Cemetery rules break hearts
Updated: Wednesday, July 9 2014, 09:31 PM CDT
VIDOR-By: Leslie Rangel
Some families in Vidor tonight have returned from a cemetery not with feelings of peace or satisfaction of visiting loved ones, but with anger and even devastation.
Their desire for closure has been ripped open in some cases following a visit to Restlawn Memorial Park.
"I'm just trying to find my late husband's plaque that's been out here for 14 years," a heartbroken woman said as she looked through was seems like a pile of rubble.
But look closer.
"Flags from the veteran's graves they've taken off, even the memento that says US Navy of a veteran's grave they took off and just piled it all here," Roberto Molenda, an upset family member said.
Pile after pile, memory after memory, pain sprawled on a cemetery lawn.
"I have my granddaughter out here and my niece, and they took her angel," Molenda said.
These people see it as a heartless act, others say rules are rules.
"Pictures or artificial flowers or any other items placed directly on the ground marker or headstone should not be permitted," Ronald Higgins, the cemetery manager said.
"Items may be hung from or attached to the shepherd's hook provided they do not hang within 8 inches of the ground," Higgins said.
It's in the cemetery rulebook and this manager says they even notified the public months ago through the newspaper.
"We don't mean to upset nobody, we're just trying to make the cemetery look the best it can," Higgins says.
For these folks, no excuse eases the pain.
"This was on my daughter's grave, Carla Denise Spring," 77-year-old Charles Wilkinson Sr., another upset family member said.
"My babies are here and they just disrespected the that's cold blooded, that's my babies down here. It's everybody's loved ones,look at all these people, it's everybody's loved ones, look at all these people, there's never this many people here look at them all, everybody's upset today," Molenda says.
A day rules broke hearts.
"I did what we was told to do in the newspaper," Wilkinson says.
He says it's like he never buried his daughter.
Cemetery managers say the rules have always been written not to allow trinkets near the graves.
The cemetery takes full responsibility for finally deciding to enforce the rules.
The managers say it's been long enough and they're only trying to make the cemetery cleaner.

In a week where two top five teams lost, one to another top five team and one to an archrival, it presented an interesting conundrum to the Top 25 voters. Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman discuss the changes they would make on their ballot in this week's Around the Nation podcast.
Of course, Pat was also at Mary Hardin-Baylor, where the spectacle of a brand-new palace of Division III football was the story of the evening. More about that, this season's surprise teams and more in this week's podcast.
Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman break down that and much more and analyze it all for you. The Around the Nation podcast is our weekly discussion of what went down and what's about to happen.

Triple Take: Watchlist for records

Manny Sicre got nearly half of his rushing yards in Case's season opener. The Spartans need to win out to have a shot at the playoffs.

The season is getting down to the wire, and conference matchups will be decided with each week that goes by. But individual achievements are on the watchlist as well for Saturday. Career records set at Westminster (Mo.) are threatened by players from Dubuque (wide receiver Michael Zweifel) and Monmouth (quarterback Alex Tanney).
Will they fall? Will the weather wreak havoc? Snow? And what races will get clarity? Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps offer up their thoughts.
Game of the Week.
Ryan's take: No. 11 Salisbury at No. 7 Wesley. In their first year in the Empire 8, the Gulls have certainly approached things with a take-no-prisoners attitude. How else would you describe posting 65, 69 and 70 points on some of the conference's best teams? Better than ever, quarterback Dan Griffin is getting the job done both through the air and on the ground, totaling 22 touchdowns this season. And the team is plus-11 in turnovers. But Salisbury hasn't won the annual matchup against Wesley, the Route 13 Rivalry, since 2004. For all the good that Wesley brings to the table year in and year out, they feel somewhat vulnerable this year. Maybe it's just hard to get a handle on them since three of their seven games have been against non-D-III schools. Nonetheless, if there's ever been a time for Salisbury to break its losing streak against Wesley, this year is it.
Keith's take: Birmingham-Southern at No. 23 Trinity (Texas). Aside from Ryan's pick, the only meeting of top 25 teams this week, the Panthers-Tigers matchup probably has the furthest-reaching consequences. Not only are both teams in the mix for the SCAC title and automatic bid, but their location and previous results give other teams in the playoff hunt a rooting interest in how they do.
Pat's take: Rowan at No. 18 Kean. The loss by Montclair State on the scoreboard and the other one under center have opened the NJAC race up even further. It's going to get nuts from here. So far, it's hard to say whether Kean's football program has gotten distracted by the winds swirling around other Kean athletic teams, but even if not, it's a key game. Both teams need this.
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: Widener at Albright. With a lot to gain and the potential to still win the conference, Widener could pour it on and run away with this game. But if the Pride get caught thinking too much about the conference showdown against Delaware Valley, Albright may be able to catch them sleeping. Aside from one game this season, Albright plays its opponents competitively, so a one-score game isn't out of the question.
Keith's take: Wooster at Hiram. Traditionally a pretty good NCAC program, Wooster might seem from an outsider's view as the team with a chance to get right against the 1-6 Terriers. But look for a tight finish, mostly because both teams struggle mightily at putting points on the board. Hiram is the 229th-ranked scoring offense in the country at a shade more than 10 points per game and No. 225 Wooster isn't much better at a little more than 12.
Pat's take: Carthage at North Park. There's nothing to be gained by picking North Park to win a CCIW game when it hasn't since time immemorial (actually 2000). But the Vikings have been competitive more often than not, including a 27-24 loss at Augustana last week. Keith keeps talking about the North Park-at-Carthage game from last year where North Park was competitive. A loss would make it 80 consecutive conference games, by my count.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 18 Kean. It seems a little like Kean's opponent, Rowan, has flown under the radar this season. Remember last year they were a one-loss team that got snubbed from the postseason while conference-mates Cortland State and Montclair State got to keep playing? This year's Profs have a lot to be motivated about, and they're just balanced enough in all facets of the game to keep the opposition guessing. And Kean hasn't exactly been steamrolling teams this season.
Keith's take: No. 24 Illinois Wesleyan. This might a week without an upset in the top 25, and this could be a little bit of a reach. But the Titans have to be careful to avoid the hangover that comes from gearing up for a game as big as last week's clash with North Central, and then the deflating feeling that goes with getting shutout. Millkin hasn't won since Oct. 1, and if it begins to sniff a chance at victory, IWU's job is going to get tougher. The Big Blue scores more than 30 points a game, but the Titans are a powerhouse defensively, allowing less than 10.
Pat's take: No. 7 Wesley. I don't usually pick ranked games for this, even the home team when higher ranked, but Salisbury is in a good position here to reclaim U.S. 13 for its own and put Wesley deep on the playoff bubble. Salisbury hasn't been tested in a while but one of the side benefits to the recent blowouts is that they came on the road, where the Sea Gulls couldn't completely empty the bench because it was left at home. The key players on the two-deep still had a fair amount of playing time. Plus, Salisbury is throwing the ball better than in previous years and that has appeared to be where Wesley struggles defensively.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: Case Western Reserve. The Spartans line up against their stiffest UAA competition, Chicago, this weekend. For my part, Case hasn't really been on my radar yet. Their games have been close, and Pool B entry to the postseason is scarcer than ever. But, as noted above, Wesley could pick up loss No. 2 this weekend, which means Case should be determined to finish out 9-1 if they hope to make the playoffs. With the selection committee now able to factor in previous playoff performance, Case is in trouble with its few one-and-dones under their belt. So the Spartans shouldn't simply be looking to win but rather to win convincingly.
Keith's take: Wartburg. The up-and-down IIAC needs the annual Knights-Dutch clash to help sort the conference title race out. Central has been hot offensively, scoring 119 points in its past two games, and the Wartburg defense — traditionally a strength — has given up 39 and 38. I don't know quite what to make of this Wartburg team, even this deep into the season, but I hope Saturday provides the most definitive clue yet.
Pat's take: St. Scholastica. The Saints can't clinch the automatic bid this weekend at the Metrodome unless they win and Eureka also loses to Northwestern, but they are going to be all but assured of winning the automatic bid from the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference with a win against first-year program Presentation.
Which team with a losing record has the most left to play for?
Ryan's take: DePauw. Any season — no matter humbling or below expectations it is — can be salvaged with a win against a bitter rival, in this case Wabash. That's three weeks away, which means two more games for DPU to fix what may be broke. The Tigers have not been impressive on offense this year, but last week against Ohio Wesleyan, Drew Seaman strung together a 166-yard, three-touchdown performance. That, folks, amounts to a glimmer of hope for a team that's 2-4 only one season removed from a SCAC title and a playoff run. A chance to find itself, as well as battle for the Monon Bell trophy, gives DePauw plenty to fight for.
Keith's take: Pacific. Still looking for the first win since reviving the program, the Boxers are 0-7 and coming off of demoralizing losses of 49-6, 49-7 and 48-6, at Willamette, against Linfield, and at Whitworth. Pacific's best chance to get over that is by beating another potentially demoralized team, in 0-7 conference foe Puget Sound. The Loggers, whose two wins last season were against Pacific, have given up 450 points and 43 points per game. That's an opportunity for the Boxers offense to get on track.
Pat's take: Ithaca. At 3-4, and with Frostburg State, Alfred and Cortland State still to come, the Bombers are in danger of seeing their streak of consecutive winning seasons end at 40. It's not the longest such streak, obviously, but Ithaca is among the historic Division III football programs for a reason. They need to win all three to keep that streak alive. Central's streak, formerly the second-longest, ended with a 5-5 season in 2003.
If there were no obstacles, and excluding your game of the week pick, where would you like to be this Saturday?
Ryan's take: Ursinus at No. 14 Johns Hopkins. I feel like I'm talking about one or the other of these teams almost every week, but if I want to answer honestly, this is the game I want to see. I want to see if JHU is for real this year — as in 2009 playoff-run real. I think they are. JHU can clinch a playoff berth with a win, so there's plenty at stake for them. Ursinus isn't the kind of Bears you play dead with though or they'll eat your team up.
Keith's take: At Castleton State or Middlebury. I have no qualms going to see the Route 13 rivalry, but if I could be anywhere, Vermont during fall foliage season sounds nice. The Spartans and Panthers are just a 45-minute drive from one another, and the start times are staggered. Castleton plays Gallaudet, and Middlebury faces off with Trinity (Conn.).
Pat's take: Actually, the game I'll be at. I feel good about having a chance to be there for history when Dubuque hosts Luther. But more about that in a second.
Do one, both or neither of the Westminster (Mo.) records fall this weekend?
Ryan's take: One. I think Monmouth's Alex Tanney will get the two touchdown passes he needs to break the career mark in that category. His team should be able to make short work of Carroll. However, I don't think Dubuque's Michael Zweifel gets the 12 catches he needs to set the career catches record. He'll probably fall three or four catches short of that mark. But look for him to break it in the Spartans' last game of the regular season on Nov. 5.
Keith's take: Both. With 123 career TD passes and five in each of the past two games, Tanney seems a sure bet to break through. The Pioneers have the best defense in the MWC though. Meanwhile, Zwiefel has had 17 or more catches for more than 200 yards twice in his past three games, so whopping numbers are normal for him.
Pat's take: Both. There's no way Michael Zweifel doesn't get those receptions this weekend, in the team's final home game. Remember who the offensive coordinator reports to. He caught 17 passes last week. Twelve catches is merely right at his average.

Triple Take: Top 25s collide
No comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Triple Take
If healthy, Nate Wara can hurt teams with his arm and legs.
By Larry Radloff, d3photography.com
Three crucial games between Top 25 teams take place this weekend. Each and every Saturday, players line up to help sort out conference races and hopefully take down rivals, but these national games have an even broader audience because of their implications toward the NCAA postseason. Many eyes should be watching.
Giving you insight into some of the Top 25 as well as pieces of the rest of the 214 teams out there are Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps.
Game of the Week.
Ryan's take: No. 6 North Central at No. 15 Illinois Wesleyan. Truth be told, both of these teams are in the Top 10 on my ballot and are separated by just two spots. Both teams are coming off of games against mid-pack CCIW squads, so be ready to see them hit the ground running. If the Titans hope to pull the upset, they need to be mistake-free through the air and able to create some big plays. Take too long in the pocket? North Central will get you. Hiccup into too many third-down situations? North Central will force the punt. But Illinois Wesleyan should be able to stop the Cardinals' multi-pronged run game better than any team so far this season, so weight will be on North Central not to let momentum falter amid a few stuffed plays.
Keith's take: No. 1 UW-Whitewater at No. 20 UW-Oshkosh. That CCIW game might end up being the GOTW, but if Titans QB Nate Wara and Warhawks LB Greg Arnold both play, the WIAC could hog the spotlight. It's rare that the Warhawks get a challenge, but UW-Oshkosh is loose — coach Pat Cerroni told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the pressure is on Whitewater — and has legitimate credentials. The Warhawks and Titans are 1-2 in the WIAC in total offense and defense. In four wins against WIAC teams (though only three count in the conference standings), UW-Oshkosh has outscored the opposition, 145-36. That's less than 10 points allowed per game, and while they're unlikely to match that against Whitewater, they might not have to stay in the playoff hunt. Aside from a one-point loss to UW-Stevens Point in 2008, Whitewater hasn't lost a WIAC game since 2004. They're 44-1, and even if Oshkosh can't make it a 2, a good showing would keep them in the mix, in my opinion. Playing both Whitewater and Mount Union makes the Titans an exception to any rule.
Pat's take: No. 3 St. Thomas at No. 10 Bethel. I'm not sure I need to say anything more here so I won't, except to say that St. Thomas players and coaches have talked about enjoying playing Bethel because they just line up and bring it with hard-nosed smash-mouth football.
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: Mount Ida at SUNY-Maritime. Maritime is at the top of the ECFC, is undefeated in conference play and is the reigning conference champion. But what 3-3 Mount Ida has is a competitive team that can move the ball — a lot. To the tune of nearly 500 yards a game in conference play, in fact. The Privateers will be in trouble if they can't slow running back Johrone Bunch or can't keep their penalties in check.
Keith's take: Mount Ida at SUNY-Maritime. Usually we aim not to repeat games, but I went through my usual routine without seeing Ryan's pick, and this game stood out. Here's why: Of the top 22 defenses in the country by yardage, 13 belong to undefeated teams and five more are one-loss squads. Then there's Mount Ida. It allows just 233 yards per game, and 106 rushing. Although the Mustangs have faced some teams that struggle to move the ball, they've also taken teams out of what they do well. That's what it takes against the triple-option attack of the Privateers. The Mustangs might fall to 3-4, but they should make Maritime work to make it happen.
Pat's take: No. 14 Salisbury at Hartwick. How close does it have to be to surprise? Closer than 42 points? Closer than 69? At some point the back-to-back trips to upstate New York will slow the Sea Gulls down, just not enough to put this game in serious doubt.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 17 Redlands. Though Occidental is certainly having a down year, the Tigers match up fairly well against the Bulldogs. Occidental is almost an all-pass offense, and Redlands' strength isn't stopping the pass, it's stopping the run. So if Oxy can find a way to move the ball and stay on the plus side of turnovers as they have over the whole of the season, then they may be able to make some noise in this game.
Keith's take: No. 24 St. Olaf. Ninth-ranked Montclair State could be in trouble without quarterback Tom Fischer against TCNJ, but the Oles' game at Augsburg is worth focusing on. St. Olaf might feel the pressure of being ranked for the first time this season, although it's deserved. A road win against the Auggies (4-2) would go a long way toward proving the comeback against Bethel was not a fluke. Last week's win against Carleton was the first time the Oles held a team below 22 points, and Augsburg is averaging 26 a game even after a shutout against St. Thomas two weeks ago. The Auggies have lost two in a row and should play with a season-saving sense of urgency.
Pat's take: No. 6 North Central. Illinois Wesleyan plays the top CCIW teams better at home, there's no two ways about it. In 2008 and 2010, having to travel to North Central and Wheaton, IWU finished a combined 7-7 in the league. In 2009 and so far in 2011, the Titans are 9-1, having already beaten Wheaton.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: No. 11 Wabash. How's my 11th-ranked alma mater just now on my radar, you ask? Well, I've certainly kept the Little Giants close at heart all season, but this week, they may be defined by how well they respond after seeing some weaknesses in their armor after last Saturday's Oberlin game. The Yeomen were down 30-3 at one point and battled back against a nationally ranked team to within one score. Wabash needs to make sure it has confidence down the stretch and, possibly, into the postseason. Right now, the Little Giants' opponents are just 12-24, a record that hasn't given the team much chance to really prove themselves. This week's Denison is 3-4, and the next two teams, Allegheny and Wittenberg, are both above .500. Wabash will need to sign, stamp and seal its show of force in these next three matchups.
Keith's take: Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. My radar. I love this category because it's the only pick I can't get wrong. And what would be wrong about wanting to see how the Stags bounce back from being on the wrong end of the D3football.com play of the week, a hail mary that kept Redlands from having to play overtime? The 2-3 Stags are at Whittier this week, then play Cal Lutheran the following Saturday. In Kyle Sweeney's first season at the helm, CMS seems like it's on the path to someday being a legitimate SCIAC contender, but first I want to see how it performs after last week's devastation. If so, perhaps it plays spoiler.
Pat's take: The College of New Jersey. With Montclair State facing an immediate future without starting quarterback Tom Fischer, TCNJ has a chance to throw a monkey wrench into the NJAC and open the door wider for Mount Union to be the "East" bracket's top seed. The oldest college football rivalry in New Jersey isn't the biggest rivalry for either of these two schools, but surely someone in the Trenton area will mention it. If they're not too busy talking about it being homecoming.
Which unlikely conference leader is most likely to pick up a loss?
Ryan's take: Christopher Newport, to N.C. Wesleyan. As a regular visitor to the playoffs, CNU isn't in the unlikeliest of spots, but in the preseason, I had expected N.C. Wesleyan and Ferrum to be the two teams atop the USA South, so CNU's positioning is a little surprising. However, they will certainly be put to the test when they face off against NCWC this weekend. The Bishops are a good team year in and year out, and the Captains have had so many games this fall that were decided by the narrowest of margins. Two of the close ones ended in losses, while two others were wins. I'm not sure CNU will succeed against NCWC if they can't establish a good-size lead early on.
Keith's take: Lewis & Clark, to Puget Sound. I couldn't be more thrilled to see the Pioneers' program revived. And the Loggers are struggling at 0-6. But there aren't many candidates for this category (technically Linfield, at 3-0 in the NWC, outpaces L&C at 2-0). I'm just playing the odds. (Can the Pios really be that much improved? Beating Whitworth last week seemed to suggest so.) Last season these two teams played an instant classic, 68-64 game that the Pioneers won on a TD pass with one second left. If UPS can't muster an upset to get revenge for that, I don't know what would inspire them.
Pat's take: Lakeland, to Concordia (Ill.). I'm not sure how many unlikely conference leaders there actually are. UW-Oshkosh is an easy choice as WIAC co-leader to lose to UW-Whitewater but that seems like cheating and there are a couple of other unlikely leaders that I don't see losing this week. Although Concordia lost a lot of seniors from last year's squad, they've still performed admirably so far and could knock Lakeland out of its first-place tie with Benedictine.
Which team with two or more losses is worth watching?
Ryan's take: Emory & Henry. Having seen the Wasps play in their opener this season, I'm confident in saying they are a much better team than their 4-3 record would indicate. One of their losses came against a non-Division III institution, while the other two losses came against 6-1 squads, Hampden-Sydney and Washington and Lee. What's more, no loss this year was by more than three points. I can't imagine the frustration this team is feeling. There's no shortage of talent: Sophomore quarterback Kyle Boden broke an ODAC record en route to a 390-yard passing performance last week, while players like Daniel Preston, Devan Sproles and Tyler Houk have revived the defense. The level of the talent will be on display against Catholic this week.
Keith's take: Gettysburg. Its 525-yard-per-game offense outpaces Mount Union (No. 3 nationally, a spot behind the Bullets) and UW-Whitewater (No. 9), and it does it with almost perfect balance (254 rushing, 271 passing per game). Plus they host 6-0 Johns Hopkins (No. 6 offense in the nation) Saturday; I'm sure they're going to be jacked up. This could've been my upset pick, but the Bullets seem to run out of them when the defense takes the field. They're 174th in total defense (389 yards/game and 212th in scoring D, and not just because they've given up 56 and 57 in losses. A 14-10 win last week against Muhleberg was the defense's first step in the right direction.
Pat's take: McDaniel. The Green Terror made their displeasure known with a preseason conference poll that had McDaniel picked to tie for eighth, but at 1-5, they haven't put that possibility behind them at all. Trying to muster another couple of wins to salvage some pride starts at Dickinson on Friday night.
What team will turn the biggest 180 from last week?
Ryan's take: Mount St. Joseph. Because after a three-week skid, the Lions have nowhere to go but up. They will again be above .500 after lining up against Earlham, which hasn't won since the 2009 season. MSJ might not be able to compete for a playoff spot anymore this season, but like all teams with great rivalries, they have something to keep them going till the end. Look for them to begin to work out their kinks ahead of the Bridge Bowl Trophy game against Thomas More on Nov. 12.
Keith's take: Heidelberg. It's cherry-picking, sure, but playing Mount Union midseason is like a one-week suspension of reality. Before the 56-7 loss to the Purple Raiders, the Student Princes had won four of five and were averaging 451 yards per game of total 0ffense. Throw out last week's 195 yards of offense, and expect the Germany Woods-led ground attack to pick up where it was two weeks ago in a trip to Marietta. The Pioneers' two wins are against 0-6 teams, Thiel and Wilmington.
Pat's take: Anna Maria. The annual other game between third-year programs Anna Maria and Castleton State is this weekend, with Castleton having won the first, 56-52. Anna Maria is 0-25 in its football career and could get off the schneid this weekend.
Anna Maria · Augsburg · Bethel · Castleton State · Catholic · Christopher Newport · Claremont-Mudd-Scripps · Concordia (Ill.) · Denison · Emory and Henry · Gettysburg · Hartwick · Heidelberg · Illinois Wesleyan · Lakeland · Lewis and Clark · McDaniel · Montclair State · Mount Ida · Mount St. Joseph · New Jersey · North Carolina Wesleyan · North Central (Ill.) · Occidental · Puget Sound · Redlands · Salisbury · St. Olaf · St. Thomas · SUNY-Maritime · TCNJ · UW-Oshkosh · UW-Whitewater · Wabash

Sucking more than Duke in the first round.
The Pitch: Catch every moment of the action from this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney. The app brings live audio feeds, scoreboards, social chatter and a game schedule. Dropping four bucks on an in-app purchase buys you video of all the games streaming right to your pocket (or killer satchel if you're rocking an iPad).
What It Really Is: Pretty much the only way you're gonna see the games at your office this March and a reminder that monopolies are bad for the average bball fan. If you want your Madness in portable form, this is Plan A, B and C. Normally, we'd just be grateful to have mobile access to the games but this year's March Madness app seems to be the worst iteration yet. Buggy, requiring updates on a near-daily basis, constantly running on a delay and, worst of all, jammed with more ads than late night cable TV. Call us nostalgic but we remember a magical time when free streaming was ad-supported and "premium" meant no ads. That time was called 2011. The change might be tolerable if this was the best app ever but its poor quality and general sense of greediness have us knocking it hard. If kicking fans in the balls was a competitive sport that had a tournament, the NCAA would definitely go into that bitch as a one seed.
Maxim.com Ready-Made Press Blurb: "Prevents March Madness from turning into March Sadness!" – Maxim.com
Fun Fact: March Madness Live makes use of iOS 5's new notification system, so when your bracket gets busted by a 15 seed, you'll be the first one in the cubicle farm to know.
Who's It For: Sadly, everyone. Making it through March without hearing the words "bracket," "upset" or "underdog" is a literal impossibility in the USA and, since no one even knew they had the channel TruTV (seriously, what the shit is that?), chances are you're gonna need to fork over $4 to find out who the hell is gonna take Mizzou's spot in the Final Four.

Children treated after indoor BBQ (From Banbury Cake)

Children treated after indoor BBQ
12:09am Saturday 5th January 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Four young children were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning after their grandmother brought a barbecue indoors to dry her washing.
The woman, who has not been named, lit the device which she set up in the family kitchen before leaving the house.
Her three-year-old granddaughter collapsed when she was overcome by the deadly gas later that afternoon and was treated in hospital with five of her relatives. They included two boys aged two and 10 months, a four-year-old girl and the woman's two daughters-in-law, aged 26 and 29.
Firefighters were called to the home on Hockley Avenue, in East Ham, east London, on Wednesday afternoon, soon after the grandmother set up her make-shift launderette.
A spokesman for London Fire Brigade said the elderly woman carried the barbecue in from her garden at around 3pm and placed it near the back door to speed up the drying of clothes which she hung out around the kitchen. She then walked out, leaving her daughters-in-law in the house with her grandchildren, two of whom were asleep upstairs.
One adult began to feel unwell before the little girl collapsed. All six have now been discharged from hospital.
Fire chiefs branded the grandmother's behaviour dangerous and campaigners warned of the hazards of bringing barbecues indoors.
Dave Brown, of London Fire Brigade, said: "In my 28-year career I have never heard of anybody using a barbecue to dry clothes let alone using one indoors. Never, ever bring a lit or smouldering barbecue indoors. Not only is it a serious fire risk but it also omits carbon monoxide (CO) which is a poisonous gas that can kill or seriously injure."
Christine McGourty, of the Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed! campaign, said: "Using a barbecue indoors is always dangerous, but carbon monoxide poisoning is usually caused by faulty or poorly maintained fuel appliances, such as boilers, ovens and fires. We'd urge everyone to get an alarm and make sure their family is safe."
The Department of Health believes 50 people are killed by the gas each year, while at least 4,000 are treated in hospital. But this figure is likely to be much higher because of difficulties surrounding the diagnosis of CO poisoning. Symptoms are often similar to common illnesses like flu and food poisoning.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- Marin Software, provider of a leading digital ad management platform for advertisers and agencies, today announced the global results of a study on Google Product Listing Ads (PLAs). According to Marin's findings, in the last year the click share of PLAs as a percent of total search clicks increased 210% as consumers increased their engagement with the ads, which appear as image results in Google Search and as product listings within Google Shopping. Google transitioned Google Shopping to a commercial model in October 2012, and the bet appears to be paying off with Marin finding that advertisers increased their share of search budgets directed towards PLAs by nearly 600% in the last quarter of 2012.

The Sagebrush Round-Up has been around the Fairmont area since the 1930s.
Every Saturday of the year it hosts three to four country music bands.
On months that have five Saturdays instead of four it hosts a Bluegrass night.
The building is also the home to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum for West Virginia.
The Sagebrush Round-Up has been a family friendly establishment for years.
"It's a great place for the whole family. No smoking, no drinking, and it's a great place to come socialize" said Bill Janoske, treasurer for the Sagebrush Round-Up.
A lot of different things are also offered along with the music.
"We have a country store with all kinds of souvenirs. We have a great kitchen that makes home cooked meals from 5:00 p.m. on. It's just a great place to come and spend a Saturday night and hear some live country music," Janoske said.
The Sagebrush Round-Up opens at 5 p.m. every Saturday.

UFC Gifs – Uriah Hall vs Adam Cella TUF Fight Finish Gif Animated.
Multiple angles of Uriah Hall's spinning wheel kick to the head knockout of Adam Cella from TUF 17.
Thank Elements Of War for the MMA gif.
Jesus!! That's a wicked kick!!
Very Nice. Not as fast as Edson Barbosas but still good.
It's a spinning hook kick but it comes off almost like a spinning back kick to the face (Badr Hari syle) due to the heel hitting straight forward flush to the face. Cella's lucky his jaw isn't broken.
Now we just need someone to KO someone in the UFC with a Rolling Thunder…
edson aint a middelweight
After seeing that bum hit the mat, it makes me wish it was Tito that ate that kick. Hate f****** Tito.
It has been confirmed that Stven Seagal taught Uriah Hall this kick!
@sqirt: You hate f****** Tito? Stop f****** him then.
@metaal…….nobody said he was dude…smfh
@ failsonnen – you are correct sir. That was pretty much a glorified spin hook kick. It looked Straight out of the TKD move set. That just shows how devastating TKD can be if executed correctly. Of course all martial arts forms can be lethal by a skilled person.
No doubt about it that Uriah is a killer and has terrific kicks!
derp derp that is why you never try to block body kicks, keep your hands up dumbass. i swear only retards try to block body shots
funny how Cella was talking himself up and gets owned with that. The kick was fast but it's still a spinning move so I'm surprised it worked.
The funniest part was Cella explaining how he doesn't have to be there and I was thinking, I don't think having no motivation can help…
i know it was powerful.
but it reminded me of a backhanded bitch slap. lol
Only retards block body shots? Did you see what happened to Cerrone most recently?
A lot of uneducated people on here hating..

Chicago's top cop wants force in better shape
By Fran Spielman and Annie Sweeney
CHICAGO — Chicago's new top cop said he is considering a mandated physical fitness test for officers, one that could also take into account body fat, not only how much a cop weighs.
Saying the current system of using cash to encourage cops to get fit doesn't work, Supt. Jody Weis said any requirements probably would be grandfathered in and nothing will likely happen for a year. He also knows he has to work with the union.

Cuccinelli backs human trafficking legislation
Legislation to curtail human trafficking in Virginia has gathered bipartisan support early in the General Assembly's 2013 session.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli called the offense one of the fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the country. He said Tuesday that Virginia was feeling the effect.
"Traffickers profit from the control and exploitation of children and adults – taking victims by threat, force, or coercion to exploit them for forced labor or sexual servitude. And it is happening right here in our commonwealth," Cuccinelli said at a press conference.
Additionally, Cuccinelli announced a series of two-day training sessions for law enforcement and prosecutors across the state over the next six months. The first session starts today (Wednesday) in Northern Virginia.
The attorney general has a history of supporting measures to curb human trafficking. He introduced bills to combat the crime during his stint as a state senator and served on a human trafficking advisory group.
Cuccinelli pledged his support to the four bills and urged legislators to pass them:
HB 1606, sponsored by Delegate Timothy Hugo, R-Fairfax, and Senate Bill 1015, by Sen. Janet Howell, D-Reston: These measures would increase the penalty for soliciting prostitution from a minor from a misdemeanor to a Class 5 or Class 6 felony, depending on the victim's age.
HB 1870, sponsored by Delegate Robert Bell, R-Charlottesville: This bill would alter Virginia's basic human trafficking statute to include "receiving money for procuring a person" as an offense punishable by a multijurisdictional grand jury. Jurisdiction would not be an issue in prosecuting human traffickers operating across county lines.
HB 1826, sponsored by Delegate Ronald Villanueva, R-Virginia Beach: This measure would also address issues in jurisdiction when investigating human trafficking. It would allow officers to keep pursuing an investigation into human trafficking outside of their own jurisdiction.
Both Republicans and Democrats joined Cuccinelli to express support for the legislation. They included Howell, Hugo and Secretary of the Commonwealth Janet Kelly.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Navitas Naturals Yacon Power Dried Yacon Slices - 4 oz. (113 g)
Navitas Naturals Peruvian Yacon products are certified organic, kosher and raw. Navitas Naturals practice fair trade purchasing and recently our Peruvian partners were awarded Fair Trade certification. All ourNavitas Naturals raw Yacon products are processed at temperatures below 118 degrees Fahrenheit. The Yacón is grown in the Andes for its crisp, sweet-tasting tuberous root. Navitas Naturals Yacon Slices are an ancient South American snack -- a delicious tuber that tastes more like a fruit than a root. Yacon has an outstanding reputation for being one of the healthiest alternative sweeteners available on the market due to its high concentration of inulin, low glycemic impact, and healthy naturally-occurring probiotics. When simply sliced and dehydrated, yacon has a taste resembling a dried apple with a hint of smokiness. Enjoy these pure and natural yacon slices as a snack, cut into salads, or as an exotic alternative to other dried fruits.
Yacon Power™ uses only finest organic Yacon from Oxapampa, Peru. The texture and flavor have been described as a cross between a fresh apple and watermelon which is why it is sometimes referred to as the apple of the earth. You can eat the dried Yacon slices like any other dried fruit – out of the bag or add them to salads, cereals and desserts.
Source and Processing
Navitas Naturals Yacon is grown in the Oxapampa region of the Peruvian Andes. After harvest, the roots are washed, peeled, and run through a slicing machine. They are then dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve the nutrients. This product contains 100% pure yacon and is certified organic, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and raw.
Yacon (ya-kon) a large, crisp tuber, which serves as the root for the perennial yacon plant of the Asteraceae family.
Apple of the Earth
Beneath a sprawling, untidy South American plant, lays a powerful health food: the mighty yacon. Often coined the "apple of the earth" due to its inherent sweet and juicy crunch, yacon is extensively used in its native habitats as both a delicious food and an effective treatment for various ailments. While wonderful eaten fresh, this mellow root also possesses a delicate sweetness that can be extracted and used as a healthy sugar substitute.
The Power of Yacon
A valuable health food and alternative sweetener, yacon's greatest attribute is its naturally high content of inulin, a complex sugar that breaks down slowly into fructooligosaccharides (FOS). The high levels of FOS is a quality that is beneficial for two reasons. First, although yacon tastes sweet, the sugar of inulin is not digestible and simply passes through the body. Therefore yacon only contains about half the calories of an average sugar source. Secondly, FOS promotes the production of healthy probiotics within the body, which can contribute to better digestion and colon health.
The Sweetness of Health
Living up to its "apple of the earth" nickname, dried yacon slices have a taste and texture similar to dried apple slices. They make a special condiment when added to salads and are a fresh and new type of snack. The syrup of the yacon has a similar flavor to molasses, and is incredible when used in sweet treats, smoothies, or drizzled on top of starchy root vegetables. The powder also sweetens recipes, and is perfect when incorporated into dry or baked goods. Whatever form it's used in, yacon is an exciting way to add a little more sweetness to your diet, without raising blood sugars or adding a high amount of calories.
Cultivation of yacon began as long ago as 1200 B.C.! For generations, this tuber has been consumed to strengthen the immune system and improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic liver disease, kidney ailments and diabetic symptoms. Indigenous Andeans still use yacon leaves extensively in folk medicine to brew teas that aid in lowering blood sugar.
Navitas Naturals mission is to provide premium quality organic power foods that increase energy and enhance health. Navitas products are of the highest quality, sourced directly from farmers, cultivated sustainably and in accordance with fair trade practices.
Try Yacon Slices right out of the bag on their own, or in salads, desserts, and smoothies.

The decision was likely decided upon for some time, but when Johnny Depp revealed he'd been toying with plans of retirement, it was difficult not to think of Disney's "The Lone Ranger" as a deciding factor. Three weeks on from its tepid $50 million opening, critics have both continued to bury it and risen to its defense, and while the dust slowly clears for everyone involved to move on, producer Jerry Bruckheimer believes in the end that distance will prove the best perspective.
During the TV Critics Association press tour while promoting his new CBS thriller "Hostages," Bruckheimer briefly brought up his decades of experience in the business, and pointed to a corresponding moment that displayed similar symptoms. "It reminds me of a critic who called 'Flashdance' a 'toxic dump,'" he said of his 1983 producing effort. "Ten years later [the critic] said, 'This is really a good movie. I missed it.' I think ['Lone Ranger'] going to be looked back on as a brave, wonderful film."
Among those who have seen it, a lack of boldness doesn't seem to be an overwhelming criticism of the film; director Gore Verbinski attempts a unique blend of historical elements, jarring violence, and crowd-pleasing tendencies that doesn't quite gel. But while the waiting game begins for Bruckheimer to be vindicated in his comments, the producer believes Europe had a fairer glance at the film than America.
"You always want to get good reviews, but you know, it's reversed in Europe," he said. "It's 70 percent good reviews and 30 percent mixed there. So, that happens." What do you think? Is "The Lone Ranger" destined to ride into the sunset as a future classic? [Vulture]
Rob | July 31, 2013 11:08 AM
I doubt it. If Hollywood does crash in near future as some have predicted, I think this film will be remembered as the early signs that doom was coming like "Heaven's Gate" was for the 70s filmmakers. I wouldn't want to be remembered for bankrupting an industry.
ZAROVE | July 30, 2013 5:35 PM
Mayb if he'd made an actually Faithful rendition of "The Lone Ranger", where he's a Hero, Tonto is respectable and nto a crzy graverobber, and the point is to take in (not Kill) the bad men, this woudl have worked better than the goofy bafuun Ranger, the Insane Tonto, the slightly Anti-Chrisian, defintiely Anti-Progress schlockfest this film portrayed.

DArtagnan | July 30, 2013 11:22 AM
Would he be willing to bet a million on it? I'd take that bet.
And Flashdance may be iconic, but it's far from a great film.
Patrick | July 30, 2013 10:03 AM
With both films in their 4th week of release, heavily hyped LR got topped in the weekend box office by The Way, Way Back which showed on a third fewer screens. It's a bloated, expensive shitburger, Jerry.

From CNN:
Pensacola, Florida (CNN) - Mitt Romney will cancel his scheduled campaign events in Virginia on Sunday as a major storm nears the U.S. East Coast, campaign spokesman Rick Gorka said Saturday.
Instead the Republican presidential nominee will head to Ohio, another crucial battleground, and join his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, on a previously scheduled bus tour.
Romney's campaign on Friday had already nixed a Sunday evening event in Virginia Beach due to news of Hurricane Sandy's potential trajectory. However, the campaign further scrubbed its plans and decided to cross off events in Haymarket and Richmond.
The events were canceled as "a cautionary move so resources would not be diverted" in the state, according to Gorka.
"The campaign has been in contact with Governor McDonnell and his staff," Gorka said.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is slated to travel to Orlando, Florida.
The Category 1 storm moved slowly off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday, having left at least 45 dead in its wake in the Caribbean and Central America.
It is expected to begin seriously affecting heavily populated coastal areas in the East as early as Sunday.

Inn at Craig Place

Visit website
Thinking about buying a B&B? It just may be the time for you to finally take that bold step, and we have the perfect place for you - where both the winters and the people are warm and friendly.
As the #1 B&B in San Antonio for the past five years (as per Trip Advisor), the Inn at Craig Place enjoys year-round strong occupancy, which includes many in-town guests looking for a weekend getaway "staycation." This popular, historic 1891 inn is situated in the heart of San Antonio, Texas, and is centrally located a mile north of the famous Riverwalk and within a mile of Brackenridge Park/ Golf Course, San Pedro Springs Park, Trinity University, Incarnate Word University, and close to many other of the city's oldest attractions. Since the economy remains strong in Texas, San Antonio is booming and growing in both new business and population while tourists/visitors continue to flood into the center of this vibrant city. The city continues to add new attractions, restaurants and bike lanes to the downtown/midtown area each year. With four active military bases around the city and the increasing population, there is always a need for the perfect spot for a romantic getaway and a beautiful, intimate wedding venue like this one. All in all, these demographics make downtown SA the perfect place to own a B&B.
And the best part for the innkeeper? The beautiful, newly renovated carriage house/innkeepers' quarters with a private garage and private laundry facility. Enjoy the privacy you deserve in the up-to-date, modern 1200 sq. foot carriage house with corner jacuzzi tub/shower, beamed cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom, designer kitchen with granite countertop, and a separate living/dining area with patio. The second bedroom has a built-in desk and extensive built-in shelving, so it can double as an additional office area. (The inn has its own office as well.) The third bedroom in the carriage house has a private bath with walk-in double shower, separate living area with an electric fireplace and a private entrance and balcony, suitable for additional family members (as the current owners utilized the space for their daughters) or as a separate revenue-generating room. This separate area of the carriage house was renovated in late 2013 in preparation for the space to become a 6th room for the inn and includes a private hot tub.
The inn and carriage house sit on 1/3 acre. Garden arches lead into a beautiful, "secret" garden on the east side of the main house, the site of the outdoor weddings. A gated area leads into the east end of the carriage house and up to the private balcony. The property boasts towering trees and lush landscaping with a newly paved drive that curves around the back to the lighted parking area.
The main house is also in pristine condition and was originally constructed with elements that reflect the Victorian era (as seen in its curved porches) and blended with Arts and Crafts elements as seen in its fabulous woodworking, oak wainscoting and inlaid designs in its hardwood floors. Towering 11 foot ceilings in every room add to the majestic feel. The original fireplaces have inlaid tile, each room with its own design. The parlor and dining room fireplaces have been converted to gas while all other fireplaces in the guest rooms are now electric for year-round ambiance. The four-walled dining room mural is attributed to Julian Onderdonk, a famous Texas artist of the early 1900s.
Pass from the dining room through the original swinging door, and you enter the office area (an unusual extra for a B&B) which initially served as the breakfast room, and contains the original mosaic tile floor and large windows. This space is roomy enough to allow guests to have a seat in comfortable wingback chairs while checking in and discussing area maps and activities. Outside of the office is the kitchen, which is quite large for a home of its era. Renovated in the mid-80s, but classically designed with cherry cabinets and beautiful tumbled marble counters, the kitchen was further expanded in 2001 to allow for extra storage, a second refrigerator, and a powder room across from the office. A laundry room was later added at the base of the butler's stairway for easy access to kitchen and rooms. Upstairs boasts an eclectic library, which opens onto a beautiful, curved balcony where guests love to have breakfast or just relax with a glass of wine. Renovations, restorations and repairs on the inn have been done as needed throughout the decades so that everything is always in tip-top shape and nothing is left in disrepair, allowing for an easy, seamless transition for a new owner to step in and generate revenue.
Innkeepers will also love the convenience of being one mile from the grocery store, ten minutes from the airport and less than ten minutes from upscale shopping and dining areas as well as being close to major wholesale clubs, a big contrast to rural B&B's. And most importantly, you don't have to renovate and build a B&B business from scratch. This turnkey business comes with strong advanced bookings for both rooms and weddings, so you will start right out generating revenue. Even during the latest recession, the Inn at Craig Place has increased in revenue year over year. In addition to the increasing revenue from its five rooms (all with private baths) the inn hosts intimate weddings, which currently boost annual revenue by an additional 90%. There are also opportunities for additional wedding revenue which the current owners opted not to pursue.
This turnkey sale includes furniture, fixtures, linens, cookware, serve-ware, flatware, wedding inventory, new web site (completed in Nov. 2013), business logo and all imprinted inventory (champagne glasses, wine glasses, mugs, robes), customer base, and goodwill. Current owners are willing to mentor the new owners, if requested, as they plan to remain in San Antonio near their children/grandchildren. More detailed financial information available for qualified and pre-approved buyers only.

Love is waiting and receiving the good things that He has promised unto you. Love is listening to the gentle patter of rain drops on your window sill on a Saturday morning.
Love is grabbing the fruit pack that Mothers prepares each morning. Love tells you that you are a precious daughter.
Love sends you the morning text message saying he loves you and misses you. Love is the achy little pang that you feel at the end of a work day, thinking of him andhis cheeky smile.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is the smile that comes from tasting the little morsels from the tupperware.
Love is committing to listen to his ventilations, grouses and pants of emotional turmoil. Love is speaking encouragement into those late hours and telling him everything is okay.
Love is sharing the cardigan in the icy cold cinema. And then being distracted the rest of the show. Love is the presence of His grace that hugs you close in deep worship.
Love is choosing not to answer with biting words or to drip with sarcasm. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.
Love is savoring the packet of fried bee hoon while the rain continues to drip on Saturday morning. Love is persisting on despite the differences. The differences that appear to be important.
Love tells you that you are gorgeous without eyeliner, concealer or powder. Love chooses to put those on so that you will look good for him.Or for yourself. Or both.
Love giggles at the memories of late nights at East Coast Park. Love remembers light drizzles, long conversations and warm cuddles. I heart ECP.
Love defends your boy from difficult questions. Questions that seek to undermine him. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
Love sacrifices sleep for long phone talks, 3am maggi goreng and unending hugs. Love is sharing your life reflections and journey over a tipple of merlot.
Love is discipline in action. Of values, faith and walking with Him. Love finds the perfect fit beween his lips and yours.
Love wants us to grow old together. Do sexagenarians still make love? Let us find out. Love is the unbridled clawing of your back during those moments. Moments of unrestrained passion.
Love transforms a girl into a woman. Girls like. Women love. Love bears all things, believes all things, hope all things and endures all things.
For eyes that are shining, for cheeks like the dawn,
For beauty that lasts after girlhood has gone,
For prices in reason the women who know
Now buy their cosmetics from Aesclyptoe.
(Fletcher, 2010)
Fletcher, Winston. 2010. Advertising. A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press.
We all are, one way or another.
Some seek inwardly, others on what they see.
The eyes deceive and we know it. But we enjoy it anyway. I do. I think you do too.
For the inner secrets, where else does one go but to the bits of written prose and poetry left behind by the masters?
The lithe of youth, the cunning mind. The ways of the world, of commerce, culture and cookery.
Passion sublimated and iron rage tempered by stillness. Chilly winds still the body and the breath stills the mind.
Sweet honey in the rock.
In the library.

Monetary donations-- http://www.gofundme.com/6xaxfw
Drop off locations-- Dolce Vita Children's Store in New Hartford Shopping Center, Universal Yoga Center, and Scarafile Chiropractic on Clinton Road.
Donations needed-- A 1-month-old newborn and a 2-year-old boy are in need of books, clothes, shoes, diapers (size newborn and 3T), and toys. There's also a 27-year-old-female (size small), 27-year-old male (size 34/34, large) and a 67-year-old-female (size medium).
The Town of New Hartford remembering 3-year-old Jordan Morinitti, 7-year-old Joshua Morinitti, and 21-year-old Jennifer Moore who died in a house fire Saturday. Osborn Avenue neighbors are still in shock that three lives were taken so fast.
Ruins, ashes and a memorial are all that stand at 11 Osborn Avenue. In the house just beyond it, neighbors grieve.
"The wouldn't want us to be sad and all we can do is be happy that everyone else made it out alive," said Morgan Matys.
Tammy Matys and her daughter are close with the family next door.
"I've known Josh and Jordan since they were babies and I knew Jennifer since she was in first, second grade--they were like my family, Jen was like my own child," said Tammy Matys.
"I knew Jen when my mom used to babysit her and it was really sad because I knew her very well," said Morgan Matys.
For this family, escaping those memories will be near impossible because every time they step out their door or look out their window, they'll have a painful reminder.
"It's very hard because I don't want to leave the house and I can see it through my own windows," said Tammy.
Nothing will replace the the lives lost in that home but neighbors are banding together to replace basic needs.
"Tons of emails, tons of messages, already donations, and its been less than 24 hours since I started the campaign for the donations so it's been amazing," said Pamela Howe of New Hartford.
A call to action--that not only helps the victim's family but also those coping with their loss.
"They were good people and it really stinks because they had their whole lives ahead of them," said Morgan.
"She was a very strong person, a very strong will, care-free, kind," said Tammy.
