Looking back over the years, I see so clearly how my oldest son would someday grow up to become a soldier.
At 3 years old, he was living and breathing Ninja Turtles. Not a day would pass in his young life where epic battles were not being formulated, planned and executed in his mind. The good guys versus the bad guys was all that mattered and of course, the good guys would always win. "Cowabunga!" was a word that soon found its way into our entire family's vocabulary.
I remember vividly trying to explain that the Ninja Turtles were human-like turtles who lived in the sewers of New York City. My father, who served in World War II, slowly shook his head and said, "That boy needs to know where real heroes come from." My son, overhearing, excitedly asked: "Where do heroes come from, Grandpa?"
It wasn't long after that conversation, that my dad and my son had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. They would watch black and white war movies together and spent time looking at old photographs. It was contagious; I had to join in. Dad told me stories about his life I never heard before. Stories of hardship, stories of what it was like to be on a ship at sea, in a war, headed to strange lands, in the early 40s. We were mesmerized.
At 6 years old, my son moved on to Army men and started organizing his troops on a daily basis, slowly moving one army or the other ever closer to the point of no return and practicing the sounds of battle in the backseat as we drove from place to place.
At 9, he started to get creative and started painting his armies. Missing my bottle of nail polish I soon discovered it had been used for more interesting purposes: to don the battle uniforms of two distinct yet similar armies, on his bedroom floor.
When he was 13, Sept. 11, 2001 came crashing down around us. Life stood still. Shock, fear, anger, sorrow. My son experienced a deep and moving reaction to the terrorist attacks, just as we all did. But, he vowed someday, he would make a difference - that he would be one of the good guys hunting down the bad guys.
At 18, he signed up with the Army and headed to boot camp. I was scared to death. What would happen? Would he be safe? Would I see him again? Why did he have to go in a time of war? Of course I was very proud of him; the entire family was. There is nothing like the feeling of having your child in a war zone. It's like having your heart rip open your chest, leap out and start running away.
My son is still in the Army although no longer in Iraq. I can't be thankful enough. But it's hard not to worry until he comes home again. Our family is no stranger to war; we've served in almost every war since the Revolution. But that doesn't make it any easier. A few good men never made it back; my father-in-law never made it home.
I hope those past heroes in my family are proud of the heroes my children have and will become. The fearless oldest, currently serving, the middle daughter, with amazing talent, and the musical youngest, with a birthday on Sept. 11. Each of my children are intelligent, unique, brave, talented, patriotic and FREE.
I yearn for the day when there will be no war, no heartache, no loss -- when we can resolve issues without weapons, and listen with our hearts as well as our heads. I pray that every single man and woman serving in the military makes it home safe and sound.
But until that happens, I think we all know where the heroes come from.

Updated: March 20, 2013 6:19AM
We recently heard from E.B. who said s/he was speaking for other silent Catholics when s/he voiced opposition to gay marriage.
"I have a problem calling it marriage. Marriage is one of the seven sacraments, which also includes Holy Communion, Baptism, etc.
Being married has a different meaning to many of us, and we resent someone telling us we must recognize gay marriage or the right of divorced people to remarry.
"These decisions come to us from the pope, not from a lawmaker in the United States or a group wanting to push their values and goals on us."
Today, readers answer back.
LAURA: I wasn't married in a Catholic church, so I guess I'm not "married" because I didn't go through your sacraments.
The point is, the civic and religious definitions of marriage are different, and no one in this country is trying to make them the same.
JERRY: Some people opposed to gay marriage are convinced that churches are going to be forced to go against their morals and start marrying gay people. Not true. There are already churches that are actually happy to marry gay people and even have gay ministers!
I remember the Pride Parade here a few years ago. Gay people from the Anglican parish held up signs saying "God Thinks I'm Fabulous." The United Church of Canada recently elected an openly gay minister as its leader.
Both these denominations interpret Scripture. They don't take it literally. Thus, they're not hung up on Leviticus, which says a man shall not lie with another man, and are able to take larger messages from the Bible.
HELEN: I guess E.B. doesn't recognize a couple married in a Hindu ceremony. According to E.B.'s beliefs, if a divorced Methodist and a divorced Presbyterian marry in a Protestant church and have a baby together, is that child illegitimate in the eyes of the Catholic Church?
Marriage, as an institution, predates the Catholic Church. And the Catholic Church does not get to impose its view of marriage on a country founded, in part, on the belief that the separation of church and state is a good thing.
MADELYN: I grew up around people who didn't like Catholics and didn't think they should serve in public office because they would allow the pope to run America. Now, E.B., it seems you think the pope should be running America.
I'll support your right to your rites just as I support my gay and lesbian friends' rights to the rites of marriage.
KYLE: I don't know any Catholics — and I know a lot of Catholics — who think the Catholic Church owns the definition of marriage.
MARTY: E.B.'s comments are misguided and misleading. First of all, no legal authority in this country can force any religious institution to recognize or perform same-sex marriage, nor are they attempting to. There may be gay Catholics urging for reform, but that has nothing to do with the push for public institutions to recognize same-sex marriage.
Second of all, your "as long as they're not in my face" remark is a red flag that I've been hearing all my life. It means the onus is on LGBTQ people to hide their identity from other people so they don't feel icky. In other words, "Back in the closet where you belong!"
Are you gay? Are you married? Would you like to be? Send your tale, along with your questions, problems and rants to email@example.com.

contractions? Last night while laying in bed watching a movie with my DH, I suddenly felt EXTREME pressure down there (past my pelvis,) Pressure that made me feel like I should be pushing something out(which I would never do) If felt kinda like when you have to poop really bad and its like a turtle head popping out, but mine was in the front.. Along with the pressure is serious cramping along my hips down to my Vag. area.. It wasnt across my lower abdominal area like menstrual cramps are( they are lower.) I was in tears and unable to speak or move while this was happening. It lasted off and on about 3 hours before I finally fell asleep, they were randomly time-able.I would have a series of them being between 4-7mins. apart and then 15 mins.later have another series. I woke up a few times during the night w/ the cramping.. And again this morning I am feeling crampy and crazy pressure.
What do you ladies think is going on? Could this be the start of labor? Should I call my Doc.?

Our all-wood spiral stair design and construction is unique. With our in-house wood shop, we have designed spiral stairs that have no metal sleeve inside the column. We manufacture our 5″ solid wood round center column. The design of the tread connection to this column ensures that strength will never be an issue for the life of the spiral staircase. In addition, the main baluster on each tread connects the upper and lower tread creating another point of strength on the step. Our balusters are 1¾" of an inch thick versus typical wooden balusters which are only 1¼" thick. Lastly all of our treads have a tread end on the outside of the step which creates support and prevents the wood moving or cupping.
These circular stairs can be manufactured in all different types of hardwoods with a number of different baluster and handrail options. When you are considering a wood spiral stair, Salter offers clear choice for quality and design elements that no other company can match. Don't forget to request pricing for your spiral staircase project.
Learn more about our spiral staircase prices.
Another consideration when purchasing a stair is the enclosure railing. This railing is intended to protect people from falling off a balcony or through a stair well. Although you may choose a stair with a wide baluster spacing, the balusters on the enclosure railing are spaced at 4″ or less, which is what the national building code requires.
Choose A Solid Wood Spiral Stair Design From The Following Options:


text: Hey all, I've got a 125 gallon tank that I'm wanting to potentially turn into an anole viv. I have a few questions though. How many anoles can comfortably live in a tank that size? I am aware that the males are territorial, but is this space adequate for two males? What types of plants are safe to plant in the vivarium? Does anyone have any problems with mold due to the humidity? Can I only put UVB lamps over one area of the viv or should their be multiple basking areas? Should the heat lamp go right across the entire top of the viv or can I keep it to one area? Can the UVB and the heat basking area be in the same place in order to sorta kill two birds with one stone? What are some alternative feeders to crickets... those rotten little bugs really smell. And anything else that anyone may want to add would be appreciated, thanks

Baptist Health Foundation Cuts Fundraising Goal to $40 Million
Posted 5/20/2013 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
After two years, the Baptist Health Foundation has taken a surgical knife to its capital campaign goal to raise $110 million from philanthropy for Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock.
The foundation now wants to raise $40 million from donations, and so far it's received $15 million, said Baptist Health spokesman Mark Lowman.
Baptist Health still is looking for ways to generate the $70 million to complete the projects for the hospital, but nothing has been decided on how to obtain the funds, he said.
Lowman said donations have been lagging because potential donors don't realize that Baptist Health is a nonprofit organization "that provides significant charity care in the state."
Still, Baptist is moving forward with the projects announced in April 2011, the start of the campaign.
The hospital plans to expand its surgical suites, buy "cutting-edge" technology and turn all patient rooms into private rooms, the foundation said at the time. The foundation had planned to target individuals, corporations and foundations for donations.

Simply fill out the form below or contact us by phone
or Call (508) 921-0085
How Does It Work?
www.rvauctionsonline.com specializes in connecting buyers with lender owned RV's, boat, trucks, and SUV's. We have a block of repo RV's that go on sale every 14 days. Buyers make a nonbinding offer on our website and the highest offer at the end of the last day wins the right to purchase the RV.
Before purchasing the RV the buyer has the right to inspect the RV in person or through a licensed third party and at that point can choose to purchase the RV or decline. Payment arrangments are made with the dircectly lender. There are no up front fee's or deposits required to make an offer on our 14 day sale.
Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
What condition are the vehicles in?
Most of our vehicles are newer, but we have capital RV'sof all types and ages. each vehicle comes with a 90 day warranty, a mechanical inspection, and Carfax report.
Where are you located?
Our office is in Massachusetts but our inventory is nationwide. The RVA's are located in different cities and states throughout the US. Most RVs have free delivery to your location so you are able to bid on any of our inventory regardless of where you live as long as you are in the continental US.
Can I see pictures?
On our inventory listing webpage we post pictures provided by the lender. There are usually one exterior photo and one or two interior photos. We post what ever pictures we have but unlike the dealership Lenders are not marketers and don't have time to take lots of pictures and prepare elaborate descriptions. However, if you submit the winning offer the lender will work with you to take pictures, let you inspect, or have an independent third party inspect the vehicle prior to purchasing.
Can I see the vehicle?
If you have the winning offer you are entitled to inspect the vehicle in person, use a third-party, and request additional pictures. In addition you will be furnished with a mechanical report, and a Carfax history report. At that point you can go ahead with the purchase or decline. Your offer is nonbinding and subject to a satisfactory inspection on your part.
Do you finance?
About 50% of vehicles are purchased in cash, the other 50% are financed. You can bring your own financing, or negotiate financing directly with the lender if you choose to.
Can I renegotiate the price?
NO! You can accept or reject the RV if you are the winning bidder however the lender will not renegotiate the offer price. This prevents the situation of bidders who make an unrealistic offer just to get their "foot in the door" and then want to negotiate down to their "true" offer price. Please make an offer that works for your budget.

Massive Victorian Tiger Claw Brooch
Most of the antique tiger claw jewelry we see today was a result of the British colonizing the subcontinent of India. British military officers and colonials often hunted the destructive Bengal tiger. Souvenirs of the hunt, such as claws and teeth, were made into all sorts of baubles ranging from fobs to elaborately designed gold jacketed jewelry. This trend lasted from the mid 1850s well into the middle of the 20th century.
This very fine and large example of a Raj era brooch is clearly Victorian and one of the largest claws that The Three Graces has seen. The reverse reveals the original fittings of clasp, pin stem and tube hinge which places this piece clearly in the later part of the 19th century. The precise contours of the claw have been clad in 9k rose gold and hand engraved with flower and leaf motifs. The scalloped edge of the cap gives a nice detail to the gold work.
Date: Circa 1870-1880.
Condition: Excellent; some natural variations to color and texture due to the organic nature of a real claw.
Measurements: 1-1/2 inches (3.7 cm) in length by 2-3/8 inches (6.2 cm) in width without the extended pin stem by 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in depth at the widest including brooch mount. This antique brooch has a weight of 12.1 grams (7.8 dwt).
Origin: Indian Raj or British Raj in origin.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A $1 million Iowa Lottery prize from the Sept. 26 Powerball drawing has gone to a woman from southern Wisconsin.
The Iowa Lottery says Kara Fitters, of Evansville, Wis., claimed her prize Thursday at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Des Moines.
She bought her ticket at a Casey's General Store in Williamsburg, Iowa. The ticket matched five of the six numbers but missed the Powerball number. The numbers were 13, 26, 39, 41, 42 and Powerball 10.
A couple from Bondurant, Iowa, had all six numbers and won the $202.1 million jackpot. Brian and Mary Lohse claimed their prize on Oct. 4, taking the lump-sum payout of $129.8 million.

Working with Children, if you work in day care-education you have to love what you do. They have a curriculum written for you so if you want to you can use that. I didn't like it but its available. I happen to be very lucky and work with people I loved.Cons
It is franchised, so every center is different. They all follow corporate policy, yet are given a lot of freedom to run as they see fit. Expectation and paper work is very high, with very little help. It is also daycare so the pay is not very much.

There is a problem in the circuit that the fuse protects. You will need a wiring diagram and a volt/ohm meter to be able to diagnose this problem. You should consider taking this to a shop, these problems can be difficult too diagnose, even for the highly experienced technicians.

Japanese Title note (Literal): "Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beasts"
English Title (Localized): "Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts"At Fumizuki Academy, a new class system has been implemented. Students are separated into classes A through F based on entrance exam results, and the quality of classrooms and facilities vary according to level. They can also conjure Summoned Beings, miniature versions of themselves whose strengths are based on their test scores, to engage in inter-class matches called Examination Summons Battles (ESB). If a lower class defeats an upper class, the former can impose a trade of facilities.Mizuki Himeji was forced to skip placement exams due to a fever, technically forcing the poor girl, who has the brains to become a Class A-caliber student, to end up in the woefully ill-equipped and moldy Class F. Among her classmates there are: Yuuji Sakamoto, the Brilliant but Lazy Class Representative; Minami Shimada, the only other girl in class and a violent tomboy; Hideyoshi Kinoshita, an extremely effeminate stage actor; Kouta Tsuchiya, the resident pervert; and Akihisa Yoshii, the "biggest idiot on campus", who out of sympathy for Mizuki, decides to start an ESB with Class A to help her climb up the ranks. It's a bunch of misfits against the world — and the world is more than ready. It's time to see if they are... up to the test.Based on a popular series of Light Novels by Kenji Inoue, an anime version aired in the winter of 2010. While it's not animated by Studio Shaft, it is directed by Shin Ohnuma as part of Silver Link, and many Shaft-isms are prevalent in the series. The first season is 13 episodes and finished airing on March 31, 2010. A second season began airing in the Summer 2011 Anime Season. There are also two manga adaptations. The Light Novel's story officially ended as of Volume 12 with an extra novel 12.5 being released to finalize the series.The series is also licensed by FUNimation. You can now watch the series on their video portal, here. All character-specific tropes go to the character sheet; multiple-character tropes can remain here.
Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts provides examples of the following tropes:

It's actually two classes, "Health" and "Consumer Education.". Suggested by his adviser, theoretically, taking classes over the summer would put a kid ahead but that's not what's really happening here. Chris now has "made room" for another, most likely, AP class for sophomore year
For fall he has scheduled a class during his normal lunch time though he'll be allowed to grab a tray from the cafeteria and take it with him to his tailored-for-Gifted-Program-kids class, "Critical Thinking." Lunch on the run/at your desk—isn't that how much of the working world does it every day?
This just makes my head hurt and my heart force me to consider if this is how a teenager should live his life. Put in 6 weeks of summer school when you don't have to?
Part of me—the part that wants him to aim really high and make it? I think its great do this stuff 'cause doing so might help get a partial scholarship to college (I know, magical thinking).
The other part of my brain is twitching about, worrying that he's already taking AP classes, shouldn't he let his brain get the down time of a full summer break?
Plus this really fraks with our summer vacation plans (which come a distant last to his schooling).
Ack! I wanna be selfish!

I knew it wouldn't pay to sew a cape now since the warm days are coming to an end. What the hell, I did it anyway, and even managed to wear it for a few days! I've heard that something like that was trendy in 2010 – and once again – what the hell :P The fabric (wool with cashmere) was bought in one of the wholesales nearby Gogowska street in Pozna. There are dozens of them so there are many fabrics to choose from. The pattern is of my own.
I have to mention that I was inspired by the Lindsey pattern.

It's beautiful. And very inspirational. I am vacationing in Portland, Ore. USA, and went on a tour of the Pendleton wool mill today. Bought 4 yards of wool fabric after the tour. Maybe I should think about sewing a cape…
Nov 9, 2011, 06.30 AMby kardamon
You definitely should! It's very comfortable to wear and easy to sew :)

text: I have a confession to make. I am impatient. So much so that, even though computers made it into my life two decades or so, and the web, a decade or so, I am frustrated every day with the state of computing. And something in particular has been bugging me for quite a while now. For the world of me, I can't get why we're still using folders to organize information. Folders force me to compartmentalize information, in an exclusive, hierarchical way. Each file or, broadly speaking, piece of content, can only be in one folder at a time, unless it's copied twice. In fact, folders are just one very constrained type of tags. Very inefficient, very paper-like, very 20th century. Tags are so much better. And for full disclosure, I've been working on an idea for a while. But, as I couldn't take any talented programmer away from the yet-another mashup or facebook app they were working on at that time, I am presenting an extended concept here, with three hopes: that it highlights some of the benefits I expect from the semantic web or from the future forms of tagging, that it guides entrepreneurs to develop new value propositions based on those early adopter needs, and lastly, maybe, that a talented programmer realizes the potential and contacts me to assess a partnership. But wait, I expect you to tell me that there is one problem: tags are messy and time-consuming.Yes, I agree with the general consensus, but I'm not thinking about the type of tags you've used so far. What I'm talking about is something I'd like to call Supertags for now, as a blanket name only… the actual name probably wouldn't involve the tainted word "tag". So, those would be tags that I could use across the board, be it on gmail, on Flickr, on facebook, on del.icio.us, on my blog, and while I'm at it, on my laptop and my cellphone applications too. This way, I could tag my emails about this article in Outlook with both "Idea for New venture" and "My blog posts", instead of choosing between both. I could tag part of my information, such as a paragraph, and I could even tag words or expressions, telling the system that this is an address, or a location, or a date. I could find all information I tagged with the same keywords, on all my other services. It would all be synchronized. To help with all that, there would be a central tag manager, which I could access either from my laptop or on the web, as it would also synchronize itself. Just like I organize my folders today with MS file explorer, I could also organize my tags the way I want, with relationships that are nested or not. The system would know which tags are synonyms and which one are closely related. It could infer things, for example that a date tagged as such in my document, refers to a historical event, and it would find all documents related to that event when I ask him about this date. Or it could break down the content in Wikipedia and reconstitute new documents based on the tags in each paragraph. It could even merge my content and others' based on our tags. But wait, tagging all that information would be way too cumbersome for me. And I would want it to be completely tagged, at all the different possible levels: word, expression, paragraph, document, group of documents even. I would need automated tagging, or automated tag suggestion for the information I prefer to tag myself in an authoritative way. A lot of my information would be tagged automatically: for example at the more granular level, the system would find dates, locations and names and tag them all by itself. At a more conceptual level, it would tag information based on an analysis of the information to be tagged, the tags I'm already using, similar information I've already tagged, and similar information others have tagged, in a wisdom-of-the-crowd way. I could share my set of tags as desired, and all shared tags could be publicly synthesized into a giant, dynamic tag base, that could tell us things like which tag is most used, when and where. One could also spot buzz trends with such a service. This central tag base would contribute to the autotagging capabilities, too. Because it's about eliminating the noise, the system would be smart enough to determine which are the one, 5 or 20 tags that best apply to my information, and to which extent each unique tag applies to this data. This is a parameter I could personalize. The system would do that in a way that facilitates data organization and data retrieval, the two key uses for my Supertags. Organization must be logical and highly descriptive. Retrieval must be fast. That's two often conflicting priorities. Tags solve that for me, because I can tag things with some tags used for organization purposes, like "Renaissance music", and others used for retrieval purposes, like "Work in progress". My system would also recommend content tagged in similar ways by others, and help me connect with similar-minded users based on our common tags. Even better, I could link information using tags too. I could tag a date in a document to a paragraph in another, using the tag "connect". Or two names with the tag "is the daughter of". Another person could link those documents differently, based on their views of the world. To summarize, my system would tag anything I ask it to, in an automated or semi-automated way, using tags that would be useable or at least exportable to any service, offering me content suggestions and social connections based on my tags and a shared tag repository. Tags would be streamlined based on semantic capabilities, so that synonyms are linked as such. The system would link information together using tags, and it would let me organize those tags while synchronizing them with all my tag-using applications and channels. In a future version, the system would review information for me, in the way I normally would, and tag it for me, based on a complex understanding of my goals. No more semi-automated tagging. The step after that would be for the system to review information and use it in a better way than I would, in a prescient way, based on my objectives (or perhaps, objectives that, in my own eyes, are even superior to the ones I had initially). Then I think I might finally stop being frustrated about computing. I'm only a little worried computing will be frustrated with me, and start to think about its own objectives. I've watched Terminator a little too often. For now, I know that this vision is idealistic. So much so, in fact, that making the multi-level relational autotagging work would pretty much complete the dream of the semantic web! So let's do what many start-ups should learn to do better: sequence their go-to-market strategy. See my next post for a suggested first step in the direction of Supertags.

Electronics has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. I'd spend the afternoons setting up surround sound systems and home theaters in my parents basement so that my friends and I could watch movies and play all our favorite video games with a great sounding system. I still have that same passion today. I'm often tweaking my home theater setup and purchasing new toys for my "man cave" whenever my wife will let me! Since coming to Crutchfield I've learned the joys of car audio as well.
After installing a new system in my vehicle I was blown away with how great it sounded and now I've been avoiding the itch to do more.
When I'm not at work I'm a bit of a sports nut that enjoys playing basketball, kickball and flag football. I also try to get in plenty of time with my two boys who are 5 years old and 6 months old.

I have yet to find another company that provides such excellent customer service, and that's thanks to people like Dylan. Dylan patiently listened to what I was looking for, asked a lot of good questions, and led me to a purchase I am incredibly happy with. I've had my share of salespeople try to upsell me into something I didn't want or need. Dylan was honest and kept me on budget. I will definitely be back, again and again.

NEWPORT CITY ŌĆō Two downtown businesses are among 28 establishments to receive historic preservation tax credits from the state this year.
Lago Trattoria received $142,200 and the Tasting Center received $118,605. Newport CityŌĆÖs designated town status made the two business owners eligible to receive the tax credits.
Sen. Vince Illuzzi of Derby, whose committee has been a strong proponent of the credits, is delighted that some of the money is coming to Newport City. The credits, he said, encourages investments in historic downtown buildings and avoids sprawl.
Vermont business owners who applied for the credits competed for about $1.8 million.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs highly competitive,ŌĆØ said Caitlin Corkins, Tax Credits and Grants Coordinator for the state. ŌĆ£We had about $3 million that was requested. There were some really worthy projects that didnŌĆÖt get funding.ŌĆØ
The Downtown Designated Board evaluated each request. The board looked at community need, job creation, financial need, and the status of each project. The board also had $500,000 to allocate to businesses that suffered damage from Tropical Storm Irene.
The tax credit is a dollar for dollar. A business that has a $20,000 tax credit gets $20,000 off its business' income tax liability. Businesses that receive tax credits may keep or sell their credits. The buyer, usually a bank, will typically buy the credit at less than face value.
The credits, said Corkins, encourage investment in the rehabilitation of downtown businesses, which ends up paying for the tax revenue. Some buildings are currently empty or partially empty. The projects will generate tax revenues with the purchase of goods and services and by employing people.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an allocation appropriated by the legislature,ŌĆØ said Corkins. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not like an appropriation for a grant or something. ItŌĆÖs not a pot of money thatŌĆÖs not being given away. Basically it's taxes that arenŌĆÖt coming in.ŌĆØ
Frank Richardi, owner of Lago Trattoria, has plans to renovate the second floor of his restaurant into a boutique hotel and add a roof top bar. The total cost of the project is about $1,010,200, which entails installing an elevator and sprinkler system, and doing fa├¦ade and window work, all while keeping the building in its historic state. The tax credits help lessen the cost of the work. Richardi is following strict guidelines to keep his building historic and is not receiving an actual check from the state.
RichardiŌĆÖs project will bring upwards of 11 full-time and part-time jobs. He plans to begin in the spring and have his project complete by fall of 2013.
Eleanor Leger, manager of the Northeast Kingdom Tasting Center and president of Eden Ice Cider Company, plans to renovate and open the business in a vacant storefront. The money, she said, will help cover the cost of installing an elevator and sprinkler system, renovating the storefront and updating the infrastructure, like the plumbing and wiring. The project will cost $920,000.
Leger also has plans to move the winery operations to the basement of the building. She hopes it will be up and running by late January. Leger predicts the first part of the tasting center will open in May or June.
The announcement for the tax credits was made at a press conference in Barre Monday.
ŌĆ£This is huge,ŌĆØ said Trish Sears, executive director of the Newport City Renaissance Corporation. The tax credits remind other businesses and other property owners of opportunities to improve their properties and bring them to code. ŌĆ£This is a great way to take care of our historic buildings that is manageable and affordable for the local landlords.ŌĆØ

Man gets 50 years for killing teen who flirted with his girlfriend
BY DAN ROZEK Staff Reporter email@example.com June 12, 2012 3:26PM
Luis Villavicencio-Serna
Updated: June 12, 2012 3:26PM
A reputed Chicago gang member who gunned down an Addison teenager he believed had flirted with his girlfriend was sentenced Tuesday to 50 years in prison for the 2009 slaying.
After being slammed with a sentence that likely will keep him behind bars until he is 71 years old, Luis Villavicencio-Serna turned in the Wheaton courtroom and grinned at several Addison police officers who had investigated the killing.
Now 21, Villavicencio-Serna was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Armando Huerta Jr. in a May 16, 2009, drive-by shooting as Huerta stood outside his Addison apartment.
The shooting occurred after Huerta had called and texted the 16-year-old girl Villavicencio-Serna was dating, DuPage County prosecutors said during his trial earlier this year.
"He was old enough to pull the trigger, but not mature enough to place a temporary dispute in its proper perspective," Judge Daniel Guerin said as he sentenced the Chicago man. "Now, he's going to grow old in prison."
Villavicencio-Serna's girlfriend and two other friends during the trial recanted their initial claims to police that they saw him carry out the deadly attack.
Prosecutors argued the three changed their testimony because they were reluctant to testify against Villavicencio-Serna because of their ties to him.
He faced a prison term ranging from 45 years to life.

By the numbers: Who keeps their New Year's resolutions
We're two days into the new year and at least a few of you are still hanging on to your New Year's resolutions, let's look at them, in depth, by the numbers.
According to research, 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year's resolutions. Topping the list for 2012 was lose weight, spend less, save more and shape up. The other 55 percent of people apparently don't need a formal resolution to proclaim their goals – which include continue sitting, snacking, on-line shopping, and spectating.
Only 8 percent of people actually fulfill their resolutions. This means 92 percent of you will be feeling a little less than perfect. But the good news is 46 percent stick to their vows for 6 months and 64 percent last at least one month.
If you've one of those people who have already fallen off the New Year's resolution wagon, you're not alone. Approximately 25 percent of people who make New Year's resolutions break them in less than one week.
Studies show 34 percent of resolutions are money-related, but considering the average household is $54,000 in debt, perhaps that percentage should be a bit higher. In addition, 38 percent of resolutions involve losing weight. This is a good thing considering 69 percent of Americans are overweight.
This is also why most gym memberships are sold in January. Unfortunately, 60 percent of those memberships go unused.
What's your 2013 New Year's resolution? Tell us in the comment section below.

The Threat of Celebratory Gunfire is Real!
As we approach Independence Day 2013, the country will be celebrating in many different ways. There will be firework displays, family gatherings and firecrackers. There will be many laughs and smiles that day as we celebrate our country's independence. In the midst of the excitement and thankfulness, there is a real danger that is a threat to us all. That danger is "Celebratory Gunfire".
Every year countless numbers of people are either killed or injured due to this senseless activity. It has been two years since Marquel Peters was struck in the head by a celebratory bullet while sitting in a Georgia church on New Year's Eve. Also, Sergio Martinez at age 34 was struck in the head with a celebratory bullet while inside of his family's home. The paramedics found him lying on the kitchen floor. Diego Duran, a 12-year-old Florida boy, was sitting in his front yard watching the fireworks in January of 2012 when he was struck by a celebratory bullet.
Diego sustained life threatening injuries, but survived and is still struggling from the effects of that shooting today. Joseph B. Jaskolka shares the moment he came in contact with celebratory Gunfire. He says: "I was struck in the head at about 12:05am, January 1st , 1999, in South Philadelphia. I was at a family party, I was almost immediately struck in the head after I took a few steps down Fernon Street. The bullet entered the top of my head, then fell down and now is resting on my brain stem. I was an athletic pre-teen who is now a hemiplegic man (I only have the use of my left sided extremities). By the way, I was just 11 years old at the time."
Deardee Hurst was sitting in her third floor apartment when she was struck in the back with a celebratory bullet in January of 2012. She also survived.
There are so many countless stories of survivors and fatalities stemming from celebratory gunfire in the United States. This year, I am asking for the public to educate themselves on the dangers of this activity and find an alternative method of choice for celebratory purposes. It has been proven that celebratory gunfire is one of the most dangerous practices that an American can participate in. Joseph B. Jaskolka says it best: "Celebratory gunfire is a deadly tradition that has been practiced for many years!"
"Celebratory Gunfire" should never be a "too hot to handle political issue," it should just stand to be an "American issue."
How do you feel about celebratory gunfire? How does it feel to know that this practice can alter the life of you and your family at any given time in the comfort of your home? Sign the petition today to end Celebratory Gunfire in the United States at http://wh.gov/pOto.
Is education the key to counteract this dangerous activity? When was the last time you saw a PSA on television about the dangers of celebratory gunfire? Did you know that there was technology available to pinpoint exactly where gunshots are fired therefore assisting law enforcement to be more effective in combating celebratory gunfire? Are you part of the problem or the solution? How does celebratory gunfire make you feel? Where should we go from here?
What do you think of this story?

Hollister motorcycle rally returns after 5-year absence
Updated On: Jul 03 2013 04:45:47 PM PDT
For the first time in five years, the Hollister motorcycle rally is returning to downtown.
Bikers from all around the country started arriving Wednesday for the event, which runs Friday through Sunday.
Security will be a concern. Police Chief David Westrick did not know how many bikers and spectators will show up, but he said at its heyday the rally attracted more than 100,000 biker fans.
Westrick said the turnout could be as low as 45,000, however his security plans are anticipating a higher turnout.
The last time the biker rally was held was in 2008, and its demise was caused by financial and security concerns. This time, the event is being put on by a promoter whose business is biker rallies. The promoter said he lined up many sponsors that will reduce costs for the city.

CoverGirl CG Smoothers All-Day Hydrating Make-up Reviews
NiceI really like this. I just wish the colors were more warm or neutral — 3 years, 1 month agoaddkg777 | 237 reviews
Loved itI would definitely repurchase this foundation. It was hydrating but didn't make me oily, great coverage, great price and I loved the finish. It made me break out slightly if I wore it for a couple days straight, but most foundations will. Also I don't think it is as long lasting as it claims, with a primer maybe 8 hours but It's still worth it. I would definitely recommend this, the only reason I had to stop using it was because my skin colour had changed and was too light for it. — 10 months, 2 weeks agomikenza | 58 reviews
love love love, but breakouts,.I love it. It's light and airy. Medium coverage. But all covergirl products make me breakout. And I already have acne it just makes it worse so I had to stop using it :( — 1 year, 9 months agoyeahdawg | 2 reviews
AMAZING PRODUCT :DI LOVE THIS <3 I've bought other CG foundations, and I didn't really like them AT ALL. In fact, I threw them away within weeks after I bought them. I'm 14, and I have acne prone skin. The face wash I use dries out my pimples. So some areas on my face are dry. Usually web I put on other foundations on my skin it attaches to pretty much every area of dry skin in my face. And it looks horrible! But t...read morehis foundation is amazing! It gives my skin extra moisture, it doesn't attach to any dry areas on my face. It makes my skin look smoother and softer. It's just amazing. If you don't use a powder, or oil absorbing setting spray or something like that, it might be a little shiny looking. So you should get something like that. Other then that I love love looovveee it (: — 1 year, 11 months agoyeahdawg | 1 reviews
Love It!This product is amazing! I use the 705- Ivory on my pale skin and it help even out all of the problem areas! I also love that you can easily squirt the product onto your hand or onto a makeup wedge. It blends in so well that you can't tell that it's there! — 2 years, 7 months agoshelby_hamel | 22 reviews

GreatI bought this on a whim and hated it at first but I like it now. It's more like a sheer foundation than a tinted moisturizer. It evens out redness well and layers easily for more coverage. My only problem is that it tends to oxidize so that by the end of the day, it has an orange tint to it. Easily fixed with blotting papers, reapplication, a touch of powder midway through the day. — 2 years, 10 months agosoro96 | 8 reviews

Great!This is a great everyday foundation. I have heavy dark circles and not only does it even out my skin tone, but I don't need to use a concealer when I use it. Feels very natural and light on your face. — 3 years, 5 months agoRosyglow23 | 52 reviews

just okayMy mother loves this, but I'm not impressed. I think it is because my skin feels a little tacky in it. Fine with poweder though. — 3 years, 7 months agolouisamarie | 72 reviews

Does what it says!After application you can definitely see that it continous hydrates your skin. I hate when I put on my moisturizer and then apply the foundation and then my skin just looks horrible and dry! This stuff works wonders for dry skin! The only thing is that it is not mattifying..which totally makes sense =)/ I just use the bare minerals foundation on top for a little more coverage and mattifier. GREAT value for the money! — 3 years, 11 months agostephanie_jean_hamilton | 20 reviews

Smooth light feelMaybelline has discontinued their "Pure Makeup" in the little blue tube, and this looked and sounded to me like a good substitute from CoverGirl. I was right! It blends effortlessly, and just looks very natural. My 57 year old skin is beginning to have fine lines, and I really think the best look for my skin is something lightweight and good feeling on my skin which is what this is. If I w...read moreas trying to look "like a model", I'd probably want more coverage. I'm not positive I have the right shade yet, but am thinking that the light shade I tried might actually be a more natural look than the darker one I used previously with "Pure". — 4 years, 1 month agoboomer53 | 4 reviews
