A happy weekend, this, for the ramblers of Britain. They're off exploring the "mountain, moorland, heath, down and registered common land" that are now open to the cagoule-wearing community courtesy of the right to roam, which has just come into effect. But not for Alun Michael, the Rural Affairs minister, whose right to roam is strictly limited to urban areas, having enraged so many in the countryside by his volte-face on hunting that the police advised him to stay at home.
A happy weekend, this, for the ramblers of Britain. They're off exploring the "mountain, moorland, heath, down and registered common land" that are now open to the cagoule-wearing community courtesy of the right to roam, which has just come into effect. But not for Alun Michael, the Rural Affairs minister, whose right to roam is strictly limited to urban areas, having enraged so many in the countryside by his volte-face on hunting that the police advised him to stay at home.
The ramblers had better make the most of the open countryside while it lasts, though, because if the New Statesman has its way, there may not be much of it left a great deal longer. It has launched a campaign to liberate the land of England from the landowners of Eng-land. "No one," it says in a stirring editorial, "can easily defend the situation ... whereby 158,000 families own 41 million acres while the rest of us - 24 million families - live on just four million acres. Still less can anyone defend the system whereby, through the European Union, the big landowners receive subsidies from taxpayers."
Well, that last bit is being sturdily defended by the Department of Rural Affairs, for one. What the NS is complaining about is the dissociation of subsidies from farming production, which is part of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, for which every environmental group in the country has been campaigning for years.
In launching this exciting campaign, the NS follows the lead given by Sir Ferdinand Mount, Margaret Thatcher's former policy adviser, who has written warmly in his latest book on the modern class divide, Mind the Gap, about the iniquity of planning legislation that limits the rights of the people of Britain to build on the land of Britain. By liberating land for building on, he wants "to help the Downers [viz, the underclass] break out of their ghettos...".
If this sounds rather familiar, that's because we have been here before. In the early years of the last century, the British government gave small Irish farmers (the farms were small, I mean, not the farmers) the right to buy their farms from the big landowners. It worked. Similarly, G K Chesterton in the Thirties led a movement, Distributivism, which campaigned for the people of England to be given plots of land to turn them into independent peasant proprietors like those in France.
The observant reader will have spotted, however, the difference between the Mount/New Statesman campaign and its predecessors. Whereas the former movements to redistribute land involved creating a mass of small farms, the new redistribution would involve creating several million Barrett homes.
They like to refer to Ireland as a state in which any citizen can buy a plot of land and build a bungalow on it. Quite a few of my schoolfriends did just this, and it's an object lesson in what not to do. You end up with a rash of incongruous and unpleasant houses, with American-style porticos, scattered randomly throughout the countryside in a fashion that makes tourists weep. And that's in a country of four million people. Britain has 60 million.
Ramblers, bird-fanciers and environmentalists may have had their differences in the past with the landowners of England. I fancy, though, that in this particular class war, they will find themselves squarely behind the dukes against the new champions of the proletariat. They've won the right to roam - over concrete?
New Best Friend
My, Cherie Blair's birthday celebrations last week sounded like fun. Poor Melvyn Bragg was in the doghouse. And then there was Carole Caplin, sulking visibly. Possibly because she was elbowed from her rightful place next to Cherie at dinner by Mrs Blair's new best friend, Martha Greene, 48, an American-born restaurateur. They met at Holmes Place gym. This may cheer up Mrs Blair's previous adviser, Fiona Millar, who has described being supplanted by the "flaky" Caplin.
But if Miss Caplin's influence has been problematic, Mrs Greene's doesn't sound much better. Her role is apparent in a photoshoot for the forthcoming Harper's Bazaar in which Cherie lounges on a couch in a Vivienne Westwood (read bodice, read cleavage) ballgown, with very dark eye make-up. Like so many brainy women, Mrs Blair seems captivated by the chance of looking glamorous. And like so many brainy women, she has rotten judgement in Best Friends.
One real campaigner for the underclass was Harold Davidson, the vicar of Stiffkey (pronounced Stookey, just to trap the unwary) of immortal memory, who fell spectacularly from grace more than 70 years ago. His career is the stuff of legend: the vicar of this rural Norfolk parish specialised in a ministry to fallen women. Most of his week was spent in London, helping prostitutes out of prostitution, and quite often he would bring them home to meet his wife and five children. Indeed, on one occasion he was so late back home that he rode his bicycle up the aisle of the church to make it in time for Sunday communion.
I know what you're thinking and you ought to be ashamed of yourselves, but the suspicions roused by every male philanthropist who engages with prostitutes (including Gladstone) did indeed fall on the poor vicar. He was accused and condemned of immorality by a consistory court after a set-up in which a young girl removed her clothes in front of him and a couple of photographers to make a sensational picture for the papers. Defrocked and embittered, he finished his career as an exhibit in a circus. He was devoured with zeal - by a lion, whose tail he trod on.
It is pleasing to record that this ornament to Anglicanism is now being rehabilitated in a new biography by Jonathan Tucker, who found that one prosecution witness against the vicar admitted that she had been given money by his enemies to testify against him and her revised evidence was never allowed. It all goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished. But am I alone in thinking that if the Church of England could boast more clerical eccentrics like the vicar of Stiffkey, it would have a securer place in the affections of the nation?
There was grateful approval from all those opposed to the war in Iraq for the declaration this week by Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, that the war was "illegal". And, duly, all the MPs who discussed his pronouncement spoke reverently about their "respect" for Mr Annan. But, granted his utility as a stick with which to beat the Government, does the man deserve respect from anyone?
Earlier this year, Mr Annan played a prominent role in the UN commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda. Not just because of his present position in charge of the United Nations, but for his role back then when he was in charge of UN peacekeeping military operations. In that capacity, he not only ignored warnings of the planned mass murder, he also presided over the scandalous flight of Belgian UN peacekeepers from Rwanda, leaving the genocide to take place unhindered. The appalling consequences of his moral and political failure to prevent the murder of nearly a million people were articulated in a damning report for the UN by the former Swedish prime minister Ingvar Carlsson in 1999.
To his credit, Mr Annan has admitted that there was more that he "could and should" have done to prevent and curb the genocide, but does anyone else find it extraordinary that, having presided over the UN's single greatest failure, the man can then go on to become its Secretary-General? And be regarded with "respect" by Britain's amnesiac parliamentarians?

no more fizzy tap water?

I read something that the water folks in Utilities have been doing work and to expect some air bubbles in the system over the next few weeks. The lack of water use and the main pumps being off yesterday may have allowed some of the trapped water to get purged.

on Feb 20, 2010 at 9:04 am
When I asked about the fizzy, white water, someone at the Utilities dept told me that they had been experimenting with the pressure of the water, which is what was causing the white appearance. The water has been fizzy throughout Palo Alto for many weeks.

My tap water was fizzy since the beginning of the year, but turned clear during the power failure and is still clear today. No one else is experiencing this?

I have Windows XP. I recently downloaded a Picasa update and since then when I connect my card reader to download photos I only get the option to do this via Picasa. It no longer automatically starts the Scanner and Camera Wizard. How do I restore my settings so that the Scannner and Camera wizard automatically starts?

Try this:
- Open up My Computer
- Right-click on the drive that represents your memory card reader slot drive.
- Left-click on Properties
- Click on the AutoPlay tab
- Click on the dot Select Action to Perform
- Choose the appropriate one

I have done as you've advised but in the Select Action to Perform for pictures there is only a choice of 'Copy Pictures to your computer using Picasa 3' or 'Take No Action'

Posted July 6, 2011 at 12:30PM
Very strange you do not get more choices than those two, seems like picasa has taken over complete charge of picture files.
Are you able to select the 'Prompt me each time to choose an action'?
Choose 'Take No Action' and Apply, and then with your card reader connected try this workaround:
- Start
- Run
- type or copy & paste the following
- wiaacmgr.exe
- click ok
That manually starts the Scanner and Camera Wizard
(It may be that you will have to alter the file associations but will get back to you on that, or maybe someone else will post with more info.)

Yes I get 'Prompt me each time to choose and action'. I did as you suggested but when I ran wiaacmgr.exe I got a message saying that the computer cannot detect the camera or scanner and suggested that I go to the Control Panel and Add Device under Scanners and Cameras. I tried that but the card reader manufacturer or device is not listed.

Is this a usb plug in card reader? (such as you can plug it in any usb port)
Did you have a card with pictures on it connected when you ran wiaacmgr.exe ?
AutoPlay "in the Select Action to Perform for pictures there is only a choice of 'Copy Pictures to your computer using Picasa 3' or 'Take No Action'"
I think the problem lies within that.... but I don't know why the other options don't show up. The one that needs to be selected is 'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard'
There was an XP update not long ago that disabled the Autoplay feature (I declined it) so I wonder if you have got it installed and that may be the problem or it might possibly be a setting in Picasa3.

Posted July 6, 2011 at 9:08PM
Yes it's a plug in card reader and yes it had a card with pictures when I ran wiaacmgr.exe.
It worked fine until I updated Picasa 3. I just wonder how to alter the settings so I can have the option again of 'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard'
Thanks for your help so far.

Huge challenge with time pressure - Gandelin, Chief Designer Sauber
The Sauber F1 Team today presented the new Sauber C33-Ferrari with which its two drivers, Esteban Gutiérrez (MX, 22) and Adrian Sutil (DE, 31), will be lining up on the grid for the start of the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship. The new C33 posed a huge challenge for the designers of the team. The changes to the regulations introduced for 2014 are arguably the most sweeping ever seen in Formula One. As far as the engine in particular is concerned, the changes require a completely new concept. In place of last season's naturally aspirated 2.4-litre V8 engine comes a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 power unit, backed up by an energy recovery system (ERS) which is twice as powerful as in...

Hacienda Uayamon, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Uayamon
Our villas and suites have been fully restored and adapted to today's needs. A specific restoration project worked to maintain the Hacienda's particular architectural personality by conserving the same spirit that its former owners gave to it. Thus, in some cases, the restoration brings together contemporary and traditional aspects, allowing the new spaces to highlight the artistic and architectural value of the Hacienda's original features.
The Indonesian architect, Jaya Ibrahim, designed the guest rooms and public areas, giving our Hacienda a very unique touch. Large, bulbous pegs in the guest room's stonewalls hold the woven cotton hammocks, for which Yucatan is famous, allowing you to sleep in the Mayan style.
A sua próxima estadia neste hotel da Luxury Collection será enriquecida pelos nossos quartos sem nenhum vestígio de fumaça de cigarros.

Ingredients, fillings, and toppings ideas include jellies, honey, syrup, creams, and of course, spices.

I am counting down the days till AUGUST! although I won't ovulate till the end of the month so I won't find out if I'm pregnant till mid september. With DS I had a very hard time (mentally) with gaining weight. I started off 125 and stopped at 168! AND I delivered at 37 weeks! This time around I'm going to only wear adorable clothes, no frumpy t shirts or anything. I can't wait to have the cute bump again! Ok, my rambling is done!
Sooo excited!

The School in Our Village
Like many working moms, I've always been counting down the days until kindergarden. How long until I no longer have to pay double digit thousands of dollars for childcare? How long until a bus can pick my child up and take her to school and then deliver her back home? Lately, I'm reconsidering. I don't have anything against it, I am just so in love with the private school that my daughters attend. We love it so much, we are willing to travel 30 minutes each way in rush hour traffic so that they can go there. We are willing to pay the same amount as daycare but with far less coverage (late afternoons, summers).

The sculpture by artist Ervin Loránth Hervé was made from polystyrene and covered with turf patches to look like the grass was being ripped from the ground (hence the sculptures name, "Feltépve", which means "Ripped Up").

Bosses at failing hospitals to face criminal charges under new plans
Related Articles
Published: 04 July 2013
Directors in charge of care homes and hospitals can be charged with criminal offences if there are failures in care at their organisations under new plans to stem cases of appalling treatment witnessed at Winterbourne View and Stafford Hospital.
Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb will say that those in charge of organisations where abuse occurs should be held to account.
He will unveil new plans to address the loophole in the system where providers responsible for failures in care can escape prosecution.
Mr Lamb said the proposals will make it easier for the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to prosecute providers and their directors where there are clear failures to meet very basic standards of care.
Since the CQC took charge of regulation of health and social care in 2009, there have been no such prosecutions, a Department of Health spokeswoman said.
She said that providers responsible for appalling care can escape prosecution, even in the worst cases, because the CQC can only prosecute when it has previously issued a warning notice to the provider and it has failed to comply with that warning notice.
Officials want to remove the layer of protection for health and care providers and enable the CQC to be able to prosecute without giving notice.
"Scandals like Winterbourne View and Mid-Staffs have damaged confidence in our health and care system," Mr Lamb said.
"Part of our commitment to rebuilding that trust comes from making sure that people at all levels are held to account for failings when they occur.
"Whilst there must be a sharper focus on corporate accountability, more needs to be done to ensure those responsible for leading a care organisation are up to the job. I hope that providers and people who use services and their families will respond to this consultation as we look to take these proposals forward."
Mr Lamb will also introduce a "fit and proper" test for directors and if they fail the assessment they will be sacked.
The proposals are part of a wider remit of changes to the way the CQC regulates health and social care providers.
Mr Lamb said the new plans would seek to impose fines rather than jail terms following prosecutions.
He told ITV's Daybreak: "We're not jailing but it would be unlimited fines and it will be for the awful cases.
"If you break the fundamental standards that you have to comply with as a provider of care, and you are responsible for that, there are consequences, and I think that's what the public expect."
He added: "There's also a culture when awful things happen, there's a cover up, people get paid off, they get gagged from talking about it. That has to end.
"These pay offs have to end and people at the top of the organisation should be held to account."

Nitinol stone retrieval-assisted ureteroscopic management of lower pole renal calculi
ABSTRACT Objectives. Current ureteroscopic intracorporeal lithotripsy devices and stone retrieval technology allow for the treatment of calculi located throughout the intrarenal collecting system. Difficulty accessing lower pole calculi, especially when the holmium laser fiber is used, is often encountered. We retrospectively reviewed our experience with cases in which lower pole renal calculi were ureteroscopically managed by holmium laser fragmentation, either in situ or by first displacing the stone into a less dependent position with the aid of a nitinol stone retrieval device.Methods. Thirty-four patients (36 renal units) underwent ureteroscopic treatment of lower pole renal calculi between April 1998 and November 1999. Lower pole stones less than 20 mm were primarily treated by ureteroscopic means in patients who were obese, in patients who had a bleeding diathesis, in patients with stones resistant to shock wave lithotripsy, and in patients with complicated intrarenal anatomy, or as a salvage procedure after failed shock wave lithotripsy. Lower pole calculi were fragmented with a 200-μm holmium laser fiber by way of a 7.5F flexible ureteroscope. For those patients in whom the laser fiber reduced the ureteroscopic deflection, precluding re-entry into the lower pole calix, a 3.2F nitinol basket or a 2.6F nitinol grasper was used to displace the lower pole calculus into a more favorable position, allowing easier fragmentation.Results. In 26 renal units, routine in situ holmium laser fragmentation was successfully performed. In the remaining 10 renal units, a nitinol device was passed into the lower pole, through the ureteroscope, for stone displacement. Only a minimal loss of deflection was seen. Irrigation was significantly reduced by the 3.2F nitinol basket, but improved with the use of the 2.6F nitinol grasper. This factor did not impede stone retrieval in any of the patients. At 3 months, 85% of patients were stone free by intravenous urography or computed tomography.Conclusions. Ureteroscopic management of lower pole calculi is a reasonable alternative to shock wave lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with low-volume stone disease. If the stone cannot be fragmented in situ, nitinol basket or grasper retrieval, through a fully deflected ureteroscope, allows one to reposition the stone into a less dependent position, thus facilitating stone fragmentation.

Article: Prospective randomized trial comparing shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy for lower pole caliceal calculi 1 cm or less.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The optimal management of lower pole renal calculi is controversial. We compared shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) for the treatment of patients with small lower pole stones in a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial. A total of 78 patients with 1 cm or less isolated lower pole stones were randomized to SWL or URS. The primary outcome measure was stone-free rate on noncontrast computerized tomography at 3 months. Secondary outcome parameters were length of stay, complication rates, need for secondary procedures and patient derived quality of life measures. A total of 67 patients randomized to SWL (32) or URS (35) completed treatment. The 2 groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, body mass index, side treated and stone surface area. Operative time was significantly shorter for SWL than URS (66 vs 90 minutes). At 3 months of followup 26 and 32 patients who underwent SWL and URS had radiographic followup that demonstrated a stone-free rate of 35% and 50%, respectively (p not significant). Intraoperative complications occurred in 1 SWL case (unable to target stone) and in 7 URS cases (failed access in 5 and perforation in 2), while postoperative complications occurred in 7 SWL and 7 URS cases. Patient derived quality of life measures favored SWL. This study failed to demonstrate a statistically significant difference in stone-free rates between SWL and URS for the treatment of small lower pole renal calculi. However, SWL was associated with greater patient acceptance and shorter convalescence.The Journal of urology 06/2008; 179(5 Suppl):S69-73. · 3.75 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We developed an optical system to quantify in vitro tip movement of the Lithoclastdouble dagger flexible probe, and correlated various physical parameters of the vibrating probe tip with resultant stone fragmentation. A noncontact optical measurement system was developed to quantify in vitro tip movement of the Lithoclast flexible probe. This system and an in vitro fragmentation model were used to determine the tip displacement, velocity, impact momentum, impact energy and stone fragmentation of the flexible probe at 5 deflection angles between 0 and 48 degrees, and the 2 pneumatic pressure levels of 2.0 and 2.5 bar. An increase in maximum probe tip displacement, velocity, impact momentum and energy, and stone fragmentation was seen as the pneumatic pressure was increased from 2.0 to 2.5 bar. A progressive decrease in these parameters was demonstrated as the probe tip was deflected, especially at deflection angles greater than 24 degrees. Impact momentum appears to be the physical parameter most closely correlated with stone fragmentation efficiency. The optical measurement system and in vitro fragmentation model developed allow one to quickly and reliably assess the performance of flexible pneumatic probes in vitro. This system can be used for general bench testing and basic research that can provide critical information for the design of more effective and efficient flexible pneumatic lithotripsy probes.The Journal of Urology 12/2000; 164(5):1735-9. · 3.75 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) manifests with renal and extrarenal abnormalities and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. In addition to multiple renal cysts, abnormalities such as liver cysts (80%), pancreatic cysts, splenic cysts, pulmonary cysts, berry aneurysms in the distribution of arterial circle of Willis (8%), colonic diverticula, mitral valve prolapse, etc., can be present. The condition will develop in half of the offspring of affected persons because of its 100% penetrance. Nephrolithiasis in patients with ADPKD is not infrequent and, given the importance of preservation of renal function in this subset of patients, a clear understanding of the management options available and their advantages and disadvantages is absolutely essential and critical in better patient outcomes. This article is an endeavor in this direction and provides a review of the current available literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic database search of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane library was performed to search for the available literature in January 2010 with no restrictions in terms of date or language. The search terms used were ADPKD, nephrolithiasis, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, shockwave lithotripsy, flexible ureterorenoscopy, congenital kidney disorders, etc., separately and in various combinations. The articles so extracted were scrutinized for relevance and selected for the review.Journal of endourology / Endourological Society 10/2010; 24(10):1557-61. · 1.75 Impact Factor

- ESRB: Teen
Walls and barriers
You cannot hide behind walls or barriers in first person view unless you plan on staying at that location for awhile. Unlike third person view where you can just tap Y to automatically hide, you must hold Y in first person view to hide. Press Up to look over a barrier or to open fire. Press Left or Right (depending on how you are positioned) to look out.

Facebook announced soaring ad revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 76 percent from the year earlier, to $2.34 billion.
Much of the jump in revenue comes from mobile advertising, which now accounts for about 53 percent of Facebook's total ad revenue. Overall revenue climbed 63 percent to $2.59 billion.
The positive news was reported by Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg.
The company claims about 1.2 billion users, a vast market for advertising messages, but up only 3.4 percent from the third quarter of 2013. The growth rate for mobile users is faster, up 8.1 percent from the third quarter to 945 million, according to an account in the Wall Street Journal.
Facebook's CEO is Mark Zuckerberg.
James Dunn is a senior editor at the San Francisco Business Times. Major projects include editing technology and finance beats, and Best Places to Work.

While digging around for Christmas decorations for Sunday's Ghost of Christmas Past community open house at the Barton County Historical Museum, director Beverly Komarek rediscovered two pieces from the museum's collection, a toy wooden sleigh, and a circa 1890 horse glider. As it turns out, the horse fit with the sleigh just right. A engraved metal plate on the lower cross rail of the glider reads "Converse."
Christmas came a little early for some of the area's helping organizations on Wednesday morning a the Farmers Bank and Trust. Representatives, board members and volunteers from over 30 charitable non-profits attended the bank's 16th Annual Holiday Charity Recognition Coffee.
Note: Content has been changed to correct the time of the program.
At Monday night's Great Bend City Council meeting, City Administrator Howard Partington gave an update on the activities of various city departments in the past couple weeks. Below is a summary of some of the highlights.
The prototype for the Charlie Brown Christmas tree could have come from the Great Plains. Sometimes the "tree" was little more than a decorated branch, but it wouldn't do to let the holiday go by unobserved. Like the forlorn tree in the animated classic, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," some of the trees used by settlers in the nineteenth century were a bit sparse, but the intention was there, says Beverly Komarek, executive director of the Barton County Historical Village and Museum. Barton County Historical Society will celebrate "Ghosts of Christmas Past" with a free open house from 1-4 p ...
Road and Bridge Department Director Dale Phillips held up a stop sign before the County Commission Monday morning, a sign that had been keeping motorists safe in the northeast part of the county until a vandal had used a shotgun to blast two big holes in the sign large enough to put a fist through.
Unseasonably warm weather made it easy for Santa and Mrs. Claus to make their way over to the Great Bend City Auditorium Monday evening for the 16th Annual Santa's Workshop sponsored by student organizations at Great Bend High School.
They're baa-ck. The sheep get some of the best lines in "The Tale of the Drowsy Shepherd," this year's musical production by the fifth and sixth graders of Holy Family School.
A Hoisington man died Sunday night or early Monday when the motorcycle he was driving went off NW 30 Ave. in Barton County.
In June, a county bridge south of Cheyenne Bottoms was damaged when a motorist left the roadway and plowed into it. Monday morning, the Barton County Commission approved having the bridge repaired and suing the driver to recoup the cost of the project.
The Golden Belt Human Society is unique in that it is both an animal shelter and the pound. In most places, these jobs are separate. That means employees at the shelter have a tough job to do.
On Monday, Barton County commissioners learned the details of a proposed transmission line that would carry wind-generated electricity from Ford County to points east. The project thrusts Barton County smack in the center of a gale-force political debate amid talk of the impending "fiscal cliff."
Every year, children of all ages fill their Christmas wish lists, hoping the items will sit beneath their glittering tree on Christmas morning. Sadly, for those in needy families, those wishes go unfulfilled.
Santa and his elves will move their operations from the North Pole to Great Bend on Monday evening. The 16th annual Santa's Workshop runs from 6-8 p.m. at the Great Bend City Auditorium.
With his handmade flutes, John Two-Hawks has played the role of teacher and spiritual healer in previous visits to Great Bend. When he returns to the Crest Theater next Friday, the concert performer of Oglala Lakota Sioux lineage hopes to be an enchanter, taking his audience "into the space where the spirit of Christmas lives."
Live theater choices abound this weekend in Barton County. Adults seeking to quench their thirst for laughter should save at least one night for the Great Bend Community Theatre production, "Beer for Breakfast."
The holiday season is traditionally a time of joy but it also can bring heartache to those who have lost loved ones.
Many talk of living a lifestyle in communion with the earth, but few actually do that. One young couple, Liston and Calvin Marsh have made living close to their rural roots a choice.
With a splash of bold and bright colors, the art show "Drifting Down the Moonlit Path" will highlight the work of artist Jacquelyn Fisher throughout the month of November at Petr's Frame House, 2009 16th St. A reception will be held at 4:30-7:30 p.m. Nov. 29. There is no cost and wine and cheese will be served.
Kansas Highway Patrol worked an injury accident at 5:04 p.m. Friday in Stafford County, after two pickups collided 4 miles southeast of Stafford in the 300 block of SE 100 Ave.
CLAFLIN - Three people were taken to Barton County hospitals on Thursday after a motorist swerved to miss a deer on K-156 at NE 130 Ave., 1 mile south of Claflin.
Kans for Kids Fighting Cancer Foundation announced Wednesday that all of the $215,000 in tax credits awarded to the organization by the Kansas Department of Commerce earlier this year have been purchased and will allow the organization to contribute $300,000 to Barton Community College toward the rebuilding of the Camp Aldrich conference center/dining hall that was lost in a fire early in 2014.
There for a little while, St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center physicians didn't know if a popular primary-care program for military veterans would continue.
Each year, as part of the theater program at Barton Community College, students are asked to take the reins and produce a show entirely by themselves. This year, theater majors Joy Conner and Maili Kee are co-directing "Love, Lust & Lasagna," with showings at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21 in the Barton Planetarium.
Abend Brot or a German Evening Supper will once again be offered by the Ellinwood Community Historical Society during the Kristkindlmart in Ellinwood on Dec. 6 It will begin in late afternoon until 6 p.m.
The laugh is on Neil Simon, literally.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
STAFFORD - It was a grand day to be a Veteran in Stafford County.
Salina firm Harbin Construction won the bid to build a new dining hall for Barton Community College's Camp Aldrich. The original dining hall was destroyed by a fire last April.

Giving this another shot, again.
It would be nice to say that I know exactly who I am looking for. However, who wants perfection? I have standards, but will not limit myself to the potential of someone great, just because of a "checklist." That is NOT to say I do not know what I want in a relationship. While I cannot say that I was ready to settle down yesterday, I can say that I am open to meeting that right person tomorrow. I am motivated to succeed, and willing to go anywhere to achieve my goals. I have achieved a lot in a short time, and am proud of the accomplishment. But I am not interested in only talking about work though. You can count on me to keep my home life and work life separate. Life is too short, and while my career is important to me, when I get home I want to focus on just that, home... I can honestly say, I enjoy the small things in life. I am not a flashy guy. I don't desire the biggest house, the fastest car, or the perfect life. While I have standards, and have surrounded myself with quality things, I am most happy when I am accomplishing a goal, or making others happy.
