My son started Army Cadets early this year and I had absolutely no idea about kit, camp requirements, etc. However, discovering this fabulous, fully stocked local shop, I have been easily able to purchase everything he needed. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and were more than happy to advise on any questions I had. Add to that a 10% discount card for cadet purchases - what more could you ask for? A wonderful shop which offers a unique and friendly service. Highly recommended!

I came to this shop on a recommendation of a friend and I am so glad I went. The staff are so pleasant and friendly, which made me feel at complete ease to ask anything and everything. The knowledge all the staff have is second to none, all drawing on their own personal experiences.
I have never been to a shop where the customer service is so brilliant. I had an issue with my boots being too narrow and they went and got them stretched out for me, I couldn't fit everything in my bag (I'm a terrible packer), so they gladly offered to pack my bag again for me and got everything in plus my small bag becoming empty! If I need anything else in the future I will definitely be coming back here as their kindness and knowledge is unbeatable.

This shop is a real find and so good to have a quality outdoor shop in Weston. Really excellent quality stock, knowledgeable staff, and always prepared to go the extra mile if needed. And...having a car parking space so close is a bonus

As a mountain leader I have spent a lot of time in gear shops all over the country. To have Outdoors and Active on my doorstep in Weston is a real bonus. They stock a huge variety of outdoor equipment for all levels of experience. I can find anything I want to equip an entire party of adventurers from head to toe.
Paul and his staff are really knowledgeable and can offer loads of practical help and advice when making purchases. Its very reassuring to know that they have experience with and have tested most of their stock.
I often have specialist requests for items which if not in stock immediately Paul can special order in for me very quickly and at amazingly good prices.
I wholeheartedly recommend this shop to anyone interested in the outdoors 5 stars PLUS

If you need anything for going outside for any reason, see these guys first. The customer service is beyond fantastic, the product knowledge is excellent and to be welcomed with such a warm smile from two lovely people makes shopping there a real pleasure. I recently purchased a tent from these guys that is suitable for a long distance motorcycle tour and some extra bits to go with it. No request was too much trouble for them, despite my being a very picky outdoor leader. I have tried very hard to think of some criticism and I just cannot find anything to say. So to the lovely people of Outdoor and Active, thank you for your advice (which was excellent), thank you for your time (which was given freely) and thank you for an excellent product that beat the competition hands down. Five stars is not enough.

Outdoors and active well what can I say. Great service by Julie and Paul Batts. They are always willing to help, give great suggestions to keep purchases within your price bracket but yet get the quality you deserve. Slightly off the main drag but once found its a life saver. I have bought lots of little things which have lasted well.. best purchase a pair of pink gilert walking boots... great for walking the dog but also when we had the horrid snow I had to dig my mum out and they were great! Waterproof hard wearing and still pink! love them and would recommend this shop and their service to everyone!
i have to tell you that the service from owner Paul and his wife has been exceptional every time i have visited. their wealth of knowledge has been second to none and i have valued their advice which has been proved correct every time i have sought it. happy customer, ian j

Members of the Citizens for the Protection of Open Space at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park held a pep rally in preparation for their hearing before the Oyster Bay Town Board on Tuesday, Sept. 26. There, Oyster Bay Civic Association President Marie Knight announced that the civic association will present their architect's plan for TR Park right after the Open Space group speaks. The meeting will give the Oyster Bay Town Board more suggestions on what can happen in TR Park, since they will have the final say on how the park continues into this century.
The Nassau County Department of Public Works announced that it has deemed it necessary to once again rehabilitate the Bayville Bridge. This project is one which requires the complete closing of the bridge for 24 days during the month of October. The Bayville Bridge will be closed between Oct. 2 and Oct. 26. The bridge will reopen on Oct. 27. During this time, there will be a detour set up, guiding vehicles down Cleft, Factory Pond and Bayville Roads. The announcement was made by local Legislator Diane Yatauro.
The Endurance, one of OBEN Soccer club's girls U10 teams, made their travel debut this past weekend against Wantagh. Excellent teamwork and hustle contributed to the 5-1 victory. Sonja Drabin started off the scoring. With beautiful passes from Lia Kakolides and Nicole Hauser, Dominique Matarese, the youngest player on the team, scored two goals and Jillian Tiberia netted the other two. Coach John Tiberia commented, "The score doesn't even matter to me. What matters is the way these girls looked to each other on the field and supported each from the sidelines. Each of them gave 100 percent, and win or lose, that's all I ask of them." The majority of the girls on this team have played in tournaments, indoor leagues and pre-travel together and it was evident in their unity on the field. The girls took their home field at East Woods School on Saturday, Sept. 16 against Albertson. Game time was at 1:15pm.
Rachel Nuzzolese, of Upper Brookville, has been selected to play on the U.S. U-15 Women's National Team.

"Grey's Anatomy" recap: Episode 12 – "Start Me Up"
The ambulance opens up and a groom is wheeled out on a stretcher. The groom (named Brady) was trampled by horses on his wedding day. He was marrying My So Called Life's Wilson Cruz.
Yippee, more gay couples! (Thanks Shonda!) Wilson wanted to surprise his Scottish husband with horses and bagpipes but the bagpipes spooked the horse and they ended up running Brady over as they exited the wedding. And that's why I don't play the bagpipes (anymore).
Do you think the horses were conservative and making a political statement?
Brady is wheeled inside and there is so much chaos that Callie screams for everyone to get out before she "takes someone out!" Seriously, don't mess with Callie today.
The Chief, Teddy and Lexie walk down the hallway as the Chief berates Teddy for marrying her patient and committing insurance fraud. Lexie pipes in that according to the National Medical Anti-Fraud Association it's not insurance fraud but it is frowned upon. (Lexie has really grown on me.) Teddy tells the Chief that's it's all said and done and, since Henry now has insurance, the Chief can save his life. The Chief storms off.
Emerging from the elevator, Arizona confides to Mark about her relationship troubles with Callie. (Like he doesn't already know the whole story. The word "lesbro" was invented because of Mark "McSteamy" Sloan.)
Arizona says, "I mean, I get it she has a hang up about me being perfect —" (Umm, Arizona I'm pretty sure that's not it.) Arizona goes on, "I mean everything comes easy for me and I don't have any flaws and now that I've clearly made a mistake she's just going to pound the crap out of it."
Mark laughs at Arizona, "So you don't think you're perfect?"
"No. I have lots of flaws. I'm competitive; I'm a workaholic, I smoke when I'm stressed," Arizona says. "It's disgusting!"
Mark tells her, "I'm sure she'd love to hear all of this, along with any real flaws you come up with." Mark is turning into the Lesbian Whisperer.
Unsurprisingly, Alex is flirting with his first-year student while Arizona, Mark and April (with really red hair &mdsah; did she dye it the day they shot this episode?) tend to their patient, a young girl named Sarah, who was born without check bones. (That condition is Tyra Banks' worst nightmare!) Arizona tells Sarah and her parents that she is going to take pieces of Sarah's skull and transplant them to her face.
That sounds like it's going to hurt.
Teddy checks in on her hubby and gobbles down his hospital fruit cup. What is it with Teddy and the hospital food? It's like her Kryptonite!
Mer's first-year compliments Mer on McDreamy's hotness while Cristina is very curt with her first-year med student (as she is with everyone in her life). The Chief stresses that Cristina needs to be empathetic towards the young doctors. Then the Chief reminds Cristina of the chief resident position, "Empathy is a good quality in a chief resident."

Saturday Night Live alumni apparently travel in threes. This past summer, the Minnesota State Fair hosted a three-pack of comedy legends when former SNL cast members Dana Carvey, Dennis Miller, and Kevin Nealon hit the Grandstand. This New Year's Eve, another group of the show's greats will make a stop in Minnesota when Rob Schneider, Tim Meadows, and Chris Kattan ring in 2014 at the Mystic Showroom. While you may know them as Deuce Bigelow, the Ladies Man, and Mango, all three are stellar standup comedians, making this the proverbial all-star game of comedy. Since their time on SNL, all three have been busy with television, movies, and theater, including guest spots on shows like The Office, The Middle, and the Grown Ups movies. That combination of personalities makes this a truly unique comedy experience, and the perfect New Year's Eve for SNL fanatics, and anyone who just really likes good standup.

Part Three of a Three Part Series
Taxation, financial management, and gift acceptance are three topics we discussed with Attorney Van Turner, a partner in the law firm BRITTENUM BRUCE, PLLC ("Brittenum Bruce").
In regards to taxes, "Yes, nonprofits are exempt from paying federal income taxes as long as they maintain their charitable purpose, apolitical purpose," Turner confirmed "I must note here that nonprofits are forbidden from engaging directly in politics. While 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporations can encourage the franchise of voting by encouraging citizens to vote, they cannot support one candidate or one political party over the other."
We also wanted to know about financial management. He told us that "a nonprofit is like any other business in that regard. Solid financial management is a must. It is advisable to address a system of checks and balances in the by-laws and to require an annual audit of the financial records. If the money just disappears and the board allows it to happen, then the board will be held accountable along with whoever took the money. If the board had strong procedures and the officers simply stole the money, then the board should probably investigate seeking criminal as well and civil remedies against the bad actor. The nonprofit could also purchase insurance to help cover the cost of theft or embezzlement."
There are fundraising-related legal issues as well, and Turner addressed these. "I suggest that nonprofits develop a gift acceptance policy. This policy will assist developing a planned and orderly method of knowing which gifts to accept and how to handle the gifts when accepted. For instance, if property is donated to the nonprofit, the nonprofit must develop a procedure for making sure they are receiving good title and that they are not accepting a landmine which would cause more headaches. Also, the policy could assist with spelling out some of the tax issues which may come-up with certain types of gifts."
"A written pledge can be legally binding in some states if there is consideration involved," Turner continued. "However, this is a state-specific issue and may vary from state to state. Consideration is simply 'the thing of value' each party to a contract agrees to give in exchange for what he or she receives. So, for instance, if a nonprofit was going to name a building for someone who pledged a large sum of money and the nonprofit began construction on the project, the court may rule that there was consideration and find that the donor is legally bound to the pledge."
When asked what a board member should do if she suspects misappropriation of funds Turner responded, "The board should immediately remove the executive leader from the bank accounts. Further, the board should then request an audit to see what has been misappropriated. Furthermore, the board should also alert the authorities as to what has occurred. The board should also seize the executive's computer. Even if the executive has deleted emails and materials on the computer, those materials can be retrieved and can assist in trying to figure out what happened with the money." © Copyright Mel and Pearl Shaw.

So far at least 10,000 General Motors salespeople have downloaded a new app the company rolled out earlier this year for mobile devices that's designed to simplify the carmaker's lengthy and complicated sales incentives processes and, hopefully, ensure that customers are getting the lowest prices.
The free GM Dealer SalesAssistant App (DSA), available for later model Android and iOS devices, including iPads and iPhones, lets GM salespeople sort and localize the incentive offerings so they can give the best bottom-line pricing and offers to their customers.
The app, available to GM salespeople at all four of GM's divisions, offers real-time details on incentives in their marketing areas, vehicle specifications, option and trim packages as well as availability and pricing information they can share directly with customers.

The Worst Movie Review of the Year
It belongs to Kyle Smith of The New York Post, writing about the film "Philomena," starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan.
Here's a snippet:
There's no other purpose to the movie, so if 90 minutes of organized hate brings you joy, go and buy your ticket now.
"90 minutes of organized hate." I can't remember the last time I ran across such a mean-spirited review about such a gentle, and genuinely heartwarming movie. Here's Smith's full review.
And here's the real Philoemena's defense of the film.
I came across all of this last night after Patricia and I saw the movie, which we both loved. Can the film be read as an attack on doctrinaire (that is, anti-sex) Catholicism and doctrinaire (that is, anti-gay) Republicanism? Sure. But the greater takeaway is a lesson in the meaning of forgiveness, upon which Philomena's open letter to Smith concludes:
Just as I forgave the church for what happened with my son, I forgive you for not taking the time to understand my story. I do hope though that the families heading to the movie theatre to see the film decide for themselves – and disagree with you.

Alan Murphy is a busy bird photographer. His work has appeared in publications ranging from National Geographic to Bird Watcher's Digest.
Scott interviewed Alan in early January, 2009.
1 – Scott: Please tell me how and when you got into photography.
Alan: I grew up in England and Ireland and was a bird watcher since age 6 (now 48). I moved to the States in 1984 and although my years of birding helped me a little in identifying North American Birds, it was really like starting all over again. To help speed up the learning process I borrowed an old Minolta camera with a 80-300 MM zoom. I would lay out my prints next to my filed guide and compare filed marks to get a positive ID. It became apparent that my images were horrible. The birds were way too small in the frame, so I bought a bigger lens. I also bought some books on getting closer to wildlife. Next thing I was hooked.
2 – Scott: What is your favorite photographic location or subject?
Alan: My favorite location to shoot is the Upper Texas Coast during Spring migration. I have been shooting migrant songbirds at costal migrant traps for the past 12 years. When the birds make their flight across the Gulf of Mexico they arrive on the Texas Coast in search of food and water. Setting up a drip pond in front of my blind draws many species down to bath and drink. Every hour of the day different species may show up including Tanagers, Orioles, Warblers and Vireos.
3 – Scott: Can you recall the first photograph you made that caused you to think WOW – that's a good shot and if so, what was it?
Alan: I think this has to be a shot of a Belted Kingfisher with a fish in his mouth. I worked three weeks on setting up the perch in just the right spot for this elusive species. I sat in the blind for many days before the bird took my perch. It all came together one evening with clear light, the bird catching a fish and sitting on the perch with his crest up.
4 – Scott: Do you have any formal training in photography or a related field and do you think that's important for aspiring serious photographers?
In 2009, we're adding some new features here at TWIPPHOTO.COM. One such feature is a new interview category. We'll be interviewing both established and emerging photographers on a monthly basis. This is the first of those interviews.
Many of you are familiar with Rick Sammon. He is a prolific photographer who's written more than 30 books, hosted 20 television programs, taught many workshops and written for both the web and several photo publications.
I interviewed Rick for TWIPPHOTO.COM right after Christmas.
1 – Scott: Please tell me how and when you got into photography.
RICK: As a kid, my father had a 4×5 view camera. Was fascinated by it. Like most the people I knew, I didn't want to be a photographer. I wanted to be a rock star. Photography and music do have a lot in common. You have a tendency to be creative in both. I didn't set out to be a photographer. I went to music school instead. Because I didn't get much work as musician, I started submitted pictures and got published. I ended up getting a job as editor of "Studio Photography & Design."

Hospice care: the business of providing a dignified death
- Written by Carlee McCullough
ON OUR WAY TO WEALTHY Be strong. Fight until the end. Never give up. Continue to pray.
If anyone close to you has ever experienced a life-threatening illness or accident, such phrases may have been used as encouragement.
Still, death is inevitable, with the business of providing a dignified death known as hospice care. Although often thought of as a physical place, hospice is a specific type of healthcare with the primary focus of providing the patient with comfort and palliative care. Palliative care refers to the relief of the pain, symptoms and stress of serious illness. Once the doctor and patient are in agreement that the illness can not be reversed, hospice care becomes a consideration.
Hospice care may be provided in the home or in a hospital, assisted living, veterans, prison or a long-term facility. Hospice is not designed to hasten or prevent death. It is an option that provides the patient with management of pain and symptoms, an increased quality of life, and also emotional and spiritual support. Ultimately, terminally ill patients in hospice are given the opportunity to choose the end-of-life care received.
From a business perspective, hospice care is a multimillion-dollar. Businesses are compensated based on enrollment. With little to no expenses earmarked for a cure, the profit margins tend to be great. A very profitable hospice business can be established with the appropriate resources, a solid business plan and knowledge of the industry or affiliation with professionals that possess the requisite knowledge.
Medicare, Medicaid, private pay benefits
Hospice care is a fast-growing business segment. Historically, non-profits have flourished and provided the bulk of care. However, for-profit hospice organizations are growing rapidly and giving the non-profits increased competition. The rising interest in hospice care is partly fueled by the fact that Medicare, Medicaid and private pay insurance companies provide a fee per day of care. Typically, hospice provides prescriptions, medical equipment, round the clock access to care and support.
Length of care
Patients diagnosed with six months or less to live and little hope of curing the illness are the target market for hospice care. While the length of stay may be more or less, a doctor's certification of the terminal illness is required to maintain the continued hospice care. More than one million people receive hospice benefits annually.
Referral relationships
The most successful hospice organizations have developed relationships with physicians, hospitals and nursing homes for referrals. Patients can revoke hospice care in the case of improved health, such as if the patient goes into remission. They can reenter hospice care if their health declines and they meet the required criteria for care.
Cancer is one of the primary illnesses that patients have in hospice care. Advanced heart, lung, or renal diseases are just a few of the other illnesses that may require hospice care.
Palliative care
Over the last few years, hospices have moved toward palliative care, which primarily focuses on the reduction of symptoms. Early palliative care can actually improve longevity. Many professionals believe that the decrease in stress and discomfort helps to extend life for those with advanced illnesses.
Hospice team and the plan
The hospice team may consist of a medical director, nurse, social worker, home health aide, spiritual counselor and volunteers who support the plan of the patient during their alliative care. A comprehensive, individualized care plan is prepared for every patient. The plan is customized for the individual and may change as the patient's care needs change.
Businesses with a focus on senior housing or healthcare are on the rise. So with focus and dedication, hospice care is a definitely a business to consider.

Question on HDD array setup ~
I am building a new machine and have the following HDD's:
1x OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTX50G 2.5" 50GB SSD
3x Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
My main purpose for this PC will be photo editing in Photoshop 5 and LightRoom 3. Some video editing, some gaming, and creating presentations in Pro Presenter.
I have a separate, external, HDD that I use for backups and imaging so none of the internal space needs to be saved for backup. I am thinking of putting Win 7 Ult and my other programs on the SSD, and RAID 0 the 3 WD's, to hold my data, and for increased load times for the photo and video data. I have not run a RAID array before, but from my understanding this setup will give me better performance than mirroring or running each drive as its own separate partition.
If I am misunderstood about this please correct me. If there is something you would do differently, please also let me know!!

Win7 x 6 PC's
Problem is if you lose any one of the 3 WD's then you've lost everything. Does that make it worth it for a slight performance increase which might not materialize?
You landed in the Install forum where all we see with RAID on Windows 7 installs is problems, so I doubt if you'll get much encouragement here.
BUt if you're ready to try it then I'd repost in Hardware forum as they will know how to hook it up fine. Just be aware that Windows 7 is somewhat allergic to RAID installs.

Amtrak upgraded its AmtrakConnect cellular-based Wi-Fi service to take advantage of 4G technologies that are improving performance and enhancing the passenger experience.
The 4G upgrade is already complete on Acela Express and the California-supported Capitol Corridor, Pacific Surfliner and San Joaquin services, and will be rolled out to all remaining Wi-Fi-equipped Amtrak trains by late summer, including the Northeast Regional.
"We continue to place a strong focus on improving customer satisfaction, and this upgrade is delivering the improved speeds and connectivity required to maintain a competitive edge," said Deborah Stone-Wulf, Amtrak chief, sales distribution and customer service.
Acela passengers have already been noticing a positive improvement in performance and have been commenting publicly through social media.Stone-Wulf explained that AmtrakConnect continues to be provided at no additional cost, is available on trains that serve 75% of Amtrak passengers, and routinely supports between 30% and 50% of passengers on a given train.
While cellular upgrades to 4G are improving the service, the onboard demand for data continues to grow. To maximize the Wi-Fi experience for passengers, data-heavy activities that can slow everyone down, such as streaming video and music, and file downloads larger than 10MB, will continue to be restricted. This will ensure high-volume data users onboard the train are not able to degrade the Internet experience for others.

Increases Mental Skills
Dancers must listen to their teachers, follow their directions, memorize steps, and dance to a beat. They also have to develop the ability to recognize, understand and fix their mistakes.
Increases Competitive Spirit and Goal-Setting
Feisanna will encourage the dancer's desire to do well and to dance to the best of their ability, in fields of sometimes over a hundred dancers.
Increases Self-Esteem
It helps to increase the dancer's confidence and develop a stage presence.
Forms Lasting Friendships
Not only with classmates, but through performing and competing, Irish dancers meet others from all parts of the city, state, country and world.
Promotes Irish Culture
An American revival of Irish identity and tradition began in the 1960s, and widespread interest in Irish Dancing exploded with Riverdance in 1994. While a young dancer may not comprehend this particular benefit while training, this revival continues!

The joys of motherhood are wonderful, but there is no denying the toll pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding take on our bodies.
Many women notice looser tummy skin and deflated breasts, despite eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Other parts may have a little more to love than before — moms may notice new fatty deposits through the back, hip, and thigh area.
Duet Plastic Surgery offers a variety of "Mommy Makeover" procedures to address these areas and help rejuvenate your body after baby.
Duet Plastic Surgery is the discreet, boutique practice of two female, Stanford-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Angeline Lim, M.D., and Jennifer Weintraub, M.D., work together as a team to give their patients a private, personalized, and comfortable plastic-surgery experience.
Patients come to Duet Plastic Surgery from all over California. This women-run practice is especially popular among healthy, active moms who wish to restore their figures and boost their confidence via "Mommy Makeover" procedures. As mothers themselves, Drs. Lim and Weintraub personally understand these sensitive issues and enjoy helping other mothers feel great again.
Duet Plastic Surgery has also been very involved in the lives of both men and women who have undergone massive weight-loss. They help patients complete their weight-loss journeys through facial rejuvenation and body-contouring procedures.

Two senior figures at Quanta Computer, the world's largest notebook manufacturer, have played down suggestions that super-size tablets from Apple and Samsung have a future.
Quanta Computer chairman Barry Lam and vice-chairman CC Leung spoke at length on the notebook market when attending an investor's conference in Taiwan recently, according to Digitimes, with Lam stressing that 2014 global shipments will drop only slightly on a yearly basis.
But it was on the topic of larger tablet, an area of apparent interest to both Apple and Samsung, where Quanta put the boot in with Leung in particular questioning if larger models would be competitive enough to compete against notebooks.
He apparently suggested that bigger displays would most likely mean bigger prices and – as a further insult to the much-rumored models from Apple and Samsung – claimed that consumers would still opt for 14-inch and 15-inch notebooks for work and Internet browsing.Source article

The West Midlands schools rugby community has rallied round to help Old Swinford Hospital School prepare for their Daily Mail RBS Schools Under 18 Cup final against Dulwich College at Twickenham Stadium on Wednesday, April 4.
OSH limbered up for their first appearance at Twickenham – which for the first time is being streamed live on RFU.com – with a match this week against a Combined XV raised from their regular opponents on the Midlands circuit.
"The goodwill shown towards has been overwhelming," said OSH coach Andrew Coalter.
"The combined side was organised by Zak Feau'nati at Bishop Vesey's but there were players from King Edward's Birmingham and King Edward's Aston in there. It meant that we played against some really talented boys in there and it made for a really competitive game as preparation for Dulwich. Thankfully everyone came through unscathed.
"We've had lots of messages of support from schools in the area who saying it's great to have a West Midlands school in the final. A member of staff also went to the sevens at King's Worcester, who we beat in the semi-finals, and he came back with lots of good luck messages."
Coalter is delighted that centre Max Stelling and lock Ed Taylor, who are in the England Under 18 Clubs and Schools side, and back-row forwards Joe Wrafter and Josh Feek, who are in the England South Under 16 squad preparing for the Wellington Festival, came through their recent training camps unscathed.
But that has left Coalter with some difficult selection decisions to make ahead of the final.
"We've had a strong squad this season but that means that there have been some difficult selection decisions to make," Coalter said.
"I have just picked my final 22 and that was really difficult to do. There are going to be some upset boys because everyone wants to be part of the final.Those that aren't in the 22 will be there on Wednesday because they have played throughout the season and helped us get to Twickenham."
OSH, who had been beaten in two semi-finals at this age group before they beat King's Worcester at Broadstreet, will be roared on by almost 3,000 supporters.
They sold out their initial ticket allocation of 2,000 in hours and requested more tickets from the RFU. The headmaster has also laid on ten coaches which have already been booked up.
Worcester Warriors full back Chris Pennell, a former pupil, has sent a message of support and former Worcester flanker James Collins, another old boy, will be there in person.
"It's a fantastic achievement for a school the size of ours, especially a non-selective one, to get to Twickenham, but the boys should not lose sight of what they have achieved so far in getting to the final," Coalter said.
"For the boys it's going to be a tremendous experience. As an Irishman going there so soon after we were beaten by England, it's a bitter pill to swallow!"
Although OSH broke up for the Easter holidays today the team will spend three days together in one of the school's boarding houses to prepare for what Coalter expects to be a close final against a Dulwich side who defended determinedly to beat St Joseph's Ipswich in their semi-final.
"We are two similar sides," Coalter said. "Two good defences, well-organised and well-drilled. We are evenly-matched and that should make for a close final.
"Against King's we were probably a little bit nervous in the first 15 minutes and we missed a few chances that would have put some distance between us and King's.
"Hopefully we can be a bit more accurate in the final. But I know that I have a group of lads who will give their all for the entire game."

LONDON (AP) - The New Statesman says it's publishing a
previously unseen poem by Ted Hughes that details the night his estranged wife, Sylvia Plath, killed herself.
Hughes, a Briton, and Plath, an American, are considered among the 20th century's greatest poets. Their stormy relationship has been the focus of decades of critical attention.
Plath earned a cult following through the novel "The Bell Jar," whose descriptions of a suicidal young woman foreshadowed her own death, which followed only a month after its publication in 1963.
Plath's death shadowed Hughes for the rest of his life and he made only fleeting references to it in his own published work. The poem's discovery is of major importance to literature and it was read out on Britain's Channel 4 Wednesday.

It's another hot summer day today as we head toward the end of July. But it's also Thursday, so that means we have some Valley Voice highlights to go with our morning (iced) coffee. The Spokane Valley City Council voted Tuesday to approve a development agreement designed to limit the impact of an apartment complex on surrounding single family homes. The agreement applies to land on Conklin Road south of Broadway. But the agreement did not appease neighbors, who wanted an increased setback so they wouldn't have buildings right up against their back yards.
Reporter Lisa Leinberger has a story on a new community garden planned by Spokane Valley Partners. The organization has received permission from Modern Electric to use vacant land the utility owns across from Valley Mission Park as a garden. Organizers hope to have everything set up in time for spring. There's an informational meeting tonight for community residents.
Correspondent Cindy Hval spoked to several local athletes who will be competing in the London 2012 Paralympic Games in track events. They are all members of Team St. Luke's.
Key items on council agenda tonight
There are a couple key items on the Spokane Valley City Council agenda for tonight's meeting, both of which have the potential to make it a lengthy meeting. First up is a public hearing on a proposed development agreement to go with property on Conklin Road south of Broadway. The owner wants to rezone the land high density residential and put in apartments, a plan the surrounding neighbors in their single family homes have objected to. The proposed agreement restricts density and building height, among other stipulations. The council is scheduled to vote after the public hearing on whether to accept the agreement.
The item that will likely include a lengthy discussion is a report on the proposed goals and policies of the city's Shoreline Master Program. It's a detailed document, so it's expected that council members will have questions.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. tonight at City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague.
Some hot items at tonight's council meeting
Yes, it is Fourth of July eve, but Spokane Valley is going ahead with their regularly scheduled council meeting tonight at 6 p.m. and there are a few interesting items on the agenda. The council is set to vote on appointing a new planning commissioner to fill the seat of Marcia Sands, who resigned. There are three candidates and there are some familiar names in the bunch. Teacher Robert McCaslin is the son of the late Bob McCaslin, who was a senator and city council members. Fred Beaulac served on the planning commission previously from 2003 to 2008. The other candidate, Kevin Anderson, is a retired manufacturing manager.
A development agreement on land on Conklin just south of Broadway has apparently been negotiated with lighting speed; a proposed agreement will be discussed tonight. The council voted previously to require the agreement as a condition to rezoning the land high density residential.
The council will also discuss a proposed agreement with Spokane County to fix 48th Avenue in the Ponderosa neighborhood. The road was repaved after a county sewer project years ago and hasn't drained properly since.

Today you get a look at the stories we've been working on all week. Reporter Pia Hallenberg is continuing her look at local community gardens and recently stopped by the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden in Millwood. The garden still has some of its 57 plots available and also participates in the Plant a Row for the Hungry program, donating produce to Second Harvest.
In a departure from past practice, the Spokane Valley City Council is not allowing the Spokane Valley Fire Department to make a presentation on its replacement levy on the August ballot. The move caught the fire department by surprise, particularly since it gave similar presentations twice previously.
The work on the Sprague Avenue reconstruction project has been delays after a gas line was found only inches under the asphalt. It had to be relocated and buried deeper before the road work could continue. During Tuesday's meeting the Spokane Valley City Council voted to require a development agreement before land on Conklin Road just south of Broadway can be rezoned high density residential. The agreement would set restrictions on setbacks and building height on the land, which is surrounded by single family homes on land zoned low density residential.
The town of Fairfield has several programs for kids running this summer. Free lunch is available in the Community Center on weekdays and the town will again bus children to the Tekoa pool.
Zone change public hearing tonight
I'm expecting a bit a crowd to be at the Spokane Valley City Council meeting tonight for the public hearing on the St. John Vianney zone change request. The church asked that a piece of property to the south of the church be rezoned so Catholic Charities could build a low income senior housing complex on it. The plan has drawn the ire of many neighbors. City staff has negotiated a development agreement that would limit what can be done with the property. Tonight's hearing is on the agreement and the zone change request.
The other hot topic of the evening will be a motion on whether or not to put the one-way Sprague issue on the November ballot. There will be public comment taken before the vote, so this is your chance to put in your two cents.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague. If you can't make it, though, you can always take advantage of the city's new live web streaming of the council meetings. Just go to the city's web site at www.spokanevalley.org and click on the SVTV link. You can also watch a video of the meeting later at your leisure.

Cara Stiles has resigned her positions as head softball coach at Rhea County High School and assistant at Rhea Middle and has accepted the head coaching positions at East Hamilton High and Middle.
In replacing Holly Hamilton, Stiles becomes the Lady Hurricanes' third coach in the third year of the program's existence. East Hamilton athletic director Brad Jackson said because of contract issues he could not elaborate on the job opening.
Stiles said she and her assistant, Hollie Pritchett, who also is going to East Hamilton, had difficulty with the decision. Stiles said the move would benefit her financially in the long run.
"It's a good school and a growing community," Stiles said. "We just felt like it was the best decision for us. We're really excited, but the feeling is bittersweet. We adore our girls at Rhea County. Hopefully we'll still be able to be in their lives."
Stiles was hired by East Hamilton principal Pam Dantzler and will teach seventh-grade science.
"The administrative staff is extremely excited that she's coming in," Jackson said. "I personally watched her coach three times this year, and the way she coached and the way she carried herself was quite impressive. Her background playing in college at the Division I level (Memphis), and playing for Clifford Kirk at Soddy-Daisy, solidifies what kind of faith we have in her."

Despite his reputation for intricate and impressive restaurant cooking, London chef Gary Rhodes believes that the best way to cook something is often the most simple. In his latest book, he strips out complicated techniques and fiddly instructions in search of the very easiest way to get maximum flavor out of familiar ingredients, from chicken to squid and beetroot to rhubarb.
In more than 200 simple recipes, Rhodes demonstrates the fundamentals of cooking and explains how to get stunning results by doing as little as possible. But this is not just a brilliant cookbook for beginners and an essential bible for busy people; it's also a tribute to simplicity and flavor, and an invaluable book of simply delicious ideas for cooks of every level.

Ford Sales in Russia Up 11 per cent in 2012; Focus, Kuga and Transit Achieve Record Sales in December
- Ford sales up 11 per cent in Russia in 2012
- Record sales of Focus, Kuga and Transit in December
- Ford Focus segment leader in 2012
- Start of local production in Tatarstan helped to meet growing demand for Ford vehicles
MOSCOW, Russia, January 15, 2013 – Ford Sollers today confirmed that Ford vehicle sales in Russia increased by 11 per cent in 2012, with 130,815 units sold in total.
Ford Focus sales were up by 12 per cent last year, making it the best-selling model in the C-segment segment. Last year also saw significant growth for Ford in the Sports Utility Vehicle and commercial vehicle segments: Kuga sales were up 45 per cent, Explorer sales tripled; and Transit was up 56 per cent.
December also marked a record month for the latest generation of Focus, Kuga and Transit, achieving their best-ever monthly sales.
"This was the first full year of operation for the Ford Sollers joint venture in Russia, and we had a great result. Our employees, dealers and – of course, our customers – have all contributed to our success. This coming year, we'll build further on this solid foundation as we increase our domestic production in Russia," said Ted Cannis, President and CEO, Ford Sollers.
"The success of the Kuga, Explorer and Transit is closely connected to the start of production of these vehicles at the Ford Sollers plant in Elabuga last year. It was very important for us to meet growing customer demand in the all-important SUV and commercial vehicles segments," said Adil Shirinov, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Ford Sollers.
Customer satisfaction also increased in Ford dealerships across Russia last year, with customers giving Ford a five per cent improvement for its sales process, and four percent improvement for its after sales service. Five new Ford dealerships were opened in Moscow, Vologda, Saratov, Biysk and Ryazan in the fourth quarter of 2012. The number of Ford dealerships in Russia today totals to 120 in 79 cities.
"Towards the end of 2012, the Russian auto market started to stabilize following a period of fast growth. For 2013, we're expecting industry volumes to be at the same level as in 2012. Our clear objective at Ford Sollers in 2013 is to continue to provide our customers with more Ford products and increased service in the Russian market," said Cannis.
About Ford Sollers
Ford Sollers joint venture is responsible for the production, import and distribution of all Ford brand products, including vehicles, parts and accessories, in Russia.

*Rates include all local and state taxes and fees.
Terminal Direct - The most convenient option
The fourth floor of the parking garage is reserved for Terminal Direct parking. As the name implies, parkers have direct access via the fourth floor skybridges to the Main Terminal. It's the shortest route from car to plane and is available for both short- and long-term parking. The rate for this direct access floor is $4 per hour with a daily maximum of $35 for up to 24 hours.
General Parking
additional parking on the 1st and 2nd floors of the garage are now open to the public
General Parking is available on seven floors of the Sea-Tac Airport garage - Floors 1-3, and 5-8. The rate is just $3 an hour with a maximum of $28 for up to 24 hours and a special weekly rate of $130. Parkers can use General Parking for both short- and long-term stays.
General Parking Special Weekly Rate
Sea-Tac Airport offers a special, reduced weekly rate of $130 for up to seven days General Parking (Floors 1-3, 5-8). Travelers headed out on a week-long trip (more than five days, maximum of seven days) pay only $130 – all inclusive. No extra taxes. No extra fees. That's a tremendous savings of two days free for a seven day trip.
The special weekly discount begins after the fifth day of parking and continues until the end of the seventh day. Customers staying longer than seven days can take advantage of the $130 maximum weekly rate for each additional week of parking. Normal rates apply for partial weeks of parking ($28/day), but will not exceed the special weekly rate of $130 during subsequent seven day periods. No coupon is needed; you receive the special discount when you pay.
Over-Height Vehicle Parking
The height limit for vehicles entering the Airport Garage is 6'10." Vehicles above that limit should park in Over-Height Vehicle Parking. You can access this parking area via Highway 99 / International Blvd. from the north or south. To access the parking area from SR 518, follow the signs marked "Overheight Parking" from the left exit off the Airport Expressway. The route is well marked and will take you to Highway 99 / International Blvd and the South 182nd St. Airport entrance.
Enter the Airport from South 182nd St. off of Highway 99 / International Blvd. and change to the left lane.
Stay in the left lane and curve to the left, then follow the signs to over-height parking (which at this point should be in front of you and to the right).
At the entry plaza, use the open lane on the far right and take a ticket from the machine.
After the gate opens, drive in and park in any of the 60-plus stalls in the outdoor area. The lot is within walking distance to the terminal.
Extended Parking
Travelers may leave their vehicles for extended periods. Travelers parking for more than 30 days must make special arrangements through the Airport's Public Parking Office, (206) 787-5308. Without these arrangements, the vehicle may be considered abandoned and could be towed at the owner's expense.
Electric Vehicle Parking / Free Charging
The airport now offers 48 electric vehicle parking spaces providing free electric vehicle charging for parking customers. Spaces are marked with green striping and are designated as "Electric Car Charging Only.
Floor 5, General Parking
Thirty-six (36) spaces available.
There are twelve spots in each row at D, G, and I.
General Parking rates apply.
Floor 4, Terminal Direct Parking
Twelve (12) parking spaces are located in Row I.

WAVY TV Highlights Heart recipients In Hampton RoadsBack to News list »
Heart Recipients Celebrate Life
WAVY TV -- A Virginia Beach college student and a Norfolk Army wife are great friends, who will spend this Valentine's weekend with gratitude for the real hearts someone else gave them. Princess Daughtry and Kershundra Clinton met in 2003 when both were living in different chapters of life-threatening stories. Clinton remembered, "I said you must be Princess and she said, 'Yes, in the flesh.' And it just made me laugh which is something I needed right then and there. Because I had just turned 23...and you're told you need a transplant." Just a few months before Clinton learned she needed a new heart, Daughtry received one. After childhood illness, congestive heart failure, and several surgeries, Daughtry's time was running out.

Aimee Melton announced Friday she will be a candidate for the Omaha City Council in District 7, which covers the northwest part of the city.
"I've received a lot of encouragement from people throughout the district to run and I'm hearing that citizens of our district want new leadership on the City Council. People in my district want more transparency in city government, want to get spending under control, help businesses create good jobs and reduce crime in our city," Melton said through a news release.
Melton referenced the staff salaries hidden by the mayor as one example that more transparency is needed in government. She said truly understanding how all of the city employee contracts work and their future costs to taxpayers is another issue. She said the city government needs to learn to live within its means and cut spending to meet budgets and not raise taxes.
Melton is a former deputy Douglas County attorney who worked in the domestic violence unit. She is currently an attorney specializing in family law and defense work and is managing partner of the Reagan, Melton & Delaney, LLP Law Firm.
