PONETO — Two of the better pitchers in the ACAC softball picture squared off at Southern Wells High School Thursday afternoon and Adams Central survived the contest with a 3-2 triumph over the host Raiders.
Sydnee Peterson tossed a five-hitter for the win for the Jets fanning a pair and walking only one while Cristin Carter retired nine AC batters on strikes, walked none, and allowed just five hits. Both teams only had one earned run and defensive lapses in the fourth cost Southern Wells a pair of runs.

Mayor John Schultz revealed at this week's city council meeting that the city's Board of Works and Safety had authorized the expenditure of approximately $23,000 to provide some much-needed work on the aging structure, now in its 99th year.
The recent Kids Against Hunger event at Wyneken Memorial Lutheran School north of Decatur brought together 224 people from Adams, Allen, Wells, and Van Wert counties who turned 8,000 pounds of food into 53,000 meal packages in just one day.
The weight of all the food was nearly four tons, according to Event Coordinator Joe Gorman.
Unbeaten Bellmont, which has blasted away the opposition in its last four games with 55 runs and 60 hits, is rated 10th in the most recent 3A Coaches Baseball Poll.
Adams Central, off to a 2-3 start, has the 12th most votes in the 2A poll.
Plans were unveiled at Tuesday night's Decatur City Council meeting for Operation Cleanup, a major undertaking to "clean up" the city for its 175th birthday celebration later this year.
Mayor John Schultz said a committee comprised of Board of Works member Bill Karbach, city Planning and Zoning Superintendent Roger Gage, and City Attorney Tim Baker have been working on various aspects of the program, including targeting and implementation.
The St. Marys River in Decatur rose another two-plus feet in the past 24 hours, but was still far short of causing any significant problems .. at this point.
City weather station officials said this morning that the river stood at 16.23 feet at 7 a.m., up from the 13.9-foot reading 24h hours earlier and 11 1/2 feet from a 4.8-foot reading on Tuesday.

Roxie A. Michael, 51, of Craigville, died Monday in Lutheran Hospital at Fort Wayne.
She was born to Robert E. and Malvra A. Bailey Grimm. Her father and stepmother, Judy, live in Poneto while her mother and stepfather, William Grover, reside in Vera Cruz.

Schultz, the daughter of Scott and Cami Schultz of Decatur, played a critical role for Craig Krull's 2010 state 3A championship volleyball team at Bellmont, and she also was a member of the 2007 state champions at BHS. She played all four years and was a starter in three of those years.


text: On August 24, 1994, approximately 0755 Pacific daylight time (PDT), a Cessna 150, N4016U, ran off the runway and nosed over at McMinnville Airport, McMinnville, Oregon. The student pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The solo instructional flight, which departed the same location about 55 minutes earlier, was operating in visual meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. No flight plan had been filed, and there was no report of an ELT activation.According to the FAA inspector who responded to the accident, the student pilot lost control of the aircraft during the roll-out portion of a touch-and-go landing. As the aircraft headed off the runway, the student pilot attempted remedial action, but was unable to keep the aircraft from running off the runway and nosing over in soft terrain.

Watch the First Two Trailers for Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game
Kleenex at the ready.
Benedict Cumberbatch's previous "Look, ma! I'm playing a tech history icon!" movie, WikiLeaks docudrama The Fifth Estate, crashed and burned both critically and commercially, so here's hoping his Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game does better. There's certainly no shortage of talent on display in the trailers (US above, UK behind the cut).Read More

Hot on the heels of the release of Castle Waiting Vol. II #11, we have two more great new items for Castle Waiting fans: one bargain and one splurge!
Castle Waiting Vol. II #1-10 Starter Pack
The popularity of Castle Waiting continues to grow, and to help new fans catch up on the latest installments of Linda Medley's award-winning ongoing epic, we're pleased to offer the first ten issues of Volume II in one handy package at a significant savings over the combined cover price — over a dollar off each issue!
In these issues, a new chapter begins as the Castle welcomes some new guests, undergoes some renovations, and reveals more of its secrets. Secrets about the Castle's denizens are revealed as well, as we delve into the pasts of Lady Jain, Iron Henry, and Dr. Fell. Medley's sharp pen and even sharper storytelling create a delightfully adventurous universe.
A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil — but about being a hero in your own home. Linda Medley lavishly illustrates Castle Waiting in a classic visual style reminiscent of Arthur Rackham and William Heath Robinson. Blending elements from a variety of sources — fairy tales, folklore, nursery rhymes — Medley tells the story of the everyday lives of fantastic characters with humor, intelligence, and insight into human nature. Castle Waiting can be read on multiple levels and can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

ABC has released the trailer for Jamie Olivers new TV show, Food Revolution, about his quest to transform the most unhealthy town in America (Huntington, West Virginia) into some sort of crunchy hippie commune. Or, as the voice-over puts it: One man will try to save 50,000 lives. He tries to endear himself to the locals by sporting hoodies and baseball caps (and, er, a giant pea costume), but ends up confronting skeptics (I thought there was only miserable bastards like that in England!) and scary frankenfoods (In all of my years, Ive never seen pizza given for breakfast!). Its enough to make a grown man cry. And it does! Consider it karma for all the Americans that other British chef has made cry on TV. The show premieres March 26.

you are an insomniac, work the graveyard
shift, or are simply a night owl, chances
are good that you know Matthew Lesko.
Lesko, a.k.a. "Mr. Info," has
been an information consultant to Fortune
500 companies, and is a columnist, best-selling
author and regular talk show guest. He showed
up for his talk, "Building Your Business
on a Shoestring," co-sponsored by
the HBS Marketing and Entrepreneurship clubs
at Harvard Business School on April 5, wearing
a trademark lavender suit emblazoned with
dark purple question marks with matching
bowtie, violet socks, periwinkle sneakers,
and rainbow-hued spectacles.
about his famed late-night TV commercials,
Lesko said, "I don't pay for
any of those ads." Instead, he has
"relationships with media people."
He splits the profits garnered from the
commercials with the stations and networks,
like ESPN, that carry his ads.
barter system has worked well for Lesko,
keeping his overhead to a minimum. "You
make more money if you don't buy anything,"
he said. "My cost of goods sold is
really zero."
was no mistaking the enthusiasm Lesko has
for his product. So, what exactly is Matthew
Lesko selling to his bleary-eyed public?
For starters, his enormous (as in 1,100
pages), best-selling 2002 book, Free Money
to Change Your Life. He has more than fifty
books, e-Books, and CDs to his credit, among
them Free Legal Help, Free Health Care,
Free Stuff for Seniors, and Gobs and Gobs
of Free Stuff. Are we seeing a pattern here?
But what Lesko is really selling is a chance
for his readers to improve their lives.
getting his masters degree in computer science,
Lesko worked as a consultant, helping "fat
cats" find money, information, market
studies, and competitive analysis to grow
their businesses. And where did he find
this information? The U.S. government.
represents 35 percent of the U.S. economy,
he said, and there's a government
expert for everything imaginable. For instance,
if an Italian restaurant chain wanted to
expand, he wouldn't have to hunt down
all the details. He'd ask the government
pasta expert. Lesko said that somewhere
in DC, there's a guy sitting in his
office with an entire wall of pasta research
behind his desk. All one needs to do to
get the information is ask. "Hell,
he'd be thrilled that anyone had come
down to talk to him," said Lesko.
tiring of consulting, Lesko went into business
for himself. "My first two businesses
failed. And thank God they failed,"
he said. He was able, then, to find out
what he really wanted to do.
school, Lesko said, is a great way to learn
how to run a huge corporation, but what
if you want your own business? "Can
you solve [a] problem without throwing money
at it? Can you do it with little resources?"
he asked.
scoffed at all the business-speak employed
by b-schools today. "Branding?"
he says of his brightly punctuated suits.
"I was just trying to have fun."
about the importance of flexibility and
stick-to-itiveness, he said, "I know
what worked yesterday. I don't know
what will work tomorrow. Nobody does."
But that doesn't mean you should stop
trying, he said. "If you never fail,
you're really not doing anything.
Go out and do it your way." Taking
a page from his own book, he advised, "Take
whatever is weird or different about you
and make that your best part."
gets the money?
can apply for a government grant. Some notables
are George W. Bush, who invested $600 thousand
in a baseball team, then got a $200 million
grant to build a stadium, and Donald Trump,
who made his first million with a government
property in Cincinnati. Halliburton, the
big contracting company that Dick Cheney
used to run, had more than $300 billion
in government grants in the form of contracts
"It's a system," said
Lesko. "Learn to use the system."
contracts are especially lucrative propositions,
and they are opportunities that people don't
realize are available. "It's
like elephant hunting," said Lesko.
"Man, you bag one of those suckers
and you've got meat for a long, long
has a unique writing process: plagiarism.
It turns out, he says, that in the government,
nothing is copyrighted. He simply cut and
pasted text from government publications
for his first New York Times bestseller,
and has been "writing" that
way ever since. His description might be
a little breezy, however. The real value
Lesko adds is in his rigorous and tireless
research efforts, as well as the extremely
logical and helpful organization of the
material. While it is true that anyone can
find these resources on the Web or by calling
government numbers or writing government
agencies, not everyone has the time or inclination
to do so.
easy part, he said, is finding the information.
The real difficulty lies in what to do after
you have it. After one of his seminars on
how to contact the agencies that distribute
grants, one person asked him, "What
do you do after they answer the phone?"
"People don't know how to take
advantage of [the information I supply].
I make fun of myself to demystify the process.
acknowledges that information is one thing,
but execution is quite another. The less
money you have, the less time you have,
he said. "Do I say, 'You may
get the money and you may not; it's
a lot of work' or do I say, 'Free
money for life!' to get peoples'
attention? Maybe I have a chance of educating
you, then, if I make an ass out of myself
to get your attention."
than the lottery
from Mr. Lesko:
state has an Office of Economic Development
that keeps lists of data. Find the office
that regulates your competitors; the information
is public.
offers a CD
that contains examples of forty successful
business plans. "Some of these are
written in crayon," Lesko joked. "If
you brought one of these to your business
professors, you'd fail. It doesn't
take a mental genius." And if you
submit a business plan for a government
grant and that fails? You can ask the government
for a copy of a business plan that succeeded
the previous year. "It's like
getting the test ahead of time!"
can call your congressperson's office
and ask for Congressional Research Service
(CRS) reports on any subject.
million entrepreneurs get money from the
government every year to start businesses.
Two out of every three people who apply
get the money.
government is not only a great source of
dollars; it also provides free legal help.
In fact, says Lesko, it's better than
hiring a lawyer because everything is regulated.
Say an insurance company doesn't pay
your claim. "Are you going to hire
a lawyer for $200 an hour?" Lesko
asked. "Their lawyers are better."
Instead, call your State Information Operator.
They will help fight the battle for you—for
If the insurance company loses your business,
they don't care," explained
Lesko. "If they get a letter from
the government who issues their license
to sell insurance…it's cheaper
to pay you off" than fight the government.
government also provides free or low-cost
healthcare for families and seniors, as
well as free prescriptions. "But only
if you know where to look," said Lesko.
the good of mankind
motivation is not greed, but altruism, Lesko
said. When asked whether the government
has given him money to advertise different
programs, he responded, "Yes, but
money is not important to me anymore."
He said that "some bureaucrats say,
'Talk about my program,'"
but they're not trying to get rich.
"They're just earnest people
trying to help." After all, said Lesko,
the American people have already paid for
all of these programs through taxes and
fees, so shouldn't they use what they've
already bought?
are so unhappy working for large organizations,
because, really, they don't care,"
Lesko said. "When you have your own
thing, you can paint the world your way—the
way you always wished the world was."

Local indie squad the Courtesy Line headlines at the Lo-Fi Social Club with countrified pop party Among Wolves, precious songstress Abby Mott, and the Red Vines. Across the street at Metro Gallery the indie party continues with local shoegaze favorites Thrushes, the sharp, mathed-up rock of Avec, and Karmella's Game. Maryland's Paperback Tragedy and Goodbye Skyline take to the stage at Rams Head Live for a cheap show of melody-stuffed punk rock. For the party party, the spot to be is Sonar, where Miami's DJ Craze spins everything from club to hip-hop to Miami bass; in the lounge, turntablism pioneer and ex-X-Ecutioner Roc Raida makes it hot. On the flip side, decades-old local classic rocker Tall in the Saddle returns to the stage at Towson's Recher Theater after laying low for a spell. Baltimore's Pulling Teeth leads a night of hardcore/punk/metal at the Ottobar with Wyoming's Gehenna, making its only East Coast stop, Starkweather, Deathcycle, and Steel Nation. Things get fanatastically weird at the H&H Building (5th floor) tonight with Brooklyn's Gil Arno "playing" a slide projector for your eyes and ears alongside Isabel, the duo of Audrey Chen (vocals) and Philadelphia's Katt Hernandez (strings). The 30-yard-long bill includes Future Islands, Ear Power, the Best, MC Brown, Meredith Moore, Gabrielle Shaw, and Dennis Ryan.
SUNDAY: Indie gloomsayers Nightbirds, a pleasant nonhippie Vermont surprise, lay a fog over the Lo-Fi Social Club with the Frauds, the Battle of Land and Sea, A Cat Named Cricket, and Piano Black.
MONDAY: Come along and find out what "classic hipster animal karaoke" is at Joe Squared tonight; the curiosity is driving us mad. Or stay home and stew in your SAD.
TUESDAY: Death-obsessed alternarocker Armor for Sleep depresses the hell out of the Ottobar with Four Years Strong (making "happy hardcore"), Fairgreen, and Summer so Far. For all who like to get suffocated, strangled, and slowly smothered under a brimstone sheet of doom and thrash, we'll see you at the Talking Head, where Carrion descendent the Wayward, Oak, Ramming Speed, and Time of the Wolf gang up on your eardrums and skulls.
IN THE WINGS: Some very geriatric New York Dolls, the owners of punk before there was punk, come to Rams Head Live Feb. 12. (For more information call [410] 244-1131 or visit www.ramsheadlive.com.)

I strongly condemn the activities and statements made by Thakres, whether Raj Thakre or Bal Thakre or Uddham Thakre. All Thakres are almost same and similar. In the way they talk and give public statement and instigate violence against people of state other than that of Maharashtra is not good at all and cannot be tolerated in a civilized society and under democratic set up by any angle of consideration. Mr. Raj Thakre is going against the established rules repeatedly and violating the directive of Maharastra government. Sometimes he and his workers attacks cinema hall to lodge protest against some films or some other he creates damages in shops which sells valentine day materials. He challenged Mr Abhtabh Bachhan and his sons film to start in Mumbai when Mrs Jaya Bachhan gave a statement which Mr Raj Thakre took in bad taste.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, June 1992, Page 52, 53
Special Report
Israel's Attack on the USS Liberty: Cracks in the 25-Year Cover-Up
By James M. Ennes, Jr.
Although June 8 marks a quarter century since Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, the cover-up continues unabated. For newcomers to the subject, the USS Liberty was a U.S. Navy intelligence collection vessel assigned to patrol in international waters near the Israeli-Egyptian border during what has become known as the Six-Day War.
Liberty arrived on the fourth day of the war. She was immediately identified as American by the Israelis, who circled the ship at low level throughout the day, making a total of eight reconnaissance sorties and 13 orbits in daylight. Liberty's radio intercept operators heard the Israeli pilots reporting to their headquarters that she was American. So did operators in Germany. Observers in the Israeli war room acknowledge that her identity was known there and her position marked on a chart.
Israel, however, had been planning to invade Syria that morning, an event discouraged by the White House. American observers so close to the invasion site could not be tolerated. So the battle was postponed for 24 hours while Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats sought to destroy a ship belonging to the country they call their best friend and ally.
Liberty took over 800 rocket and machine-gun hits, and a torpedo blasted a 40-foot hole in her side. Thirty-four men died and 171 more were wounded from the 295-man crew. Yet the ship stayed afloat and made her way over 1,000 miles to the island of Malta for repairs.
Israel called the attack an error, claiming that the Liberty "strayed into a war zone where she had no business" and was mistaken for a rusted out Egyptian horse carrier half her size called the El Quseir. Only the most ardent of Israel's supporters accepted that story.
Most of then-President Lyndon Johnson's closest advisers saw the attack as what it was: a deliberate attempt to sink a friendly ship. Even the president, in private conversations with colleagues, called the attack deliberate. So did Secretary of State Dean Rusk. So did the directors of all the intelligence agencies.
Yet members of the U.S. Congress remain willfully blind to the event, insisting that they accept the Israeli excuse at face value. Congress refused then and refuses now to investigate. Too many congressmen personally depend on pro-Israel campaign contributions to risk taking a hard look. The Liberty attack now stands alone as the only major maritime incident in all U.S. history that has not been investigated by the Congress.
Evidence has continued to develop, however, indicating ever more certainly that this attack was no accident. For instance, an Israeli pilot as come forward to report that he was among the attackers. He refused to fire on the ship, he tells us, when he recognized it as American. He was told to do so anyway. Instead, he returned to his base where he was arrested, tried, and dismissed from the Israeli Defense Force. Although he was willing to tell his story to Congress, survivors could not find a single member willing to listen.
Last year, then-Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter came forward to report that U.S. Embassy monitors heard the radio conversations between the pilot and his headquarters. Next, Israeli Major Seth Mintz reported that he was in the Israeli war room where he heard the order given to attack a ship the Israelis knew to be American.
Both the Porter and Mintz reports were picked up by nationally syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak. Their story brought angry denials from spokespersons for Israel and sparked a debate with pro-Israel New York Times columnist A.M. Rosenthal, who reported that the Israeli major had been misquoted by Evans and Novak.
Despite Rosenthal's efforts, no one could discredit the story after Liberty survivors revealed that they had Mintz's original remarks on videotape. The tape was offered to CNN, which declined to use it. And still no member of Congress was willing to probe the serious issues being aired.
Last June, survivors of the attack held a reunion in Washington, DC. This well-attended affair revealed support in high places.
First, while survivors and guest of honor Admiral Thomas Moorer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, looked on proudly, Rear Admiral Robert Brooks presented Liberty's commanding officer, Captain William McGonagle, with a Presidential Unit Citation that had been authorized in 1967 by Lyndon Johnson, but never formally presented. According to reports, that oversight was corrected at the personal direction of President George Bush.
The next morning, Liberty survivors were invited to the White House, where they were greeted at a Rose Garden reception by then-Chief of Staff John Sununu and presidential adviser General Brent Scowcroft.
This event, belatedly reported on page one of The Washington Post, set off a near panic in the pro-Israel press. The New York Jewish weekly newspaper Forward, for instance, unaware that 60 percent of the directors of the Liberty Veterans Association are Jewish, reported that the USS Liberty Veteran's Association "has been transmogrified into an anti-Semitic organization." Survivors have amused themselves ever since with creative use of the term, as in, "Help, I've been transmogrified!"
This year yet another television documentary promised to present to Americans what it called the "truth" about the attack. NBC's prime-time "Story Behind the Story" won the cooperation of survivors by promising to let them tell their story on camera. Then, after the interviews were filmed, the company assigned a pro-Israel writer to assure that nothing was included in the broadcast that might offend Israel.
As a result, Americans saw a report which glossed over the story, ignored the evidence, failed to describe the extensive aerial reconnaissance prior to the attack or the machine-gunning of liferafts afterwards, skipped statements by Admiral Moorer, and severely cut vital remarks by Dean Rusk and others. Yet the producers did find room for extensive argumentation by Israel.
After three television documentaries, the truth about the USS Liberty is yet to be seen on American television.
Understanding the Truth
Yet, Americans do remember the Liberty, and survivors believe the truth is widely understood despite congressional inaction and media obfuscation.
This year three more memorials to our dead shipmates were created. In Richmond, CA, city fathers agreed to name USS Liberty Street in memory of the ship. In Troy, New York, a flagpole and memorial marker honor the memory of Francis Brown, who died at the helm from an Israeli bullet. And in Greeley, PA, a museum display created by the Veterans of Foreign Wars honors Alexander Neil Thompson, who died from an air-to-surface missile while trying to ward off jet aircraft with the Liberty's 50-caliber machine gun.
This is the third public honor for Gunner Thompson. A barracks at Great Lakes Naval Station and a multimillion dollar Aegis Weapons Training Building in San Diego remind American sailors daily of his sacrifice, and bring to 28 the number of known memorials to our 34 shipmates killed in the attack.
Although Congress remains blind to the Liberty, changes may be in sight. In this election year, with Israel and congressional incumbents both losing their teflon hloss, survivors report increasing calls from congressional challengers who tell us the time may be ripe for a real investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty.
James Ennes retired from the Navy after 27 years of service. He was on the USS Liberty on the day of the attack. His book, Assault on the Liberty (Random House, 1980), a "Notable Naval Book" selection of the U.S. Naval Institute and a Washington Post "editors' choice," is available from the AET Book Club.

St. Croix House Rental Photos and Description
Sugar Bay House, 4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths, with Private Pool & Stunning Views
Live the sweet life in an elegant, hilltop villa that links St. Croix's intriguing past with today's most luxurious lifestyles. This charming, West Indian great house embraces a 40-foot private pool and overlooks the sea with a stunning view of the Salt River Bay where Columbus arrived with his fleet in 1493.
Enter through double gates of solid mahogany to a spacious outdoor gallery. Here, catch up on your reading in a colonial planter's chair under the shade of palm trees, or stretch out on one of three decadent cushioned, lounge beds and enjoy the sun or the stars.
A breezy gazebo is perfect for lunch, complete with a handy grill and speakers for background music. And at cocktail time, Harry's Bar is irresistible—it's your own private poolside pub!
From the pool area, Harry's Bar leads into a magnificent Danish yellow great room and dining area with a spectacular window wall facing the Caribbean. Shutters lower at the touch of a button if you decide to darken the room for a movie and an armoire entertainment center is complete with DVD/VCR, iPod docking station, satellite television, and even Sirius radio. Ahead is a crisp white kitchen with all the culinary gear you might need.
The villa's bedrooms all face the pool through individual French doors and are decorated in subtle tropical hues with tasteful classic West Indian-style furnishings. All four have private baths and air conditioning to use if you wish, though island trade winds will provide natural cooling. You'll appreciate thoughtful touches provided for your stay-bath amenities, beach towels-even Sugar Bay House dressing gowns.
Running the length of the pool are three bedrooms. Two have twin beds that can be converted to kings, the first in spun-sugar pink with a shower/tub bath and the second in powder blue with Wedgewood accents. The third bedroom, with its soft mango glow and palm theme accessories, houses a king-size four poster bed.
At the end of the pool, steps lead up to the fourth bedroom's pavilion with pale lime green walls, a queen-sized four poster bed, and tester canopy overhead. This spacious suite has its own wet bar with refrigerator, and another set of French doors to a patio.
Rooms feature high, beamed ceilings, traditionally employed in island residences for centuries and throughout the house are finely-crafted mahogany furnishings inspired by the plantation era, including hand-made local tiles in Danish yellow. Look closely you'll see inlaid accents carved from authentic ballast brick brought to the island on 19th century sailing ships that carried sugar and rum back to Europe.
From the great room or the pool area, watch sailors come and go on the great bay below an outdoor museum designated as the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve. Tour the park's Visitor Contact Station, enjoy a refreshing swim at its white sandy beach visible from your villa, or stop by the marina to arrange a guided kayak expedition through the bay. And if you are a Scuba diver, or would enjoy learning, everything you'll need is available at the marina's dive center.
Your villa is ideally located at the center of the island's north shore, an easy drive to either of the island's two colonial towns, Christiansted or Frederiksted, for shopping, sightseeing, and fine dining. And just minutes away is Cane Bay, a spot favored by locals for its diving, snorkeling, and beachfront restaurants.
Whether you choose water sports or exploration to fill your days, you'll find Sugar Bay House to be an ideal base. But you may decide to spend most days simply enjoying your delightful villa a destination itself that you'll want to return to year after year.

About Jackie
Hello! My name is Jackie and I am the very lucky owner of Sugar Bay House. My husband and I fell in love with St Croix in 1986 and bought a house on this very same site in 1987. That house was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo but out of this catastrophe came the opportunity to build our dream house in 1994, the current Sugar Bay House. We have traveled to many parts of the world, being English and Australian ( and now American) but we always returned to the beauty and tranquility of St Croix and especially Sugar Bay House.We have had so many wonderful, fun times at Sugar Bay House with our family and friends and we hope to have many more. We invite you to create your own wonderful memories whatever the occasion!
Jackie purchased this house in 1994
Why Jackie chose St. Croix
The views from the house are simply amazing. It is impossible to capture them in photos. The location is also close to so many great beaches and restaurants and yet is still tranquil and peaceful. We also like being able to easily reach either Fredericksted or Christiansted, the two main towns on the island. In addition, overlooking the Salt River National Park where Columbus first landed is very cool!
What makes this house unique
Our outdoor living area with the amazing views and great places to either eat or sun is wonderful. Tropical living should be outdoor living and at Sugar Bay House that is certainly true. Our outdoor beds are also so relaxing whether reading a book during the day or star gazing with a glass of wine or a tropical cocktail at night. And of course there is Harry's Bar, the heart of the house where everyone gathers and shares stories at the end of a beautiful day in paradise.

Kristi King,
WASHINGTON - Identity theft can affect people's taxes and tax records. Crooks with access to other people's personal information can file false tax returns to try to collect the money.
The Internal Revenue Service has a list of warning signs suggesting identity theft has occurred.
It also has tips to helpprotect personal information.
Some warning signs of fraud include taxpayers receiving a letter from the IRS indicating more than one tax return has been filed in their name. The IRS also may notify someone about undeclared income from working at a business the taxpayer has never heard of before.
To protect personal information the IRS suggests:
- People use complicated passwords when filing electronically
- Don't save those filed returns on personal computers
- Copy filed returns to an external source such as a disc
- Never click on links in email erroneously claiming to be from the IRS
- Do not carry Social Security cards or give out the number to businesses just because they ask
Also, realize the IRS only will contact taxpayers through the U.S. Mail and will never make contact through email, texts or social media.
The IRS wants to hear from anyone who loses their wallet and personal information, or suspects they're a victim of identity theft or a phishing attempt to steal personal information. Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1- 800-908-4490.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. - A Chesapeake jury has found that The Virginian-Pilot committed libel against an assistant principal at a local high school.
The newspaper reports ( http://bit.ly/KvdIna) the jury awarded Phillip Webb $3 million in damages on Thursday. The lawsuit stems from a 2009 story that said Webb's son was not disciplined by the school system after the boy's arrest for assault.
In court, Webb's attorney said the newspaper implied Webb's son had received preferential treatment from the school system because of his father's job at Oscar Smith High School. He said the newspaper had no proof of any misconduct and that the story damaged his reputation.
Conrad Shumadine, an attorney for the newspaper, said the story was accurate.
Attorneys for the newspaper are asking the judge to set aside the jury's verdict.

What does it take to drive an unwanted gas drilling operation out a town?
Whether it's ultimately successful or not, campaigners and residents in one village in the UK are coursing a path towards victory and showing others what it might look like.
On Friday, over 1,000 anti-fracking campaigners are expected to join a protest camp near one of the U.K.'s most hotly-contested proposed fracking sites, promising more direct actions in an ongoing battle in a small West Sussex town.
These campaigners are cautiously celebrating a recent announcement by energy firm Cuadrilla that they have suspended exploratory drilling operations in the town of Balcombe due to the loud public backlash against the operation.
Cuadrilla said it had paused its operations following the advice of Sussex police who cited local outrage as a growing concern. Protesters, however, say their campaign against Cuadrilla's drilling efforts in the area will continue.
Thursday was not the first time Cuadrilla has been forced to halt operations in the town of Balcombe. The site has seen ongoing protests since its first day of exploratory operations earlier this summer, when over 200 anti-fracking activists and community members in Balcombe blockaded the company's trucks containing the initial fracking equipment from entering the town.
Cuadrilla recently took several of the activists to court over the protests. Those charged in the suit have pleaded not guilty to charges of "disruption." Roughly 40 people have been arrested since the protests began.
No Dash for Gas, the group organizing this week's six-day "Reclaim the Power" camp, promised there be would "direct actions" in the coming days. In addition the camp will host other activities, including skills-sharing, campaign-building and direct action workshops.
"Cuadrilla's announcement that they'll halt drilling is already a victory for us," said activist Luke Johnson, but added that there was still more to be done. "We would like to make sure they don't frack in Balcombe, or anywhere else at all."
A protest march is also expected on Sunday.
"We are expecting quite a few more people to arrive from London," said campaigner James Basin, "and obviously we will be visiting the site to see what a mess Cuadrilla has made of it."
What seems to be clear, at least so far, is that the stream of community and activist opposition has taken its toll on the gas company.

Wal–Mart gives original Orange site to state
Wal–Mart has given the state more than 50 acres near Wilderness battlefield at the site where it originally planned to build a Supercenter in Orange County, Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Friday.
"We are delighted by this generous and voluntary gift from Wal–Mart," McDonnell said in a news release. "It's another demonstration of Wal–Mart's role as a good and positive corporate citizen in Virginia, whose presence here serves long-range goals for our vitality."
The retail giant in 2011 abandoned its plans to build on the property near the intersection of State Routes 3 and 20 amid complaints from preservationists and a lawsuit challenging the county's approval of a special-use permit for the retail giant. The original site was about a quarter-mile north of the entrance to Wilderness battlefield area of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Wal–Mart eventually settled on a site off Route 3 about 4 miles to the west, where it opened a store in July.
Henry Jordan, a senior vice president for Eastern Seaboard Wal–Mart, said he was pleased the company was able to find a home in the county and donate land for historic preservation.
"In this way, we have been able to give back to the community and serve the needs of our customers," he said in a statement.
Virginia's Department of Historic Resources will oversee the donated land and protect it from development.
Department Director Kathleen S. Kilpatrick called it a "wonderful legacy gift" and noted that it comes during the midpoint of the Civil War sesquicentennial.
"We look forward to working with community leaders to steward the property and realize its potential for public benefit," she stated.
Jim Lighthizer, president of the Civil War Trust, called the donation an "important milestone in the protection of battlefield lands."
"With this donation, Wal–Mart successfully fulfills the commitment made in 2011 to choose an alternate site and work to set aside the original location," he said.
House Speaker Bill Howell of Stafford County, chairman of the state's Sesquicentennial Commission, thanked Wal–Mart for donating the land.
"The Civil War is an important part of Virginia's history," he said. "This donation will allow for the preservation of these historic lands for future generations."

The best fishing spots are usually excellent for wildlife viewing as well.
Guided fishing tours are available with several operators in surrounding communities of Denny Island, Hakai Pass, Ocean Falls, and Bella Coola.
Three species of salmon – chum, coho, and pink – spawn in the area's many coastal rivers and creeks. Chum are the last to spawn in the rivers and streams, and coho feast on kilometres/miles of kelp reefs located along the coastline, start late in July and continuing through September. Other potential catches include halibut (in Laredo Sound northwest of Swindle Island), lingcod, rockfish, and snapper. Herring, crab, prawns, urchins, and sea cucumbers are also harvested locally.

Zuza by Zoya can be best described as: Deep, saturated, oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish. A beachy, colorful, foil-like shade with the perfect balance between blue and green.
Finish - Foil
Intensity - 5 ( 1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque )
Tone - Cool
For Best Results
Step 1
Clean the nail plate with Remove Plus ( Remove+) nail polish remover and nail plate cleaner
Step 2
Choose and apply the right base coat:
Zoya Anchor for regular healthy nails or
Zoya GetEven for nails with ridges
Step 3
Apply 2 coats of your favorite Zoya Nail Polish Color
Step 4
Apply a coat of Zoya Armor Top Coat
Step 5
Drop one drop of Zoya Fast Drops to the base of your nail bed
Following these 5 steps guarantees up to 14 days of wear on natural nails.
Zuza is a great color for summer. Very tropical, bright, and different than any other polish I`ve seen. However, in person it`s slightly darker and more teal-shaded than turquoise. Still a polish I wear often and it looks great on (I have fair, warm-toned skin), but it isn`t as light as the picture makes it seem.
I love this color, looks so glamorous on your nail. The glitters are so fine and opaque that you would only need one coat. Normally certain shades of turquois would make me look too dark. This shade is perfect, not too green nor blue. Work great with my yellow undertone. I am a nail polish junkie and love changing my nail polish color often; however I think if I was forced to use one color forever, this would be it!! LOVE!
When I first saw this in a review, I didn`t really pay it much attention...but when I took a second look I realized how pretty it was and that I had no other color like it, and so I decided to get it....And I`m so glad I did...the color is even more gorgeous in person, the formula if wonderful (of course, its a Zoya) and you can get away with just one coat...gonna buy a few more bottles cause this is definitely one of my go to colors.
I was so excited to get this color because I thought it would be perfect for summer, I was super disappointed when I got it. It is not nearly as bright as it looks online or in the paper ads. To me, it is an okay color, but don`t get this if you are looking for something that pops.
great summer polish
First, I`m a harsh reviewer. I rarely give anything above a 3. I`m new to Zoya polish, and this color was my first. WOW! The color is a perfect summer turquoise. It lasted several weeks on my toes and still looked fabulous when I changed polish. Two coats plus a top coat were just right. This will be a regular in my summer polish rotation
It`s a beautiful color but on the website it advertises it as a turquoise with a gold and silver metallic shimmer but it has more of a silvery turquoise shimmer. I love it!
I`m wearing this color for the first time and it is simply gorgeous, the best summery color I`ve found yet. :]

Bass Music Essential VOL2 | BMEV002
Artist(s) included: Savant
This time, I'd like to share the coolest stuffs from Norwegian producer Aleksander Vinter aka Savant. Savant has been previously producing under the aliases Vinter in Hollywood, Vinter in Vegas, Datakrash, Blanco, Megatron, Numa, The Protos and Twin World. To be honest I'm a great fan of Savant's production style because I too believe that electronic music is something to be explored, not just limited by producing a particular genre. I agree, there would be personal interests and inspiration while producing, but you should explore more!.
His producing alias "Savant" comes from the rare syndrome of the same name, something that has gifted him with prodigious music productiion abilities and thus he produces stuff in FL Studio at an incredibly fast rate. As a fan, I'm eagerly waiting for his next album "Orakel" from SectionZ.

Tehran Metro & Metro Map
Tehran's metro system is clean, cheap and efficient and an ideal way to avoid the traffic snarl above ground.
Single journey tickets start at around IR1000 (expect this to change) and can also be bought for 10 journeys or as 1, 3 and 7 day travel cards. There are also monthly, 3-monthly, 6-monthly and annual tickets.
Hours of operation on the Tehran metro are from 6am to 10pm or 10.30pm. Station and train announcements are in Farsi only. Tehran's buses connect with metro stations.
Carriages can be extremely packed at peak times; the first and last cars are reserved for women. If you are female, use them.
Tehran's subway system is a work in progress, and when finally completed (in another decade or so) will be longer than the New York subway. Presently (2008) only sections of Line 1 (Red), Line 2 (Blue) and all of Line 5 (Green) are fully in operation. The Tehran metro carries over a million people daily.

Tehran Metro
The metro in Tehran first opened in 1999 and at present consists of 3 lines: Line 1 (red line), Line 2 (blue line) and Line 5 (green line). There are plans for a total of 9 lines on the drawing board.
The suburban Line 5 was the first to open and links Tehran to Mehrshahr, 40km west of the capital.
Line 2 connects with Line 5 at Tehran Station and runs east-west, intersecting with the north-south Line 1 at Imam Khomeini Square. Visitors to the historic town of Rey can ride all the way there on Line 1.
The Tehran metro operates daily from 6am-10pm and fares are presently 1000 Rials (2008) for one single journey.
Magnetic strip 1-Day, 3-Day, 7-Day, monthly, 3-monthly, 6-monthly and annual passes are all available.
Many of the stations are beautifully decorated with traditional tile mosaics.
Metro systems are also planned for other Iranian cities, including Mashhad and Esfahan.
