Comments about Captain America Child's Gloves:
My grandson loved this custome when he opened up the package. He wore it on Halloween and did not want to get it wrinkled while sitting in his car seat. I put it on him when we met with other family members to go trick or treating in another town.

42 U.S. Code § 15024 - State plan
In general
Any State desiring to receive assistance under this part shall submit to the Secretary, and obtain approval of, a 5-year strategic State plan under this section.
Planning cycle
The plan described in subsection (a) of this section shall be updated as appropriate during the 5-year period.
State plan requirements
In order to be approved by the Secretary under this section, a State plan shall meet each of the following requirements:
State Council
The plan shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a Council in accordance with section
15025 of this title and describe the membership of such Council.
Comprehensive review and analysis
The plan shall describe the results of a comprehensive review and analysis of the extent to which services, supports, and other assistance are available to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, and the extent of unmet needs for services, supports, and other assistance for those individuals and their families, in the State. The results of the comprehensive review and analysis shall include—
a description of the services, supports, and other assistance being provided to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families under other federally assisted State programs, plans, and policies under which the State operates and in which individuals with developmental disabilities are or may be eligible to participate, including particularly programs relating to the areas of emphasis, including—
medical assistance, maternal and child health care, services for children with special health care needs, children's mental health services, comprehensive health and mental health services, and institutional care options;
a description of the extent to which agencies operating such other federally assisted State programs, including activities authorized under section
3003 or
3004 of title
29, pursue interagency initiatives to improve and enhance community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance for individuals with developmental disabilities;
an analysis of the extent to which community services and opportunities related to the areas of emphasis directly benefit individuals with developmental disabilities, especially with regard to their ability to access and use services provided in their communities, to participate in opportunities, activities, and events offered in their communities, and to contribute to community life, identifying particularly—
the degree of support for individuals with developmental disabilities that are attributable to either physical impairment, mental impairment, or a combination of physical and mental impairments;
criteria for eligibility for services, including specialized services and special adaptation of generic services provided by agencies within the State, that may exclude individuals with developmental disabilities from receiving services described in this clause;
the barriers that impede full participation of members of unserved and underserved groups of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families;
the availability of assistive technology, assistive technology services, or rehabilitation technology, or information about assistive technology, assistive technology services, or rehabilitation technology to individuals with developmental disabilities;
the numbers of individuals with developmental disabilities on waiting lists for services described in this subparagraph;
a description of the adequacy of current resources and projected availability of future resources to fund services described in this subparagraph;
a description of the adequacy of health care and other services, supports, and assistance that individuals with developmental disabilities who are in facilities receive (based in part on each independent review (pursuant to section
(a)(30)(C) of this title) of an Intermediate Care Facility (Mental Retardation) within the State, which the State shall provide to the Council not later than 30 days after the availability of the review); and
to the extent that information is available, a description of the adequacy of health care and other services, supports, and assistance that individuals with developmental disabilities who are served through home and community-based waivers (authorized under section
(c) of this title) receive;
Plan goals
The plan shall focus on Council efforts to bring about the purpose of this part, by—
specifying 5-year goals, as developed through data driven strategic planning, for advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change related to the areas of emphasis, to be undertaken by the Council, that—
are derived from the unmet needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families identified under paragraph (3); and
include a goal, for each year of the grant, to—
establish or strengthen a program for the direct funding of a State self-advocacy organization led by individuals with developmental disabilities;
In general
The plan shall contain or be supported by assurances and information described in subparagraphs (B) through (N) that are satisfactory to the Secretary.
Use of funds
With respect to the funds paid to the State under section
15022 of this title, the plan shall provide assurances that—
not less than 70 percent of such funds will be expended for activities related to the goals described in paragraph (4);
such funds will contribute to the achievement of the purpose of this part in various political subdivisions of the State;
such funds will be used to supplement, and not supplant, the non-Federal funds that would otherwise be made available for the purposes for which the funds paid under section
15022 of this title are provided;
such funds will be used to complement and augment rather than duplicate or replace services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families who are eligible for Federal assistance under other State programs;
at the request of any State, a portion of such funds provided to such State under this part for any fiscal year shall be available to pay up to 1/2 (or the entire amount if the Council is the designated State agency) of the expenditures found to be necessary by the Secretary for the proper and efficient exercise of the functions of the designated State agency, except that not more than 5 percent of such funds provided to such State for any fiscal year, or $50,000, whichever is less, shall be made available for total expenditures for such purpose by the designated State agency; and
State financial participation
The plan shall provide assurances that there will be reasonable State financial participation in the cost of carrying out the plan.
Conflict of interest
The plan shall provide an assurance that no member of such Council will cast a vote on any matter that would provide direct financial benefit to the member or otherwise give the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Urban and rural poverty areas
The plan shall provide assurances that special financial and technical assistance will be given to organizations that provide community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities who live in areas designated as urban or rural poverty areas.
Program accessibility standards
The plan shall provide assurances that programs, projects, and activities funded under the plan, and the buildings in which such programs, projects, and activities are operated, will meet standards prescribed by the Secretary in regulations and all applicable Federal and State accessibility standards, including accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), section
794d of title
29, and the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.).
Individualized services
The plan shall provide assurances that any direct services provided to individuals with developmental disabilities and funded under the plan will be provided in an individualized manner, consistent with the unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, and capabilities of such individual.
Human rights
The plan shall provide assurances that the human rights of the individuals with developmental disabilities (especially individuals without familial protection) who are receiving services under programs assisted under this part will be protected consistent with section
15009 of this title (relating to rights of individuals with developmental disabilities).
Minority participation
The plan shall provide assurances that the State has taken affirmative steps to assure that participation in programs funded under this part is geographically representative of the State, and reflects the diversity of the State with respect to race and ethnicity.
Employee protections
The plan shall provide assurances that fair and equitable arrangements (as determined by the Secretary after consultation with the Secretary of Labor) will be provided to protect the interests of employees affected by actions taken under the plan to provide community living activities, including arrangements designed to preserve employee rights and benefits and provide training and retraining of such employees where necessary, and arrangements under which maximum efforts will be made to guarantee the employment of such employees.

The plan shall provide assurances that the staff and other personnel of the Council, while working for the Council, will be responsible solely for assisting the Council in carrying out the duties of the Council under this part and will not be assigned duties by the designated State agency, or any other agency, office, or entity of the State.
The plan shall provide assurances that the designated State agency, and any other agency, office, or entity of the State, will not interfere with the advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities, budget, personnel, State plan development, or plan implementation of the Council, except that the designated State agency shall have the authority necessary to carry out the responsibilities described in section
(d)(3) of this title.
Public input and review, submission, and approval
Public input and review
The plan shall be based on public input. The Council shall make the plan available for public review and comment, after providing appropriate and sufficient notice in accessible formats of the opportunity for such review and comment. The Council shall revise the plan to take into account and respond to significant comments.

Plan approval
The Secretary shall approve any State plan and, as appropriate, amendments of such plan that comply with the provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section and this subsection. The Secretary may take final action to disapprove a State plan after providing reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing to the State.

I mentioned this on the Netflix Instant Streaming thread in the past, but wanted to express my unqualified recommendation of a favorite movie again. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a couple of years. It's a Danish film about a new small-town cop. It was distributed by Adam Yauch's awesome Oscilloscope Laboratories.
I'd also love to hear the opinions of others who have seen it. |

Good quality item far cheaper than other make/ brands who charge twice as much
Great computers etc. the only thing i would fault is they advertise you have a program, when it may only be a trial or 1/3 of the proper one. I would easily pay that bit more for the full mackoy.
used to be good but i have found lately fresh items look bad and a lot of "junk" food stuff replacing old items. I think they are more money motivated that quality as before.
I used this company a couple of times. Definately the cheapest , great service and comunication.
George found this review useful
a horrible way of extorting money from those who cannot afford it. this encourages gambling
Great way of looking for old school chums and friends you may have lost contact with.
I use paypal within my business. it's a great way of accepting payment without having to pay rental on bank credit card machines.
Good overall service I had a few problems with sellers and it was quickly sorted out.

The Monday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, when online retailers reportedly experience a surge in purchases.
Example Citations:
Don't look now, but Thanksgiving is bearing down upon us, which you probably know means that the biggest shopping weekend of the year is right around the corner. What you might not know, however, is that the Monday following that weekend, is fast becoming the biggest online shopping day of the year. This year, online retailers plan to help drive Cyber Monday shopping with special promotions and discounts, with deals ranging from free shipping to gifts with purchase to percentages off, according to an eHoliday Mood Study.
Patricia Keefe, "Ready, Set, Shop!," InformationWeek, November 22, 2005
Patricia Keefe, "Ready, Set, Shop!," InformationWeek, November 22, 2005
Experts cite two reasons for the Cyber Monday phenomenon: People are shopping online at work, where they have faster Internet connections, or they're unable to finish their shopping during the Thanksgiving holiday and need a spill-over day.
Sandra Guy, "Cyber Monday gaining ground," Chicago Sun-Times, November 21, 2005
Sandra Guy, "Cyber Monday gaining ground," Chicago Sun-Times, November 21, 2005
Earliest Citation:
Because the world needs another Officially Named shopping day, the people who dreamed up Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving, when retailers hope to turn a profit) have created a nickname for the following Monday.
Hence the catchy Cyber Monday, so called because millions of productive Americans, fresh off a weekend at the mall, are expected to return to work and their high-speed Internet connections on Nov. 28 and spend the day buying what they liked in all those stores.
Though it sounds like slick marketing, Cyber Monday, it turns out, is a legitimate trend. According to Shop.org, a trade group, 77 percent of online retailers reported a substantial sales increase on the Monday after Thanksgiving last year.

I have the rollerball version of this. (an affordable way to try a new scent) I would call this a fruity/floral with more emphasis on the citrus side. I smell grapefruit first and then flowers. This last pretty much all day on me, most citrus scents don't. It is a happy scent, makes me smile when I wear it.

Ace of Aces
Grade: D+
Publisher: Atari (1988)
Reviewed: 1999/9/24
Ace of Aces is part flight simulator and part air combat. Despite its realism and attention to detail, this gameplay remains slow and tedious. Still, the game has plenty of depth. After choosing your mission, you stock your plane with missiles, bombs, and fuel supplies. The main view displays many gauges to indicate your position and status. There are five views to switch between, including a bomb bay that lets you see directly below the plane. Animation during dogfights is choppy, but the control is reasonable. I found myself spending too much time trying to fly in the right direction, switching between the cockpit and map views. Once a target is in range, the radar makes it pretty easy to locate and destroy it. People with enough patience to master the controls will enjoy Ace of Aces, but most will consider it a dull affair. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

This hard-to-find title is probably the best light gun game available for the Atari 7800. Your mission is to shoot aliens and brainwashed soldiers while protecting civilians. Alien Brigade controls well, and you can easily select your weapons (including grenades) by shooting boxes on the top of the screen. Stages include a training camp, a river resort, underwater, and the alien cave base. Each stage has plenty of bad guys running around and the presence of civilians is sure to keep you on your toes. I really enjoy the rapid-fire, bullet-spraying action. There are some really nice animations in this game. Aliens melt when shot. Limbs are blown off of soldiers. Water skiers hold their nose before falling into the water. You'll even see water-skiing aliens! My complaints are very minor. There is some slowdown when many objects are on the screen. Also, aliens don't bunch up enough to make grenades particularly useful. Alien Brigade is a nice addition to your Atari 7800 collection - if you can find it. It took me over a year to acquire a good copy. © Copyright 2001 The Video Game Critic.

The ill-fated Atari 7800 system did not have many original titles, but it did provide some definitive versions of classic arcade games. This outstanding version of Asteroids ranks second-to-none, with enhanced graphics and fantastic
two-player simultaneous modes
. Like the original Asteroids, this version is relentlessly challenging and madly addictive. The action is a bit faster than the arcade game, and your cannon seems to have slightly better range. The colorful, rotating asteroids appear to have depth, and you can even see their craters. The UFOs are similarly detailed. In addition to the four skill levels, you can play some intense two-player simultaneous competitive OR cooperative modes. These alone are worth the price of admission. Asteroids should be standard issue for all Atari 7800 owners. © Copyright 2004 The Video Game Critic.

This game was revolutionary when it first came out (on 8 bit computers) in the mid-80s. Ballblazer, a futuristic one-on-one split screen soccer-style game, was the first video game to let you play another human opponent from a first-person perspective. You move a small "rotofoil" around the 3D field, attempting to grab a floating ball and shoot it through moving goal posts. When your opponent has possession, you can knock it loose. The game is totally original and has an incredibly catchy theme song. If you prefer to play against the cpu, there are nine skill levels and the AI is impressive. The limited visibility and simplistic gameplay may wear thin after a while, but Ballblazer stands the test of time. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

Seasonal autumn fun
This has got to be the worst of the Atari 7800 light gun games. It's entirely too easy and repetitive. It looks promising at first, with good control and a variety of screens (barnyard, cornfield, barn, bonus). But when the screens start to cycle, boredom sets in. This game should have included a difficulty option. The bonus screen has an old man throwing bottles across the screen, and all you need to do is shoot in the same spot for about 5 minutes.

Centipede may be the most addictive shooter ever created, and this stellar 7800 version pulls out all the stops. We're talking
fun here. Not only does this wonderful translation feature the same beautiful graphics, sounds, and adrenaline-soaked gameplay as the arcade, but it includes
two-player simultaneous modes
! That's right, now you and a friend can either compete for score, or join forces in the mother of all exterminations. If you don't love that, you need to have your head examined. The visuals are faithful to the arcade except for the four-legged spider (who appears to be holding maracas) and the white border. The animation is super smooth and the mushrooms have a nice 3D appearance. The Atari 2600 trak-ball works okay, but a good joystick provides the best control. Centipede's gameplay is as challenging as ever, and four skill levels are included. Like Asteroids for the 7800, this may be the definitive home version of an arcade classic. © Copyright 2006 The Video Game Critic.

I've always admired this innovative combat/rescue side-scroller, which is far more involved than your garden-variety shooter. This Atari 7800 version is substantially better than the one I played on my Atari XL computer as a kid. UN diplomats have been taken hostage in a hostile country, and you must fly a chopper in and out of enemy territory to save them. While the country is never identified, the barren desert and Arabian architecture suggests the Middle East. Getting the hostages to safety won't be easy. As you fly over enemy lines, you're greeted with roving tanks, jets, and guided missiles. You actually need to blast open enemy strongholds to release the hostages, and then land on the ground long enough for them to climb aboard. The longer you're on the ground, the more vulnerable you are to roving tanks. The hostages are all black guys, probably because pasty white people would have blended into the desert sand. Choplifter can be a bit cheap at times, with tanks and jets tend that appear without warning, giving you little (if any) time to react. Should you return to headquarters in one piece, the hostages exit the chopper and you score one point for each. Yeah, the scores tend to be pretty low, with anything over 50 considered pretty impressive. As for the graphics, the vehicles are large and detailed, and I like how the helicopter tilts realistically as you fly forward. The American headquarters looks more like a little schoolhouse, but the landing pad and that large fluttering flag look nice. There's only one skill level, which I would describe as "moderate". With appealing visuals, an intriguing premise, and intense gameplay, Choplifter is ideal for arcade fans looking for a bit more substance. © Copyright 2007 The Video Game Critic.

This is easily one of the most exciting, action-packed games you're going to find for the Atari 7800. The gameplay is similar to Rambo or Ikari Warriors, where you move through vertically scrolling territory while shooting soldiers and tossing grenades into bunkers. You can shoot at eight different angles, but enemies always tend to hang out in hard-to-reach spots. Grenades can only be thrown forward, but they are effective. Instead of blood, enemy soldiers are splashed with yellow when hit, which looks dumb and makes no sense. The graphics are pretty dull overall, but what makes Commando fun is the non-stop action. There are plenty of soldiers on the screen at any given time, and thankfully their bullets travel only slightly faster than they run. While you're dodging bullets I recommend shooting like a madman. The action really heats up when you find the automatic weapon, which lets you spray bullets by holding the fire button - very cool. My main complaint is the lack of a two-player simultaneous mode. Another problem I encountered is not really the game's fault, but the lousy Atari 7800 controller. Playing this game absolutely KILLED my hand - I mean, I was literally in pain by the time it was done. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for some kick-ass shooting action on the 7800. © Copyright 2003 The Video Game Critic.

Crack'ed is a strange game with a poorly-designed control scheme. Your job is to protect eggs in nests scattered around the screen. You shoot advancing predators using a cross-hair to aim. If an egg is taken, you can shoot the predator before it gets off the screen and save the egg by catching it. The problem is, this is a light gun game with no light gun support. You have to move the jerky cursor with the joystick, and it's aggravating as hell. It's too bad, because there are some nice-looking screens including a haunted house and an underwater level. Predators include birds, mice, fish, and even ghosts. There's even a tough bonus stage where you throw eggs at a rooster. Unfortunately, the poor control undermines the gameplay. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

Atari light gun games aren't usually anything to write home about, but this one isn't half bad. In Crossbow you protect your friends as they wander across the screen by destroying various projectiles which approach them. There are numerous other harmless objects you can shoot for bonus points. The difficulty is fair, and the light gun is pretty accurate. The screens have medieval themes including castles, bridges, deserts, and volcanoes. The scenery has plenty of detail and animation, but due to the limited number of colors it can be difficult to see certain objects. You can choose the order in which you play the stages, which raises the replay value. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

Dark Chambers is much like Gauntlet, only slower and less exciting. The graphics feature detailed characters and large dungeons. Unfortunately, there isn't much variety in the 26 levels; they are all brick labyrinths of rooms and hallways. Your character moves slowly through the scrolling dungeons. The game requires you to do a lot of backtracking which is boring and time-consuming. The left joystick button shoots and the right button allows you to use smart bombs. When you shoot a monster, he transforms into a weaker monster. These monsters aren't particularly aggressive. They look as bored as you do playing this game. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

Desert Falcon
Grade: D-
Publisher: Atari (1987)
Reviewed: 1999/7/10
This Atari exclusive looks like Zaxxon in the desert, with some additional strategic elements. As an arrow-shooting bird, you fly through an Egyptian world of obelisks and pyramids. Symbols on the ground allow you to acquire power-ups. When you pick up three symbols you are awarded with a power-up that can be initiated with the right button. How does this mix of action and strategy work? Not too well, because neither the action nor the strategy is particularly fun. As far as the action goes, it is extremely difficult to judge your altitude with respect to obstacles and enemies, resulting in many unintentional collisions. As for the strategy, stopping to hop around on the ground and pick up the symbols really slows down the game. Accidentally walking into an obstacle causes your bird to keel over! In addition, some powers, such as speed, are more problematic than beneficial. The graphics are well-drawn but the colors are dull. Desert Falcon is a real dud. © Copyright 1999 The Video Game Critic.

Seasonal spring fun
This is a great version of one of the more timeless arcade classics. The star of Dug Dug is a little astronaut-looking guy with an air pump. As he tunnels under the ground, he can defeat his adversaries (including fire-breathing dragons) by pumping them until they pop, or score the big points by dropping boulders on their heads. The biggest thrill is to time your boulder drops to take out multiple baddies at a time. And don't underestimate the value of those bonus vegetables in the center of the screen. Never has eggplant been pursued with such zeal! As is the case with so many well-designed video games, the risk versus reward ratio is perfectly balanced. The characters in this Atari 7800 edition look similar to the arcade (maybe slightly chunkier), and the memorable "banjo" music is perfectly reproduced. The vibrant colors stand in stark contrast from the washed-out look of so many other 7800 games. It's a shame the game doesn't take advantage of all the screen's real estate, instead being "cropped" on both sides. This makes the playing field feel slightly cramped, leaving the player with little room for error. The game offers a generous number of lives (five to begin), but the difficulty level is high. The pace of the game is faster than the arcade, with creatures that are very aggressive from the start. Your score is
displayed when your game ends, so be sure to catch a glimpse before the screen goes black. Dig Dug on the Atari 7800 can't quite measure up to the arcade, but it's still a heck of a lot of fun. © Copyright 2008 The Video Game Critic.

If you enjoyed the Colecovision Donkey Kong you're going to
freak out
over this Atari 7800 edition. It's a remarkably faithful rendition of the arcade hit with all the subtle details and death animations fans crave. The visuals are far more richer and vibrant than on the Colecovision. The first stage incorporates flaming barrels, and while holding the hammer you can also bash barrels on the girder
you. I love how those point values appear right there on the screen. The rivet stage might look easy at first with only one flaming "peep", but it doesn't take long for that thing to multiply. The elevator stage is very forgiving, so don't hesitate to snag those 800-point umbrellas. As in most home versions, the conveyor belt screen is missing, but it's not much of a loss. The controls are responsive, and since only one button is required, you can kick back with your most comfortable Atari 2600 joystick. The sound effects tend to be a little abrasive, but that's not an uncommon complaint for the Atari 7800. The bottom line is that Donkey Kong is easily one of the best titles for the system. © Copyright 2012 The Video Game Critic.

In this interesting sequel Donkey Kong is being held captive and his son must spring to the rescue. Donkey Kong Junior's innovative vine-climbing mechanics are fun and allow for plenty of technique. The graphics are noticeably richer than the Colecovision game and crisp controls let you maneuver with more precision. That's not to say this game is easy. There's very little clearance for leaping over chattering teeth, and even falling a short distance can be fatal. That second stage is absolutely
with all of its moving platforms, egg-dropping birds, and hanging scrotums. It's possible to vault from the trampoline to the moving green platform, but your timing needs to be

Reviewed: 2001/3/13
Compared to the Nintendo version of this classic fighter, this edition is pathetic. It's not surprising that this was made by Activision, who also inflicted so much pain with the Atari 2600 version. The background graphics are dull. The simple, looping music will drive you mad. The fighters look blocky, but at least they don't flicker. There are about six moves, but the controls are not responsive at all, and only the flying kicks are particularly effective. The backgrounds, which were somewhat interactive in the NES version, are plain and static. There aren't even any barrels to pick up and throw. Sure you'll find a few weapons, but the knife looks more like a big cucumber. In the late 80's, when side-scrolling fighters were the rage, the Atari 7800 faithful missed out in a big way. © Copyright 2001 The Video Game Critic.

CUI: Digital PoL modules need no digital bus
The NSM2P is the industry's first self-compensating point-of-load (PoL) dc/dc module family that needs no digital bus communication. The modules allow customers to access many of the same features as a fully digital PoL, with access via header pins that connect to a USB dongle and the digital power GUI. The no-bus module looks like an analog module to the board but offers a header to access the controller, allowing the engineer to set limits for voltage, current, and temperature. During development, the engineer can perform voltage margining and datalogging.
The dc/dc PoL module allows testing and manipulating the desired functions as well as monitoring the results, and setting the desired fault management functions. In production, the engineering header is pulled and the specified parameters are loaded into the module by the manufacturer. The module provides cycle-by-cycle self-compensation, automatically balancing the trade-offs between dynamic performance and system stability. It features 93% efficiency at half load, and has an input range of 4.5 to 14 Vdc and a selectable output range of 0.6 to 3.3 Vdc.

New Program Aims to Cut Troy City Schools' Dropout Rate In 2012, Alabama's graduation rate was 75 percent, according to an Alabama Department of Education report released this summer.
The Troy City School system had a 58 percent graduation rate, making it tied for the third lowest graduation rate in the state. Now district officials hope a new tutoring program could make a difference. It's part of a partnership between Charles Henderson High School and Troy University. "Anything will help at this juncture. We just have to stay focused on what that goal is which is ultimately to have all of our students graduate from Troy City Schools," said Superintendent Lee Hicks. Troy University students like Nick Shannon will tutor CHHS students several times a week. Shannon says he's seen firsthand the risk factors that make some high school students drop out. "Influences like friends who have dropped out, family members who may have never finished high school or just depending on the region they're in or their family background," he said. Shannon says a similar program helped keep him on track in high school, and he wants to make a difference now in the lives of others. "We have to prevent a student from falling behind, because a lot of times when students fall behinds, you know, the motivational level drops, frustration begins, and then they feel it's too far gone, and that's when they feel they'll look at a different option, perhaps just going to work," he said. Educators at Troy University say they hope the new program encourages students to choose the classroom instead. "We're hoping to grow that relationship in the future, as always, and you're right, it is name recognition for Troy University," said Jason Wingate, Program Director. The program will kick off this school year. The program is being paid for, in part, with a $20,000 donation from AT&T. |

Wells, H.G: A Dream of Armageddon and Other Horror Stories. V1. 3 Dec 2012
Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 13 August 1946), better known as H. G. Wells, was an English writer best remembered today for the science fiction novels he published between 1895 and 1901: The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes, and The First Men in the Moon. Wells and Jules Verne are each sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".
He was an outspoken socialist and a pacifist; his later works becoming increasingly political and didactic. His later novels were more realistic; they covered lower middle class life (The History of Mr Polly) and the 'New Woman' and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica). He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary.

I love this twist scarf so much that I am going to buy the neon pink one. I love that you can twist it as tight or loose as you want AND it doesn't move. It also has a cute retro look that I love. I recommend it.

A Dreamy Wedding in St. Helena
To be honest, Laura Kogan (an elementary school teacher) wasn't sure about dating Tyler Knight (owner of a drug and alcohol treatment center). He had no such reservations. "Don't worry," he told her. "Once I'm your boyfriend, I'll be your boyfriend forever."
She trusted him, and on Christmas day three years later, after all of the presents were unwrapped, Tyler announced there was just one more gift. He dropped to his knee and said he still wanted to be together forever, but as husband and wife.
When it came to wedding dresses, Laura was searching for something with what she calls the "sexy princess" look. This gown from Amy Kuschel, with its A-line skirt and fitted bodice, filled the bill perfectly. The couple chose a simple boutonniere that matched the bridal bouquet. The palette—the purples and greens seen on this table card—was inspired by colors found at Meadowood resort in Napa Valley. Laura selected bridesmaids dresses from J. Crew with an uncomplicated form and a deep purple color. For flowers, Laura wanted to mimic the natural beauty of the surroundings. The highly textured arrangements featured not just pink, purple, and green flowers but Napa Valley bounty such as olive branches and artichoke stems.
From the beginning, Tyler was decidedly anti-tuxedo. Instead, he opted for a Prada suit. The bouquet was adorned with a cameo pin that belongs to Laura's grandmother. "She means the world to me, so it was special to have something of hers in my wedding," she says. "The cameo reflects her beauty." The bride gave her bridesmaids brilliantly colored silk fans, which came in handy in the 90–degree heat. Before dinner, the bride spent a moment with her cousins. "They were playing, and I joined them and threw petals in the air," she says. "It added to the happiness of the day. When Tyler proposed, I had no idea what an adventure our wedding would be," says Laura. "It turned out to be the most incredible day of my life."
The walk down the aisle is the bride's favorite memory. Michael Shapiro, a close friend, sang "I Shall Not Walk Alone" by Ben Harper. "As I walked down the aisle, I heard the words, and I knew in my heart I would no longer be alone," she says. The couple's goal was to let Mother Nature provide most of the decorations for the event. "We wanted everything to be subtle and organic," says Laura. "The place is naturally beautiful, and we didn't want to add a lot of pretense." The parasols, provided by Meadowood, were a lifesaver for friends and family in the heat of the Napa Valley summer.
"Everyone said that we had the best food at our reception," says the bride. "We had seasonal and local produce." On the menu: heirloom tomatoes with burrata cheese and halibut in a fresh corn confit. Guests of all ages enjoyed props from the photo booth. The programs were printed on fans, which provided a cool breeze during the early evening ceremony. The bride and her guests cut loose on the dance floor after dinner. The first dance was to Ben Harper's "When She Believes," which includes the words: "Now all of life is just passing the time until once again your eyes look into mine." "When I hear those words, my heart just melts," says Laura. "It has been our song since we met."

Does anyone think that Fred should show a little emotion? I know this has been touched on here and there but I can hardly stand to watch him acting like we're up by 20. Some will say it's not his style but it sure frustrates the heck out of me. Oh well. Go. clones
I would like Fred to go all Fran on the players every now and then.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
It's not just not his coaching style, it's not who he is. He isn't that type of coach. He goes absolutely ape **** on the players in practice, but not on the court. He likes presenting himself to the public in a professional manner.
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
Last year he showed emotion and tapped someone in the chest and then we had his anger management threads lol
I don't think he can with his heart condition.
I have always loved that Fred is NOT Fran and totally goes banana sandwich everytime 1 little thing doesn't go his way but sometimes 20 year-old kids need a good yelling at...
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
Maybe he can't/shouldn't go too crazy due to his pacemaker and heart condition.
Woody...TOUCHDOWN! THEY DID IT!
He also avoids outbursts due to his heart condition. I think with that concern, he just came into the gig having decided that's the attitude he's going to carry for both his health and other reasons.
I would like Fred to sit Korie and Clyburn down for the rest of the game when they play lackadaisical and selfish. We might lose but at least the other players in there would pay with some heart.

I'm on Twitter too: Tre4ISU Or so I have read.
Originally Posted by rhillary I have always loved that Fred is NOT Fran and totally goes banana sandwich everytime 1 little thing doesn't go his way but sometimes 20 year-old kids need a good yelling at... KL and Clyburn need a good kick in the ***.
Fred is being out coached too, how about some press to jump start things? Reign in the 3s some. Push the ball after made baskets. Common Fred, you can't just game plan for the big ones
There are a lot of things to complain about tonight but in my opinion this is definitely not one of them.
I know Fred can't get too worked up, but our guys needed a Larry Eustachy style screaming at tonight. That's the most pathetic effort I've seen Hoiberg's teams put forward.
I would rather the players show us some emotion.

Good eager too see what he comes up with now.
Chris Mathews said:
Thank God. Lynch needs the buisness aspect tha Strange delivers. I wonder what the guidelines are..? I hope to hear that unreleased stuff. REALLY HOPE TO HEAR THE UNRELEASED STUFF. Not just the shock value shit, but the dope lines on baselines shit.
Weezy Bellis said:
In the recent podcast interview I believe he said he wanted to get away from all the cannibalistic shit and rap about other things to show the new fans he can rap about other things. That's probably pretty obvious to most people but I just thought I'd mention it. Also, in the interview he said he'd be Strange for life, even when he's done rapping or if for some reason he's not on the label anymore, he loves being on Strange.
JetblacK said:
When LYNCH ended his set at the Modesto show during Hostile Takeover he said "I WILL ALWAYS BE STRANGE"
I hope he does move away from it. Ive been a Lynch fan for years and own more of his albums than any other artist but Ive been disappointed with all three of his Strange albums. He is capable of so much more than what he put out. These albums have made him drop way down on my list of favorite artists. JetblacK said:
Yup I kinda agree. He has dropped down on the list. His lyrics before were not only catchy but he could tell a story. He wasn't so repetitive. His sound was so much more creative than anything else out. There's a ton of things that are different now. I love to b able to get anything from Lynch. Lord knows he did like 2 albums in a decade before we finally got something. But now that the three album deal is done and introduction as a Strange artist is solidified. I'd like Strange to put a lil more faith in Lynch's music and REALLY/HONASTLY give him the freedom to not just say what he will but create the kind of music he can. I want Brotha Lynch production.
I live in Sac and have been a Lynch fan since I was introduced to his music about 13 years ago but with that said I do kinda feel the trilogy story about the cannibal shit was a little too abitious. I think its dope that he obviously had a vision and to his credit he followed through and made that shit happen. The problem is what you end up with is basically 3 of the same albums content wise just with different beats. The story got kinda old and I figure most people agree wih me in that the overall story isnt really important to me I just want good quality songs to bump dont really give a shit about the story being told in the skits I always fast forward through. At least when he was on his ripgut shit with Season of the Siccness the songs had different themes and told their own individual stories. Eiher way Im ranting but looking forward to some "Loaded" type material with lynch just goin hard on some real dope veats and not being concerned with the cannibalistic story shit
I think I just want gangsta kill'em up weed smokin rap cool mothafucka rap Instead a serial killin emo depressed crazy in the head rap. I went back and listened too One of Us Situation on Dirty West Coast Parlae Went Way Heataz Evidence 2002 Did it and did it Candy wit da Slam Can't Have It Refuce to Lose Four Horseman Head Trauma Razor Blades and Alcohol RU Ready It's Real One a da Last Split Yo Face My Papers Corpse That Came To Dinner Die 1by1
This production is so dope but so simple and clean. Like if DrDre went dark.
And Lynch's Lyrics are so fuckin un dominated. Dude was actually convincing as a gangbangin ass killer. Not an imaginary Psycho killer.. I dunno. All these tracks are from his Loaded Era which sounds completely different from his era with 24Deep/Season of the SiccAnd with those I would go.. XCaliber Rest In Piss Savage Wayz Loc 2 da Brain Treat'm Like Fill'em Up Welcome to your Own Death Had 2Gat Ya Helicopter
I could keep goin on either style but I'm more of a Loaded fan. Either way back in these days both of these styles had alot more to offer than the vocab,production and effort on the Strange releases. And as an example it was like when Eminem did Slim Shady that alot of people liked than Marshall Mathers which everyone loved. And now they're both still dope but that…swag (for lack of a better term) just seems to not be there for some reason.
I love all three of the Strange albums but the Beast seems to be missing. I think Lynh needs to do some roids, hit the weights. And smoke P's and P's a dro and maybe get some old Sac heads together and do a Sac Town bangin ass Lynch album again.
Also the intro's and skits and endings to songs ect were always so dope. They always seem to be original and cohesive with the flavor of the album. In the Strange releases the cinematic skits seem to present and overwhelming, giving a choppy feel to the albums. It's like bright light in my face when with a Lynch album I'm expecting more like…dim lights with my meal at an Italian resteraunt.. If you will.
Two other beats he did that were rumored to be stolen from the EBK4 album and never had anyone rap on them were "Death On A Sunday" and "Bud Ice" I really wish I coulda heard Lynch on these. Oh and one more Lynch production suggestion fir the Loaded era Smurf – 1st Come 1st serve I just couldn't get enough of this sound back in the day. The replay value was unrivaled with this style of beats at the time. Dated now but I'd do anything to hear Lynch produce some shit and spit like a gangsta/shooter again.
This is good news thanks for info !!
Not only LYNCH produciton, I wanna see more PHONK BETA produced LYNCH music too.
Good, can't wait for him to show people who only know his Strange music that he can do so much more and better shit.
I completely agree with you J Costa. I actually made sure not to mention Phonk Beta for the specific reason that everyone credits that "Loaded" production to him. When in fact It was a team effort from Lynch and Beta and if you go back and look at Loaded you'll see that even tho they were on the same flavor with that production that there were songs that thy did separately for the album. And IMO Lynch is actually the better producer. He doesn't seem to get that credit. Lynch produced so many album for not only himself but a ton a shot for other people and it's like he gets no daps for being such a filthy producer. Dude back in the day was like the Babe Ruth of rap. Ruth was one of the games greatest pitchers and actually still hold pitchin records but people only talk about his home runs. Like Lynch, nobody gives him the production credit he's deserved.
But yeah definitely need Beta back in the seen. He's done one song in the three album trilogy and it was the bet song on the fuckin album.

Past news releases
Governor's office media room
CONTACT: Stephanie Smiley, (608) 266-1683
MADISONThe Department of Health Services is seeking input from consumers, community partners, integrated health systems, and providers on the Virtual PACE program. This is the fourth of several town hall meetings on Virtual PACE and will be in Milwaukee on December 1, 2011.
In Wisconsin, approximately 120,000 Medicaid enrollees are also enrolled in Medicare and are known as "dual eligible" members. Currently, the members must navigate a fragmented health care system that limits coordination among health providers and increases costs. The Department is developing a new program, Virtual PACE, a coordinated care system, for Wisconsin's dual eligibles who are eligible for long term care services and who wish to receive their services in community settings. This will be accomplished by fully integrating Medicare and Medicaid services and funds.
The current separation of Medicare and Medicaid payment for services and the lack of access to coordinated care create administrative barriers to the promise of full integration into a community setting, which prevents the best possible member outcomes. The Department's summary of the Virtual PACE demonstration proposal and the grant proposal is available at www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/wipartnership/pace/.
Individuals who are interested in speaking will have up to five minutes to share their ideas at this forum. Those who would like to share their ideas and do not wish to speak are encouraged to submit their written feedback at the meeting or through our online survey at www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/wipartnership/pace/.
Thursday, December 1, 2011
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Tommy G. Thompson Youth Center
Wisconsin State Fair Park
640 South 84th Street
West Allis, Wisconsin
** People needing special accommodations to attend or participate in the meeting should notify the Department of Health Services at 608-266-9622 (TTY 888-701-1250) on or before November 30, 2011.

If you are unemployed, parenting alone or have a disability and are getting certain payments from the Department of Social Protection, you may attend a second-or third-level education course and get the Back to Education Allowance (BTEA). You can work part-time without affecting your BTEA payment.
If you want to do other types of courses not covered under the BTEA, for example, personal development courses or general training courses you can return to education under the Education, Training and Development option, Part-time Education option or the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS).
The Department of Social Protection has published Frequently Asked Questions about the scheme.
From 1 January 2014 all new BTEA participants aged under 26 who were getting a reduced age-related Jobseeker's Allowance payment, will get a maximum BTEA rate of €160 per week (any means participants have will be deducted from this rate).
The Student Grant Scheme is divided into 2 components – maintenance grants and fee grants. You cannot get the Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) and the maintenance component of a student grant together.
Although you are not entitled to the maintenance component of the student grant, you must still submit a student grant application form to be assessed for a fee grant to pay your Student Contribution (formerly called the student services charge), field trip costs and tuition fees (if payable).
If you are getting a One Parent Family Payment or a disability payment (Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension or Illness Benefit) you can choose to stay on your current social welfare payment and apply for a student grant or you can choose to transfer to the BTEA, depending on which option benefits you most. In general, people who are studying full-time are not entitled to Rent Supplement unless they are getting BTEA.
Read more in our document on social welfare payments and student grants.
Two study options are available under the scheme:
All courses must lead to a Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) accreditation (these include FETAC or HETAC awards) or equivalent. You must also progress in educational qualifications. For example, if you already have a Level 5 qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications, the course you attend must be for at least a Level 6 qualification.
You can attend a second-level course of education at any secondary, community, comprehensive or vocational school. The course must be full-time and lead to a certificate recognised by the Department of Education and Skills or approved by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), for example, Junior Certificate, Leaving Certificate, Post Leaving Certificate or a City and Guilds Certificate. An Access or Foundation course is considered to be a second-level course for BTEA purposes.
You can attend any third-level course of education that is approved for the Student Grant Scheme. The course must be a full-time day course.
Undergraduate courses
In general you must be starting your third-level course at year one. However, you may be eligible for BTEA if you:
Postgraduate courses
Only postgraduate courses in Ireland are eligible for the BTEA scheme. You can get the Back to Education Allowance for a postgraduate course of study that leads to a Higher Diploma (H.Dip.) qualification in any discipline or a Graduate Diploma in Education (primary and secondary teaching).
Other types of postgraduate qualifications are not recognised for BTEA. The only exception to this is where a college has admitted a person without a diploma or primary degree to a Master's course on the basis of relevant life experience - in these cases the person may be entitled to BTEA.
You will not get BTEA if you already have a postgraduate qualification.
In general, to qualify for the BTEA you must be over 21 or over 24 for post graduate courses (see also 'Age limits' below) and have been getting a qualifying social welfare payment. You must always have been accepted onto a qualifying course.
For second level courses you must have been getting a qualifying social welfare payment (see above) for at least 3 months (78 days of unemployment*). You must be getting the qualifying paymentimmediately before you start the course.
For third level courses you must have been getting a qualifying social welfare payment (see above) for 9 months (234 days of unemployment*). You must be getting the qualifying payment immediately before you start the course.
*If you are getting a jobseeker's payment, Sunday is not counted as a day of unemployment.
You do not have to have been getting your qualifying payment continuously. Periods spent on other qualifying social welfare payments (or getting credits) that are not broken by more than 12 months (52 weeks) can be used to determine whether you satisfy the qualifying period criteria. You must always be getting a qualifying payment immediately before starting your course.
Time spent on the Back to Education Allowance (BTEA), Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS), full-time FÁS/Failte Ireland training courses, FIT, Community Employment schemes, Part-time Job Incentive scheme, Community Services Programme, Rural Social Scheme, TÚS, the National Internship Scheme, Workplace Placement Scheme (WPP), Back to Work Enterprise Allowance, Short Term Enterprise Allowance, FÁS Job Initiative, Revenue Job Assist and JobBridge may count towards the qualifying period for BTEA purposes. This provision only applies where you have an underlying entitlement to a qualifying social welfare payment immediately before you start your course of study.
Time spent on Youthreach can count towards the qualifying period provided you establish an entitlement to a qualifying social welfare payment before or after completing the Youthreach programme.
Time spent in prison can count towards the qualifying period provided you establish an entitlement to a qualifying social welfare payment.
Time spent on Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA) or on direct provision can count towards the qualifying period for BTEA. This applies only if you establish an entitlement to a qualifying social welfare payment immediately before you start your course of study and satisfy the linking rules (see above).
If you have been awarded statutory redundancy and are entitled to a qualifying social welfare payment immediately before you start the course you can get immediate access to the BTEA without any waiting period. You must take part in the BTEA scheme within one year of getting statutory redundancy and satisfy all the other conditions.
To qualify for the Back to Education Allowance, you must be at least 21 years of age. You must be 24 for a third-level postgraduate course.
However, if you are getting Jobseeker's Allowance, Jobseeker's Benefit or One-Parent Family Payment for the required period(3 months/78 days or 9 months/234 days), are aged between 18 and 20 and have been out of the formal education system for at least 2 years you may qualify.
If you are aged 18 or over (over 24 for the post graduate option) and getting Blind Pension, Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension or Incapacity Supplement for the required period (3 months/78 days or 9 months/234 days) you may qualify.
Unemployment or illness credits
If you are signing on for unemployment credits or submitting medical certificates for illness credits, for the required period of time (either 3 or 9 months depending on your course), you may qualify to participate in the BTEA scheme on a non-payment basis. This means that you do not get a weekly Back to Education Allowance. You continue to be awarded credited contributions while you are taking part in the BTEA scheme.
If you are participating in the BTEA scheme on a non-payment basis, you can also apply for a student grant to be assessed for both the fee and maintenance component of the grant.
If you are the qualified adult of a person who can claim BTEA, you can qualify for BTEA in your own right.
If you qualify for BTEA because you are an adult dependant, your allowance is equivalent to the Increase for a Qualified Adult paid with the social welfare payment your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting. Your spouse or partner keeps his or her entitlement to his or her personal rate of payment. If the circumstances of a couple change, then the total amount paid may be revised. However BTEA participants may do part-time work without affecting their rate of payment.
Both partners can get BTEA while taking an approved course.
You must provide a certificate from the school/college confirming your registration, commencement and attendance at the course. You must supply this information before payment can begin. During the course of the academic year, you may be asked to provide confirmation that you are still taking part in the course.
If you change from a jobseeker's payment to BTEA, you do not need to sign on at your social welfare local office while you are getting BTEA.
People getting a Back Education Allowance are not eligible for Community Employment, Social Economy Programme, Tus, Rural Social Scheme, any other SOLAS (formerly FÁS) or Fáilte Ireland training programmes, Work Placement Programme, JobBridge or Part-time Job Incentive Scheme.
People getting a Back to Education Allowance are not eligible for Family Income Supplement (FIS).
Since 1 January 2013, if you are a new BTEA participant aged over 25 your weekly BTEA rate will be equal to your previous social protection payment (the payment that qualified you for participation in the scheme).
If you are a new participant aged under 25 and you were getting a reduced age-related Jobseeker's Allowance payment, you will get a new personal maximum BTEA rate of €160 (any means you have will be deducted from this rate). You may also qualify for increases for a qualified adult and qualified children (see 'Qualified adult' below). People who were getting a Back to Education Allowance before 1 January 2013 are not affected by the Budget 2013 changes and continue to be paid at the same rate.
The Cost of Education Allowance was discontinued for existing and new participants from 1 January 2013.
You can get your Back to Education Allowance paid directly to your bank account It is paid for the duration of the course. If you were previously getting a jobseeker's payment, you do not get the Back to Education Allowance during the summer period between academic years. Your local social welfare office will contact you in March or April to ask the date of last attendance for the current academic year and you will not be paid BTEA beyond this date. However, you can apply for Jobseeker's Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance if you meet the qualifying conditions. You may get BTEA during the summer if you are on work placement or work experience that is an essential part of your course.
If you defer a year of study you are treated as a new entrant when you return to your course.
Even though your BTEA is not means-tested, any increase for a qualified adult may be means-tested if your spouse or partner has earnings or income in their own right.
If you are coming to the BTEA from Jobseeker's Allowance or Disability Allowance you are paid your personal rate of JA or DA plus a Qualified Adult rate determined by reference to Jobsekeer's Benefit tapered IQA rules. (This means that you qualify for the full Increase for a Qualified Adult if your qualified adult has earnings of under €100, a tapered rate if they earn between €100 and €310 and no increase if they earn more than €310. The disregards that normally apply to earnings in the means test for Jobseeker's Allowance do not apply. However a 'saver' clause operates to prevent a participant being made worse off by this arrangement.)
If you qualify for the Back to Education Allowance, you can keep your entitlement to any secondary benefits you already have, for example, Fuel Allowance, Rent Supplement and Mortgage Interest Supplement. However, any increase in income may affect your entitlement to Rent or Mortgage Interest Supplement or the amount of supplement you get. For example, this can happen if you have additional income from part-time work.
When you are accepted on a course, you should notify the Department of Social Protection by filling in the Back to Education Allowance application form (pdf), which is also available from your social welfare local office.
You must get written confirmation that you are registered as a full-time day student from the college registrar or admission officer. You will not get payment of BTEA until you give this confirmation letter to the Department of Social Protection.
You must apply for BTEA before starting an approved course. A late application will be accepted if there is a good reason for it being late and it is received by the relevant section in the Department within 30 days of the course starting.
Send your application to the section in the Department of Social Protection that deals with your payments – see 'Where to apply' below.
The Back to Education Allowance is a non-statutory scheme. This means that decisions cannot be appealed to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. If you are not satisfied with a decision you may request (in writing) a review by an officer of the relevant social welfare local office or section, enclosing any new evidence in support of the review.
If you are getting a jobseeker's payment, Farm Assist or a One-Parent Family payment (paid by your social welfare local office) you should return your application form to your social welfare local office.

We need all OPSEU members to speak out against the privatization of ServiceOntario. The Ontario government is selling this valuable government service, exposing Ontarians� personal information to fraud and identity theft. The threat is all the more significant if ServiceOntario goes to a U.S. corporation. The U.S. Patriot Act gives the U.S. government the power to order the secret disclosure of personal information held by any U.S. company. Ontario privacy legislation will not protect you, lawyers have advised the union.
Here�s what you can do:
E-mail your MPP now from our website.
Join ServiceOntario members on June 14 for lunch-time events between 11:30 and 1 p.m. outside ServiceOntario work locations. Members will be handing out information cards to the public.
Wear a Fraud Stopper sticker.
Post and distribute our two information cards. 1. Identity Theft ALERT 2. Your Personal Information is AT RISK
To order the information cards and stickers, e-mail Mary-Anne DiAdamo, OPSEU Campaigns Unit, email@example.com

Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth 347 Division Street |
Celebrating the diverse heritage of the Upper Wenatchee Valley. | |||
WELCOME... The home of the Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth is a former bed & breakfast,
the Haus Lorelei, a century old structure built as the Lamb-Davis bungalow and
for many years the home of the Field family, the town banker. The house - now
known as the "River Haus" - and the surrounding acreage comprise Barn Beach
Reserve (BBR). BBR covers approximately eight
acres of view property from the Wenatchee River to the residential area. |
