NBA Labor Deal is Close
"Over the weekend, we told you that much of the framework of the NBA's new Collective Bargaining Agreement is in place. Contract lengths, the luxury tax, and amnesty clause, a mid-level exception and a "stretch" exception are all basically in place. The New York Times called it the deal "95 percent" done. When asked Thursday, David Stern said he knows what the final deal will look like." Good news for fans everywhere. The deal isn't quite finished, but this is the first point in the lockout when it actually feels that the two sides have made some progress. There's still about 4 contentious issues, but this is a good start.

Fly Rod
Reviewer: A viewer from Aspen, CO US
I would recommend these fly rod kits for beginning rod builders because they are relatively inexpensive and durable. They also come with a warranty policy. If you have been fishing awhile, then you will probably notice that casting it is definitely not as smooth and effortless as other reputable rod making companies.
Sweet Little Rod
Reviewer: A viewer from Harrison, ME US
This rod will be my Third one I have built. Worth every penny and hour spent on it. Good looking rod. I have had a lot of comments on just how pretty it looks. Casting is above expectations.
Nice surprise
Reviewer: A viewer from Greensboro, NC US
I purchased the 7'6 4wt two piece as my first build ever. I must say I was pretty skeptical the kit would be pretty low quality, but planned on such as a first kit. I was very surprised at how quality the pieces are. The blanks feel very solid, and have great backbone. I was also very very impressed with the incredible customer service. Very great first build. Will purchase the same kit to build for a friend soon!

Since August 30, 2004 I have documented each day on a four inch by four inch piece of paper. Each one is a record of the corresponding day. There is an image on the front and text on the back. The images and materials very greatly (as each day is different) and relate to significant events, occurrences, observations, people and places form each day. This is a project for me to record as many ideas as I can; there-for this acts as a project and a sketchbook. This is an ongoing project.

About the AuthorAndy Biggs
andybiggs UK
Andy Biggs is an independent photographer based in Lancashire. His photography work focuses primarly on social and environmental issues, looking at changes in the way we live our lives. "How we live our lives and the use we make of the land are both continually changing. They are also inter-linked. The land's primary use had previously been for food production, while our jobs were in factories. Now tourism is the largest industry in the countryside and our jobs are found around service and heritage centre's. The pride we had found in the art of production has now been lost in the need to answer the requests of others."

The ports were all worth visiting and the excursions that we took were reasonably priced. We found the sea day entertainment a bit limited though, unless you were interested in beauty treatments or deck sports (in the North Atlantic in February!!)
Although it had been refurbished in 2011 we thought the Oriana a little bit old-fashioned, but perhaps that reflects her target market.
On the whole, a very enjoyable cruise. It included a visit to Casablanca which was very interesting.

Four people were sent to local hospitals after a driver said he fell asleep at the wheel in Marion County Monday morning.
According to Marion County Sheriff's deputies, the driver of a Geo Metro said he fell asleep at the wheel around 6:30 a.m. on Route 250 near the Katy Market.
The Metro then crossed the center line and struck a Chevy Tahoe, sending both vehicles off of the roadway. The Metro struck a tree. The Tahoe, which was carrying three people, went over an embankment and rolled over.
Deputies said the three people in the Tahoe were transported to United Hospital Center and the driver of the Metro was transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital but none of the injuries seemed life-threatening.
The Marion County Sheriff's Department is continuing their investigation.

District 14 Rep. Richard Baughn (R Lynn) is a member of three house committees: Transportation, Utilities and Infrastructure; Commerce and Small Business and the Tuscaloosa County Legislation. With the house already convened, matters presented before the committees will, in most cases, have to wait until the next legislative session before they are addressed. Nevertheless, the bills brought forth for consideration give the representatives a chance to weigh-in and voice their support or opposition to the proposed legislation.
During a recent Commerce and Small Business Committee meeting, District 82 Rep. Pebblin Warren brought House Bill 554 before the group for consideration, which pertained to allowing the same type of electronic bingo gaming machines used by Porch Indian Casino operators to be used in Macon County establishments.
Though the legislation deals with electronic bingo only in Macon County, Baughn's personal experience in seeing the effect the industry had in Walker County has shaped his opinion on the matter.
"I've seen the machines we're discussing first hand and my estimation, these are slot machines and have nothing to do with the game of bingo they just have a little card in the corner to make it differ from a slot game," Baughn stated. "I've talked to business and citizens in Walker County who suffered because of the bingo halls that were present throughout the area and the effects are still being felt today. I do realize that economically times are still tough, but I don't believe that gambling is the answer to bring in jobs or income to an area."
Throughout the discussion, opponents and proponents stated their own points in the hopes of swaying opinion in their direction — clearing showing that the topic of electronic bingo in Alabama divides many citizens across the state.
Reflecting on the first two years
In between the flurry of committee meetings and talks with fellow legislators on congressional matters, Baughn takes time on Wednesdays to tend to issues and speak to constituents in his district, as well as reflect on his first two years as a state law maker.
Since his election to the House of Representatives, Baughn has helped pass legislation that created over 53,000 new jobs and brought in over 1,100 new business or business expansions to the state — such Walter Energy, a 1.2 billion dollar underground mine expansion in South Walker and Northern Tuscaloosa Counties.
Among other accomplishments that Baughn is proud of is the Alabama Trust Fund Repayment Act, where the legislature is required to repay the 437 million dollars borrowed from the Fund by September 30, 2026.
"I met with some Winston County Republicans before we went into this year's session and told them that one of the bills we wanted to pass was to repay back the money that was transferred from the Fund. I remember that one of the group members has told me she didn't think a law requiring that repayment would ever pass, but in fact it was the first bill that we passed in this session," Baughn said. "I was really proud that we were able to do it as it showed our citizens were setting our goals and making sure they're seen through."
Baughn also enjoys the relationships he has built with his colleagues in the House and the Senate, which has become a welcome addition to his job.
"It's really nice to have someone that you trust and that you can go to discuss with ideas. We support each other and work together as a team," Baughn said. "Naturally I work very closely with Sen. Greg Reed and Rep. Bill Roberts as we all share the goal of serving the citizens of our areas that are inter-connected. I'm great friends with Sen. Paul Bussman, Rep. Ken Johnson and Rep. Mike Millican as well — they're close to my district and what affects us also affects them so we all work hard to make sure the needs of our communities are take care of. I look at it as like being on a ball team — if we don't work together, support and trust each other, we won't move forward and I'm fortunate to have some great people to work with around me."

Food stamps are something Dave Brinegar never expected to collect until his current wife's military job forced their relocation from Missouri to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, just outside Seattle, Washington.
"What makes it hard is that they are supposed to look at their parents and they will take care of everything and handle it. It's very stressful," Brinegar said.
When the former Mexico, MO, police officer had some trouble getting hired onto a West Coast department, Brinegar and his wife agreed they couldn't take care of the six children in their blended family without some extra help.
"Finally the decision was made," Brinegar said. "We've got to do something."
He never expected that hard decision would lead to him discovering food stamp fraud in Missouri and KCTV5 launching an investigation when the state of Missouri failed to fix the issue.
Brinegar's two daughters qualified for assistance from the state of Washington.
"It makes you feel like, 'why can't you do it on your own?'" Brinegar said. "You see everybody else supposedly able to do it on their own. But we couldn't."
Brinegar says the additional $400 monthly benefit provided to his girls did make a difference. The extra money allowed the entire family to stay afloat financially. But hopes sank when a letter arrived from the Washington Department of Social & Health Services announcing the cutoff of services because someone in Missouri was already claiming those same benefits.
According to the letter, "You cannot receive benefits in two states concurrently."
Brinegar described how he felt opening that letter during an interview with KCTV5 investigative reporter, Eric Chaloux.
"When you heard, that had to take the words out of your mouth?" Chaloux asked.
"You ever feel the contraction in your chest?" Brinegar replied, "Where everything... you've been hit in the chest, that you've lost everything?"
Brinegar says the only person who could possibly be claiming those benefits is the girls' mother, his ex-wife still living in mid-Missouri. Besides being told that Washington state officials would report the suspected fraud to Missouri, Brinegar filed his own complaints.
"You went on the Missouri website where you can report fraud, tried it there too?" Chaloux asked.
"Made my third complaint, third email to the fraud place," Brinegar said.
(And) "Zero replies?" Chaloux asked.
"I've heard nothing" Brinegar confirmed.
Unable to clear up this mess in either state, Brinegar gave KCTV5 permission to report the problem to Missouri's Department of Social Services in Jefferson City, the agency that's supposed to track down and stop welfare fraud. In less than 24 hours, the military family in Washington finally heard back from fraud investigators in Missouri.
A response to KCTV5 wasn't so forthcoming. It took two requests for comment before a written statement was sent by a department spokesperson.
According to the communications director for the Missouri Department of Social Services Rebecca L. Woelfel, "State law prohibits release of information specific to a case, individual or an ongoing investigation, so we could not confirm nor deny involvement in a case."
With Missouri officials unable to provide more insight into the case, KCTV5 tracked down Brinegar's ex-wife to ask if she'd been receiving welfare money for two children who no longer live under her roof.
When Carmen pulled up in a blue pickup truck, Chaloux approached the driver's side door.
"Carmen, my name is Eric Chaloux from the CBS channel in Kansas City. I want to talk you about some money you've been receiving from the state. Are you still receiving benefits for these kids?"
"No, we're not," replied Carmen.
"Had you been?" Chaloux said.
"When they were here, yes," responded Carmen.
"But they weren't here for the last couple of years," Chaloux said, "and they say you've been receiving the benefits. "Do you think that's wrong?"
While Chaloux asked his questions, Carmen's new husband Jeff got out of the truck and threatened to assault the reporter.
"Jeff get in the truck. Jeff get in the truck," Carmen demanded.
Jeff headed straight for Chaloux and yelled, "Get the [expletive] off our property. Go."
"We're off your property, on the sidewalk," Chaloux responded.
"I'm going to [expletive] smash you," Jeff shouted. "Get out of here."
"We're on the sidewalk," Chaloux responded to Jeff, then asked Carmen once again, "Do you think that's right you were taking the benefits?"
The confrontation ended with Jeff and Carmen back inside the truck, driving away.
KCTV5 wanted to know more about how the Missouri Department of Social Services generally deals with public assistance fraud. Do officials only investigate tips or do they actively search for fraud through regular audits or other methods? Social services ignored repeated requests for an interview on the topic.
Back at Lewis-McChord, Brinegar is pleased KCTV5 was able to get Missouri's attention – a result he couldn't achieve on his own. And he has some advice for anyone else caught in a similar situation.
"Don't give up. Find other avenues," Brinegar said. "If you are not getting from the agencies that are supposed to protect you, find someone who can help you. Don't be afraid to tell your story."

Peachtree City police have charged two people accused of tricking an elderly man into giving up his home and then selling his belongings. According to police, 51-year-old Ericka Sambrone Porter and 55-year-old William Keith Porter contacted an elderly man living in an assisted living facility. They allegedly convinced him to sign a lease for his home on Hilltop Drive in Peachtree City. The two are accused of then moving into that home and selling some of his possessions. Authorities aren't sure how much stuff the pair stole."One is a very personal item -- like his wedding ring," said Lt. Mark Brown of the Peachtree City Police Department. "Because of his capacity, we are still trying to track down the other items that were sold."Police credit neighbors for noticing something was wrong and notifying authorities.Both are charged with exploitation and intimidation of a disabled elderly person and burglary.

Effingham Daily News
Mount Carmel's Tyra Buss has been climbing the ranks of Illinois High School basketball history for three years.
The junior has 3,411 points in less than three full seasons, and is on pace to shatter the state record for most points in a career, set by Olney's Brittany Johnson (4,031). Buss is currently second on that list.
She's stepped up her game this year, averaging about 39 points per game, which would rank third all-time in state history for a single season.
For all the history Buss has made, Teutopolis has history on its side in Thursday's game against the Lady Aces (32-0) for the Newton sectional championship.
Teutopolis has eliminated Mount Carmel in the sectional tournament in back-to-back seasons, and looks to do it again.
The Shoes held Buss to 32 points as a freshman and just 18 points last year. Specifically, they played the kind of defense last season they've been known for this year, allowing just 32 points to Mount Carmel as a whole.
The matchup sets up some of the age-old narratives of sports; the unstoppable force versus the immovable object, and whether great defense beats great offense or vice versa.
While Buss has been shattering records, the Teutopolis Lady Shoes (24-7) have been breaking opponents with their defensive intensity.
Teutopolis rebounded from a last-second scare against Vandalia in the regional semis with a suffocating defensive effort against Greenville in the regional final. The Shoes downed Greenville 33-12, allowing just four field goals.
Their prowess showed again Tuesday, as they held a good Marshall offense down for long stretches of the game. The Lady Lions scored just two points in the span of 11:30, and were held to just 33 points.
The Shoes will face their greatest defensive test Thursday, however.
Nothing has seemed to slow down the Lady Aces junior - not even dislocating her shoulder.
Buss dislocated the shoulder during the first half of Monday's sectional semifinals against Sullivan. According to reports, she popped the shoulder back into place on her own.
The results? She scored 30 of her 48 points on the night following the injury and subsequent repair.
Her legend keeps growing. Buss has nearly 2,500 followers on her personal Twitter account (@TBuss3) and has a Twitter account solely dedicated to tweeting about her, @TyraBussNews, with nearly 900 followers of its own.
Still, the Shoes aren't backing down.
The current Shoes have some experience defending Buss. Emma Zerrusen picked up the assignment last year, but current junior Cierra Thompson did guard her when Zerrusen got into foul trouble.
Madeline Hartke has also seen extensive playing time both seasons and will play inside to avoid letting Buss inside.
Teutopolis coach Laurie Thompson said they'll be ready to face their familiar foe, but it won't be all about Buss. She has history on her side too, as Buss's 32 points in 2011 marked the only Lady Ace to reach double digits as the Shoes won 63-49.
Last year, they had a body on her at all times and used mostly man-to-man defense, but Thompson said their game plan will have multiple options to shut down Buss.
With the game in hand Tuesday night against Marshall, the T-Town student section erupted into a chant of "We want Tyra!" until the game's final whistle.
They'll get their wish at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Newton.
For the Shoes, the magic number won't be three for the third straight year, or 39, the amount of points per game Buss scores.
They need it to be one, giving Mount Carmel its first loss to have their season to continue.

NEW ORLEANS - In the wake left a month ago by Hurricane Isaac, devastation could be found throughout much of metro New Orleans.
Whether it's LaPlace, Slidell or Braithwaite, the pounding waters of the often stationary storm left deep scars.
Though everyone knows a full recovery will take a long time, progress is being made.
Mike Byrne, the man in charge of FEMA's hurricane recovery operations in the New Orleans area, joined us with a one month status report on the recovery process for Hurricane Isaac.

Colby College currently administers four off-campus study programs in Dijon, Salamanca, St. Petersburg, and East Boothbay, Maine. The program in Dijon is run by a resident director. Colby in Salamanca is run by a resident director and associate director. Colby in St. Petersburg is managed by an on-site director and closely supervised by a Colby faculty from the Department of Russian. The marine science program in Maine is a collaboration with Bigelow Lab for Ocean Science. All programs are overseen by the Office of Off-Campus Study at Colby College.
Colby programs abroad seek to maximize student integration with the host communities. Where feasible, Colby arranges housing with local host families. However, the reality of housing, logistics and cultural practices vary from one site to another. Where homestays are not possible, Colby arranges dorm or apartment style accommodations in accordance with local standards. Only on the junior integrated program with the University of Salamanca are students permitted to seek their own housing, and they are required to live with Spanish students.
Additionally, Colby programs abroad, through the resident directors, arrange a variety of cultural activities during the course of the academic term. These activities generally include regional excursions, attendance at musical or theatrical performances, and dining opportunities.
If your son or daughter is participating in or is interested in one of Colby's programs in please consult the Colby program information.
Please consult theParent Handbook. If you have concerns about safety and security, you can view a variety of documents, including Colby's emergency plan, that will provide information on how we handle situations of potential risk.
In addition to semester-long opportunities, Colby also offers selected Jan-Plan opportunities off-campus each January. All Colby JanPlans, including those abroad, are planned and administered by Academic Departments in conjunction with the Dean of Faculty's Office. Please refer to the respective Department for more information. These classes change each year and are announced during the fall semester.

This Week: TV | Video | Hardcovers | Paperbacks |
Out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week: A reanimated dog, a two-fisted justice-dispenser, four survivors of the end of humanity on a large red ship, and Clark Kent: The College Years.
Frankenweenie (2012)
In one sense it's appropriate that Tim Burton has been around long enough that his early camp-gruesome essays in stylized macabre are now unobjectionable enough to be released by Disney and seen by kids immersed in a glut of cheap horror flicks and a superfluity of vampires, zombies, and vindictive natural disasters. Here Burton walks us though what it's supposed to be about, and the glossy result has the curiously detached feel of a guided tour through Timmy Burton's House of Horrors.
Formats: 3D Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy, Blu-ray.
The story: When young Victor's pet dog Sparky (who stars in Victor's home-made monster movies) is hit by a car, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been.
Starring: Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Winona Ryder.
Directed by: Tim Burton.
Features: Miniatures in Motion: Bringing Frankenweenie to Life (HD, 23 minutes); Frankenweenie Touring Exhibit (HD, 5 minutes); Original Live-Action Frankenweenie Short (HD, 30 minutes); Captain Sparky vs. The Flying Saucers (HD, 2 minutes); Music Video (HD, 4 minutes): The Plain White T's perform "Pet Sematary"; Trailers & Sneak Peeks (HD, 11 minutes).
Red Dwarf: X (2012)
Wow, Red Dwarf, one of the best examples of how humor can be mined from pushing the edges of your own premise, has been around for just shy of 25 years now, and it's been a long, hard road not only for the characters an the long-suffering universe they inhabit, but for the cast and crew as well. (It gives you just a hint of the turbulent tale that the show started in 1988 and we've just had season 10.) The six episodes of this latest incarnation are widely agreed to be funnier than Red Dwarf has been in years, and it seems some thought has been put into removing the schtick that had crept into come of the characterizations (particularly Cat). The series is nicely complemented by the quite long making-of doc, in which writer/director Doug Naylor and the stars talk about the difficulties getting season 10 made and why they wanted to make sure it was made.
Formats: Blu-ray, DVD (2 discs).
The story: The most inept band of space travelers ever to roam the interstellar highway; return with an all-new season of misadventures! The brand new series, written and directed by Doug Naylor, begins with the Dwarfers mining ship still creaking though the wastelands of unchartered deep space, but the posse soon stumbles upon the mysteriously abandoned SS Trojan. As they inspect the ship Rimmer receives an SOS distress call from an old foe and is suddenly faced with the dilemma of his life. Red Dwarf X reunites the much loved original cast of Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat) and Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) and promises to be a huge hit amongst the Sci Fi sitcom's cult following of devoted fans.
Starring: Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn.
Directed by: Doug Naylor.
Features: Documentary: "We're Smegged"; Deleted Scenes; Smeg Ups.
Dredd (2012)
At the end of the day, this serious-minded, wall-to-wall kick-ass version of the Judge Dredd concept seems to exist primarily to prove that you can make a movie adaptation of a cult comic book without countless cancerous compromises. And, as a corollary, that the Stallone version should never, ever have been allowed into theaters.
Formats: 3D Blu-ray, Digital Copy, DVD, Blu-ray.
The story: In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.
Starring: Karl Urban (Judge Dredd), Rachel Wood (Control Operator 1), Andile Mngadi (Passenger), Porteus Xandau Steenkamp (Driver), Jason Cope (Zwirner), Emma Breschi (Hostage), Olivia Thirlby (Anderson), Rakie Ayola (Chief Judge), Lena Headey (Ma-Ma), Tamer Burjaq (Ma-Ma Bodyguard), Warrick Grier (Caleb), Wood Harris (Kay).
Directed by: Pete Travis.
Features: Mega-City Masters: 35 Years of Judge Dredd (HD; 14:27); Day of Chaos: The Visual Effects of Dredd (HD; 15:21); Dredd Featurette (HD; 1:53); Dredd's Gear (HD; 2:31); The 3rd Dimension (HD; 2:00); Welcome to Peachtrees (HD; 2:33); Dredd Motion Comic Prequel (HD: 2:57); Theatrical Trailer (HD; 2:30).
Timekeeper (1998)
Full Moon Studios has turned out a string of forgettable, badly written family features involving kids caught up in tame adventures, and this is one of them.
AKA: Clockmaker.
Formats: DVD.
The story: Three children discover the home of an elderly clock builder holds an amazing secret -- he possesses a collection of clocks that control the past, present, and future of the entire world. When one of the children is mistakenly transported into the past, it's up to the other two to rescue him and prevent the future from going astray.
Starring: Anthony Medwetz, Katie Johnston, Zachary McLemore, Pierrino Mascarino, Daisy Nystul, Tom Gulager, Eugen Cristea, Florin Chiriac, Petre Moraru, Cristian Motiu, Laura Jianu, Marius Galea.
Directed by: Christopher Remy.
Features: None listed.
Superboy: The Complete Second Season (1990)
It's true that The Adventures of Superboy, the silliest entry ever in the sprawling Superman franchise, loses camp hilarity points for its obvious and brutally relentless cheapness, but season 2 of Superboy, finally available after a long delay, does improve considerably on season 1 on several fronts. For one thing, while Gerard Christopher is as so-so a Man (or "Boy," if college students can be reasonably considered boys) of Steel as John Haymes Newton, whom he replaced, Christopher's well-known enthusiasm for the Clark Kent/Superman character is pleasingly palpable in every aspect of his performance, from the comical slump of Clark's shoulders to the way Superboy breezily ignores questions like "Hey, where's Clark?" And Sherman Howard's gleefully mwaa-ha-ha over-the-top turn as the new, giddily insane Lex Luthor (who goes through painful surgeries to age himself and change his face so Superboy won't recognize him, only to blab his real identity to Lana fifteen minutes into his first anti-Superboy caper) is not only miles ahead of the previous season's Lex, but might well be the best thing in the show. Other guest stars this season include George Maharis, Richard Kiel, Keye Luke, Philip Michael Thomas, Ami Dolenz, Gilbert Gottfried, Britt Ekland, and George Lazenby ... as Jor-El!
Formats: DVD (3 discs). Manufactured on demand.
The story: Familiar four-color threats faced by our boy Kal-El include a now follicle challenged Lex Luthor (who makes Lana his bride years before they did it in Smallville), Metallo, Bizarro, Mr. Mxyzptlk and Yellow Peri in this complete 26-Episode, 3-Disc Collection. Not remastered.
Starring: Gerard Christopher, Stacy Haiduk, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, George Chakiris.
Created by: Alexander and Ilya Salkind.
Features: None listed.

Shopping village supports the elderly
12:00pm Friday 23rd November 2012 in News By Debbie Waite
BICESTER Village has given elderly people in the county an early Christmas present – £5,000 to help run 20 Good Neighbour Schemes throughout this winter and the coming year.
Value Retail, the 'landlord' company at Bicester Village, in Pringle Drive, has put aside a chunk of its charity budget for 2013 to help the old and isolated, as part of the Surviving Winter scheme being promoted by the Oxfordshire Community Foundation.
Last year 170 people died in the county in circumstances linked to cold weather.
And according to the foundation, for every person who died, there were dozens more, mainly the elderly, suffering from isolation and hardship.
Now they are encouraging people to give money, or their time as a volunteer, to help.
Miranda Markham, relations director at Bicester Village said: "There is a big appetite for helping others among the staff. People are coming forward already."
Vera Smith, 96, has only been with the scheme for around six weeks but says she greatly enjoys her visits from befriender Anna Simpson.
Mrs Simpson, from Bicester, said: "I really enjoy meeting Vera. My weekly visits are always good fun – we chat, play cards and I help with a few chores."
- People wishing to donate to the Surviving Winter campaign can give online by visiting oxfordshire.org and giving via the Surviving Winter page.
- Please make cheques payable to Oxfordshire Community Foundation, 3 Woodin's Way, Oxford, OX1 1HD Or text: Snow00 (followed by your donation of £1-£10) to 70070 l
- The money will also pay for other expenses necessary for the groups to run, including any transport costs and telephone calls.
- For more details on volunteering for the Bicester Good Neighbour Scheme, call 01869 242808.

A good PR stunt for them though and at least people will benefit from it.

Originally from England, as a young age James was fascinated with storms, and as he grew up, wanted to learn more and more about them.
Eventually at the age of 18, he attended the University of Oklahoma to study meteorology. After OU, James returned to England to study Broadcasting and Photography. Due to a lack of work in England for a couple of years, he decided to move to Oklahoma and get a job chasing for News 9.
James had always admired the News9 weather team for their severe weather reporting - and was especially a big fan of Gary England. He now works as a storm tracker for News 9, and also works as a freelance photographer. Although a Brit, he finds it a pleasure to have the chance to serve the people of Oklahoma during severe weather.

Do you come to CelticsBlog regularly and have never registered a user account? Do you have an account that you rarely if ever use? Then you are what we like to call "lurkers" and I'm calling you out.
Please consider registering a user account and joining in the conversation.
I love the community of this blog. Love it. In fact, one of the most important goals I have every day is to initiate conversation. I know I'm not the best writer ever, so I seldom set out to recite poetry to you or preach at you. I just want to get you all started on a topic and let you enjoy the conversation. So it makes me happy to see that this community is so rich with dynamic and respectful conversation.
But it seems like there are a whole lot more people out there just casually reading. You've probably got some really good insight and/or clever comments that you aren't sharing with the group. I think if you get your feet wet and post a few comments you'll see how easy and fun it is. Give it a shot.
My only request is that you follow one simple baseline rule. Respect each other. Sure, we've come up with dozens of rules and guidelines that stem from that, but at the core that is really all there is. Treat others as you would like to be treated and keep it family friendly and everyone will be happy. Our staff works hard to create an environment that encourages people to share their thoughts without fear of being shouted down, taunted, cursed at or name-called. That's something I'm very proud of (we aren't perfect but we're doing the best we can).
So come on and join the fun. Register an account and use it. After all, we've got the Lakers game tonight. Need I say more? Let's start a comments chant. Beat L.A.!
(Note: I'm going to talk about the Forums, FanPosts, and other topics in future posts)

Julian Louie Has Us At Olé-------
If the tight, high-waisted pants and geometric bolero jackets weren't enough to clue you in, the Spanish guitar coming through the speakers at Julian Louie's presentation on Thursday made the case clear: The
designer found himself in a Catalan state of mind this season. "The matador thing is pretty easy to read, and there's a touch of Velázquez over there," Louie acknowledged, pointing to a pair of his bouffant miniskirts. As he went on to explain, however, the Fall '09 collection sourced material not only from the land of bullfighting but from football players and samurais, too. "I was interested in taking
these masculine activities and perverting them into something elegant and feminine," noted Louie. To wit: the gridiron-esque shoulder pads on a top, which Louie crafted out of rayon woven with enamel-coated wire, or the Swarovski embellishment that created an armorlike effect on a dress. "I didn't want to do masculine/feminine in the usual way," Louie noted. "It felt more interesting to me to invest in the ritualized kind of costume element of these masculine activities, and see where that got me."

This newly-built Timberframe home is on Dyer's Island (accessible by
bridge) about 2 miles from town. It is a reproduction of
an antique cottage and sits on 6 semi-wooded acres with
a beautiful southerly view of Hurricane Sound and Outward Bound's
Hurricane Island. Raspberry bushes line a trail that leads to the

(accessible by staircase), full kitchen, bath with shower, outdoor
shower with hot and cold water, and screened-in porch that faces

Yummy tried this recipe and it came out really well !!
Awesome recipe! Have done these several times on the grill and they are great every time. I followed recipe exactly and they turn out amazing. MMMMMM makes me hungry for more!!
These wings were fun to make and tasted amazing...win,win!
sauce takes a while, but it's really good on chicken breasts
Well I made them, but it was 15 degrees out so I didn't grill:)) I made the sauce and reserved a cup. I poured it on top of my wings in the crockpot. Cooked them till they were done 3 hours or so. Before they started falling off the bone. I took them out draining the liquid and put them on a baking sheet, brushed them w the reserved sauce and baked them on 450 until they got crispy...mmmmm yummy!

1. I think that RT flash control will be incorporated in the 7DmkII (not just 'hoping').
Ok, now I'm really keen to see if I was too doubtful of Canon (who? me?) :->
+1 to the will be incorporated group. It's the next logical step in flash, which by itself says nothing, but adding RF control of flashes to the camera pigeon holes the consumer into buying Canon RF flashes; which at the moment consists of a $600 flash. Win for Canon. They won't care about loss of ST-E3 sales when people are plunking down $2k+ for 7DIIs and a couple more $k for a fleet of flashes.

The countdown for some started before last season ended. For others, it began after MLS Cup, the day of the SuperDraft, or when the schedule was announced.
We're now less than four weeks away from the opening match at FC Dallas on March 2. And, we're even closer to the 2013 home opener against Philadelphia on March 9.
When did you start looking forward to the 2013 season?
Get excited. It's coming up.
The past few days have been a little unnverving for Rapids midfielder Martin Rivero. The 23-year Argentinian suffered a broken bone in his right foot just before the end of the first half of the first preseason game on Tuesday. It was the first broken bone that he's suffered as a professional, and the ensuing surgery was also a first for the second-year playmaker.
But one thing that has kept him positive is the connection he's built with fans through his twitter handle. Rivero has chronicled and given fans - in Spanish and English - a unique behind the scenes perspective of his week, starting prior to the match, as he returned to Denver, on the surgery table, and afterwards. See below:

Well, Colorado fans, if you didn't realize it then, you know now that when you attended the U.S. Women's National Team match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in September, you were in the presence of greatness.
On Monday, FIFA announced that former USWNT coach Pia Sundhage was named the FIFA Women's Coach of the Year, and USWNT forward Abby Wambach became the first U.S. women since 2002 to be named Best Female Soccer player in the world (pictured above celebrating her goal at DSGP in a 6-2 win over Australia). That capped off a tremondous year for the U.S. ladies, who had won the 2012 Olympic gold medal.
Fans of the women's 2012 know already knew that Pia was known to break out in song, as she did before her last game as coach on that night in Colorado. So it was fitting that she thanked her staff, and sang one last time to her players when she accepted the award:
A few months ago we told you about Rapids Academy midfielder Bryan Windsor's trip to Barcelona, where he got to train at Barcelona's La Masia facility and receive first-hand instructions from the same youth coaching system that developed the world-player of the year, Lionel Messi, among others.
On Sunday, CBS's famed-program, 60 Minutes, profiled the story of Barcelona FC, giving arguably the best club soccer team in the world - in this era - a huge platform to be seen by millions of people in the United States. There's a lot of good stuff here, give yourself 15 minutes and watch it:
Anyone that googled the name "Diego Calderon" over the past few weeks likely saw the rumors that he was coming to Colorado. On Thursday the paper work was finalized and the Rapids made his signing official.
By winning South America's Copa Libertadores (equivelant to the UEFA Champions League) with Liga, he also got to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, where his side lost in the final to Manchester United. I don't know how many Rapids fans follow the Ecuadorian league, but I think some may recognize the names on Man U's team from that game. (FIFA.COM)
Below are a few videos of Calderon that I found online. The first shows a diving header for a goal that he scored last year for Liga (Pid Army, BSG, Class VI will be impressed by crowd). Next is a sit-down interview with a sports outlet - in Spanish - where he discussed the lessons he's learned, especially from an error he committed in the Copa Suruga Bank final (which features the Copa Libertadores winner and Japan's J-League winner). And the last is the longest, a 13 minute 'highlight' reel of his defensive plays.
It's nearly impossible to tune out the Denver Broncos buzz, especially when "PFM," as Broncos fans and covering media have appointed Peyton Manning, is leading the team to the playoffs. And I suspect many Colorado Rapids fans are also Broncos fans, or least enjoy the local sports teams' successes, and are also optimistic for the Broncos' playoff hopes.
But for many Rapids fans, "PFM" was already in town quite a few years before the future hall-of-fame quarterback came to the Rocky Mountains. That's our own Pablo 'Freaking' Mastroeni.
As I thought more about the two local pros and their impact on their respective teams, I came across a few more similarities than the PFM acronyms, their 36-years of age (Peyton is five months older than Pablo), or that both of their team's missed the playoffs in the same year the respective superstar was forced to sit out with head / neck injuries.
Here are some I came across...post in the comments if you think of others.
Mastroeni began his professional career in 1998.
Manning began his professional career in 1998.
Mastroeni has one League championship - the 2010 MLS Cup.
Manning has one League championsip - the 2007 NFL Superbowl
Mastroeni was the first overall pick in the 2001 MLS Allocation Draft
Manning was the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft.
Mastroeni was named an MLS All-Star in 9 consecutive years
Manning was named an NFL Pro Bowler (all-star) in 9 consecutive years
Mastroeni's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Nov)
Manning's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Feb)
Mastroeni was the 2012 Team Humanitarian of the Year, nominated for MLS award
Manning won the 2005 NFL Humanitarian Award
Mastroeni has played in at least 14 games for his team in 14 different seasons
Manning will play at least his 14th game for his team in his 14th different seasons (Dec. 16, 2012)
Mastroeni has 65 international caps and played in two FIFA World Cups
Manning has won four NFL MVP honors
Mastroeni missed nearly all of 2012 with concussion symptoms before announcing he's coming back for Major League Soccer's 18th season in 2013...
Manning, who brought back the retired #18, missed all of 2011 with a neck injury before returning this year to lead the Broncos back to the NFL playoffs...(and TBD)
Next month, Broncos fans will be pulling for Peyton to advance past the first round of the playoffs for the 5th time in his career. When Pablo advance past the first round for his fifth time, in 2010, he advanced all the way to the Cup...
The debate of who is the best soccer player of all-time usually brings quite a few opinions. But for me, it's easy. It's Lionel Messi.
See, I never had a chance to watch Pele, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Franz Beckhenbaur, or Johan Cryuf play - at least not live or at an age where I could remember how good they were. Of course I've seen video highlights, and, like others, can't help but be impressed.
With today's technology we can watch pretty much watch every game in the world, club and international. I did watch Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Zinadine Zidane, and other stars the more modern era play, and until recently, Diego was the best I'd seen. I've also been lucky to watch Messi and Christian Ronaldo play in person. And while Cristiano is awesome, given one choice, I take Leo.
Last Sunday Messi scored his 86th goal of the calendar year to pass Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record for most in a calendar year. Mueller scored 85 for Bayern Munich and West Germany. Leo scored 74 in 57 games for Barca (still has three games left in 2012) and 12 in 9 games for Argentina. Here are some more Messi stats and all 86 goals from 2012:
It might not be quite fair to appoint 2012 as the "Year of the Soccer Bar" in Denver, but it's definitely a year in which these establishments have stood out. And now there's word of another bar about to open.
In the downtown Denver area, soccer fans have been regulars at The British Bulldog, The Three Lions, and the Celtic Tavern, and other locations like Fado or GB's have also welcomed fans of the beautiful game.
The latest soccer bar, The Armoury (Arsenal fans will like the background of the name), is shooting to open in the ballpark neightborhood on New Years Eve at 2048 Larimer Street. There's also already talk that they, too, hope to one day bus fans to Rapids games at Dick's Sporting Goods Park as the other pubs did this past year.
Here's the link to story on the new place, from The Westword.
Nicknames are fairly common among soccer players.
We've heard of Lionel 'la Pulga' Messi, Carlos 'el Pescado' Ruiz, and even our own Jeff "the Ginger Ninja" Larentowicz and Luis "el Morumbi" Zapata.
And today I heard a nickname that I think will stick with Colorado Rapids fans.
During Wednesday morning's training session I heard Stew Ceus call for the ball by raising his arm and shouting "Patrón, Patrón." That's the spanish word for "Boss," or a figure of that nature.
Hendry Thomas looked up, saw Ceus, and delivered the ball.
And there he was: The Boss, El Patrón!
Afterwards I asked Hendry how that name came about. He explained that in Honduras he was often called "El Doctór," because of his use of glasses. But this time, he said it was the Colombian duo of Zapata and Jaime Castrillon that started calling him that, and then many of the English speaking players and even some of coaching staff followed.
"I thought it was funny," Hendry told me, laughing about it. "It was funny but I still had to ask them why they gave me that name and why it has stuck."
Zapata clarified.
"We named him that because whenever he talks, everybody listens. He's is el patrón, the boss."
I'm thinking his dominating play may also have something to do with this name...
A few months ago MLSsoccer.com came across and vintage footage featuring Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo when he played for the team, um, taking a fall after scoring a goal. SEE IT HERE
Last week we came across different types of old-school videa...commercials from the early years.
The first was discover on a tweet by TheOffsideRules, featuring Uruguayan midfielder Adrian Paz. We'll post a few others in the coming days, featuring Bravo and Marcelo Balboa.

What Lasts
Classical music concerts are one of my favorite places to think. It sounds weird, but classical music provides just enough stimulation to keep me from becoming distracted, but not enough stimulation to impact my thinking processes. I love being able to drift from absorbing and enjoying the music to going deep in thought without really even noticing.
My violin teacher (who's great, by the way, in case you're in SF and want to learn Violin) brought me to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music last week and told me that they had free concerts by the students all the time. Perfect. Despite really enjoying the music, I'm way too ignorant to be able to tell the difference between a good student and a professional symphony player, so these shows are really a great opportunity.
On Monday I went to Matthew Linaman's (http://www.youtube.com/user/cellolinaman) cello recital at the conservatory. Have you ever noticed that people often won't take front row seats if they haven't paid for a ticket? I've noticed this at a lot of talks and smaller concerts like this. Anyway, the point is that I got to sit in the very middle of the front, and this was a small enough hall that this seat was the best seat. Most of the front row seats remained empty.
Beyond his playing (which was fantastic, by the way), I kept thinking about his Cello, Cellos in general, and stringed instruments in general. Cellos last. They get better. The craftsmanship on a good Cello, probably even an okay cello, is remarkable. I have a violin that my sister gave me, and I find myself marveling at the curves of the wood, the perfect symmetry, and the invisible joints holding it all together. It's amazing, really.
I also thought about the music. Bach wrote the Cello Suite that Matthew played almost three hundred years ago. He could never imagine that some blogger in a motorcycle jacket would be listening to someone play his music on a beautiful stage in downtown San Francisco. If he could see this scene, how proud would he be?
The longevity that both the instrument and the music composed for it have is interesting. It made me think about what we produce today, and whether or not any of it has that sort of longevity. It seems like most things we create now are ephemeral. My laptop is an amazing achievement of technology and design, but it will be useless in a few years. My motorcycle is beautiful and fast, but in a few hundred years it will probably be slow and ugly. Even the most amazing things I have today have an expiration date.
I thought about my books. My pickup book won't be relevant in a hundred years. Customs change. My traveling book will be obsolete. Living in an RV will probably be a thing of the past, too.
Most of the music that we create now will be dated, I think. It might be listened to for novelty, but I don't think it will have the sticking power that classical music has. Maybe I'm wrong, but as much as I love Rick Ross, I doubt anyone will listen to him in a hundred years.
What then, I wondered, would actually survive a few hundred years? Is there anything?
I followed various lines of thought, every time coming to the conclusion that, no, whatever I was thinking about would probably have disappeared within a few hundred years. Almost ready to concede that we were creating disposable culture, I finally came up with something that we create now that will remain hundreds of years in the future.
We're now a society of ideas. Ideas that we create now will spread through future generations and make it to the generations of our great great great great great grandchildren. They won't be exactly the same as they are now, of course, but neither is music or the instruments it's played on. A Stradivarius violin gets better in time (because of the varnish used, some scientists think), but it might also get knicked and scratched, too. So it's better and it's worse. Mostly better. I think ideas will transfer in that same way, as they play a game of telephone through the generations.
Ideas have alway transferred through time, of course, but things are different now. The internet has created a way to spread ideas virally, which is pretty much unprecedented. Anyone, not just someone with distribution, can be a thinker. We have permanent storage now with perfect fidelity, ensuring that any idea worth remembering will be remembered.
What does this all mean in practical terms? I think that it means that if you want to contribute to society in a permanent way, to leave your mark, even if no one actually knows your're the one who left it, you have to think and share your thoughts. Blogs are a pretty good way to do that.
Photo is some friends on an awesome van roofdeck.
We just migrated SETT to Twitter Bootstrap, which is why certain things are a little bit wonky (like the reply box being tiny). We're on it... should be fixed early next week.
If you have a Rialta and are in SF, message me. I have a present for the first Rialta owner who gets in touch.

The Elmore Method
|« Go Back
Customer Reviews for The Elmore Method:
August 3, 2014
Sarah B
This book was published in 1991, and is supposed to save you time and money. I have found some of the stitches in online tutorials, but I don't see how they save time or money on yarn. I have been crocheting for 48 years, and plan to keep on with the typical stitches and tried-and-true old methods out there.
July 29, 2014
Darlene T
This item should come with a warning that he uses the pencil grip as opposed to the knife grip. He also uses an old fashioned method of holding the yarn. In addition he uses his own terminology instead of common terms, which may cause a lot of confusion. I agree more pictures of the stitches would help, especially with his using of his own terms. I do like his granny square corners using the Tower Pattern and piggyback stitches.
July 12, 2014
Sheila M
I haven't actually tried to work with this yet, but in reply to other reviews...
You can find videos demonstrating this method of starting a project, using modern terms. It's usually called "foundation single crochet".
The "Elmore stitches" are, I believe, what we call "extended stitches". There should be videos out there on these as well. Basically, once you've drawn up a loop, you work that one loop off the hook first, and then complete the stitch as usual. It gives a slightly taller stitch ... good for those of us who have trouble making row gauge. So for an "Elmore single", you would insert your hook in the work, draw up a loop, yarn over, draw through one loop on hook, yarn over, draw through both loops on hook. For the other "Elmore stitches", you yarn over first (however many times needed for height), draw up a loop, work off *one* loop, then work the stitch as normal.
Hope this helps.

I really wish I could give this book a knowledgeable star rating, but I find it absolutely impossible to understand what on earth the stitch instructions are trying to say. I have read and re-read and re-read over and over and over, and cannot understand how to make these new Elmore stitches. I think if I could just see a video on how to make the single Elmore, I could then decipher the halfs and doubles and triples. But try as I might, I can't find a video anywhere.
Very frustrating indeed.

I am not impressed. The author uses totally different terms for crochet and not enough instructions are given for the foundation row which is the basis for the rest of the projects.
From here you can:

Poor Carra
Sick for Carragher to end to his European exploits like that, been a modern-day Colossus for #LFC
Special atmosphere
Proud to be a Red. So close. Magic Anfield
Sums it up well
A brave try from the Reds but too much to do in the end. All or nothing in the league now
Fans cheering until the end
Great chanting from the Anfield crowd as they realise that their players gave it their all on the night. Sadly the first leg performance undid them and they are out of the competition
FT - Liverpool 3-1 Zenit (Zenit win on aggregate)
That early away goal from Hulk proved the difference on the night
Playing for time
Zenit keeping hold of the ball in Liverpool's half, but it looks like the glaring misses from the first leg chiefly at the feet of Luis Suarez looks like costing them here tonight
Three minutes of injury time
Liverpool putting everyone up now
