kept him from playing last season. He caught 22 passes for 222 yards as a freshman and scored a touchdown on a punt return.
Recent signee Alonzo Nix, a junior college transfer, enrolled at UTC in January and has been competing in spring drills. He was one of the nation's top junior college receivers last year at Jones Junior College in Mississippi and will likely vie for immediate playing time.
Allison says his offense will include the tight end in passing situations. But his tight ends must excel at run blocking. Junior Barrett Brightwell has the talent and the body to be one of the best at his position in the league. He caught 18 passes for 186 yards in a reserve role last season. Still, Allison sees room for improvement.
"Barrett Brightwell has to learn how to run block," Allison said. "He has to work hard and show us that he has improved in that area. He is a big target and has good hands. He will get some throws this year."
Sophomore Brian Arnold will also compete for time at the tight end position. Redshirt freshman Michael Saporito, a converted quarterback, has also been working with the tight ends.
Defensively, UTC will employ a 4-2-5 scheme with a third linebacker dropping off on the edges or wings. The line will move around and give multiple looks, and the secondary will disguise coverages while playing zone or man-to-man.
The defense will miss the nation's leading tackler from 2002, linebacker Josh Cain. Cain registered 192 total stops on the season, 120 more than his nearest teammate.
Senior linebacker Blake Kirkland is the Mocs' top returning tackler. He finished third on the team with 64 total hits and recorded seven tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. Kirkland heads a linebacking crew, which includes part-time starters Jason Jackson and Bernard Snowden, both seniors. Jackson collected 51 tackles last season, and Snowden had 49.
Allison likes his senior linebacker trio and feels that the threesome's performance will be the key to the success of the defense
"They are all down-hill players and have pretty sound linebacker-type bodies," he said. "These three stand out. We need them to be around the ball on every play."
The defensive line has a mixture of experience and youth. Leonard Mays, a senior, has seen the most extensive action and has played tackle and end through the years. He made 16 stops last year and had three pass deflections from his end position.
Junior Tim Powers made five starts at nose last year before missing the rest of the year with an injury. In his limited action, he had 19 stops with five for negative yardage.
Troy Blackwell turned into a force as a redshirt freshman last year. The 6-7 end notched 22 tackles with 14 solos and two for negative yardage. Using his remarkable wingspan, Blackwell also blocked two kick attempts.
Junior Chivas Newell and sophomore Renaldo Jackson have the potential to make a splash this season at tackle. Newell sat out last season after transferring from Georgia Military College. Jackson, who started slowly after a car accident the previous summer, finished with 17 tackles.
"I am pleased with the line, but they are not big enough," Allison said. "We have four or five good ones out there. They have been told they are under pressure to produce. They have been inconsistent. Troy Blackwell is a very imposing presence on the edge. He has a chance to help us. Tim Powers is a fighter. He is undersized, but he just gets the job done on the line. He has the right attitude to play on the line. Renaldo Jackson has really grown up and has a chance to be a really good player."
The secondary was a trouble spot last season. While all defensive passing problems cannot be blamed on this area, the Mocs did give up 23 touchdowns through the air in 2002, one more than their own Air Raid offense scored.
The Mocs are not without experience in the backfield. Senior Greg Knight appealed and was granted an extra year of eligibility after missing his freshman year because of academic issues. The versatile Knight has played both corner and safety spots. He led the squad with two interceptions last season and ranked seventh with 50 tackles.
Junior Quentin Harris is the second-leading returning tackler after collecting 61 stops with three pass deflections in 2002.
"Greg Knight has played here for some time, and Quentin Harris has experience at safety," Allison said. "You can tell which ones have been here. They have played in games, and they have maturity and leadership."
Redshirt freshman Tyrone Baisden has also caught Allison's eye in the secondary. Ryan Andrews, a sophomore who was injured during spring drills, made 18 stops with one breakup during his first year.
Junior college transfer Randy Craft, who enrolled at UTC in January, has been impressive in spring drills and should nail down a starting job.
Freshman William High, redshirt freshman Stephen Allison and sophomore James Hawkins could also line up in the defensive backfield.
The strongest part of special teams is kicker Patrick Shutters. The senior, an All-Southeast Region performer last season, made his first six field goal attempts last year and finished 8-for-10. He missed only one extra point try. Shutters will also handle kickoffs.
Last year's punter, senior Travis Grubb, finished with the third-best career punting average at UTC. Allison's staff beat out some major college programs for the services of prep punting star Jonathan Wright. Allison says the job is likely Wright's to lose with Shutters serving as the backup, if needed.
Replacements will be needed at long snapper and holder. Aaron Deal, who snapped for the last two years, has a chance to play professionally at that position. Several speedy candidates will audition for punt and kickoff returns.
Sloan's theory on scheduling is to try to redevelop some regional and intrastate rivalries. The Mocs have Samford back on the schedule and open up with the Bulldogs Aug. 28 on a Thursday night.
Trips to Vanderbilt and Gardner-Webb sandwich a home date with neighboring Tennessee Tech.
The SoCon schedule brings Wofford, Western Carolina, The Citadel and Furman to Finley Stadium, while the Mocs must visit Georgia Southern, new-member Elon, Appalachian State and East Tennessee State.
"I have a lot of respect for the Southern Conference," Allison said. "I have never coached in it, but I am looking forward to it. Our league is almost like a little version of the ACC or the SEC. It is a high-caliber conference.
"Our non-conference schedule is good for us. Coach Sloan is doing the right things with our schedule. He is trying to create some rivalries, and it is going to be good for both schools involved."
As Chattanooga's fifth head coach in the last 12 seasons, Allison realizes the task of turning around the Mocs program is not an easy one. While he sees the need for immediate patience, he also has an agenda for he and his staff to work as hard as possible to take the program to a championship level.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Lodges are abit tired but would stay again!
Great but could do with wifi in lodges
Enjoyed it very much so , will be considering re-visiting in the near future hopefully
We have stayed in lodges/cabins before and found them to be cozier and hot tub better placed.
lovely cottage and hot tub but the only failing was the creaky bed and sides of the oven broken..however this did not affect our holiday and we would return again.
A brilliant stay, the staff were friendly and willing to help. We had a problem with iur fridge shelf on arrival but this was replaced within 10 minutes of being reported. The free milk and bread was also a nice touch. If you are looking for on-site activities then this isnt the place for you (unless you like to fish) but there are plenty of places to visit a short drive away. The spa prices appeared reasonable but we didnt make a visit so cannot comment on that part of the stay. Overall a great trip away in a great resort. Thanks and we will be back!
Cabin was clean and looked new. All facilities were working and the staff were pleasant. Good value.
Would stay again and would highly recommend.
I will definitely be returning to Woodland Lake Lodges. I loved the atmosphere and the facilities. My experience here was absolutely perfect. The lady on reception is a credit to the company and very helpful.
I loved that I could take my dog too.
I have already recommended to friends and I shall be coming back soon.
Great place to stay. Would go back. Just a few things I would like to mention: main 1 being the noise the roof made when it was windy & also a few things within the lodge were broken but other than that a great weekend for us. Thank you.
We had a fantastic time at the lodge, especially when we had the chance to upgrade for just £50. We would probably come again if it had more entainment facilities eg pool table, dart board etc.
Fantastic ,peaceful and scenic surroundings I would recommend to anybody who wants tranquility.
Lovely lodges in a lovely location!! Facilities amazing & staff very helpful, Whitby not far away, lovely day out & beautiful fish & chips ;) would definitely stay at woodland lake lodges again
Lovely place helpful staff would definitely return!
Lovely relaxing weekend will definitely go again.

I have never made a pie before, but the neighbors tree was full of peaches so I decided to attempt this one. My boys helped me make it. It was so easy and the house smelled great while it baked. We ate half for dessert, by breakfast the rest was gone. We are picking more peaches today for a second pie!
DH loved this pie! I cut the sugar to less than half a cup, the peaches were very sweet, used becel instead of butter and used frozen peaches , the last of last years, getting ready to freeze more this year. My pastery was not the best this time, and the juice made quite a mess but tasted wonderful! Thanks for posting.
Fantastic! Tastes great with vanilla ice cream or vanilla ice cream with a caramel swirl.

C flammula: how tall when mature?
Hello there,
I planted two of those in my back yard at an ivy covered wall abot 8 feet high. In the nursery catalogue (which is very reliable concerning perennials) the height was said to be 2 m/ 6 to 7 feet. So I thought they would be perfect in that spot.
But when I looked it up just recently in a very detailed book on Clematis it was described as a vigorous climber reaching 3-4 m/ 10 - 14 feet.
The soil in the back yard is rather heavy and loamy with loads of worms and natural leaf (leave?) mulch from a neighbour s elm tree.
How tall got your specimens and do you prune them hard every spring according to group 3-Clematis (said so in the book)?
Thanks for your comments,
cheers, Linaria
Don't have flammula but you are discovering what everyone discovers about clematis when research is done on them---that the plants have various listed growing heights based on the source of the information (Flower color, zone hardiness ratings, and when they bloom are additional info that you will find conflicting information on about clematis). To add more to the confusion, COTW lists the plant as getting 3 to 5 meters tall which translates into roughly 10 feet to almost 16.5 feet tall.
All you can do is take this information as a general guide and see how the plant does in your own garden. There are way too many factors that could affect the plant's eventual height such as soil fertility, length of growing season, age of plant, amount of sunlight/shade it gets, the microclimate the plant is grown in, etc.
If you don't prune group IIIs as they should be, that is hard in the winter/early spring, then the lower stems will get woody, have no leaves on them, and the flowers will be up higher on the newer wood that is produced each season. Type IIIs customarily bloom on new wood that is produced each growing season and not on previous year's wood.
