Douro shines at Liftlock tournament with three teams
by Ben Clarke
Last weekend can be considered a successful one for local minor hockey teams competing in the 56th annual Peterborough Liftlock Atom Hockey Tournament.
The Douro Dukes sent three entries to the prestigious tournament, considered the best of its kind in Ontario for atom-level players.
In the D-Division the Dukes would take home the championship with a 4-3 overtime win against the Millbrook Stars.
The Dukes would kick-off the tournament with a 9-1 win against the Casselman-Embrun Icedogs before winning 11-0 against the RWC Crusaders and 16-2 against the Gloucester Orleans Blues.
The Dukes would squeak out a 3-2 victory versus the Nepean Raiders before winning the championship in the final day against Millbrook.
The Dukes B team also had a good showing winning the E-division title 4-2 over the Clarington Wolves. The Dukes would open the tournament with a 2-2 tie versus the Percy Bulldogs before picking up a 7-2 win over the Peterborough All-Saints and a 5-3 victory over Peterborough Blue.
The team would get the better of the Percy Bulldogs in the semi-final as the team won a close decision 4-3 before moving onto the final.
The Douro Dukes A/E team would not pick up any hardware like their fellow teams did have a good showing, picking up a 3-2 win over the Manvers Mustangs and a 6-1 victory over the South Muskoka Bears.
The Dukes would tie the Highland Storm 3-3 pushing them into the semi-final round where they would eventual be upset 6-1 by the Woodville Hurricanes.
The Lakefield Chiefs Atom B team would also have a tough weekend as the squad would finish 0-3 after a 17-1 loss to Canterbury, a 7-4 loss to the Holiday Ford Minor Petes and a 7-4 decision at the hands of Peterborough Teal.
For the Ennismore Eagles, although a valiant effort was given, both teams would have a tough weekend.
In the C-Division, the Eagles would have a rough start to the weekend dropping a 9-1 score to the Ottawa Silver Seven. The team would open the second day of play with another tough loss to the Port Hope Phantoms 10-1 before dropping a close decision with the Peterborough Petes 3-2.
The Eagles would round out the day with a 5-1 win against the Quinte West Hawks but due to their record were eliminated from championship contention.
The Ennismore Eagles Atom B team dropped its opening decision to Peterborough Petes 4-3 and would end up 0-3 on the weekend with a 12-1 loss to Almonte-Pakenham and a 1-0 loss to the Sturgeon Lake Thunder.

Free Parent Involvement Activity – "For the Sake of Silly Sentences" – Grade K-2nd
Auditory Discrimination, Creativity
In the alliterative tradition of "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," help your child to create sentences in which most of the words start with the same letter. For example:
Bob Bear bellowed, "Beware!" to Bonnie Bunny.
The silly snake slept soundly.
Don't delivery dainty dogs to Doris.
Try to come up with a sentence that highlights each letter of the alphabet!
An anteater ate an apple at the Astrodome.
Big Ben bongs then breaks.
Can cats catch cows in cozy caves?
Don't dive for dinner at dusk, David!
For an added challenge, repeat each sentence five times fast!

Pasadena Firefighters Are in the Pink!
Pasadena firefighters participated in a photo opportunity in front of the Rose Bowl Stadium this morning, followed by a walk around the 3.3-mile Rose Bowl Loop.
They traded their Pasadena Fire Department uniform shirts for pink t-shirts to help raise awareness of breast cancer, women's cancer research and the benefits of exercise for cancer prevention.
Pasadena City Councilman Victor Gordo and his field representative Vannia De La Cuba donned the pink shirts as well!
Victor was among the speakers at the event...
And Vannia did an on-camera interview with Azteca TV (channel 26).
Purchase your very own t-shirt for just $20 at Fire Station 33, 515 N. Lake Ave., or at pasadenagoespink.com. All proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
They even come in children's sizes, although apparently not small enough for Pasadena's youngest future firefighter!

- good, light down layer (Review by Clayton)
I bought this vest online without having tried it on. At first I was a little bummed because I thought it would have had more filling but when I started using it over the radiant hoody and under a hardshell it's pretty darn nice. The glove pockets inside are also pretty nice for ice climbing so you can constantly keep your other gloves next to your body. Down vest under a hardshell is a pretty good & versatile combo for skiing.

It's hard to find something new to post after reading the thousand or so that were written yesterday, so I'll just post this video I took while I was at the game. It's nothing dramatic or funny or anything, nor do I know whether ABC/ESPN had their cameras on us. They were probably too busy drinking up everything Trojan.
This is late in the 4th quarter with about 1:30 left. We lost, yes, but our fans are pretty awesome. We don't focus on our own the way we do our team. Most would have left by this point.
And kudos to SC. I honestly believe they'd destroy Florida or Oklahoma.

Garden Irrigation – Drip vs Pop-up Sprinkler Systems
If I were to landscape my garden and put in an irrigation system, which would be the better choice, drip system or the more traditional pop-up sprinklers? I would like it to be on a timer system so it would automatically turn on at a scheduled time each day. Does anyone have experience with both? Pros and cons? thanks.

100 Lockers
You have 100 lockers in a high school hallway that are all initially closed. You walk down the hallway 100
times starting at the first locker each time. The first time down the hallway, you go to every locker, and if it
is open you close it; if it is closed, you open it. The second time you walk down the hallway, you only visit every
second locker (lockers #2, #4, #6, etc), reversing the state of each locker you visit. The third time through,
you visit every third locker (lockers #3, #6, #9, etc). You continue this until your 100th pass down the hallway when you only visit locker #100. When you are finished, which lockers are open and which are closed?

Legislation, standards and patents for food and nutrition
Legal information and legislation is increasingly accessible online. For UK legislation the two key databases are:
- LexisLibrary (also covers EU and US legislation)
- Westlaw UK
For legislation from other countries try:
- SAFLII (Southern African Legal Information Institute) for South African and Kenyan legislation, plus some coverage of other African countries.
- FLAG (Foreign Law Guide) shows you which UK libraries hold foreign legislation
For more detailed information on finding legislation consult the Law guides.
Most printed information concerned with food law, legislation and food standards can be found in the social science section of the 4th Floor. The following sources are available:
UK Statutory Instruments
Also available online from 1987 onwards
Food Safety Act 1990
A standard is an officially approved specification covers requirements for the properties, dimensions, performance, qualities and testing of products and services. Standards are particularly useful for methods of analysis.
British Standards Online - covers current, historic, and draft British Standards and BSI adopted European and international standards
A patent is a legal right which, when granted, gives the patentee (the applicant for the patent) a monopoly to make, use or sell the invention within a jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) for a fixed period of time. The patent is granted in return for full disclosure of the details of the invention.
The Library does not hold any patents, although the FSTA (Food Science and Technology Abstracts) database includes references to food-related patents.
The key sources for patent information are the British Library Patent and Intellectual Property Collections. In addition to the collection of British patents they hold the most comprehensive range of patent specifications and related material in the world. Since 1855 patents and related material from numerous countries have been collected and now include 47 million patent specifications from over 40 authorities. Numerous gazettes and much support literature, as well as an increasing number of electronic databases, facilitate greater access to the collection through subject, name and classification searches.

Desperation often precedes the final collapse. On February 10th, as protests in Egypt entered their third week, rumors leaked that President Hosni Mubarak would resign. Instead, fueled by advice from his son, Gamal, Mubarak announced that he would continue to hold office until September elections.
Vice President Omar Suleiman announced Mubarak's official resignation a day later.
Despite what some people want to believe, the MMA scene in Japan is inching closer to its death rattle every day. Alistair Overeem and Gesias Cavalcante both claim FEG, parent company of K-1 and Dream, owe them money. World Victory Road lost Dave Herman, Ronnie Mann, and middleweight champion Jorge Santiago. Shooto is in the midst of a tax scandal. Attendance is dwindling and TV ratings are falling. Complete and total irrelevancy are within sights.
Today, Daniel Herbertson reports that an old friend is looking to re-enter the Japanese MMA game:
Rumors were flying in Japan this week via Japanese outlet Miruhon that former Pride FC President Nobuyuki Sakakibara, former Pride director and vice president, and the man behind DREAM Hiroyuki Kato and former Sengoku event producer, Astra and J-Rock boss Takahiro Kokuho are planning on uniting for a one-off event to be held this spring.
Independent sources have confirmed to MMA Fighting that an event is indeed being discussed and currently it will be an all-Japanese show to be held sometime in the Spring at a venue around the size of the 3,000-seat JCB Hall, although specifics are still quite rough.
For the uninitiated, Sakakibara was the man at the helm when Pride crumbled at the hands of a yakuza scandal in 2006. It's a long and complicated situation with many players, but the tipping point came after Seiya Kawamata booked Fedor Emelianenko for the Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye show in 2003. Fight Opinion has the details (and is a must-read for anyone interested in what started the downfall of MMA overseas):
Meanwhile, Kawamata was having his own troubles before and after the Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye show. According to Kawamata in Shukan Gendai magazine, he was allegedly receiving threats from DSE yakuza for booking Fedor. After the Inoki show, Kawamata was summoned to a building in Shizuoka where he was threatened for blackmail money - by his own yakuza gang members, who turned on him and supposedly were friendly now to DSE. Kawamata ended up leaving Japan and there were some angry people.
According to Shukan Gendai, Mijatovic was summoned to a hotel room meeting where a gun was allegedly pointed to his head and was warned about crossing DSE. Mijatovic's relationship with Red Devil started to deterioriate as Sakakibara and PRIDE started to get closer to Vadim and Fedor. Eventually, Mijatovic left the MMA business and focused his business activities on Japan's lucrative love hotel sector (raising capital to buy properties and renovate depressed areas).
Sakakibara has been running a soccer team in Japan since Pride stopped running shows in 2007. Unsurprisingly, Sakakibara's yakuza ties have prevented the club from joining the J-League, Japan's top soccer league.
It makes one wonder why anyone would be willing to do business with such a toxic character like Sakakibara. The yakuza situation in Japan is a strange one, and it reminds me of steroids in sports in America. It's generally assumed that most athletes are on something they shouldn't be, but it's only when someone tests positive that leads to any sort of outrage. (Unless you're a football player where you receive a four-game suspension and it's never discussed again.) In Japan, it sounds like it is generally accepted that the yakuza controls most of the nation's industries, but one must bear the burden of shame forever if linked to the crime organization. But I am not an expert on such matters.
The fact that there are even discussions of a show involving Sakakibara highlight just how desperate the situation in Japan has become.

Jason Varitek - #33 (Catcher)
Bats: Both, Throws: Right
Age: 38, Size: 6'2" 230lbs
Acquired: Acquired from the Seattle Mariners along with Derek Lowe on July 31, 1997
Contract: $2,000,000 (FA - 2012)
Comments: The Captain is back for one more season with the Red Sox as the backup catcher, team leader and maybe even an extra coach. Varitek has lost a ton from his bat and behind the plate, but he still offers a little bit of pop and can call a game as well as anyone. In 2010, Tek managed a 0.766 OPS with 7 HR in only 123 PA. Used against lefties he can be a useful bat. In Tek's 2003-2005 seasons he was one of the best catchers in the game, posting a consistent OPS+ of 120/121/122. He was the heart and soul of the 04 and 07 World Series squads and his altercation with A-Rod in the summer of 04 lit seemed to light a fire in the Sox as they came back to win that game 11-10 and went on to have the best record in the majors from that point on.
Career Stats:
wOBA: 0.337
wRC+: 102
Unique Stats/Facts:: Baseball Americ's college player of the year in 1993. First player from Georgia Tech to have his number retired. Only catcher in baseball history to catch 4 no-hitters (Nomo, Lowe, Buchholz, Lester)
Analysis: This is probably Varitek's last season (I'm betting he retires after this). He provides a little bit of pop aginst lefties and can spell the young Saltalamacchia behind the plate. Offers up a load of intangibles in the clubhouse as well.
Projection: 0.228/0.324/0.386 - wOBA 0.314 9 HR
Tomorrow: Mark Wagner

There's nothing nicer than having the time to indulge in what you like doing. For me, that often means taking photographs. Without any pretensions to being a photographer, I do, however, enjoy choosing pictures that highlight beautiful aspects of an ordinary day or that capture an atmosphere or a memory.

Magical mystery tour
Posted in Country life, Exploring, tagged countryside, dunster, England, flowers, photography, pictures, porlock, Somerset, weather on 14/05/2011 | 3 Comments »
I have an old friend staying, so we went up to Porlock by way of Dunster. I can't think of better places to show a Canadian some typical English scenery. We drove along a lot of small lanes rather than take the main roads some of the time, which is always heaven around here, as there are so many little spots where the views are fabulous.
Like me she takes lots of photographs – and is thinking of doing it professionally, she is so good – so we stopped a lot more than I normally am able to do, as I usually feel like the person who is holding everyone up by lingering to take yet another picture.
And I finally had the opportunity to stop at the Blue Ball Inn at Triscombe, which I've only ever driven past previously. It seems to be quite well known, and certainly, I can vouch for their roast beef and horseradish sandwich being the tenderest I've ever eaten.
We spent quite a while in the lovely Dunster, so it took us more or less all day to get as far as Porlock and Porlock Weir, which was wonderful, as by then the weather had cleared up and the light was beautiful.
It was a lovely day and, for me, a great way of seeing places that I've been to before.
Posted in Animals, Country life, tagged Bird, birds, countryside, garden, Ladybird book, London, Ornithology, photography, pictures, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds on 07/04/2011 | 4 Comments »
Sitting in my kitchen working from home today, I can hear incessant birdcalls. So I thought I'd upload some of the images of birds that I've taken in the last couple of years at Spring Cottage. They're not great pictures or very exciting or unusual birds, but as I keep saying – this is principally a record for me and my family and, if anyone else likes it too, then so much the better.
When my parents-in-law first moved to the countryside, I was surprised to see the interest with which they watched the birds in their garden. I couldn't have found anything less fascinating – I just thought, "Birds, so what?". Now, I can see my children, who are in their early twenties, thinking the very same thing about me, as I get excited by the birds that nest in the garden or feed on the seed I put out.
When I was a very little girl, I was given a bird book, so I must have had an interest in birds (although I also had a great uncle who gave me Ladybird books for Christmas until I was at university, so this doesn't necessarily follow). I coloured in some of the pages with red felt pen and traced a lot of the images of birds over and over again. I wrote my name inside the front cover alongside little pencil hearts. It's been well-loved and is now falling to pieces with a very broken spine but, despite having other bird books with lovely photographs, it is still this book that lives permanently in the kitchen and that I go back to when I want to identify a bird. Its drawings are clear and the birds are well described, which is more than you can say for a lot of modern books, although I do really rate the RSPB Bird Identifier website.
And while I'm thinking about my childhood, what bird epitomises a city child's experience of birdlife better the sparrow? Sadly, these days you rarely see what used to be an everyday little bird, although bright green parakeets are now a common sight across London, frightening away the indigenous species with their loud cries. They annoy me in their huge flocks screeching across the skies, but I do enjoy them in my neighbour's cherry tree, balancing on one leg while they hold a cherry in the claws of the other foot and take bites. This seems so comical.
The picture above is a bit of a cheat as I've had to enhance it slightly, as it was taken through my kitchen window and looked a bit murky.
My favourite bird though, in town and in the country, remains the robin – for its faithfulness and friendliness. There always seems to be one around and they're quite happy for me to take endless photographs of them, while they sing their hugely under-appreciated and beautifully varied songs.

Here is a new poster for the cottage, which arrived from America recently. Bought from the US Government Printing Office for $15 – it's a lovely piece of artwork by Charles Harper, advertising travel to the US Atlantic Barrier Islands. It was recommended by Sharilyn from the Lovely Design blog – see Things I Like in the sidebar, who has a lot of other wonderful ideas for wall deco as well.
Unfortunately, the GPO didn't package it very well, so, not only was bent to hell but it was also waterlogged and stained when it arrived, which was disappointing. But I just decided that this gives it character and framed it anyway. I'll try and take a crisp picture at some point and replace this iPhone one, or have a look at Lovely Design's post, which has a good shot of it.
Postscript: I notice that I have developed an obsession with water birds.
Odds and ends

Today's delight: the vine, on this cool and windy hillside, has grapes on. Tiny and pretty inedible but grapes, actual grapes, nonetheless.
Car boot sale in Nether Stowey this morning – must be one of the last ones of the season. Much smaller than usual but nice, normal people selling their old junk rather than the dealery types who turn up sometimes and charge ridiculous amounts. Gloriously sunny and warm – quite a contrast to the blustery hillside at home. I spent the princely sum of £6 on a Lloyd Loom dressing table stool, which needs serious renovation, and a huge woodbasket. Then I fell in love with a 10-week-old Jack Russell puppy, which a man talking to the pasty stall ladies (Help for Heroes) was selling – puppy-farm alarm bells.
Here are my water birds in the bathroom. If you click on them, they'll enlarge so that you can see their funny, almost smiley faces. I only had to drill all the holes twice because I changed my mind about how to hang them – thank goodness for Photoshop, which is quicker than Polyfilla for repairing the results. And, of course, no sooner had I put all the tools away, than I realised I'd forgotten to put up one upstairs…
I need to be outside today to beat off the fug that's constantly in my head at the moment. So, it's lawn-mowing and strimming for me, once the dew's dried off the grass. Hours later, cut grass blown everywhere, the lawn is trimmed (three cuts as it was so long neglected) but the banks don't look quite right anymore, like the boy you fancied at school, after he'd had a haircut.
Getting framed

I'm cutting the mounts for the bird prints that arrived from Italy while I was at a conference last week. I'm a bit ashamed of myself, as I used to make frames from scratch, but nowadays I just buy ready-made frames from IKEA and cut custom mounts for the pictures.
I want these pictures to be a modern take on a traditional idea. I just feel a bit bad for the book from which they've been cut by the seller…
But despite my shortcuts I do take the trouble to tape up the back of the frames properly as it stops dirt and moisture getting in and protects the pictures. It takes time but time spent doing something well, is time well spent.
And it was nice to get out my framing bag again and do something creative.
I'll post a picture once they're in situ, which won't be blurry or by iPhone as this post has been. I'm still pretty impressed that my phone can do ALL of this though.

I'm very excited because I have found some prints – mostly modern, 1950s-inspired – to put on the huge empty wall at the cottage. Been buying a lot online from various sellers here and in the States. Looking forward to framing them and putting them up, wall permitting. So once I've got my new cabinet and these, the living room will be complete, although I know I will always find more things I love.
It's not acquisition that matters, it's creating a lovely atmosphere and having beautiful and interesting things to look at. It feeds the soul.
Postscript: I have just bought four more antique bird prints on eBay – an odd choice perhaps because this is not quite my style but they are destined for the bathroom because of the link to water. My favourite is of an albatross – because of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in nearby Nether Stowey. I love that it is a 'wandering' albatross, which makes me smile.

I'm such a busy Lizzie that I forget that I've only had Spring Cottage for just over two weeks. I'm already impatient with progress on the house, although I've got quite a lot done. I've now found a painter and he's due to start in 10 days or so – I hope. He has the keys, so let's hope he gets going when he said he would. He thinks it will only take a week. At that point, I expect it will feel really different. It should be cleaner and lighter and feel more mine, than it does now, when I can still see where all Lady-Vendor's furniture and pictures were.
I still can't take the table down as I'm finding it difficult to get the replacement table for the kitchen in London. Also I will need help with sofa transportation and will have to wait for the Boy to come back from university to help.
I'm just looking forward to begin able to spend a weekend doing something other than clean and organise. Whilst that is fun, I am looking forward to being able to invite people to stay and show them its loveliness.
Beds – I forgot – they are coming in 10 days. I have to find a kind friend to help me put them together and then at least one will be able to sleep properly. So, its beds, table, sofas in that order and then the rudiments of comfortable living will be there. Not much else is necessary really and stuff will accumulate.
Oh yes, and I'm also expecting a peg rail and a slate house sign soon. I got a quote for the new radiator in my room today. Approximately twice what I'd budgeted for. I've no idea whether it's a good price or not, but at least I was right about the existing rad being too small for the room. Since it's my bedroom, it would be stupid to let it be too cold. Not that I want to sleep in the very warm or spend vast amounts of time in my bedroom but if I found the room cold in May, what will it feel like in December. I just can't help feel anxious at the amount of cash that seems to go out of the door every day at the moment. But of course this will slow down as things get done.
What fun it must have been for all those MPs to charge stuff like this to the good old taxpayer and feel that they had the right to do so. A rotten system. I don't blame them individually for doing it, but I do admire those, like Hilary Benn, who avoided doing so. There are so few with real integrity, sadly. But I think most people's invoices would look pretty foolish placed under close scrutiny – showing up all our petty vanities, so I think it's very hard to judge all this out of context. They do need to think of something better though. This system is like something out of the nineteenth century. Oh wait, that's exactly what it is…

BATON ROUGE — At 21-0 and rain pouring into Tiger Stadium, a place that reportedly never sees precipitation, LSU fans decided they'd had enough, confident their team was well on its way to its fourth win of the season.
They began leaving the stadium, unworried about an Auburn team that looked overmatched, outmanned and in over its head against the country's sixth-ranked team.
But as the final 30 minutes showed, a period of football those in their Baton Rouge homes and hotel rooms likely watched on TV in panic, one half doesn't equal two.
LSU nearly failed to finish Saturday night, holding on to a 35-21 win that didn't feel nearly as clean as the final scoreline would make one believe.
And those donning the white jerseys and gold-ish pants know it can't happen again, not with the next game being even bigger than the last. The Tigers travel to No. 9 Georgia next week, a giant step up in competition and a team capable of going toe-to-toe with LSU for 60 minutes in a way Auburn was not.
"When we're making great plays, we have to be hungry to make even better great plays than the one before," LSU cornerback Jalen Mills said. "You can't get lax. You just have to play ball for all 60 minutes."
The Jekyll and Hyde Tigers of Saturday night need to figure out a way for the first-half team to play the whole time against the Bulldogs.
Not that this message needs to be drilled into their heads. At this point, they know. They knew minutes after the game. It's the reason why, during post-game interviews, it generally felt like LSU lost instead of won, moving to 4-0 and 1-0 in the SEC.
"I'm disappointed just because I know how good we can be," LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger said. "I know the potential of this offense and I want us to do better."
Added running back Jeremy Hill, "I wish we would have finished a lot stronger than what we did, putting our defense in tough positions. I think we started off well, we've just got to finish. That's kind of the bitter taste in your mouth when you finish a game like that. It gave me a sour taste."
Auburn certainly isn't Georgia.
But what those Tigers lacked in depth they made up for in coaching guile and heart. Those in charge made adjustments, a key Hill said changed the feel of the game.
What was working for LSU in the beginning, what led to 223 first-half yards, 21 points and multiple long runs, didn't continue as the game wore on because Auburn made adjustments.
While LSU held Auburn to 104 first-half yards and only six first downs, it allowed 333 second-half yards, 15 first downs and three scoring drives of 50-plus yards, in essence, keeping the road Tigers around longer than they should have been.
The focus wasn't there, the sign of a team with players that aren't experienced enough in key positions. Saturday was, or should be, a learning experience.
"It's a lot of things," Mettenberger said. "Majority it's mental. Guys just didn't keep their heads in the game, start thinking about the next series after we score. We get up 21-0 on an SEC West opponent who was 3-0 and showed they can come back late in a game against Mississippi State, we just let off the gas pedal.
"Hopefully this is a lesson that everybody learned."
Still, it's a win and one that keeps LSU exactly where it wants and needs to be – undefeated and entrenched firmly in the running for season goals of a divisional, conference and national championship.
In one week, we'll know if they learned the lesson. If not, they'll have real reason to feel like they lost.

Martha Jefferson Hospital hopes a new expansion project will be just what it needs to meet a growing demand for surgeries.
It wants to have four additional operating rooms in its outpatient center, but before that can happen the hospital has to answer to the state. If all goes well and the hospital gets the green light, it hopes to have those additional operating rooms by late spring or early summer of 2014.
"Yes, the operating rooms that we have here are definitely busy," said Jenn Downs, media relations specialist for Martha Jefferson Hospital.
It's not uncommon to walk into Martha Jefferson Hospital and find that its nine operating rooms are booked daily. Now, there's a push to add four additional ORs to its Outpatient Care Center at Pantops.
"Currently there are tenants in that space and they're going to be moving their operations outside of that space, so our hope is to go in and repurpose those rooms to turn them into the extra operating rooms," Downs said.
The hospital has put in an application to the state as part of the Certificate of Public Need Program, which requires Martha Jefferson to show the expansion is necessary.
"Even though the space is ours, the certificate of public need is something that has been in place for decades that serves as an extra double check on hospitals to make sure that there really truly is a need for the services in the community before they would be established," Downs said.
The hospital says an increase in outpatient operations such as plastic surgery, orthopedic and gynecological procedures demonstrates the need, and that will be one of the main talking points when Martha Jefferson presents its case during an upcoming public hearing.
As it awaits approval, the hospital has already made plans to fund the project through accumulated reserves.
"In order to open those four additional operating rooms, if we were given permission to do that, it would cost Martha Jefferson around $2 million," Downs said.
That's money some argue would be well spent.
The public hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. May 9 at the Gordon Avenue Library. After the hearing, the state will review the information, and give its decision sometime after that.

Adopt a Blogger: 5 Things Every New Blogger Should Consider
Adopt a Blogger is a little program that Kristen (DineandDish) has put together a few times now.
The idea is to pair an experienced blogger with another who is a bit new to blogging… to provide inspiration &advice, to answer questions and just to be there for help, if needed. My adoptee is Beryl, a Southern Californian who has a blog called: Cinemon Girl. Beryl started her blog as a way to push herself to cook and bake more. Well, she's off to a great start… she's already taking part in Tuesday's with Dorie AND she's a Daring Baker! That's definitely jumping feet first into the world of blogging. Please visit Beryl's blog and give her a warm welcome
Since I'm in the position of doling out advice, I figured I'd post my little tidbits for all to see. You may agree with me, or you may not. These are my opinions with regards to blogging…
5 Things (I Think) Every New Blogger Should Consider…
1. How does my blog look?
Have you created a nice design for your blog? Is it unique? Does it match your personality? Blogger and WordPress, etc. provide free blog templates. Those are fine and all, but eventually you may want to think about switching things up a bit and making your blog a bit more fun to look at. If you Google around for blog templates, you'll find quite the variety. Here's an example of a site that offers templates (and design). On the flip side, you don't want to overdo it with design either. Blogs that are too busy are not always the most fun to visit. And please avoid adding music… there's nothing worse than peacefully browsing blogs on a quiet morning and then happening upon one that blasts their favorite song.
2. Am I posting good photographs of food?
The number one draw for me when I visit a food blog is the food photographs. If the pictures are crisp and clear and droolworthy… that's the number one thing that will bring me back to that blog in the future. You don't have to have thousands of dollars in camera equipment (I don't), but if you follow some basic guidelines… you'll learn more about what works well and what doesn't.
Here are a few food blogger posts on food photography that have been helpful to me:
Food Photog. Tips 1
Food Photog. Tips 2
Food Photog. Tips 3
3. Do I Want to Create a Niche for my Blog?
Are you a baker? Gluten Free? Vegetarian? Cookie blogger? Restaurant Reviewer? Sometimes it's nice to create a theme for your blog if you can figure out one that suits you. It might just begin to happen naturally. Or you might just choose to blog about anything and everything. You'll find that there are certain things that your readers enjoy reading about more than others. Watch your comments!
4. Am I going to accept freebies in exchange for advertising, and/or am I going to do Giveaways on my blog?
This is kind of a touchy subject in the world of blogging. You'll have retailers contact you to see if you might like to receive their product in exchange for a review on your blog. Keep in mind that they're looking for free advertising. You'll see a ton of bloggers that do reviews on products pretty regularly on their blogs. You need to think about whether or not you want to do this on your blog. I personally think that there is too much of it going on. It's a bit boring going to blog after blog after blog that are all reviewing the same product.
5. How Can I promote my Blog and Make Friends in the Blogging World?
*Visit blogs that you enjoy and comment when you have something to say.
*Join The Foodie BlogRoll.
*Join Twitter and follow other food bloggers.
*Register for Food Blog Search.
*Submit photos to Tastespotting and FoodGawker.
*Add a blogroll of your favorite blogs to your site.

Vandals destroy 10th anniversary mosaic in Kingston
2:30am Thursday 26th June 2014 in News By Jon Sharman, Reporter
A mosaic unveiled on the 10th anniversary of arts group Fusion Arts has been damaged.
The installation, outside the group's headquarters in Eden Street, had been in place for just weeks before its demise.
Artist Ann Bubis said said she thought late-night passers-by had caused the damage.
She added: "It took me two months to create and make. It's sad because they've taken the creative ideas away.
"Some of it was done by children - they were the starting point. There's lots of stories about Kingston.
"It would be nice if we were a bit more of a caring society."

First Look : JRS Rules and Obey
Curator of JJJJound, Justin recently launched latelierj.com, a multifaceted creative agency. JRS Rules' most recent project involves the design of a wardrobe classic in conjunction with streetwear brand Obey. If anyone has been following their line for the passed…5-6 seasons, they would have expected such a move as we've felt a sense of evolving continuity in the minimal branding. Put differently, the brand has simply been designing some of the strongest collections in their market. The 5-panel they've created together is the epitome of what they've been preaching in their latest seasons. The camp hat features multiple cotton fabric panels with stitched eyelets and an adjustable web belt closure. Moreover, it features a blank leather patch on the front and a specialty "JRS RULES" embroidery on the back. Also to be expected are 3 t-shirt designs.

My prediction: Bayless starts out on the bench until he serves Blake so hard in practice that it ends his career, ala South Park.

It was an evening of a day when I didn't get as much done as I planned - this was the day when I wrote the ideals post. When I was in bed I thought about how I didn't do as much as I had hoped, and this made me feel frustrated. Stopping the thought and just laying there in my bed breathing stopped the accumulating frustration, but it also felt like something was missing - like I had forgotten something.
Whenever I started to think (what's missing?), I went back into the frustrated experience of "ooh, I fell short today".
I found this quite fascinating. It was as if stepping outside of a habit made me feel like I had forgotten something - as if I "should have" thought that I "fell short" after the day that I've had. I mean that was what was "missing" from the moment because previously (a decade at least) I've through that I have "fallen short" when facing a day when I failed to do what I planned (previously I only had a lot less plans).
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to not realize that part of "who I am" consists of habits of thought - when I "fall short", I think "damn, I fell short (self-judgment/self-blame)" - without considering the practical consequences of this habit, because I've not considered myself to have a choice because I've defined such thoughts as "who I am".
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to not realize that I am not my thoughts, but the origin of my thoughts - and that I thereby am capable of directing what I think (as well as create myself in a way that I can't - and if I've done this, re-create myself in a way that I can do so again).
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to judge myself and to feel frustrated about falling short of my plans for the day, instead of looking at the practical reasons that made this happen from which to create practical solutions that will assist me in the future.
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to feel like something is missing when I live contrary to my habits.
I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the only way to change a thought habit is to do something else at the moment this habit would manifest itself.
I Commit myself to check the practical consequences of my thought patters - the experiences I create with them and the consequences of the experience into what I live and do.
I Commit myself to stop defining ways of thoughts as "who I am" but as ways I am able to think if I so choose - and as thoughts, feelings and emotions are interlinked I Commit myself to stop defining myself as a person who feels a certain way, but treat feelings and emotions as expressions that I am capable of if I so choose. In this, I Commit myself to focus on what I actually live instead of what I think and how I experience about life.
I Commit myself to breathe through the experience of "something is missing" when I step outside of my patterns.

It's D-day for Jonty
1:51pm Wednesday 27th June 2012 in London Olympics 2012 - Latest News
JONTY Clarke will today discover if he has been selected in Great Britain's hockey squad for this summer's Olympic Games.
The 31-year-old, who was born in Rochford and attended Southend High School, was part of the 18 man travelling party for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in May.
But that squad is now set to be reduced to 16 and Clarke, a former Old Southendian player, will be desperate to make the cut.
Clarke competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and has won 138 international caps.
