[caption id="attachment_258062″ align="alignleft" width="300″] Cllr Lois Rimmer, Veronica Hargreaves, Barry Boardman and Richard Jennison from the Campaign for Rural England[/caption]
A public meeting was held this evening at the Langho and Billington Community centre by a local group set up to campaign against the erection of wind turbines at Carr Hall Garden Centre near Langho.
The hall was overflowing with local residents who heard from several speakers including the chair of the meeting Cllr Lois Rimmer. The speakers outlined details of the proposal that have been submitted by the garden centre owner Andrew Donelan and reasons that can be used to object to the proposals. They included the impact on the environment, wildlife, businesses and residents.
The proposal includes three wind turbines that would be 46 metres high and there were mock ups of how the wind turbines were envisaged to impact on the local landscape.
All the speakers were met with resounding applause and every person who stood to speak from the audience were against the proposals for reasons ranging from impact on public rights of way to concerns about the impact on individuals health.
Organisers urged residents to write to Ribble Valley Borough Council to object to the plans and hoped that a petition could attract as many as 3000 signatures.
The campaign is supported by Nigel Evans MP, Lord Patel and the Campaign for Rural England.
The campaign speakers stressed that the proposal was not just a local matter as the proposed structures would be seen all over the Ribble Valley.

WASHINGTON - The District of Columbia's Emancipation Day parade went on as planned a day after two bombs exploded in Boston near the finish line of the city's marathon.
Tuesday is a holiday in Washington commemorating the day in 1862 that President Abraham Lincoln signed the D.C. Compensated Emancipation Act. The act ended slavery in the city.
Spectators at Tuesday's parade said they were aware of the Boston bombing but that it didn't stop them from attending the parade. A few noted the police presence that included officers on foot as well as vehicles with flashing lights.
Massachusetts resident Anthony Scibelli, a three-time Boston Marathon runner, was among the spectators. Scibelli said he felt it was important to attend the parade. His wife, Michelle Scibelli, said the Boston bombing was "a nightmare."

If you envision your children spending their days in a more school-like setting with a number of adults available and with kids their own age, then you may want to research child care centers in your area. These state-licensed facilities usually employ more caregivers and accommodate more children than the other options. Children are usually grouped by age. Some early-childhood centers are accredited by the state or by educational associations, and they offer a variety of infant and preschool curricula. The ratio of adults to children varies from center to center, as high as six children to one adult.
What you might like about this choice
- This is usually highly dependable care since there are multiple caregivers at a center and substitutes can be called in case of an absence.
- Centers provide more opportunities for building social skills and more stimulation for children who like lots of interaction in a structured environment.
- These facilities are inspected at least once a year for health and safety requirements.
- Research has shown improved cognitive and language skills in children placed in high-quality center-based child care.
- These facilities often have more equipment, toys and supplies and a more spacious play area than family care situations.
- Usually (but not always) caregivers at these facilities have received training in early childhood development.
- For some parents, the structured atmosphere and routine of these centers seem safer and more supervised than a more relaxed home environment.
- What looks like more social stimulation to some looks like more chaos to others.
- Some parents consider the institutional atmosphere a drawback.
- The care and the routine tend to be less flexible than in home-type environments.
- Good care centers with highly qualified staff tend to have long waiting lists - and they're expensive!
Words worth considering
"The climate lately has been towards more skills training as early as possible and so some centers have hyped academics as a way to attract parents. However, young children also need time to play, to explore their world, and to learn social skills. A good program will offer a balance between structured and unstructured activity and recognize children's developmental stage when teaching skills." - Susan Gardner, early childhood educator

I went with a party of six and we all enjoyed the show very much. The actors were very professional and very funny. We would all highly recommend this show to all.
Quotes & Highlights
"Hurtling along at the speed of light, (this) breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." —Guardian
"A nifty comedy about double adultery and gourmet cooking…." —_London Sunday Times _
Jacqueline decides to visit her mother for a few days, and her husband Bernard sees an opportunity for a cozy weekend with his new mistress. His bachelor pal Robert calls to announce his return from Hong Kong, so Bernard invites him along as his alibi, also hiring a Cordon Bleu-level cook to cater a delicious dinner. What could go wrong?
What if Robert turns up without knowing why he's been invited? And suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? Or how about the cook being mistake for the mistress, and the mistress who can't cook? Mix all of these ingredients, and one impossible situation leads to another in this breakneck farce.
Don't Dress for Dinner_, by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Robin Hawdon, is the next Main Stage Production presented by Las Vegas Little Theatre. This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production.
John Ivanoff, a favorite of local theatre-goers, appears as "Bernard", with another well-known actor, Barbara King, as "Jacqueline." Tony Blosser plays "Robert"; Sarah Spraker is "Suzanne"; the role of "Suzette" is being portrayed by Gillen Brey; and John C. Hughes is "George". This frenetic production is being directed by Jay Joseph.

It happened after school in the parent pick up line. The Scroggins Hoodlums were waiting on their grandmother for a special after school pick up, and before I knew it or stop it, my kindergartner had his pants down and relieved himself on the front lawn of the school.
Mortified does not even begin to describe the feeling that overtook me. I'm writing this one down and filing it away. Future middle school child of mind, just you wait. Just. You. Wait.

White Kitchens
You can't go wrong with white in the kitchen, so sit back and let these fabulous ideas and pictures inspire you to take your kitchen from drab to dazzling.
Big and Bright
In this Arizona home, linen-covered pendant lamps bring the kitchen's 17-foot ceilings down to a cozy scale. The owner bought the giant train-station clock on 1stdibs.com, then had the timepiece mounted to look as if it's casually propped above her Wolf range. White marble tops the custom cabinets and island. The walls are painted Exclusive Ivory and the trim Cottage White, both by Dunn-Edwards.
Bright idea: Fresher than cut flowers, a single evergreen branch suggests a larger tree.

Got this shirt from my girlfriend for christmas and I love it. It fits baggy which is great for me because I'm a bigger guy at 6'5 275. Most shirts I like come in slim fit, which works but kind of makes me look like a stuffed sausage. This shirt has the looks and the fit.

Bombshell Rocks
The debut album from one of Sweden╣s current punk rock combos recalls classic elements of 1970s punk, complete with gang vocals and catchy riffs. Street Art Gallery shows how modern melodic punk is meant to sound. Combining the early energy of Rancid, The Clash, and Stiff Little Fingers, Bombshell Rocks have created an album that stands up and screams that punk rock is alive, and healthy.

Skip to comments.Palestinian Ambassador to US Wants Jew-Free State
Posted on 09/14/2011 5:13:56 PM PDT by lbryce
After 44 years of military occupation, I think it will be in the best interests of the two peoples to be separated first, Areikat says.
The Palestinian Ambassador to the United States Maen Rashid Areikat said on Tuesday in Washington that the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)opposes the immediate presence of Jews and gays in an independent Palestinian state, according to reports in The Daily Caller and The Weekly Standard.
When asked by Jamie Weinstein, senior editor and columnist for The Daily Caller, whether a Jew could be elected Mayor of Ramallah in an independent Palestinian state, Areikat said: But after the experience of 44 years of military occupation and all the conflict and friction, I think it will be in the best interests of the two peoples to be separated first.
Areikat added that Well, I personally still believe that as a first step we need to be totally separated, and we can contemplate these issues in the future.
In an e-mail to The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, Weinstein wrote that, "Similar comments coming from an Israeli official would merit worldwide condemnation. But we hear nothing from the world community when the Palestinian ambassador to the US calls for a Jew-free state. Pushing for a state for the Palestinian Arabs is well and good, but it seems like the world should spend a little bit of time pondering what sort of state it will be."
(Excerpt) Read more at jpost.com ...
Jews and GAYS???? So when does code fairy head for Israel and protest???
Tell him to move to Saudi Arabia.
Like their leader for so many years was undoubtedly a rump ranger of the first rank ~ he ran that place like a party pad Fur Shur.
This current Palestinian leader is such a hypocrite eh!
Perfectly written!
There will never ever be peace with so called people like this. It does not make one evil to see evil in this world.
They don't. It's not about the Palestinians, it's about irrational mindless opposition to the Christian Right so it doesn't matter that the Palestinians will set up the state they accuse the Right of wanting to set up, just as long they "win" by destroying Israel.
Simply amazing. Judenfrei. It's like a freakin time warp.
Daniel 8:23-25 King James Version (KJV)
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 9:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate
Daniel 11:37-39 King James Version (KJV)
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Daniel 12:3-4 King James Version (KJV)
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Luke 21:24 King James Version (KJV)
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Since Cain/ABEL, Esau/JACOB, Ishmael/ISSAC >>>right down through today... it's in their DNA to hate the Jews/Israelites. Since the beginning. And unfortunately it will end terribly for the descendants of Cain. Blessed vs. not blessed. GOD even called this line, the men that act like wild donkeys... and I'm being kind.
How many millions of taxpayer dollers have we given these pukes ?
But wants the jews to keep sending money to feed, clothe, shelter, and buy arms. But other than those things, a jewless state.
Well, wouldn't separation imply an Arab-free Israel? What about the "right of return?" Can't have that and separation too, can you?
Of course, there is a consistent explanation. There is no goal except Israel pushed into the sea, and all Jews gone from the MidEast. Then, they can get down to the real business of inter-sect warfare.
The Nazi-Muslim connection is too real and documented to be denied any longer. "Mein Kampf" in Arabic is a perennial bestseller in the Arab World.
"O Hitler of blessed memory!" is a pali rallying cry.
They got the goosestepping and stiffarmed salute down, too.
Bloody savages!
The Jews already gave up some 80% of the Jewish National Homeland (the British Mandate for Palestine) to form an Arab State:
Jews driven from Eastern Palestine and from the Arab states should receive reparations, since a Jewish right of return would mean more ethnic cleansing.
And the state of Israel should be free of Mozlems. Ditto for the states of all of Europe bar Bosnia, Turkey and Albania. Ditto for India, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Filipines. Ditto especially for not only the US but all of the Americas (extending the Monroe doctrine) — all can be deported to Saudia

Tue, May 11, 2004
US Airways, which just
emerged from bankruptcy little more than a year ago, may be headed
back to federal court for a repeat performance. The company filed
notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission Friday, saying
it's trying to figure out how to cut costs by 25-percent, $1.5
billion a year.
"Failure to achieve the above-described competitive cost
structure will force the company to reexamine its strategic
options, including but not limited to asset sales or a judicial
restructuring," the company said in its filing, according to the
Washington Post.
The question, of course, is: How?
With the departure of
CEO David Siegel, who left the company under pressure from the very
unions he was asking to give up more wages and benefits,
negotiations resumed on Wednesday. But so far, only the airline's
pilots have agreed to even consider further concessions.
During seven months of bankruptcy protection, US Airways cut
$1.9 billion in annual costs -- mostly by getting union members to
agree on $1.2 billion in give-backs.
Fresh from losing $177 million in the first quarter of this
year, US Airways plans to once again go to the labor well, hoping
to draw even more concessions.
"US Airways is telling labor: Either agree to the concessions
now or agree to it later in bankruptcy," Helane Becker of the
Benchmark Company told the Post.
It's happened before. Continental went bankrupt twice. TWA
filed for protection three times before finally being purchased by
American Airlines. But Becker doesn't think the market is ripe for
a repeat court performance by US Airways. "It's another disaster,"
she said.
US Airways is also negotiating with its biggest creditor -- GE
Capital Aviation Services. That company had earlier agreed to lease
US Airways 170 regional jets. But, since the airline's credit
rating has dropped so low, GE can, by contract, pull out.
On top of that -- and
the government's insistence that US Airways repay the $900 million
in financing backed by the Air Transportation Stabilization Board
last year -- US Airways faces a new threat from rival Southwest
Airlines. Over the weekend, Southwest inaugurated its service to
and from Philadelphia (PA), a bastion of US Airways' strength in
the East.
The company's new CEO, Bruce Lakefield, appears to be digging
in, pleading with unions to support US Airways with just one more
round of concessions. "This is not going to be easy. It's going to
be very tough and there are those out there betting against us
hoping we will fail," he said. "I hate to lose. I'm here to

Frost has strewn a white veil
Over my hair.
It made me think I was already old
At which I greatly rejoiced.
Yet now it is already melting
And my hair is black again
So that I am terrified by my youth –
How far am I still from my grave!
Wilhelm Müller, The Old Man's Head, from Winterreise (1822)
A voice, a piano and crushing despair. Franz Schubert's Winterreise, with its twenty-four hypnotically melodic settings of haunting poems by Wilhelm Müller, lies like a black monolith at the heart of German cultural life. This profoundly introspective song cycle depicts the wanderings of a spurned lover in a landscape of snow and ice, eventually descending to metaphysical depths as the winter journey ends in the presence of an old organ grinder. The South African artist William Kentridge has created his own imaginary visual journey with videos incorporating his signature animations, montages and collages, forming a poetic counterpoint to the interpretation of this masterpiece by the pianist Markus Hinterhäuser and eminent Lieder singer, baritone Matthias Goerne.

In the AutoblogGreen Garage: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ and Hybrid
There was a time not so many years ago when the best-selling cars in the U.S. market were mid-sized models from General Motors. Cars like the Oldsmobile Cutlass and Chevrolet Malibu outsold everything else by very healthy margin. In the middle of the 1980s, that changed as the successive generations of Honda's Accord grew larger, Toyota introduced the Camry and Ford brought out the then-radical Taurus and Sable. Sales of mid-sized GM passengers went into a steady decline with the once top-selling Oldsmobile brand being euthanized completely and Malibu being dropped as a model name.
While 2008 has been an absolutely dismal year for automakers in the U.S. market, there have been a few bright spots. For those like me who have never been fans of SUVs and could never quite grasp why so many people had gravitated towards them, the resurgence of sales for smaller and mid-sized cars has been a pleasure to watch. The Chevy Malibu is back for a third iteration since its revival at the beginning of this decade. The first was so bland as to be invisible, while the second was not easy on the eyes. The latest version debuted in 2007 to almost universal acclaim for its bold styling. We recently tried out two different Malibus that are set up specifically for improved fuel economy. Check out our thoughts after the jump.
Photos Copyright ©2008 Sam Abuelsamid / Weblogs, Inc.
At its launch in the fall of 2007, GM offered two powertrain combinations in the Chevrolet Malibu, a 3.6L V6 with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 2.4L four cylinder with an aging 4-speed automatic. Over the next few months other variants were added including a cheaper 3.5L V6 with the 4-speed. The most interesting to us, however, was the hybrid and the four-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic. The Malibu Hybrid uses the same belt-alternator-starter (BAS) mild hybrid system used in the existing Saturn Vue and Astra. Essentially this adds a beefier alternator/motor and a nickel metal hydride battery pack in the trunk to recapture some kinetic energy during braking and release it to provide a power boost under acceleration.
The mild hybrid can't actually drive the car on electric power alone but it does allow the fuel to be shutoff during deceleration as well as automatically starting and stopping the engine when the car comes to a halt. Like the 2008 Vue hybrid we reviewed earlier, GM engineers have improved the control software of the mild hybrid system since the first implementation last year in the Aura and the old Vue. The hybrid has a standard brake system with ABS, traction control and stability control.
It can't however, blend the friction and regenerative braking capability. Instead, the regen is overlaid on top of friction braking, simply adding more decel due to the regen. As the vehicle comes to a stop, the regen braking is phased out leaving just friction braking. On earlier examples the end of regen was rather abrupt leaving the driver with the feeling of a loss of deceleration at around 5-6 mph. Current BAS hybrids have a much smoother transition that is almost imperceptible unless you really look for it.
All four-cylinder Malibus including the hybrid use the same 2.4L EcoTec four cylinder engine used in so many GM cars and it's a very pleasant engine. Compared to the bygone days of the 1980s when GM persisted in offering the old 2.5L Iron Duke (or Iron Puke as many people called it) the EcoTec is a modern, smooth running and reasonably efficient engine. Unfortunately, at launch it was only offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The LS and LT trim levels still offer only this combination. The more luxurious LTZ trim package is now available with the choice of in-line-4 or V6 power each with a 6-speed automatic. The 6-speed used with the four is a new smaller unit than the one paired with the V6.
For now, only the more expensive LTZ gets the 6-speed but GM is planning to expand availability to other models as they ramp up production of the new transmission. That means the 6-speed car comes pretty much loaded with all the goodies you can get in a Malibu. Both cars have the same sweeping design and layout inside including a two-tone color scheme. The LTZ also gets some bits of faux wood trim and leather covered seats and steering wheel. Our non-hybrid Malibu featured a Cocoa/Cashmere interior combination that looked and felt quite upscale. Almost everything is standard equipment at the LTZ level although no Malibus are available with an in-dash navigation system. Like other GM cars, they do come with one year of complimentary OnStar that lets you call from the car and get turn by turn directions downloaded that show up in the driver information center.
The hybrid makes do with fabric covering the seats rather than leather and the steering wheel is covered in a squishy rubbery material. It actually feels just fine the wheel and seats are the same as the LTZ aside from the cover materials. That means a reasonably thick rim that's easy to grip and supportive, comfortable seats that keep a grip on you. The rear seat are also comfortable and roomy for two although three would be a squeeze width wise. The hybrid gets a 16" wheel package while the LTZ gets a shiny 18" ten spoke setup that is very attractive.
The only exterior difference between the cars aside from the wheels is a bit more chrome trim on the LTZ and the surprisingly subdued hybrid badging. Given the enormous graphics that GM is putting on its hybrid trucks, the small hybrid badges below the side mirrors and on the trunk-lid come as a pleasant surprise. The rest of the exterior is the same handsome look with great proportions and nice detailing. The bold Chevrolet dual port grille works well on a car this size, much more so than on the updated Aveo. Touches like the chamfer at the trailing edge of the car around the tail-lights and the strong C-pillar highlight the thought that went into the Malibu.
Since the two cars share the same engine they don't feel radically different in performance. The biggest difference is the new 6-speed transmission. Compared to the 4-speed of the larger unit used in combination with the 3.6L V6, this one is worlds better. Shift quality is vastly improved compared to the others and gear changes are now virtually transparent. Hopefully GM will add the 6-speed to the hybrid soon. While the mild hybrid system doesn't operate in electric-only mode, the trunk-mounted battery does provide some extra assist to the engine. The advantage is that when some acceleration is needed, the engine doesn't have to work as hard. The other big difference is the stop-start capability. Unless the air-conditioning is on max cooling, the engine shuts off whenever the car comes to a halt and automatically re-starts when the brake pedal is released. Like the Vue hybrid we tried a few months ago, the re-starts were smooth and unobtrusive, quite unlike some earlier strong hybrid system we tried that tended to shudder during re-starts.
Functionally there is one other downside to the Malibu hybrid. While the compact nickel metal hydride battery pack doesn't consume as much space as some hybrid batteries, it sits right behind the fold-down rear seats. That means it consumes half of the opening so if you want to carry long items in the Malibu they need to be fairly slim. Your typical IKEA boxes should be fine as long as you don't have too many that need to be stacked up.
Last December I reviewed a non-hybrid Malibu LT with the 2.4L 4-speed combination for Autoblog. At that time the driving was almost all around town and the weather was cold which resulted in about 21 mpg. This time around we got a mix of highway and city driving on both cars and the results were much improved. The non-hybrid LTZ managed a decent 26 mpg average during our week with the car. On the EPA cycles the 6-speed gets the same 22 mpg as the 4 we tested earlier but picks up 2 mpg on the highway cycle bringing it to 32. The 2008 Malibu hybrid we drove has the same 32 mpg highway rating as the 6-speed but picks up an additional 2 mpg in the city for a total of 24 mpg.
The Malibu hybrid really set itself apart from the previous GM mild hybrids we've tried. The Aura hybrid we drove in spring 2007 got 26 mpg, while the Vue hybrid we tested earlier this year managed 24.5 mpg. This Malibu - which had the same drivetrain hardware, although it surely had some control software upgrades - got 29 miles out of each gallon of gas overall and managed almost 34 mpg on a highway trip from northern Michigan back to Ann Arbor. That's pretty decent for an attractive roomy sedan with plenty of space and a price of $24,290
For 2009, the Malibu hybrid gets new lower rolling resistance tires and 17" wheels along with further upgrades to the battery management system. The result is another 2 mpg on both the city and highway numbers bringing it up to 26 city/34 mpg highway. Based on our results with an '08 model, the Malibu hybrid for '09 could be approaching the mileage of competitors like the Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry hybrids which still cost at least $2,000-3,000 more, comparably equipped. Unfortunately, it also gets a $1,000 price increase. The 2008 LTZ we drove comes to $27,090 for the high-zoot package. For 2009 the 6-speed will be available on the mid-level 1LT and 2LT trims as well, making it more affordable.

The natural regions in Iceland are still so untouched in comparison to many of the great areas of the world. Though they have all of the modern conveniences of life and plenty of great architecture– there seems to be a few that would alter the way the electricity in the country is carried. In order to add to the beauty of the already flawless landscape, Choi + Shine Architects came up with a creative idea.
Making electrical towers and lines beautiful isn't ordinarily deemed as something that can be fixed through design, but Choi + Shine proved that it is indeed possible. Though the competition's main objective was to create a new aesthetic for the towers, there was an additional hope for less stress on the environment and a lower carbon footprint. Certainly an amazing execution in revising the standard towers we see today.

WIMBLEDON, England—Serena Williams and Andy Murray both retained the No. Chris Kuper Jersey . 4 spot in this weeks rankings after they won gold medals at the Olympics. Victoria Azarenka and Roger Federer kept the No. 1 spot in the rankings released Monday. Azarenka lost to Williams in the Olympics semifinals and settled for a bronze medal, while Federer lost to Murray in the mens final Sunday. The mens top seven remained the same, with Novak Djokovic second and Rafael Nadal third. Olympic bronze medallist Juan Martin del Potro moved up one spot to eighth. Maria Sharapova, who lost in the final to Williams, rose to second from third, swapping spots with Agnieszka Radwanska. Peyton Manning Authentic Jersey . The 28-year-old suffered the setback on November 10 in a game against the Winnipeg Jets, but the team said that he will not need surgery. Upshall had totaled just one goal and three points in 15 games this season, after Florida signed him to a four-year deal worth a reported $14 million. Ty Warren Jersey . He has hired Kez McCorvey as receivers coach and Cory Stone as defensive line coach. Milanovich also moved Jason Maas from receivers coach to quarterbacks coach. http://www.nfldenverbroncosstore.com/peyton-manning-jersey . —While Golden State Warriors fans are clearly still irked that he was traded away, Monta Ellis is enjoying the Milwaukee Bucks. Ryan Clady Jersey .C. – Alex Kerfoot scored a goal and added an assist as Canada West beat Canada East 4-2 in the final of the World Junior A Challenge on Sunday. Brian Dawkins Jersey .C. Lions are one step closer to reaching the top of the mountain. KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Chris Sale was short of his All-Star best. He was still good enough to win his eight straight decision. Adam Dunn homered in his third straight game and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 Sunday. Sale (11-2) is 8-0 with two no-decisions since a May 12 loss to the Royals. He allowed one run and scattered a season-high 10 hits eight innings to lower his earned run average to 2.11, which ranks second on the American League. He struck out four and walked none. "Obviously, a lot of hits," Sale said. "You just try to brush that off and keep going about what you need to do and have that mindset and go out and still make pitches." Sale, who is from Florida, liked the 94 degree temperature for the first pitch. "Ive always said I like pitching in warm weather way better than cold. Its definitely nice to have some heat out there today." Sale threw 115 pitches, but manager Robin Ventura had no qualms about sending him out for the eighth inning. "It was his game," Ventura said. "He finds a way to get himself into trouble and out of trouble, too." Dunn, who leads the league with 28 home runs, drilled a 2-0 pitch from Luis Mendoza (3-6) just inside the right-field pole in the first inning. Dunn has 65 hits overall this season, meaning 43 per cent of them have been home runs. "On 2-0, I was geared up for a fastball and it was a changeup," Dunn said. "I just caught it out in front. I dont hit many of those line drive home runs. I could have easily hooked it foul. That was obviously a positive thing. Thats what weve been working on all spring to stay inside of it." Addison Reed, who blew a save Friday, worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunities. The White Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the second when Alex Rios singled, A.J. Pierzynski was hit by a pitch and Dayan Viciedo hit an infield single. They converted that into just one run when Rios scored as Alexei Ramirez grounded innto a double play. Champ Bailey Youth Jersey. Mendoza threw but seven pitches to five batters that inning. Mendoza allowed just one hit after the second inning, but took the loss. He gave up two runs on four hits in 7 1-3 innings, while striking out six and walking four. The Royals avoided a shutout when Mike Moustakas, who led off the fifth with a single and advanced to second on a Sale wild pitch, scored on a Chris Getz single. Getz moved to third on Alex Gordons single, but was stranded when Alcides Escobar struck out and Butler grounded out. The Royals went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position against Sale. "We knew who we had to face today and he was as good as advertised," Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. "He has his fastball in the 86 to 95 range and a change of pace and the slurve. His speed is all over the place. With him its hard to get that gapper. Youve got to be patient. You cant be trying to kill if or hell get you with that off-speed every time." The AL Central leading White Sox are 7-2 in their past nine games. The Royals lost for the 10th time in 13 games. NOTES: 1B Eric Hosmer, who is hitless in his past 11 at-bats to drop his average to .224, was not in the Royals lineup Sunday. ... Royals C Manny Pina, who had knee surgery in spring training, was reinstated from the disabled list and optioned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. RHP Felipe Paulino, who had season-ending elbow surgery, was transferred from the 15-day DL to the 60-day. ... Dunn has homered in three straight games for the second time this season. The first was June 9-12. ... White Sox 1B Paul Konerko is hitting .228 since May 28. He had a .399 average before then. ... LHP Jonathan Sanchez, who has not won since April 8, will be the Royals starter Monday for the series opener against Seattle. The Mariners will counter with LHP Jason Vargas. ... The White Sox travel to Boston, which will be a homecoming for 3B Kevin Youkilis. The Red Sox dealt him on June 24 to Chicago. ' ' '

It's easy to just include the tree into the building rather than chop it down. Prince Frederick and Anusha Parthasarathy tell you how
From being axed to being in your sitting room, trees have come a long way indeed. Of course, not as far as we would like to see, but what a promising beginning! We went around the city and picked three places where people have chosen not to cut down the lovely trees on their land to make way for the brick and mortar, but have simply built around the trees.
The interiors at Kuttanad, a restaurant that serves classic Kerala thalis on M.G. Road in Besant Nagar, are minimalist. The only thing that clamours for attention is an old mango tree standing smack in the middle. "A love for trees and aesthetics keeps the tree standing where it does," says the publicity-shy restaurateur who does not want to be named. "The owner of this space had given the 'go ahead' for axing it but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It takes years to grow a tree to this size. "
Crimson Chakra in Adyar is built around two old mango trees that defined the property for decades. One grows through the roof near the kitchen, and the other complements the aapam counter. "It doesn't provide just shade," says owner Nikhil Moturi, "but also truckloads of mangoes. They go into our pickles."
Sumitra Vasudevan and Anuradha Naresh Rao of APRObuild could not bear to lose their favourite plumeria, so when their office moved up a level, so did the tree. Lovingly uprooted and transplanted, the tree now grows tall from the first floor. "We wanted to make sure nothing happened to it. So we took it where we went," smiles Sumitra.
Think green
Each of these projects posed unique challenges, forcing their authors to think out of the box, or rather out of the roof. At Kuttanad, the tree could not be contained within the low-roof restaurant. Two holes were drilled into the powder-coated aluminium roof, which now let the wide trunk and a large branch shoot out into the sky. This obviously left the roof wide open to rainwater and battalions of insects. These problems were plugged in a simple but effective manner. "In the rubber plantations of North Kerala, workers install shields over the indents in the trees to prevent rainwater from mixing with the oozing rubber sap. I borrowed the idea," says the restaurateur. "The shields firmly shut the door on water seepages and creepy-crawlies. But ants have a way of breaking through barriers. To keep them at bay, the lower half of the tree, which is inside the restaurant, is cleaned regularly." For a video on the tree in Kuttanad Restaurant, click here.
Nikhil was faced with the challenge of working on spaces clearly demarcated so as not to hamper the trees' growth. "I refuse to cut down any trees," he says, and joins a growing number of city dwellers who are appalled at the loss of green cover and are looking for ways to get nature back. "Most restaurants plan their spaces in great detail but ours was designed around the trees so that they can continue to grow. They blend into our interiors and most of our customers don't even realise they're there."
At APRObuild, it was a choice between more space and more greenery, and guess what they picked. "We have a mango tree and a couple of coconut palms that we've saved as well. When we constructed our office in 2008, we consciously chose to keep all the trees." It took some doing. When the plumeria was transplanted, they had to ensure that the slabs were water-proof, that there were holes in the rings to allow drainage of excess water, that the building itself could handle the weight of the tree and allow it space to grow. "It had to be planned so that the tree would not affect the structure," says Sumitra. The results are certainly worth the trouble. Together with the large windows, the trees blow in a steady breeze. "Our rooms don't need an air-conditioner even on the hottest days. The birdsong is a bonus," says Anuradha.
To Nikhil, the mango trees in his restaurant lend life and colour to the interiors. "It's a lot cooler, there's more breeze and, since the trees are really big, they provide a lot of shade. The trees, on the whole, provide a calm ambience," he says. Equally, the restaurateur at Kuttanad is glad he retained the mango tree. "People love to organise parties around the tree. Children like to sit on its arms."
Three model buildings that convey an unmistakable message – there is nothing like a tree to spread cheer and a sense of community.
