May 2014
"The Art of Braiding Bread" has been updated
It now has 541 images and 9 videos.
What's new:
Visit my other blog "The 12 Strand Club" and accept the challenge of braiding with 12 strands.
This is a synopsis of my book "The Art of Braiding Bread"
Why is braiding bread significant
Presentation is very important in nutrition. From the moment we are allowed or decide to choose our own food we select what we want to eat. First we look at it, then we smell it and lastly we taste it. And only then, if all our senses approve, we swallow it. Later we remember what we liked and disliked, in lasting impressions. If when we look at food what we see seems appetizing we are more inclined to smell and taste it. A simple loaf of bread might take away our hunger but a braided loaf announces that somebody spent time preparing something special for a celebration.
Learning How to Braid Dough
If you thought braiding dough was uncomplicated or straightforward you would not be looking at these lines now. In the book we start with the most basic of braids, the one with 3 strands, and then patiently and progressively go up to any number of them, with practical step by step description of the process. Braids have been classified systematically so now it is easy to refer to a particular braid and compare it with other ones.
There are Quick Reference Guides for some braids, which you can print out and have at hand when braiding.
The book offers something even for proficient bread braiders; some chapters present a challenge, in video form, in which braiding is carried to the professional level.
The book is eminently visual, illustrated with 541 diagram enhanced pictures and 9 videos. The game plans can be replicated at home at your own pace. Nothing is taken for granted, and you can try the procedures over and over again until you COMPREHEND them. Furthermore, if you don't succeed today, come back tomorrow.
"The Art of Braiding Bread" is available in two versions, both in English. One is published by Amazon and the other by Smashwords. The two have the same price.
To find out which version suits you best I suggest you use the "Look Inside" feature of Amazon books or the "Download Sample" of Smashwords.

|RTF (readable on most word processors)
|LRF (Use only for older model Sony Readers that don't support .epub)
|Palm Doc (PDB) (for Palm reading devices)
|Plain Text (download) (flexible, but lacks much formatting)
I invite you to buy the book. In the meantime I offer you some excerpts from it.
Thank You
Presentation is very important in nutrition. Before ingesting food we try to make sure that it will be safe to do so, and hopefully also enjoyable. To help us with the decision our different senses cooperate with each other. First the eyes must approve it, then the nose has to agree and finally the tongue makes the last pronouncement.
This mass of dough, when baked like it is will give you an acceptable loaf.
But this same amount of dough can be enhanced by braiding it
And your bread will look like this
Braiding the bread gives it added value, a more professional look.
Some people don't know how to or are afraid of braiding bread dough for dread of ruining a batch of it. To get skilled at braiding take about 1 cup (circa 4 oz or 114 g) of all purpose flour and add enough water to make a workable mass. There is no need of kneading this dough, just form ropes with it and practice. You can re-form it as many times as you like. The cost is negligible and it will keep a long time, well wrapped, in the refrigerator. The gluten will give out after having used the dough for some time, discard ¼ of it and replace with new so you don't lose the feel of the real thing.
I don't advise using Plasticine or Play-Doh because it will soil your kitchen work surface and doesn't behave like real bread dough.
The abundance of salt in "Pate Mort" destroys the gluten of the mixture and again you will not have the experience of the authentic material.
If you want to learn how to braid dough don't try practicing with yarn, string or rolled up wet paper towels since this will only make things more difficult for you because these materials don't have the plasticity of the original.
Braiding 3 Strands of Bread DoughRoll out 3 strands of dough, of equal length and diameter, with tapering ends.
Pinch together the strands at the top.
Have the book in front of you and repeat the moves just as you see them there. In order to guide you I have drawn a red line on the rope you have to move and an arrow showing the direction in which you have to move it; after you did, the displaced strand is again highlighted. At first you will make the moves mechanically, repeat them until you gain an understanding of the process.
There is only one way of braiding 3 strands, but there are several ways of describing or presenting the procedure.
Description I
Take the right hand strand and pull it over the one next to it.
You will obtain this.
Then take the left hand strand and pull it over the one next to it.
And this is what you will get.
That is all there is to it, now keep repeating the moves until you reach the end of the strands.
Description 2 (see the book)
Description 3 (see the book)
The Double Rope 3 Strand Braid.
Note how a simple modification can lead to such an interesting pattern.
The Triple Rope 3 Strand BraidThis carries the multiple strand concept one step further.
There are two variants: (see the book)
Improving the 3 strand braidIn relatively long braids the inevitable pulling on strands makes the braid become progressively more elongated and consequently uneven. To prevent this, start the braid at the middle of the ropes.
There are also other ways of arranging three strands in order to start the braid from the middle of the ropes. Both techniques I am going to present next will give you a nicely proportioned loaf.
Initial display
The 6 Pointed Star Way
Initial arrangement
The Double Decker
A simple thing like placing one braid on top of another one gives the loaf volume and an appealing visual effect.
Cut off 1/3 of the dough and braid both parts.
The Triple Decker
In this case, holding together the 3 stages with wooden dowels is imperative.
How to control the size of a braided loaf
In bread braiding, given a certain amount of dough, the hitherto still unsolved problem was how to manage the size of the bread.
Comparison of two braids, each made with the same amount of dough into 4 ropes but braided using different techniques. The one on the right resulted in a braid 10% shorter (and consequently plumper) than the one on the left.
According to my studies linear braids of 3,4,5 and 6 ropes diminish in length an average of 20 to 25% from strand to finished bread.
Consequently, once you decide how long your braid should be, the ropes you roll should be longer in the corresponding percentage.
Bread WreathsThey make an attractive centerpiece for any dinner table. Use an inverted plate or bowl to determine the inside diameter of the wreath and then measure its circumference. Calculate the length the ropes should have according to what was mentioned earlier.
In this case the threads must have the same diameter throughout (no tapered ends).
Cover the union where the ends meet with a small braid.
The surface of ropes can be made intriguing by creating epi cuts on them.
Going Beyond 3 StrandsAlthough having learned to plait with 3 strands may have opened up a whole world of experiences for you, it is in human nature to always want to go beyond. So let's tackle braiding bread with from 4 to an infinite number of ropes.
The 4 Strand BraidsSince we will be examining multiple ways of braiding 4 strands I have arbitrarily given them names derived from the Greek alphabet for identification.
The 4 Strand Alpha Braid
The finished braid
The baked loafThis is a simple flat braid useful as it is or as a base for a multiple decked loaf. It is also particularly interesting, when braided a bit loosely, if you wish to embed objects in it such as eggs, candles (Saint Lucia Day) or similar, which with other kind of patterns might end with an unbalanced, asymmetrical result.
The 4 Strand Beta Braid
The 4 Strand Gamma Braid
The 4 Strand Delta Braid
The 4 Strand Epsilon Braid
It is worthwhile to try this technique because of its versatility. As we shall see further on, its basic moves can be used with any number of strands, from 4 up, even or odd (see further on "The 5 Strand Delta Braid" and "The 6 Strand Alpha Braid").
To make braiding easier "Quick Reference Guides" are interspersed throughout the book
Braiding with 5 strands
Delving into various 5 strand braiding techniques I have again taken the liberty of randomly assigning them names derived from the Greek alphabet.
The 5 Strand Alpha Braid
The 5 Strand Beta Braid
The 5 Strand Gamma Braid
An interesting feature of this braid is its asymmetrical end result.
The 5 Strand Delta Braid
This plaid uses the same basic moves that were presented in the 4 Strand Epsilon Braid.
The finished braid
The baked loaf
The 5 Strand Epsilon Braid
This interesting braid is formed by one side feeding the other and vice versa.
Among other uses, this five strand plait is suitable for long braids because it can easily be started from the middle of the ropes and consequently produce a balanced outcome.
The braid was made into a wreath.
Doing It With 6 Strands
The 6 Strand Alpha BraidAs was mentioned before, the technique used in the 4 Strand Epsilon Braid can be upgraded to any number of strands. This is the example with 6 ropes.
The finished braid
The baked loaf
The 6 Strand Beta Braid
The 6 Strand Gamma Braid
This tress takes the 4 Strand Beta Braid one step further.
The 6 Strand Delta Braid
The finished braid
The baked loaf
The Two Four Braid
Why the name? Because you use 2 strands but end up working with 4 extremities.
In this case it's the threads that are numbered and not the positions.
The finished braid
The baked loaf
With this braiding technique the combination of shrinking due to braiding, expansion of proofing and oven spring result in a circa 34% of length diminution from rope to finished bread. That means you will obtain a nice plump loaf with it.
The Twist
Just twisting 2 ropes of dough together can lead to multiple uses for it. First of all, as is, either baked in free-form or in a pan. Then it can be formed into a wreath or serve as a base or top in a multi-decked loaf.
Repeat the moves described in the pictures, across an imaginary axis.
The finished twist
A braided twist makes an interesting wreath.

How to Braid a Round Loaf of Bread
Arrange the threads as shown above
The braided dough
The Sunburst Bread Braid
Here we are combining two different kinds of braids in a single loaf.

and the Centerpiece

AfterEllen.com's Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters
45. Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), Glee
In a school where saccharine sappiness and you-can-do-it ideology threatened to take over the student body, only Sue Sylvester was willing to take a stand against the Glee Club. Her tongue is toxic, her zingers are caustic, and her hatred for Will Schuester is a message we can all believe in.
44. River Song (Alex Kingston), Doctor Who
Of all the companions to find their way into the TARDIS over the years, River Song stands alone — partially because she's actually made from that wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. She's full of sass and snark and spoilers. Us and her, time and space, you watch us run.
43. Helen Stewart (Simone Lahbib), Bad Girls
Helen Stewart arrived at Larkhall with the widest eyes and biggest plans and sexiest Scottish accent we have ever heard, but on day one her world flipped upside down when she had a run-in with headstrong inmate Nikki Wade. Before she knew what was happening, Helen was falling in love. And so were we.

Pope Francis, formerly known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ, became the 266th Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church on March 13, 2013.
Prior to his election by the conclave, the Holy Father served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Blessed John Paul II proclaimed him a Cardinal in 2001.
Pope Francis was born in Buenos Aires on December 17, 1936, and ordained for the Jesuits in 1969. He has been a rector, confessor, spiritual director and skilled leader serving the Church in many roles.
The Papal Foundation welcomes Pope Francis and will work closely with him to address the spiritual and human needs of people around the world.
October 8, 2014 – Last week Pope Francis convened Catholic leaders from across the Middle East for three days of discussion, reflection and prayer. Each leader is facing crises in their home countries ranging from refugee resettlement to ongoing sectarian conflict to brutal human rights violations.

AFBF pushing to restore tax provisions
Agriculture is overwhelmingly united in its support of Section 179 and bonus depreciation, which provide flexible means for farm and ranch businesses to write off and deduct business expenses. Letters of support have been sent by groups from around the country, including the Broad Tax Extender Coalition. The coalition's letter has been signed by more than 500 organizations.
Shipping delays pile on more harvesting woes
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports the number of railcars hauling grain is up from last year by 15 percent, but some grain elevators say otherwise. Some have speculated the oil and gas industry is to blame for some of the backlog, which has increased by 13 percent since 2013.
Farm groups want new immigration laws, not an executive order
the American Farm Bureau Federation, the nation's biggest farmer organization, said it does not expect the president's plan to help U.S. farmers deal with the labor shortage. "Our nation loses millions of dollars in fruit and vegetable production every year because farmers cannot find labor to harvest everything they grow," AFBF President Bob Stallman said. "This order will not change that.
Farm Interests Ready for Immigration Bill
President Obama's executive actions on immigration may alleviate some pressure in the short-term for some agricultural workers, but long-term assurance is needed for employers, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives CEO Chuck Conner said Thursday.
Will Ohio have CAUV changes by 2016?
While he stopped short of a full endorsement, Ohio Tax Commissioner Joe Testa this week said the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's recommendations to modernize the state's Current Agricultural Use Value, or CAUV, property tax formula have a good deal of merit.
CAUV saves farmers billions
Recently, events in the agricultural sector have caused the formula to result in a spike.
Ohio turkey farmers narrow down choice birds for presidential pardon
Cooper Farm, located in Boehner's 8th District and led by campaign supporter Gary Cooper, will furnish the fine fowl that will serve as America's top bird. Gary Cooper was selected to chair the National Turkey Federation. In keeping with the 66-year tradition, the NTF head supplies the annual national turkey to the President.
Are farm crops key players in changes to seasonal carbon cycle?
Farming's influence has come not from large increases in acres planted but from enormous increases in farm productivity, the two teams note. According to one of the two studies, fertilizers, improved crop breeds, and better irrigation have been roughly twice as influential as the fertilizing effect of rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The Farm Budget Blowout That Could Cost Taxpayers Billions
The farm bill's new programs were meant to cost the taxpayer less by replacing a nearly two-decade-old scheme of direct cash payments to farmers, which were about $5 billion a year and were made regardless of need.
Farm Bureau Challenges EPA Authority Over States to Enforce TMDLs
On Tuesday, lawyers representing American Farm Bureau Federation and Pennsylvania Farm Bureau began presenting oral arguments before the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. At issue is whether U.S. EPA has the authority to mandate specific means and timeframes to achieve Total Maximum Daily Load goals for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Move your bird into the full-featured home with the floor plan of his dreams. This delightful wire cage with decorative architectural accents includes a removable floor grill and drawer, two outside access cups, two perches for comfortable seating, large entryway door, and a rooftop access door.Metal cage is finished in bird-safe enamel. Decorative accents are made of durable, bird-safe plastic.Easy-clean design and materials means minimum maintenance.Assembles in minutes.Ideal for parakeets.
Parts Included:1 steel base with pull out tray1 staircase with banister (+ 2 screws)1 wire grill flooring1 wire home body1 wire roof (flat)1 turret assembly (2 halves)1 top cornice assembly1 front door2 brass rings (large and small)2 feeding cup windows2 perches with end caps2 feeding cups3 window framesAssembly InstructionsAttach Wire Body Mesh to BaseFirst, create a square from the body mesh, and close the wire loops with pliers, using a cloth to protect painted finish. Attach squared body to base unit, by raising the horizontal wire lock on the side of the cage. This will allow the positioning wires to be inserted into the elongated holes in the base. Once the positioning wires are in place on one side, secure by lowering the wire lock. Repeat this for the other side. When complete, the wire body should be secure with the base, fitting into all guide holes, with the locks on the right/left in the locked (down) position.Attach Wire Roof To Cage BodyLay flat wire roof assembly into position on top of the wire cage body. The notched section of the flat roof will be in the front/right section of the cage, with the top door opening upward. Secure roof to body by engaging all of the wire loops between the narrow spaced roof bars. The front and rear latches attach to the second roof wires respectively. Crimp with pliers for maximum security. Please use a cloth when crimping with pliers, to protect painted finish.Assemble Corner TurretHold the two halves of the turret assembly in your hand, so that the shingles of the roof join in the proper position. Slide the larger brass ring up from the bottom of the assembly, and snap it into place just below the roof line. Then do the same with the smaller ring, snapping it into its groove at the bottom of the assembly. To attach to cage press the pie cut (v shaped) portion of the turret into the top right corner of the cage body, position the plastic hook over the small horizontal guide wire on front panel, and slide down into position. The top hook will naturally latch the second roof wire, and the turret will be straight and secure.Install Decorative Cornice TopPlace decorative top cornice into desired position, on the top left of the cage. Cornice will snap and secure into position between wires on the roof.Attach Feeder Cup WindowsAttach windows/feeder cup doorss by snapping them into the two wire openings on the front and left side of the cage. When the feeding cups are in place, and the windows are in the closed position, the window create a snug and secure fit for the cup, and be able to slide up/down freely.Attach Front DoorAttach front door by inserting the bottom of the door slightly into the cage, at an angle, and resting the two guide wires inside the cage. At this point the door will be resting comfortably in the open position. Close door by raising the drawbridge door unit and hooking the top wires.Attach Front Stairs to Metal DrawerAttach front stairs and railing to holes in steel pull-out drawer using screws provided (taped to stairs).Insert Grill Flooring, Accessory Windows & PerchesSlide the wire grill floor into position, so it rests on the grill slide channels in the metal base unit, and the handle is on the right side of the cage. Attach end caps to perches and install. Snap the decorative window frames in desired positions, according to personal taste.

One might start shooting as soon as I'm finished; the other, I'm toying with doing as an animated film instead of live action, possibly along the lines of Polar Express.What are your current fixations?I hardly listen to any music. That's so awful you're a music magazine! I rented a car for a few months about a year ago that had satellite radio in it, and I would take the long way around to get places so I could listen to that. I love Korean food, Thai food, Peruvian food. Those are my big food groups. I make a Christmas card every year so I'm just putting the final touches on that. And gifts I'm a big gift giver.Why do you live where you do?I live in Los Angeles. It was between New York and Los Angeles to be an actor. I grew up in Florida, so Los Angeles was the closer of the two for nature and climate.What do you consider a mind-altering work of art?Let me ask you an aside here: do most people who do this get the questions in advance? Have they had time to think about it? Maybe I should just say nature. I'm just blown away by the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, the ocean. The earth just seems like a big work of art.What's been your most memorable or inspirational gig and why?I have to tell you what's going on outside the window of my hotel there's a huge skyscraper with a huge apparatus on the top of it. I just figured out now it's the window cleaning thing. It's been moving around the whole roof of it, it's got cables hanging down and someone at the very bottom is cleaning windows. It's remarkable! I thought it was from outer space! What was the question again?Yesterday I did my only second in my life in-store appearance in Manhattan. It was a two hour event that went five hours. There were at least a thousand people there, some who camped out the night before. People were hooking up in line. Every single person had a story, got their picture taken, and would use the person they had just met in line to take the picture. The number of people who said "you're the person I'm an actor, a painter, an artist " It was like a dream. People gave me about 100 photos of people dressed up like me for Halloween.What have been your career highs and lows?My show winning 22 Emmys. Being named by TV Guide as one of the top ten cult TV shows of all times. Getting to make Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Finding Tim Burton to direct that movie. I flew on the Oscars one year. I don't know if I view anything as a real low. Certainly getting arrested was certainly not a high. I spent a long time trying to come up with a follow-up movie to Pee-wee's Big Adventure; it was a disappointment, but I don't think it was a career low.What's the meanest thing someone has said to you before, during or after a gig?People don't normally wait around to tell you how much they don't like you. The people you meet are the people who really like you.What do you think everyone should shut up about?I'd like to have people shut up on their cell phones. I was on the elevator the other day, totally crammed with people, and one person on a really long loud phone call. It seemed to me that the person could have said "just hold on for 30 seconds" but instead ten or 12 people had to hear their stupid conversation. That being said, I took a phone call in the middle of a dinner last night in a restaurant, where a dozen people probably looked at me like "Oh god, don't you know anything?"What traits do you most like and most dislike about yourself?I like my curiosity, my willingness to go out on a limb, my feeling like I have nothing to lose a lot of time. I'm a little bit fearless. And that is crippled by, you know, fear. I'm back and forth. I think probably more than anything, my ability to put myself in someone else's shoes. What don't I like? My unfounded fear. Fear of going to a party I've almost never gone to a party that I haven't pushed myself to go to, overcome some kind of fear (which I like about myself), and then gone "wow, what was wrong with me? Why didn't I just go to that party without all this baggage?"What advice should you have taken but didn't?I don't surround myself with yes people. I have a lot of people who give me advice and help me, and I'm very good at taking their advice.Page 2 » GET IT!

Ypsilanti City to Repave Prospect Rd. in 2015
A deteriorated portion of Prospect Rd. (Holmes Rd. to Grove Rd.) will be repaved next year after the Ypsilanti City Council voted in favor of the $1.4 million project.
The city would pay about $566,800 and officials expect to receive $915,200 in federal aid. Federal Surface Transportation Urban funds have been appropriated for the project through the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study. The city plans to spread the cost out over three budget years - fiscal years 2014 - 2016.
Ypsilanti asked OHM Advisors to prepare an analysis of its repair options for Prospect Rd. and the firm said Prospect Rd. between Holmes Rd. and Cross St. is in failed condition. The city identified Prospect Rd. between Holmes Rd. and Cross St. as its "greatest concern," according to OHM. OHM has suggested repavement of the entire Prospect corridor as a possibility.
The city has already secured funding for resurfacing the Prospect Bridge in the 2014 construction season. The project will include resurfacing the bridge deck. The city has also applied for safety grant funding to provide a dedicated left turn signal phase for Prospect Rd. at Michigan Ave.
OHM said the city could see potential savings on construction costs due to volume and elimination of redundant efforts such as traffic control and detours. The city could also see savings on design engineering due to one bid package and a single contract.

starvation state park
About Starvation State Park
Starvation State Park was established in 1972, two years after the Bureau of Reclamation's constructed the dam, which created the 3,495 surface acre reservoir as part of the Central Utah Water Project.
The name "Starvation" has been credited to two legends. One saying that a group of mountain men caught in winter snows survived by stealing a cache of food belonging to local Indians and as a result the Indians starved. The other moreoften told legend, relates the opposite story of the Indians stealing the trapper's cache of food leaving the trappers to starve. It is, however, very likely that neither legend, even if true, bears reference to the naming of the dam and reservoir.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, cattlemen and homesteaders tried to make a go of it along the banks of the Strawberry River in the area now occupied by the reservoir and dam. Their story is one of hardship, perseverance and facing near starvation in a very hostile and harsh environment. Winters were hard, long and extremely cold. Their cattle and livestock often froze during these winter months, and the short growing season was hindered by flooding, hailstorms, early frosts and other calamities. They nicknamed the area "Starvation" and it was from this reference that the highway bridge, reservoir, dam and state park received their names.
The annual walleye fishing tournament has become a popular fishing event with trophy 10-plus pound fish being caught each year. The scenic beauty of 3,500 acres of park land, many coves, remote beaches and unusually blue water makes this a favorite of boating enthusiasts statewide.
Opened to the public as a state park in 1972.

In a close call, city is Nats' turf
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
COMPLETE COVERAGE: View all related stories and images on the Fredericksburg baseball proposal
It has probably never crossed the minds of most people jogging along Fredericksburg's Heritage Trail under the Falmouth Bridge that they are within 15 miles of Prince William County.
But that fact is an important factor in Fredericksburg's effort to land a minor league baseball team.
Major League Baseball rules give every team an operating territory. Any team affiliated with Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball that wants to locate within that territory must get the consent of the team that controls the area.
The Washington Nationals' territory comprises the District of Columbia; Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties; and all Virginia cities bordering those counties.
In addition to those defined territories, every Major League team and its Minor League affiliates are granted a 15-mile buffer in which no other team can operate without consent.
"No Minor League Club may play its home games within the home territory or within 15 miles of the home territory of any Major League Club" without consent, states MLB Rule 52.
An analysis of Geographic Information System data by Kevin Byrnes, director of regional planning for the George Washington Regional Commission, shows a slim area of Fredericksburg that falls within that 15-mile buffer. Along Interstate 95, there is about a 15.7-mile buffer between the city and Prince William.
The city parcels that fall within the buffer are around the point where Caroline Street meets Riverside Drive. Slightly less than 15 miles away lies the extreme southeast corner of Prince William in the Quantico area.
The site of the proposed Fredericksburg baseball stadium in Celebrate Virginia South is more than 15 miles from Prince William. But according to Steve Densa, executive director of communications for Minor League Baseball, if any part of a locality falls within the buffer, consent must be obtained from the team that controls that territory.
And hence, he said, any Minor League Baseball team that wishes to locate in Fredericksburg must obtain the consent of the Washington Nationals. Densa added that if a Nationals affiliate did come to Fredericksburg, a subsequent change of affiliation would not require the club to leave.
Nationals weigh in
The Nationals have authorized the Hagerstown Suns, their low Class-A affiliate, to relocate to Fredericksburg, but the Nationals have said they don't intend to allow any other team to come to Fredericksburg.
"I write this letter to alleviate any confusion that may exist with respect to the consent of the Washington Nationals Baseball Club of the application of the Hagerstown Suns, LLC to relocate to Fredericksburg, Virginia," Nationals Vice President and General Counsel Damon T. Jones wrote in a June 17 letter to Suns majority owner Bruce Quinn.
"The Hagerstown Suns is the only team we have authorized, and the only team we intend to authorize, to relocate to Fredericksburg, Virginia," Jones continued.
The Suns have proposed to relocate to Fredericksburg if the city will build a stadium whose construction costs are estimated at $29.5 million.
Public reaction to the initially proposed financing plan, which included a significant real estate tax increase on Central Park and Celebrate Virginia, was overwhelmingly negative at a Tuesday public hearing, though there was ample support expressed for a local Minor League Baseball team.
City Councilmen Fred Howe and Brad Ellis were appointed Tuesday to help City Manager Bev Cameron negotiate a new deal with the Suns. Quinn has pointed out that the tax district wasn't his idea, and has indicated a willingness to negotiate on the terms of the deal.
Other teams interested?
Representatives of a group called Play Ball VA! have questioned whether the Nationals have the ability to block a move to Fredericksburg and have indicated that other affiliated baseball teams have expressed an interest in coming here if the Suns deal doesn't work out.
Play Ball VA! was formed after the members of a predecessor group, Rappahannock Baseball Initiative, went separate ways in March. RBI member Tom Byrnes has continued to work on the deal with the Suns, while former RBI members Bob Hagan, Hap Connors and Irv McGowan are now with Play Ball VA!
Though the Nationals would have the right to block another club from coming here, the team wouldn't have to. There are examples of minor league teams playing within 15 miles of the home territory of a major league team with which they're not affiliated. Examples include the teams in Trenton, N.J., and Wilmington, Del., neither of which is affiliated with the Philadelphia Phillies, despite falling in the Phillies' territory.
Major League Baseball territorial rules don't affect independent professional baseball leagues.
Spotsylvania falls outside the Nationals' territory, though that county is within the Richmond Flying Squirrels' zone, according to Eric Krupa, president of the South Atlantic League in which the Suns play.

Lots of laughs. The people from the audience were very good as well as the regular actors.
About the Ticket Supplier: La Habra Depot TheatreThe La Habra Community Theatre began in 1976 as a Children's Theatre project of the City's newly established Cultural Arts Council. The first production was Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It was performed in La Habra High School's lecture hall since the city did not have a Community Performing Arts Facility.
At the same time, the 1909 Pacific Electric Depot building stood empty and in danger of demolition if it was not restored to a functional role in the community. Planning for its renovation as a Community Performing Arts Facility was initiated by the Mayor of La Habra and supported by the City Council as well as many community members. The "train station", or depot, was then moved across the street to its current location in Portola Park to integrate it into the master plan for the redevelopment of downtown La Habra.
Funding to restore the depot and convert it to a Theatre came largely from the Federal Government Restoration of Historical Landmarks. "The Depot" was declared Orange County Historical Landmark Site #14.
In January of 1980, the Children's Theatre project was expanded to incorporate adult theatre. Then, in July of 1982, the 100 members of the Community Theatre moved into the Depot Playhouse. The first performance in the restored building was the musical Oklahoma. On August 15, 1995 the Depot Playhouse became a non-profit tax-exempt organization and officially became know as Depot Theatre of La Habra. The theatre's board of directors and all production committees are comprised of community volunteers. The Depot Theatre is one of the few community organizations which functions without a single paid staff member.

Securitas Direct AB, whose alarms guard almost a million properties in nine countries, received a 9.6 billion kronor ($1.5 billion) takeover bid from a group of investors who said the company can grow better in private hands.
Swedish investors EQT Partners AB, Saeki AB, Melker Schoerling AB and Investment AB Latour (LATOB) offered 26 kronor in cash for every Class B share, their ESML Interessenter AB venture said. The bid is 25 percent above the closing price yesterday. The group already holds 40.5 percent of Securitas Direct votes.
Securitas Direct surged as much as 35 percent to 28.1 kronor, indicating investors expect the group to raise its bid. The company, which has struggled to meet targets for customer retention and growth after Securitas AB spun it off last year, needs to invest more to sustain growth in markets including Spain, and can do so better as a private entity, ESML said.
Alan Fournier, managing member of Pennant Capital, which owns approximately 6.5 percent of Securitas Direct shares, described the offer as ``grossly inadequate'' and ``highly opportunistic.''
``The bidders are highly disingenuous in praising the advantages of private ownership during a growth investment phase'' while at the same time adding debt to the capital structure, Fournier said in an e-mailed statement. He said that a ``fair valuation'' of Securitas Direct is ``north of 40 kronor per share.''
`Less Generous'
``The premium is decent, but by no means exceptional, and there's no guarantee that it will be raised,'' said Johan Stein, who helps manage the equivalent of $14.1 billion at Nordea Asset Management in Stockholm. ``Bids have become less generous as this kind of behavior has become more prevalent.''
The shares closed at 26.5 kronor in Stockholm, where Securitas Direct is based. Before today, the shares had fallen 4.2 percent this year. Securitas spun off the company last year together with another subsidiary to focus on manned guarding.
Securitas Direct hired SEB Enskilda to advise on the offer, and Chairman Ulf Mattsson and another independent board member will evaluate the bid, the company said in a statement.
Securitas Direct needs to expand into new markets to offset cooling housing growth in Spain, its biggest market, and increasing saturation in the Nordic countries, the bidders said.
``The company needs to make big investments, which are going to hurt profit, and this makes it hard to defend its value on the stock exchange,'' Harry Klagsbrun, senior partner at EQT Partners, said today in an interview. The level needed is at least 500 million kronor, he said.
Home Equipment
Securitas Direct Chief Executive Officer Dick Seger is standardizing the company's home equipment offerings on wireless security devices that send break-in alerts to local patrol teams and police. The company has introduced the new model with the Aroundio brand in Sweden and Finland.
The company is active in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal in addition to Spain and the Nordic countries. About 158,000 of its 919,000 customers are small businesses.
Securitas AB spun off Securitas Direct at the same time as Securitas Systems AB, which makes video surveillance and alarm technology. Saeki, Melker Schoerling and Latour also hold stakes in Securitas Systems, Securitas, and Assa Abloy AB, the world's largest lockmaker.
The approach unites EQT, the buyout firm associated with Sweden's Wallenberg family, and three listed investment companies. Melker Schoerling was chief executive officer of Securitas between 1987 and 1992 and still chairman. The bid is the first cooperation of the three companies with EQT, which contacted the other bidders to create the group.
Disclosure Obligations
EQT owns about 64 percent of ESML, while Latour has 17 percent, Melker Schoerling 10 percent and Saeki 8 percent.
``As a privately held company without quarterly disclosure obligations, it will be easier to implement the capital investments that are required for the company's long-term development,'' Saeki CEO Fredrik Palmstierna said in a release.
Seger cut the target for new customer growth for the year to just above 15 percent in the third-quarter results, down from 20 percent earlier. The company's third-quarter cancellation rate has risen to 6.9 percent from 5.7 percent in the year since the spinoff, while new installations were little changed.
Net income was 54.1 million kronor, while sales gained 15 percent to 953.7 million kronor in the third quarter, the company said last week.

- Best Experience EverTanLicDined on 11/5/2014My first time at Sterling this evening. I'm no foodie but oh my goodness it was absolutely incredible. Du jamais vue pour moi.

- Beyond ExpectationHrhchefDined on 10/28/2014Great food great service great ambiance. Having a tour of the resto was the highlight. Steak was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't think it could get Better...BlcKCzRDined on 10/25/2014but it did the second time back. By chance we were greeted and escorted in from the parking lot by the Maître D, taken to our seats and handed over to our waiter for the evening who provided us with exceptional service, attention and care. The cuts of steak were cooked impeccably based on our individual desires. The ambiance was very relaxing and conducive for great conversation. When you are ready for fine dining, Sterling is a great bet. This dinner was the launching pad for a great night of birthday festivities.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A fall lunchSoniDined on 10/23/2014We enjoyed very much our lunch at Sterling last week: excellent food and service!Special Features:
- Very nice restaurantEagleeyeDined on 10/18/2014The interior of the restaurant reminded us of a cozy lake house. The walls of windows around the restaurant allowed guests to take advantage of the beautiful river view. Unfortunately, we were seated at a tiny table against the wall and a radiator (near the bar) which would have ruined our experience had the waiter not moved us after our drinks arrived. We ordered the potato leak soup, filet mignon, and a side of mushrooms. The soup and steak were excellent, but the mushrooms were finely sliced and a bit tough (whole sauteed mushrooms would have been better). The service was impeccable. The ambiance was nice, but some soft background music, open-flame candles, and/or some crystal chandeliers would have added to it. We want to return to this restaurant when there is no wedding underway and when the weather is warmer so that we can enjoy the patio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great decor....so so serviceDisappointed2Dined on 9/28/2014This place was "bragging" about being one of the best steak houses in the Ottawa-Gatineau area....so decided to try it...while the decor was impeccable, the food was slightly disappointing.....the steak tartare was a little too salty from my guest and my perspective ( I don't put any salt on my food except for a few exceptions).....my guest ordered her filet mignon "medium-rare" but it was served like I had ordered mine, namely "rare".... More importantly the service was irritating....they waiter and bus staff kept coming to fill our water glass trying to be "attentive" but would never ask if we wanted more but just assumed that we did...in addition, they never inquired whether our food was to our liking or what observations we had...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not impressedDany20Dined on 9/26/2014most of the food was very good but not the steak and for a 400$ meal I do expect a much higher quality. and the waiter did not give us enough time in between services...Special Features:
- Fantastic beef selectionsJimmyC3992Dined on 9/25/2014Fantastic beef -some of the best I have ever eaten. The Filet was prepared exactly to my liking and all the add ons were well presented. Great wine and delicious desserts. Very attentive service.Special Features:
- LovelycocoquietDined on 9/24/2014Thank you for a beautiful, delicious and extraordinary birthday! As usual top of line service, delicious meal and always taken care of on any occasion.Special Features:
- Amazing!SteakFoodyDined on 9/20/2014This was my second time at Sterling, and again I was very pleased. The rib steak came cooked perfectly, medium rare. Although I found it was lacking flavor, just a plain steak. The mushroom sauce was ok, would have preferred more of a beefy flavor. Was lacking a rub or seasoning. Also mashed potatoes came with perfect texture. But again the potatoes weren't seasoned really at all, just tasted very potato-ey. Very plain taste. Asparagus was cooked perfectly, crisp but not raw. The wine list speaks for itself, outstanding. The wait staff was 10/10. After we asked for the bill, the waiter came with a chocolate desert, on the house, and it said Happy Anniversary written in chocolate. Amazing desert, amazing service!Special Features:
- Great food/service. Terrible table!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014As there were bigger groups on the main and second floor areas, we were given an unconfortable, isolated set-up a table close to the bar, in the middle of nowhere, with waitresses passing with other peoples orders! Not for a $500.00 dolllars bill!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We were delighted, amazed and truely grateful to find an establishment that still believed that exemplary service when combined with outstanding quality of food that is prepared EXACTLY as requested is still the best way to go. Their wine list is extraordinary and to our surprise is not just for show. They actually have available the wine you choose. The food, from starters thru dessert was simply devine. Cooked to perfection and presented with elegance and flair!! Prices are high but most definitely worth it. WE WILL BE BACK ....... OFTEN !!!!!Special Features:
- Great service!Patty1963Dined on 9/12/2014This was our third visit to Sterling, and it was like the first - consistently good food and service. The owner and staff take great pride in their fine aged meats, and enviable wine list. This really is the place for steak lovers. The accompaniments to the cuts of meat including the escargot are fabulous. The restaurant staff provide excellent service - you are wanting for nothing. Come here though to stay a while and savour. This is not McDonald's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemDiningoutDined on 9/6/2014Awesome service, food to die for, have only wonderful things to say about this restaurant.

- Superb!YummyDined on 8/13/2014Had dinner with friends at Sterling on Wednesday to celebrate a special occasion ...and it was outstanding in every regard. I had the Table d'hote and was thrilled with each course. Our waiter, Sebastien, was most attentive and as it was out first visit the owner gave us a tour of the different rooms (including 2 wine cellers) and explained the special attention they give to their steaks from selecting the best quality beef, butchering and aging on-site, and cooking to perfection over a wood burning grill to give that maple-smoked flavour. I can't wait to go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ExcellentjojojumpingDined on 7/30/2014Excellent but a little pricey and we killed five fruit flies during the 75 minutes. We had to get a glass of wine replaced because a fruit fly was in it. The glass of wine that was replaced was of lower quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great mealSunsequiturDined on 7/26/2014We were there for a birthday dinner. The food, the service everything was just lovely. The soup was the only thing we didn't really care for. It was non descript and we have no idea what it was. We didn't ask, so that was partly our fault (as it was only listed as "soup of the day") but everything else was announced as it was presented and placed before us. The wine selection is beautiful!Special Features:

- DisappointingDisappointingDined on 7/9/2014My wife and I dined at Sterling for our anniversary dinner. Despite the restaurant not being busy we were seated on the low level beside a very noisy table. We were expecting a view of the Gatineau river but we could mostly see the road which is under heavy construction. Both of our steaks were absolutely fantastic but the rest of the meal was quite sub par, especially for the price. The maître D took us for a tour after dinner was over which was nice and interesting but not enough to cover the disappointment of a mediocre (at best) dinnerSpecial Features:

Thank you for making this such a special evening! Jim and BethSpecial Features:

No Escape From Diesel Exhaust: How to Reduce Commuter ExposurePublished: February 2007
File Size: 1,966 KB
Every day, Americans are needlessly sickened from exposure to air pollution in the form of fine particles. Overall, health researchers estimate that fine particles, such as those found in diesel exhaust, shorten the lives of 70,000 Americans each year. Many more suffer the effects of particle-related respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
When during our day are we exposed to these particles? According to the California Air Resources Board, although we spend only about six percent of our day commuting to and from work, it is during that time when we receive over half of our exposure to utlrafine particles.
For the most part, the particles we breathe come from the diesel engines we encounter while driving or taking diesel-powered mass transit. According to the Transportation Research Board, one hundred and fifty million people.roughly half the population.travel to and from work in the U.S. daily. Most commuters drive, but many others take diesel-powered trains or city buses and ferries. Today's average commute lasts 25 minutes each way, and current trends indicate that our commutes, and therefore our exposures, are lengthening.
Legions of published, peer-reviewed studies have documented the increased exposure and resultant health risk from particles in and around nearby roadways. Using comparable instruments and research techniques as those employed by health researchers at major universities, Clean Air Task Force (CATF) investigated the exposure to diesel particles during typical commutes in four cities: Austin, Texas, Boston, Massachusetts, New York City, and Columbus, Ohio. In addition, CATF tested the air quality benefits due to emission control retrofits of transit buses in Boston and transit buses and garbage trucks in New York City.
CATF's investigation demonstrated that whether you commute by car, bus, ferry, train, or on foot, you may be exposed to high levels of diesel particles. Specifically, CATF documented diesel particle levels four to eight times higher inside commuter cars, buses, and trains than in the ambient outdoor air in those cities. In some cases, the ultrafine particle levels during the commutes were so high as to be comparable to driving with a smoker!
Several cities like Seattle, Boston and New York have purchased new cleaner transit buses and retrofitted many of their older buses and garbage trucks with effective emission controls. These emission controls are widely available today because U.S. EPA rules require them for new diesel engines starting this year. The only commutes where the researchers found little or no diesel exposure were commutes on electric-powered subways and commuter trains, on buses that have been retrofitted with diesel particulate filters or run on alternative fuels like compressed natural gas, and in cars traveling along routes with little or no truck traffic.

It's Still Summer in Miami
Not ready to say goodbye to summer? Linger in the warm sunshine on South Beach with this…View All Packages
Five Star Review: The service is excellent and the location is just perfect at the quieter end of Ocean Drive in the heart of South Beach.
Five Star Review: The Betsy is in a great location if you like to experience a little calm while you are in South Beach. The location is excellent, close enough to walk to the beach, shopping, or all of the restaurants yet it's in a nice quieter area. The hotel is beautifully appointed and the art display of Bob Bonis Beatles and Stones lost photographs throughout the hotel was very nice and a pleasant change from the usual hotel generic art.
Four Star Review: The Betsy is, in my opinion, one of the best combos out there. If you happen to get a good rate, (it is possible) do stay at this little jewel.
Five Star Review: I am a travel agent and I have to be honest that I do not typically submit reviews when I stay somewhere... However, my stay at the Betsey was absolutely Impeccable. Every single detail was perfect and I personally have never been treated so well by hotel staff before.
Great Hotel, great location, fabulous food, immaculate rooms, and the staff were awesome! Highly recommend this hotel! Loved the restaurant BLT, their food was absolutely wonderful! You must have one of their popovers!
I am so fond I this hotel! The hotel the service everything was just great! If you are planning on staying in South Beach stay at The Betsy! It is what you always expected but never get anywhere else.
If you are looking for a place to stay on South Beach with understated elegance and style, coupled with amazing service and standards; look no further than The Betsy. READ MORE.
This hotel is beautiful! Cannot wait to come back. Spent two nights here on a girls getaway and it was awesome. We we stayed in a double with an ocean view. Windows open so you fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Great location right across from Starbucks on north end of Ocean. Super clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Five Star Review: Un bellissimo albergo molto chic e piccolino. Posizione ottima, all'inizio di Ocean Drive a 10 minuti a piedi da Lincoln road. Le camere sono piccoline ma molto belle e curate, in più una chicca lo specchio in bagno ha il televisore! Consigliato!
Five Star Review: Semplicemente perfetto sono le parole che descrivono questo boutique hotel a Southampton Beach. Cominciamo dalla location sulla parte migliore di ocean drive abbastanza vicino al caos da raggiungerlo calzando tacco 13 ma sufficientemente defilato per dormire tranquilli la notte.
Five Star Review: Aside from the excellent facilities, it was the abiding professionalism and great friendliness of the Staff at The Betsy which was the greatest pleasure of staying at this signature hotel on South Beach.
Five Star Review: Stayed here for just the one night on the way down to The Keys, room was really spacious with great decor. We ate in the restaurant and the food was awesome, service amazing...we will be back for a longer stay next time!
Five Star Review: We went to South Beach with another couple to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and we stayed at the Betsy. We have been to South Beach many times and have always stayed at one of the larger hotels. Boy, i wish we could have a do over on all those previoius trips becuase staying at the Betsy was the best...
Five Star Review: The Betsy is beautiful and stands out from all of the other hotels on Ocean Drive. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Pool is small, but serves its purpose. Easy walk across the street to the beach or to shopping. Can't wait to return!
5 Star Review: We stayed at The Betsy just before returning home after our holiday. It appeared to be the best finale. Great service, easy atmosphere and beautiful roofterrace! Live music in the lobby. Highly recommended.
Five Star Review: With an unbeatable location, exceptional customer service and attention to detail like nowhere else I've stayed, this might be the BEST hotel on the beach. We had dinner at the restaurant and loved it. We also enjoyed a couples massage on the roof. Everything at the Betsy is done with such style and understated luxury- it's a breath of fresh air.
Five Star Review: Great location just across the road from the beach on Ocean Drive. Beautiful interior. Room was small but very comfortable and bright. Needs somewhere to hang wet bathing suits and towels in the bathroom, not much space for unpacking clothes. Pool area a little small and dark. Food excellent. Perfect outside restaurant to people watch without being bustled by the crowds. Service very good although at times it felt a little "tip-driven". Not cheap but highly recommended and preferable to the huge generic touristy hotels that abound the area.
Un hôtel charmant et chic. Très bien situé et avec une décoration superbe. Petite piscine mais ne surtout pas manquer la terrasse panoramique ! mon adresse préférée à Miami beach. Bon petit déjeuner et personnel sympathique .

FORT WAYNE – A split-level house on the city's north side sustained moderate fire damage in a small blaze Thursday afternoon.
Firefighters were sent to 7208 Cranberry Road about 4:45 p.m. after a neighbor called, according to a statement issued by the Fort Wayne Fire Department. Light smoke could be seen coming out of the attic area of the unoccupied house, so firefighters forced open a door to get inside.
A small fire was doused in an upstairs bedroom in the attic area, the fire department said. There was minor water and smoke damage.
