Fears over parking fee at East Lancashire beauty spots
6:00pm Tuesday 8th July 2014 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
PROPOSALS by county council bosses to introduce new car parking charges at two beauty spots in East Lancashire have sparked controversy.
Councillors are being asked to approve pay and display sites at Wycoller Country Park, near Colne, and Springwood Picnic Site, near Whalley, and a third location at Conder Green in Lancaster.
An extra £18,300 would be recouped for the authority's coffers each year, it is estimated, from the three car parks, helping to offset the £134,000 running costs for the country parks.
But Coun Paul White, who represents Pendle East, believes the move will be 'terrible' for the rural economy and could drive away visitors.
He said: "We have a long record of keeping car parking free in Pendle and we are not going to stand for someone coming in and imposing car parking charges on us."
He is also concerned that, with no proposals to provide extra security, the move will prove unpopular with motorists and countryside users. County council environment director Jo Turton has outlined plans to install six pay and display machines, at the three sites, leaving a £32,000 bill.
Rangers would then be asked to deal with maintenance issues such as replacement ticket and coin and ticket jams. The standard charge per visit would be £1 and a season ticket of £50 has been discussed for regular users.
It has been acknowledged that there could be some 'displacement' parking, caused by drivers trying to avoid the fees, especially at Wycoller.
But the Springwood site can only be reached directly off the nearby bypass.
Similar charges have been introduced at Beacon Fell Country Park, in Wyre, and the Crook O'Lune picnic area, in Lancas ter.

They don't want us parking on the grass or on a dirt road, so they force us to use a car park.
Next, they want to charge us for using the car-park.
Coming soon - a congestion zone type fee for using places like the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
All these town and county hall pen-pushers are parasites. They have no concept of wealth creation - all they know how to do is stick out their hands and demand money from taxpayers.

I know people have said it's our tax and we are now paying for it twice but it's better to pay for it twice and visit than all the people who are paying for this once and never bother to visit. They are the ones losing out the most!
I know this will get negative votes but this is the LT, a place where people get angry over the smallest of things and where the unemployed can put more effort in to complaining about the world than looking for a job :)

I don't know why Cllr Paul White is feigning anger. You already pay to park in Pendle at Barley car park. I don't see him kicking up a fuss about that. Ahh wait a minute - that could be it's because the Tory Parish Council impose the charge.. Petty politics.

It's hard to believe that at one time Lance Foor didn't even like playing basketball. Now, the 6-foot-3 forward at Paulding High School is one of the team leaders. In a recent game against county foe Antwerp, the confident shooter scored 11 points while connecting on two deep 3-pointers from the corner.
"I started playing when I was in the fourth grade, but I didn't like it that much. My friends were playing and so I just joined in and started playing. I really liked football better but basketball became my number one sport in middle school," said Foor.

You've heard of Zen. You may have had moments of Zen. But what the bleep is Zen?
The popular idea of Zen is that it's, like, Japanese Dada, with kung fu monks. I regret that the popular idea is a tad romanticized.
The nerdy answer to the question What is Zen? is that Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that emerged in China about 15 centuries ago. In China it is called "Ch'an" Buddhism. Ch'an is the Chinese rendering of the Sanskrit word dhyana, which refers to a mind absorbed in meditation. "Zen" is the Japanese rendering of Ch'an. Zen is called "Thien" in Vietnam and "Seon" in Korea. In any language, the name could be translated "Meditation Buddhism."
Here I want to provide a bare-bones introduction to Zen. Note that what follows is barely a handshake. I will use the word "Zen" for all schools, just to keep it simple.
This article also assumes you know what Buddhism is. If you aren't sure, read the Introduction to Buddhism.
A Very Brief Zen History
Zen began to emerge as a distinctive school of Mahayana Buddhism when the Indian sage Bodhidharma (ca. 470-543) taught at the Shaolin Monastery of China. (Yes, it's a real place, and yes, there is a historic connection between kung fu and Zen.) To this day Bodhidharma is called the First Patriarch of Zen.
Bodhidharma's teachings tapped into some developments already in progress, such as the confluence of philosophical Taoism with Buddhism. Taoism so profoundly impacted early Zen that some philosophers and texts are claimed by both religions. The early Mahayana philosophies of Madhyamika (ca. 2nd century CE) and Yogacara (ca. 3rd century CE) also played huge roles in the development of Zen.
Under the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng (638-713), Zen shed most of its vestigial Indian trappings, becoming more Chinese and more, well, Zennish. Some consider Huineng, not Bodhidharma, to be the true father of Zen. His personality and influence are felt in Zen to this day.
Huineng's tenure was at the beginning of what is still called the Golden Age of Zen. This Golden Age flourished during the same period as China's Tang Dynasty, 618-907. The masters of this Golden Age still speak to us through koans and stories.
During these years Zen organized itself into five "houses," or five schools. Two of these, called in Japanese the Rinzai and the Soto schools, still exist and remain distinctive from each other.
Zen was transmitted to Vietnam very early, possibly as early as the 7th century. A series of teachers transmitted Zen to Korea during the Golden Age. Eihei Dogen (1200-1253), was not the first Zen teacher in Japan, but he was the first to establish a lineage that lives to this day. The West took an interest in Zen after World War II, and now Zen is establishing itself in North America, Europe, and elsewhere.
How Zen Defines Itself
Bodhidharma's definition:
A special transmission outside the scriptures;
No dependence on words and letters;
Direct pointing to the mind of man;
Seeing into one's nature and attaining Buddhahood.
Zen is sometimes called "the face-to-face transmission of the dharma outside the sutras." Throughout the history of Zen, teachers have transmitted their realization of dharma to students by working with them face-to-face. This makes the lineage of teachers critical. A genuine Zen teacher can trace his or her lineage of teachers back to Bodhidharma, and before that to the historical Buddha, and to those Buddhas before the historical Buddha.
Certainly, large parts of the lineage charts have to be taken on faith. But if anything is treated as sacred in Zen, it's the teachers' lineages. With very few exceptions, calling oneself a "Zen teacher" without having received transmission from another teacher is considered a serious defilement of Zen.
While we're talking about teachers, I should mention Zen masters. In my experience, the phrase "Zen master" is hardly ever heard inside Zen. Popular notions of "Zen master," however smarmy, roughly correspond to what a Zen teacher is. The title "Zen master" in Japanese, "zenji," is only given posthumously. In Zen, living Zen teachers are called "Zen teachers." An especially venerable and beloved teacher is called "roshi," which means "old man." I'm not sure how that works when the teacher is a woman, however. In any event, if you ever run into someone who advertises himself as a "Zen master," be skeptical.
Bodhidharma's definition also says that Zen is not an intellectual discipline you can learn from books. Instead, it's a practice of studying mind and seeing into one's nature. The main tool of this practice is zazen.

No Class Friday
This is a petition for No Class Friday! As a wise classmate has said, "I am a fellow student who is very concerned with his academic career here at BYU, but who is more concerned with having a very extended weekend. I have other classes on Friday besides history, and they have all been cancelled. The purpose of this email is to unite us all in petitioning our beloved Don Harreld to cancel class on Friday. Please support this cause by making comments and asking questions that would lead him to believe that holding class on Friday would be absolutely preposterous. Thank you for your time. I will try and get things rolling on Wednesday when class starts and at the break, so please don\'t hesitate to chime in!" *** Please leave a comment below to voice your support of this movement so we can bring about some super sweet extended weekendness! *** -- A possible strategy in winning over The Don may be to post some historical justification for such a reprieve.

It's only October, but some Mississippians are already suffering from flu symptoms. One local physician says the early cases could indicate another serious flu season.
Veterans pulled up for free drive thru flu shots at the V.A. Medical Center in Jackson on Saturday morning.
U.S. Army Veteran Winton Webley said, "You know there are a lot of different strains out there and you just want to make sure you're prepared."
Preparation is key and that's why Dr. Timothy Quinn of Quinn Healthcare is advising patients to receive this year's flu shot. He says he's already diagnosed two patients with the bug.
"Usually the flu will present itself later and it's coming earlier this year which is kind of troubling because we may have more cases," said Dr. Quinn.
Despite that possibility, Quinn's patient Marion Washington doesn't plan to take the shot.
"I've known some people to take it and they got sicker with the flu shot," Washington told WLBT/WDBD News.
In addition to getting your flu shot simple habits like washing your hands thoroughly and keeping your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth can protect you from the flu.
Once you have flu symptoms you should make a trip to the doctor as soon as possible to get a dose of Tamiflu.
Dr. Quinn said "the medicine is only effective if you take it within 48 hours of initiation of symptoms."
Just as a general reminder, flu shots are recommended for everyone six-months and up.

"Mystery of the One" is my humble attempt at creating a body of works which inspire mystical experience. There is such great mystery that surrounds us. Who are we? Why are we here? What is the source that animates us, that breaths us? These questions are not easily understood or answered through spoken language and it is usually the case that answers point to a feeling or realization that one must come to through experience. In my own experience I have found music to be a language which much better excites an experience of the beyond, a language which much better conveys truths which are not as apparent in words. In short, I want to give you something that speaks to my heart in hopes that it will also speak to yours.
"Mystery of the One" is the oldest track on the album and was written about two and a half years ago. I remember getting really excited about it and staying up extra late to get the guitar parts right. I was so inspired by the mystery I felt in writing that song that I decided I wanted to create an album based around that feeling. Each of the tracks explores a different facet of my fascination with creation.
The artwork is a piece painted by my wonderful wife Morgan Mandala. You can check out more of her work at fineartamerica.com/profiles/morgan-manley.html
May you find this music well, it is my gift to you. Thank you.

now bindings not for big feet.
By jake
from maine
About Me Expert
Comments about Now Drive Snowboard Bindings 2014:
I wear a size 13 burton boot and find the heel cup on this binding is designed probably for average size riders. Boot locks in nicely but it actually squeezes my heel in a very uncomfortable way. I really like the size of the burton baseplates as far as interfacing with my boots, but the burton bindings only last me about 6 or 7 runs before I break them. no joke.. anyway I think the quality and strength of the now bindings are excellent but if you have a big foot you may want to look elsewhere.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very comfy and responsive binding.
By Mellowfrank
from Bellevue, WA
About Me Advanced
I'm riding these on my Jones Flagship and so far I've been super happy. They are incredibly comfortable under foot and in the ankle strap. With the hinge/skate tech/kingpin design, I feel like they float a bit more on edge to edge transitions. It may come down to preference, but I like the feel.I'll also note that these fit on my board really well. I have a size 11 boot, and I found that other bindings that fit my boot tended to overhang my board a bit too much. These fit my boot and my board perfectly.
By hey
from Ice Coast
So I got these to throw on my T.rice 161.5 combined with Rome Inferno boots. I was searching for a big/all mountain binding to replace my well worn and much loved Targas. The drives dont turn any easier then Targas and i noticed absolutely no difference in turning with the pivoting action. The only thing i did notice was how the board/bindings seemed to take choppy conditions slightly better then my Targas. These are probably better suited for park being theyre pretty flexible, forgiving and not very powerful. Then again with all the park oriented bindings out there for 1/2 the price why would you buy these? So if youre searching for a big mountain, stiff, powerful binding. Look elsewhere. If youre looking for an expensive, freestyle, more playful binding these are well suited.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Big Blue Kitten, above winning the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes in 2012 at Saratoga, punched his ticket to the Breeders' Cup Turf. (Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire)
Big Blue Kitten became the first horse in North America to earn a spot in the starting gate for the Breeders' Cup Turf on Saturday when he won the United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park.
The United Nations was the first "Win and You're In" challenge series event for the Breeders' Cup Turf in North America and the fourth "Win and You're In" event overall. The victory was the first Grade 1 win for Big Blue Kitten and the second graded stakes victory for the colt.
Racing Resume
Big Blue Kitten showed his potential when he won five of his first six races as a 3-year-old, including a Grade 2 race. The now 5-year-old by Kitten's Joy started out in the claiming ranks, running for a tag in his first three starts, but thankfully for his owners-breeders, no one claimed the bay.
As a 4-year-old, Big Blue Kitten ran into some tough competition while trying to win his second graded stakes race, hitting the board in two American stakes but finishing behind Horse of the Year Wise Dan and multiple Grade 1 winner Get Stormy in his two attempts. Traveling to Royal Ascot for their famed meet didn't help the colt either as he finished 10th behind Australian champion So You Think in the Prince of Wales's Stakes.
In 2013, Big Blue Kitten has shown that he is ready for the step up needed to become a major player in the American turf division.
While he finished third in his 2013 debut, he has won three of his four starts since then. His only blip in those four starts came in the Monmouth Stakes when he finished second to multiple graded stakes winner Boisterous. Even though he lost the race, he broke the 110 mark with his Equibase Speed Figure for the first time, earning a 114.
Big Blue Kitten's Grade 1 win over the weekend is definitely the highlight of his 16-race career. Not only did he tie the 114 figure he earned in June, he also defeated four graded stakes winners including last year's Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike.
"I don't know where we'll go next yet, I will speak to Mr. Ramsey about it," said trainer Chad Brown after the race. "I'm sure we'll take a look at the Arlington Million, I wouldn't be opposed to going a mile and a half in the Sword Dancer, or cutting back for the Arlington Million. He'll head back to his base at Saratoga tonight and we'll wait and see."
The 5-year-old nearly doubled his earnings with the $300,000 he earned in the United Nations, taking his career earnings to $698,530 with the majority of that money coming from races he's run in this year.
Courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire
Big Blue Kitten is one of three Grade 1 winners in 2013 for Kitten's Joy. Kitten's Joy has had major success as a sire with only five crops of racing age. Known as the sire of many of the "kittens" running in the United States, his most famous foal may be Stephanie's Kitten, who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in 2011.
The 2004 champion turf male, Kitten's Joy is the sire of two champions and 35 stakes winners from 324 starters. His progeny has earned nearly $5 million in purse earnings so far this year. He sits sixth on the leading general sire list behind the sires of two Dubai World Cup festival winners and the sire of Orb.
Big Blue Kitten's breeders, Ken and Sarah Ramsey, were smart when it came to finding good matches for Kitten's Joy and Big Blue Kitten's dam, Spent Gold, is no exception. While Ken Ramsey claimed Spent Gold in 1999, two years before the stallion was bred, she is typical of the mares he sent to his stallion in Kitten's Joy's first years at stud.
Spent Gold raced three times, only hitting the board in one of those starts and retiring after Ramsey claimed her. While her race record wasn't impressive, her pedigree is, with each of her first four dams producing at least one stakes winner. Her family includes juvenile champion Stevie Wonderboy and international Group 1 winner Istidaad among other recognizable names.
The Ramseys aren't owners who duck a race, so if Big Blue Kitten is healthy in the fall, it's a fair bet you will see the Ramsey entourage at Santa Anita on November 2. If Big Blue Kitten wins the Breeders' Cup Turf, it will be a good retribution for his sire, who won nearly everything he entered in 2004 before finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

In the Absolute division of the 2013 IBJJF World Championships Marcus Almeida "Buchecha" and Bernardo Faria had a barn burner of a match to advance to the finals to face Rodolfo Vieira.
Buchecha is the defending Absolute world champion and won the Absolutes at the 2013 Pan Jiu Jitsu championships.
Here is Ben Thapa's play-by-play of this match from his compete coverage of Day 1 of the black belt action.
Faria and Almeida carefully circle each other fora while. Faria pulls guard and immediately works to get an omoplata or triangle. Buchecha stands and Faria has to open up, drop down and go for a sit-up sweep. Buchecha now in reverse kesa gatame and Faria has a knee right up in his face. Faria starting to pass a lapel under the leg and Almeida stands. Faria driving for a single leg, but cannot tilt Buchecha yet. Faria drives Buchecha down to the mat! Establishes control!. Now has a potential opportunity to pass, if he can ride out the scramble. Almeida goes for a hip heist and starts doing an oil check to scramble around. Gets to the back on a flattened Faria. Shoves a knee into knee on belly and seems to have gotten points for that. Faria regains half guard.
They rest and are reset in the middle. No action from both. Faria trying to pull up a knee and Almeida sprawls out after thinking about head control. Faria making room for a deep half play and Almeida seems to be pulling in his legs and free the legs. Faria flattened out, but has half guard and a knee grip, which is actually an ankle cuff that has ridden all the way up. Buchecha pops free a foot and nearly gets to mount. Faria somehow manages to keep half guard on a very active Buchecha, who gets an advantage for his work. Faria is down, looking to get back up to sit-up guard or deep half. Buchecha switching sides and trying to overwhelm Faria over the top. Faria grabs a leg and Buchecha grabs a leg in return. Buchecha back steps, but doesn't really go anywhere. Faria trying to keep Buchecha from switching all over the place. Faria trying to take the back in a standing position, but Buchecha is spinning out. Single leg from the knees. Buchecha shoving the head down
Faria pulls Buchecha down! He's up on points now and looking to consolidate and ride out time. Buchecha working a keylock or kneebar! Sweeps him! Nearly passes the guard and gets an advantage for it. Faria has his guard passed again and Buchecha is up majorly on points in what was once a close match. Faria now fending off an armbar, Almeida switches to a farside armbar immediately, which is defended and Almeida keeps scrambling as time runs out. What a gas tank he has! Bernardo Faria came close, but lost momentum after his sweep to go up on points and couldn't deal with the pace.
Rodolfo vs. Buchecha! The match all of us are waiting for!

There were a number of Braves pitchers who were worthy of consideration for the award. But Ortiz's 5-0 record and 1.67 ERA during the month proved to be enough for him to win it again. His first award came in August 2002.
Ortiz's 74 wins since the 2002 All-Star break are the most recorded by a National League pitcher during that span. His victory against the Pirates last week earned him his 100th career win in just his 200th career start.
"Russ is rolling," Chipper Jones said. "Hopefully, he can keep this going the rest of the season."
Ortiz ranks second in the NL with 12 victories this year -- a number he's reached while going 6-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his past seven starts. During that span, he's lowered his ERA from 4.18 to 3.19 and legitimized the possibility of winning 20 games for a second consecutive season. He posted a career-best 21 wins last year with the Braves.
Other Braves pitchers nominated for the monthly award were Mike Hampton (5-0, 2.62 ERA), Jaret Wright (4-0, 1.42 ERA) and John Smoltz (10 saves, 0.46 ERA). Their contributions led the Braves pitching staff to a Major League-best 2.42 ERA in July.
