Homeless charity blown away by words of Wellington School student
12:00pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Matthew Colledge
THE stirring words of a Wellington School student will be used to help raise awareness of homelessness across the country.
Year 11 student Charlie Pemberton made quite an impression on homeless charity Shelter, when she sang Franz Schubert's Ave Maria at its carol service at St Martin in the Fields in London, before making an impassioned speech about the plight of the homeless.
Shelter's chief executive, Campbell Rob, was so moved by Charlie's speech that it will be used on the front page of the charity's website across the whole of England.
Martin Reader, headmaster at Wellington School, said: "Charlie has raised a considerable amount of money for Shelter and helped to raise awareness for the charity.
"We are proud that the charity has recognised her contribution and dedication by putting her on the front page of their website.
"She is one of our superb choristers, so her lovely voice in the church of St Martin in the Field would have been a great inspiration".
Charlie said: "It was a truly uplifting experience to sing in such an auspicious venue for a worthwhile cause."

A Scottsdale restaurant is trying to repair its image after a disastrous appearance on the FOX TV show Kitchen Nightmares. It led to a worldwide backlash.
There was hate mail, threats, and nasty messages on Facebook from as far away as Europe.
People just couldn't believe how they treated their customers and employees. But now, they're trying to take their first step at redemption.
Amy's hired a well-known public relations firm to orchestrate its grand re-opening. Supposedly the restaurant was overwhelmed with reservation requests, due to all the drama surrounding the show.
Amy on Kitchen Nightmares: "Listen to me when I'm talking to you. Don't walk away from me, you don't work here anymore. Ok, don't start crying, why are you behaving like this? Oh my God!"
The show was unforgettable. For the first time ever, Gordon Ramsay walked out. But tonight, with security guards at the ready, Amy's Bakery is back.
"I was expecting to see Amy come out or Samy screaming yelling. We didn't see too much of that. Samy seemed pretty nice," says guest Allison Lunsford.
"The staff kind of seemed on edge and Samy was running around like a madman," says Desma Xayarath.
As for the food?
"It was good. I liked it." says Lunsford. "The dessert was ok."
"It tasted like it was frozen and defrosted. I got the garlic chicken pizza and the chicken tasted frozen," says Xayarath.
Customers who came looking for drama left disappointed.
"I wanted it to be a circus. I think that is all planned, a genius marketing campaign that has gone every way in their direction," says Ricky Potts.
With onlookers peering in and security guards waiting outside, the dining experience seemed a little strange.
"What I think is ridiculous about it is that there are there are so many people out there that are leaving reviews on Yelp that haven't been there. They don't live in Arizona, they haven't been to the restaurant and they are leaving all these hateful reviews," says Sheryl Hugill.
On Kitchen Nightmares, everyone was stunned to learn that the wait staff never saw any of the tips. But things seemed to have changed.
"We asked the servers first if they were going to get them and they said they all split it so that is why we tipped," says Lunsford.
The restaurant wouldn't allow any cameras inside. In fact media was banished to the street.
Normally I wouldn't do this, but one of the people we talked offered me a slice of pizza that she didn't like, and I gave it a try. It wasn't bad – but then you never really have pizza you don't like, right?

Pours a solid black color with a deep brown around the edges. Quickly dissipating, tan head that is easy to bring back with a swirl of the glass thanks to the carbonation. The initial smell is burnt coffee beans, roasted malts, and barley. The smell is very subdued and hard to pick up on at first. You really have to let this one warm up a little bit, otherwise it's hard to smell anything. Taste follows through with a initial hit of bitterness and faint floral notes, but the roasted malt flavors are heavy and so it's easy to taste the bitterness but miss the hops. There are definitely some oats in the background that really come through at the end. Overall, your mouth is left with a nice bittersweet toasted malt flavor. A bit of oatmeal here, a bit of coffee beans there. This brew is pretty thick and creamy on the mouth with just a slight carbonation bite.
Overall, a reasonably decent oatmeal stout, fairly standard. It's not incredibly flavorful or unique, but it's highly sessionable at 4.9% ABV. Balanced well with bitterness and sweetness, just nothing exciting going on, really. A little above average I'd say, but not much to see here.

Poured a black body with minimal white head that stuck around while drinking. Looks good and had a coffeeish aroma while smelling. The taste fit the smell-coffee and a little unsweetened chocolate. I enjoyed the taste but there was a mild burnt/roast flavor that gave a little unpleasant harshness on the finish. There were minimal hop aromas to speak of but the hop bitterness added to the burnt floavor of the coffee which increased the harsher flavor. Mouthfeel was fairly smooth and enjoyable. Overall, I thought this was a pretty decent beer but not extraordinary although I would drink it again.

A - Black unless held up to bright light - then it is a dark brown. Even the bright light only comes through as though you are looking at thinned molasses. Thin, quickly fading, rich tan head with some lacing.
S - Big coffee with a mild bittersweet chocolate/toffee in the end. The coffee is what keeps with you.
T - All that coffee from the smell is easily found on the palette and the chocolate/toffee is just as mild. If you do not enjoy black coffee (by nose or taste) you would most likely not be a fan of this one.
M - Creamy stout goodness.
D - Yep - sure is, at least for the stout drinkers.
While writing this review, I keep going back to the glass for more smell and taste and I just notice that this is easily more than half empty now. I am quite enjoying this stout and will have to keep this on the list to watch for in the stores. This came from a Breckenridge sample pack that was on sale.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown black with a medium dark brown head that goes to a thin film and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is lactose and some roasted / charred (plastic) chocolate malts and a bit of grain.
The flavor is acidic roasted malts and some sweet chocolate with a bit of bitter char in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation and slightly watery.
Overall, reminded me a bit of the Crabtree version. Pretty bland with some off notes. The sweetness and char didn't mix well.

This is deep dark black with a small coffee-colored head. It looks like just fantastic, kind of like a cappacino! The smell is of oatmeal (not too strong) and malt. The taste is quite smooth with oatmeal and chocolate flavors.
This is a drinkable stout and I'm afraid I could drink far too many in one sitting.
The brew doesn't have a lot of different flavors but it certainly is a decent stout and worth a try.

12 oz bottle pours an ebony and opaque body with a one finger khaki head that retains well. Patch lace is quite prevalent on the sides of the glass. Aroma is subdued for a stout, with hints of sweet chocolate and smoked almonds. Mouthfeel is silky and smooth, with a light medium body and moderate carbonation. Taste is smooth, but lacking richness. Chocolate and coffee flavors are present, but very little dark roastiness. Hops are vague, but add a nice balance. Very average, overall.

Poured the beer into a pint glass. Pours black with a quarter inch brown head. Foam does not last through the beer.
Smells of toasted malts. A little sweet.
Heavy-bodied with a heavy smoky taste to it. There is some bitterness at the end. In my opinion, not very smooth. The smokiness can be a little over-powering.

Taste: Big chocolaty start followed by oats, then roasted malt.
Mouthfeel: medium/heavy body, moderate/high carbonation, seeet start that becomes roasty and more bitter

22oz. bomber poured into pint glass.
Black color, tan head with a decent lacing left behind. Coffee and chocolate in the smell, nothing overpowering or remarkable. Taste is much of the same, but a little better. I'm just looking for a little more to it. Mouthfeel is slick and smooth, but still a little on the thin side. Pretty good to have once in a while but one is enough. Worthy of trying, you may love it.

Thanks to my Dad for sharing this beer.
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt with some chocolate. It smells a lot like I expect an Oatmeal Stout to smell. The flavor is roasted and burnt malt with some chocolate and oats. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A: completely opaque black with a darker tan head that actually got lighter in color as the beer sat. The head stuck around through the drink and there was some decent lacing
S: not at all what I was expecting. This has a great nose as coffee does not overpower which is sometimes common with stouts. Rather there is a malty sweetness and an earthy, floral hop aroma. This smells awesome.
T: wow, starts with a malty sweetness that is quickly cut by the hoppy bitterness. This fades to a nutty biscuit flavor in the middle and the coffee notes don't come in till late. It ends with a subtly sweetness that is fruity in character. No real oatmeal character, that just helps to polish it all together.
M: very smooth and full-bodied. The reason oatmeal stouts are my favorite stouts is because the mouthfeel that the oats impart. It is thick and chewy but slick at the same time. This is great
D: Ill have another please. As far as oatmeal stouts goes... this is up there, way up there!

Single bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo - never had anything from Breckenridge before, so I thought I'd give them a try.
Poured into a small nonic. Chestnut-black in colour, pours somewhat thin. I have to say the head on this was quite impressive - thick and bubbly, lots of sticky lace. Survives as a thick ring.
Nose is coffee, cola, nuts, sweet malt and maybe a bit of roasted character.
Tastes fine. Incredibly easy to drink, very smooth. Initially quite sweet and malty, before the smokey, bitter finish takes over. Not what I expected - tastes a great deal like a porter.
The feel is what really sets this brew back - it doesn't feel like an oatmeal stout, or any kind of stout. It is quite thin and watery, giving it a feel much more akin to a porter.
A decent tasting oatmeal stout, something I certainly can see myself drinking again, and several at a time at that. However, it just doesn't taste or feel like an oatmeal stout, and so the scores reflect that.

served from a 12oz brown bottle with a crimped cap into a nonic glass. Opaque,black with barley a 1" tan/mocha head that dissapated like a soda.Had some thin sticky spot lacing.
Moderate aromas roasty,black coffe and some chocolate.
Very roasty taste with dried rolled oats was smokey/burnt wiht a earthy/mineral taste.Clean mid-taste with a moderatly sharp dry,bitter,woody finish.
Very light mouthfeel on the watery side with a slight amount of cloying.Was bland not interesting at all. Not interested in another. Looked really flat halfway through.. My first beer from this brewery,hope this isn't one of their better offerings.

Had the beer at Flying Saucer in Houston, Texas.
Very good beer and definitely one of my more favorable stouts.
Dark beer with a nice creamy dark head. Very full bodied beer thats easy to drink.
I was very pleased with this beer. I do enjoy Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout and Young's but I would have to say this beer easily contends with those beers.

On tap poured into an 8oz glass.
Pours a very dark ruby brown with a one finger dark brown head that is very fine and creamy. Nose is dry and roasty not a whole lot.
Taste is bitter and dry with a sharp and coffee like finish that lingers for a while. Mouthfeel is a bit light and overly carbonated for me. Overall its decent but not special.

When I first read about this spy case involving the classic honey trap I immediately wondered why the Chinese woman was not arrested?
HONOLULU — U.S. officials say the 27-year-old university student from China started a relationship with a civilian defense contractor more than twice her age and then found out classified information on U.S. nuclear weaponry, missile defenses and war plans.
But is she a spy?
It is clear the Justice Department believes the woman's boyfriend broke the law, but the criminal complaint that outlines the charges against him never formally accuses her of any crime. It just paints a picture of a young woman who seems to be involved in espionage.
A Justice Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing says the government knows the woman's location and is continuing to investigate her role. Her identity and whereabouts haven't been released, and U.S. authorities also haven't said publicly whether they believe she is working for the Chinese government.
She lives in the United States as a student on a J-1 visa, according to an affidavit the FBI filed this week by the FBI in U.S. District Court in Honolulu.
Her boyfriend, Benjamin Bishop, a 59-year-old civilian defense contractor who works at Pacific Command, met the woman at a Hawaii conference on military defense issues.
The counterintelligence agent investigating Bishop said the woman may have been at the conference specifically to meet people like Bishop, who work with and have access to certain classified information, the affidavit said. [Stars and Stripes]

The Age-Productivity Gradient: Evidence from a Sample of F1 Drivers
AbstractAging is a global phenomenon. If older individuals are less productive, an aging working population can lower aggregate productivity, economic growth and fiscal sustainability. Therefore, understanding the age-productivity gradient is key in a aging society. However, estimating the effect of aging on productivity is a daunting task. First, it requires clean measures of productivity. Wages are not such measures to the extent that they reward other workers attributes than their productivity. Second, unobserved heterogeneity at workers, firms and workers/firms level challenges the identification of the age-productivity gradient in cross-sectional data. Longitudinal data attenuate some identification issues, but give rise to the problem of partialling out the effect of aging from the pure effect of time. Third, the study of the age-productivity link requires investigating the role of experience and of seniority. We tackle these issues by focussing on a sample of Gran Prix Formula One drivers and show that the age-productivity link has an inverted U-shape profile, with a peak at around the age of 30-32.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
At this time of year when it is impractical to go dory rowing about 4/7 of the week due to wind, I spend time at the YMCA. So do a lot of other people.
The Y has a perfectly good, and warm, swimming pool. The gym and fitness areas are fine and I see a lot of use of the event areas for classes and birthday parties. The Y has expanded their activities to adjacent buildings on Middle and Center streets.
The place needs more investment in paint and polish and tile and modern utilities, but is not bad at all.
I hear complaints about parking for the Y but do not have trouble myself. If I do not take the bus, there are usually free parking spaces on Prospect Street near Ben's, or in the Proctor Street lot.
Speaking of getting to the Y by bus or walking to it, particularly for the children who walk or bike, the present location is far more convenient than Fuller would be.
The Y is nonprofit, and I suspect the only way they would get the Fuller property is if they lease it from the city and leave some of the space for city offices.
That said, I do not understand why we would build a new West Parish and dispose of Fuller instead of putting the West Parish and Veterans students in Fuller and using Veterans for city offices that we are presently renting at the "City Hall Annex" on Pond Road.
I think using Fuller as a school should be on any referendum. It was extremely well built and is newer than some of the elementary schools that the School Committee likes.
We seem to be committed to a system of "suburban" schools to which all the children who live in the inner city are bused, since we closed all the schools downtown long ago. The closest one is Veterans in Ward 1, and, from Gorton's to the Fishermen's Memorial to Grant Circle to Fuller, there is no public elementary school. Children are bused to Plum Cove in Lanesville from the Grove Street and Maplewood Avenue area.
Does this make sense? Is this the system the School Committee wants to lock us into?

Lords vote to scrap Agricultural Wages Board (From South West Farmer)

Lords vote to scrap Agricultural Wages Board
10:00am Thursday 7th March 2013 in News
The House of Lords has voted 192-163 to abolish the Agricultural Wages Board.
At present, the Agricultural Wages Board (AWB) sets the minimum wage and other terms and conditions of employment for workers employed in agriculture.
The government's plans form part of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill, which was being debated for a third day at report stage.
Business Minister Viscount Younger of Leckie told the House: "It is widely accepted that the legislation which underpins the Agricultural Wages Board is outdated and hampers the ability of the industry to offer more modern, flexible employment packages."
He stressed that "there is no reason why they should be treated differently" to other employees, who are subject to the national minimum wage.
For the opposition, former rural affairs minister Lord Whitty asserted that "the burden of administration on farmers is actually less under the Agricultural Wages Board.
"Money will not come out of the pockets of farm workers and into the pockets of farmers - it will go out of the rural communities entirely and into the pockets of supermarkets," Lord Whitty added.

Town Square
Comments/reactions from MI meeting?
Original post made by Tyler Hanley on May 31, 2007
on May 31, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Hey, I'll go.
MI choice keeps getting less and less popular. Lots of angry parents tonight, neither the professional facilitator, the charms of Susan Charles, nor the lecture on being a model of civility for other districts from Mary Alice Callan did the trick.
Though it did make me feel 16 again, during my antiauthoritarian punk phase. Given Callan's reputation, I found her self-righteousness pretty amusing.
People asked hard questions of the district lawyers, Callan and the finance guy. Lots of hedging.
Most interesting part to me were the comments of parents who sent their kids to charter schools in other districts. They made it clear that it's not simply a case of the district ceding all control--things are negotiated and charters can be a good answer.
The overall attempt seemed to be to make the charter as big and scary as possible. People weren't buying it.
It's become quite clear that for the district, it's not really the money, it's the lack of control and the ignominy of the charter taint.
I don't think they realized that we non-educators don't view it that way.
Lots of ugly possibilities raised about the future of Ohlone--after three years, the school will hit 500. At which point, the district could make the school even bigger; transfer MI--though where?; or "merge" some of it into Ohlone--i.e. effectively removing some of the Ohlone strands.
Tonight Susan Charles was talking about just 80 students, a couple of weeks ago at the board meeting, she was talking about managing a campus of 620. Which is it, guys?
My favorite flawed assumption was from the finance guy who assumed that PiE donations would grow, that the money in the district is a given. Ohlone, for example, could use its PiE money to make up the MI costs.
Note to finance guy, doesn't work if PiE donations drop, does it?
Much as the fecklessness of the board irritates me, at least they lack of the arrogance of the PAUSD school bureaucracy.
on Jun 1, 2007 at 12:24 am
Susan Charles on 80 vs. 620 students:
80 = # of MI students after 3 years
620 = 4 strands English = 1 strand Mandarin after 6 years (and toss in SDC).
Jerry Matranga was accurate in reporting sources of discretionary funds to schools (PiE, PTA, SIP, categorical) but he incorrectly gave the impression that PiE would be used for excess MI costs. Excess MI costs, by policy, must come from MI parent fundraising/donations. (He mentioned the donations, but didn't tie them to excess costs.) The discretionary funds would be spent as the principal/site council determine -- for Ohlone students in general.
I think it's basically correct that the district does not want to lose control, but perhaps not so much losing control of what the charter does as losing control of what the district must do. There's a lot of burden that would be put on administrators at Churchill to provide the oversight/evaluation of charters, required by law. This is year after year after year stuff for the life of the charter. I didn't see the responses of lawyers and administratrators as hedging. I think they were explaining it the way they see it.
on Jun 1, 2007 at 1:40 am
Tonight Susan Charles talked as if 500 were the real cap. Two weeks ago, the number seemed to be 620--i.e. MI stays as one strand at Ohlone.
At this point, it's all a lose-lose proposition. At 620, Ohlone is severely overcrowded, but there are unlikely to be anywhere near enough MI spots to meet the demand.
And we simply get the charter threat again. There's nothing binding anybody.
I assume the real plan is to toss MI onto Garland while Susan Charles gets kudos for getting Grace Mah off the district's back.
As for the district losing control--it already lost control. Caving into demands for an unpopular program that overcrowds a school demonstrates that.
I mean when you get Callan ordering adults to behave civilly and Susan Charles preaching on how everyone needs to let go of their anger and be a community, the horses have left the gate.
The anger is there and it's not going to go away because Churchill wishes it would. The grievance is real--we *are* being pushed around by a small group. Our strong support of public schools is being exploited.
People want the board to fight and the board (and Churchill)seems to think it shouldn't because it will lose. There's a basic split.
There's little point of talking peace, when people want justice.
One won't answer for the other.

Petition to Remodel Wireless Carrier ETF
In the past few years there has been a lot of conversation regarding the validity and ethical application of early termination fees tied to wireless service contracts. In the past, if a wireless subscriber had a ETF of $200 for a 2 year contract, they would have to pay the entire amount whether they terminated service in month 2 or 22. Since 2007, 3 of the top 4 wireless have adopted new policies that allow for minimal proration of the ETF over the span of the contract, but it's not enough of a revise. Check out my blog via the link, below, to read more about that topic. http://wirelessaficionado.blogspot.com This petition is to propose a new, more consumer friendly alternative to current ETF policies, ...one of "true proration". Please, review the breakdown as follows. $200 ETF for a 2-year agreement. $200 divided by 24 months = $8.33 per month This is a true equivalent proration. If you agree with the aforementioned proposal, please sign this petition and share it with any and everyone you know. Thank you. Danny West Consumer Advocacy Action Group

Bin Laden's Dirty Underwear and Civilian-Based Defense
by Jay Daverth, PhD, Wed Jun 16, 2010 at 09:04:34 AM EDT
When you fly trans-Atlantic as frequently as I do, the trips tend to blur into one another. One constant, however, is the frenetic and arbitrary suspicion I encounter at the U.S. entry points. Be it drug-sniffing dogs, the Egyptian stamps in my passport, or the general contemptuous stares from under-trained TSA yahoos, there may as well be a sign above the jet bridge reading "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." Add the TSA's plan to capture and track your airport movements through your personal gadgets, an air marshal program that costs approximately $200 million per arrest (the marshals themselves have been arrested with far higher frequency), the constant pillaging of our first, fourth and fifth amendment rights, and our $30 billion annual losses of public and private funds (countless billions more in its assault on the tourism industry), and you've got a boondoggle of paranoia combined with egregious corporate cronyism to produce a system whose expense is exceeded only by its utter uselessness.
Festering underneath all of this is the industries' dirty little secret that for all reforms elsewhere in law enforcement and intelligence, airport security is running the exact same playbook that failed so miserably to prevent 9/11. You can put as many badges and blue uniforms you want on them, but the TSA are nothing more than the same old cast of players, spasmodically trying to dazzle us with their shiny new (yet demonstrably ineffective) props while phoning-in dialogue from the same, tired script. This kind of expensive theater may have been appropriate in the weeks and months following 9/11, but it's time we grow up. The bottom-line is that none of this Madison-Avenue bravado is helping to capture actual terrorists - nay, of the 29,000 or so arrests from the DHS, nearly all were for unrelated charges such as counterfeiting, narcotics, and child pornography. Of the average 50 or so of those arrested annually on "terrorist-related" activities (based on incredibly broad metrics) culminating in convictions, nearly all have resulted from investigations operating well outside airport jurisdictions.

"GREAT flavor with these mushrooms, HUGE slices, we took them on a BWCA trip a couple weeks ago, and they were a hit! One hint, they take a little longer to absorb water than the spinach or other freeze-dried veggies. We liked them best when we added the water at least an hour before using, or even overnite for use with scrambled eggs in the morning. We plan to order more of these and vacuum-seal them for longer term storage."

The Penn State community was rocked by scandal over the course of the past week as numerous allegations of child sex abuse were levied against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. And while the students took criticism for Wednesday night's "riots," or protest following the announcement that Joe Paterno was fired, they deserve praise for what's planned on Friday.
Instead of the traditional Friday night pep rally, the students reportedly plan to hold a candlelight vigil.
#PSU students canceled pep rally tomorrow, have candlelight vigil for victims. Expecting 8,000-10,000
Additionally, those coming to Saturday's game against Nebraska were asked to wear blue to raise awareness for child abuse. Where Wednesday night's rally was ugly and destructive, Friday's planned candlelight vigil presents an opportunity for the Penn State students and community to begin the healing process and focus on what's important here: the victims.

Like the stainless tops, these tops are great for chimneys that have multiple, odd-sized, or unlined flues and also come with a Lifetime Warranty.
Copper Tops are constructed of 100% copper, have a 18-ga. screen at a height of 8" with 3/4"mesh, and the lid is 24-ga. copper. The only things that are not copper are the screws and base which are copper coated stainless steel for added strength.
As copper caps weather, they take on a unique, antiqued look. If you don't like the green "antiqued look", you can purchase our protective coating.
These tops also come with a lifetime warranty. Masonry fasteners and mounting adhesive are included with each top.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Located on the north side of Lumpe Tower is a steep, hidden wall with several worthwhile routes, and it is described in Rossiter's Eldo guide on p.338. Not to be confused with one of the quality routes on the wall, Cinders And Saints lies 10 feet left of Fanning the Flame, or about 25 feet left of Burning Desire. It is the left-most route on the cliff. Begin in a small right-facing corner with a crack, left of a pine tree. Climb the overhanging corner on jug pockets for at least five feet of flaky fun, then grovel upward finishing in a lichenous crack and groove.
A few small to medium cams and a selection of nuts.

Leneda Jones, founder of the organization, is hopeful that this year will be an even bigger success than past years. This year's honorary chairman for the event is Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair.
Jones said they asked Adair to chair the event because of his dedication to the children of Walker County through his efforts to bring a Child Advocacy Center to the county.
"I am honored," Adair said. "This is a great organization, and I support them 100 percent. I really admire what they are doing."
Backyard Blessings is a nonprofit group, based in Sumiton, which provides food for needy school children in the area. The group has assisted children at Sumiton, Cordova and T.S. Boyd elementary schools for the last two years and last year expanded into Jasper's T.R. Simmons and Memorial Park elementary schools as well. Jones said that Backyard Blessings distributed 13,283 bags of food to children in five area schools last year.
There will be a children's area with an inflatable jungle slide and bounce house and a screen will be set up to show the animated movie "Monsters University."
The Home Depot will also be there with their kids workshop set up.
As always, there will be a variety of food, snow-cones and popcorn. There will also be a music stage set up to showcase a variety of local musical talents.
Chavis Williams will be at the festival to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, and due to her popularity last year, the Face-Painting Fairy will once again be on hand to decorate faces.
This year will also feature a new "Local Authors" booth where approximately six local book authors will speak.
Backyard Blessings will begin taking applications for students the first week of school, and their first food distribution will be the first week of September.
For more information, or to donate to Backyard Blessings, contact Jones at 544-9094 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 129, Sumiton, AL 35148.

Councillors raise questions over fire station's future
3:00pm Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
Councillors have called for clarification on the future of Burnham's fire service.
Mike Wood raised the issue at Burnham Town Council after contacts told him of "widespread reduction of the fire service in the Dengie" and "talk of a station being created in Southminster and this one in Burnham being closed."
The fire service told the Standard there are no plans to change fire cover in Burnham, Tillingham or the Dengie and no changes are planned for Burnham or Tillingham fire stations."
Councillors said comments by assistant divisional officer Simon Dedman that "there are no plans to alter the fire service cover in Burnham," did not guarantee the station will stay.

DALLAS –– The attorney representing Josh Brent filed a motion Tuesday asking the judge to toss out blood evidence taken after the former Cowboy allegedly crashed his car while intoxicated, resulting in the death of passenger and former teammate Jerry Brown Jr.
Brent, 25, is indicted for intoxication manslaughter in the December 8 crash in Irving. His lawyer, Dallas-based George Milner, argued that the Irving officer who took his client's blood did not secure a warrant before he did so, which violates Brent's constitutional rights.
"Notably, Officer (Kevin) Huckaby, though he could quite easily have done so, did not secure a search warrant to obtain a blood specimen," Milner writes in his motion. "He instead performed a warrantless, nonconsensual search of the blood of Mr. Brent."
Dallas County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Debbie Denmon declined to comment, citing a judge's ruling last week that restricts DA Craig Watkins and his staff from speaking about Brent's guilt or innocence.
Milner asked the judge to restrict the district attorney's speech regarding the case after Watkins' told 105.3 The Fan that "our position is that he should be incarcerated." He also alleged that Brent was still drinking and using drugs, both of which violated the conditions of his bond.
On June 27, Brent was rebooked into jail for violating his bond conditions. According to a court document, he tested positive for marijuana on June 19. On July 7, however, Judge Robert Burns freed him until his trial in September.
Milner's court order seeking the dismissal of the blood evidence argues that Ofc. Huckaby had ample time and resources to secure a warrant and should have done so before he took Brent's blood.
The order cites the recent Supreme Court ruling Missouri v. McNeely as precedent for dismissing the evidence.
"The Court included several factors for lower courts to consider, such as whether it is practical for an officer to obtain a search warrant within a time frame that still preserves the opportunity to obtain relevant evidence and whether the officer identifies any other factors that would cause 'an emergency or unusual delay in securing a warrant'," Milner writes in the order.
Brent's blood alcohol content ended up being .189, more than twice the legal limit of .08. Milner says the presence of emergency units who maintained traffic after the wreck and the on-call judges who can approve blood-draw warrants at all hours of the night means that Ofc. Huckaby did not exercise his due diligence before taking Brent's blood.
Brent's trial is scheduled for September 23. He announced his retirement from the NFL on July 18.

Recognized for Excellence in Bankruptcy – Your Financial Life-Saver TM
Chicago Foreclosure Lawyers
Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Trends: Defense, Loan Modification And Bankruptcy Remedies
By David Leibowitz
Homeowners fighting foreclosure want to keep their homes. The "Holy Grail" is the mortgage modification. Unfortunately, mortgage modifications, whether through the Obama mortgage modification program, the Home Affordable Mortgage Program, (HAMP), the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) or private non-HAMP or non-HARP mortgage modification agreements are all too rare and all too few.
Even worse, too many mortgage modification firms promise results that they can't deliver. Never pay a mortgage modification firm an upfront fee. You can get help from a HUD approved agency, which can be found at HUD.gov. At LakeLaw, our Chicago foreclosure lawyers will defend your case. If we are successful in your foreclosure defense, we might avoid a deficiency judgment against you. An attorney might also be able to negotiate a favorable modification to your mortgage. Law firms are not subject to regulation as a mortgage modification firm in either Illinois or Wisconsin.
Beware of anyone who promises you too much when defending against mortgage foreclosure.
Remember, mortgage servicers don't want to modify your loan. They want to foreclose. They make more money by foreclosing than modifying. Mortgage modification costs servicers money. Don't believe anyone who tells you anything different.
The Waukegan bankruptcy attorneys at LakeLaw have mediation experience. In 2009, LakeLaw became the only private law firm in Wisconsin to receive funding from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) to fight foreclosures. We've done so by advising clients across the state about their legal rights and responsibilities. We've also presented training sessions throughout Wisconsin to other attorneys and attended dozens of mediations in Milwaukee and Waukesha County on behalf of local homeowners.
When the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin was creating a pilot program with similar guidelines, they asked that LakeLaw appear along with other law firms providing guidance on the language and structure of the program.
Our Waukegan bankruptcy attorneys focus on two main avenues of financial freedom: consumer bankruptcy and foreclosure defense. LakeLaw can provide separate guidance on fighting the foreclosures. We can also appear on your behalf at the Kenosha/Racine mediations, providing advice and guidance through a complicated process against local and national banks.
Please call us at (262) 694-7300 to learn how we can help. We have two convenient Wisconsin offices to serve you.

The Kansas City Chiefs might not have much of a chance against the Green Bay Packers this weekend as the Pack continues its march toward an undefeated season. Not many folks are giving KC much of a chance to be the one to break it up.
The CBSSports.com experts all picked the Packers, obviously.
The ESPN experts all picked the Packers, obviously.
Peter King picked the Packers, obviously. And he feels bad for Romeo Crennel...
Just what every interim coach who wants to be a head coach wants to see for the first game of his three-game trial: Romeo Crennel's got the 13-0 Packers coming to Arrowhead Sunday. I don't see him being picked by Scott Pioli come January for a second stint as a head coach in the league, but Crennel has the kind of credibility with ownership and the GM -- and is well-respected enough in the locker room -- that a very good last 15 days of the season could get him on Pioli's finalist list.

We tend to think not. That's why the idea of a hanging cradle or bassinet sounds so inviting. According to moms who've used them, the cradles' natural swinging motion helps transition newborns from the womb to their nurseries more easily than a traditional crib. A baby's natural motion — those wiggles and jerks that babies can't control — power the cradles to help lull them to sleep. After seeing this home-sewn version on LightBlueGrey a while ago, I became intrigued by the beauty and functionality of the hanging cradle. Little did I know that there are so many options available. Click through to see 10 of my favorite, and tell me if you'd ever try one! Source: LightBlueGrey Leander Swinging Cradle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Leander Swinging Cradle ($247) is suspended from one point, making it easy to set it in motion. Best of all, the ability to hang it from their tripod makes it great for families that can't (or don't want to) install a hook in their ceiling. 1 / 10 VanJoost Noah Cradle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Designed by Joost van Veldhuizen, the VanJoost Noah Cradle (price upon request) is made from one piece of solid wood — much like Noah's Ark — from the designer's farm in the Dutch countryside. 2 / 10 Woodly Cradle Roll What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The contemporary Woodly Cradle Roll looks as sturdy as can be with its birch shell that supports a removable, washable wool felt nest. Best of all, the shell can be flipped and used as a kids' table when baby outgrows the cradle. 3 / 10 Hanging Cradle DIY Fabric Sewing Pattern What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Want to go it on your own? Try this Hanging Cradle DIY Fabric Sewing Pattern ($11) that can found on Etsy. It comes with a video to show you how to create a custom hanging cradle. 4 / 10 Fair Trade Hanging Cradle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You'll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful hanging cradle than this crocheted Fair Trade Hanging Cradle ($339). Braided by hand by women in Bangladesh, the cradle is made from organic cotton and uses an ecological mattress made from natural material and would look stunning in any room. 6 / 10 Kindekeklein Twin Cradle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kindekeklein's Twin Cradle ($332) allows twins to experience the soothing motion of the swinging cradle. This version has a removable gauze cot divider that allows the babies to smell and sense their wombmate without interrupting their sleep patterns. The twin cradles have canopies with dual openings, so one baby can accessed without disturbing the other. 6 / 10 Hushamok What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Though it can hang from the ceiling, the Hushamok ($195) has its own amazing stand ($300) that maximizes the experience for babies. With an innovative leafspring bounce that simulates the motion of the mother's womb and organic sheets and mattresses, the Hushamok is designed to provide an all-natural experience for baby. 7 / 10 The Kanoe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like a boat floating through your room, the Kanoe ($290) uses a special weight-calibration system to allow a three-dimensional range of motion. What this means for your tot? He'll benefit from movement that resembles the motion in Mom's womb. The Kanoe also forgoes a mattress by conforming to babies' natural shape. 8 / 10 Mod Squares Hanging Bassinet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Mod Squares Hanging Bassinet ($899) is a swinging basket that ensconces your baby in luxury. The wicker basket is outfitted in cream bedding with blue-and-red squares and an embroidered lighthouse for a sweet nautical look. 9 / 10 Crafts Collection Swing Low Cradle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The most modern swinging cradle we found, Crafts Collection's Swing Low Cradle (price upon request) is made from all-natural materials — wool felt sides — that help muffle noise while the baby is sleeping. The whole cradle can be folded up once baby's outgrown it. 11 / 10 3.6K 27 7 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Kid ShoppingNursery DecorBassinetCradleNursery What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Reactions Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

Now is a great time to build a nice low budget PC... there are an almost overwhelming number of options and DDR2 800 is dirt cheap!
Cheapest boxed AM2 dual-core is $60 and cheapest oem is $48 (newegg prices). About the same price as 2048mb of DDR2 800. That's a hell of a lot for $100. It indeed is a good time.
I don't think they would release these in the US market, most people in the US will either spend the extra money on a socket AM2 processor or go intel with the Pentium Dual-Core or Celeron Dual-Core. It's a crowded market on the low end of the dual core spectrum, so it would make more sense as a release in expanding markets.
That's logical.
Current speculation is that they will release the dual core sempron stateside. It might accidently be a better over clocker than the current X2s due to the lower cache. I've used the Semprons in value based non gaming rigs, they run pretty decent. With the current low prices of the low to mid range X2 I don't know that they'll get very high sales in the home builder market, but I'm sure you'll be seeing them in POS systems on the shelves of your local stores. They'll put any thing in those Mattel models.
I guess they might become popular (for an AMD chip anway) in generic PCs at the store. But most builders will ignore them, since the X2 3800 and 4000 are already around the $50 mark.
