Whoa. Tonight was crazy. 5o4plan show. Wow. That shit was off da hook. 'Fo sheezy. Alright. Listen up, cats. I am typin' here with a broken rib type deal.5o4plan rocks the house.Woke up. Sat. Got ready. Drove. Sang. Talked. Rocked.Amanda and I got out of the car. I was going crazy. I was gonna see my Plan Boys. Eff yes, right? We go in, I go to pay, and I didn't even see Mikey. He said Hi and I was like thinking "Oh... Do me, babay!" So, I walked over behind there, and Mikey stretched out him arms, and I hugged him. Meggy and Lauren got there the same time as us. So yeah, we were all hanging out. Blah. The Local Scene played first. Then Threefold, and then The Snake. The Cross. The crown, Divide by Zero, and then my boys. 5o4plan. It was all pretty dull. They were good, though. So yes, The Snakeys were good. We all went outside and to get out and in, we had to kiss this guy on the cheek. He was sorta cute. But anyways. Amanda didn't kiss him and I was like "Oh, she is a lesbian!" But yes.. Divide by Zero was amazing as always. I got pushed and I almost hit my face on Tj's guitar. I was like waah! So then yeah, we all moved to the front for the plan boys. Mikey was setting up and I asked him some questions. He was like rawr. God fucking shit fuck mother man! I love Mikey. Everytime I see him, or think about him, or look at his picture, I get all goofy inside. I could have a crush on him. He is so yummy. I just want him. Haha. Just pullin' your pee pee. No, but I do kinda want him. But nope. Never. Good thing. So blah. 5o4plan played. Mikey said it was real cool to dance and everything. But just don't kick him or the mic. So I was like hmm… Roger that, hott stuff! So, they started playing. People were going insane. People kept pushing me. And I was like fighting people off because people were almost hitting Mikey. And I didn't want my little boy getting hurt. Lol. Just kidding about my little boy. But I didn't wanna see him get hurt. So I kept like fighting people off, and pushing people back. And like fighting them to get the fuck away from Mikey. So yes. Some guy came up to be Mikey's body guard type deal. He was real cool at first. But then he just turned into a jag. Okay, when I talk about this guy, his alias name is Dick. So, I was like holding on to Dick because I was flying everywhere. This show was fucking insane. Anyways, he kept like elbowing me and shit. And I was like alright… It's not on purpose… But then he was doing it on purpose. I was like no way, man! I yelled at him, and he was like… ugh..Me: Settle the fuck down… You keep fucking elbowing me you fuckin' fag!Dick: Aw… Boo hoo… Poor baby…Me: Oh yeah! You're real fuckin' cool! YOU'RE FUCKIN' ACTIN' ALL BIG AND BAD AND SHIT! YOU'RE TRYIN' TO PUSH PEOPLE THE FUCK OFF MIKEY, BUT NO ONE IS EVEN THERE AND YOU KEEP FUCKIN' PUSHIN' MIKEY'S FUCKIN' MIC INTO HIS FUCKIN' FACE!!Dick: Oh yeah… *acts like he is jackin his pee pee* I love when you talk dirty to me…Me: Oh… How cool… Stop touchin' me…I look down and the video taper for 5o4plan got that whole thing on tape for their dvd. I don't know if it is going to be on there... I hope so. So, I turn around and he says "Twice as hard next time" I was like Oh Please. So blah. Alright. So. He ran into me again, and I punched him in the face. And he just looked at me and I laughed. He was like "Oh yeah? Do it again! Do it again! Come on!" And he patted his face. I raised my eyebrows and pulled my arm back and fucking went crazy. I punched him in the face about 5 times. He backed up, but I kept punching. I would have kept going but Amanda pulled me off the fucker. I was getting so mad. I had to plug in Mikey's guitar back in one time, and I thought he was going to fucking step on my neck because when I bent down, he looked right at me and his foot moved. I seriously thought I was taking my last breaths. Oh yeah, and he elbowed me in the lungs, and then did it in the same spot except on my back. I blacked out, and stopped breathing. I started coughing really bad. I couldn't breathe. I kinda forgot where I was for a second. Then I heard Mikey, and Jon's cute little "Whoa's" I jumped him and started screaming again. I remember Lauren, Megan, Julie and Amanda holding me up. It was scary. So yes. Tonight was fucking insane, dude. Nick broke his drum sticks, and I got the head of one and the body of another… that, or they are madd long sticks. Oh yes, back to DICK. He kept pushing Mikey's mic into Mikey's lips. Mikey's poor little, sweet, cute lips. Getting all fucked up from that fucker. I knew his lips were hurtin'. No one would even touch Dick and he would just go flying like a bat into Mikey's mic. I was like oh you fucker! Mikey moved back. I felt so bad. Amanda and I were both thinkin' like, ouch. Mikey like couldn't play. He had to keep his hand on his mic half the time. I would hold onto it when I was steady. But that wasn't often. Amanda was getting her hair ripped out maddstyle. Tommy is cute. I want him. Nick is hott. I want him. Mikey is fucking sexay as a mother fucker. I really fucking want him. And Jon has such a boyish cuteness about him.. It makes you want to sex him up. There was this girl crowd surfing. I didn't want to touch her. She looked dirty. She smelled like tuna. I know it. Oh yeah, there was these guys tryin' to break dance. It was funny. Anyways, Dick pissed me off. I have a broken rib. It hurts a lot right now. I can't sit up straight. Lots of pressure. Ouch. Amanda... I want Amanda to nurse it. MMM... Hmm… I am talking to Jon. The bassist right now. He is cute. I want to talk to Mikey man. But yes. Oh yes. There was this girl there and she kept looking at Amanda, Lauren, Meggy and I. She was really pretty. I think she wanted us. No. I know she wanted us. Nick's girlfriend Stephanie is fuckin' hot. If I was older, and didn't have Amanda in my life, I would totally go for Stephanie. Even if she is straight. Or had Nick. Nick is too cute, man. I want him. Blah. Anyways, hmm… the plan played good. I loved it. I really did. I loved seeing Jon enjoying himself. He was singing and I was like "Yeah…. Jon!" And Lauren, Meggy and I started clapping. MMM. Oh yes, Sam from Midwest Blue was there. He was looking sexy like always. Hmm.. Jon high fived me. I liked that. I finally know who Julie is. She was the fucking annoying girl at the Metro show. Sorry, Mikey. But she made me mad. She is fucking annoying. But she is a cutie. Kinda. But yes, Nick and Jon's girlfriends are hott. I would do them both. Hmm… I know I am missing stuff… Oh yes, my lady friend Beth was suppose to be there. Her and I talk online. She is a real cutie. I wanted to see her lots. Dance party. Humping. MMM. No show. *Bummed* Oh yeah, Amanda and I were wetting a lot. Like… a lot. It was like a freakin shower head downtown for us. I saw Mikey, and I get wet. I was like "Oh Fuck!". Amanda danced a lot more this show. I liked it. She is great. Meggy and I danced. Lauren and I danced. Some guy I don't even know danced with me. I was like Oh yeah. I know I am forgetting stuff. Oh yes! There is this kind of large guy who takes pictures, and he is real cool. We saw him at the Metro, and we called him the ladies man! And we saw him tonight and called him that and he remembered us! I was like Oh yay! If you're between 18 and 25… I love you.If you're not between 18 and 25, I don't love you.Jon is an exception. So is my friends.Party hard.I love Mikey.I love Nick.I love Tommy.I love Jon.That's not in order after Mikey.*smile*Oh yes, I got my arm split open on a wall. MMM.Leave a comment and tell me how jealous you are.Leave a comment if you're from the plan.You're so beautiful it hurts to look at you…| .. xoxo .. |

I want to see him again.My mom and I got into a huge fight today. About everything and anything. It started when she said something to Amanda that shouldn't have been said. Very disrespectful. She had no right to say it. I went off on her. Grr. Forget it, man. I can't even talk about it. I am in love with the new 5o4plan cd. I want to go see my boys play again so bad. They're so amazing. I love looking at Mikey when he is singing and playing. It's just like.. whoa. So intense. So amazing. So beautiful. He gets so into it. It's like, when you look at him, you're stuck in a zone. I look at Nick, and he is going crazy on the drums. MMM! My boys give me such a rush. I get to spend another night with Amanda. I am excited. I want to see Julie, too. I don't know why. But I want to see Julie. Call me crazy, man! I am just crazy, I guess. I guess I just love her because she fixed Amanda and I. Hugs and Kisses to Julie and Vicki.Taj and I are doing bad. It makes me sad. It's like.. hmm. I don't know. I can't explain it. But it sucks. Why can't I ever just be happy? I hate it. My plan boys make me happy. Amanda makes me happy. Taj makes me happy.

Wow. You know, I shouldn't be loved. Not at all. Not one bit. There is nothing to love.. Honestly. Amanda was over last night, and this morning, her and I were talking about how we are hungry. I said I didn't need to eat because I am too fat as it is. She was like, god, I know fatty. And I just moaned. And she said come on, fatty... Let's go get food. I just rolled over. I closed me eyes and saw myself inside my head. The site of myself made me cry. Amanda was joking but.. why do people love me? Why is it that people say nice things about me? I just started crying. I couldn't believe how fat I am. And how ugly. I layed there. Silently crying. I wanted to fucking die. How could someone so beautiful, and perfect like Amanda be so in love with me? How can she think I am amazing. Why does she think so highly of me? How can someone like Taj think I am so cute? At that moment, I forgot what everyone had said. I stopped beliving they meant it when they said nice things to me. I am completely disgusted with myself. I got up to go to the bathroom. Amanda asked the three times what I was doing. I just ignored her. I set out to the bathroom to cut. Yes, break my promises to all you selfish fuckers, and cut. I looked at myself. I thought, "Why does Amanda like everything about me and my body? How can she think I am so beautiful..?"I didn't get it. I looked into the mirror. The site of myself... I wanted to puke. I looked down at my tummy. Ew. My legs. Ew. I looked at my face. My lips. I want them perfect. I looked at my nose. I want a cute nose. I leaned into the mirror. I tried to look at my eyes through my tears. I couldn't stand it any longer. I couldn't stand looking into that mirror and seeing the ugly person that I am.I hit the mirror. I cut. Yes, I broke my promises because I suck at life. And I am weak. I wanted to cut every inch of myself that I hate. I couldn't do that do. I would be a walking, bleeding, wound. My whole body would be covered in cuts, and gashes. I would be covered in endless blood. I grabbed a huge saftey pin from my cabniet in the bathroom. Yes, a saftey pin. Pussy tool. Cuts nicely. I cut. I fell to the floor. I put my head back aganist the wall. I looked up at the ceiling praying to god to change me. Then, I said "You know, God.. Fuck you.. I hate you.. Can't you see my life is shit? I hate myself. I am in pain.. but what do you do about it? Nothing. You're suppose to save me.." I felt horrible saying I hated god. But I did at the time. I really did. I leaned my head back aganist the wall. I cried. I raised my head and looked forward. What do I see? Razors. I wanted to take the blade out of that shaving razor, and just slice myself up. I wanted to make gashes in my wrist. I wanted to die. I didn't do it. I couldn't. I couldn't cut like that. I cut three times. I stood up, wiped my tears. I made my fingers out to be a gun, and put it to my head. "Bang", I said. I looked down.. and whispered "I wish.."I hate myself.I came into my room. Changed my shirt. I couldn't stand to be in it. I wanted something where you couldn't see my skin. I walked over to my bed. I moved Amanda's bangs. I kissed her on the forehead and said goodnight. She asked me what I was doing. And I said nothing. I layed there, in my bed; crying. I am looking at her sleep while I type this. All I can think is perfect. She is perfect. She is the perfect girl. I am now thinking about Taj. How can he love me? Someone like Taj loving me.. It's like wow. I don't get it. I believe that he loves me. But then, does he really? How could he? I am nothing special. Nothing special at all. I looked to my wall. My plan wall. I broke my promise to my plan boys. I wonder what they would think if I told them I cut agian. Well, Jon and Tommy don't really know. But Nick and Mikey are stationed in my life. Mikey has always been there. What would he say if he knew? Why does he waste his time listening to me? Does he really care? Why does Nick listen to me. Does Nick really care? Maybe they care because they are scared of death. I'm not. I just looked at my desk. I have scissors. I have a hammer. Should I slice myself up with the scissors? Or should I smash my head in with a hammer? Why am I still living? *cries*I just want to be loved.. And know it's love. I want to be pretty. I want to stand out. I am pathetic.This may very well be my last post.Comment?Anyone who reads this post.Please comment.Tell me I am going to be okay. Tell me everything is going to be okay..
Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes *Who is the perfect Emo Singer boyfriend for You?* brought to you by QuizillaWow. That's awesome considering I love Conor and Bright eyes.Yummay.I would do anything to fuck him.Everyone like my new icon?It fuckin rocks, I know.My new Plan Fan Friend named Sam made it for me.She rocks, as you can see.xoxoxo.The icon made me miss my plan boys.I miss Nick.Way too much.I suck at life.Save me, please.
I really am starting to suck ass that this whole online journal thing. Nothing has been going on. I spent the whole weekend with Amanda. Friday was good. Saturday sucked. Then it was okat. Sunday was an okay night, too, I guess. Amanda slept over here last night. It was good. Then great. Then okay. Then bad. Then fucking amazing. Then sleep time. We woke up today. blah. Her and I are going to the movies tonight. Then she is sleeping over. Maybe not. I don't know. Taj and I do need some alone time but I love being with Amanda. Taj and I will have some alone time, though, no doubt. Him and I had lots last night. While Amanda was PRETENDING to be asleep. Rawr. That upset me. But whatever. I still love the lady. Anyways, blah. Meggy and I weren't friends. We are now. I miss my plan boys. I need them. I need Nick. But most of all, I need Mikey. He is one of my best friends, man. I fuckin' miss him. Rawr. I fucking miss everyone, man. I even miss Amanda. I suck at life. Kill me quick.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/SUBMITTED) -- It came down to the final two courts as Ohio State narrowly beat the University of Tennessee women's tennis team 4-3 Friday night.
The victory for Ohio State (4-4) was just the second in the 18 match series history with the Lady Vols (3-4), the first since 1986 and Tennessee's first loss in six tries in Columbus.
Tennessee battled to the end but fell in the doubles point dropping an 8-3 decision at No. 1 doubles followed by an 8-4 match at No. 3 doubles.
The Buckeyes added to their lead as Miho Kowase defeated Joanna Henderson 6-4, 6-4 at No. 2 singles. But UT cut into the lead with a tough 7-6, 6-3 victory on court five for freshman Brittany Lindl who fought her way to the first set victory and cruised to the win.
Ohio State regained the two point lead when Sandy Niehaus earned a comeback 5-7, 6-4, 6-0 win over Victoria Olivarez at No. 4 singles. But another three-set comeback win, this time in the Vols favor brought the match back to a single point.
Tiffany Tavares fell in the first set 6-3, but rallied back to finish with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 win over Noelle Malley on court six.
Ohio State sealed the victory on court three as Ferny Angeles Paz beat Laurence Guevremont 6-3, 7-5, Guevremont's first loss of the spring season.
No. 63 Eve Repic finished the match out against No. 79 Gabriella De Santis with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win, her fourth win over a ranked opponent this year.
The Lady Vols will return to action on Sunday, February 23 when they face No. 37 Indiana in Bloomington at 11 a.m.

[UPDATES: Check out our ereader comparison for links to more resources, and summaries ofall major available ereaders.
Full review of the PRS-700 here. Also, you should know that if you buy a Sony Reader and get a lemon, you're in for a headache. There are pictures of the 700′s screen vs. the 505′s screen at MobileRead; it's a dramatic difference. I currently read on a 505 and I've been quite happy with it. Plus the screen hasn't broken (probably helped by not being a touchscreen). The 505 is also the cheapest quality ereader for $270 on Amazon. [REUPDATE: The PRS-300 is now available for even less than the 505. There are also a few other options out there for around $200. Check our ereader comparison for quick summaries of the available ereaders out there.]
Despite the "advancements" made in Kindle 2, it's essentially the same device. In retrospect, I wouldn't buy another PRS-700, but I would absolutely recommend a PRS-505.
For potential Kindle customers: think twice before buying one, unless you read newspapers and magazines almost exclusively. Original article continues from here.]
I was in the market for an ereader for about a month. At first I was seduced by the Kindle's wireless everywhere feature, and the fact that the Kindle store on Amazon has more ebooks than anywhere else, and almost always the cheapest books, too.
After a few weeks of research, though, I chose the Reader, the PRS-700. I've had it for about a
week now, and I haven't looked back. I'm not going to get too exhaustively into the features of both readers in this post, you can find such things here, and here, and here. And I'll be doing a complete review of my experience with the Reader in a future post.
So here I'm focusing on the criteria I used to decide on the Reader, including the best feature of all, which Sony seems determined to hide.
Availability– Advantage: Reader
It's no secret that the Kindle's been sold out for weeks, and that this isn't the only time they've sold out. I don't know how they've screwed up production so badly, and so repeatedly, but there's nothing that tells me they'll figure it out when Kindle 2.0 comes out.
When I decided I wanted a Sony Reader, I was able to walk into a brick and mortar store, check out the much-disparaged screen that was my last reservation, and, more importantly, buy one from a big stack they had already produced, and walk home with it that day. I have no problem waiting a few days for shipping, but waiting two months for what appears to be just a production charlie-foxtrot… I don't think so.
Content management– Advantage: Reader
The PRS-700′s touchscreen puts its content management far ahead of the Kindle. You don't have the big page turn buttons people complain about. You don't have to match up side buttons to options like you're at an ATM. And you don't have a big physical keyboard taking up space, but you can still search, bookmark, and everything else.
Touchscreen page turning is also a great feature, and you can fast-scroll through pages, (watch this video for a demo, start at about 1:20 for fast page turn).
More on these features in my full review of the Reader, for now, suffice to say: once you have books on your Reader, you can work with them more easily and dynamically than with physical buttons and a keyboard.
Price– Edge: Kindle
The Kindle is $40 cheaper than the PRS-700, and $60 more than the PRS-505 without the touchscreen, which I wouldn't use because you can't search inside books. If the Kindle 2.0 sells for less than $300, that's a real advantage, but then I'd look for Sony to drop its prices.
Kindle has a slight edge in this category, but not yet what I'd call an advantage.
Physicality– Draw
The biggest drawback to the Reader, by far, is its contrast ratio. If you have bad vision, this might be a real concern. For me, it wasn't a problem. You need a bit more light than a real book, but that's about all. There's also a lot of kerfuffle about the glare; this also hasn't been an issue for me, though I ordered an anti-glare screen (which turned out to be a disappointment. So these are Kindle advantages.
But the Reader has a better design, it's prettier, only as big as it needs to be, and doesn't have a ton of physical buttons. Also, at virtually the same weight as Kindle, the Reader feels substantial without being heavy.
The Reader also has a built-in light, and I'll trade that and the touchscreen for the reduced contrast ratio and glare.
Kindle 2.0 might change some of this, but from the leaked pictures, it still doesn't have a touchscreen and is still as ugly as ever.
Content Delivery– Advantage: Kindle
The EVDO delivery system is slick, it's the first thing that got me interested in the Kindle. Also, the eBook Library software that comes with the Reader is god-awful. Really, really bad No question that it's easier and cheaper to get proprietary-format books on the Kindle–books that you can't use with any other device–and, despite that I hate all things proprietary, this almost had waiting for one, except for the catches that come with it:
DRM and Readable Formats– Advantage: Reader
You have to pay for everything you download on Kindle's whispernet, even free blogs, so it's not really free wireless. And all the content that comes from Amazon is chock full of DRM (digital rights management, the same embedded software that iTunes recently stopped using after years of complaints), which is a bit ludicrous after the lessons learned by the recording industry. You also have to pay to translate PDFs and docs into Amazon's proprietary format. That's annoying not so much for the 10-cent fee per document, but for backing up; presumably you have to back up the original copy, and the Kindle proprietary.
Hopefully the Kindle 2.0 will have PDF support, and won't make you translate everything. Right now, reading PDFs on the Reader is a pleasure, with reflow and resizing, it's my favorite way to read books. Also, hopefully publishers will sooner or later read a blog and realize that DRM is bad, people don't like it, and it costs companies money, it doesn't save them money. (Much more on that in future posts.)
Frankly, I don't care about wireless everywhere if it lashes me so tightly to a system of proprietary DRM, and doesn't offer any free content whatsoever.
"But wait!" you say. "Sony's ebook store is smaller, more expensive and still DRMed." That's very true, and even though there will inevitably be an evening out of ebook inventory (not to mention a reduction in prices), this too almost made me wait for the Kindle. Except for one last thing.
Library eBooks– Big Advantage: Reader
Here's the thing that finally got me on the Reader wagon: you can check out library ebooks on it. It takes a small bit of doing, and I think you have to have Windows, but that's an enormous advantage. So big that I don't know why it's not in every ad that Sony prints for the Reader (both of them).
This is still in the initial phases; I had to use an old card for the Seattle Public Library to do it and they only have one copy of most ebooks (check out their ecollection). It looks like you can buy a non-resident card to the Ottawa Library, if your local library doesn't do this yet. You've also got to get Adobe Digital Editions, and the ebooks you check out are DRMed (and expire in three weeks), but who cares, they're free.
I've found about 50-75% of the books I want at the library. Soon, I imagine most, if not all, will be available, just like at the brick and mortar library. I can't say enough about this feature, it's happening and Amazon is missing the boat. With the current state of buying ebooks as abysmal as it is, paying for books is currently my last resort.
The Seattle Public Library also has Mobipocket versions, which Kindle might play, but it looks like Kindle only plays unDRMed Mobipockets. (If you make a library ebook work on a Kindle, let me know.)
Conclusion: Reader Wins, and It's Not Close
There are clear problems to fix with the Reader: contrast, ebook store selection, ebook store software etc. In the future, ereaders will have perfect contrast ratios, but they'll also damn sure have touchscreens. Sooner or later, all online stores will have the same selection at around the same price, and eventually they'll all be DRM-free.
Subsequent versions of the Sony Reader might have wireless everywhere, but until it can provide access to non-DRM books and magazines from different stores, I'm not going to go out of my way to get a device with it.
Ultimately, it's a compromise to get good, cheap content on either. As long as I'm compromising on content acquisition, I'd rather have the ereader with the much, much better content management system.

One of the best ways to ensure that children succeed in school is to provide all children with access to high-quality programs for early learning. To meet this goal, we work with public and nonpublic schools, community-based organizations, and home-based child-care providers to continuously improve the quality of early-learning programs and to expand opportunities for early learning across our state.
The early childhood work in the Office of Instruction, Assessment, and Curriculum supports four primary goals:

Pros: Well maintained, with a good playing surface
Cons: Not a natural course. All of the contour is fake, and it looks fake. In other words, it is not natural terrain, a lot of dirt was moved.

"Huntmore Golf Club, formerly the Golf Club of Michigan, was designed by Pat Grelak and built in 2000. The course plays to 7,115 yards (74.8/143 rating) but there are three alternate sets of tees. Set in rolling woodlands, the course is both attractive and difficult. One can consider this a target golf course and features wetlands, dense woods and significant greenside bunkering.

" This hidden gem winds its way over gentling rolling hills bordered by native grasslands, forest and wetlands. Tipping out at 6,914 yards (72.5/135) one better have their "A" game ready or consider using one of the 4 alternate tees.

Built in 1990 and designed by Metropark staff, the course plays to a par of 71.

"The course is over hyped, but over all isn't a bad value. The architecture is boring and unnatural." --Finn725
" Leslie is a fine and entertaining layout located in NE Ann Arbor. Tipping out at about 6,700 yards, the course will not strike fear in the heart of the +3 handicapper but the rest of us will have plenty to keep us busy.

Coming with Groups
Muncaster makes a wonderful full day visit for any group with four top attractions in one location. The breathtaking vista of the Western Lakeland fells and Scafell Pike (England's highest mountain) mean the views alone make the trip worthwhile. We recommend a minimum of 2½ hours at Muncaster but many groups spend up to five or more hours here quite happily.
Please ask your driver to deliver your party to the Coach Park entrance where you will find reserved space for coaches. Upon arrival, you will be met by a Muncaster representative, who will welcome your party, issue tickets, Muncaster site plans and answer any questions you may have.
Note to coach drivers approaching from the south - the turning into the coach park is at the top of a hill and is very tight so please approach slowly. For larger coaches traveling from the south we suggest that you go past our coach park and turn around in our main carpark as the turn in to the coach park is better from the north.
Please call us on 01229 717614 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your group booking.
Please note the Castle may be closed on Saturdays to host weddings.
To qualify for group discount one person must purchase the tickets. On the rare occasion that we may not be able to meet you, please purchase your tickets from the Owl Shop.
Cash, cards or cheques accepted. Please make cheques payable to "Muncaster Visitor Management Ltd"

To make your day even more special, you could consider dining in style either in the Castle or the Old Laundry. If you are interested in either a private tour or dining arrangements, please ask us for prices and more information.

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma City police officer arrested on charges of serial sexual assault preyed on women in the rundown neighborhoods he was assigned to patrol — picking some up off the street, pulling others over at traffic stops and in one case taking a woman to a nearby school, according to an affidavit released Friday.

Current Articles
By Marcus McDowell
-- On Sept. 12, 2006, I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Mikayli Rose. Mikayli was the first child for me and my wife, Mallory. Spending quality time with family became my top priority.
Mallory and I are avid bow and rifle hunters and fishing partners. Since she knows how much I enjoy being in the outdoors, she was very understanding about me pursuing my dreams of harvesting an elk and a deer. In October of 2006, we went on a trip with her parents to the eastern flatlands of Montana to hunt antelope. I was fortunate enough to take my first antelope while Mallory stayed back at camp and took care of Mikayli.
We hunted a lot during bow season for elk and deer but were unsuccessful. When rifle season opened, we took every opportunity we could to harvest an elk or a deer. Mallory's brother, Forrest, called me at work just before lunch and told me about a nice 140-class whitetail he had seen while out scouting a farmer's ranch just the week before. I called Mallory and told her I was heading down toward camp to ask permission to hunt on this landowner's property. She was to head down the next day to spend the night at camp with Forrest and me. As I hesitated to leave work that afternoon, I knew that the rut was in full swing, so I finally asked to take some personal leave that I had been stockpiling for the next year's hunting season. Forrest and I met and took off for the hunting camp.
On the way, we decided to take a drive to a ranch that occasionally holds elk in the thick timber patches. With not a lot of time before dark, we glassed and made our way to the ranch we would be asking to hunt on. As we approached the ranch house, we knew we were in for some good whitetail hunting. We knocked on the door and asked the rancher if it would be okay to make some pushes in the creek bottom and hunt for whitetails on his property. He gave us a blank stare, almost as if he thought we were insane.
He said to us with a grimace, "Boys, there ain't no deer on my property, but go ahead if you'd like."
Forrest has been hunting all his life, and with the help of his dad, mom, and Mallory, has taught me most everything I know about hunting. The best thing they every taught me was that most ranch owners overlook the quality of wildlife they are blessed with.
We drove the jeep up one a mountain, and Forrest dropped me off. I walked down and sat on a sagebrush hillside toward the end of the creek bottom near the ranch's fence line. Forrest went back and parked near the beginning of the large creek bottom filled with nice thickets where the deer like to bed.
I glassed the fields and the creek. After about 15 minutes, I saw two deer that Forrest spooked on his way in to the creek bottom. As I watched them trounce away, I spotted a group of eight deer just past the creek bottom in the ranch's hayfield. I saw antlers but couldn't quite tell if it was a shooter buck. After Forrest made his way back to me, we decided we only had time to make a stalk on the buck in the hayfield, crossing our fingers it was a shooter.
We pressed our way through the creek bottom, trying to find a good spot to cross. We had out heads down and were trying to sneak our way through the thickets when a buck ran across the creek. Before we could get the crosshairs on him, the buck was across the fence and on the adjacent ranch.
All we could do was hope that he might come back for the does. Forrest and I set up on a little hill just to the west of the fence line. After about a half hour with no sight of the big buck, we decided to keep with our plan and hunt the buck with the does in the hayfield.
With only about an hour of good light before the sun was to set, we hiked back to the jeep. We took the jeep to the next hayfield over and noticed a coulee running up to the field. If we could make it to the coulee, all we had to do was crawl up the bank through the sage brush and set up for a shot. The deer were bedded, so we decided to give it a try.
As we were walking and keeping low enough so the deer couldn't see us, we must have kicked up a dozen huns or so. As we approached the coulee we kicked up another group of huns, which made the deer uneasy. We crawled up the bank through the sage and caught a glimpse of the buck. The deer were standing now, probably from the commotion of the birds. We put the scope on him, and it turned out to be a beautiful 4-pointer (Western count) with nice tines.
I wasn't about to be picky at this point of the season. Just being able to get a shot at a nice deer was all I could ask for. I put out the bi-pods on my Remington .300 WSM, and got ready for a shot. Forrest gave me the okay once the buck turned broadside, so I put the crosshairs just past the shoulder and squeezed the trigger. I heard a thud, and looked at Forrest. All I could see was excitement. I knew then that I just harvested a nice whitetail.
With the orange sunset as the background, the buck couldn't have looked better for our pictures. We snapped about 15 photos and loaded the buck into the trailer.
On the way back to the camper, we stopped where I had just enough cell service to phone Mallory and tell her the good news. She was just as excited as I was, knowing that we had a quality buck, and, better yet, food until next season. She arrived at camp later that night with baby Mikayli, or "Tuke" as I call her. We shared the success of the harvest together and enjoyed a night at camp. It was the best feeling in the world to have my wonderful wife and the most beautiful baby in Montana at camp with me that night.
Some day Mikayli will be join Mallory and me in the outdoors, and I will be able to tell her stories of when she was at camp with us when she was only two months old.
The next Monday, my father-in-law and mother-in-law took off for the ranch to see if they could find the big boy. They set up on a hill and rattled. Not more than 15 minutes later, they spotted the big buck jumping fences, running directly to their setup. My mother-in-law was able to harvest the 130-class buck with one nice shot.
I'm grateful to my new family for letting me join them on all of their hunting and fishing outings. I am truly grateful. Thank you, Mallory. You are the best wife in the world, and I look forward to sharing more hunting success with you in the future, hopefully with "Tuke" by our sides.

Kennedy HS Evacuated After Fire Alarm
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- Around 1,800 students and faculty were forced out of their rooms today after fire alarms sounded at Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids. It happened just after 8:00am Friday morning. Firefighters say the alarms were activated after a burnt electrical odor was discovered in the main south gym.
Firefighters called to the scene were able to find an overheated electrical motor above the band room. Alliant Energy was also called to the scene. Investigators say the cause of the incident is believe to be electrical power partially interrupted to the school.
Power was fully restored to the school and its alarm system before firefighters left the scene. Students and faculty returned to class about 15 minutes after the initial evacuation.

We stumbled upon Daisuke Hiraiwa's booth last weekend at ICFF 2010 and were completely mesmerized by the fluffy, metallic cloud lamp hovering over the space. Once we got a closer look, we saw that the entire suspended fixture was actually made out of stainless-steel scrubbing sponges!
We "ooed" and "ahhed" over the magnificence of the piece and its reflective qualities that create a brilliant sparkle and enhance the glow coming from inside the fixture. One would never guess that a chandelier this brilliant could be constructed purely from items that are readily available in any run of the mill kitchen.
Japanese designer, Daisuke Hiraiwa is educated in architecture, ceramics, spacial and interior design. Hiraiwa currently works in his London-based studio, g.+ which he founded in 2007. This isn't the first time Hiraiwa transformed regular household items into a work of art – he is also well-known for his works that are made by re-using plastic cutlery and transforming them into a beautiful sculptures.

China recently announced that it is planning to reduce its carbon intensity by 40-45% (from 2005 levels) and generate 15% of its electricity from renewables by 2020. According to Zhang Guobao, head of the National Energy Administration, the country will be launching a multi-billion dollar program investing in wind, solar and nuclear power some time in the near future.
The new development is in following with the pledge that Premier Wen Jiabao made at the Copenhagen climate change summit back in December to reduce its emissions and ramp up renewable energy infrastructure. While Zhang told newspaper China Daily that the program will go public soon, he did not specify a date.
"Power projects take a long time to get up and running, and we are basically allowed five years to complete them although it is a 10-year programme," Zhang told China Daily. "Otherwise, the facilities cannot be put into use by 2020."

China to build the Worl... October 25, 2010 at 11:46 am
[...] It seems that the title of World's Biggest Offshore Wind Farm is a fleeting thing – at the moment it is held by Thanet Wind Farm in the North Sea, but soon it could belong to Bohai Bay in China. It is not surprising that China could soon usurp this title, as not only is the country now one of the largest producers of solar energy and photovoltaic technology, it is now leading the world in wind turbine production.

Udall Welcomes President's Push to Combat Global Warming, Cites Colorado Jobs, Wildfires as Reasons for Urgent Action
Proposals Build on Successful Colorado Strategy of Balanced Energy Development
Mark Udall welcomed President Obama's remarks today renewing efforts to address global warming. Udall said the wildfires burning throughout Colorado underscore the urgency for the nation to reduce carbon emissions and address warming trends.
"Global warming is one of the defining challenges of our time, and how we handle the issue will have profound implications for the planet we leave our children. This is clear in Colorado, where rising temperatures and ongoing drought have exacerbated recent wildfires that threaten entire communities and our critical water supplies," Udall said. "That's why I strongly support the President's announcement today and see it as a call to action for Congress to finally take concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and invest in a balanced approach to securing our energy needs. This approach was pioneered here in Colorado, where our renewable energy industry has created thousands of good-paying jobs by tapping into our abundant supplies of wind and solar energy. I look forward to continuing my efforts to push the U.S. Congress to finally take bold action, which should include putting some sort of common-sense price on carbon. A sensible policy also means responsibly developing our vast renewable and traditional energy sources--and making Colorado's balanced energy strategy a model for the nation."
Udall has a long history of promoting policies that encourage the development of both traditional and renewable energy resources, to reduce global warming, and to protect Colorado's clean air and clean water. For example, Udall introduced a bipartisan bill earlier this year to streamline the permit process for renewable energy projects on public lands and reinvest in local communities. Currently, obtaining permits for solar and wind projects on public lands is needlessly cumbersome and can take several years. The president's plan would complement Udall's proposal to streamline the permitting process and make it easier for companies to make long-term plans. The changes will also increase local governments' revenue and certainty by establishing a more predictable and direct royalty system from renewables that will support conservation efforts.
Udall, a leader in promoting a balanced energy strategy, also recently introduced the Streamlining Energy Efficiency for Schools Act. He also has promoted how Colorado's balanced approach to energy is a model for the nation through his ongoing Energy Outreach Tour. As part of his work to highlight Colorado's energy successes, he has visited the National Wind Technology Center in Louisville and the Elk Creek Mine and methane-capture project in Somerset, among many other sites.
