The cons: Although the food was very good, I didn't like that the choices during the evening for dinner on the Lido deck were limited. Room service was also limited to cold meals. (Room service also showed up very late the one morning we requested it). I thought the service in Normandie, the restaurant, was very slow, and it took a long time to get meals (initially. We spoke to the head waiter and he fixed this problem for us). I would have liked a different dining room one evening for a diverse experience. The coffee was terrible; the specialty coffee was not much better.
The decor is odd. I don't know why a contemporary ship would have such a dated theme (Italian Renaissance).
It was very hard to get through by phone to guest services, room service, the room steward, etc.
One complaint about Club Carnival is that, one evening, they were running 30 minutes late for an event (a movie). The movie was going to go past 10:00 p.m. But, if you picked up your child when the movie ended, you were charged the $6.75 per hour, per child, fee that the Club charges after 10 p.m. They should have made an accomodation in this instance, to let the poor kids finish the movie, without a fee.
All in all, we really enjoyed the cruise. It is hard to match the service of a Disney Cruise (the other line we have traveled on), but the food was on par with Disney. The entertainment was better (there was more to do on Carnival).

Vaginal tears during childbirth are relatively common. Vaginal tears that involve only the skin around the vagina typically heal within a few weeks. Some vaginal tears are more extensive and take longer to heal. If the pain seems excessive or gets worse, contact your health care provider. Excessive pain could be a sign of infection.
First-degree vaginal tears are the least severe, involving only the skin around the vaginal opening. Although you might experience some mild burning or stinging with urination, first-degrees tears aren't severely painful and heal on their own within a few weeks. To ease any discomfort during urination, pour warm water over your vulva as you're passing urine.
Second-degree vaginal tears involve vaginal tissue and the perineal muscles — the muscles between the vagina and anus that help support the uterus, bladder and rectum. Second-degree tears typically require stitches and heal within a few weeks.
To ease discomfort while you're recovering:
Third-degree vaginal tears involve the vaginal tissues, perineal muscles and the muscle that surrounds the anus (anal sphincter). These tears sometimes require repair in an operating room — rather than the delivery room — and might take months to heal. Complications such as fecal incontinence and painful intercourse are possible.
To ease discomfort in the meantime:
Fourth-degree vaginal tears are the most severe. They involve the perineal muscles and anal sphincter as well as the tissue lining the rectum. Fourth-degree tears usually require repair in an operating room — rather than the delivery room — and might take months to heal. Complications such as fecal incontinence and painful intercourse are possible.
Your health care provider will evaluate your recovery at your postpartum checkup. If you experience complications from a severe vaginal tear, you might be referred to a urogynecologist, colorectal surgeon or other specialist.

During the proceedings of the UN Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP 19), Poland has earned the nickname "Coaland" from activists. Partly because of the unprecedented move in which Warsaw hosted The World Coal Association's "Coal and Climate" conference simultaneous with COP 19.
Civil society in Poland and from around the world is demonstrating outrage at the hypocrisy of this move with protests and actions designed to show global support for Poland's moving beyond coal. In Warsaw on Sunday, a march on climate traveled from the city center to the National Stadium where the COP is being held. Sierra Student Coalition is supporting a Polish NGO's "StopEP" campaign against the building of a new coal plant in Pomerania in northern Poland. And a rally was held outside the coal summit on Monday to show outrage at the fact that it was happening while the world's leaders were meeting to work out the newest iteration of an agreement on lowering emissions with the goal of keeping the change in climate to below 2 degrees Celsius.
The "Coaland" moniker is also earned because Poland currently produces almost 90 percent of its electricity from coal. This is in spite of the EU regulations and renewable energy directives that the country has refused to follow to such an extent that it might be levied a large daily fine until it complies.

"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"The cards are thick and of good quality, and the picture colors came out true. The text print is excellent. They also arrived several days earlier than expected (I ordered standard shipping). My only request is that there was an option for the back that would allow handwritten notes before the cards are sent out."
"Everything was great...color, print and design. The delivery time was amazing and I actually have my New Year's cards out the first week of January! Thank you!"
"The card came out great, looks exactly like it does online. As always, paper and print quality is excellent. Very happy with this."

The 2013 NCAA Tournament is down to just eight teams. What started out as a tournament of 68 schools has been filled with upsets, game-winning shots and heartbreak. On Saturday, two teams will punch their ticket to the Final Four in Atlanta.
No. 3 seed Marquette vs. No. 4 seed Syracuse, 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS
The first game of the day will pit a couple of Big East teams against each other one final time. Syracuse is set to become the newest member of the ACC, while Marquette will be one of the founding members of the Catholic 7. Given the history between these two programs, we could be in for a brawl in Washington D.C.
One of the more interesting dynamics to keep an eye on will be if the Golden Eagles can score against Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone. Marquette does not shoot the ball well, which means they have to attack the rim and get out on the fast break to score most of their points. If the Orange take care of the ball on their offensive end, it may be tough for MU to find points down the stretch.
In their lone meeting of the season, Marquette won at home, 74-71, in late February.
For more on the match-up, be sure to check out Anonymous Eagle and Nunes Magician.
No. 2 seed Ohio State vs. No. 9 Wichita State, 7:05 p.m., CBS
The nightcap will feature one powerhouse program and a Cinderella team looking to continue their unexpected run. The Buckeyes are arguably the hottest team in the country, winning the Big Ten Tournament during their current 11-game winning streak. A late three-pointer from LaQuinton Ross sent OSU to the Elite Eight in thrilling fashion over Arizona on Thursday night.
Wichita State wasn't given much of a chance against Pittsburgh in the second round. They dominated. The Shockers were then big underdogs against top-seeded Gonzaga, yet they marched on in Salt Lake City. On Thursday night, they blew out La Salle to continue what was been a remarkable season for head coach Gregg Marshall.
Ohio State will be the biggest challenge thus far for Wichita State. They dig in on defense, and slowing down Ross, Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas will be a real challenge for WSU. If they can limit turnovers and hit a couple of shots late in the second half -- something Arizona wasn't able to do -- the Shockers could move on to the Final Four.

The hits keep coming for the Colts, especially on their offensive line.
The Indianapolis Star is reporting that rookie OT Ben Ijalana damaged the ACL in his left knee and could miss the rest of the season. Ijalana entered Monday night's game to replace another rookie, first-round OT Anthony Castonzo, who injured his left ankle.
Ijalana was the Colts' fifth-round pick. His injury forced Mike Tepper, a practice-squad player who was activated on Monday, into action.

Christian Wade looked to have won a footrace to score in the dying minutes but the whistle went the home team's way and the last minute chance was gone.
In truth it would have been harsh had Wasps stolen the victory right at the end, as a fired up home side fought valiantly for a much needed win having lost six in a row.
Wasps got off to a bright start with an early dart from Elliot Daly, playing in the unfamiliar number 15 shirt.
A charge-down on Gareth Davies from Tinus Du Plessis led to a decent passage of play for the visitors which ended with a first shot at goal for youngster Tommy Bell playing at fly-half. Bell's kick, in the rain, was pushed just wide.
But Wasps continued to press, and got within a whisker of scoring a try just minutes later.
A fine take from Jonah Holmes saw Cardiff penalised as they chased the kick in an offside position, and Wasps were into the Cardiff 22. Wentzel caught the lineout well and Wasps drove forward but were frustratingly penalised on the floor as they repeatedly drove for the line.
A period of kicking followed and came to an end when Wasps were penalised for a forward pass on the halfway line.
That mistake proved to be extremely costly as it directly led to the first score of the night for Cardiff.
The ball was moved quickly from the scrum and with Lee Thomas slipping as Cardiff moved wide quickly, fullback Dan Fish sprinted through the outside cover to score. The conversion from Gareth Davies made it 7-0 after 15 minutes.
Wasps had a chance to hit back immediately when Tommy Bell was handed a second shot at goal and this time he didn't miss making it 7-3.
Wasps though couldn't clear their lines from the restart and a poor clearance kick gave Cardiff a lineout just metres out. The home side though couldn't take advantage of the excellent field position and solid Wasps defence pushed them back up the park.
Wasps then enjoyed a fine period of possession as Sam Jones, James Cannon, Phil Swainston and Billy Vunipola were all prominently involved in some fine carries over a ten minute period, and Bell made it 7-6 after the home side were penalised for pushing offside in the middle.
But Wasps were guilty again of fluffing the restart with Wentzel knocking on as he moved forward and Cardiff were suddenly in a great position despite a thumping tackle from Chris Bell in midfield.
Davies was handed another shot at goal after a half charge down on Holmes led to a penalty but the home side's kicker missed and pushed it wide.
Wasps then had to survive an excellent attack by Cardiff as Davies and Tom James broke away down the right. A scramble defence managed to get back and defend well with Jack Wallace and Christian Wade doing just enough, and Cardiff were pinged at the breakdown.
Wasps then raced through for their first try.
A shove at a Cardiff scrum gave Wasps a free-kick and Vunipola tapped fast and then spun a pass out to Elliot Daly who raced through a gap and finished brilliantly in the left corner under serious pressure from the Cardiff defence. Wasps took a 7-11 lead as Bell's kick went wide.
Wasps did deal with this kick off better, winning the ball and then setting up an excellent driving maul which made about 30 metres. There were rewarded for that fine effort with a penaltuy which Bell knocked over for a 7-14 halftime lead.
Wasps pressured Cardiff at a couple of early scrums in the second half but were caught offside when pushing up in defence and Davies made it 10-14 just three minutes in.
A period of scrappy play followed, with Cardiff just shading the forward exchanges but both sides were guilty of loose errors on the floor.
The ball continued to exchange hands but Cardiff got their tails up with a well organised mail which brought them from the halfway line into the Wasps 22. As the ball moved wide, Chris Bell pushed up too soon in the middle and despite his excellent tackle, was penalised but Davies couldn't take advantage of the penalty offer as he pushed it wide again.
Wasps then had a shot just minutes later when a penalty from another excellent scrum handed Bell the ball on the tee just 30 metres out. He made no mistake despite being heckled as he made his run up to restore a 7-point lead for Wasps.
Charlie Davies then came on for Jonah Holmes in the first sub of the night.
Tom James then grabbed Cardiff's second try of the night when Ceri Sweeney, on for Davies, made an immediate impact with a fine wide pass and James slid in to score in the corner. Sweeney couldn't add the kick and Wasps still led – but now just by two points.
It was all Cardiff now as James came close again to scoring when a dropped pass by Wasps saw him flyhack through but Wallace just made it back in time to slide and recover.
Wasps brought on Matt Everard for Du Plessis.
Immediately Everard was through a huge gap after latching onto the end of a pass from TR Thomas and making 20 metres before being hauled down. Wasps pressed and pressed and were close to going over the line, but the ball was agonisingly turned over and again it was hacked downfield and this time needed Daly to race back and put it out on the 22 to prevent what looked a certain score as Cardiff sent two men racing after it
Hugo Southwell then came on for Lee Thomas as Daly moved into the centre.
Sweeney's impact continued positively and he then grabbed a third try after darting far too easily through a number of Wasps defenders and gave his side an easy 7 points and a 22-17 lead.
Will Taylor and Dave Hughes came on for their first Wasps appearances for Swainston and Wentzel.
Wasps efforts in the final few minutes came so close to grabbing a try when Wade hacked through and looked like winning the race to score. He was pushed by Sweeney but the referee gave a knock on and the last ditch chance was missed.
The home side wound the clock down to take a 22-17 win.

Many teams are interested in free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, including the Detroit Tigers, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The trouble is, they're already paying Jhonny Peralta $6 million in 2013 to man the position for them. In order to get Drew, they would need to deal with Peralta first.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have shown some interest this winter in Peralta. It would be an interesting scenario, as Drew was drafted by and spent his entire career with the Diamondbacks until being traded to the Oakland A's in August.
Peralta had a down year in 2012 after an All-Star campaign in 2011. He hit only .239/.305/.384 with 13 home runs.
The New York Yankees are also reported to have interest in Drew, despite the presence of Derek Jeter. They are apparently not worried about Jeter's health, but rather are interested in Drew as a super-utility player. Drew has never played anywhere but shortstop, and would presumably like to continue doing so. But he could be lured to the Bronx in an attempt to build his value back up with a winning team.
The Boston Red Sox could also have interest, as they have traded off shortstops Marco Scutaro, Jed Lowrie and Mike Aviles in the last year. Prospect Jose Iglesias may not be ready to take over.

Anyone have experience using the Palau Thermo Slippers? (link below) www.palau-boutique.com/palau-mountain,fr,4,PAL-MOUNT.cfm I've been looking for a better fitting liner with at least equal warmth than the stock LS Spantik liners. Despite LS's "heat moldable" claim for the Spantik liners, I haven't heard of anyone successfully doing this. I have, however, heard great things about replacing the Spantik liner with the Baruntse liner, which is also made by Palau & available on LS's website. I'm trying to figure out which of these 2 liners (the ones in the link above, ordered directly from Palau, or the Baruntse liners from LS) will work better for a pair of Spantiks. The current fit with Spantik stock liners is a bit tight, so I'm hoping heat molding one of these two replacement liners should help. Also, if anyone has experience using another liner in the Spantik, I'm interested to know your thoughts. Thanks!
Done both. Stick with the Baruntase liner. If you mold it right you can come up with all sorts of room. No guessing on sizes either. Match your boot to the shell size. Original Spantik liner is easy to mold just not a lot of foam there to get a lot better the fit. It is enough but it will never give you the fit the Palau liner will give. The Baruntse liner has LOTS of foam by comparison and much easier to fit by someone who knows what they are doing. Ton of detail and directions on "how to" info about both liners on CT if you do a search.
Awesome, Dane--you're the man! Thanks for the input, because I was originally leaning towards the Palau liners available directly from their website (a bit cheaper/looked simple). But it seems the Baruntse liner/Spantik shell combo is tried & true, so I'll go ahead and order a Baruntse liner. Just to clarify; you recommend ordering a size 44 Baruntse liner for my size 44 Spantik shell, correct? Thanks again... P.S. The Blue Ice Boa leash I ordered from CT & received a few months ago works awesome! Definitely recommended to anyone looking for such a system.
Also, if you happen to know of anywhere you can recommend that offers solid/reliable heat molding service in the NC, SoCal, or Anchorage areas (not sure if AMS would take on the job because they claim to not offer heat molding unless you've bought the liner from them directly), I'd appreciate a few recommendations. I know a few guys up in the Mammoth/Eastern Sierra area who I know are well-versed in heat molding, but I unfortunately will not be in the area before my upcoming AK trip in May. Thanks again for all of the time and input...
Yes shell size to liner size...they (both) only come in full sizes. 43.5 and a 44 are the same size shell for instance 45.5 and 46 are same size shell. Molding liners? And decent ski shop can do it for you (my suggestion cost is nromally around $30 here) Others have done it themselves. I guarantee you'll get a better fit with some professional help. Directions can be found on the blog.
All sounds good. Just put in an order for size 44 Baruntse liners. Thanks for the help!

Murphy has strained hamstring
Infielder/outfielder instructed to skip playing in Puerto Rico
NEW YORK -- The Arizona Fall League season was about to end, one way or another, for Daniel Murphy. It has ended the other way -- because of injury. The Mets platoon left fielder-designate has a strained right hamstring. The injury not only ended Murphy's AFL season, it prompted the Mets to advise him not to play in the Puerto Rican Winter League.
An MRI administered on Thursday in Manhattan determined that Murphy has suffered a Grade 2 strain of the muscle. Such injuries are measured on a scale of one to four, four being the most serious.
Murphy first experienced pain in the leg on Nov. 11 while taking ground balls at second base during batting practice. He hasn't played since then, and the AFL season ends on Saturday.
"I just rolled it over, and then I felt something," Murphy said by telephone after arriving home in Jacksonville, Fla., in the afternoon.
Murphy intends to resume light training on Monday by swimming, but team doctors have urged him to avoid hard running until the new year.
Murphy was to have primarily played left field with the Ponce team in Puerto Rico, but "I'm going to do what I'm told," he said. "I was either going to get a chance to sharpen up in the outfield or get a chance to rest. Now I'll just make up for [the time missed]. I'll go to Spring Training a couple of weeks early."
Murphy ended his season with the Peoria Saguaros with a .397 batting average, the fifth-highest average in the league through Wednesday, in 63 at-bats. He had driven in 18 runs, scored 15 and hit two home runs.
He played second base almost exclusively for the Saguaros, as the Mets had designated him as a second baseman in July when they made arrangements for him to play in the AFL. But before he began playing, the club told him that he most likely would share left field with veteran Fernando Tatis, Murphy playing against right-handed pitchers and Tatis against lefties.
The club hasn't wavered from that plan, and has since re-signed Tatis and is not aggressively pursuing another outfielder.

Salmonella bacteria cause food poisioning, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever. More than 2500 different strains of salmonella have been identified.
Anyone can get salmonella, but young children, the elderly and people whose immune systems are not working properly have a greater risk of becoming severely ill.
Symptoms include watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever. These symptoms usually last for four to seven days and clear up without treatment, but if you become seriously ill you may need to be treated for dehydration (fluid loss) caused by the illness.
Transmission occurs by eating contaminated food, mainly of animal origin, or by faecal contamination from an infected person or animal.

July 22/ The quiet sun shoots a woolly prom.
Sun Scopes
Here is my Little Big Man riding piggyback on his big brother.
For the past two weeks, the sun has been seething with activity, as in this image captured on July 7th.
Today, not a sunspot to be seen.
Meanwhile, on the quiet edge of the sun, a game of snap the whip.
A Field of Sun Flowers
…A different telling of the same story.
Sunspots On Parade!
(another version here).
Beauty Mark
Gorgeous sunspot in active region 2109 with an unusual bright center. The umbra (dark area) of the sunspot is quite a bit larger than earth… the little granules on the surface about the size of Texas. What a great week for fun in the sun, y'all.
A busy bustling sun.

A Fontana shooting wounded a 52-year-old Bellflower man in the abdomen and right elbow, police say.
The gunfire erupted at 6:05 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, along the 16500 block of Terrace Lane, where witnesses heard an argument that they told police apparently escalated into the gunfire.
Police said they're looking for 40-year-old Dajuan Michele Lawley, of Fontana, whom they want to question and characterize as a person of interest.
"Victim may have been arguing with Dajuan Lawley," police said in a written statement. "Lawley matches the description witnesses gave of a tall, black male running west from the scene moments after the shots were heard."
Lawley is 6-feet-9 and 225 pounds.
The running man was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, gray undershirt and blue jeans.

Since the main writers of this blog shared their locations and lives with us at the blog's inception I thought it would be pretty cool to see where everyone else is from and learn a little more about people. I live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and am a rising junior at Wake Forest University. If you follow college sports, we're probably best known for flaming out in the NCAA's year after year and producing both Tim Duncan and Chris Paul. I've been an avid Villa supporter for the past 2 seasons as I started watching a ton of footie once I got on campus. I'd love to hear where everyone else is from and learn more about people who post here.
This is a great site guys keep up the work!

Question: Was Frank Wildhorn involved at all?
Question: How would you describe Lucy, the Lucy that you're portraying?
Question: Do you have a favorite moment in the show for Lucy? Is there anything you look forward to each night?
26 Apr 2013
Photo by Chris Bennion
Cox: Frank was more involved when it came to establishing the sound for me and Constantine. Being the writer of all these epic songs, he had a vision as well. He worked closely with myself and he worked closely with Constantine on the concept recording, and that kind of birthed these two roles. And, then once we got on the road, then we really, breathed new life into these characters much more firmly.
Cox: I would describe her as a survivor. She's a very complex woman who's in a bad situation, but she knows that she's bigger and better than the situation she's in. So she strives to find something better. She falls in love with Henry Jekyll quickly because she's never been respected by a man before. She's in this abusive place, but she doesn't let that beat her down. Her spirits are always alive and always motivated. She's motivated, I think, by being in this bad situation, and when she meets Henry Jekyll, she's motivated to find love and find a better situation for herself. This has been the most challenging role I've ever played. She's really uninhibited, she's really complex and sexy and sultry, and it's made me explore a different side of me that's really exhilarating… [letting] your sexuality be sort of what's worn on your sleeve, whereas as a person, that's not the first thing that I'm focused on. [Laughs.]
Cox: I think for me each night is different, which is what I love about musical theatre. It's just profoundly magical. There are moments that happen every night that I couldn't have thought up. Every night I go into it with a fresh palette. I love that you're kind of walking this tightrope every night and there's no safety net, so you've got to go out there and do it. Sometimes it's "A New Life," sometimes it's "Sympathy, Tenderness," sometimes it's "Bring On The Men." That's what's really amazing about this role. It's a great role for an actress because she's such a complex character. I get to show many layers of her as a character, and then the songs are so different as well. There's a lot of dynamics in the show that I get to show and highlight as well.
Cox: I think the toughest part for me playing her is that she's so submissive, in a way. She has to take the abuse, and that's just not my nature. So it's just a constant fight physically, emotionally and spiritually onstage to just be abused. I have to take it and portray some kind of restraint [laughs]. I fight through it, and I hear the audiences – they hate that I die in the end. But I think in some ways it keeps the audiences coming back, too. I know, for me, I love tearjerkers. I love movies and songs that make me cry, and I'll listen to them over and over again, for that feeling, and I think audiences do the same thing in a way. They want to see and go through the journey and the emotional roller coaster of the show.

I don't think that will happen. I think there are plans of remodeling the former Albertson's Mkt. on California Avenue near San Antonio Shopping Center into a 24hr Fitness. Their current site is too crowded and small for expansion.

I don't know how many other people would be interested in this but I would love to see a "99 Ranch" Asian market move into that spot. They opened up a really nice new branch in Foster City not too long ago and really revitalized that commercial strip.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Is the struggling economy putting more people out on the streets?
That's one question organizers of a homeless count in Georgia want to answer.
The Albany-Dougherty Department of Community and Economic Development is looking for volunteers to help count the homeless population. Last year, they found 192 homeless people in Dougherty County, but they admit that's likely an under count. For next year, they're redefining what homeless is to include families who may be living with relatives or friends or living in a motel. Organizers say it's important to get an accurate count.
"We can't attempt to address their problems their concerns their issues unless we know what they are. Currently we don't know what they are. We can think in our minds oh well they probably lost their job or got behind on their rent or maybe they overspent on their credit cards that's just assuming what happened we really don't know," said Lauren Miller, Count Organizer.
"A person who's homeless they need someone to care about what's happening to them and if the community doesn't care we're not much of a community," said Ginny Hayman, a volunteer.
The 2009 Georgia Homeless Count will be done Monday through Friday the week of January 25th. Seven other counties in our area will participate in the count. To help with the count you can contact Thelma Watson at (229)483-7650.

A Williamston man who authorities said stole a minivan at knifepoint Thursday, and then robbed a bank at gunpoint Saturday
Anderson County deputies said Thomas McDonald, 33, was with another man Oct. 4, when McDonald pulled out a box cutter and demanded the man's money and cell phone. They said McDonald then fled in the man's minivan.
Police in Anderson said McDonald showed up at the Wells Fargo Bank at 1620 E. Greenville St. on Saturday and demanded money from a teller, using a note that said he had a gun.
McDonald was charged with robbery in connection with both crimes. He was being held in the county jail.
On Tuesday, McDonald appeared before a judge and FOX Carolina crews said during the hearing, McDonald became upset about the cameras in the courtroom.
"Can I object to them taking constant pictures?" McDonald asked the judge. "How many they need?"
McDonald refused to answer the judge's questions or sign any documents.
He was also charged with entering a bank with the intent to steal. He was given a $100,000 surety bond.

Pool children dig in to help celebrate Queen's Diamond Jubilee
12:30pm Thursday 15th March 2012 in Features
Children have helped get Wharfedale's Royal Diamond Jubilee celebrations off to an environmentally-friendly start.
Pupils from Pool-in-Wharfedale C of E Primary headed down to the Recreation Ground yesterday morning to plant a Jubilee Copse.
The scheme, driven by honorary citizen Harry Wardman on behalf of Pool Recreation Ground Manag-ement Committee, involved planting 100 trees provided by The Woodland Trust.
Committee chairman Richard Parker said: "It was nice to get the schoolchildren involved in what was the first actual Jubilee project that's under way in the village, and they all got a chance to plant or dig.
"We are asking people to sponsor the copse itself, to the tune of £3 per person, to help us cover the costs of the fencing and setting the project up."
Pool Feast – whose committee Mr Parker also chairs – on Tuesday, June 5, will be the focal point for more celebrations, including a family-focused fun afternoon, to mark the Queen's 60 year reign. Street parties and barbecues are also being planned, and the Parish Council is supporting a Jubilee Dance which will take place in the Village Hall on Saturday, June 2.

The low cost airline announced Thursday it found a compliance issue with the emergency slides on its MD80 aircraft.

Allegiant officials say they will be getting in touch with those affected by delays or cancellations.

CLAYTON — The rain and wind made everything tough for Smithfield-Selma and Cleveland Wednesday night but the elements didn't prevail. Neither the Spartans or Rams did for that matter but both teams got something out of a 3-all tie played in a driving heavy mist and winds blowing across the Cleveland pitch as strong as 30 mph at times.
The result wasn't all bad for either side. Although Smithfield-Selma (8-4-3 overall) suffered its first non-win in Two Rivers 3A Conference play (4-0-1), but a goal late in regulation kept the Spartans ahead of Corinth Holders (3-1-0) in the conference championship chase.
Cleveland (3-6-2 overall) enhanced its hopes for a playoff spot while staying at .500 (2-2-1) in the league.
Smithfield-Selma grabbed a pair of leads, the first coming just three minutes before the half when Rodrigo Sanchez fed a driving Harrison Howell in the middle of the field. Howell got around the Rams' defense, then chipped the ball to teammate Oscar Villaneauva for a wide-open goal.
The Rams got right back even a minute into the second half when Nolan Stelzner dropped home a feed from Jhavonte Moon.
Smithfield-Selma senior midfielder Robin Barksdale earned a penalty kick eight minutes later, drawing a foul along the end line. Barksdale pushed the ball home on the PK for a 2-1 Spartan lead.
Stelzner answered again six minutes later for the Rams with Nick Brinke assisting for another tie.
Then, Cleveland claimed its first lead with 21 minutes to play in regulation when Brinke scored on a feed from Moon.
"From the start, we played as a unit using our drops and switching fields," said Cleveland coach Fab Bonilla. "We had a hick up in the first half with not marking up and they scored. Throughout the game we played with intensity and toughness leaving everything we had on the field and having an answer for everything they threw at us. SSS is one of the best teams we've played this year, if not the best."
SSS, a team with 15 seniors on its roster, refused to settle over the next 20 minutes of play. The Spartans put three solid shots on goal against Cleveland keeper Gio Solis but he handled each of them in the wet conditions.
"It was a great overall team effort," Bonilla said, "with our seniors (Nolan Stelzner, Jhavonte Moon and Nick Brinke) leading the way. Gio made some great saves as well."
But the final big Spartan push resulted in the equalizing goal. Howell drove the ball through the right side of the Cleveland defense before feeding to Ricardo Flores just in front of Solis. Solis had no chance to stop the shot and the Spartans were even at 3 with 6:45 to play. Flores played the ball after Howell's pass was let through by Jose Jiminez who was also making a run at the SSS net, leaving Solis unable to commit to one of the onrushing players.
"I thought Cleveland played a great game, they were an organized team and really well coached," said SSS coach Renato Freitas. "I also knew would be even hard because our team move the ball well and on those weather conditions make the passes not so accurate, we try to adjust through the game but we kept making simple mistakes that allowed Cleveland to find some great through passes.
"We were down to a few minutes to the end, but I had faith that our team was going to work through and find a goal to tie up."
Scoring opportunities didn't really come to fruition for either side in the 20 minutes of extra time, allowing Cleveland to avoid falling below .500 in the conference and SSS from taking its first league loss.

The decaying old Cook County hospital building could be coming back from the dead.
It's been abandoned for more than ten years.
But now Crain's Chicago Business says County Board President Toni Preckwinkle is floating a plan to redevelop the building on the West Side.
It would be a major project, and not cheap.
In the past, Preckwinkle has talked about moving county administrative offices into the building.
The county will look for a project manager this spring.

- Hamilton gets day off for series finale
- Rangers discussing Ogando options
- Andrus doubtful for Houston series
- Worth noting
ARLINGTON -- Right-handed pitcher Darren O'Day will pitch for Triple-A Round Rock on medical rehabilitation assignment on Monday. It will be his fourth outing for Round Rock, and it could be his last.
O'Day has pitched three scoreless innings in his last three outings. He has allowed one hit and one walk while striking out five. Pitching for the second straight day, O'Day struck out the side in order on Saturday. There appears to be little left to prove in the Minor Leagues, and he could be activated during the Rangers' three-game series with the Astros that begins Tuesday in Houston.
"We'll see how [Monday] goes and make a call after that," manager Ron Washington said.
O'Day has been sidelined for two months after undergoing surgery on April 28 to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. O'Day was 0-1 with a 2.45 ERA before having the surgery, and he has a 1.94 ERA in 140 relief appearances over the previous two seasons.
"Yes, we miss him ... he's a big part of our bullpen," Washington said. "The hip has not been a problem. It's just getting into pitching shape, consistently doing what he wants to do with the baseball, and field his position."
Hamilton gets day off for series finale
ARLINGTON -- Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was out of the lineup on Sunday, one day after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in a 14-5 loss to the Mets.
Hamilton is now hitting .113 (6-for-52) with no home runs, four RBIs and 21 strikeouts in day games this season. But manager Ron Washington said that's not why Hamilton was out of the lineup Sunday.
"He looks tired. ... He just looks physically tired to me," Washington said.
Hamilton said he and Washington talked about taking Sunday off a few days ago. The Rangers are off on Monday before opening a three-game series against the Astros on Tuesday in Houston.
"I could use a day off, and piggyback it with the actual day off," Hamilton said. "It will be good for me."
The upcoming schedule appears good for Hamilton as well. Beginning Tuesday, the Rangers play 12 straight night games before a Sunday afternoon day game on July 10 against the Athletics. That's the Rangers' last game before the All-Star break.
The Rangers also open the second half by playing 12 of 14 games at night. But the Rangers aren't planning to protect Hamilton the rest of the way by playing him only at night.
"He's not going to get all day games off," Washington said. "I don't know what he sees or what he doesn't see. But if you play in a game, you may not get a hit, but you can do other things. You can play defense. You can walk and run the bases, break up a double play."
Hamilton is hitting .377 with seven home runs and 33 RBIs in 26 night games. He tried using contacts on Saturday, but that didn't work. The biggest concern is that he may be talking his way into a day-game slump.
"I'll figure it out, just like I always do," Hamilton said.
Hamilton went into Sunday's game with 22 RBIs for the month of June, third most in the Major Leagues.
Rangers discussing Ogando options
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers plan to discuss various options with pitcher Alexi Ogando. Right now, manager Ron Washington said the Rangers are planning on him making his next start on Friday against the Marlins.
The club could push Ogando back to Saturday to give him an extra day of rest. The Rangers could also skip him in the rotation and let David Bush make a spot start.
"We're certainly discussing a lot of things," Washington said. "We haven't put any plan in place yet. Right now, he's going to get his next start."
Ogando switched from the bullpen to the rotation this season, and was 7-0 with a 2.10 ERA in his first 12 starts. He is 0-3 with a 9.31 ERA in his last three starts. Washington said one option not being discussed is moving Ogando back to the bullpen.
He may get extra rest, but the Rangers, at this time, intend to keep Ogando in the rotation.
"It doesn't have anything to do with the bullpen," Washington said. "We have a few days to come together on something."
Andrus doubtful for Houston series
ARLINGTON -- Shortstop Elvis Andrus was out of the lineup again Sunday with a sprained left wrist, and he said he is not sure if he'll be ready for the three-game series against the Astros that begins on Tuesday in Houston.
"I don't know ... I don't think so," Andrus said. "It's going to be a few days."
Andrus said there is still some stiffness in the wrist, and he is concerned about how it might impact his swing.
"I have to be 100 percent to go back," Andrus said. "I don't want to be feeling something in the wrist and it changes my swing. If I have to take a few days off and get it right, I will."
Andres Blanco started at shortstop on Sunday for the second straight day and will do so again in Houston if Andrus is not ready. Manager Ron Washington said there are no plans to use Michael Young at shortstop in Houston even though the Rangers will be without the designated hitter.
"Blanco is my shortstop if Elvis is not playing," Washington said.
Worth noting
Catcher Mike Napoli, on the disabled list with a strained left oblique muscle, is taking batting practice, feeling good and hoping to go on medical rehabilitation assignment in the Minor Leagues on Thursday.
Scott Feldman will start Friday for Triple-A Round Rock, and Brandon Webb starts Saturday. Round Rock is off on Thursday. Webb's regularly scheduled start falls on that day, so the Rangers are pushing him back two days so he can get an extra session in the bullpen.
Going into Sunday, there had been an average of 10.61 runs and 2.89 home runs hit in games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Both were the highest marks for any park in the Major Leagues.
The Rangers allowed 14 runs without giving up a home run on Saturday. The last time that happened was June 13, 1998, against the Angels.

America SCORES to Issue Call to Help Build Soccer Fields for Local Kids
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- America SCORES Bay Area is proud to announce its partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to present a series of free screenings of the World Cup at Civic Center Plaza beginning Saturday, June 14. With lead sponsorships from Twitter and Visa, the events promise to draw thousands of people to watch the world's most popular sport on enormous video screens amid a fun, festive atmosphere.
The events will also underscore the urgent need to provide soccer fields for San Francisco's public elementary school children. With the exception of three schools that now have green turf fields thanks to America SCORES, every public elementary school in San Francisco has hard-surface playgrounds made of concrete or asphalt. The playgrounds are unsightly, cause injuries and discourage play.
America SCORES will be calling on those who attend the screenings to help fund the new playgrounds with soft, green turf for San Francisco's public elementary schools that serve lower-income neighborhoods.
"Many of the kids who attend the events at Civic Center would like nothing more than to find themselves up on the same big screen some day playing in the World Cup," said Emily Queliza?, Associate Director? of America SCORES Bay Area. "But that dream is difficult to imagine for many kinds in our city because they don't have suitable playgrounds on which to play soccer. That's why we'll be calling on attendees to join the campaign to buy new playgrounds."
Information about how to donate to America SCORES's Field of Dreams campaign can be found at http://www.americascores.org/affiliates/bay-area/asphalt-to-turf
Members of America SCORES executive leadership will attend all of the World Cup Soccer Live events and will be available for media interviews to discuss their campaign. To schedule interviews, members of the media are requested to either contact the organization's press representatives below or, during the screenings, a representative of American SCORES at its booth on the border of Grove Street at Civic Center.
Featured games include:
England vs. Italy: 3 p.m., Saturday, June 14
US vs. Ghana: 3 p.m., Monday, June 16
Mexico vs. Brazil: Noon, Tuesday, June 17
U.S. vs. Portugal: 3 p.m., Sunday, June 22
US vs. Germany: 9 a.m., Thursday, June 26
Semi Finals: 1 p.m., Wednesday, July 9
Finals: Noon, Sunday, July 13

vacation rental description
You're coming to Marco Island for the sunshine. Make sure you can enjoy it!
When you're contemplating which property to rent on Marco, we encourage you to pay close attention to the pool area. Is the pool large enough for your group to enjoy? Does the pool area get sunshine throughout the day? Is there room to move furniture around to catch the sun or shade? Given that most people come to Marco for the sunshine, you'd be surprised how many places don't offer all these things.
Many of our guest comment that they came for the beautiful beaches, but find they rarely leave the comfort of the house. There are plenty of comfortable chairs for everyone around the pool. The screened in atrium has a beautiful new oversized outdoor sectional where you can stretch out and read a book in the shade or enjoy an al-fresco dinner around the large patio table. If you want to get closer to nature, head out to the large dock where you can see dolphins frolicking in the water, catch a glimpse of a bashful manatee, watch in wonder as a pelican dives straight into the water to catch its supper, grab a fishing pole and try your luck at catching your own supper, or just catch some rays and listen to the gentle tropical breezes rustle the palm fronds.
Sweet Dreams….
After a hard day of relaxing in the sun, retire to the comfort of one of three bedrooms in the Bedroom Wing.
The master bedroom has a new king-sized bedroom set complete with brand new 'pillow-top' mattress. This larger room overlooks the pool, atrium and waterfront. For those early risers there are wonderful sunrises from this bedroom. The attached bathroom has a walk-in shower with built-in bench and the usual sink and toilet.
There are two other bedrooms - one with a queen-sized bed and another with two sets of bunk beds (sleeping four people each in their own bed). All the bedrooms have TVs and either a DVD player or VCR.
In the Bedroom Wing, there is also a full bathroom with a shower/ bathtub and half bath that also has a door out to the pool and serves as the pool bath so guests don't have to walk through the house while wet.
Bright and Airy Casual Comfort
The Living Wing is a collection of four rooms that consist of the central living room, kitchen, sunroom/dinette situated around the atrium room.
The living room is the central room of the house and has a large sectional sofa positioned in front of the new 42-inch LED TV, DVD player and CD stereo complete with MP3/IPod connections. In one corner of the living room is a desk with a computer printer. The house has wireless broadband internet connection. One nice feature of the living room is the wall of glass doors that overlooks the pool so guests can visit while still keeping an eye on the pool activities.
The open and airy kitchen has all the usual amenities including a large refrigerator with water/ice dispenser, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. There are loads of pots, pans, flatware, plates and glasses for most occasions. Given the central location of the kitchen, the chef will never feel left out of the action and the large island breakfast bar allows others to help with preparation or just swap stories.
In the hallway there is a linen closet that includes beach towels, extra bath towels, bed linens and a vacuum cleaner.
Attached to the kitchen is the sunroom which has a dinette table that seats six, a well stocked book case, a TV visible from the sun room and kitchen as well as another sofa and loveseat that overlooks the pool area as well as the water.
The atrium room is a large 600 square foot room that has a tinted glass ceiling, a wall of sliding screen doors, as well as wall to wall patio doors to the living room, kitchen, dining room and one of the bedrooms. The screen doors can be pushed back to the sides so there is an uninterrupted view of the pool, backyard and the water. The bank of screen doors, vented roof and a ceiling fan help to keep the room cooler. This room is perfect for dining outside or relaxing on the contemporary 5 seat sectional.
Relax and Enjoy
There is plenty of room outside around the large, private pool that is heated both by a solar cover (on a roller for easy on/off) and a pool heater. Gentle steps and a hand rail provide easy access into the pool. Relax, read a book or nap in the sun on one of the many lounge chairs or enjoy an al fresco meal at one of the tables and chairs around the pool. What's for dinner? Maybe the catch of the day caught right off the dock or one of the local fish shops prepared on the Webber gas grill? If it's the chef's night off, head out to one of Marco's numerous restaurants.
Regardless of whether you're planning an active or relaxing vacation, we'll do our best to ensure you'll enjoy your stay.

This video is a mass collection of Thin Lizzy videos. It stars in the Eric Bell era with "Rocker" and "Wiskey in a Jar", travels through the Gorham Robertson era with "The Boys are back in Town", "Jailbreak", "Don't Believe a Word", "Bad Reputation", "Dancing in the Moonlight", and "Rosalie(live)". Then it is off to the Gorham Moore days with "Waiting for an Alabi", "Do Anything You Want", and "Sarah". Lastly the Gorham White team on "Chinatown" and "Killer on the Loose". Lynott joins Moore's solo cut "Out in the Fields", and lastly a collection of video clips to the Gogham and Downey remake of the Late Philip Lynott's "Dedication". The Last days of the band with Gorham and Sykes have no video footage. Most of the videos have a relaxed atmosphere with Goham taking over the vocals at the end of "Sarah" as a joke on studio videos. The drum guitar footage betwwen Gorham and Downey is great on "Chinatown" and Gary Moore cuts it up (pure speed) on the solo for "Out in the Fields" with camera angles down and up the neck of his guitar.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
While looking through the reviews, I noticed that all of the reviews were written by americans and most were not complimentary. You dont seem to realise that Thin Lizzy were pioneers and their music was conceived when our country was in the deepest of deppressions. So picture this, you are living in a small island, an island with a tiny income, an island with a backward industrial system, an island with massive unemployment and an island with outward emmigration so high that the population of ireland had not grewsince before the great famine! (Phil Lynott was actually born when his mother was in england looking for work).And then Thin Lizzy emerge, a group of extremly talented musicians, fronted by the showman and patriot, Phil Lynott. This does not happen often, when these individuals meet and produce music of the caliber contained in dedication. Thin Lizzy were the light at the end of the tunnel for several million Irish. And in further defence of the group, I recall that someone accused Thin Lizzy of being Folk Rock… But that is exactly what they are musicians for the folks, musicians for the people, musicians for the Irish. And so I draw my review to a conclusion, that my review is an imposter, it really is a patriotic message for people to understand that Thin Lizzy were much more than musicians.
This video captures the essence of one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. It features vintage Lizzy tracks like "The Rocker" and rocks through all the hits, including "Boys are Back in Town", "Bad Reputation", and several others. Great footage of Scott Durham and Eric Bell's dualing guitar stage antics, and of course, Phil Lynott's tough, charismatic stage persona. A must for anyone who likes real rock and roll. END
Thin Lizzy went through several changes in their style through the years. Unfortunately, the Eric Bell years are only represented by Whiskey in the Jar and The Rocker on this collection. Both are great songs and deserve to be on their greatest hits but there are many more songs from their first three albums that belong also. The two songs that are the most out of place are "Showdown" and "Still in Love With You". They are good songs however they are the slowest of the collection. For those only familiar with Thin Lizzy from "The Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak", there are plenty of selections showcasing the twin guitar sound that made Gorham and Robertson famous. If you enjoy that sound you will love "Fighting My Way Back", "Bad Reputation", "Waiting for an Alibi" and "Don't Believe a Word". I would not want to be the one to decide what songs made it on a Thin Lizzy greatest hits collection because I could never narrow it down to just one CD. The one thing I would add is at least one or two live cuts. Thin Lizzy was a great live act(from what I have heard-I was too young to see them) and many great live tracks can be found on other collections and on their two live albums. For those who are Thin Lizzy fans and have some of their albums, the British version of "Dedication" contains some nice surprises and offers up a different selection.
This is a good selection of Thin Lizzy songs for any newcomer. If, however, you are a Thin Lizzy fan you realize there is a lot of great music that did not make this disc. Thin Lizzy, despite enjoying broad popularity is still more of a cult band. This could easily have been a two disc set, but this represents more of what someone must believe to be the bands "hits". If you would like a sampling of the band this is a fair place to start, but better yet I would advise you to try BAD REPUTATION, JAILBREAK, THUNDER & LIGHTNING, CHINA TOWN, or RENEGADE.There are tracks from the guitarist that played with the band during the Decca and Mercury years here, from Eric Bell, Gorham & Robertson, and then sadly enough dropping off the Warner Bros. releases, which featured Snowy White, Gary Moore, Midge Ure, and John Sykes. The fact that the WB songs aren't here, save "Chinatown", is what makes this a weak collection. The songs that are here are good, but the band has so much more killer material that just isn't here.So, if you have to have everything, this is a must. If you want to sample Thin Lizzy, this is a good start. If you are looking for a more definitive Thin Lizzy disc, please try one of the afore mentioned discs. Be careful, though, it is easy to become addicted to the lyrics, singing, and twin lead guitars that Thin Lizzy offers.

My plan was to stay here for three weeks but after the first days I got enough. The location is far away from everything, the closest supermarket is 30 min walk and it's actually pretty far to the beach too. The worst part is that I couldn't get my money back. I paid them for two weeks in advance but when I wanted to leave they told me that it was impossible to get my money back. I lost 120€ because of that. But mainly I don't recommend this hostel because of the unfamiliar atmosphere!

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'combinatorics' tag.
A couple of months ago I discussed a method to reduce a dynamical problem (computing the maximal rotation number of a prescribed element in a free group given the rotation numbers of the generators) to a purely combinatorial one. Now Alden Walker and I have uploaded our paper, entitled "Ziggurats and rotation numbers", to the arXiv.
The purpose of this blog post (aside from continuing the trend of posts titles containing the letter "Z") is to discuss a very interesting conjecture that arose in the course of writing this paper. The conjecture does not need many prerequisites to appreciate or to attack, and it is my hope that some smart undergrad somewhere will crack it. The context is as follows.

Web Semantics 101
Say you wanted to know where the last three best actor winners were born. You might start by searching on Google for a list of best actor award winners and then consult Wikipedia to determine where these individuals were born. What if you could ask the same question to a search engine and receive a precise answer? The above example highlights the key difference between conventional keyword based search and semantic search. Under keyword search, crawlers analyze web page content based on the frequency of keywords and the number of inbound links. Under semantic search, crawlers analyze information categorized by individuals. Artificially intelligent algorithms then use search queries to recognize relationships between user defined hierarchies to return more precise information. Seem like science fiction, a few companies like Wolfram Alpha and Hakia are allready pioneering a smarter way to organize and search for information. Once perfected, semantic search will have profound implications for how B2C and B2B media companies organize and present data to customers.

Gov. Dannel Malloy's office said he will reimburse People magazine for the costs associated with his attendance to the White House Correspondents Dinner.
"To remove a needless distraction when there is far more important public policy issues to deal with, Gov. Malloy has made the decision to personally reimburse People magazine for the costs of his attendance at theWhite House Correspondents Dinner," Malloy's office said in a statement.
Malloy's office said he wrote a personal check for $1,234.62 to cover the cost.
"I just decided to cut the whole thing off. I wrote out a check," he said. "That's what I did."
The payment was made after questions were raised as to whether that the People magazine payment would have been ethical.
"(Malloy) attended the event in his official capacity and used the opportunity to advance Connecticut's interests," Malloy's office said. "The governor's office accepted People magazine's gift in order to relieve taxpayers of the cost. Instead of shifting the cost to the taxpayers, the governor is personally paying the cost."
Eyewitness News reached out to People magazine for a comment and they issued the following statement:
"With all eyes on the tragedy in Newtown, a story that People readers care deeply about and that People has been covering intensively, we saw Gov. Malloy as someone suddenly playing on a larger stage - someone interesting to our readers, our editors and other guests," said Betsy Gleick, who is the executive editor for People.
However, Senate Minority Leader John McKinney goes as far as to say the governor took an "illegal gift."
"Here, we got no information. He hid it. He didn't tell us he was going," said McKinney, who is rumored to be running for governor next year. "He didn't tell us who was paying for it. That tells you that they, internally, viewed this very differently."
However, Malloy responded to McKinney's comments at a press conference Thursday evening.
"Sen. McKinney says a lot of things and I just decided to head the whole thing off rather than take away from important work, for instance education reform that has to be done," Malloy said.
Malloy did admit going to the black tie event last weekend may not have been the best decision.
"My staff makes a lot of decisions about where I go and this was thought because of what we're trying to do on digital media, as well as public policy on other issues, that were referenced in the press release, that this was a good idea," he said. "In retrospect, [I] probably shouldn't have done it."
The governor said he believes writing the check ends any questions and he will not be asking a citizens's ethics board for their opinion.
"The fact that he's repaid the money, doesn't close the books entirely. That's not how our society works," McKinney said. "You can't do something wrong and then not be held accountable for it just because you paid back the money."

Click here to see the facts >
Even as you read this, there are a lot of parents out there that are trying to figure out how to explain to their children why their homes are being taken away. There are also hordes of very hard working Americans that are incredibly frustrated because they have sent out thousands of resumes and yet they can't seem to get a job interview.
Have you ever been at a point where you couldn't pay the mortgage or put food on the table for your family? It can be an absolutely soul-crushing experience. In fact, there are some cities in the U.S. that have been so utterly devastated by this economy that it seems as though virtually everyone has had the hope sucked right out of them.
The mainstream media is trying to convince all of us that we are in an economic recovery, but that is a lie. The truth is that we are in the middle of a long-term economic decline and the greatest economy in the history of the world is dying right in front of our eyes.
The average American family is under more economic stress right now than at any other time since the Great Depression.

At Tuesday nights commission meeting, the Panama City City Commission voted to name the very park he started his neighborhood watch after Mr. Bobby Tyson for his work in the community. Panama city Police Chief Scott Ervin is familiar with Mr. Tyson and says he's deserving of this honor.
"He is definitely deserving of any kind of recognition," said Ervin. "We gave him an award as a department about a year ago for his efforts and so forth.
"He was very prolific again in his neighborhood watch and very active in the community in trying to address any concerns from a neighborhood perspective."
Mr. Tyson has earned the respect of neighbors and others near the Oak Hammock drive community. In fact, it was his neighbors who initially approached the commission about naming Oak Hammock park after Mr. Tyson. The commission voted unanimously to change the park to Bobby Tyson park.
Also at Tuesdays meeting the commission approved a condition use permit for a property in Millville off Watson Bayou across from Cactus Avenue.
The property currently sits vacant and is home to several derelict vessels. Developers plan to start construction of dry docks and medical offices within the next 60 days.
"During the property boom there was a lot of discussion about great things happening on the water front over there and everything kind of just peadered out," said Commissioner John Kady. "Now we are starting to see some things come back and there is an incredible need in the community for dry storage of boats, I hear that all the time, and to have it in Millville and on the waterfront is great."
The commission also proposed a millage rate of 3.8723. A rollback rate for the city. The commission will vote to approve this rate during a special meeting in the upcoming weeks.
