Word of the Day: oatcake
I sometimes describe myself as wearing four different "hats". My first hat is a teaching hat. My 23 years teaching business took me all over Europe, as well as to the Middle East and Far East. I enjoyed my stint on the BESIG Committee. I am now enjoying the challenge of EAP in my work at Oxford Brookes University. For the first time ever, I have also moved outside language teaching, running courses on interpersonal skills and IT.
My second hat as a teacher trainer has given me fascinating insights into the area of teacher education and teacher development. For some years I was the Training and Development manager for Linguarama.
I describe myself as an "accidental author" - I wanted a book on CD-ROM so badly that I ended up writing one myself! Thanks to Summertown publishing for giving me that opportunity. My second book, The Internet and Business English, co-written with Barney Barrett, was Highly Commended in the Duke of Edinburgh ESU awards. It was a great day - collecting the certificate from Buckingham Palace. Thanks to writing the business English e-lesson for Macmillan I have started exploring the actual process of materials writing. It was also stimulating to do the Teacher's Book for Mark Powell's In Company Upper-intermediate (Macmillan).
My fourth hat? I review books and software, contributing the Reviews in brief column for the International English Book Centre, in the EL Gazette. I add reviews to my new website, created by Barney: www.te4be.com , whichaims to inform teachers about technology in language teaching. One result of wearing so many hats? Seeing things from many different perspectives.
What drives me? Apart from the usual ELT wanderlust, technology really lights my fire. I am relishing the challenge of doing my M.Ed dissertation on E-language learning. I enjoy being on the Macmillan Dictionary Advisers committee as we are researching which aspects of CD-ROM users appreciate. I also love presenting at conferences - check out my website for future venues!

My friend and amazing photographer Ricardo Bohorquez took this photos for an ecuadorian art blog.
In Guayaquil, the biggest ecuadorian city, every year around december gigantic paper sculptures are built to celebrate the new year by burning them in an enormous fire on the 31th. The custom in the country is to burn a figure to say goodbye to the "old year" and hello to the "new year". These figures, made traditionally with wood, paper and fabric are called "años viejos" (literally "old years").
In Guayaquil, my city, year after year the figures and sculptures are becoming bigger and bigger with themes ranging from ancient history, sites of the world to Thundercats and Smurfs. The one representing Hulk kneeling to pick a citizen (a part that you can play yourself) is one of my favorites.

Welcome Home, Flat Stanley!
April 28, 2004
In November and December 2003, visitors to the Skokie Public Library Youth Services Department had an opportunity to participate in a Flat Stanley Sendoff during National Children's Book Week. Patrons of all ages made their own Flat Stanley cutouts, started a Travel Journal, and then reached into the "tiny suitcase" to randomly select a destination for Flat Stanley to visit. Flat Stanleys were sent to places near and far: a local home builder, Colorado, Florida...even the Caribbean and South Africa!
On April 28, 2004, the Youth Services Department welcomed home all of the Flat Stanleys at a Welcome Home, Flat Stanley! party in the Mary Radmacher Meeting Room. Children, families, and several of Flat Stanley's "hosts" joined us for flat snacks and a slide show of pictures from all of Flat Stanley's adventures. We even made life-sized Flat Stanley cutouts to take home!
If you made a Flat Stanley at the Library last fall, please stop by the Youth Services "Ask Here" desk to pick up your Flat Stanley photos and story. In the meantime, take a look at all of the places Flat Stanley visited!

"Hearing the word cancer is a scary experience, but Shellie made me feel like I was never alone," said Teddi Ferda, a Chesterton resident, as she spoke to a room full of women at Methodist Hospitals' Healthy Night Out with the Girls Event.
There were tears shed throughout the room as Ferda recalled her experience of being told by her physician that she had an infiltrating ductile carcinoma in the right breast.
"Hearing this diagnosis would never be good; however, having Shellie Rowe here to discuss the issue with was a blessing. She is knowledgeable, personable and compassionate. I realize that she does this everyday and sees many patients, however, she made me feel like no one else existed but me," added Ferda, who works in Chicago.
Shellie Rowe is the Methodist Hospitals Breast Health coordinator.
"Patients' minds are either racing or have gone numb," Rowe said, "I'm here to help them navigate the system and stay on track."
Having had a biopsy herself 20 years ago, Rowe knows what patients face. The role of a Breast Health Coordinator is to be a support and resource for the patient and her family, and help them understand and cope with the life changes and stress that accompany a diagnosis.
"I discuss what the procedure entails. I arm them with information and questions to ask the doctor. And, if needed I'll help them find a physician," Rowe stressed.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. and, after lung cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The good news is breast cancer is highly treatable; more than 90 percent of breast cancer patients survive when cancer is detected early and treated promptly.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women start receiving yearly mammograms at 40. Ferda is hoping her story will inspire other women to be proactive in their health and schedule a mammogram.
Since her diagnosis, Ferda has had a breast lumpectomy, lymph nodes removed and focused radiation treatment. Her cancer is in remission and did not spread to her lymph nodes.

Wow... strange that this got no replies in time for your trip. Sorry!
Unfortunately, even if I had found this thread in time to catch you, I'd have little to say about it myself. I've only been to PI once, and it was when I was like 12 or 13, when my mom took me with her to go see the Comedy Warehouse. I remember very little of the show for the most part. i remember laughing, but not finding it overly hilarious. but judging by what i've read about it since then, i expect that the reason i didn't find it too incredibly funny was probably because I wouldn't understand a lot of the humor at that age. I've also heard that the shows get funnier (and rowdier?) as they get later in the evening.
Aside from CW, I know nothing at all about PI, and would be eager to learn more myself. I've heard some stuff about Adventurer's Club and the names of some of the dance clubs and stuff, but because I don't drink, and I'm not really a dancer/clubber, I never really took too much interest in PI in general. It just sounds too "grown up" for me, even now.

For restaurants to have organic produce on their menus, it is important that they be able to make changes accordingly, something that is more difficult for multiple unit chains.
"So it's pretty much chef-dictated," he said. "They can look at our price list on a Monday or Tuesday and adjust to that. So, the chef isn't locked into a menu."
Superior Produce and Specialties is supplying more lower-grade fruit, Strandquist said.
"I think you're seeing lesser grades and seeing specialty and organics demand down," Strandquist said. "It's still there, but there's less demand."
In order to keep costs down and combat the recession, chefs are using more red vegetables and playing around with less expensive items on their plates, Strandquist said.
"Chefs are trying to find ways to reduce their cost of goods," Strandquist said. "They're doing more comparisons, pricing out weekly. It's more competitive."
There is hope in the restaurant industry, though. Paul Piazza, president of Minneapolis-based Minnesota Produce Inc., said there are a few large-scale construction projects going forward.
"On the west side of Minneapolis, it's a long way from being completed, but I'm sure there are going to be a lot of restaurants," Piazza said.

The Most Isolated Country in the World: North Korea
- by Alan Perlman
- on July 13th, 2010
- Leave a Comment
North Korea is so elusive, it doesn't even register on Google Maps.
I was first exposed to North Korea back in 2002, when it made U.S. news during President George W. Bush's axis of evil speech. Over time, as I picked up more and more facts about the country, I came to conclusion that North Korea, officially called the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, is one of the wildest countries out there, bar none. From its megalomaniac dictator Kim Jong-il to its strange, record-breaking Mass Games, North Korea is a secretive and otherworldly country.
Let's examine a few of DPRK's more peculiar elements:
The Current President Has Been Dead Since 1994
Yes, it's true. While Kim Jong-il is the defacto dictator of North Korea, the official president is his long-deceased father, Kim Il-Sung. Following his death, Kim Il-Sung was declared the Eternal President of the DPRK. His birthday is a national holiday.
From the mid-1960s, Kim Il-Sung instituted and promoted the Juche Idea, a self-developed ideology that requires absolute loyalty to the revolutionary leader. There are currently over 500 statues of Kim Il-Sung throughout North Korea and, interestingly enough, all pictures (of which there are many) show him as viewed from his left, as he had a large growth on the right side of his neck.
Kim Jong-il's Cult of Personality
Kim Il-Sung's son, Kim Jong-il, may not be the "Eternal President," but as of April 2009, it is stated in the constitution that he is the "Supreme Leader." Close enough.
Jong-il inherited an elaborate cult of personality from his father. His birthday, like his father's, is one of the most important holidays in the country. Many North Korean citizens believe he has the ability to control the weather based on his mood.
Kim Jong-il has a severe fear of flying and takes armored trains during his visits to Russia and China. He owns 20,000+ video tapes and particularly enjoys Rambo, Godzilla, Friday the 13th and any movie with Elizabeth Taylor. He refuses to consume any food or drink not produced in North Korea, the only exception being wine from France. Oh, and in case he ever needs to flee the country, Kim Jong-il has (reportedly) secretly stashed US$4 billion throughout a number of European banks.
The Largest Non-Auto Racing Stadium in the World
The Rungrado May Day Stadium can seat 150,000 people, and while it's used for various athletic matches, it's most often featured during the mass Arirang Festival, an annual event that celebrates the late Kim Il-sung's birthday on April 15. The performances are typically held in August and September.
In August 2007, the Arirang Mass Games, which kick off the two month festival, were declared by Guinness World Records as the largest event of its kind. Recently, North Korea has opened up this event to foreign tourists.
Citizens are hand-selected (from as young as 5 years old) to serve for the Arirang Festival for a number of years.
The State Maintains and Controls…Everything
Yep, pretty much everything. The Propaganda and Agitation Department or the Culture and Arts Department of the Central Committee of the KWP control media and literature, and of the few Communist states around the world, North Korea (and Cuba) has an almost entirely government-mapped, state-owned and highly centralized economy.
While many citizens do not own computers, those that do use Red Star, a highly censored home-grown computer system. Red Star uses a popular Korean folk song for it's start-up music and employs a calendar based on the birthday of Kim Il-Sung . It only takes 15 minutes to install!
The World's Most Brutalized People
Human Rights Watch has mentioned that North Koreans are "some of the world's most brutalized people," due to the severe limitations of their political and economic freedoms. The DPRK has also been accused of having one the worst human rights records of any nation. Many citizens are malnourished, and convicted political prisoners are sent to secret detention camps, of which there are an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 inmates, nearly 1% of the population. Within the camps, the following atrocities have been reported: torture, starvation, medical experimentation, forced labor, rape and forced abortions.

Is there a significant difference?
We are looking at a home owned by Fannie Mae that states it is approved for a HomePath and/or HomePath renovation loan. We were originally in contract with another property using a FHA 203 streamline loan, but thanks to a nightmare of a realtor(and our blind faith), we lost that one. Our broker is re running our pre approval for this new home but is running everything based on FHA criteria. Will this make a difference in the long run? Or is getting the pre approval at this time what matters most? Danielle |

We lost a house the same way last fall due to the same set of circumstances which was really stupid. Why in the blue blazes would an agent talk you out of buying a house? There's no carfax for houses and thanks to HUD and 203K we were able to do it right. Wells Fargo has 203K money right now, albeit pricey. We just signed a contract with Fannie Mae for house approved for Homepath. I asked my agent about this and he indicated that I wouldn't fit the(investor) criteria. Oddly enough today Fannie contacted Countrywide (AKA Bank of America) with whom I had obtained a pre-approval letter asking if I was doing business with them yet. BOA contacted me shortly thereafter, ran the numbers through D/U, and it looks like we may do some business. Let us know more about Homepath. |
Ok - I'm still waiting to hear. We are one of three with an offer on this home. I think our offer is the best of the three but we were not the first one in there, so it's a waiting game for us. Our mortgage broker is more familiar with the FHA than the HomePath financing but one of the groups they are contracted with specializes in HomePath loans. I don't know all the vocabulary yet. She is supposed to get back to me this morning. So we'll see. |

Are you sure you're not talking about Fannie's Homestyle program? I usually know most of Fannies programs and can not find a Home Path program. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fannie Home Style
From the listing... 'This is THE ONE. Beautiful home, move-in ready. Come and fall in love! Purchase this property for as little as 3% down! This propety is approved for HomePath Mortgage and HomePath Renovation Mortgage Financing. Please contact listing agent for more information' HomePath.com |

Very interesting .. learn something new every day .. these are Fannie Mae owned homes. Makes sense. |

Neighbor Says Victims Are to Blame for Drive By
POSTED: Friday, September 2, 2011 - 3:18pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 5, 2011 - 3:55pm
Two men are in serious condition today after several suspects drove by their house and opened fire around 4 a.m. this morning. We spoke to a neighbor this afternoon who is pointing the finger at the victims.
It seems quiet in an Edinburg neighborhood off of La Paz Rd. but according to some residents it's all but peaceful.
Two men were victims of a drive by shooting early this morning. Both were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. A man who lives right next door to the victims says he's not surprised.
"I like to feel sorry, I almost feel bad that they got killed. but Idon't feel like when you ask for it, you're going to get it," says the neighbor.
According to this neighbor the victims have caused a lot of issues in the area. He claims the men have been involved in all sorts of illegal activities, many of which neighbors don't want in the area..
He even pointed out a shed with threatening words he says are geared towards many people in the neighborhood.
The neighbor told us he has no idea who shot the men. but says the incident should be a warning to the victims.
We contacted the Sheriff's Department earlier today and they couldn't confirm whether or not they have any suspects in custody.

Does anyone know why my java fern would be turning a dark red-ish brown colour (spotted all over the plant). I am new to aquarium plants. I got the java fern a few weeks ago from Petsmart and until the last week I only had a 20W light, but for the last week I have had 65W light (6700K) on in the tank for about 14 hours/day. I don't have any supplemental C02 and I have my hornwort in there from my pond. I can try to post a picture if that might help. Thanks for anyone who might know! And special thanks to woeisme for his past and future help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
A picture helps, if it is just the ends and minimal spots on the leaves , I think it is normal in a newly aquired java fern. It takes a while to "break in", at least IME. Doesn't "need" organic CO2 but it will speed growth. I selected a nice one with no brown spots, attached it to a piece of driftwood and put it in an isolation tank. After a week it browned, then greened up nice once more. The link below has good info on aquatic plants. |

KaBOOM! is a national non-profit dedicated to the bold new goal of ensuring that all children, particularly the 16 million American children living in poverty, get the balance of active play they need to become healthy and successful adults.
KaBOOM! has been a powerful champion for play since its founding in 1996, working with partners to build, improve and open more than 15,000 playgrounds, engage more than 1,000,000 volunteers and serve more than 6,600,000 children.
KaBOOM! creates and catalyzes great places to play, inspires, empowers and leads play advocates, and educates and elevates the societal conversation about the importance of play in children's lives.
The event will begin 8:30 a.m. with a kick-off ceremony and construction will begin at 11 a.m. with the final construction phase beginning at 1 p.m. and a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m.
The park will be placed on the lot across from the basketball courts in Ward 1 at 222 S. Front St.
"The only power tools on a KaBOOM! project are drills. Everything is created with peoplepower. From the teams that mix cement and moves mulch to the crews that construct the component pieces, all of the volunteers are wholly engaged in an effort to give the kids in Ruleville the childhood they deserve," said Alyssa Ross, coordinator of communications for KaBoom!.
Ross said this playground is important because children will have a safer way to access a play to play.
"Society's well-being begins with a child's well-being, and play is central to a child's ability to grow into a productive adult. KaBOOM! seeks to accelerate efforts that move every kid in America to play every day—in their homes, schools and neighborhoods. There are no playspaces for children in the Southwest end of town. Currently, the children in Ward 1 have to cross a major highway to get to a playground. This one will allow more access to a safe playspace," she said.
This playground will be the fourth built by Good Neighbor Pharmacy and KaBOOM! for Ruleville and Ross also said it has many benefits because of the transformation recreation allows.
"A playground is more than a playground. It's a brain-expander, a friend-maker, and a muscle-builder. Play has the power to transform kids from sedentary, bored and solitary to physically, mentally and socially active.
"This will be the 2,429th playground that KaBOOM! has organized since its inception in 1996. Ruleville children came together at a special Design Day event in February to share drawings of their dream playgrounds. The adults on the planning committee reviewed their drawings, which inspired the final design," she said.

New York's High Line Begins Construction
April 21, 2006
Images courtesy Friends of the High Line
On April 10, workers began construction that will result in the conversion of Manhattan's High Line into a six-acre public park. Trains once used the abandoned rail trestle, which snakes 1.5 miles across city streets, to deliver freight to buildings on the city's far West Side. The park will occupy the trestle's elevated rail deck, which rises between 18 and 30 feet above street level. The first section of the park, by the team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro, runs from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street, and is scheduled for completion in Spring 2008.
The High Line's redevelopment is spurring a construction boom in its surrounding neighborhoods, where prominent architects, including Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Richard Rogers, Annabelle Selldorf, Robert A.M. Stern, Polshek Partnership, and Gwathmey Siegel are designing new buildings.
In addition to the high profile architects, a June 2005 rezoning allowing residential buildings along the High Line from 16th Street to 30th Street is also shaping new buildings. Urban design controls for the area ensure that adequate light and air reach the new-elevated park. And in contrast to other parts of Manhattan, where current zoning generally mandates a continuous street-wall, in the rezoned area abutting the High Line new buildings will be arranged in a staggered fashion. On certain large lots, up to 40 percent of a building's surface area can rise up next to the High Line.
"Building around the High Line requires architects to be more innovative than in other parts of Manhattan," says Amanda Burden, Chair of the New York City Planning Commission. To preserve open space around the High Line, the new zoning rules permit property owners to sell their development rights to building sites anywhere within the rezoned district. In most areas of Manhattan development rights can be sold to only to adjacent property owners.
Although the High Line is a major impetus for the redevelopment of far West Chelsea, designers and planners say that the preservation and reinterpretation of the structure's special qualities is key to its success as a park. "We want to make sure that it doesn't turn into an elevated street," says James Corner, Director of Field Operations. "Part of the magic of the thing is its complete separation from the city. It is completely severed from everything around it, and that is what makes it an interesting thing to walk on."

The Great Escape
The Great Escape
Leaving: Monday, July 29th
Returning: Saturday, August 3rd
Cost: $485 (scholarships available. Please fill out a request for financial assistance -->)
On July 29, the Middle School Youth Ministry Program is heading back to Johnstown, PA for the best week of their summer!
The Great Escape is an annual summer conference for middle school students! TGE Alum describe it as a fun, exciting atmosphere where students feel comfortable and loved. It is also inviting, fun, fresh and exciting for those who have never gone on a retreat before because it is the first time many are away from home worshipping God and letting loose with PPC friends. Just ask some of our TGE alumni, most students will say that it is the best week of their lives!
We will gather with over 500 youth from other churches in the Northeast for 5 days of sports tournaments, small group discussions, fellowship and even a few messy games(you may want to bring goggles).
The week is also highlighted by an incredible band, as well as the country's most dynamic speakers and small group leaders(some of which are PPC alums) who understand how to communicate in real ways to teenagers.
We hope your child will return moved and inspired to continue to grow in their faith! Don't hesitate,
Questions? Email the Director of Youth Ministries, Marshall Bell, email@example.com
Paoli Presbyterian Church

In order to keep the cost of the retreat lower, we will be organizing a team of parents and volunteers to help car-pool to Johnstown on July 29th and/or pick us up on the morning of August 3rd. This will be a great opportunity to serve the Middle School students of this Church and we hope it is life giving for you to hear about their excitement! If you are at all able to help, email Marshall Bell, our Director of Youth Ministries, as soon as possible!

I'm growing several types of tomatoes for my first time - Brandywine, Black Krim, Black Prince, and San Marzano. Leaves seem to be showing signs of infection/infestation, or at best stress, except the San Marzanos. They're all right next to each other so it's just a matter of time with them. A little background: My garden is way too crowded - lesson learned for next year. I have my garden set-up on a drip sytem with a timer so over the top watering or backsplash not happening here. The peas in my garden did not do well and I suspect ultimately died due to fusarium wilt. For some reason they are still producing (nothing worthwhile), so I left them in against my better judgement. Lastly, as with many areas, it's been VERY hot and dry in IL this summer; however, I've had the entire garden on a timer so it has been watered consistently. Oh yeah, and I'm due for a fertilization tomorrow... That all being said, today when I was out in the garden I noticed that some leaves have started to deveolop white-ish or yellow coloring, along with some browning and die-off down below. Outside of real mild cracking, no fruit has not been affected at this time. Any idea what's going on here? Could it just be stress due to the heat, bugs, and/or fertilization needed? Possibility of fusarium wilt? |

Here is a picture of some of the die-off. What looks like a dead stem on the left hand side is actually a stick I've used for staking. On second thought, maybe that's not a good idea in the future as they are likely to carry diseases? |

I need to plant a Bloodgood close to a 5 ft high cement block retaining wall. The tree will be in the raised area) The container is 18" dia,(15 gal.) so I could go as close as 9" but I don't want to have a problem with the wall later. The garden space is somewhat tight and I want to have as much clearance between the tree and patio as I can get to allow for growth. I note that the established pyracantha, junipers, and nandina in this raised area that were planted right against the wall years ago by the previous owner are large and healthy. 2nd question; should I do any pruning on the Bloodgood now (it's just leafed out) or wait until next winter? |

Do I understand you to say the 'Bloodgood' will be planted on top of the retaining wall? If so, the consideration of how successful that might be will based on the strength and structural integrity of the wall. Otherwise, planting the tree close to the wall is not a problem - you just want to make sure nothing really obstructs the topgrowth or canopy spread. Generally JM's require minimal pruning, especially when newly planted. You may need to thin gently as time goes on and can remove dead wood at any time or conflicting branching. It would really help to see a photo to determine if any pruning is needed at this time. |
Thanks. The wall has been in place 30+ years and, until Friday, there was a tree-sized pyracantha in the spot where the maple will go. |

text: Assistant Editor GREATER SPRINGFIELD -- The March of Dimes Western Massachusetts Chapter has no intention of slowing fundraising efforts just because of the economic recession; rather, they're striving for a record-breaking year. The foundation, which works to improve infant health through research, grants and community advocacy, hopes to raise a record, $48,000 at its annual Signature Chefs Auction on Nov. 1 at the Log Cabin in Holyoke. "We [raised] $41,000 last year so I decided to set the bar high," Division Director Kristin Introvigne said, adding that the benefits of infant health outweigh any cost. Chef and local business participation is at its highest this year, she noted, with 12 restaurants on board, including Spoleto Restaurant, Caf Lebanon, Storrowton Tavern, Log Cabin and Delaney House and Tavern on the Hill. The night will also include a silent and live auction as well as the presentation of the Charitable Leadership Award to Springfield Falcons Charities and their Owner and General Manager Bruce Landon. "They just seemed like a natural nominee [for the award]," Introvigne said of the Falcons. "They've done so much for community organizations in Western Massachusetts, not just the March of Dimes." Landon credited all those involved with the Falcons organization. "We are very humbled at being selected to receive this award . It's not just me, it's really our organization and all those who work with me," he said. "Our whole goal with Springfield Falcons Charities is to give back to the kids. Having two healthy kids of my own and healthy grandchildren, you learn to be really grateful for what you have," Landon added. Damon Markiewicz, manager of media relations for the Falcons and also a member of the March of Dimes board of directors, called the award "an honor." A premie himself, Markiewicz said he and the Falcons are dedicated to helping the foundation in any way they can. Tickets are still available for the Signature Chefs Auction at the Log Cabin, 500 Easthampton Rd., Holyoke on Nov. 1 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $100 each and sponsorships are available for $1,500. Silent and live auction items include vacation packages, signed sports memorabilia from the Falcons, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Columbus Blue Jackets, New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox, free dinners from participating restaurants, jewelry and toys courtesy of Hasbro.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bubba!
Facts about Bubba
- Breed: Bullmastiff Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bubba's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bubba was left in a high kill shelter in January when his owner was told he couldn't see his grandchild (allergies) unless he got rid of his dog! He cried like a baby when he had to leave him there and the shelter manager promised him she would take care of him. Months went by and no one adopted the big lug. Bubba became very depressed and started to lose weight and was sad all the time even though the shelter workers gave him tons of love and lots of attention. It's just hard on a pup when they have lived their entire lives in a home with love and care to adjust to life in a shelter. They manager there reached out to us to take him in as the shelter was full and they were running out of room and Bubba was running out of time. We saw that face and couldn't turn them down. This dog is truly amazing! He will only go to the perfect home and the perfect family, we are absolutely in love with him and are going to be very particular when it comes to his fuever home. He is starting to gain weight and we are working on healing the kennel sores on his joints. He is truly a gentle angel and only deserves the best that life has to offer. If you feel you can fit the bill and live up to his expectations please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application.
Bubba's adoption fee is $500 he is neutered, current on shots and microchipped.
Other Pets at Our Best Friends Animal Rescue Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bubba, a Freeport Bullmastiff dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bullmastiff for sale in Freeport, or seeking a Bullmastiff dog from a breeder in Freeport.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Freeport already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Freeport breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bullmastiff breeders who help with Bullmastiff rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Freeport paves the way for another one to be saved.

Disabato: Marist looks like the real deal

Marist had its skeptics as far as the SouthtownStar's No. 1 preseason ranking was concerned.
Of course, there's still a long way to go in the season; two wins does not make a season a success. But after posting two victories against Catholic League Blue teams — 35-25 in Week 1 vs. St. Rita and 49-35 Friday over Brother Rice — Marist proved, without a doubt, it's worthy of the lofty standing.
Last I checked, the Catholic Blue is still one of, if not the, best conferences in the state.
"It's awesome; a great feeling to beat Catholic League Blue teams," said Marist's Peter Andreotti, who rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns against Brother Rice. "I think what we showed is that we're a team. It's not just about Woody (Ian Woodworth), Wish (Nic Weishar) or (Bryan) Polak. It's the whole team."
Great analysis, young man.
What impressed me most about Marist on Friday was its defense. It's vastly improved from the unit that allowed 319 points in 10 games in 2011.
The 35 points allowed to Rice are misguided. The RedHawks led 49-14 early in the fourth quarter, the horses were out of the barn and so were most of the defensive starters.
The starting unit had Rice quarterback Matt Page scrambling as if he were being chased by a horde of stinging yellow jackets not RedHawks. Marist registered six sacks, with Shannon Smith, Josh Hickey, Mike Layer and Tim Finucane bringing constant heat.
Special teams was outstanding, blocking two punts, including one for a touchdown by Jimmy Smith.
What should really concern future opponents is that despite posting 84 points the first two games combined, Marist's offense is not hitting on all cylinders.
The RedHawks left some points — namely, the passing game — on the field against Rice.
"There's a lot of room to improve in all three facets of the game," Marist coach Pat Dunne said. "But I couldn't be more proud of the players and how they've responded so far."
The most glaring area to tighten up: penalties. The RedHawks were hit with more than 100 yards worth Friday, including five 15-yarders.
That could be the difference between victory or defeat in a close game.
Dunne could have awarded the game ball to numerous players, but it was hard to dispute the impact of Flynn Nagel, whose older brothers, Aaron and Brett, graduated from Lemont and played college ball at Northwestern.
The sophomore returned kicks, punted, rushed the ball and recorded four catches, including a 16-yarder for a touchdown. He also hauled in a 2-point conversion pass from Woodworth that upped the RedHawks' lead to 28-7.
"Flynn can do a lot of things for us, which he showed tonight," Dunne said.
I'm eager to see how Rice responds to the loss. The 48-14 win over Shepard in Week 1 is a distant memory, it seems. The Crusaders travel to Bishop McNamara on Friday night. If playoff aspirations are going to be realized, this is a game the Crusaders likely will need to win to secure a spot.
As far as the crowd, it was mammoth, but well behaved. Try as the Rice personnel did of denying the RedHawk Rowdies access to the field, it couldn't be prevented. The Rowdies stormed the field, similar to Rice's Crusader Crazies last season, to celebrate the Pulaski Road Super Bowl win.
Stagg fans were very excited after a 43-14 season-opening win over Hillcrest. Who could blame them. The Chargers were 1-17 over the previous two seasons. I warned Charger Nation, though, not to get too amped up and that a Week 2 meeting with Sandburg would provide a better gauge.
Sandburg 55, Stagg 7.
That's the sound of some air being let out of the balloon.
One of the most impressive wins of the weekend was St. Rita's 49-7 trouncing over Danville.
Danville's not an easy place to play, with the concrete bleachers, cinder track and the presence of home fans right on top of the end zone. Additionally, Danville has qualified for the playoffs six straight seasons and has advanced to the Class 6A semifinals two of the last three.
But the Mustangs, after a Week 1 loss to Marist, made a statement.

The 55 and 300-yard state indoor champion, he closed out his career by capturing the 200-meter outdoor title this spring with a 22.23 clocking. In addition to his indoor state titles, he also was the New England runner-up in the 300.


text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 286 - 11 December, 1975 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Withdrawal of Ambassador. Dr. Thornley Dr. Thornley 22. Dr. Thornley asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs why, alone amongst the ambassadors of the EEC Member nations, the Irish Ambassador was not withdrawn over the recent issue of the execution of five Basque nationalists. Minister for Foreign Affairs (Dr. FitzGerald) Garret FitzGerald Minister for Foreign Affairs (Dr. FitzGerald): The Deputy, I take it, is referring to executions which took place in Spain on 27th September, 1975, when two members of the Basque ETA organisation were executed in Burgos and three members of the FRAP, a Maoist group, were executed in Barcelona. 1526 [1526] On 9th September, the Irish Ambassador in Madrid, on my instructions, made representations to the Spanish Government asking them, on humanitarian grounds, not to proceed with the executions. Ireland, as one of the Nine, was also associated with representations in a similar sense which Italy, as the country holding the Presidency, made on 25th September on behalf of the member States of the European Communities. Notwithstanding these representations, the Spanish Government carried out the executions on 27th September and over the following days a number of European countries, including six of our partners in the EEC, recalled their ambassadors from Madrid to their capitals for consultations. The member States of the EEC informed each other of their decisions in this regard but the decision in each case was an individual one by the Government concerned and there was no proposal at any stage for concerted action by the Nine as such. In this situation, the Government, having considered the position, decided not to withdraw the Irish Ambassador. They took this decision. in the first place, because they considered that consultation with the ambassador in person was not necessary since he had been in Dublin a short time previously; and in the second place, because they considered that his recall, as a symbolic gesture, would not have been the most appropriate or useful response, in the current situation in Spain. 1527 I think it should be clear from the appeals for clemency which Ireland has made earlier and from the fact that we joined with our EEC partners in further representations before the executions that this decision of the Government did not indicate any lack of concern on our part. In considering what it was right for us to do after the executions, the Government had in mind rather the strong possibility that recall of the Ambassadors as a symbolic gesture might not only be ineffective but could indeed be counter-productive since it would arouse resentment in Spain and could help to consolidate support within the [1527] country for a more hardline attitude during this transitional period. A further consideration was that an ambassador, once recalled, must either be retained indefinitely at headquarters for consultations or returned to his post within a short time. To retain an ambassador at headquarters indefinitely for consultations is regarded, in diplomatic practice, as an indication of a major breach in relations and in this instance would have deprived us of contacts in Spain during a crucial transitional period; on the other hand to return an ambassador within a short time of his withdrawal could be taken as an expression of approval of developments in the country concerned. The view of the Government is that neither of these courses would have been justified in the situation which obtained in Spain in late September and the period immediately following the executions. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: Will the Minister state if the length of his reply indicates he is not so happy with the position? This matter was discussed when we were debating the Supplementary Estimate. Will he indicate how many of the other members of the Community who withdrew their ambassadors have restored their representation? Secondly, will he indicate if, in their case, the gesture was harmful and counter-productive, as he implied? Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: The length of my reply indicates my desire to keep the House fully informed. I am perfectly happy with the situation in regard to this matter. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: We went into this matter in some detail on the Supplementary Estimate. Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald 1528 Dr. FitzGerald: Deputy Thornley put down a question and I have endeavoured to reply to it fully. It was discussed on the Supplementary Estimate but I thought it proper that the House should have a full reply. On the other point raised by the Deputy, the ambassadors returned very shortly afterwards. I think the representatives [1528] of the United Kingdom and Germany returned on 8th October, Denmark and Belgium on 10th October, the Dutch representative on 11th October and the French on 13th October. Of course, the French ambassador had not been withdrawn. He was on holiday at the time. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: In the course of the debate on the Supplementary Estimate the Minister said that the French ambassador was not withdrawn. It appears that he was conveniently on holiday at the time. Now the Minister has indicated that he has returned. Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: The Deputy asked when the ambassadors returned and I am answering the question. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: I asked who had returned of those who were withdrawn. Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: The question referred to the nine countries. The position is that the French ambassador was on holiday in the ordinary way and returned on 13th October. I am sorry if I gave the Deputy more information that he asked but I like to reply fully to questions. I have not the date on which the Italian ambassador returned but I think it was around the same time. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: I also asked the Minister if he considers their gesture was harmful and counter-productive. Does he consider that was the case? Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: Yes. I might add that this view is privately shared by a number of them at this stage. Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy Mr. O'Kennedy: They have come around to the Minister's view? Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: Yes. Mr. Moore Mr. Moore Mr. Moore: Will the Minister inform the House if the Government have a common policy for the withdrawal or otherwise of representatives? Is it easier to withdraw a representative from a western European country than from an eastern European country? Will the Minister state what guidelines are used? An Ceann Comhairle Seán Treacy An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is raising a major issue now. Question No. 23. Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald 1529 [1529] Dr. FitzGerald: The guideline is what result the action is likely to produce and as our concern is with helping a situation in a given set of circumstances we make that the criterion rather than any ideological considerations or general principles. It is the actual application in a particular case that matters. Mr. Moore Mr. Moore Mr. Moore: The Minister means he makes it up as he goes along? An Ceann Comhairle Seán Treacy An Ceann Comhairle: I have already called the next question. Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald Dr. FitzGerald: We deal with each situation as it arises.

Gameloft has just sent out a brand new trailer for StarFront: Collision, along with a release date of February 10. This trailer shows gameplay footage for the first time, and even includes the iPhone version. Check it out after the jump.
In addition to today's trailer (which you can view below) and newly announced February 10 release date, there's one more bit of important StarFront news we have to pass along. Just like last week's Sacred Odyssey, Gameloft is making StarFront a free download, with an in-app purchase to unlock the full game. The price of the DLC has not yet been announced.
Bad news, everyone! Gameloft has delayed the release of StarFront: Collision to February 18. In the meantime, you can either play Starcraft to get your RTS fix, or keep watching the trailer over and over on repeat. For a week.
StarFront is now available on the App Store! The initial download gets you a tutorial and the first level. After that, it'll cost ya. Click here to get started, and check back soon for our review.
The last new game we played at Gameloft today, in addition to N.O.V.A. 2, Shadow Guardian, and Eternal Legacy, was StarFront: Collision. This real-time strategy game has a sci-fi theme, with three different races: Humans, bug aliens, and noble, energy-based cyborgs. Sound familiar?
StarFront: Collision (sorry, no screenshots yet) borrows more than a page from Blizzard's landmark RTS StarCraft– it borrows the whole book. Instead of Terran, Zerg, and Protoss, you play as the Consortium, Myriad, and Wardens. Fortunately, in StarFront each race seems about as distinct as they are in StarCraft.
Scenes from the cinematic trailer.
We played both the single-player story campaign and a few rounds of the skirmish mode, to try out each different race. The Consortium are the heavily armored humans, stomping around in mech suits with tanks and artillery for backup. Their storyline starts with a squad stumbling on a decimated base. You then have to find a working headquarters, begin producing "drudges" to collect gems and energy, and build up your army.
The two alien races, the insect-like Myriads and metallic, priestly Wardens, represent opposite ends of the resources vs. strength spectrum. The Myriad are weak, but you can hatch a brood very quickly and rush your opponents. We loved the way their worker grubs move around by flopping end-over-end like a Slinky going down the stairs.
The Wardens require a lot of resources to produce, but just one basic fighter can stand toe to toe with a single Myriad or human Consortium fighter and win every time. They're technologically advanced, expensive, and effective.
Scenes from the cinematic trailer.
Gameloft has done an admirable job of cramming a full RTS interface onto the iPad's touchscreen. You can zip around with a minimap, assign squads to one of three groups, and give commands to patrol an area. You can also select a group with multitouch, or by hitting a group button at the bottom of the screen.
While the user interface we used was obviously a placeholder, with low-res text and menus, the rest of the game looked quite good. You can zoom in and out slightly with a slider on the left side, and we were impressed by environmental details like vapors emitting from a glowing crack in the ground.
In addition to the single-player story and skirmish modes, you'll also be able to play with up to three other players in local and online matches. Gameloft Live is the matchmaking service for now, but by the time the game launches in January, Game Center might be integrated as well.
There are a lot of great RTS games already available on iDevices, like Command and Conquer and Armada – Galactic War, but this is the only one we've played that actually feels like StarCraft. Why wait for Blizzard to get on the iPad, when StarFront will be here in January? Both the launch date and the RTS gameplay are close enough to count.

I want to welcome you to Community Baptist Church. I realize that for some people the thought of going to church can be very intimidating.
Relax. Come and visit us some Sunday morning and see what it is all about. What you will find is a variety of people who, just like you, are also coming to explore and grow in their walk with God. Some are still just trying to figure it all out and others have been believers for a long time. Regardless of where you are in your faith journey we will provide the opportunity to learn more about God and how this all applies to you and your everyday life.
Let me assure you that God loves you and wants a personal relationship with you. He proved it by sending His Son and He tells us in the Bible that He has a purpose for your life! Also, there is no need to get your life together before you come to CBCH. God accepts you just as you are and so will we!
If I can be of any assistance, please email me at
or call the church at 513.367.1090. Stop by and check us out. We promise to give you the love and support that you need to get to know God better. Hope to see you soon! I promise, you won't leave the same.
Doug Wallin
Sometimes in our faith journey we get stuck in a rut. Our relationship with God was never intended to be static. God does not want us to be at the same place in our spiritual walk today that we were last year. It isn't enough to just know as much as we can about God. Knowledge without growth and action leads to disappointing Christianity. We must follow the progression found in 2 Peter to experience all that God wants for us.
We are currently doing an evening series on "
". We will be looking at what we believe and why we believe what we believe. We will be focusing on the questions that many people have about Christianity. This is a casual bible study and open to everyone. The study is from 6:30p-7:30p.

BRANSON, Mo., September 26, 2012 – Easy-listening heartthrob Andy Williams, 84, died Tuesday evening at his home in Branson, Missouri. He had been suffering from bladder cancer and reportedly succumbed to complications from that disease.
Williams first rocketed to fame due to a single song—"Moon River"—the theme song from the 1961 hit film "Breakfast at Tiffany's," which starred Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. After his rendition of the tune at the 1962 Academy Awards ceremonies turned the Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer song into a bona-fide hit, Williams' fame was quickly assured. He later made use of this signature song as the opening theme for his popular comedy-music-variety program, "The Andy Williams Show," which became a beloved TV tradition during the 1960s.
Williams' long running show proved surprisingly enduring throughout that tumultuous decade, becoming a reliably wholesome family alternative to the edgier entertainment fare, like "Laugh In" and "The Smothers Brothers" comedy hour that characterized the new face of TV. In keeping with his mellower format, Williams' guest roster generally included older Hollywood stars. But he later introduced some newer ones, including the well-scrubbed Osmond Brothers whose career trajectory was arguably launched by the singer.
Williams' later shows and TV Christmas Specials carried on this family tradition, although he wasn't exactly a stick in the mud, either. For example, he was unafraid to invite contemporary pop favorites like the Mamas and the Papas and Elton John to appear on his shows. Nonetheless, his regular show departed from TV in 1971.
Andy Williams was born in rural Wall Lake, Iowa, and grew up singing in a local church choir with his older brothers. The brothers also copped occasional singing gigs on Midwestern radio outlets, billing themselves, unsurprisingly, as the Williams Brothers.
Eventually beloved as a crooner in the tradition of Bing Crosby, it's not surprising that Williams' career was helped by an early association with Der Bingle himself. Around the end of World War II, Crosby had employed Andy and his brothers as backup singers on one of his recordings, giving their struggling act a boost.
But they never really broke out, even after that recording. As a result, Williams' brothers eventually decided to leave show business in the early 1950s. But their younger brother Andy decided to give it another go and struck out on his own.
After the act broke up, Williams tried to make it on his own, traveling to New York and checking out the still-new medium of television. He got lucky and appeared on Steve Allen's then brand-new "Tonight"—which originated in the Big Apple and remained there for many years before successor host Johnny Carson decided to transplant the show to LA. This and other appearances kept Williams' career alive until his breakout with "Moon River" in the early 1960s.
Although Williams became well known for his image as a family man, domestic tranquility wasn't always firmly within his grasp. After a fourteen-year marriage to the wispy, exquisitely beautiful Claudine Longet, a French singer with whom he had two sons and a daughter, the couple divorced in 1975.
Not long after, Longet was embroiled in a juicy international scandal when she shot and killed a popular Russian ski champion, Spider Sabitch, in trendy Aspen Colorado where the couple were carrying on a tempestuous affair. She claimed that the shooting was accidental.
During her later trial for homicide, Williams gallantly took his ex-wife's side in court. She was eventually found guilty of a lesser charge, serving only a month in jail.
Later in his career, Williams became a fixture in Las Vegas, headlining shows where he sang "Moon River" and other movie hit songs, such as the theme songs from "Days of Wine and Roses," "Charade," "Love Story," and "The Way We Were." His record albums accumulated three platinum and eighteen gold album awards, assuring his continuing popularity, particularly among members of the Greatest Generation who considered him something of a national entertainment treasure.
Although he was popular in Vegas, Williams discovered the mellower music city of Branson, Missouri in the early 1990s. The family-oriented entertainment scene there appealed to Williams' own low-key background and style. He eventually took his act there, building his own Andy Williams Moon River Theater in that town to serve as his new performance home and buying a home in Branson as well. He continued to maintain a second residence in California.
Although a life-long Republican, Williams was a close friend of the late Senator Robert Kennedy, and sang at the Senator's funeral after his 1968 assassination. More recently, he had been vociferous in his opposition to the politics of the current U.S. President, Barack Obama.
Long after his divorce from Claudine Longet, Williams remarried in the early 1990s, this time to a professional woman named Debbie Haas. She survives him as do two of his brothers, his three children by Claudine Longet, and several grandchildren. Plans for funeral services were unavailable.
